Chapter 854: Chapter 853: Reunion, Cherish Every Opportunity

Tonight is New Year’s Eve.

Each year on New Year’s Eve, a banquet is set up in the palace, and all princes, princesses, and their consorts must enter the palace and accompany the Emperor in celebrating the New Year.

It is uncertain whether the Emperor would stay up late with everyone.

However, whether or not the Emperor appears is his prerogative.

But they, they must attend.

Anyone who fails to attend is showing unfilial piety to the Imperial Family’s ancestors!

"Where is everyone?" Night was already falling, and the Prince Residence was still in chaos!

Leng Ji, sweating with urgency, stammered, "Prince, Prince, we have dispatched the Sun, Moon, and Stars to search, we have nearly turned the Imperial City upside down, yet... yet we still can’t find Miss Chu."

Seeing the chill intensifying again, Leng Ji shrank his neck and whispered, "If you permit, I will continue to search, but, Prince, isn’t it time for you to go to the palace?"

Feng Yexuan’s face was expressionless, yet frost perpetually lingered on it.

Leng Ji knew he shouldn’t be urging the Prince to leave at this moment.

But tonight is New Year’s Eve, the Prince has to be there!

Even Prince Wuya, also known as Prince Xiaoyao, is making a strenuous effort to return on time.

Even if he can’t make it for the banquet, Prince Wuya is striving to reach the moment of the New Year’s vigil.

Ding Chen had just said recently that Prince Wuya, to make the New Year’s vigil, hadn’t rested at all last night, traveling all night long.

Even Prince Xiaoyao, normally indifferent to worldly affairs, was doing this—showing just how important the New Year’s vigil is to the children of the Imperial Family.

"Moreover..."

There were some things Leng Ji knew he shouldn’t say, but he couldn’t help saying, "Prince, moreover, the Emperor’s health has been deteriorating recently... Prince, spending the New Year together, we should cherish each year we can."

Feng Yexuan clenched his palm momentarily.

Togetherness, to cherish each year, he knew it!

The Emperor’s health was failing fast!

But where had his dead woman gone? Even now, there was still no news.

Ding Chen had returned by then, realizing why the Prince was still at the Residence.

Ding Chen hurriedly reported, "Prince, as for your wife, everything seems normal so far, but she has been resting all day today and doesn’t wish to meet with me."

"Resting?" Feng Yexuan furrowed his brows.

"Yes, resting. I haven’t received any other news."

"Prince, you should go to the palace first. I have a token and can enter the palace at any time. Should any issues arise, I will immediately notify you."

"Yes, Prince, please go to the palace first!" Ding Chen also urged.

Leng Ji had even "invited" Jifeng, the horse.

This horse, quite the diva, needed considerable coaxing to agree to come.

After all, its master hadn’t called for it yet.

Leng Ji whispered softly, "Prince, it’s getting late, please go to the palace first."

Feng Yexuan closed his eyes briefly, then finally, he mounted the horse in one leap and was out the door in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Ding Chen and Leng Ji stood there in astonishment.

After a moment of stunned silence, Leng Ji realized and hurriedly said, "The Emperor is seriously ill; we don’t know what might happen these days. Keep an eye on your wife; I’m afraid she..."

"I understand, but you should also head to the palace to look after the Prince first. I’ll send someone to notify you if there’s any news."

The two divided the tasks and left the Prince Residence together.

Feng Yexuan was somewhat distracted on his journey.

Entering the palace, he greeted no one and went straight to see the Empress Dowager, then hurried to the Imperial Garden where the banquet was set.

But what he didn’t expect tonight was the appearance of a different Yu Linglong with Feng Qihe...
