Chapter 1052 (2/2)

“Yes, Marquis.”

“Leave, I will be here to accompany Yuan’er until she wakes up.”

Zheng Tianwu waved his hand then quickly turned his attention to Lady Yuan.

His eyes were full of tenderness and willingness to spoil her.

That was something that was previously not there.

In this life, he had killed many living beings. Regardless of whether it was a beast’s life or a human’s life, none of this mattered to him.

Everyone was just like an ant, there was no need for him to care.

But after he had met Yuan’er, he finally had someone he cared about…

He would not allow anyone to accuse her.

Whatever she said, he would believe it!

It did not matter if she was something bad that would bring calamity to the country and suffering to the citizens. Nor did it matter if she was a vixen in this story. None of it mattered to him.

He just wanted to be by her side…

“Marquis.”

At this moment, a guard rushed over and whispered into Zheng Tianwu’s ear.

Zheng Tianwu’s eyes sunk, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. “Is what you have said true?”

“Every sentence I have heard is true. It was overheard by a palace girl belonging to the little princess.”

“Good. Very good. Come with me, I want to enter the palace to meet the Eldest Prince!”

***

At night.

The sky was dark and the crescent moon was hidden behind the clouds.

Inside the palace walls, two pet.i.te figures carefully avoided all the imperial guards, moving forward while dodging and hiding.

“You Lan, the secret pa.s.sage you have talked about, does it really exist?”

“Of course it’s real.” You Lan happily stroked her chin. “When I was a child, Father Emperor did not let me out, so I used to secretly sneak out through this secret pa.s.sage. Yiyi, I have inquired about something, Eldest Imperial Brother has left for an appointment tonight. He is not in the palace. It is the best time for us to escape.”
