By the time Hua Manman and Li Ji returned to the Prince Zhao Mansion, it was late at night.
Bright red lanterns still hung from the eaves of the Prince Mansion, and red silk was draped above the main gate, giving it a festive air.
The guards at the gate saw the Prince had returned and hurried forward to pay their respects.
With assistance, Li Ji disembarked from the carriage and settled firmly into his wheelchair.
Hua Manman pushed the wheelchair into the Prince Mansion.
Along the way, they ran into Gao Shan, who had rushed over to meet them. He looked frantic, his forehead beaded with sweat.
The moment he saw the Prince, he looked as if he had seen his savior. He dropped to his knees with a THUD and cried out in a tearful voice.
"Your Highness, you're finally back!"
