The emperor frowned and said, "No hurry, wait a little longer."

The Concubine Duan stood up and said, "No hurry? How can I not be anxious? Your Majesty, just listen to me this time. The fifth prince is kind and will definitely be a good monarch in the future."

What kind is pure? It's just easy to control.

The emperor understood it in his heart, but there is really no more suitable candidate now, "Let me think about it."

The Concubine Duan coughed, then patted her chest and said in a gentle tone, "Okay, think about it again."

The emperor stood up and said, "I've seen you coughing these days, take good care of yourself."

The Concubine Duan nodded lightly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

The emperor stood up, patted her shoulder lightly, turned around and left her room.

After the joint examination, the palace examination will be held in half a month.

Zhou Ruiyuan looked at the results of the results and did not go back immediately. He stayed in the capital for another half a month. During this half a month, he also said that the emperor might want to make the fifth prince the crown prince.

However, the fifth prince did not seem to want to be the crown prince.

In a restaurant in the capital, the fifth prince hugged the servant beside him and cried, "I don't want to be the crown prince. What's good about being a crown prince? I have to be forced to attend the morning court every day and read so many memorials. It's so good to be a prince. I don't have to manage the affairs of the court, and I can eat delicious food and go wherever I want to play."

The servant comforted him, "Your Highness, you have to think like this. If you become the emperor, what do you want?"

The fifth prince shook his head, "What do you want? I just want to eat something delicious. Can't I eat the same as a prince? Why do I have to be an emperor? I don't want it, I don't want it!"

He cried harder and harder.

The servant was really out of options, so he said, "Your Highness, why don't we run away?"

"Run away?" The fifth prince asked doubtfully.

The servant nodded and said, "Yes, run away! Run away for a while, and we'll come back when the emperor appoints a crown prince."

The fifth prince sat up and wiped his tears when he heard this, "That sounds good."

The servant smiled and said, "Yes."

The fifth prince thought for a while and said, "Where should we run to?"

The servant pointed to the south and said, "Of course, we'll go to the south of the Yangtze River. I heard there are a lot of delicious food there."

The fifth prince has no other hobbies, but he loves to eat.

When he heard this, his eyes sparkled, "Okay, when are we going?"

The servant leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Let's go tonight."

The fifth prince was very excited after hearing this, and slapped the table heavily, "Okay, let's go tonight!"

The two hit it off and set off at night.

The fifth prince took a bundle with banknotes and silver in it under the instruction of the servant, and the two agreed to go to Wancheng County in the south.

And a carriage was parked at the city gate.

The servant waited for him in the carriage outside the east gate first.

However, the fifth prince was a person who didn't like to think much, and he heard the east gate as the west gate, and got on a carriage directly at the west gate at night.

The driver of the carriage was a driver who delivered goods to the Zhou family from Cheng'an County.

Just now, he just stopped the carriage at the city gate to rest and wait for dawn to leave.

The fifth prince sat in the carriage and waited for a while, and asked the driver outside the carriage: "Why don't you leave?"

The driver was drowsy and replied casually, "Leave at dawn."

The fifth prince thought the driver was the servant, so he fell asleep in the carriage with his gift.

After dawn, the driver did not find anyone in the carriage, so he drove the carriage towards Cheng'an County.

The fifth prince was still sleeping in the carriage. When he woke up, he called out to the driver outside the carriage, "Little Li, where am I?"

The servant was called Little Li.

The driver was startled when he heard that there was someone in the carriage behind him. He stopped the carriage and pulled open the curtain to look inside. He was shocked to see a young man sitting inside, "Who are you? Why are you in my carriage?"

The fifth prince was also shocked when he saw the driver, "You... who are you?"

He was very timid and his voice trembled when he saw the driver.

The driver saw that the young man was following him like a little wild cat, and he was not as fierce as before. He said in a gentle tone, "I am the driver of the Zhou family. I came to Beijing to deliver goods. Who are you?!"

Usually, the Zhou family delivered goods with at least four carriages and escorts.

But this time the driver delivered the clothes and food that Du Wanchun asked him to prepare for Zhou Ruiyuan, so he did not bring so many people.

The fifth prince was trembling with fear. Although he was timid, he knew that he could not reveal his identity.

Because he was afraid that he would be sent back to be the crown prince again.

He said quickly: "My family members are all dead, and I am the only one left, so I want to go south."

When the driver heard that he was an orphan, his tone became gentle, "We are not going to Wancheng County in the south, we are going to Cheng'an County."

When the fifth prince heard this, he realized that he had got on the wrong car, and he said quickly: "Cheng'an County is fine, uncle, I have no home, you can take me with you."

The driver saw that he was pitiful, so he agreed, "Okay, just follow me."
