CHAPTER 259 (2): MET HER




Just as Pei Qianhao was going to barge his way in, Qin Ling arrived . He had heard from his subordinates that Pei Qianhao had arrived and hurried over as quickly as he could . After paying his respects, he started to speak in earnest . “Since Prince Hao is determined to enter, us guards are naturally unable to stop you . ” Having said that, Qin Ling turned to the imperial guard beside him . “Let him in . ”

“Imperial Guard Qin, this…”

“Prince Yun has cordoned off the streets to find out who killed Commander Wei . Do you think Prince Hao would be the murderer? Let him in immediately . ” Qin Ling then carefully studied Pei Qianhao’s expression and found that the latter’s eyes were bright, his expression calm .

Pei Qianhao shot a glance at Qin Ling and entered the area, heading towards the Literary Association .

Afterwards, Qin Ling immediately commanded his subordinate by the side, “Head to the Prince Yun Residence immediately and tell Prince Yun that Prince Hao is heading towards the Literary Association . ”

“Yes, this subordinate shall head over right now . ” The imperial guard then mounted his horse and cracked his whip before speeding off .

Just as he watched the horse disappear into the distance, another subordinate approached Qin Ling and said softly, “This subordinate is deserving of death . The woman’s husband has been killed, but due to this subordinate’s negligence, the child has been carried away amidst the chaos . ”





Even without him explicitly stating who he was talking about, Qin Ling knew who his subordinate was referring to - the woman whom Commander Wei had loved .

“What about that woman? Is she willing to guard Commander Wei’s tomb?”

“She was finally willing after being threatened with the lives of her maiden family . However… Commander Wei’s corpse was brought back to his hometown yesterday . The woman agreed to guard his tomb this morning, just to run headfirst into the wall and kill herself in front of Commander Wei’s body . ”

Hearing the guard’s words, Qin Ling felt pain in his heart . Commander Wei’s soul would definitely not be at peace if he hears about this in the underworld . However, we cannot defy the orders of Prince Yun .

“Should we inform Prince Yun about this?”

Faced with his subordinate’s question, Qin Ling came to his own decision . “Don’t inform him about it . Just say that the child has been killed . Don’t inform him about the woman’s death either . This matter shall be kept a secret between me and you . ”

“This subordinate will definitely keep my lips sealed . ”

Qin Ling dismissed him with a wave of his hand . “Continue guarding the streets . ”

His subordinate replied with an affirmative and stood guard at the edge of the street .

Meanwhile, Pei Qianhao had already arrived before the Literary Association and knocked on the front door . The old man who answered the door didn’t recognise Pei Qianhao and told him outright, " The Literary Association is not open today . Come again another day . ”


Pei Qianhao’s patience had already been running short before arriving at the Literary Association . He had to see Su Xi-er as soon as possible . As such, he raised a hand and pushed on the door with enough force to have the old man retreat .

Not knowing who the person before him was, the old man felt very anxious as he quickly locked the association’s doors and followed behind Pei Qianhao .





Entering the inner hall, the old man shouted, “Come quickly, a man has barged in!”

Instantly, many scholars appeared in the inner hall, staring at Pei Qianhao with varying degrees of caution .

Not long after, Guan Xiang appeared as well . After seeing Pei Qianhao, Guan Xiang was briefly shocked before bowing to greet him . “This peasant pays his respects to Prince Hao of Beimin . ”

The shock value of the four words, ‘Prince Hao of Beimin’, was extremely high . The caution in the eyes of the scholars quickly became stunned surprise .

“Where is this Prince’s maidservant?”

Hearing the words ‘this Prince’s maidservant’, Guan Xiang’s eyes were filled with doubts . “Miss is Prince Hao’s maidservant?”

“Where is she?” Pei Qianhao’s patience was on its last legs as he directed his oppressive demeanour towards Guan Xiang .

“In the secret chamber . Prince Hao, please follow this peasant . ” Guan Xiang could see the nervousness in the depths of Pei Qianhao’s eyes . Since he came here, he must have a way to save Miss!

Guan Xiang dismissed the rest of the scholars and brought Pei Qianhao into the secret chamber .

Many lit candles burned in the secret chamber, their light brightly illuminating the entire tunnel .

Pei Qianhao entered the chamber to see a petite figure lying on a wooden bed, covered by a grey blanket .

He swiftly walked towards the bed and saw that familiar face before him . Her original rosy face was now extremely pallid, without the slightest hint of pink on her lips .

Pei Qianhao wanted to lift his hand to caress her face, but he had more important things to do now . He immediately broke off a small piece of the ginseng to place in her mouth .
