Bab 65: Lurking

"I am just dizzy because I have not properly rested ever since we left Lu Shan."

XuanRong stared at Xu Ji An and spoke, "As much as This Lady wants to talk with His Highness, This Lady's body is a bit weak. Would His Highness allow This Lady to return to my courtyard and rest?"

Xu Ji An could only nod and agree.

When XuanRong walked away, looking weak and exhausted, he could not help but stare at her back, following her in his gaze until she and her maidservant could no longer be seen.

"Is Your Highness enjoying the banquet?" XuanFei suddenly moved closer and asked him, trying to strike a conversation.

Xu Ji An only mumbled "Mmm.." before walking away, leaving XuanFei who was standing bitterly on the center aisle.

Without waiting for XuanLi, he moved towards the garden's gate and left the Prime Minister's residence without looking back.

"Return to the palace!"
