Chapter 337 - 324: Second Update
The guard moved swiftly; Prince Duan, Duke of Qing, even though utterly exhausted, seemed to have forgotten their fatigue. Following the guard, they needed no one to support them and directly crossed the mountain range to the spot where the outerwear was found.
"The Crown Prince has already gone ahead and left us here to wait for Your Highness, the Duke, everyone please follow me quickly—," the guard, not waiting for Prince Duan and the others to vent their emotions, immediately led the group along the riverbank.
By then, the sky had gradually begun to lighten. Supported by the faint morning light, Prince Duan could vaguely see the river, which was not wide but fairly deep. He stumbled, but Zheng Haoyuan steadied him in time.
"Imperial Uncle—" Zheng Haoyuan’s suppressed voice carried a sobbing tone, suddenly spreading his emotions.
Duke of Qing’s eyes reddened at the memory of his disobedient son from a young age. This trip to Zheng Capital had involved his son in a life-and-death situation, surely his son’s nature involve some scheme, which was why he went to Prince Duan’s Mansion personally.
But now, it all seemed in vain.
"Prince, the Crown Prince is ahead—", just then, the guard suddenly spoke up; Prince Duan immediately looked up, pushing ahead but Duke of Qing moved first, and the two collided.
Prince Duan snorted coldly and rolled his eyes at Duke of Qing, who did not show weakness. Even in death, his son would have nothing to do with Princess Chao Ren.
The three hastened towards the direction of Zheng Congyuan, who stood on the riverbank. Below the bank about one foot high was a vast sandbank, revealed due to the river’s dryness in late autumn.
