As early as when Jiang Mao dispatched the people to return to the capital city, he soon set out to return in a hurry. But he was not like the people who were on horseback all year round and therefore, he could not catch up with them.

Anyway, this was all right, too. When he arrived, it was time for the capital city to be the most bustling.

Looking at the direction of the capital from afar, Jiang Mao led his subordinates to ride towards the capital city.

......

Covering the birdie, Su Caicai walked for a while. He didn't know the way, being in the flower bed. Hence, he stopped and extended his head to look outside.

"It's only a short time since Seventh Prince left. The child certainly can't go far." A woman's voice with a little uncertain said.

Ladyship Lou's people saw Jiang Jun coming to the palace with a child, but just when they came, they happened to see the fifth prince leaving with the seventh prince, and they did not see the figure of the child, so they guessed that maybe the subordinate of Seventh Prince had escaped with the child.

Another female voice made a light humph.

Yes, Su Caicai had been walking for a long time, but it's really inconvenient for him to drill among flowers and plants in the flower bed. In addition, he hadn't worn pants yet. In fact, he hadn't gone far.

Su Caicai was almost four years old, but Jiang Mao didn't teach him to be too naive. Now, he was once perceived the danger was coming.

Su Caicai was still young, so he couldn't help shrinking. Then he accidentally bumped into a small tree which made a rustling sound.

The sound was so obvious that the two women were surprised and looked over.

Su Caicai was so scared that his butt fell on a piece of dirt with a lump of clods on it. It hurt a lot, but he didn't cry out. His tears rolled in his eyes as he was afraid to make a noise.

As the woman's pink dress drifted closer and closer, Su Caicai covered his mouth for fear that he could not help but scream out.

Suddenly...

"Jia, jia..." A burst of driving carriage sound came through.

――This road was the one that everyone who went to the north would pass by.

"Those two palace maids, come here." The people in the carriage didn't get off, but the accompanying servant called them over.

The two palace maids stiffened. What they did could not be brought to the surface. In front of this Daren, they had no courage to do it.

When they heard that person call them, they looked at each other, but they didn't dare to resist the order of that Daren.

"Have you met Seventh Prince here?" The man in the carriage showed his face. It was Li Jing's. His finger was pointed to Jiang Jun's sedan chair.

One of the two was stunned. She was a little indescribable about this question. She shook her head and then pulled out a smile. "At this time, of course, Seventh Prince went to court." She did not mention the things about Jiang Jun was taken away by the fifth prince when she came here. She'd better not involved in those things. Her goal was only that child.

Li Jing frowned after hearing that. Today's a little special. He could not help but think more. If Seventh Prince really went to the court as usual, then why was the sedan chair of Seventh Prince here, but his entourage was nowhere to be found... it's impossible for them to follow him into the palace, right?
