Chapter 263 Closed door
Wen Heng was also very surprised, but this was not the Wen Mansion after all, and there was no need for him to care too much about the prince's affairs, so he just waited for a while and then went to bed in his clothes until he was awakened by the servant.
He opened his eyes drowsily, and seeing that it was already dawn, he couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the prince come back all night?" he asked tentatively.
The servant felt helpless and knelt down to him, his body trembling. "Sir, the prince...he went to Xinzhou with Zhao Si."
"Xinzhou!" Wen Heng held him down and asked in confusion, "You mean Xinzhou? Did the Shen family move to Xinzhou together?"
"Yes......"
Wen Heng's breathing was a little unstable for a moment. No matter how slow he was, he should have been able to see what the relationship between these two people was. They must have had an easy life during the five years when he didn't know about it. Seeing how quickly the prince couldn't help but chase after her on their wedding night, it was probably because he married her before they broke up.
"You step back first and find the clothes I wear for court."
The servant hesitated and said, "Sir, the emperor has given you and the prince a month, and you don't have to attend court during this month."
Wen Heng showed some expression at this time, "Yes, how could I forget about this matter? Did anyone know that the prince went to Xinzhou?"
The servant shook his head, "Probably not. The guests were all immersed in joy and laughter last night, no one noticed. Besides, the prince took off his wedding clothes and ran out..."
"Then ask the kitchen to prepare two portions of snacks and prepare the carriage. Prepare two portions of all the items for the trip. Do not let anyone else know about this. Although the truth cannot be hidden now, we can only keep it a secret for as long as we can."
After the servant left, Wen Heng began to sort out the matter. Now Lou Xu and the Shen family had both gone to Xinzhou. The only family in the capital who knew what had happened on the grassland at that time was the Xue family.
So that day, Wen Heng changed his clothes and went to General Xue's mansion.
In the past, there was only one general's mansion in the capital, the Shen family. Now it has been renovated, and the surname of this only general's mansion in the capital has been changed to "Xue".
Although he had no contact with the Xue family, the prince had been in contact with the Xue family for five years after all. It was natural for him to visit them in the name of the prince.
The servant ran all the way back to the carriage and said, "Sir, they said General Xue is ill and will not see guests."
"sick?"
There's really nowhere to ask.
Wen Heng sighed. This wasn’t because he was sick; this was because he just didn’t want to see her.
"Forget it, let's go back home and tell everyone that the prince and I went on an outing and we are not in the capital recently."
The servant nodded and told the groom to go back. "Sir, do you want to go to Xinzhou together?"
Wen Heng said, "If it weren't for this relationship, I would definitely not want to bother with him. But Xinzhou is a long way away, and there are bandits everywhere on the road. The prince didn't bring many people with him, so it's very dangerous. I have to go."
"Of course, I don't want anything to happen to him either."
The servant was brought from the Wen Mansion by him, and he was almost his confidant. But at this moment, he curled his lips and said, "It's rare to see the young master care about someone."
Wen Heng glanced at him and did not refute. His marriage with the prince was already a done deal, and they would prosper together and suffer together. What was the point in worrying about these things?
"I don't know where the prince is now, and whether we can catch up with him."
Wen Heng said, "I'm afraid we have to hurry up. The prince started one night earlier than us. The two of us are traveling light, so who knows where he is. The official road to Xinzhou takes at least ten days. If the prince took the small road in a hurry, he might have traveled half the way. However... as far as I know, the bandits there were attacked by the government five years ago, and they will definitely not let the prince go easily if he is recognized."
