Yuan Jia whispered, “Perhaps His Majesty was too tired that day. He only reminded the imperial physician about this matter, but forgot to order this old servant not to speak out, so strictly speaking, it is not a violation of the order.”
As they chatted, the two finally arrived at Yuchun Palace.
Seeing Yuan Jia and Zong Luo, the palace people guarding Yuchun Palace hurriedly saluted, “Third Highness, Eunuch Yuan.”
“Your Highness, if there’s nothing else, this old servant will leave you here. His Majesty is still waiting for this old servant to return to report.”
Zong Luo nodded, “Thank you, Eunuch Yuan.”
He needed some time to calm his feelings after hearing what Yuan Jia had just said.
The palace person in charge of the miscellaneous items in Yuchun Palace stepped forward, “Your Highness, the hot water in the bath has been prepared.”
“Good.” Zong Luo handed the heater to the palace person, casually took off his outer robe, and walked towards the bath.
People’s hearts were made of flesh, and feelings were also mutual.
In his previous life, Zong Luo also felt the Emperor Yuan’s care and attention towards him. First, he was given his former prince’s mansion, and then the power to independently command troops, all of which were enough to explain.
One should know that these were personal soldiers, and personal soldiers meant that Zong Luo had the final say over the Xuan Cavalry. No emperor could tolerate his subjects having such power, even if they were princes.
He was filial, but not foolishly filial.
If not, he would definitely not go to the point of being granted a sword to commit suicide, and obediently cut his own neck with a sword.
Zong Luo soaked his whole body in the hot water, his expression relaxed.
If what Yuan Jia said was true, why did he send him to the border in his previous life, why did he grant him a sword to commit suicide, even explaining a little more would be fine.
He felt as if he was split into two parts, one part telling him ‘your Father Emperor loves you and values you’, and the other part coldly telling him to think about his ending in his previous life.
Zong Luo didn’t want to accept it, but his reason and emotions were increasingly leaning towards what Yu Beizhou said.
There were really hidden things in his previous life that he didn’t know.
And all of these things have been locked up.
The only key was in the hands of Yu Beizhou.
No wonder after his rebirth, he was so leisurely, occasionally popping out to tease him a few times, he was sure that Zong Luo would eventually return to him after all the twists and turns.
“Yu, Bei, Zhou.”
Zong Luo chewed on this name word by word.
He was not actually afraid to ask Yu Beizhou to clarify everything.
What he feared was seeing Yu Beizhou again, who locked himself in the dark room, covered in blood.
Because no one knew better than Zong Luo himself, on the night of the full moon last time, it was not just one person who lost control.
****
In the Third Prince’s Mansion, Ye Linghan stood in the courtyard, looking in the direction of the palace.
Since the day he saw Zong Luo in the palace, he had never had the chance to go in again.
He was originally a proton from the Wei Country, naturally, he could not casually enter important areas of the Great Yuan Palaces.
Now his injury was almost healed, he should not continue to live in the Third Prince’s Mansion.
However, a few days ago when Ye Linghan planned to move out with his old servant, Steward Liao came specially and said that the Third Prince had ordered that he should live in the mansion with peace of mind and not have to return to the Proton Mansion.
“Third Highness had ordered it a long time ago, just reminding me that if you don’t leave, don’t speak up.”
Steward Liao sighed, “The bag of money on the windowsill that day, it was also put by Young Master Ye, wasn’t it? Young Master really doesn’t have to be like this, the people ordered by the Third Highness, we will naturally look after with all our heart.”
Even this kind of thing was anticipated, that person was always so gentle, taking care of everyone’s insignificant self-esteem.
“Thank you.”
Ye Linghan was silent for a long time, then turned around again and put down the things he had packed in his hands.
After experiencing so much, he had long lost his initial arrogance.
In fact, the Proton Mansion was not livable at all. In order to be able to go back, Ye Linghan sold all the things that could be sold. Now it was not an exaggeration to say that his family was in dire straits. There was not even a quilt for winter. If he insisted on saving face and going back, he might freeze to death in this winter. (TL: His family here meant him or himself)
And he already owed Zong Luo more than he could repay.
Coincidentally, Zong Ruichen came over with a bunch of things, took a look, didn’t greet him, and directly flashed back into his bedroom.
Today was the New Year’s Day, he just went out, and ran into the Fourth Imperial Brother again.
The Fourth Imperial Brother took him along, buying all the way, and gave him a lot of gifts, saying that it was for the debts of these years.
After entering the palace last time, Zong Ruichen told Zong Luo about the last time he met Zong Chengsi.
Zong Luo didn’t say anything else, just let Zong Ruichen stay away from him.
Zong Luo thought that he still needed to hook Zong Chengsi so he said, “You don’t need to deliberately stay away, if he wants to give you something, just accept it.”
So Zong Ruichen didn’t refuse, and followed Zong Chengsi all the way to get things for free.
