’s today.
Lin Hanchuan ignored the tearful looks of his subordinates and waved his hand, saying, “Don’t waste any time.”

The newcomers quickly held back their tears.
One of them stepped forward and used a key snatched from the officials of the Ministry of Justice to unlock the door.
When they helped Lin Hanchuan up, their eyes turned red again.
This time, they couldn’t hold back their emotions, and tears streamed down the faces of these burly men.

“Wangye, your legs…”

“It’s fine, let’s leave first.” Lin Hanchuan’s pain was shielded, and he had taken medicine.
He could feel his injuries gradually healing.

As they left with his subordinates, he noticed the officials from the Ministry of Justice who were tied up on the side.
The one in charge of interrogating him looked particularly terrified, burying his head in fear, as if he wished he could disappear.

When Lin Hanchuan’s gaze fell on him, the official trembled and even wet his pants in fright.
“Wangye, everything was the Emperor’s order.
We were just following orders.
Please spare us, Wangye…”

Hearing this, the others glared fiercely at the official.
The leader of the group, a dark-skinned man, carefully supported Lin Hanchuan and signaled to the others.

Lin Hanchuan noticed, but he didn’t stop them.
Following the group, they quickly left the Ministry of Justice’s prison.
News of the prison break quickly spread to the palace.


The person responsible for delivering the news knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
The surroundings fell silent, and he cautiously observed the area with the corner of his eye, noticing palace maids moving around.
However, these palace maids walked on their tiptoes, their dresses not making any noise, as if they were ghosts.

He couldn’t help but shiver.
If he had to live in this oppressive and cramped environment, he feared he would go mad in less than a month.

After an unknown period, the person high above finally spoke, “How are the people from the Ministry of Justice?”

The messenger’s status was low, and it was his first time facing the Emperor.
He thought the Emperor’s voice would be more majestic, like the Regent King’s, but the Emperor’s voice was clear and gentle, carrying a hint of coldness.
He didn’t sound like a powerful Emperor, but rather like a family’s young master without much imposing presence.

“They are all tied up, except for one who had his neck twisted…” The messenger’s voice faltered, feeling uneasy about speaking such words to the Emperor.
Could it be without consequences?

The Emperor remained silent for a long time.
The messenger couldn’t help but raise his head slightly, catching a glimpse of the Emperor’s true appearance.

To his surprise, the Emperor was wearing deep purple clothes adorned with embroidered dragons, appearing both luxurious and dignified.
However, the Emperor himself had a fair and beautiful complexion, which was even more striking against the luxurious clothes, adding to his nobility.

Having quickly glanced, the messenger hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look again.
After committing such a bold and daring act, his heart pounded in nervousness.
Still, he couldn’t help but think that the Emperor seemed somewhat delicate.
Fortunately, the Emperor’s gaze was sharp, which added some sense of authority.

“Go down.”

Hearing the command, the messenger immediately retreated respectfully and left the palace.
As he stepped out of the palace gates, he couldn’t help but glance back, seeing the slim Emperor sitting on the immense dragon throne, surrounded by emptiness.


“Solitary ruler, a lonely man from a solitary family.” The phrase flashed through the messenger’s mind, but he dared not entertain further thoughts and quickly left.

“Spread the order: Regent King Qi Changfeng is wanted for fleeing due to cowardice.
Nationwide manhunt…” The Emperor’s voice paused, “Dead or alive.”

After this decree, the already searching imperial guards became even more arrogant.
The city gates of the capital were surrounded by hundreds of people, strictly inspecting everyone entering or leaving.

“Who are you? Where’s your registered residence? Why are you leaving? Show me your travel documents.” The gatekeeper in charge of inspections threw out a series of questions expressionlessly, “Who is in the carriage?”

“We are traveling merchants.
We have finished selling our goods and are about to leave.” The dark-skinned man touched his head, smiling obsequiously.
He respectfully handed over a stack of travel documents, “In the carriage, there is my concubine who recently gave birth.
We bought her in the capital and are taking her back now.”

The gatekeeper glanced at him, then carefully examined the entire carriage and their belongings.
After confirming that everything was in order, he allowed them to pass.

Without sparing them another glance, the gatekeeper moved on to the next person leaving.
After dealing with several people, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to check the concubine’s selling contract.

It was just a woman who had recently given birth.
She hadn’t even fully recovered from childbirth but had to travel.
She was a pitiable person.
The gatekeeper didn’t think much of it and said to the next person, “Who are you? Where’s your registered residence? Why are you leaving? Show me your travel documents.”

TL’s note: Haha! The joke’s on them xD
