Shi Feiyang left the Capital and flew to Huaiqing Prefecture, first seeking out Prince Zheng Palace, then Zhu Zaiyu.
When Zhu Zaiyu's father was accused of a crime at the age of fifteen, one would expect him to live in anger and anxiety, appearing older than his peers. Yet, in reality, he was robust and hale, over sixty years of age, his hair silver but meticulously groomed, held in place with a wooden hairpin, and clothed in plain, common fabric. His simplicity exuded an ethereal air of immortality.
Shi Feiyang did not descend directly from the sky but instead landed three miles away and walked to the residence to pay a visit. He was not particularly respectful when facing the Emperor, but he showed great reverence toward Zhu Zaiyu, a "virtuous man".
Zhu Zaiyu was quite surprised to see him.
