CHAPTER 371 (2): SHORT-LIVED

She was able to make out Tan Ge’s red and swollen eyes, making it obvious that she had been crying.

Su Xi-er pushed Pei Qianhao away, but because of their vigorous activities just now, she was a bit unstable on her feet. Pei Qianhao noticed this, and immediately came forward to support her. It’s my fault for not controlling my strength. I must have hurt her in some way.

“Tan Ge, what’s wrong?” Su Xi-er felt a sense of dread washing over her as a nagging feeling continued to pull at her heart.

Tan Ge broke out in tears again. “Chao Mu is dead. Shu Xian has carried her away, and I don’t know where he went.”

“What?!” Su Xi-er raised her voice. Chao Mu is dead…

She remembered that Chao Mu had told her that they would go to the Imperial Kitchen from 9 pm to 11 pm in order to collect dumplings. Yet, 11 pm has already passed, and Chao Mu is dead.

Why did she die? How did she die?

Su Xi-er broke free of Pei Qianhao. “Which direction did Shu Xian go in?”

Tan Ge pointed in front of her. “He left the Imperial Library. Quickly go and find him. I’m afraid that Shu Xian is taking things too hard, and thinking of committing suicide.” Tan Ge anxiously walked forward.

I have already killed Chao Mu. I don’t want to kill Shu Xian too.

Su Xi-er also ran over, but she felt her legs buckle after taking only two steps.

A pair of long arms reached out from behind her and embraced her before she could hit the ground, and the voice of their owner rang out. “Your body is weak right now; you should lie in your room first. This Prince will handle Chao Mu’s matter.”

Su Xi-er was carried in bridal style by Pei Qianhao, not giving her a chance to refuse.

After entering the room, Pei Qianhao glanced at the water pot before gently putting her on the bed.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Su Xi-er grabbed him. “Chao Mu’s death definitely has something to do with me.”
