110 Injured During His Mission (1/2)
Prince Lu Wei sat beside the window, having his tea when a small bird landed beside him. When he saw the rolled paper tied to the little bird, the Prince picked up the tiny bird and untied the paper. He fed the small bird with some seeds before he released the bird.
Then he unrolled the letter unhurriedly. However, his gaze started to grow cold as he continued to read its contents.
This time, his men had sent him news that his father, the Emperor of Qian Rong, had passed away. The Crown Prince has ascended the throne. Prince Lu Wei was advised not to return to Qian Rong, or the Crown Prince will not let him leave.
It hasn't been long from the last time Prince Lu Wei received a letter. Looking at the time, the Emperor must have passed for at least two days. Not long after, the Emperor of Da Cheng will surely be notified of this news.
As a filial son to the Emperor, Prince Lu Wei should return to Qian Rong. However, Prince Lu Wei knew that he would be dead before he could reach his country.
Prince Lu Wei threw the paper on the brazier and watched as the paper burned slowly into ashes.
When he left Qian Rong, the Emperor was in good health. In just a few months, the Emperor's health has deteriorated, and now he has passed away. He was not stupid to figure out that the Crown Prince must have done something to their father.
The Crown Prince was heartless enough to murder the Emperor to secure his position and power. He will surely not let his half brother live to threaten everything he gained.
It looked like returning to Qian Rong will be impossible for Prince Lu Wei. Once he was completely healed, he will have no choice but to leave Da Cheng. Will he have to live as a wanderer for the rest of his life?
After meeting with the Crown Princess, Jiang Xiao Tian headed to his grandfather's place. He needed to inform his grandfather that Princess Lingchen now knew the story of Shadow Grass.
However, just as he was about to enter his grandfather's house, Jiang Xiao Tian bumped into Han Zhenting and his assistance.
”Xiao Tian, why are you here?” Han Zhenting asked.
”Grandfather,” Jiang Xiao Tian greeted politely. ”I have something to discuss with you.” Jiang Xiao Tian paused as he glanced at the small bag in Han Zhenting's hand and frowned. ”You're heading out?”
