Chapter 426: My Life and His Life

"The Crown Prince has arrived," Eunuch Jin informed the Emperor, who swiftly stood up from the chaise and went to the Fu Imperial Gates, followed by Eunuch Jin. The Empress and the other Consorts also joined them. Rong Zemin looked around and did not find Nianzu there. 

"Brother Jian, where is Brother Nianzu?" Rong Zemin queried.

"He might be coming," replied Jian Guozhi and saw the horses coming. A smile appeared on his lips, and he walked ahead. Rong Zemin, on the other hand, kept searching for the Fourth Prince. He found Eunuch Chung and went to him. 

"Where is Brother Nianzu, Eunuch Jin? Since yesterday I have not seen him. Is he still asking for forgiveness?" Rong Zemin asked a few questions. 

"No, your highness. The Prince left early in the evening last day and has not returned to the Palace since then," Eunuch Chung informed Rong Zemin.
