Chapter 659: Playing Pitiful 2 (2/2)
As He Changdi had to stay by the emperor’s side as a guard, he had already gotten up before dawn.
Before he left, he stood in front of Chu Lian’s window for fifteen minutes, and finally left while suppressing his coughs.
When Chu Lian got up, He Changdi was already long gone.
She endured the urge to ask about He Changdi’s condition.
However, her complexion seemed to have greatly improved after a proper night’s rest.
Once everything was packed, they boarded the carriage. Only an hour through the journey back to the capital, someone knocked on the window of the carriage.
Wenlan raised the curtain of the carriage. Seeing the person outside the carriage, she greeted, “Good morning, General Sima. Have you come to look for our Third Young Madam?”
Sima Hui was riding on a snow-white horse. Looking incredibly suave in her martial attire, she nodded towards Wenlan with a smile.
A few moments later, Wenqing and Wenlan stepped off the carriage and got onto horses instead, leaving the space in the carriage for Chu Lian and Sima Hui.
The moment Sima Hui entered the carriage, she looked around the spacious carriage and touched the decor in the carriage. A smile surfaced on her lips as she said, “As expected of the imperial family’s carriage. If I hadn’t known beforehand, I would have thought that the person riding in this carriage was a prince or princess!”
Chu Lian gave her a look of disdain, “This is a carriage granted by the emperor himself, of course it would be high-quality.”
Sima Hui laughed, “That’s where you’re wrong! The one that Xiao Bojian is riding in isn’t as good as this one!”
“Sister Hui, have you come here just to make fun of me?”
“Alright, alright, I’ll stop joking with you.”
Seeing Sima Hui’s serious expression, Chu Lian set aside the smile on her face. With clear eyes and a slight frown, she asked, “What is it?”
Sima Hui sat right next to her, and coughed twice awkwardly, “Lian’er, just what happened between you and He Sanlang?”
Chu Lian: …
Right now, Chu Lian truly wished that she could find a hole and bury her head inside it. Why was it that this insignificant matter between her and her husband was known to everyone around them?
After coming to her tent to for a free meal on the first day, Sima Hui had stayed by the emperor’s side with the other military officials. The two hadn’t even seen each other until now, yet Sima Hui had still caught wind of this.
The corner of Chu Lian’s mouth twitched. Only one possibility came to mind, “Was it Fourth Prince who told you about it?”
Prince Jin was the lunatic He Changdi’s best friend. If he needed to confide in someone about this, Prince Jin would be his first choice.
