Before the end of Chapter 314—The Prince of a Different Surname Leaves the Capital in a Hurry
Even Zhao Yunzheng, who had experienced life and death, couldn't help but choke up when he learned that their young prince was still alive.
For over thirty years, it wasn't just the prince and princess who were saddened; they were also deeply grieved.
Because it was he who left with the princess back then, the disappearance of the young prince made him feel guilty for more than 30 years.
Unexpectedly, fate was kind to him; a young prince appeared, and not only that, he got married and started a family…
"Yunzheng, don't get agitated, explain yourself first!" Li Chaoyang was extremely anxious when he saw Zhao Yunzheng about to speak but tears were already streaming down his face.
Zhao Yunzheng was too excited to speak at this point, and could only hand the envelope that the prince had given him to Li Chaoyang.
"What is this?" Li Chaoyang hadn't initially thought about what was in the envelope.
"Read the contents carefully." For the first time, Zhao Yunzheng felt that Li Chaoyang was too stupid. He had already handed him the letter, but instead of reading it, he asked questions while Zhao Yunzheng was excited.
"My God, is this real?" Li Chaoyang grabbed Zhao Yunzheng's hand excitedly after seeing the contents of the document, asking in disbelief.
"Ouch, be gentle, be gentle..." Damn it, how come this idiot is even more excited than him, pinching his arm so hard it hurts.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I was just too excited." Seeing the ferocious expression on Zhao Yunzheng's face, Li Chaoyang quickly let go of his hand and apologized profusely.
"Alright, you've read the letter. I'm heading to Qingshui County in Pingliang Prefecture now. Do you want to come? If not, I'll go by myself." Lin Lingtian saw that these two were even more excited than him, and he knew why.
He smiled before revealing that he wanted to leave the city.
"Your Highness, you mustn't!" Zhao Yunzheng quickly stopped Lin Lingtian upon hearing his words.
"Zhao Yunzheng, what do you mean? Don't you want the young master and the others to come back?" Li Chaoyang immediately retorted upon hearing Zhao Yunzheng's words.
"Get out of my way." He pushed Li Chaoyang aside and squeezed in front of Lin Lingtian.
"Your Highness, if you're in such a hurry to leave the capital, how many eyes in the city are watching you..."
"You went straight to the Princess and the young prince, which may bring them a lot of unknown dangers. Didn't you consider that?"
"Furthermore, the princess's letter mentioned that the young prince is already married and has four bright and clever children. As his grandfather whom you have never met, shouldn't you bring some gifts as a token of your respect?"
Although Zhao Yunzheng only said two sentences, each one was crucial, instantly bringing the agitated Lin Lingtian to his senses.
“You’re right. If we want to see my son and his grandchildren, we should bring some gifts.” With that, he mounted his horse and set off to prepare the gifts.
Well, Lin Lingtian is selectively deaf; he only listens to Zhao Yunzheng's last sentence.
"Your Highness, why didn't you listen to what I said earlier..." Zhao Yunzheng saw his prince rushing out and quickly chased after him.
"Alright, you don't need to worry. The prince is a man of principle."
"Besides, we're here along the way. We just need to keep an eye on the prince and make sure he doesn't get too excited or attract attention..." Li Chaoyang knew that the prince must be excited right now.
It's already quite good that he can listen to some of what's being said.
"Well, that's all we can do." Zhao Yunzheng watched as the prince rode out of the mansion, then turned around and returned to his own residence.
"Where are you going?" Li Chaoyang was completely baffled when he saw Zhao Yunzheng leave.
"Of course I have to go back and prepare things to see the young prince. I can't go empty-handed." Like Li Chaoyang, he had also escorted the princess out of the city that year, but he failed to protect the princess and the young prince.
The two felt guilty their whole lives and never married or had children. To them, the prince and princess were their family, and the young prince they had found was also their family.
Now that the young prince has been found, he naturally wants to prepare a grand gift to make up for his negligence and guilt back then.
"Then I'll go too..." Upon hearing this, Li Chaoyang followed Zhao Yunzheng eagerly, happily preparing gifts for the young prince's child.
As evening fell, a very inconspicuous carriage drove out from the back gate of the Prince's Mansion.
The carriage was decorated in an extremely ordinary manner, so ordinary that any carriage you could grab on the streets of the capital would be more luxurious.
Because it was so ordinary, even a bit dilapidated, passersby would glance at it and then look away.
The carriage that came out of the Prince's Mansion did not linger on the streets of the capital for long, except for stopping at a steamer shop to buy a basket of steamed buns.
They sped towards the southeast city gate.
When the city gate guards stopped them for inspection, the unassuming coachman secretly slipped a two-tael silver ingot to one of them, and the guards let him pass without hesitation.
"Phew, finally out..." Once they reached the City God Temple, ten miles outside the capital, Li Chaoyang finally dropped his disguise and breathed a sigh of relief.
Being too famous isn't good either. In order to go on a long trip, you have to disguise yourself to avoid being seen and sneak out.
"Hurry up, I can't wait to see the Princess and the young prince's family..." Zhao Yunzheng urged Li Chaoyang to hurry up, riding the steed that had been prepared there.
Lin Lingtian had already found the thoroughbred horse that they had arranged to be there as soon as they arrived behind the City God Temple, and had already ridden it a long way off.
"Alright, I'm coming right away, just wait a moment." Li Chaoyang took the gifts off the carriage, straddled the horse on both sides, and hurried to catch up with Zhao Yunzheng.
The three men and their three horses headed towards Pingliang Prefecture. Along the way, they didn't stop for a moment except to feed the horses some hay, all in order to reach Qingshui County in Pingliang Prefecture as soon as possible and see their beloved relatives.
Lin Luoxi and the others were unaware that their blood relatives in Jincheng were rushing towards them.
At this moment, Lin Luoxi was sitting in her boudoir listening to Lin Wangshi imparting to her the secret techniques of women in their boudoirs.
Hearing those things that made her blush and her heart race, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Because what Lin Wangshi said was too explicit, Lin Luoxi couldn't listen to it anymore and had to stand up and see Lin Wangshi out.
"You silly child, what's there to be shy about? Tomorrow, when you're completely honest with Han Chuan and don't know where to start, you'll realize how important what I'm saying today is..."
"Oh dear! Mom, stop talking, I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep now and get some rest, I'll be busy tomorrow..."
Seeing that Lin Wangshi still wanted to ramble on about these irritating topics, Lin Luoxi quickly excused herself and sent Lin Wangshi out of the room, saying she was sleepy.
