Bab 88: Chapter 88 Chu Heng_1

Eighty li west of Jing City, Jingshan Villa.

Jingshan Villa is a royal retreat named after the famous Jingshan Mountain close by. Boasting numerous natural warm springs and beautiful, peaceful scenery, it is an excellent place for self-cultivation and rejuvenation of the heart.

Since Crown Prince Chu Heng had been frail and susceptible to cold since childhood, the reigning emperor, out of compassion, bestowed Jingshan Villa upon him. Every winter, the Crown Prince would convalesce there, and for the past twenty years without fail, this year was no exception.

In the side hall, Yan Ruyu, dressed in an opulent purple garment, reclined lazily on a soft cushioned seat, leisurely fiddling with his Jade Bone Fan. However, from time to time, his eyes darted to the main door, betraying his agitation and concern.
