Several of the princely heirs initially left with solemn expressions, and Qu Fulan assumed they had gone to discuss strategy. After all, with Heir Pei absent, their original game plan would likely need to change.
However, she didn't expect that, in the end, they would invite her to join them.
Qu Fulan was taken to the private grounds where Prince An and the others were convening.
Upon seeing Heir Pei's absence, Qu Fulan noticed them wandering around like headless flies, and she couldn't help but offer some comfort, "There's no need for you to worry, Heir Pei mentioned he would return as quickly as possible before leaving. You know his style—if he couldn't return, he would have notified us ahead of time."
Indeed, if Heir Pei couldn't return, he would certainly inform in advance and make all necessary arrangements.
If he doesn't say, it means he will return, but when exactly is uncertain.
