The Emperor was enraged, and several of the Imperial Forbidden Guards trembled while lying on the ground.
Previously, in the entire Imperial court, only the War Prince dared to disregard the Emperor. Now, there’s another Madam Situ, more problematic is that she’s also the War Prince’s woman. This is sothing the Emperor finds hardest to tolerate.
Staying silent while lying on the ground wasn’t a solution either. One of the Imperial Forbidden Guards braced himself and said tremblingly, "Empero...Emperor, how about I go to the War Prince’s Mansion and try to bring those young ladies back as soon as possible?"
They feared that if they delayed even a step, the ladies would be defiled, and by then, it would be beyond redy.
To provoke a war with the neighboring country for no reason, they felt this was unjust to the Emperor; the War Prince hadn’t anticipated this, yet got himself involved.
After careful consideration, the Emperor could only resort to this approach, waving his hand in anger: "Go, go."
Hoping everything would still be in ti, among these won, there was even a neighboring country’s princess!
"Yes, I take my leave."
Several of the Imperial Forbidden Guards hurriedly rushed toward the War Prince’s Mansion.
The War Prince’s Mansion, west wing room.
Zi Xia looked at Situtu Xueer with a confused face: "Miss, did you drink with the Prince last night? How co I didn’t know?"
"Yes."
"Where? I have no recollection of it."
"You were asleep, of course, you don’t rember."
"No, I rember, I slept very late last night."
"Exactly, last night, I couldn’t sleep in the latter half of the night, so I went to drink with the Prince."
"What? You’re a young lady, not resting properly in the middle of the night, going to find a man to drink with, don’t you think it’s dangerous?" Zi Xia widened her eyes in disbelief at Xueer.
Xuexue laughed upon hearing this, such concern led to chaos.
She knocked Zi Xia lightly on the head: "Don’t forget, the Prince isn’t just anyone, he’s your lady’s husband."
Only then did Zi Xia realize, rubbing her head where she was knocked, and laughed foolishly: "Due to my anxiety, I forgot Miss has a husband."
"At critical tis, you mustn’t forget, this could cause big trouble."
"I understand."
"Hmm."
At this mont, a maid rushed in from outside to report.
"Madam Situ, soone from the Imperial Palace has arrived, they’re waiting in the main hall!"
Xueer was taken aback for a mont: "People from the Imperial Palace? Why not report it to the Prince, why tell ?"
The maid looked aggrieved: "The visitor specifically nad and insisted on seeing Madam, and seed very urgent."
"Oh!"
Xuexue exchanged glances with Zi Xia, wondering what happened. Why had soone from the Imperial Palace co looking for her?
Xuexue put down her teacup and stood up from her seat: "Let’s go and have a look."
After taking a few steps, she turned back to the young maid and said: "Quickly go and report this matter to the Prince."
The young maid agreed with a "Yes."
Main hall.
Several Imperial Forbidden Guards were pacing restlessly beside the seats, looking very tense.
As soon as they saw Xuexue bringing the maid in, they hurriedly went forward to et her: "Madam Situ."
"And you are...?"
They wore the clothes of the Imperial Forbidden Guards, but their faces were unfamiliar, and Xuexue said she didn’t recognize them.
"Madam Situ, you really are forgetful. We are the guards who brought the young ladies here this morning."
"Oh, so it’s you."
"Yes."
"What is it? Does the Emperor know that we are short of people at Qinger Building and want to send more young ladies over?"
