CHAPTER 421 (2): AWKWARD

Su Xi-er tried to calm herself, but couldn’t help but chuckle as she spoke. “You don’t have to pay attention to them. It came straight from the horse’s mouth, so it’s fine having the commoners talk about it; it’ll just increase the liveliness.”

Wu Ling’s eyes widened in shock, completely forgetting about the maintaining the disposition of a commander. I didn’t expect that Prince Hao said it himself! I have always thought that people in power value their reputations.

Seeing Wu Ling’s expression, Pei Qianhao’s expression darkened. Even if I lack experience, I was able to make yesterday a comfortable affair for Su Xi-er after studying the medical book. I have improved, which is why I’m fine with that news spreading.

Though it was true that he didn’t care about the matter, he was annoyed about Wu Ling barging into the main courtyard with a dazed expression early in the morning.

“Get out.” Pei Qianhao waved his hand. He then picked up the white bowl from the table, scooping out a spoonful of porridge before feeding it to Su Xi-er.

Wu Ling shivered. He behaved so coldly towards me, but as soon as he was facing the Princess Consort, his demeanour drastically changed. This change is really frightening!

However, I still can’t leave. I still have something that I need to do. Wu Ling took out the golden hairpin from his sleeve, the bloodstains having already been cleaned off by him. “Prince Hao, this subordinate found this golden hairpin in the grass in the backyard yesterday. It’s the Princess Consort’s jewellery.”

Pei Qianhao’s eyes darkened. Su Xi-er stood up from the chair and walked over to take the hairpin. “Some things happened yesterday, which resulted in me pulling out this golden hairpin and throwing it in the grass.”

She had pulled out the hairpin to stab herself in order to remain conscious, throwing it on the ground so that Pei Qianhao would be able to find her. However, despite his diligent preparations, the man in black had managed to throw a wrench in their plans.

However, the result is the same. The cliff was extremely high up, and the face of the mountain was extremely sheer. Yun Ruofeng is undoubtedly dead after falling from such a height.
