The experience of riding a horse for a long distance was very fresh to the Third Prince at first, but after a long time, even with special pads on his buttocks, he still felt that some parts of his body were rubbed and painful. Moreover, compared with those who were skilled in riding, he had to concentrate on controlling his mount, otherwise, even if Ah Liu could rescue him in time, he would be exposed early.
Therefore, the young prince gritted his teeth and endured it, even if there was no rest in the middle, he did not say a word. Even so, Ah Liu on the side was still on guard, ready to help at any time, but until they finally arrived at the small Baijia Village, he never found a chance, and the third prince endured it all the way.
When he jumped off his horse, he found that the Third Prince had difficulty in moving after reining in his horse, so he stepped forward to help without saying a word. When he reached out and gently helped the man to the ground, he saw that the man was gritting his teeth and limping after taking two steps, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"Don't be so stubborn. Take the carriage on the way back."
The Third Prince wanted to refuse, but then his eyes widened and he instinctively asked in a low voice: "Where did the carriage come from?"
Seeing several servants of the Duke of Zhao looking over here with surprise or curiosity, Ah Liu did not answer, but reached out and gently patted the Third Prince's shoulder as if to comfort him. Seeing his intimate behavior, others naturally thought that Ah Liu knew or had a relationship with the young eunuch from the palace, and quickly withdrew their observations.
When the Third Prince found that no one was paying attention to him anymore, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. When Ah Liu had assigned people to guard outside the village and led him into the village, and when he was completely out of sight of those people, he couldn't help but ask, "Sixth Brother, aren't you worried that I'll leave the palace without permission and cause trouble for the teacher?"
Ah Liu paused for a moment, then said without turning back: "After the eldest lady told me, I rushed to the public school and brought a message to the young master." Although there were only three words written on it, the young master should... understand it, right
Hearing that Ah Liu had informed Zhang Shou, the Third Prince was not angry, but instead breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "Although I was afraid that my father would blame the teacher and that the teacher would stop me, so I didn't inform him in advance, but if he really didn't know anything, I might still be criticized by my father later... Sixth brother, thank you for sending me here today."
"You should thank the young lady." Ah Liu answered seriously. When he heard the Crown Prince behind him suddenly become speechless, he added calmly, "If the young lady hadn't told me until today and repeatedly begged me sincerely, I wouldn't have agreed."
The Third Prince thought about Ah Liu's position and knew that these words were from the bottom of his heart, not to please him. But the more he thought about it, the calmer he felt. The feeling of being suffocated in the deep palace since he was appointed as the Crown Prince was replaced by an indescribable comfort. Therefore, when he saw a familiar figure from a distance, he couldn't help but shout out: "Fourth brother!"
Cotton-padded jacket, cotton-padded trousers, cotton-padded shoes, and a thick felt hat, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, and his clothes, shoes, and socks all being ill-fitting and oversized, this was the image of the Fourth Prince at this moment. When he heard the call, he couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that he was hallucinating.
