After Yuan Ruo finished writing, he took the carrier pigeon to a secluded place and released it.
However, no one paid any attention to his pigeon, and the lord was having a great time.
Without any hesitation, Yuan Ruo left with a smile.
On this day, the butler led his men to search for Lin Ziwen, while Xiaolian stayed by Su Lixia's side all night. Although Yi Zexuan was somewhat helpless, he could not stop them.
The carrier pigeons were fast; they arrived at the Regent's Palace in the early afternoon.
The butler looked at the carrier pigeon with curiosity, picked it up, took the letter down, and gasped when he saw its contents.
However, the prince is not at the manor!
"Someone, prepare the car!"
With that, the steward got into the carriage and left. He went to the princess's residence first. If the letter meant that Yi Zexuan had returned and that the princess was seriously injured and not in the palace, then she was probably at the princess's residence.
They rushed over at top speed, but found nothing.
When Aunt Chun saw that he had suddenly arrived, she knew something was wrong based on their years of experience.
"What happened? You look so rushed."
"Oh, it's nothing. It seems the prince left some things here a while ago, and asked me to look for them."
Aunt Chun was even more puzzled: "The prince has come several times, but he has never stayed for long. How could he have left anything behind?"
"It's probably because it suddenly fell. I don't know exactly how it got lost. Since His Highness instructed us to come and look for it, let's do it."
Aunt Chun nodded and told him to go find it.
But seeing Aunt Chun's reaction, he didn't go in to look for her anymore, because he already knew the answer.
"Alright, alright. The prince didn't explain exactly what it was, so let's not look for it anymore. We'll talk about it when the prince returns. If you see anything that looks like it's from the prince's residence, keep an eye out for it. I'll head back now. You keep a close eye on things here."
After saying that, the butler left.
Aunt Chun clicked her tongue and said, "Why is this person so strange?"
After the butler left, he shook his head helplessly. The next place to go was the Lin residence, but if he couldn't find them there either, where should he look?
Thinking of this, the steward sighed again and waved to the coachman, saying, "Let's go to the Lin residence again."
The coachman agreed, said yes, and then the two set off.
They arrived at the Lin residence when it was already completely dark.
"You've arrived?" The second steward of the Lin family came forward to greet him after being informed.
"Is the Prince here with you?" Uncle Li asked.
The butler nodded and said, "They arrived before noon today."
"Where is it? Take me there quickly."
"Okay, come this way."
Then the butler took Uncle Li to Yi Zexuan's place.
Yi Zexuan was in the room next to Su Lixia's, writing calligraphy with ink.
"Why did you come all of a sudden? Did you receive news from Yuan Ruo?"
Uncle Li grunted and handed the letter to Yi Zexuan: "It just arrived this afternoon. Seeing what it says makes this old servant feel terrified. Fortunately, I found the Prince at the young master's residence, otherwise this old servant really wouldn't know where to find the Prince."
After reading what was written on the letter, Yi Zexuan clenched his fist tightly: "This woman has such a vicious heart!"
Seeing that Li Zexuan was very angry, Uncle Li asked, "Is Your Highness referring to the one who harmed the princess?"
"She didn't want to harm the princess; her biggest goal was to kill me. It was only because the princess took those two arrows for me that I survived."
The steward sighed and said, "Once the prince has caught him red-handed, he will definitely avenge the princess."
"That's for sure. The princess's love life is not going well right now, and she could die at any moment."
Upon hearing this, the guard frowned: "Is there no way to save them?"
"Yes, it is possible, but the chances are slim, and success is not guaranteed."
"The princess really did sacrifice herself, but if that really happens, how will we explain it to the Emperor?"
Yi Zexuan shook his head and said, "Don't say that so soon, it's a bit ominous. If something really happens, it will be difficult to explain to the Emperor."
"This old servant should go and see the princess," Uncle Li suggested.
Yi Zexuan waved his hand and said, "Go if you want, but don't stay too long."
"Yes," Uncle Li replied, then turned and left.
When they arrived at Su Lixia's room, they saw Xiaolian lying by the bed, not saying a word.
Uncle Li stepped forward, took a closer look, and seeing Su Lixia lying there as if nothing had happened, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Then he half-squatted down and patted Xiaolian's shoulder, comforting her, "The prince will definitely find a way to save your princess. Staying here like this won't help. You might as well rest and look radiant in front of your princess. If your princess suddenly wakes up and you look lifeless, she will be very unhappy. So you should rest well."
Upon hearing this, Xiaolian looked up at Uncle Li and said, "Uncle Li, you've come? Your arrival means the princess can be saved, right?"
Uncle Li nodded, his eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Yes, otherwise the prince wouldn't have summoned me here."
"That's good, that's good. Then Uncle Li must save the princess."
Uncle Li nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best. You should go back and rest."
"Okay." This time, Xiaolian obediently agreed.
However, Xiaolian's lower body was completely numb. She tried to get up by holding onto the bedside but couldn't. She almost fell to the ground, but luckily Uncle Li caught her.
Uncle Li helped Xiaolian out of the room. The housekeeper was overjoyed to see this and quickly pointed to the room next to it, saying, "That room has been cleaned up. Go and rest there."
So Uncle Li and the second steward helped Xiaolian into the room to rest.
After leaving the room, the second steward said, "You're really something. You managed to persuade them to come out after only a short time inside. We tried for ages but nothing worked."
"Just focus on her pain points. This girl will probably sleep for a long time, so let's not let anyone disturb her."
"That's natural, that's natural."
At this moment, Er Guan's family was summoned in by Yi Zexuan.
"Your Highness."
"That man from the Central Plains was thrown out back then and has been recuperating in your mansion. Has he still not left the mansion yet?"
The official nodded and said, "Because there are people watching him outside, he hasn't been released. His injuries haven't fully healed, and he's left with a limp, making it difficult for him to walk. So he's been kept in the mansion."
Yi Zexuan hummed in agreement: "Take me to see him."
The second official hesitated, saying, "Before the young master departed..."
"Never mind those things, just take me there."
