How much did Qu Fulan want to say?
Her prepared answer for Heir Pei was, "The kind that takes an entire hour to explain."
That couldn't be explained simply in a pavilion.
She would surely have to move to the study room for a detailed discussion.
Qu Fulan thought the progress of events would be like this.
Even the four major guards thought the same; they all believed the time had come, each ready and alert, awaiting the final outcome to uncover the mystery in their hearts and bring some conclusion to the situation.
Because of the Princely Heir's presence, this time they didn't dare to idly gossip outside, afraid that the Princely Heir might overhear.
But no one expected that just as Qu Fulan was about to speak, a voice suddenly came.
"Young Master, there's an urgent matter!"
It was the Hidden Guard, who, upon reaching the Young Master, glanced at Qu Fulan, who sensibly got up and excused herself.
Soon after, Heir Pei left and didn't return until the next morning.
