Ye Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, "Be careful and see if you can stand up and walk a few steps."
Thinking that the leg that had been lame for months might have already healed, Ye Gaosheng was equally excited. He obediently stood up using his uninjured leg and carefully moved forward.
At first, his movements were very cautious, but after walking a few steps, the smile on his face grew bigger and the steps he took started to speed up.
After making a full round, Ye Gaosheng came back to where Ye Jiu was standing, his face full of excitement, "Little sister, my leg... Is it really healed?"
"Yes, it is," Ye Jiu nodded, looking at his foolish expression.
"That’s great." Ye Gaosheng suddenly jumped up happily, causing Ye Jiu to feel both alarmed and frightened.
"Big brother, be careful. Your leg has just healed; don’t jump around and cause new problems," Ye Jiu scolded.
"I know, I know." Ye Gaosheng was just too excited for a moment, but he was still very concerned about his leg.
After all, although there was no longer any hindrance in walking, speeding up caused some pain in his knee.
Ye Gaosheng certainly did not want to walk with a limp as he had before.
When dinner was over, Ye Jiu had not yet seen Ye Wenzheng and then asked, "Big brother, where is Wenzheng?"
"Wenzheng went to see the Prince..."
Although Ye Jiu had left a note, the note also instructed them never to disclose the news of her whereabouts. As Ye Gaosheng had been bedridden, all the external matters had to be handled by Wenzheng alone.
After hearing this, Ye Jiu realized that in the past few days, not only were people outside looking for Sikong Mo, but the Prince was also searching for her!
And while Wenzheng had received her note, he could not reveal her whereabouts, so he had to deal with the Prince and also pretend to know nothing while expressing concern for Ye Jiu, running to the Royal Residence every day to inquire if there was any news about Ye Jiu.
When Ye Wenzheng returned, the three of them gathered together again.
Ye Jiu instructed them to stay inside the residence for the next few days and not to go out.
Additionally, they planned to leave the capital in a few days. Sikong Mo mentioned that the house servants knew some fighting skills, so Ye Jiu wanted to take them along when they left.
However, this plan still needed to be discussed and agreed upon by them.
After discussing these matters and preparing to disperse to go to sleep, Ye Wenzheng suddenly said, "Auntie, the Prince has been diligently searching for you these past few days. It’s apparent that he is quite worried about you. Since there is no need to hide your return anymore, perhaps, I should go to the Royal Residence and inform the Prince?"
It was worthwhile to at least let him know to spare the Prince the worry of not knowing about her return.
"That sounds good, but it’s too late today. Let’s go first thing tomorrow morning," Ye Jiu thought there’d be no difference in waiting one more night.
The most important thing was, with the current turmoil outside, Ye Jiu was also concerned about Ye Wenzheng’s safety.
Ye Wenzheng hesitated for a moment. He wanted to go right now, but seeing the cautious look on Ye Jiu’s face, he decided not to voice his thoughts.
After Ye Jiu returned to her room and lay down on the bed, she recalled Ye Wenzheng’s words again.
He said, "The Prince has been looking for you these past few days. It’s clear, he is very worried about you."
