The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Whenever she thought of this, she felt sad and wanted to cry, as if she saw her tragic fate and lonely future.

When she married Cheng Youning, she couldn't count how many times she cried in self-pity and agony. This marriage of hers not only did not bring her infinite yearning, but instead made her meet her miserable future early. Even until Cheng Youning was canonized as the crown prince without any warning, she still could not escape her miserable fate in the future.

But when he learned that the whole city was looking for the prince, Hong Jiutong still tightened his heart and prayed silently in his heart that the prince would be found soon, and would not get into trouble again and again, and would not encounter any accidents.

Those who were secretly concerned about Cheng Youning's safety had no idea that Cheng Youning was sleeping soundly in the inn at this moment. He slept from the dazzling afternoon to sunset, and from sunset to nightfall. He bid farewell to the long night and welcomed noon. He was like a little lazy pig, with his butt sticking out and holding the pillow, indulging in his sweet dream.

Suddenly, he moved his nose, smacked his lips twice, and muttered with his eyes closed, "Qiao Rong, did you buy some roast chicken?"

Qiao Rong slowly woke up after hearing the sound. He moved his thigh, which was crushed by Cheng Youning and felt like it was broken, and said, "Your Highness, I haven't woken up yet. Where is the roast chicken..."

Before he finished speaking, the hungry Qiao Rong also moved his nose, "Your Highness, it seems that there really is roast chicken!"

In an instant, the master and servant jumped up from the bed. The real fragrance that could not be ignored made them realize that someone had entered the room.

Cheng Youning kicked the man leaning against the bedside. The man moved from the headboard to the foot of the bed in the blink of an eye, as light as a swallow. He leaned back lazily and uttered a word of admonition: "You are really treasonous. You even hit your master."

Cheng Youning took a closer look and was so excited that he shouted, "Master, why are you here?"

The follower's dead eyes looked at his dancing disciple without any emotion, "If I hadn't come, you would have gone to Bian Jing."

Cheng Youning's eyes sparkled after a good sleep. He was pleasantly surprised, not knowing the real purpose of his master's trip. "Master, how did you know I was going to Bianjing?"

"From your path and the way you rushed as if you were running for your life, no one could fail to guess what you were thinking."

"Master, you came at the right time. We can go to Bianjing together."

"Hehehe... Do you think Master is here to escort you to Bianjing?"

"if not?"

"I was ordered to take you back."

Cheng Youning swallowed his saliva and said nervously, "Does my grandfather know that I'm going to Bianjing?"

"Oh, do you think this is a secret? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."

Cheng Youning moved closer to the attendant and asked guiltily, "Master, did my grandfather say anything before you came?"

"What do you want to know?"

"Master, did my grandfather tell me what he would do to me when he returned?"

"I didn't mention that, but your disappearance caused a huge uproar in the Imperial City. Everyone in the Imperial City is looking for you."

"Do you all know that I'm going to Bianjing?"

"That's not there."

Cheng Youning said dejectedly, "That's good." In fact, he didn't know what was good about it. He only knew that all his plans had gone down the drain. He had been planning secretly for more than half a month, but he still couldn't get out of the clutches of his grandfather. His youthful and unruly ambition was also deflated at this time.

Cheng Youning pouted and lay down on the bed, feeling disappointed and aggrieved.

The attendant flicked Cheng Youning's head and scolded him, "I bought you some roasted geese. Eat them so we can continue our journey."

Cheng Youning turned over and climbed up again. He said in surprise, "It's roasted goose? Not roasted chicken?"

"See for yourself!"

Qiao Rong, who had already rushed towards the roasted goose on the table, said with a smile, "Your Highness, you finally got the roasted goose you didn't get yesterday."

Cheng Youning's rumbling stomach couldn't wait any longer, so he urged impatiently, "Bring it here quickly, this prince has already missed two meals."

Cheng Youning's taste buds were completely satisfied after eating the roasted wild goose, and he half forgot the unpleasantness he had just felt.

But when they were leaving and returning, Cheng Youning heard the laughter and joyful chatter of the people in the city, who were talking about the unsealing of the city gates.

Cheng Youning frowned and cursed, "What a bad timing! They sealed the city when I wanted to leave. Now I'm about to return home, but the city gates are open. I don't know which official is behind this. Don't let me know who he is, or I'll break his legs and let him mess up my business."

The follower laughed devilishly, "Hahahaha, it seems this revenge is not easy to avenge. It was your grandfather's idea to seal the city gate."

"Is this really my little grandfather's will? Did something really big happen?"

"Hahahaha, how can we stop you if we don't block the city?"

"My grandfather ordered the city to be sealed off just to capture me?" Cheng Youning was shocked and incredulous. "This is really an exaggeration."

The follower walked to the front with a faint smile and said nothing, leaving a pair of dejected children whispering behind.

It was two days later when they returned to the imperial city. Cheng Youning, still on horseback, was still as vigorous as ever. Seeing many children roaming around in his ten-acre field, he tightened the reins and shouted fiercely at the children, "That's my field. What are you doing? Get out here!"

Seeing that the man on horseback was the owner of the field, the seven children hurried out, explaining as they ran, "We didn't damage your field."

"You still dare to quibble? Do you want me to beat you to a pulp before you tell the truth?"

Some children were holding weeds in their hands. He showed them to Cheng Youning, "Look, we are really weeding your fields."

Cheng Youning questioned his words, "We are all amateurs. Why are you helping me pull weeds? You must have ulterior motives. Tell me, or I'll get off my horse and beat you up."

"No, no, your parents are helping us build the village and houses. We want to repay them. We know you are their son, so we are weeding your fields."

Cheng Youning nodded in understanding. "So it's for my parents' sake. Where are they going to build a village and a house?"

"Five miles west."

Cheng Youning looked into the distance and couldn't see where his parents were. "Master, let's go check on my parents first."

"Go back to the palace, your grandfather is waiting for you." The attendant's horse started to gallop.

Cheng Youning had no choice but to nod and follow immediately.
