After exiting the main hall, Duan Yue looked up at the remnant rays of the sunset. He then walked toward the Taiji Palace.
Compared to the Taiji Palace, he actually liked living in the somewhat remote Nanqiao Palace.
At least the Nanqiao Palace didn’t give him that feeling of emptiness like the Taiji Palace.
That Taiji Palace was too big and empty! He truly didn’t like it much.
He ambled along the tall palace walls.
!!
He was not in a hurry at all, so he was also walking extremely slow.
Suddenly, a person who was walking quickly with a lowered head turned the corner and nearly bumped into him.
Duan Yue swiftly retreated backwards to avoid this crash.
The person was startled. When he looked up, his eyes shone as he exclaimed, “Y-Your Highness the Chen Prince!”
Duan Yue swept him a glance and realized it was the young royal guard that had escorted him back to the palace with Wu Yong.
This person’s clumsiness made him feel a bit annoyed.
“Your Highness the Chen Prince, are you returning to the Taiji Palace? How about allowing this humble one to escort you back…”
Duan Yue flashed past him and drifted away.
With his speed, it was impossible for anyone to catch up to him if he wanted to avoid them.
Therefore, the young royal guard could only remain where he was and hang his head despondently.
He, he had only wanted to e-escort His Highness! Was this also wrong?
—-My Qiao’s section break—-
Feng Chen had guessed correctly. Before evening fell, Shuntian Prefecture’s Prefecture Lord Geng Pengcheng was anxious to confess after the incessant torment on his soul.
Qiao Mu took him out for the storage talisman and spoke coldly, “Say it.”
She was already very annoyed, wasting almost a day’s worth of time on this old geezer. She loathed to continue haggling with him.
“I’m giving you one last chance. Clearly tell me everything you know.”
“Spare my life, Crown Prince Consort, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Could you first remove these purple flames from this humble one?”
He was about to get burned to death!
This purple fire tormented him to no end!
In the end, even his resilient willpower could not withstand it any longer, and he could only yield to this little demoness.
“How dare a prisoner demand conditions from this crown prince?” Mo Lian sneered and then lit up a cluster of purple flames at his fingertip.
His intention to increase the intensity of the flames immediately scared Geng Pengcheng’s spiritual conscious apparition into screaming.
“I-I’ll say it, I’ll say it.” Geng Pengcheng knew that this matter wasn’t something he could conceal anymore on his own.
Therefore, he braced himself and stammered under Mo Lian’s scrutiny, “The crown prince consort has, has guessed correctly. This humble one has indeed been carrying out Master’s orders. B-But this humble one is not entirely sure why Master is set on targeting the crown prince consort.”
“Who is your Master?” Qiao Mu felt like her heart was about to jump out when she asked this question.
Soon, it was soon. Just one more step until she could find out exactly who it was that was intent on making her grow up the way they wanted in her previous life.
This question that troubled her for so many years was about to get answered…
“I do not know my Master’s name.” Geng Pengcheng’s statement instantly made Qiao Mu’s heart drop.
Seeing her displeasure, Geng Pengcheng quickly added, “But he is definitely a man.”
“Even though I do not know his age and looks, his voice sounds rather young.”
