He threw a few banknotes into the door and lit a cigarette.
Even if he had some connections, he couldn't easily inquire about the affairs in the palace.
Since Liang Ying wrote to him saying that everything was fine, there should be nothing wrong, right? Zhou Huailin could only hope for this, even though he also thought that Liang Ying might only report good news and not bad news in order not to make him worry.
The man bowed to the Buddha statue several times.
He hoped that the prince would be safe. This was his most pious wish at the moment. He
must be safe, that child.
If Liang Ying were to suffer such a blow again, it would be too cruel and unfair. He really didn't want to see a sad expression on that person's face again.
When he came out of the hall after burning incense, the sound of bells from the distant mountains came. The melodious bells mixed with the smell of sandalwood brought some peace to the restless heart.
"Zhou the governor."
Suddenly hearing a female voice calling him, Zhou Huailin turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice. He knew the person standing there, the daughter of Master Du.
The other party walked towards him a few steps.
"Zhou Shi, what a coincidence."
Zhou Huailin nodded expressionlessly and replied, "Miss Du." His serious face seemed even more distant under that cold tone.
"Zhou Shi is here to burn incense too?"
Zhou Huailin ignored the other party's gaze and just responded, "Yeah."
"When do you plan to return to Junzhou?"
When to return to Junzhou is naturally to wait for Liang Ying, but Zhou Huailin just said coldly that he has not decided.
In a few words, the scene became cold.
Even though she had heard of his personality, Du Linzhi felt a little embarrassed at this moment. She thought about it, and still moved a little closer, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "He's fine."
After saying that, she quickly stepped back.
This "he" naturally refers to the prince.
The man's eyes finally showed ripples, as if he was relieved.
Master Du was not only Wei Yan's teacher before, but now he is also teaching the prince, so Du Linzhi can also know a little about the things in the palace.
The safety of the prince is a huge stone weighing on the hearts of each of them. When Du Linzhi saw Zhou Huailin, she thought about whether to tell him so that he didn't have to worry anymore.
But now looking at this person, she couldn't help but ask other questions: "She's there, aren't you worried?"
Although Wei Yan behaved very normally, his various actions towards Liang Ying were just like compensation. But Du Linzhi didn't think that it was compensation.
Now the two people who were once the most loving are guarding their children together. Is this man really not worried at all and has no grudges at all?
But what she didn't know was that compared to what she was worried about, Zhou Huailin was just thinking: Are the mother and son really reconciled this time?
Liang Ying should get out of her previous struggles and difficulties and completely let go of her knot about the prince.
But she should... feel very distressed, right?
Zhou Huailin didn't answer this question: "If there is nothing else, I'll leave first."
Du Linzhi was slightly stunned, but still nodded, watching the man walk down the steps, and his straight back disappeared into the crowd.
This temper... If I hadn't known that they had a good relationship, I would have really worried whether I could get along with Liang Ying.
But if it was Liang Ying... She remembered her cold attitude towards her at the beginning and her perseverance in getting close to her, and her heart ached again.
If it was Liang Ying, any iceberg could be melted, right?

The tense atmosphere
in the East Palace in recent days eased a lot today. The prince who had been in a coma for many days finally woke up, but no one could figure out how the prince, who had been sick for several days and should have no strength at all, could hide in the secret compartment without being conscious.
When seeing the prince's biological mother who appeared for the first time hugging the prince and crying, somehow, many people turned their eyes away with red eyes.
Perhaps they were moved by the mother's love that could not be hidden, or perhaps they witnessed that the prince's longing for day and night was rewarded, the crying and the two people hugging each other were particularly sad.
They also saw the emperor standing behind them for the first time, and their eyes were red.
Wei Yan originally thought that Wen Qi was still young at the time and might have forgotten it long ago. But the moment he saw the boy in the secret compartment, his emotions were on the verge of losing control.
He remembered that when he found the child in the secret compartment five years ago, he obviously didn't have the strength to speak, but he still grabbed the corner of his clothes and said his mother. The
dying child in his arms made Wei Yan feel so distressed that he seemed to be twitching. He told Wen Qi that his mother was safe and from now on, no one could hurt them anymore. The child finally relaxed and closed his eyes at ease.
