CHAPTER 2001: CHAPTER 2003

"Wait!" Yang Chuxia suddenly felt something was off, "Where has Qingtong gone? Yangyang said Ye Wu was captured, what about Qingtong?"

"He must have been captured too, we’re looking for them now."

There have been too many things happening these days, Ye Zi’an is utterly exhausted now.

"Do you think those two were really Prince Le and Dongxue?" Yang Chuxia has some doubts deep down, could Prince Le have died so easily?

With so much power, he’d been under investigation since the time at Fancy Red Pavilion, it’s sudden to hear of his death, it feels unbelievable.

"They’ve been compared extensively, it’s confirmed to be them." Ye Zi’an said, "We need to inform Funan about this. The news of Prince Le’s death has been announced to the world, and he has been buried with the ceremony of a prince, the throne has been passed to the heir of Prince Le."

"Have Princess Consort Le and the heir of Prince Le been found?"

"Yes, they were found in a village in the outskirts." Ye Zi’an rubbed his forehead and said, "The mother and son disguised themselves as villagers, no one found them for such a long time, all the people in that village are actually followers of Prince Le, hidden there. Prince Le also hid in this village before."

This is quite startling, having an entire village as one’s own, hiding in such a place where there’s no fear of being reported or found.

No wonder Prince Le confidently said that if he didn’t come out on his own, no one would ever be able to find him.

So, the same question stands, unless he wants to die, it’s very hard for others to make him die, it’s suspicious!

"Young master, granduncle has been found!"

As they were speaking, Ye Yi came in from outside and reported.

Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an rushed outside and saw two people carrying Yang Qingtong in.

"Sister, Yangyang was taken away by Prince Le’s people." Yang Qingtong said this and then fainted.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia felt a sting in her nose, her precious son, who knows where he is now.

Soon after, Ye Wu also came in, but Ye Wu was much worse off than Yang Qingtong, covered in whip marks.

"Quick, carry them inside, and send someone to fetch a doctor."

In the evening, Ye Wu and Yang Qingtong both woke up and upon hearing of Yangyang’s disappearance, Yang Qingtong wailed loudly.

Kept saying he didn’t take good care of his nephew.

"Sister, I have let you and brother-in-law down!"

"Okay, it’s not your fault."

Yang Chuxia felt extremely upset inside, she could hold back the tears, but couldn’t offer comfort to anyone.

"Old man, I want to go home!"

In a certain valley, a delicate-faced little boy angrily shouted with his hands on his hips, "If you don’t let me go home, I’ll burn down your herbal room."

"You little brat, give me peace," an old man with completely white eyebrows and mustache placed a medicine bottle on the stone bench, "If it weren’t for me pulling you out, you’d already be smashed to bits, ungrateful and still dare to make a fuss?"

"Pah!" The little boy was unhappy, "It was that big snake that pulled me out, you had nothing to do with it."

"Humph, that rotten snake at most dangled you on the cliff wall, it was me who carried you down from there." The old man said defiantly.

"But if you hadn’t carried me down, my mother would have found me, I could hear her calling me, I don’t care, old man, I want to go home, I miss my mom, miss my handsome dad, and miss my brother."

The old man ignored him, still fiddling with the medicine, after a while, he glanced at the little boy squatting on the ground and said, "Once you come in here, you never go out, you can forget about leaving in this lifetime."
