The carriage Gao Shan had sent to pick him up returned empty. The report was that Prince Zhao had already left the Imperial Palace, and no one knew where he had gone.
Hua Manman was very anxious.
'It's raining so hard. Where could he have gone all by himself?'
He Family advised, "Don't worry too much. Prince Zhao is a grown man, and he's so skilled. Nothing will happen to him. We'll send people to find him right away. They should be able to bring him back soon."
She had just finished speaking when Si Yun cried out in delight.
"The Prince is back!"
Hua Manman immediately looked outside and saw Prince Zhao, drenched from head to toe, walk up the steps and cross the threshold.
He Family was startled. "Prince, why are you soaked to the bone? You didn't walk back in the rain, did you? Quick, bring a towel! And hot water and clean clothes! Go prepare them, quickly!"
Si Yun rushed to bring a towel.
