Prince Linhai was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The Queen Mother put Linlin under house arrest just to make me behave myself. As long as I'm here, she's safe. We must send someone to rescue her as soon as possible, or else something bad will happen."
Xia Heng nodded: "Your Highness is wise, but the Queen Mother is keeping the Princess under very strict watch. How can we rescue her?"
The corners of Prince Linhai's mouth curled up into a smile. "The Queen Mother thought that by placing these family members under house arrest she could control the provincial governors and princes, but she didn't realize that it was so easy to get out of control. If anything happens to these family members, it will give them a ready-made handle for rebellion."
Xia Heng's eyes lit up: "That's right. I sent people to rescue the princess, but it's too far away. I don't know if anything will happen when they arrive."
Jiang Zhixu stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes determined. "I'll leave this matter to you. Linlin must return to me safely. No mistakes will be made."

He could not wait to run towards her, wanting to hold her tightly in his arms and feel her warmth. However, when he finally ran to her, she disappeared before his eyes like a wisp of smoke.
He often thought of the time in the capital that year when she had made him a jade pendant. The jade pendant was smooth and warm, with the words "never leave, never abandon" engraved on it, as if it were her promise and expectation for him.
He suddenly clenched the jade pendant at his waist, feeling its presence, as if he could touch her warmth. However, at this moment, the jade pendant hurt his palm, just like the words "return safely" she always said, which pierced his heart.
