章 824: Chapter 824: Take Down Immediately Upon Appearance_1

"Shopping? Just the two of them?"

The man, wearing imperial robes with lightly graying temples, sat in a wide chair, asking the person below.

"To answer Your Majesty, yes, just Prince Mo and that woman, the two of them," the eunuch replied, bowing his head low.

"Prince Mo accompanied that woman to many places including Jade Pavilion, Wenshang Pavilion and others, buying quite a few things. Everything was sent to Prince Mo's Mansion, as if that woman is residing in Prince Mo's Mansion."

"As if?"

From the lengthy report, the Emperor picked out two words.

What does 'as if' mean? When did his people start being so unreliable in their tasks? Either it is, or it isn't; where does this 'as if' come from?

"To reply to Your Majesty, the messenger who returned reported that the items were delivered to Prince Mo's Mansion. However, as for the woman, she did not return to the mansion with Prince Mo; instead, she... disappeared within Shaohua City. Our men... were unable to follow her."
