After searching here and there for almost half a day, the four men finally came to the conclusion, if the current crown prince they were looking for, was indeed gone. Because there's no clue about his whereabouts.
Although they had circled the region, in fact until now they had found no settlements or settlements, making it possible if their crown prince had died, due to being attacked by wild animals.
"It looks like we can't find anything in this place, it could be that the crown prince has died, because it was eaten by a wild beast" said one of the soldiers who was possessed by his three friends.
Then they immediately rushed to leave the forest, considering that it was getting dusk, they did not want to stay there, because the dark weather allowed the four people to find a way out.
After the four of them moved away from that place, the young man who had been sitting on the tree branch immediately jumped up very quickly.
Hap...
Both of his feet were on the ground, although in fact he was a cripple because he had a high foot next to him, but it did not make his ability reduced, he had indeed learned a lot about martial arts from the teacher who of course never considered if the lack of it was something to regret.
The young man immediately ran towards the hill to the west, where the teacher and his other comrades were. Although his heart was now agitated, hearing the words of the four people who had been searching for his existence, it did not dampen the young man's intention to return to training and strengthen his physique, so that if one day he is found by the empress or the consort of the empress, he has the power to fight.
He will never forgive his biological mother who steadfastly dumped him in the forest, but he also must soon meet his father, who, considering until now the father still does not know if he is actually still alive.
"What's wrong with you Qing Yuan?"ask the teacher.
The young man called Qing Yuan immediately turned his head, "It's okay teacher, it's just that I feel a little unwell right now." he said, saying goodbye to the teacher to rest faster.
The attitude that the young man showed was of course to fuel the suspicion of the teacher, who had been educating and raising him for the past 10 years, so even though the young man said there was nothing, in fact, the teacher knew that at this time the child and his student had experienced a problem.
He immediately walked towards the pavilion where Qing Yuan was resting.The teacher's arrival was warmly welcomed by Qing Yuan, although his heart was currently hot, but he still kept the teacher from knowing what was happening to him.
But it turns out he was wrong, however clever he hid the problem that is currently happening, the teacher still knows it. He immediately rushed over to Qing Yuan and patted the young man on the shoulder three times.
"If you have a problem, talk to your teacher" he said.
Qing Yuan immediately fell into the arms of his teacher, as well as the person whom he had always considered father by him, he actually felt extremely hurt at this moment, somehow the way he had to reveal, he was, if he knows his true identity now.
Soon Qing Yuan immediately broke the teacher's embrace, then invited the old teacher to sit down, he would immediately tell the truth of the story he had heard while in the forest.
Qing Yuan had the same face as Emperor Wei Huang when he was 10 years old.
"Are you intending to visit the imperial palace and meet your parents?" ask the teacher.
"My mother deliberately dumped me just to cover up the shame I was born disabled. While my father until now did not know, if I'm actually still alive.I still doubt, Do I have to visit them to the imperial palace or do I remain silent here and wait for them to find me?" replied Qing Yuan.
The Master immediately grabbed the young man's hand, then he stroked his long black hair, "Follow your heart, if you really want to meet your parents, but after the teacher hears the whole story, the teacher can conclude that it will not be easy for you to meet your own real father, because however the empress will definitely do various ways not to meet you with your father." say the teacher at length.
"Tell me what to do now, teacher?" said Qing Yuan.
"Stay in this place, you must train yourself to become stronger and stronger, if one day they find you, never want to go back, you must be absolutely sure that at that time, both of your parents actually accepted your presence with both hands open, if you think that your foot defect is a disgrace, then you are wrong. Because even if your legs are imperfect, you can still do anything, just like everyone else." said the teacher then encouraging Qing Yuan.
The young man nodded in understanding, he would try to forge himself to become stronger, it seemed like the teacher's words had a point as well, empress Xue Yi could have covered up the truth and not confessed her deeds.

The four consort of Xue Yi had arrived at the end of the village, exhausted, and they immediately looked for an inn to rest.
They would again continue their journey towards the imperial palace tomorrow, because even though the four people were forcing themselves to continue walking towards the imperial capital, it seemed that they would run into a bit of trouble, though, given the current time they had not rested the body at all, having walked and wandered around in the forest in search of clues to the crown prince's whereabouts.
There was a small inn called the rose inn, the four people immediately stepped into the place and looked for two empty rooms. They agreed to return to the palace the next day before sunrise.
The presence of the four people certainly caused various thoughts in the hearts of the innkeeper, as well as the servants there.
They felt very curious, why did the 4 people who wore warrior clothes as well as imperial palace servants, have to find a room to rest? Isn't the journey to the imperial palace not far away anymore? it only takes one and a half times to burn the hio.
But of course no one questioned that, because they realized that right now, the four people could be carrying out the orders of one of the members of the imperial court.
