This matter spread quickly. The emperor did not seriously kill their family, but it was better to die than death. More than 100 members of the family were exiled to the wasteland, and it was feared that it would be difficult to return to the capital in the future.
Mr. Shi, on the other hand, has been kept in prison with a small life left to be tortured every day.
Everyone in the capital said that Lord Tarshish had had everything going smoothly for most of his life, but now his luck was gone and he was plagued by bad luck, and he deserved it.
Du Wanchun was walking through the crowd wearing men's clothes and heard them talking about this matter.
A smile appeared in her eyebrows, and she quickened her pace to reach the ruined temple.
Zhou Ruiyuan strode to welcome her in, looked around, and immediately closed the door when he saw no one. ?.?????.???
"Why are you here?" He asked her quickly.
Du Wanchun smiled slowly and said: "I'm worried that you don't have enough food here, so I sent some more."
After saying that, he put down the food box in his hand and took out the dishes inside.
Zhou Ruiyuan looked at his wife distressedly, "You can just send someone here next time for this kind of thing."
After Du Wanchun placed the dishes, he looked up at him and said, "I don't worry about the others. It's best for me to do it myself."
Zhou Ruiyuan held her hand and asked her to sit well, "I will be able to go home in a few days. How are Xiao Mianmian and Feifei?"
"Except for thinking about dad every day, everything is fine." Du Wanchun replied with a smile, then lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Is the matter resolved?"
Zhou Ruiyuan smiled and replied: "It's enough to deal with one Shi family."
Du Wanchun smiled and nodded.
After the two had dinner together, early the next morning, the guards sent by the emperor to look for the prince found Zhou Ruiyuan on an official road outside the capital.
Zhou Ruiyuan took the pills Du Wanchun gave him and fell to the ground unconscious with a pale face. No one expected that he hid by himself.
The emperor was overjoyed when he learned about this. He immediately sent someone to take Zhou Ruiyuan back to the palace and sent the best imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him.
The imperial doctor checked Zhou Ruiyuan's pulse but found no clues. He said that His Highness the Crown Prince had suffered a lot these days and was a little weak.
The emperor felt heartbroken when he looked at Zhou Ruiyuan on the sick bed.
Zhou Ruiyuan did not continue to disguise himself these days, and his appearance was his original appearance. However, compared with the teenage boy in the past, his current temperament had changed a lot, which made the emperor very emotional.
He held Zhou Ruiyuan's hand and said in a dumb voice: "Your Majesty, you have suffered a lot these years. Don't worry, I will treat you well in the future."
Zhou Ruiyuan closed his eyes and was still unconscious, and didn't hear his words at all.
The emperor looked at him for a long time, then turned and ordered to the eunuch: "Go and tell the world that Zhou Ruiyuan, the shopkeeper of the Zhou family, is my eldest son and the prince who has been missing for many years. Shopkeeper Du of the Zhou family is the crown prince, and Zhou Feng is the missing second prince. "
"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch leaned over and responded.
The emperor continued: "The second prince will continue to live in the prince's mansion that I rewarded him for the time being. As for the crown princess and the emperor's grandson, you should send someone to bring them into the palace immediately! Don't neglect it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." A trace of surprise flashed in the eunuch's eyes, and then he left the palace.
Not long after the eunuch left, the emperor's secret guard came over and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Master Shi really did not kidnap the prince."
The emperor nodded slightly, "It seems that there is someone else. They were frightened when they saw me killing the Shi family, so they secretly released the prince back."
The secret guard asked: "Who could it be?"
The emperor's eyes turned cold, "No matter who it is, he must die."
The secret guard held his sword and bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor turned sideways and looked at Zhou Ruiyuan's face, his expression becoming complicated.
Perhaps it had something to do with his temperament. The so-called reunion of father and son after a long absence did not last long.
Seeing that Zhou Ruiyuan was okay, he quickly calmed down, turned around and left his palace.
Outside the palace, Du Wanchun had packed all her things at home before the emperor sent someone to take her into the palace.
She gave Hai Qingyang a simple disguise and took him and Mr. Yuan with her.
Xiao Mianmian, wearing a goose-yellow skirt, came over and held Du Wanchun's hand, "Mother, where are we going?"
Du Wanchun bent down and held her hand, smiling: "Go home."
