Ningmen Prefecture dock.

Xiao Yeyang and Daohua had just disembarked when they saw several solemn-looking middle-aged men dressed as commoners approaching them.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang subconsciously furrowed his brows.

“Master!”

The men greeted Xiao Yeyang respectfully.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, who looked somewhat worried, smiled to signal that there was nothing to worry about, and then walked aside with the men before asking in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”

One of them replied in a hushed tone, “Master, Prince Rui has just sent a message. The Emperor left the palace a few days ago and might have come to Zhongzhou. Master must be careful. If you see the Emperor, you must ensure his safe return to the capital.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang’s expression changed dramatically, “What is the royal uncle doing leaving the palace without any apparent reason?”

The hidden guard shook his head.

Xiao Yeyang steadied his fluctuating emotions and pondered for a moment, “Deploy everyone we have to search. If you discover any traces, don’t act recklessly; inform me first.”

“Yes!”

Xiao Yeyang continued, “Also, there are many eyes on me now. In the future, no matter how urgent the matter is, do not openly appear to meet me. Send a message through the Glass Factory, have them stir up some trouble to divert the attention of those watching me.”

The fact that the royal uncle has left the capital must not be known to anyone.

“I’ll see to it immediately.”

Watching the hidden guard hurry away, Xiao Yeyang composed himself, put on a smile, and turned to Daohua, “I had intended to have lunch with you, but I’m afraid that won’t be possible now. There’s something I need to deal with.”

Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang. She knew him all too well and could see that he was forcing a smile, “Go take care of your things. Eating at home is the same for me.”

Xiao Yeyang nodded with a smile, “Then you should get on the carriage quickly. I’ll leave after you do.”

Daohua gave him another look, then headed toward the carriage. After a few steps, she turned around, “Xiao Yeyang, if you run into any trouble, you can talk to me about it. I might not be able to do much, but I can help you think it through.”

Xiao Yeyang’s lips curved into a small smile, “Alright.”

Daohua, “…Then I’m leaving.”

Watching the Yan Family carriage depart, Xiao Yeyang gazed after it for a while before mounting his horse and galloping toward the Glass Factory.

…

Inside the carriage, Daohua frowned, her mind preoccupied with what could have happened to Xiao Yeyang. She suddenly realized that if he were in real trouble, she wouldn’t be able to help at all.

“Is this the disparity?”

Daohua felt somewhat disheartened, somewhat discouraged.

Xiao Yeyang was the son of a prince, while she, she was just the daughter of a magistrate.

Over the years, Xiao Yeyang had often visited the Yan Residence, which made her believe they were from the same world. But in reality, they were from different strata, different circles.

Now, as Xiao Yeyang was at an age of burgeoning youth and had affection for her, he was willing to stoop to indulge her.

But anyone who stoops for too long will grow tired.

“Ah…”

Daohua sighed, then closed her eyes and emptied her mind, refusing to think about these vexing issues.
