Xiao Ziwu's pupils constricted, and the chill emanating from him was more terrifying than the winter rain and snow! He asked coldly, "Where is the body?"
Chang Wang suddenly knelt on the ground, his voice trembling with sobs, and said, "Your Highness, please don't worry about that fish! Miss Shangguan is heartless. She will soon marry into Yuqing Palace as a concubine. She told me this morning herself, and I dare not utter a single falsehood!" He felt sorry for His Highness and was indignant at Shangguan Tianyun's heartlessness.
Marrying?
How could this be?
Xiao Ziwu's mind was filled with obscurity and confusion.
He had been working tirelessly for days, and after receiving the news, he traveled thousands of miles to capture Xiao Zuo in Jing County. On the way, he encountered a masked man and had a life-or-death battle. He was exhausted, but he forced himself to come and see if Xiao Yu'er was alright.
Now, this news has stung me.
He staggered back several steps, his head throbbing with pain, and slammed his palms heavily on the desk.
She had recently snuggled into his arms like a pitiful kitten, sobbing pitifully, leaving him at a loss for what to do, yet secretly delighted.
But now, she's saying she wants to marry Xiao Ziyan?
Didn't she dislike Xiao Ziyan?
Even Xiao Ziyan's fall from his horse was orchestrated by her!
What exactly is true and what is false in her actions?
"Your Highness, where are you going?" Chang Wang stood up anxiously, his eyes already bloodshot, yet he still insisted on doing something pointless: "What you should be doing now is resting!"
"I'm going to find her and ask her about it."
"Why would Your Highness still seek out such a heartless and ungrateful person?!"
"Don't say that about her anymore." Xiao Ziwu realized that what he had said earlier about the fish being dead was a lie. "Quickly put the fish back in its place. If I don't see it when I return to the palace, you can go to the Department of Punishments to receive your punishment."
Knowing he couldn't hide it from His Highness, Changwang reluctantly replied, "Yes." He finally gave in, saying, "Why don't you rest for the night? You can go see her tomorrow."
Xiao Ziwu went around to the back of the cabinet, took out the human figure sculpture that he had carved a few days ago, and gently stroked the delicate eyebrows and eyes on the wooden carving. His tired body and mind finally relaxed a little.
He stared at it quietly for a moment before putting it back in the cabinet, muttering, "I can't rest until I find out the truth."
Changwang had never seen His Highness speak so sternly before, and he frowned and sighed.
"well……"
They could only watch as His Highness dragged his weary figure away quickly.
