Day two.

There was a lot of discussion on the streets of the capital.

"Have you heard? The Second Prince has been demoted to a commoner."

"I heard that the Second Prince was demoted to a commoner because he forced the emperor to abdicate on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday."

"Ah~ This Second Prince is really something. He didn't want to be a prince, but insisted on forcing the emperor to abdicate. Now he has become a commoner. It's too miserable."

"Yeah, it's too tragic."

"Fortunately, Miss Feng and the Second Prince have divorced, otherwise she would have become a commoner now."

"Yes, although Prince Rong has passed away, she at least still has the extremely noble title of Princess Rong, and she will enjoy endless wealth and glory in this life."

"That's pretty miserable for Miss Su. She was about to become the second princess, but her plans were ruined on one Mid-Autumn Festival night."

"Alas, the world is unpredictable! Yesterday, he was a high and mighty prince, but today he has become an ordinary person like us. If we are not careful, we may even lose our heads."

"We are still the best! No need to worry so much, just eat and drink."

"Come on, come on...! Have a drink."

"…………!"

At the gate of the Second Prince's Palace.

After just one night, a beard had grown on Ye Xiuming's chin and his hair was a little messy. He no longer had the arrogance and confidence of the past, and he looked particularly pitiful.

Looking at the Second Prince's Mansion in front of him, which had two large seals on it, Ye Xiuming felt mixed emotions.

Now, everything under his name has been seized.

In this huge capital city, where should I go?

No one knew that Ye Xiuming stood at the gate of the Second Prince's Mansion all night.

“Your Majesty…!”

Ye Xiuming turned around and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see Zhui Ri and his men standing not far away.

"Chasing the sun...!" Seeing those people, Ye Xiuming's eyes suddenly turned red.

Several people immediately stepped forward: "Your Majesty...!"

Seeing the few people standing in front of him, Ye Xiuming wiped his eyes and said with a choked voice: "Didn't you already...?"

Zhui Ri said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is merciful and did not kill us."

"The other brothers are all fine too."

Hearing this, Ye Xiuming gently patted Zhuiri's shoulder, and said excitedly: "That's good, that's good."

Looking at the miserable appearance of several people, Ye Xiuming felt a surge of guilt in his heart.

"Zhuiri, I am sorry for you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have fallen to this point."

Zhui Ri shook his head: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. It is a blessing for us all to be able to follow you in this life."

“We have no regrets.”

"Yes, Your Majesty, we have never regretted it." The others echoed.

"So what are your plans for the future?" Ye Xiuming asked.

With a "swish", several people knelt on the ground and said in unison: "We swear to follow the prince until death."

"Hurry up and get up." Ye Xiuming helped a few people up, sighed, and said, "I don't even know where to go now. There is no way out for you to follow me."

I am now having trouble even providing for my own food and clothing, and I absolutely cannot allow them to follow me.

Zhuifeng said, "Your Majesty, we just want to follow you. Don't worry, we can go to the docks and work as laborers to earn money."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiuming smiled and shook his head.

"With your abilities, being coolies is a waste of your talents. Let me write a letter for you to take to the border to give to General Murong. He will definitely take you in."

Zhui Ri: "But Your Majesty...!"

Ye Xiuming raised his hand and said, "Zhuiri, there have been frequent wars in the border areas for years, and many people have been displaced."

"Although you guys are dumb, you have powerful weapons and are exactly the pillars that the border needs. Now that the border is in danger, you, as my Tiansheng people, have the ability and should go and serve the country."

When they heard this, a surge of pride surged in their hearts, but then they showed hesitation.

Now the prince has nothing. If a few people leave, he will be even more lonely.

Seeing the hesitation in the eyes of several people, Ye Xiuming continued: "Chasing the sun, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of every citizen."

Several people looked at each other.

Zhuifeng: Zhuiri, why don’t we just listen to the prince and go to the border!

Sun Chaser: Good

Then several people resolutely said in unison: "Your Majesty, we are willing to go to the border to serve the country."

Zhui Ri's eyes were firm: "Just like you said, every citizen has a share of responsibility for the success or failure of a country. Although we are not talented, we hope to contribute our own strength to the peace of Tiansheng."

After hearing this, Ye Xiuming nodded with satisfaction.

Then Ye Xiuming came to a fortune-telling stall, borrowed someone's pen and paper, and quickly wrote a letter.

After writing it, he handed it to Zhui Ri and said earnestly: "This is a secret letter I wrote to General Murong. You guys take this letter and he will arrange your duties."

"Remember, when you arrive at the border, you must put the country and the people first. At the same time, take care of yourself. When you return victorious, I will personally welcome you back."

Zhui Ri took the secret letter, and several people bowed deeply to Ye Xiuming and said: "Your Majesty, we will not let you down and will do our best to serve the country."

"But, Your Majesty, in the future...?"

Ye Xiuming smiled slightly: "Don't worry about me, I have my own arrangements."

"Go! The border is far away, so please be careful."

Several people bowed to Ye Xiuming and said, "Your Majesty, take care."

Ye Xiuming nodded: "Okay, take care of yourself too."

After saying this, Zhui Ri and his companions turned around and left, embarking on their journey to the border.

Their figures fade away in the afterglow of the setting sun, but their determination to serve the country burns like a raging fire.

Looking at the backs of several people, Ye Xiuming's eyes were full of worry.

"Go! Go and find your true ideal."

"I can't believe you have the awareness to protect the border!" Feng Qingjiu stroked his chin and spoke softly.

Hearing the voice, Ye Xiuming quickly tidied his appearance.

He turned around and smiled: "Why are you here?"

Feng Qingjiu looked at Ye Xiuming who looked a little tired and said, "I guess you haven't eaten since last night! Come on, I'll treat you to a big meal at Tianxiang Tower."

"I'm not hungry!" Ye Xiuming licked his lips and refused.

Suddenly, his stomach growled, which directly exposed Ye Xiuming's words.

"Let's go! Don't be so stubborn and suffer." Feng Qingjiu said with a smile.

Ye Xiuming lowered his eyes, a trace of inferiority flashed in his eyes: "Thank you...!"

Oh~ I wanted to refuse! But my stomach is not doing well!

That’s all!

I am indeed hungry!

Let’s fill our stomach first!

Looking at the bright, sunny and confident figure walking in front of him, Ye Xiuming felt deeply inferior in his heart.
