After an unknown amount of time, the Emperor finally finished reviewing the last memorial and gently closed the document. He let out a long sigh of relief and stretched his back with a great yawn before turning his gaze to the side, where Lin Feng had been standing silently.
"Ah, Feng Er, you've come," he said.
"Yes, Father, Your son is here," Lin Feng replied.
With that, the Wu Emperor signaled for the young eunuchs to leave, leaving only the two of them in the room.
"Feng Er," Lin Zhen said, his tone carrying a hint of apology as he spoke Lin Feng's name. "Regarding that incident from three years ago, your father knows you were wronged."
These words struck Lin Feng deeply. At that time, the Emperor was aware of the truth but felt powerless; the facts were laid bare before him. He had demoted Lin Feng to commoner status to protect him from being dragged into the turmoil. Seeing how much Lin Feng had grown over these three years brought him some comfort.
Lin Feng held back tears, understanding his father's difficult position. "Father, Your son understands."
Though Lin Feng had once harbored resentment towards his father, at this moment, all bitterness faded away. After all, how could there be lingering grudges between father and son?
The two talked for a long time, even discussing Lin Feng's encounter with bandits on his way down the mountain and how he rescued villagers. Lin Zhen appeared delighted, as if all his previous fatigue had vanished.
As Lin Feng stepped into the magnificent and resplendent palace, the atmosphere in the Crown Prince's Palace felt heavy and mysterious. At that moment, the esteemed Crown Prince was engaged in a low conversation with a serious-looking official, seemingly discussing some important matters.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed from outside, followed by a low voice announcing, "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince has arrived!"
At this moment, he was in His Majesty's palace.
Hearing this news, the Crown Prince paused briefly, a look of surprise crossing his face as he murmured to himself, "Oh? The Fourth Prince has come?"
After a brief silence, he quickly regained his composure and turned to the official with a command: "Proceed with what we discussed earlier. If there are any changes later on, I will inform you."
The official respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Highness. I take my leave."
With that, he hurriedly departed.
After the official left, Prince Lin Zheng slowly rose to his feet, adjusted his splendid robes, and carefully examined his reflection in the mirror to ensure he appeared dignified before stepping into the grand hall of the Emperor.
As he walked, he couldn't help but reflect on how fortunate he was that Zong Shi had not killed him; his steps unconsciously quickened.
Inside the Tai Chi Hall, Lin Feng was chatting with their father, Emperor Lin Zhen.
A voice from outside announced, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has arrived."
"Let him in," the Emperor replied.
With steady strides, Prince Lin Zheng entered the hall. His gaze immediately fell upon Lin Feng, and a fleeting look of uncontainable joy crossed his face. He hurriedly approached Emperor Lin Zhen and respectfully bowed, saying, " Your son pays respects to Father!"
Emperor Lin Zhen nodded slightly, signaling him to rise. Lin Zheng straightened up, his eyes filled with warmth as he walked directly toward his Fourth Brother, Lin Feng.
"Fourth Brother! Is it really you? I didn't expect you to come!" Lin Zheng exclaimed excitedly, as if he were reuniting with a long-lost family member.
Before he could finish speaking, he opened his arms and embraced Lin Feng tightly.
In that moment, the atmosphere around them became warm and inviting, as if time itself had come to a standstill. From an outsider's perspective, the bond between these two brothers was incredibly deep, resembling that of siblings who had not seen each other for ages yet still cared for one another profoundly.
