Chapter 1345: Chapter 1345 Let Them Go
King Jin yawned, lazily finding a chair to sit on, crossing his legs with a drowsy look.
Eunuch Wan sighed helplessly, “Your Highness, King Jin, it’s the Emperor who sent this old servant.”
“Oh.” King Jin replied softly, continuing to drift between sleep and wakefulness.
Lin Qianqing, having dressed, ca out. He glanced at the listless King Jin and asked Eunuch Wan, “Eunuch Wan, is there so urgent matter for the Emperor to have you co to the Zongrenfu so late?”
Eunuch Wan looked at King Jin helplessly and said to Lin Qianqing, “Indeed, there is an urgent matter. Princess Jin, the Emperor has sent this old servant to let you go.”
Upon hearing this, King Jin abruptly opened his eyes and stared at Eunuch Wan in surprise.
“Let us go? What do you an?”
Eunuch Wan sighed, “The confinent of King Jin in Zongrenfu was the family clan’s decision; the Emperor never wanted it that way. The Emperor has always sought a suitable opportunity to let you leave. Luckily, tonight’s moonless, windy night is a perfect ti; you should quickly pack up and leave.” He handed a package to King Jin, saying, “The Emperor asked this old servant to bring this.”
Of course, all these words were just made-up by Eunuch Wan; no one truly knew the Emperor’s thoughts. No one can fathom the Emperor’s deep intentions!
In short, you should leave.
Holding the package, King Jin was slow to react.
Lin Qianqing, sowhat excited, couldn’t suppress a smile and suddenly knelt before Eunuch Wan.
Eunuch Wan was startled and hurriedly knelt down as well.
Lin Qianqing kowtowed to him, and with a troubled face, he also quickly kowtowed to her.
“Princess Jin, what are you doing? Aren’t you overwhelming this old servant? Please stop kowtowing, just get up.”
Eunuch Wan, while kowtowing, helped Lin Qianqing up, and only then did she begin to cry softly, “Eunuch Wan, once we leave, we may never return to Beijing. I beg you to find an opportunity to inform my parents: I will repay their nurturing grace in the next life.”
As she kowtowed sharply, Eunuch Wan did not stop her but moved aside.
This kowtow was Lin Qianqing’s way of showing respect, as a daughter, to Master Lin and Madam Lin.
“Alright, alright, this old servant will definitely do it.” Eunuch Wan, moved by her, also shed tears.
This was Lin Qianqing’s second late-night escape. Compared to the confusion of the first ti, she was more certain she would never return, making the departure more sorrowful.
Yet at the thought of a continued life of freedom, she cried tears of joy.
Supporting King Jin, who was still in a daze, unsure of what he was thinking, she said, “Cousin, we can leave now, from now on…”
Before she could finish, King Jin raised his head and asked her blankly, “Where can we go?”
“Anywhere is fine!” Lin Qianqing was montarily stunned.
“But we’ve been served all our lives; we don’t know how to do anything.”
Lin Qianqing grinned and said, “It doesn’t matter; we can learn. Look how well the cabbages you’ve planted in the courtyard are growing?”
“Really?” King Jin took a deep breath.
Lin Qianqing said, “We can go anywhere. From now on, we can be like the stars in Cousin’s paintings, belonging to the entire world…”
Eunuch Wan wiped his tears and smiled, saying, “The Emperor has prepared enough silver for King Jin and Princess Jin. Just consider it a trip. When you’re tired, find a picturesque spot to settle down; that’s a kind of life too. What’s most important is being alive and free.”
