Chapter 291.2: huge commotion

All of a sudden, Pei Qianhao stopped in his tracks. This time, Su Xi-er reacted swiftly and didnt b.u.mp into him.

Pei Qianhaos gaze appeared to be gentle, but his voice was very cold. What did you talk to the flower grower about?

Prince Hao, since you have chosen him, this servant was naturally reminding him to do the job well.

Pei Qianhao scrutinised Su Xi-er for a moment longer before continuing his on the path back to the posthouse. Follow. The faint word streamed into Su Xi-ers ears.

Pei Qianhao seems to be especially capricious with his actions today.

When the two of them were back at the posthouse, Pei Qianhao entered the hall and sat at the head seat without uttering a single word. He watched as Su Xi-er took her place at the side before finally breaking the silence. Go to this Princes room. You will be sleeping in there tonight.

He doesnt speak often, but when he does, his words are enough to shock everyone.

The few imperial guards standing in the hall were stunned when they heard Prince Haos words.

Hes really taking in Su Xi-er! Theres going to be a new addition to the Beauty Palace.

What they didnt know was that the Beauty Palace had already been dissolved.

Su Xi-er had to give face to Pei Qianhao in front of others, so she could do little but bow and leave. However, she returned to her own room instead of going to his.

After she had left, Pei Qianhao asked the imperial guards, Has Wu Lings letter arrived yet?

One of the imperial guards shook his head. No.

Withdraw. Pei Qianhao waved his hand, signalling for the guards to stand outside the hall.

Wu Ling hasnt sent a letter, so it would appear that things are progressing smoothly. Still, well speed up when we leave for tomorrow so that we can reach Beimins capital within two days.

We have left Beimin for so long; there will undoubtedly be many state affairs to handle once I get back.

Meanwhile, Ning Lianchen spotted Eunuch Fu anxiously waiting for him when he returned to the imperial palace.

Noticing the Emperor, Eunuch Fu immediately went forward. Your Majesty, Miss Yinyin is making a scene in the palace after finding out that Grand Tutor Liu is dead.

Ning Lianchen hadnt seen Liu Yinyin ever since he took her to the palace.

Im the Emperor, and she hates the Emperor. She has been thinking that I am only a subordinate this entire time.

With the dragon robes Im wearing now, its all the more inappropriate for me to meet her.

Hence, he waved his hand. Instruct the palace maids to look after her properly.

Immediately after the words left his mouth, a palace maid came frantically running. Your Majesty, Miss Yinyin has run towards the direction of the Imperial Garden!

Ning Lianchen swiftly departed for the garden without another word, leaving Eunuch Fu to watch his departing figure.

I was the one who deliberately sent someone to let Liu Yinyin find out about Grand Tutor Lius death. This way, it can divert His Majestys attention.

As for Prince Yun, Eunuch Fu already knew that Imperial Physician Fang was likely staying in the Prince Yun Residence for now.

No one knows exactly what Prince Yuns condition is right now.

Ning Lianchen rushed to the Imperial Garden, his dragon robes exposing his ident.i.ty. Liu Yinyin was walking on a small path in a panic after losing her way.

I dont want to stay here. I want to return to the Liu Residence!

Yinyin. Ning Lianchen called out to her.

When Liu Yinyin heard the familiar voice, she was elated.

Big Brother is here to send me back to the Liu Residence!

However, she stiffened when she turned around and saw Ning Lianchen dressed in l.u.s.trous dragon robes[1]. No matter how young and ignorant she was, she would still have a general idea of what the dragon robes looked like.

The one wearing the dragon robes can only be the Emperor!

My Big Brother is actually the Emperor! I hate His Majesty for s.n.a.t.c.hing Daddy away, yet now I am being told that Daddy and Mommy have died, leaving the Liu Residence destroyed!

Liu Yinyin was frozen in astonishment, her limpid eyes never leaving Ning Lianchen for a single moment.

Ning Lianchen walked towards her. Yinyin, dont be scared. Even if your Daddy isnt around, you still have me. Ill look after you until you grow up.
