CHAPTER 373 (2): ANXIOUS

Imperial Physician Zhao then took the pot with him as he left the room.

Just as he left, Grand Tutor Kong hastily rushed into the room and said in a hushed voice, “Prince Hao is injured.”

Su Xi-er immediately tensed up. “Where is he?”

“In the Dragon Heaven Palace.” Grand Tutor Kong’s expression was grave. I followed the Minister of Rites out of the palace after the banquet, but I didn’t expect something so dire to happen in the Imperial Library in the short time that I was gone.

Su Xi-er couldn’t even bother to be concerned about her aching body as she dashed out of the room.

Just as she walked out of the Imperial Library, she saw Tan Ge walking over with a face full of grief, but Su Xi-er didn’t have the time to pay attention to her. Her heart was only consumed with worry for Pei Qianhao. Why did Pei Qianhao get hurt? If it was a small injury, Grand Tutor Kong wouldn’t have known about it.

As Tan Ge watched Su Xi-er’s rapidly departing figure, she thought about everything that had occurred tonight. Perhaps if I hadn’t acted, none of this would’ve happened. Chao Mu would still be alive, and Shu Xian wouldn’t be missing.

She herself had tried to search for Shu Xian, and Pei Qianhao had also sent a search party. However, Shu Xian seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth, taking Chao Mu with him.

Due to a lack of options, the Imperial Army guards could only begin checking every nook and cranny they found, but they still didn’t find any sign of the two. It was as if they had vanished into thin air.

A frigid wind blew past as Tan Ge stood rooted to the spot in a daze. Only when Grand Tutor Kong called to her did she return to her senses.

“The Imperial Library is no longer peaceful. Be more cautious during the next few days.”

Seeing the worry in Grand Tutor Kong’s eyes, sorrow and crushing guilt washed over her like a torrent.

“Quickly return to your room to rest. Mayhem is going to break out in the imperial palace tonight.” Grand Tutor Kong hastily headed out of the Imperial Library. Su Xi-er won’t be able to enter the Dragon Heaven Palace without me.

Before Tan Ge could even reply, she saw Grand Tutor Kong leaving in a hurry. Afterwards, she saw Imperial Physician Zhao carrying… a pot.
