Yun Chen was imprisoned for nearly a year. When he finally saw Yun Zishu again, he realized how important freedom and light were.
The arrogance and domineering attitude of the past were completely gone. When he saw Sicang and Yun Zishu, he was even cautious and did not dare to speak, for fear of being put under house arrest again.
"Don't be nervous." Yun Zishu seemed to be comforting a frightened child, "You have been in Dongyou for a long enough time. We plan to send you back."
Yun Chen seemed to have heard something wrong and looked at Yun Zishu blankly: "What did you say?"
"I said I would send you back to Dayong." Yun Zishu repeated, "Don't you want to go back?"
I do, of course I do.
It took Yun Chen a while to realize that Yun Zishu was not planning to continue putting him under house arrest? Why?
Why did she suddenly change her mind? Could it be that Dayong forced them to ask for someone?
Yun Chen guessed in his heart that there was no way Yun Zishu, a heartless person, would take the initiative to let him go back. His father must have sent someone to negotiate with him, but it was also true that he, the majestic Crown Prince of Yong, had been away from his country for so long.
If he doesn't go back, it's impossible for his father to remain indifferent, and it's impossible for the ministers to watch him trapped in Dongyou.
Otherwise, where would Dayong’s face be?
"Go back and pack up. We will set off in two days." Yun Zishu waved her hand, "But come here to say goodbye. Someone will take you out of the palace to meet Feng Ci."
Yun Chen was about to turn around and leave when he was stunned when he heard this: "Feng Ci?"
"Yes, the person who escorted you and the envoy back is Feng Ci." Yun Zishu smiled lightly, "Do you think there is a problem?"
Yun Chen frowned, how long has it been since he saw Feng Ci?
More than a year.
He came to Dongyou years ago, and now it is August. Except for Feng Ci, he has never seen King Jing.
Yun Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Yun Zishu: "Prince Jing will go back too?"
"No."
"Why?"
"You don't need to know why."
Yun Chen's heart sank. No matter how stupid and slow he was, he realized at this moment that Yun Zishu must have some ulterior motive.
From the moment she ordered him to write that letter... no, from the moment she told him that Prince Jing was his father's favorite candidate for crown prince, she had ulterior motives and bad intentions.
Feng Ci sent him back, but King Jing was nowhere to be seen... Yun Chen and King Jing were rivals, but he still wanted to know where King Jing had gone? Was he imprisoned in Guanyi, or... was he quietly eliminated by Yun Zishu?
?
Yun Zishu ignored his inner thoughts and only said calmly: "Go back and prepare."
Yun Chen was dissatisfied because Yun Zishu was increasingly using a commanding tone when speaking to him, as if he was her minister.
However, Yun Chen has now become a frightened bird. All the domineering courage that he overestimated his own capabilities has been worn away by nearly a year of house arrest. No matter how dissatisfied he is with Yun Zishu, he is afraid that Feng Ci sending him back is just a conspiracy.
At this moment, he did not dare to question him, and he was not willing to stay in Dongyou any longer.
Besides, Feng Ci shouldn't dare to do anything to him, right?
Yun Chen snorted in his heart. It was his father's order for Feng Shoufu to lead the troops to escort him to the border. Feng Ci was Feng Shoufu's son. It was impossible for him to have treacherous thoughts.
If he can win over Feng Ci along the way and let the Feng family stand here in the future, he can offset the lack of power behind him after the collapse of the Xiao family, and can also compete with the Gu family behind King Jing...
Not sure whether it was to convince himself, or whether he really thought that such a wishful thinking could become a reality as he wished, Yun Chen thought with peace of mind, returned to the East Palace to summon several envoys, and quickly told them about returning to Dayong.
When the envoys heard this, they were overjoyed: "Emperor Dongyou and the Queen have really agreed to let us go back?"
"Really." Yun Chen nodded, "We will set off in two days."
"That's great!"
They thought they would be trapped and die in Dongyou, but they didn't expect it to be so fast...well, not too fast.
It should be said that they did not expect that one day they would have the opportunity to go home and see their families in their lifetime.
The gloomy mood of the envoys who had been under house arrest for many days was suddenly gone. They didn't even want to think about whether there was any reason for this, or what made Emperor Dongyou change her mind. They didn't even want to question whether there was a conspiracy.
.
They only know that having the chance to go back is a hope. If they continue to be trapped in Dongyou, they will only be left with despair.
So the return trip went very smoothly without any further setbacks. Two days later, Yun Chen and the envoys came to say goodbye. In the main hall, they met Feng Ci, the direct grandson of the Feng family whom they had not seen for a long time.
When he first saw him, Yun Chen felt that Feng Ci was a little different from before. His military uniform had lost its former gentleness and elegance, and now it had the sharpness of a military officer who had experienced military training in the military camp.
In front of the emperor and ministers of Dongyou, Yun Chen could not bear to ask. It was not until the group of people walked towards the palace gate under the escort of the imperial guards that Yun Chen calmly said: "Feng Ci, where have you been these days?"
"Went to the military camp."
"Going to the military camp?" Yun Chen frowned, "What are you going to do in the military camp?"
"Of course I go to the military camp for training."
Yun Chen felt displeased when he heard his calm tone. He was feeling aggrieved by being under house arrest in the Dongyou Palace these days, and now there was a hint of an explosion: "Feng Ci, what's your tone?"
Feng Ci was silent for a moment and smiled faintly, "Has His Highness the Crown Prince suffered too many grievances and can't wait to find someone to vent his anger on?"
Yun Chen's face turned pale: "You——"
"I think His Highness the Crown Prince should be patient." Feng Ci kindly gave him advice, "Because we may have to travel for many days from Dongyou to Dayong, and unpleasant things may happen every day. If
The prince can't help but get angry now, and I'm afraid it will be very painful in the future."
"What do you mean?" Yun Chen heard the threat in his tone, "Feng Ci, don't forget your identity! Are you threatening me?"
"If His Highness the Crown Prince thinks it is a threat, then it is a threat." Feng Ci did not want to continue the verbal dispute with him, "But I still want to advise the Crown Prince. If you have any temper, it will not be too late to wait until you return to Dayong. This time I will
The attendants I have brought have just returned from the military camp, and they are all young men with strong blood. After more than 400 days of continuous training, they are just about to try their skills."
Yun Chen was shocked. He just came back from the military camp?
More than 400 days of training?
He heard something unusual from these words. Although the attendants Feng Ci selected when escorting Zi Shu to her wedding in the spring of last year were all young people, he still felt that what Feng Ci said was not quite right.
.
Yun Zishu sent Feng Ci and the guards who escorted her to Dongyou to the military camp for training?
Did Feng Ci and these guards know that King Jing was imprisoned?
