Chenghu and Guo Luomafa boarded the carriage side by side. Chenghu whispered, "Guo Luomafa, can you ask the driver to speed up?"

Gabula responded calmly, "No hurry, Your Highness. Safety is always the top priority."

Cheng Hu looked a little anxious: "Grandson is worried about you and hopes to see you soon."

Gabula nodded slightly and had no choice but to compromise. He then lifted the curtain of the carriage and told the driver to speed up towards the palace.

Inside the carriage, Chenghu was restless and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Gabula asked softly, "Your Highness, where have you been these days?"

Cheng Hu spoke softly, revealing an adventure that even Guo Luomafa, his closest friend, might find unbelievable: "My grandson once crossed the boundaries of time and space and set foot in a future world. It is three years away from where we are now, and the future he arrived in is already twenty years in the future."

Gabula's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He asked softly, "Then how many years had passed in that time and space when you returned?"

Cheng Hu took a deep breath, as if mustering all his courage and determination, before he slowly spoke: "This matter involves many secrets, and I cannot easily reveal them. But please believe that what I say is true. When the time is right, I will tell you everything."

Gabula stared into Chenghu's eyes, seeming to see a certain determination and depth in them. He nodded gently, his heart already understanding: "So that's how it is. Everything my grandson has experienced must be destined."

In a blink of an eye, the palace gate was in sight.

Chenghu lifted the curtain with ease and jumped out of the carriage lightly.

Gabula followed closely behind, stepped out of the car steadily, took out his badge, and showed it to the guard at the gate. The guard examined it for a moment, nodded, and let him pass.

Chenghu stepped into the palace gate, his heart filled with excitement, and ran straight to Kunning Palace.

Seeing that his grandson had gone far away, Gabula had no choice but to go to the Qianqing Palace.

Chenghu arrived at Kunning Palace like a gust of wind, pushed open the palace door without hesitation and stepped in.

Seeing this, Chun Yu's eyes flashed with surprise. Her lips parted slightly as she called out in surprise, "Your Highness?"

Cheng Hu asked anxiously, "It's me, Aunt Chunyu. Where is my mother now?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Chunyu's eyes, and she replied softly, "Your Highness, the Queen is in her bedroom right now. Ever since you disappeared, she has been clutching your clothes and crying every day. The imperial physician has said that her eyes have been damaged by excessive grief."

Cheng Hu whispered softly, "I'm going to the bedroom to visit Mother." Without hesitation, he strode towards the chamber, pushed open the door, and stepped inside. Instantly, he dropped to his knees, crawling to the phoenix couch, his eyes filled with deep affection as he gazed at the person lying on the couch. He called softly, "Mother~" his voice revealing endless longing.

Qingyao raised her head slightly, her gaze gradually focused on the side of the phoenix couch, as if attracted by some sound.

Cheng Hu said softly, "Mother, I am the Tuantuan you've been thinking about so much. I've returned safely."

When Qingyao heard the familiar name "Tuantuan," her gaze was immediately drawn to it. The figure before her, as if having traveled through a time tunnel, finally returned to her sight. "Tuantuan, you're finally back." These simple words held a deep longing and anticipation, as if, in this moment, all the waiting and loneliness had transformed into this heartfelt call.

Cheng Hu said softly, "Mother, don't cry. I have returned safely and will never leave your side again."

Qingyao hugged her son eagerly, tears welling up in her eyes. "Son, where have you been? I've been so worried about you, I can't let go."

Cheng Hu said softly, "I am an unfilial child, causing my mother to worry. I heard what Guo Luomafa said and know that you haven't had a good meal for a long time. I am deeply saddened."

Qianqing Palace

Gabula: "Please inform the eunuch."

Wei Zhu: "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go in and report." He raised his hand and knocked on the door gently, then pushed it open and walked in.

Liang Jiugong walked over and asked in a low voice: "How did you get in?"

Wei Zhu whispered, "Master, Lord Gabula is here and is waiting outside."

Liang Jiugong: "I understand. I will tell His Majesty right away." He turned and walked to the imperial desk: "Your Majesty, Lord Gabula is here and is waiting outside the Qianqing Palace."

Kangxi: "Let him in."

Liang Jiugong personally left the Qianqing Palace and said, "Master Gabula, the Emperor invites you in."

Gabula nodded and followed him into the Qianqing Palace: "Your servant pays respects to His Majesty."

Kangxi: "Stand up. Get up."

Gabula: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been found."

When Kangxi heard that his son had been found, he stood up and asked, "Found him? Where is he?"

Gabula: "The Crown Prince went to Kunning Palace, so I came to Qianqing Palace to inform His Majesty."

Kangxi nodded gently and said, "Father-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

Gabula: "This is what I should do. The prince was born to my daughter, so it is only right that I send someone to look for him."

Emperor Kangxi asked softly, "Father-in-law, how is Chenghu doing?"

Gabula said respectfully, "Your Majesty, rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe and sound."

Kangxi: "That's good."

Gabula: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."

Kangxi nodded: "Liang Jiugong, send the father-in-law out."

Liang Jiugong: "Yes."

Gabula left the Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi stood up and left the Qianqing Palace and went to the Kunning Palace.
