Ling Li's expression changed slightly, he had actually expected it, nodded, and responded, "Yes."

He promised simply, Ming Zhan couldn't help taking a deep look at him, but he didn't say anything and no longer delayed. He called people in to wait for dressing and washing while arranging the escort of people to leave with Ling Li.

Ming Zhan didn't leave first and personally helped Ling Li up the carriage, looking at him with a bit of lingering gaze, stretching out his hand to hold him.

Ling Li leaned out slightly, and said to him: "His Royal Highness, take care of yourself."

Ming Zhan's expression changed several times because of his words. He suddenly raised his hand and held the back of his head, leaning close to his lips and kissing him, his forehead pressed against his and their two breaths intertwined, "Ah-Li, you will definitely wait for me, do you hear?"

"...Um."

Ming Zhan's deep gaze fixed on his face for a moment, as if to crave his face in his heart, finally, he exhaled. He let him go, not lingering any longer. He spun the stead around, and while the dust was flying, gone away with a team of men and horses.

Less than a quarter of an hour after, the carriage that Ling Li was riding in Liyang almost ran into a child who rushed out bravely and stopped them.

Ling Li heard the child's cry and got out of the car to check, he found that he was just frightened and fell. It wasn't a major problem. When the parents came and took him away, Ling Li was about to return to the carriage, suddenly, a voice that was clearly suppressing its excitement came from behind: "You... please wait!"

Ling Li turned his head subconsciously, when he saw the person standing five steps away, he couldn't help being stunned.

Song Hui, the head of the guard who was in charge of escorting him, noticed his look and asked in a low voice: "Master, do you know him?" 

Ling Li nodded, it was Hao Jiasheng who shouted at him. Facing Hao Jiasheng's red eyes, Ling Li truly felt incomprehensible, "Were you referring to me?"

Hao Jiasheng's tearful black eyes stared at Ling Li, he restrained a tremor of emotion and moved closer. His hands hanging by his side tightened and loosened, finally, he faced Ling Li. He licked his lips and said quietly: "Excuse me, there is nothing else, but you really look like a relative of mine. I don't know if it's appropriate but... could I invite you to have a cup of tea?"

Ling Li was silent for a while. It stood to reason that Hao Jiasheng should know him, but now he doesn't seem to remember him, his whole temperament had changed a lot, as if he had been completely reborn.

Ling Li didn't want to explore this mystery, he shook his head, "I have something else."

Hao Jiasheng looked disappointed, he unwillingly came closer to say something but was stopped by Song Hui. Hao Jiasheng glanced at him, his eyes suddenly turned cold, but he contemplated again for a while and finally moved aside. With one hand behind him, he bowed slightly to Ling Li and said, "Then... goodbye."

Standing in place and watching the carriage leave, Hao Jiasheng's hands clenched tightly behind him, his mood was like an ocean current, his eyes felt sore and painful. While he pondered, someone approached him from behind.

"Master." The visitor was very respectful.

Hao Jiasheng turned around, and the visitor whispered: "The child dug out of Lu Qian's stomach... died a few days ago."

Hao Jiasheng's eyes shrank sharply after hearing the words, and his expression was full of disbelief, he was taken aback for a long time before bursting into laughter. He smiled and laughed, he burst into tears, as if it was very absurd, "Dead? He died just like this? Is this God's will, is it so?!!!"
