C368 The princess ran away

Morong Gan brought Ning Jiu and left the palace. From afar, they saw Hao Pingguan standing under a large tree that had all the leaves on it, and looking forward to the entrance of the palace.

His heart tightened and he quickened his pace. Something big must have happened for Hao Pingguan to come here personally.

Hao Pingguan also saw him, and ran over quickly while holding up her robe. She landed right in front of him with a sullen face, "My prince, the princess has run away!"

Morong Gan stood there in a daze. He had always thought that the Emperor trapped him in the palace in order to make a move against Huangfu Zhuer.

He grabbed Hao Pingguan, "What's going on?"

Hao Pingguan then repeated what Yu De Gui had said that day, his mouth saying it, his hands at his sides slightly trembling.

Morong Gan slowly let go of his hand, and absentmindedly looked at the long street in the distance, "Are you sure she walked out on his own?"

"Yes, I've taken the clothes along with the two maidservants."

She took her luggage with her maidservant. It seemed like she wasn't here on a whim. She had already made her plans. Perhaps Hou had already thought about it when they left the mansion, but unfortunately, he didn't see anything at that time. If he had seen anything, he definitely wouldn't have let her leave. In this love, whoever loves more will be seriously hurt, and there is no doubt that the one who is seriously hurt is him. She patted her butt and left, but he fell into the eighteenth floor, never to be seen again.

Ning Jiu brought his horse over, "My prince, I will take a look at the manor."

Ning Jiu sighed, "Forget it, this subordinate will send you back to your residence first."

However, Morong Gan rode his own horse. With a twist of his horse's head, he spurred his whip and galloped off, Ning Jiu quickly followed along the horse, sprinting all the way, but not in the direction of the manor.

Even though the wind was strong, it still managed to catch up with Morong Gan. Still, they were separated by a distance as Jia Tong shouted, "Xiao Jiu'er, where is Your Highness going?"

Ning Jiu did not care about him at all, staring straight at the figure who was rushing ahead, afraid that if he moved, Morong Gan would disappear from his sight.

He should be the person who understood Morong Gan the most in this world. Be it in a battle or a coup, the Prince Chu was always the same, with no changes in his expression before the collapse of Mount Tai. Only Bai Qianfan was his weakness, but when it involved her, the calm Prince Chu seemed to have become a completely different person.

The mountain road was rugged, winding upwards. The green color that was almost gone was still present in the forest. The dense foliage covered the figure in front of him. Although he was blocking their view, he did not lose sight of them. The surroundings were very quiet, and one could hear the rustling sounds of the horse's hooves on the withered leaves.

Ning Jiu slowly stopped, he knew what kind of place this was. He had been here as a supervisor before, so he felt a little helpless talking about it.

Just as he tied the horse to a tree, Jia Tong arrived. His hair was a bit messy, and tiny branches hung from his robes.

Seeing Ning Jiu standing there, he was shocked. Then, his face changed. "Your highness didn't come here to do something stupid, right?"

Ning Jiu said snappily, "You're the one who wants to do something stupid."

"Then what should we do? We can't just stand here and wait. We have to find them. "

"There's no need to look, the prince is right in front."

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go, "Jia Tong said as he started to walk, but was stopped by Ning Jiu." Don't go. "

"Why?"

Ning Jiu rolled his eyes at him, "Your highness is not in a good mood, let him stay for a while."

Jia Tong stood there patiently for a while, he was confused in his heart. He did not understand why the Duke would come all the way here.

"If I don't go, I'll take a peek."

Seeing that Ning Jiu did not object, he took a few steps forward, pulled open the branch, and stretched his neck forward.

Ahead was an open field, with a grave in the middle. The cemetery was large and imposing, and the black stone tomb stood tall, painted in clay gold, so far away that the words could not be seen. Morong Gan stood in front of the grave like a wooden stake, his head lowered without moving an inch.

He became even more confused as he turned to ask Ning Jiu, "Whose tomb is that? Why would the king come here?"

"Don't ask too many questions about the prince."

Jia Tong didn't mind even if he hit a nail on the head. He sighed and said, "It looks like the prince still has an imperial concubine in her heart. Since that's the case, why did he have to let her go? Wouldn't it be better for Miss Huangfu to go to the Manor? "

It was really difficult to talk to such an ignorant person. Ning Jiu looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.

Jia Tong didn't like him using that kind of expression to look at his, so he was a little angry, "Don't look at me like that, am I wrong? The prince clearly likes his wife in his heart as well. If he didn't feel guilty towards Miss Huangfu, he wouldn't have sent her away. But why would he feel wronged? "

Morong Gan quietly looked at the fruits and burnt paper money, he guessed right, Bai Qianfan would definitely come here to bid farewell to her wet nurse before she left. She had guessed it, but her heart was heavy now. She had come here to say goodbye, which meant that she would not come back, or would not come back for a while.

He squatted down and used a fire piston to reignite the unburnt paper money. Orange flames sprung up and quickly swallowed the paper money, turning it into black ashes that were scattered by the wind in all directions.

He couldn't care less about the mess on the ground as he sat down on his butt and used his hand to stroke his forehead. Without making a sound, he smiled first, "You must think I'm stupid, so you let her go. It was I who had let her down and made her sad. She was a simple person and probably didn't like me having all this mess around, so she decided to just leave. She was happy to go, but she left me behind. In her eyes, perhaps I am a stone-hearted person, or perhaps I am ungrateful, but she does not know that for her … "

He covered his face with his hands and did not say anything for a long time. After a long while, he pinched the center of his brows, "I've heard her talk about you before, you are a person with great wisdom, you will definitely understand me. I have no place to talk about the bitterness in my heart. "Don't worry, she's gone. I'm still here. I'll pay my respects to you during the new year and burn paper money for you. As for her …" He looked into the distance and chuckled. "She better not be caught by me, or else …"

Of course he would catch her. No matter if she fled to the ends of the earth or the corners of the sea, he would catch her and bring her back. Was the dignified Princess Chu trying to escape to the ends of the earth to throw his face?

If I catch her... He clenched his fist and fiercely bit down on the back of his teeth. He definitely wouldn't let her off so easily!
