Bab 158: Reorganized Truth

Prince Rui knit his brows and responded, "Well...We were all together, for the most part. I was mainly focusing on monitoring my sister, while others lingered at stalls of their interest as we moved along, occasionally coming together to chat...That was until the Emperor arrived to pick up Noble consort Lei...and Prince Yi also left after them." Prince Rui finished with a seemingly perplexed expression over the interest in their movements.

"I was feeling unwell so I decided to return home to rest at that point. I also apologize for my absence this morning, I was away getting some fresh air in the forest to aid my recovery. It was only when I returned to my manor that I was informed by the servants that you were looking for me...How may I be of service, Your Majesty?" Prince Yi finished with a curt bow in the Empress dowager's direction.
