Back then, when Imperial Concubine Wan was in a difficult situation to give birth to, it was said that she was already at her limits, yet at the last moment she gave birth to her child. Geng Qing knew about this, or perhaps Imperial Concubine Wan was not wrong, but someone had done something to her? Geng Qing felt that something was off and decided to use this opportunity to investigate.

The Crown Prince had been waiting for the Emperor to change his mind and send him back to the capital. However, when the imperial edict didn't arrive, a secret letter arrived. The letter only had one sentence on it: ”Princess Rui is dying.”

After receiving this news, the crown prince couldn't calm himself for the entire day. He and Rui Wangfei were childhood friends, and both of them had long been in love, but they had been separated. He knew that Rui Wang had not treated her well.

The Crown Prince's greatest comfort was that the two of them could use the opportunity of the court meeting to secretly tell their heart to each other. From the time when he had come to the Southern Wasteland palace, even this thought had been cut off. Right now, Rui Wangfei was very ill, so he didn't know what the situation was.

”prince …” Yan Zhilin looked at Nalan Rongjun walking around the hall, completely at a loss because of a woman, and in his heart, he wished that he had failed.

The crown prince abruptly stopped his steps as an image of Rui Wangfei's exquisite face flashed through his mind. After taking a deep breath, he seemed to have made up his mind. ”I'm going to see her. She's definitely waiting for me!”

Hearing that, Yan Zhilin immediately stood up, with a serious face: ”The situation is not looking good, prince must not be impulsive!”

However, how could Nalan Rongjun still listen to such words. Ever since he moved to the Southern Shrine, although the Emperor had not crippled him, the crown prince, he had been indifferent all day, as if he had completely forgotten about him.

Being transferred to the border of the city now, he would not have a chance to turn the situation around in the future. Nalan Rongjun felt that he had racked his brains, and even his beloved woman could not stay by his side.

Right now, he had nothing. He only wanted to rush to her side, out of the stars and out of the moon. He wanted to be able to give her some comfort when she was at her weakest. Could it be that he couldn't even do this?

”prince, I don't know who sent this secret letter. It might be a trap.” Yan Zhilin was cautious. There were very few people who knew of the relationship between the crown prince and Rui Wangfei. Just who would report such an ambiguous situation to the crown prince?

Right now, all of the powers in Profound Leaf City were eyeing this place covetously. Although the Southern Wasteland palace was far away, it was a good place to hide and hide. If the Crown Prince left now, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Nalan Jun pondered for a moment and said, ”I cannot bet that her body already had problems the last time I saw her. If I don't go back now, I'm afraid …”

He was a cruel and merciless person, but he really liked that woman. He couldn't give her a name or position, so he didn't want to leave her with any regrets!

”prince, you must think twice. If this was really King Rui's plan, all of our preparations would have been in vain!” Yan Zhilin sincerely said.

However, Nalan Jun insisted, ”You can make the arrangements over here. I'll go and come back quickly.”

Yan Zhilin could not stop him and could only allow the Crown Prince to lead a few capable followers on the journey to Profound Leaf City. The Crown Prince had wanted to travel day and night, but he could not and the horse could not.

The only thing he could do was to sleep in the forest and start a fire to keep warm. Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound coming from the depths of the forest, and an ominous premonition struck his mind.
