Chapter 419: Pei Rumo’s Move (1/2)

“May Your First Highness please wait outside... I’ll look for you after freshening up.” Bai Luochu knew that the matter about her recovery was a pressing one and she immediately started to ready herself for the day.

He knew that it was somewhat inconvenient for him to remain in her room and he said, “You don’t have to rush. I brought him to the courtyard and you can look for us once you are done.”

Even though she received Pei Rumo’s reassurance, Bai Luochu’s speed didn’t decrease in the slightest. The matter with the soldiers wasn’t a small one and if she went late, she didn’t know what might happen.

In just a short while, Bai Luochu left her room and immediately ran into the commander. “Why are you here?!” Bai Luochu asked in shock.

When he heard her question, the commander knew that the anonymous note was fake. She was obviously able to see him, how could she be blind?

“Were you the one who said that I went blind?” Bai Luochu mused and she stared at him with her eyes shining brighter than stars. It was obvious that she wasn’t blind.

“This… We are at fault for believing random rumors! Luckily for us, we didn’t notify the soldiers under us. It would be an unpardonable crime if we affected the morale of the army…” After he spoke, the commander seemed to shake his head in embarrassment.

Bai Luochu didn’t bother with him. Instead, she turned to look at Pei Rumo. As though he realized her intentions, he spoke up. “Alright. You don’t need to explain further. If this news were to start spreading, our Cloud Water Nation is going to turn into a world-class joke.”

“Yes yes yes. This subordinate understands. I will never act so rashly again in the future.” Hearing that Pei Rumo wasn’t going to punish him, he quickly got ready to return.

Looking into each other’s eyes, Pei Rumo and Bai Luochu sighed with relief. However, their relief didn’t last for long.

“Luoluo, why are you awake so early? What do you feel like eating for lunch?” Just as the commander was about to leave, he ran into Pei Qingfeng. How would Pei Qingfeng recognize a random commander in Pei Rumo’s army? He ignored the unfamiliar face before him and entered Bai Luochu’s courtyard without a second thought. As for the commander, how could he fail to recognize the Second Prince?!

“Your Second Highness?! Why are you here?!” Unable to conceal his shock, the commander yelled.

Looking into each other’s eyes again, Pei Rumo and Bai Luochu saw the despair the other party felt. Sh*t… Now we are screwed. We won’t be able to hide the truth anymore. This Pei Qingfeng couldn’t have chosen a better time to appear…
