Chapter 1346: Chapter 1346

King Jin slightly relaxed his furrowed brows, looking at Lin Qianqing’s hopeful eyes, smiled and nodded: "Good, wherever we go is fine. If cousin likes to look everywhere, we shall look everywhere."

Under Eunuch Wan’s arrangements, they left the city smoothly.

The carriage headed south; as dawn approached, King Jin suddenly called the carriage driver to a halt.

"Your Highness, King Jin, what’s the matter?" The carriage driver stopped the carriage by the roadside and turned to ask those inside.

King Jin poked his head out from inside the carriage and asked, "How far is it from here to the Imperial Mausoleum?"

The carriage driver looked at the sky and said, "Not far, we should be there before dawn."

"Good, we’ll go to the Imperial Mausoleum first," said King Jin.

The carriage driver nodded, turned the carriage in the direction of the Imperial Mausoleum, and sped away.

Lin Qianqing tugged on King Jin’s sleeve and said, "Why are we going to the mausoleum? Eunuch Wan conveyed that father wants us to head south."

King Jin curled his lips slightly, lightly sighed, and said, "No, we are not going south. We’ll go to the mausoleum first, then..." Thinking of those outside, he said, "Let’s go to the mausoleum first and talk about it there."

He opened the bundle brought by Eunuch Wan, filled with treasures, silver notes, and some gold and silver items.

He carefully checked each item inside, took everything he could, packed it into another bundle, then flattened the bundle and tucked it inside the clothes at his waist.

But the large silver notes remained untouched.

Lin Qianqing stared blankly, puzzled, and asked, "What is this for?"

King Jin lowered his voice and told her, "These are from father; they cannot be kept. As soon as we use these silver notes, his people can trace our whereabouts."

He patted the other bundle and said, "These items can be kept; they are given out of sudden kindness from Eunuch Wan, who does not know the Emperor’s deeper intentions."

Lin Qianqing felt a chill in her heart, glanced outside the carriage, and then quietly asked King Jin, "Do you mean perhaps father let us go because..." Google seaʀᴄh novel⚑fire.net

King Jin shook his head and said, "I don’t know, but the Ducal Residence, or father, they have always regarded Mother and me as tools for their use, which is certainly true from the start. I don’t know if father letting us go has another meaning, but while Mother was still alive, she told me, in this world, never to easily trust anyone again; she lost her entire life because of it. I don’t know what father is thinking, but I have to be cautious."

Seeing King Jin speaking so earnestly, Lin Qianqing said no more.

"Alright, I’ll follow cousin; wherever you say we go, we shall go," she replied.

King Jin gently embraced Lin Qianqing, pressed against her head, and whispered, "I never thought, in the end, the person I can trust most would be you. Cousin, you mustn’t deceive me!"

The carriage soon reached the vicinity of the Imperial Mausoleum, the driver stopped, and respectfully told King Jin and Lin Qianqing inside, "Your Highness, King Jin, dear Princess, please wait a moment; I’ll make the necessary arrangements."

Not just anyone can approach the mausoleum; this man is the Emperor’s person and knows how to allow King Jin and Lin Qianqing to approach the mausoleum.

Soon the driver returned, stood outside the carriage, and respectfully said, "Your Highness, King Jin, Princess, you may go quickly and return soon; I’ll wait here for you."

"Thank you," Lin Qianqing said.

Together with King Jin, she went to the altar of the mausoleum, where King Jin searched one row after another, finding Empress Jin Yushu’s memorial tablet in an inconspicuous corner.
