Prince Lu Wei sat beside the window, having his tea when a small bird landed beside him . When he saw the rolled paper tied to the little bird, the Prince picked up the tiny bird and untied the paper . He fed the small bird with some seeds before he released the bird .
Then he unrolled the letter unhurriedly . However, his gaze started to grow cold as he continued to read its contents .
This time, his men had sent him news that his father, the Emperor of Qian Rong, had passed away . The Crown Prince has ascended the throne . Prince Lu Wei was advised not to return to Qian Rong, or the Crown Prince will not let him leave .
It hasn't been long from the last time Prince Lu Wei received a letter . Looking at the time, the Emperor must have passed for at least two days . Not long after, the Emperor of Da Cheng will surely be notified of this news .
As a filial son to the Emperor, Prince Lu Wei should return to Qian Rong . However, Prince Lu Wei knew that he would be dead before he could reach his country .
Prince Lu Wei threw the paper on the brazier and watched as the paper burned slowly into ashes .
When he left Qian Rong, the Emperor was in good health . In just a few months, the Emperor's health has deteriorated, and now he has passed away . He was not stupid to figure out that the Crown Prince must have done something to their father .
The Crown Prince was heartless enough to murder the Emperor to secure his position and power . He will surely not let his half brother live to threaten everything he gained .
It looked like returning to Qian Rong will be impossible for Prince Lu Wei . Once he was completely healed, he will have no choice but to leave Da Cheng . Will he have to live as a wanderer for the rest of his life?
After meeting with the Crown Princess, Jiang Xiao Tian headed to his grandfather's place . He needed to inform his grandfather that Princess Lingchen now knew the story of Shadow Grass .
However, just as he was about to enter his grandfather's house, Jiang Xiao Tian bumped into Han Zhenting and his assistance .
"Xiao Tian, why are you here?" Han Zhenting asked .
"Grandfather," Jiang Xiao Tian greeted politely . "I have something to discuss with you . " Jiang Xiao Tian paused as he glanced at the small bag in Han Zhenting's hand and frowned . "You're heading out?"
Han Zhenting let out a heavy sigh and said, "I received a letter from Xiao Xian's camp in the outskirt of the city . Yang Yun was injured during his mission, and they are transferring him back to the capital . They wanted me to take a look at him . "
"What?" Jiang Xiao Tian was shocked . It was not as if the army camp was lacking any military physician . For the military to ask Grandfather to take a look at Yang Yun, it must mean that Yang Yun's injury was quite serious . Perhaps, he would require some surgery .
Jiang Xiao Tian quickly recovered and held Han Zhenting's arm . "Grandfather, I will go with you . "
The old physician nodded . "Your Elder Brother has been notified of this incident . He will come back once he settled his matter in the border . Come on . We should hurry . I wanted to arrive before Yang Yun and the others . I need to prepare the treatment room first before the patient arrives . "
Jiang Xiao Tian then followed his grandfather into a carriage . Since Jiang Xiao Tian was around to accompany his grandfather, Han Zhenting's assistant chose to stay and look over the small infirmary .
The trip to the military camp was quiet . Han Zhenting has not stopped worrying over Yang Yun . It was halfway through their journey that Han Zhenting turned to look at his grandson, Xiao Tian .
"Xian Tian," Han Zhenting called . "Why did you come over to see me today?"
It was then that Jiang Xiao Tian recalled his purpose to look for Grandfather . He told Grandfather what Princess Lingchen had told him .
Han Zhenting frowned in silence after Jiang Xiao Tian had finished . "You did the right thing by not telling Lingchen about Mingyue . Knowing her, Lingchen will definitely blame herself for Mingyue's disappearance . " Han Zhenting paused and continued, "You should look for that Prince of Qian Rong and ask him if he knows anything else . We heard stories of people disappearing . Perhaps he would know if there are stories of people returning after they disappear . "
Although Jiang Xiao Tian did not want to harbor too much hope on it, he agreed with his grandfather's suggestion .
Soon, they arrived at the military camp . A few high ranked military personnel came out to greet Han Zhenting . They were then led towards the treatment room . Han Zhenting picked two physicians to assist him and prepared everything he would need .
It was the next morning when the carriage carrying Yang Yun arrived .
