CHAPTER 504 1 : THIS PRINCE LOVES HER UNEDITED (1/2)

“We will need to check the household registry and records of the various provinces. This subordinate doesn’t have the power to do so; we’ll need to ask Prince Hao.”

Su Xi-er nodded. “I’ll let him know.” She then boarded the horse carriage and headed straight for the Prince Hao Residence.

When she arrived at the Prince Hao Residence, she learned that something had happened in the Dragon Heaven Palace, and Pei Qianhao had entered the palace. When night fell, a heavy rain poured, but he was yet to be back.

Getting anxious, Su Xi-er immediately ordered for the guards to prepare a horse carriage for her to rush to the imperial palace.

Meanwhile, at the Commandery Prince Residence, Xie Yun already had his arm bandaged, and he was currently reading a book. It was neither about military strategies nor philosophical classics; it was a play script from among the commoners. There were various stories of men and women’s joys and sorrows, as well as their partings and reunions.

One of the stories at the beginning was about a wealthy young miss and an impoverished man. After reading more than 10 pages, his gaze landed at a particular part, and his fingers stiffened. The man resorted to doing things by force, and the women subsequently committed suicide, causing the man to be in extreme pain and grief.

Xie Yun’s breathing hitched. Silly Zhen Yu, could she have…

At that thought, he could no longer remain seated. He immediately called for a horse carriage and avoided Pei Qianhao’s covert guards as he rushed into the mountains that night.

Inside the wooden house, Zhen Yu was lying in bed and fast asleep. The nourishment from the past consecutive days had resulted in her cheeks to become much rosy. However, her eyebrows were scrunched up in her slumber.

Xie Yun stood beside the bed for a long while. His heart felt a twinge of pain when he saw her furrowed eyebrows, and he carefully helped her to smoothen them out.

“Brother Hu, Brother Hu…” Zhen Yu suddenly called out in her sleep.
