Su Jingyang got some information about Ling Li from Rong Hua's story, that is, he'll die very far in his life. Su Jingyang carefully calculated the approximated year and month, he estimated that Ling Li would live to be nearly 70 years old.

When Su Jingyang heard about the King Li's life and death, Su Jingyang couldn't help but fall into deep thought, after all, everyone will die someday. Ling Li would be able to live till 70 years old, this could already be considered a long life in ancient times. After looking at it that way, he began to feel a little better.

While they waited for Rong Hua, Su Jingyang and Rong Ci began frequently taking the two children out for strolls in the garden. One day, they happen to run into Rong Xia. Su Jingyang, who had almost forgotten the existence of the child, was stunned when he saw him.

Rong Xia was passing by holding two books in his arms. There was no expression on his small face, and he seemed much calmer and quieter than before, losing some of a child's innocence. After seeing them, Rong Xia stopped and greeted them properly before leaving.

Rong Ci noticed that Su Jingyang's expression was a little complicated, he told him that Rong Xiao now knew everything he should know. Su Jingyang said, "No wonder he looks like this... he's quite pitiful."

Rong Ci quietly said: "Children without mothers are all pitiful."

"..." Su Jingyang glanced at him and moved Ah-Yu in his arms, he felt suffocated.

Ah-Xi held onto Rong Ci's fingers and nibbled at them, Su Jingyang saw the small scars on Rong Ci's hands, all of which were just added recently. Su Jingyang couldn't help asking him: "It's been so long, does your formation still require blood every day?"

Rong Ci blinked and looked at him with a smile, "It's not a big deal, a little blood isn't worth worrying over."

"I just think it's weird." Su Jingyang became more and more suspicious, after observing him for a good minute, he finally asked: "Rong Ci, be honest, are you doing some secret shady stuff?"

Rong Ci his fingers that were already coated with Ah-Xi's saliva, he said with a smile, "What can I do? Can I even stop you from leaving? Oh, look there, the messenger's here."

Su Jingyang looked at the direction he pointed at and saw someone coming over to deliver a letter. He was interrupted, and forgot to ask him again later.

The letter was by Rong Hua, he said that some things had been delayed and asked them to set off first, he ensured that he would chase after them once the matter was handled. Although Rong Hua didn't say exactly what it was, Su Jingyang vaguely guessed that it had something to do with Ming Jiasheng.

Su Jingyang really hoped that Rong Hua could find someone who treated him wholeheartedly, instead of wasting his life because of Ming Jiasheng's pain. Ming Jiasheng's mistake was really not worthy of forgiveness.

In Yongning Hall.

Ling Li was tired from reading, he got up and prepared to rest momentarily on the couch. He had become continously sleepy after getting pregnancy. With the help of a maid, he loosened his hair and removed his coat. Before he could lay down, someone informed that the Prince was outside. Ling Li put on his clothes again and waited for him to come in.

Ah-Xuan first greeted Ling Li before sitting next to him, his eyes were sparkling and he said: "Erchen¹ went out of the Palace this time and ran into a stranger from Jianghu. He's very good at tricks and can make sour faces smile."

Ling Li couldn't help but laugh, "Is there such a person?"

"Really! I think he's quite capable, so I brought him into the Palace so that my Father Emperor and Empress Mother can also be amused." Ah-Xuan shook Ling Li's arm and said, "Is it possible for Erchen to call him in right now?"
