Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Assassination (3)

Dugu Chen, upon hearing his woman had been ill for two days, employed the fastest Qinggong he'd ever used in his life to rush back home.

"Wife, wife," he urgently called out as soon as he entered the great hall, but was met with an echo from the empty house.

"Prince," Yingsu, who was on duty in a side hall, responded to the Prince's call and hurriedly made his way to the main hall.

"Where is the princess?"

"The princess has already left the estate. She went to the tea garden at the foot of Bodhi Temple," Yingsu replied cautiously, seeing the Prince's dark expression.

"When did she leave?"

"Reporting to the Prince, it has been almost an hour and a half," Yingsu said. As soon as he finished speaking, the Prince turned and dashed out of the manor, with Xuan Yue just arriving to see the Prince's figure flying out of the estate. She then dutifully followed suit.
