CHAPTER 421 (1): AWKWARD

Concerned about her body, he made sure to move slowly, only speeding up after some time had passed. The temperature in the room rose correspondingly, sharply contrasting with the frigid temperatures outside of it.

On a small path in the backyard of the Prince Hao Residence, Wu Ling had finished dealing with the guards that had fallen unconscious on the ground. Luckily, they only fainted, and their lives are not in danger.

He was making his way through the courtyard when he noticed something shiny in the grass. Picking it up, he realised that the bloodstained hairpin in his hands belonged to Su Xi-er!

He felt a brief panic, but when he heard from his subordinates that Pei Qianhao had already entered the main courtyard, he quickly calmed down. After stowing the golden hairpin away in his sleeve, he slowly made his way to the courtyard.

However, he came to a realisation before he actually made it there that had him stopping in his tracks. It is their nuptial night. I shall give the golden hairpin to the Princess Consort tomorrow.

At this moment, a guard walked over while speaking to one of his peers. “Prince Hao has actually never touched the women in the Beauty Palace. He has protected his chastity for 25 years.” Having not studied literature, his use of the four-word idiom was flawed.

Wu Ling’s eyelid twitched upon hearing this, and he turned around to stop them. “Be mindful of your mouth. As subordinates, we can’t discuss Prince Hao’s matters.”

The two were shocked at seeing Wu Ling, and repeatedly nodded. “This subordinate won’t talk about it anymore. Please forgive me, Commander Wu.”

Wu Ling nodded. “Carefully patrol the area. Don’t let your guard down.”

“This subordinate obeys the order.” The two guards immediately became solemn and went on with their jobs.
