Chapter 730.1: The deepest secret

Su Xi-er gently coaxed Pei Qianhao, warmth exuding from her eyes. Go on, Ill sleep for a bit more.

Pei Qianhao almost couldnt stop himself from kissing her, but he managed to restrain himself and left the room.

As Su Xi-er watched him leave, the corners of her mouth rose to form a faint smile. Stroking her stomach, she spoke softly, Child, look at A-Jing.

In the main hall, Zi Sha was comfortably seated in a chair, an almost indiscernible smile on her lips as she recalled her encounter with Su Xi-er.

Its great that shes still alive.

Pei Qianhao walked in expressionlessly, seating himself at the top.

What does the man with the

douli

have to do with Xiliu? He went straight to the point.

The smile from Zi Shas face vanished, and was replaced by a solemn expression. Prince Hao, this matter is related to Xilius imperial secrets, so theres nothing I can share.

Oh? And what if this Prince insists on finding out? Pei Qianhao locked onto Zi Sha with a sharp glare, forcing the latter to sigh in helplessness.

Prince Hao, this is Xilius internal affair; I can only ask you not to interfere.

The temperature in Pei Qianhaos gaze dropped. Xilius internal affairs have already implicated Xi-er.

Hearing the name Xi-er, Zi Sha felt even more helpless. Since you insist on knowing, Ill say it then: hes a two-faced person. Zi Sha casually revealed the ident.i.ty of the man with the

douli

.

Pei Qianhao made no comment, though his gaze turned colder.

Zi Sha continued. Did you know that theres a rumour saying that two-faced people are born rebellious and hapless.

Wasnt it said long ago that two-faced people no longer exist in Xiliu? Pei Qianhao asked.

What you said is not wrong, Prince Hao. Two-faced people are Xilius sins; their birth is a sin, and their death is also a sin. A bitter expression flickered in Zi Shas eyes as she revealed a self-loathing smile.

Pei Qianhao sneered. Then why does that man exist?

Theres something you may not know, Prince Hao. Not only is he the only two-faced person in Xiliu, he is also the only one in this world. Zi Shas expression had returned to her usual faint smile.

Pei Qianhaos gaze darkened. This Prince doesnt care if hes the only one or the last one. As long as it affects Xi-er, I wont let it go.

Prince Hao, I know that he has committed serious sins, but he is also a p.a.w.n. Now that you know the history of two-faced people, you also know why he was created. Zi Sha switched her approach.

Pei Qianhaos glare immediately focused on her as he uttered his next words. That has nothing to do with this Prince. Anyone who provokes Xi-er cant be spared.

Hearing how resolute he was, Zi Sha couldnt keep the frustration from her visage.

Just as it seemed that their discourse would end, Su Xi-er appeared while dressed in white, a trace of fragility lingering around her.

A-Jing, killing him is very simple, but I dont wish to kill him just like that. She cast an indifferent glance at Zi Sha, watching the latters eyes return a grateful look.

However, Pei Qianhao was much more concerned with her being out of bed than anything else.

Xi-er, didnt I tell you to rest in your room? He embraced her softly.

A warmth smile lit up Su Xi-ers face. A-Jing, can you let me speak with her? Having thought things over in her room, Su Xi-er had decided to voice the questions in her heart. Unable to find it in himself to deny her, Pei Qianhao merely nodded.

Zi Sha could tell that Su Xi-er was giving her an avenue to ease the tension with Pei Qianhao. I also wish to have a talk with Princess Consort Hao.

The two exchanged smiles, as if they had not met for a very long time.

Did you come here to protect the person who harmed me? Su Xi-er asked.

Zi Sha shook her head. Not to protect; its simply because he cant die yet.
