Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

When they arrived at Jingxuzi's Songzhu Hall, Yuebai kowtowed respectfully.

"Master, your disciple is going down the mountain." Yuebai's eyes were red and his voice was a little hoarse.

Under Wangchen's gaze, Jingxuzi helped Yuebai up and said only, "Go."

"Master, I will go down the mountain with my junior sister." If you pay attention, you can notice that Wang Chen's tone at this time shows no respect for Jingxuzi. However, Yuebai is a little uneasy at the moment, so he didn't hear the difference from usual.

Jingxuzi didn't care and nodded, he understood the matter. He still sat on his bunk bed as still as a mountain until the two people left. It seemed that nothing could affect his mood.

When Wangchen received the news, he had already prepared the carriage, so Yuebai could set off immediately after going down the mountain.

In the car, Yuebai did not eat some snacks to pass the time as usual, and even did not take the candied fruit handed to her by Wangchen. She just lowered her head and leaned against the window and cried. Wangchen was also in great pain. If he had come back earlier, perhaps he could have saved Master Lin.

Yuebai knew that her brother had gone back, but she still expressed her grief over the death of a loved one very realistically, and part of the reason was that she would need to hide from the heavens in this world from now on.

While thinking, he accidentally saw the purse on Wangchen's waist. It was very shabby and did not match Wangchen at all. Wangchen noticed Yuebai's gaze, followed her line of sight, and found that Yuebai was staring at his purse.

"Junior sister, do you think this purse looks familiar?" There was a hint of anticipation in Wang Chen's tone.

"I don't think so. Besides, this purse of yours is already very worn out. It's impossible to tell what the original pattern was embroidered on it." Yuebai didn't care and said in a flat tone.

Wang Chen became visibly discouraged.

"This is the purse that was stolen from you when I saved you for the first time. You were about seven or eight years old at that time, and it was also my first time going down the mountain." Wang Chen stroked the purse and said, "I originally thought that I would return the purse to you the next time I saw you, but I was still young at that time and couldn't go down the mountain often. I kept thinking about this incident and you, and before I knew it, I was looking forward to going down the mountain to see you."

Realizing that Wang Chen was about to continue, Yue Bai interrupted him: "But Senior Brother, I was still young at that time and I don't remember what kind of purse I lost, and you don't have to remember it for so many years."

"Junior sister..." Wang Chen wanted to continue speaking, but he felt that it was not appropriate to talk about these private affairs at this time, so he stopped talking. "This time when you go back to attend the funeral, maybe you can stay at home for a while. I will tell Master later."

"Thank you, senior brother."

There was only silence in the carriage.

On the other hand, after hearing that Yuebai already knew the news of Lin Yuehua's death, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was anxiously running around in the East Palace.

"Get out of my way!" Chu Ji kicked over two palace servants who were blocking his way, "Let me go see my father!"

"My highness! Please stop making trouble! His Majesty is not seeing anyone right now. He has been out of court for three days." Xiao Fuzi tried to persuade Chu Ji, "Miss Yuebai hasn't come back yet, please don't worry."

Ever since the death of the Grand Tutor, Emperor Xuan has locked himself in his bedroom and refused to go out. All official documents and memorials are handled by Chu Ji.

"I have been reviewing memorials for three days. I want to see the emperor!"

Perhaps they heard Chu Ji's prayers, a group of eunuchs came from a distance, led by none other than the chief steward of Emperor Xuan. The sharp-eyed Xiao Fuzi saw them at a glance.

He quickly said to Chu Ji: "Your Highness, who is here?"

Chu Ji looked in the direction he pointed and saw that it was indeed the chief eunuch beside Emperor Xuan. As he was speaking, the eunuch had already arrived at the gate of the East Palace.

"Your Majesty's order! Your Highness, please kneel and listen."

Chu Ji led everyone in the East Palace to kneel on the ground.

"I am deeply saddened by the passing of the Grand Tutor. I have ordered the Crown Prince to go to the Grand Tutor's residence to pay his respects. I am ill in the palace, and the Crown Prince will be the regent from today on."

Chu Ji didn't have time to rejoice in his heart when he heard the first half, but when he heard that the prince was regent, he wanted to jump up and interrupt. Fortunately, Xiao Fuzi beside him held him down.

"Thank you for your trouble, butler. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already heard about it." Xiao Fuzi immediately stepped forward after the butler finished reading, escorted the butler out like a lackey, and stuffed a purse of silver into his hand, "Leave these for your tea."

After seeing off the steward, Xiao Fuzi returned to the East Palace and saw Chu Ji lying on the couch with his arms and legs spread out, like a dead fish hanging in the imperial garden.

"Your Highness, think positively. Now we can leave the palace, right? At least we have gained something."

Chu Ji rolled his eyes when he heard this. Seeing that he had taken it in, Xiao Fuzi thought there was a chance and continued to persuade him, "Instead of being miserable here, why don't you do it well and leave the palace? Don't you agree?"

"I know that too. It's just that I think father is too emotional." In fact, he also knew the complicated feelings his father had towards the Grand Tutor. He had heard a lot of rumors in the palace over the years, and he actually had complicated feelings towards Grand Tutor Chu Ji.

When he was a child, the Taifu was both a teacher and a father to him. He was not valued by his father in the past. Even though he was the crown prince, he was bullied by the servants below. It was not until he entered the Imperial Academy and was taught by the Taifu that the Taifu satisfied his expectations of a father until his real father appeared.

In the past, Chu Ji didn’t know why his father ignored him, why his father was still indifferent to him even though he was the legitimate son of the Empress and the only prince in the palace, until later he slowly fell in love with Yue Bai... until he saw that the way his father looked at the Tutor was exactly the same as the way he looked at Yue Bai.

At first he thought it was absurd, but then it all seemed to make sense. He later found out about the past between his mother and the Imperial Tutor. When he was a child, he once asked the Imperial Tutor why he was so kind to him. The Imperial Tutor touched his head and replied, "You look like an old friend of mine." Was the Imperial Tutor referring to his father or his mother? He didn't dare to think too much.

He was afraid that his father would really do something to the tutor, because when a person stays in a high position for a long time, he will always unconsciously feel that everything should belong to him. He often wondered, if the problems he worried about every day came true, how would he face Yue Bai? Fortunately, his father did not do anything to the tutor for some reason... until the tutor really passed away, and his father's behavior might be because the tutor was really important to him.

"Your Highness! There's news! Miss Lin is on her way back!" A voice interrupted Chu Ji's thoughts.

Xiao Fuzi immediately shouted, "Hurry up and prepare the car to leave the palace."

Chu Ji quickly grabbed Xiao Fuzi and said anxiously, "What carriage? Prepare a horse for me! Quickly find me some plain clothes to change into."

I hope that in a few days no censor will impeach the prince for riding a horse in the street.
