Imperial Bodyguard Zhou looked away in an awkward manner.
Zhao Xuanjiang relaxed his frown. "Retreat."
Imperial Bodyguard Zhou was dawdling. He hesitated but eventually retreated to the door obediently. He stood there and could not help but turn to look. He suddenly felt like he was a wife that had lost his husband's love.
However, this Crown Prince's new love was insensible. Who had no idea that His Highness's right hand was crippled? She sure was insensitive.
Xie Qiao's body still felt heavy after drinking the tea.
Soon, she fell asleep.
The noisy ghouls were gone as soon as the sky turned bright the next morning.
The sun was shining in the academy. The rope that was tied around her was released, and a blanket was covering her. She wondered when the Crown Prince had left as he was nowhere to be seen.
After washing up, Xie Qiao walked to the eastern courtyard.
The overseer who passed past her was strangely looking at her.
