Chapter 489: Chapter 488: You Are Now the Only One Who Can Save Him

Prince Dingqin is dead.

Although Commandery Princess Pingyue was rescued, the entire Prince Residence was now enshrouded in gloom and despair.

No one knew how much time had passed, but it was Long Ziyue who finally broke the silence.

"Mother had already made up her mind not to leave the Imperial Palace, she knew that it was impossible for two people to leave together."

She took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at Wei Qiong and Fu Long.

"Now, we must arrange everything before Ali returns; I’m afraid we can’t stay in Dragon City any longer."

"The Prince is still in the palace," Fu Ning said anxiously.

With such a commotion in the palace tonight, the Prince’s side is even more heavily guarded.

It now seemed impossible to take the Prince away.

Rescuing someone from the palace could only happen once, not twice!

Tie Xin suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, his face ashen.

"Tie Xin, don’t worry, we will definitely be able to rescue the Prince," Fu Long hurriedly said.

Unexpectedly, Tie Xin shook his head, his voice already hoarse: "The Prince... never thought about returning; he has long... made up his mind to die."

"What did you say?" Fu Ning, Fu Long, and even Long Ziyue, all gasped in disbelief.

Wei Qiong’s fingertips were even trembling: "We, we can save him..."

"The Prince won’t leave. Before the Empress and the Grand Princess have completely split, the Prince... the Prince won’t come back."

But the Prince had already decided, he never had the chance to return.

Tie Xin’s eyes were moist, his whole being devoid of life.

"The Prince... never thought about coming back."

"We can’t..."

"Leader Fu, the Prince had a few words he wanted me to convey to you."

At this moment, Fu Long was somewhat out of his wits.

If something really happened to Prince Xiaoyao, what would Ali do? Ali would definitely be heartbroken to death!

"Leader Fu..."

"I’m here." Fu Long pulled Tie Xin up and the two entered the inner chamber. He urgently asked, "What did the Prince want to say to me?"

"The Prince said that he knows about his illness and even if it could be cured, it would take a substantial toll on Miss Chu and her energy. Moreover, at this moment, Miss Chu should prioritize the grand cause of restoring the country and should not be distracted by other matters."

"He..."

"The Prince knows," Tie Xin knelt on the ground, and when it was just the two of them, his tears still rolled down uncontrollably.

"The Prince never really considered accepting Miss Chu’s so-called surgery. The Prince doesn’t want to become a burden to her."

"The Prince hopes Leader Fu can take good care of Miss Chu, and also... also Prince Xuan."

"Prince Xuan?" Fu Long was taken aback, finally understanding.

"Feng Wuya is Prince Xuan, isn’t he?" He had been suspecting, but he dared not be sure.

After all, defying an imperial order is a capital offense!

Moreover, doing so meant truly abandoning his soldiers and his people!

For Prince Xuan, defying an imperial order and facing decapitation was a minor matter compared to abandoning his soldiers and people, which was the greatest pain in his heart!

But for Ali, he actually did it!

He had always thought that among the two, the hurt Ali suffered was unparalleled.

But he never considered that actually, Prince Xuan, was also deeply wounded.

"Tie Xin, no matter what, we will try our best to rescue Prince Xiaoyao."

Tie Xin looked at him and eventually shook his head: "The Grand Princess and Her Majesty haven’t broken yet, the Prince won’t give up hope."

"He doesn’t understand power struggles at all, he’s no match for Long Tianliu!" Could someone who aspires to be the Empress be tender-hearted?

Feng Wuya staying in the palace is bound to be a dead end sooner or later.

But Tie Xin had already collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down: "Prince Xiaoyao doesn’t care, as long as he can help Miss Chu, he doesn’t care about his own life."

"I only beg Leader Fu to comfort Miss Chu properly and not let her come to the palace to find Prince Xiaoyao; the Prince... he won’t be coming back."

Suddenly, Tie Xin stood up and turned to leave.

Fu Long asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"

"I don’t know..."

Tie Xin turned back to look at him and wiped away his tears.

Having followed Prince Xiaoyao since childhood, if a day came when the Prince was gone, he wasn’t even sure if he could go on living.

Maybe... maybe there was still something he could do now.

For Prince Xiaoyao, for Chu Qianli, who the Prince cared about the most.

"Leader Fu, I entrust Miss Chu and Prince Xuan’s matters to you!"

Tie Xin turned and left.

In Fu Long’s heart, he was filled with immense conflict.

Such a major incident had just happened in the palace tonight; trying to enter the palace to rescue someone now was undeniably a suicide mission.

They still had many things to do; they needed to ensure that Long Ziyue and Wei Qiong could withdraw safely and reunite with Ali...

But what about Prince Xiaoyao?

...

After leaving the Prince Residence, Tie Xin immediately went to the Princess Residence.

"Did Wuya enter the palace to help Long Ziyue escape?"

Long Xinghe had considered this possibility, but when she heard it from Tie Xin himself, she couldn’t help but be shaken.

Although nearly driven mad because of Wuya, she was not truly foolish.

She could see that Wuya wanted to sow discord between her and His Majesty, at the very least.

Yet, she truly liked Wuya and didn’t care even if he had other intentions!

After all, she was but a young person full of vigor, not as composed as the Empress.

But what was Tie Xin’s purpose for telling her this now?

"Princess, I know that everything the Prince has done is inexcusable to you, but I am completely out of options at this point."

"Wei Qiong and Long Ziyue are withdrawing; they... they have abandoned the Prince!"

Tie Xin’s face was one of pain and regret.

"The Prince volunteered to enter the palace to help them, only to have these ungrateful people decide to leave Dragon City tonight."

"Now that Prince Ding is dead and Long Ziyue has fled the Imperial Palace, enraging His Majesty, their departure tonight is something both the palace and His Majesty expected."

If it wasn’t for Tie Xin’s arrival, she would have already led her forces to capture and intercept them.

Although they had a large army in Dragon City, initiating a battle was far from desirable, yet she still couldn’t bear to see Long Ziyue and Wei Qiong leave.

But now, Tie Xin was seeking her out, telling her all this...

Suddenly, Long Xinghe’s heart started to feel uneasy.

"Princess, our Prince has never been valued in Beiming Country; he was only close to Prince Xuan and Miss Chu. This time, he was willing to do all this for Miss Chu, to help Wei Qiong and Long Ziyue, but now..."

"But now, they have abandoned the Prince!"

With a thud, Tie Xin knelt and bowed to her: "Princess, His Majesty is so astute, he must know that this matter is related to the Prince! Princess, I beg you to save Prince Xiaoyao! At this moment, you are the only one who can save the Prince!"

Long Xinghe stood up abruptly, her anger rising: "Wuya is helping those people against me and His Majesty, how do you expect me to save him?"
