Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran prepared their luggage and got into the carriage the next morning, many commoners arrived outside the Seventh Prince’s residence.

When Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran came out, the crowd knelt down to them. “Thank you, Seventh Prince and Seventh Consort, for saving us!” Everyone thanked them.

To be honest, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng didn’t expect this scene.

Upon feeling the sincere gratitude of those commoners, Li Xiaoran, who had felt brokenhearted yesterday, immediately recovered.

Yes, there were indeed many ingrates in this world who trampled on other people’s sincerity.

However, there were also many people who knew how to be grateful, such as the commoners kneeling and thanking her.

Luo Cheng stood up and said, “Everyone, get up! Being able to help everyone is a very meaningful thing for us as well. Back then, we did all this to help the commoners in the capital regain their peaceful lives. Therefore, if everyone really wants to thank us, please live a good life in the future. That will be the best repayment for us!”

“Today, we’re going back to my fief. Everyone, farewell!”

Li Xiaoran also bowed and said, “Fellow villagers, please take care. We’ll meet again!”

“Goodbye, Seventh Consort!” The commoners cheered in unison.

Just like that, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng got into the carriage and headed towards the capital’s city gate.

The commoners couldn’t bear for them to leave, so they followed them. historical

However, as Luo Cheng and the others’ carriage moved, more and more commoners followed them.

When Meng Yan saw so many people bidding farewell to Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng, she smiled.

Ma Chongshan asked, “Do you like Seventh Consort that much?”

Meng Yan said, “That’s right! She understands me, and it’s all thanks to her that we can be together! To be honest, I like Li Xiaoran very much and feel very comfortable around her, since I don’t have to worry about so many things. I just have to be myself!”

At the same time, in another restaurant, Duan Sha was also standing in front of the window on the second floor and watching Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng leave.

After returning to the capital, Duan Sha had been recuperating.

On the first day she returned to the capital, she found Grandpa Miao, who usually nursed her health, to take her pulse.

Duan Sha was overjoyed to hear from Grandpa Miao that her illness had really healed. It was just that her body was still a little weak.

Doctor Miao was actually very curious as to why Duan Sha had recovered on her own.

After Duan Sha told him about her experience, Dr. Miao couldn’t figure it out either. He only felt that Duan Sha was lucky enough to meet a benefactor.

After the Duan family found out that Duan Sha had recovered, they didn’t publicize it. Instead, they asked Doctor Miao to keep quiet about it and secretly nurse Duan Sha’s body.

Originally, Duan Sha wanted to look for Li Xiaoran when she was in better health to thank her for giving her luck.

However, she didn’t expect to hear that the Seventh Prince and Seventh Consort were going back to their fief before she could even find them.

Therefore. Duan Sha rushed over to send Li Xiaoran off.

“Li Xiaoran, Li Xiaoran!” Li Xiaoran, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly heard someone calling her, so she lifted the curtain and looked out.

She saw Duan Sha standing in front of the window on the second floor of the restaurant opposite them.

“Wait for me to find you!” Duan Sha was very emotional.

When Li Xiaoran saw that Duan Sha looked very energetic, she knew that she had recovered.

“Sure! We’ll welcome you!”

After hearing Li Xiaoran’s words, Duan Sha was completely relieved!

“I’ll definitely come! Have a safe trip!”

As she spoke, Duan Sha waved at them.

“Thank you!” Li Xiaoran also waved at her as she said goodbye.

Soon, Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng, and the others left the capital city’s gate.

After sending them off, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng got out of the carriage again. After they bowed to the commoners who came to send them off, they left.

After the emperor learned that Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran had left, he sighed.

He knew very well what the empress dowager had done, but when it came to choosing between his son and mother, he still chose his mother.

At this moment, the emperor completely understood that he would never be able to repay his debt to Luo Cheng in his life.

Forcing Luo Cheng to stay by his side was the greatest harm to him. After he stopped the empress dowager, he only said one thing.

“Mother, let Luo Cheng return to Sichuan!”

The empress dowager looked at the emperor, but didn’t do anything in the end.

Because the empress dowager also felt a little guilty. After all, she had done those things behind the emperor’s back.

In the end, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng successfully left the capital.

While breathing in the fresh air on the road, Li Xiaoran completely relaxed.

To be honest, even if they didn’t do anything every day, they would still feel tense in the capital.

Now that she had left the capital, she felt relaxed and relieved of a heavy burden.

As Li Xiaoran looked at the scenery outside the carriage, she said, ‘We’re finally home! I wonder how Father, Mother, and Sister are doing now?”

Luo Cheng said, “Don’t worry! Everything is fine at home. If anything really happened, Zi Yan would have sent a message long ago!”

After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she felt that Luo Cheng made sense, so she didn’t say anything else.

After walking for a while, Li Xiaoran felt sleepy, so she simply lay on Luo Cheng’s thigh and fell asleep.

When he saw Li Xiaoran’s serene countenance, Luo Cheng’s heart softened.

Li Xiaoran was his achilles heel. No matter who it was, they couldn’t touch his achilles heel.

The empress dowager had probably already received his return gift!

As expected, after the emperor received the truth about what the Dark Dragon Guards had found out, he was immediately furious.

With that evidence, the emperor went straight to the empress dowager.

“Mother, how are you going to explain this?”

The empress dowager didn’t understand why the emperor was so angry until she looked at all the things the emperor had thrown at her. Then, her face paled.

“Impossible, that’s impossible. Son, someone must be framing your uncle!”

The emperor stared at the empress dowager and questioned her with a hostile expression, ‘Mother, as expected, you’ve always been biased towards my uncle! Now that there are witnesses and evidence, do you still want to find excuses?” The so-called uncle the emperor was talking about was the son the empress dowager had in her later years.

This uncle was three years younger than the emperor.

However, this uncle had been pampered since he was young, so even after he became an adult, he was still an irresponsible person who did many ridiculous things.

However, they didn’t expect him to come to the royal family to cause trouble this time!
