“Send the body to the Grand Preceptor’s estate,” Lou Zigui ordered Fang Tang in a low voice “There’s no need to take any pains, just dump it there and leave”

Fang Tang was used to Supreme Commander’s orders and didn’t question him He su inside the room Of the eunuchs still left behind, there was an elder head eunuch with a head full of white hair He secretly snuck a peek at Lou Zigui, his shrewd eyes sensing so off about the Supreme Commander’s complexion But before he could take a closer look, the ht as a young pine, his steps authoritative and unhurried

Lou Zigui walked along the corridor until he turned left to stop before the cell holding Prince Fu He peeked through theof the door, where aon a wooden bed The sheets on the bed looked nehile a fels rested on a small bedside table Half of the snacks had been eaten in those bowls,like they’d been just made today

“You’ve taken cares to serve hiui smiled as he shook his head

The head eunuch who had been following Lou Zigui hastened to say, “These were His Majesty’s orders We servants dare not slight them”

Lou Zigui turned back to continue on his original path When the head eunuch looked at Supre amiss He rubbed his eyes and wondered whether he’d been mistaken in the first place

By the tiui left the Hall of Punish towards dusk It had even started raining, the thin droplets splashi+ng against his face like ice A little eunuch ran over with an uui sih the downpour The little eunuch didn’t dare chase after Lou Zigui, but could only shoot the head eunuch a helpless glance

Fang Tang had exited the Hall as well by now, followed by two eunuchs with a corpse in tow “It’s raining again?” he asked

The head eunuch quickly spoke up “General Fang, Supreme Commander didn’t let anyone wait upon him with an umbrella”

Fang Tang carelessly waved a hand “It’s only a bit of rain, what do we need u a battle to put umbrellas over our heads”

“……” said the head eunuch But nobody’s fighting anyone right now?

Fang Tang had gone out the gates before he turned back and added, “Your capital city has too many rainy days”

The head eunuch simply smiled The skies themselves decided to rain What does that have to do with me?

Ning Xiaoyao stood in the covered ay leading to Supreme Splendor Hall, her head raised towards the skies She furrowed her brows and asked, “Is the sky leaking? Why is it raining again?”

Shadowgale had no words to say either If he told the skies to stop raining, would they listen to him?

“He’s only gone to interrogate a prisoner,” Ning Xiaoyao turned back to talking about Suprenored the sky “Why is Supre? Just how many questions does he have to ask?”

Shadowgale seized the chance and asked, “Your Majesty, how about you interrogate that Northern Hu woman, too?”

“What a Xiaoyao questioned

“This servant thinks that the woman can’t be anyone ordinary, if she can stay by the Grand Preceptor’s side”

“That so?” Ning Xiaoyao wrinkled her brows “I just know she has no huerine? She wanted to kill her servant girl just because she lost a few hairs froit, it’s a perfectly normal part of human metabolism to lose hairs She’s uncivilized and her heart’s foul to boot Women like that are hopeless”

Shadowgale felt that he was pretty hopeless, too What doesto do if he could never understand what His Majesty was saying?

“Huh? Supre Xiaoyao exclaiui stepping in through the courtyard gates My hearing’s not as good as His Majesty, either, he thought despondently

Lou Zigui strode over with quick steps, shaking the raindrops off his clothes “The eunuch at the gates said Your Majesty had urgent business to see this subject?”

“That’s right, ah,” Ning Xiaoyao replied “I’ for you so we can eat dinner”

“I’ll go change er,” Lou Zigui replied with a smile

“Okay,” Ning Xiaoyao reached out a hand to touch Lou Zigui’s face His body temperature was normal, so it looked like a little rain wouldn’t hurt hi Xiaoyao said in delight, “Windy, let’s prepare to start the one to treat née Qin onceby now

When Lou Zigui reached his rooht over hot water, which he poured into a large wooden tub The stea the entire rooui ducked his head beneath the hot water as well until his entire body arain Only then did he feel a little better He next splashed his face ater while he soaked, lost in thought There was no way now to rescue theModou had around 18 separate hunting grounds, soreat deserts It would be hard enough to track down the man, much less save him

Troops and horses couldn’t leave the pass without an imperial decree, an iron rule that cut off all possibility of rescue As the water gradually cooled, Lou Zigui was still lost in thought How ’s words were true? Without concrete proof, all he had were her words and a few suspicions on his own side Could he be certain that the late emperor really had sold the, could he find the people who accoht Crow Pass instead? At this, Lou Zigui recalled the head steward of the Xie Clan once again

Meanwhile, Head Steward Xie Laibao was shaking in bed When he saw the rain outside his , he shouted at his wife, “Can’t you see it’s raining? Close the ”

Head Steward Xie’s as one of the older female head servants at the Grand Preceptor’s estate She spentIn her youth, Lady wang had bestoith the na, so everyone at the estate called her Sister-in-Law Tang when they saw her

She rolled her eyes and told Xie Laibao, “It’s good that neither you nor Second Steward Xie can budge right now because of your injuries There’severyone alarmed The two of you should just stay at home–I think that’s the safest place of all”
