CHAPTER 328 (1): HE LOVES YOU

“Prince Hao, what you said makes sense . Besides, if even you didn’t know about the engagement, it must’ve just been a fanciful story . ” Su Xi-er tried to step away from Pei Qianhao as she spoke .

However, the latter held onto her tightly . “You can’t believe what others say; you can only trust this Prince . Do you understand?” He asked her .  People say that women tend to believe everything that they’re told, and even though I don’t believe that Su Xi-er is like that, I would rather be safe than sorry .

Su Xi-er nodded . “I will only listen to you, Prince Hao . ” He won’t let me go if I don’t agree with him .  Su Xi-er knew that she should act according to the situation, so she smiled and nodded .

Pei Qianhao released her only after she agreed . “A matter in the army barracks requires this Prince’s attention, so I will be away for the next few days . Be careful with everything, and find Yuchi Mo if anything happens . ”

Su Xi-er bowed in respect . “Many thanks, Prince Hao . ”

While she was still mid-bow and facing the ground, she felt a light knock on her head . Pei Qianhao then walked out of the room with a sulky look in his face, not saying a word .

Su Xi-er raised her head and rubbed where she had been hit .  It’s difficult to guess what Prince Hao is thinking . He doesn’t like it when I thank him, so should I just not say anything in the future? But then if I don’t thank him, won’t it seem like he’s obligated to do things for me? It’s not like he’s my family .

Once her thoughts reached this point, Su Xi-er’s heart beat painfully .  My family . . .

After Pei Qianhao left the room, he pushed open the door to the book depository and looked around .  ‘Poetry Classics’ is usually kept somewhere to the left of the depository .  

Shortly after, he found the book he was looking for, and began to flip through it until he found the pages with folded corners with the words written on them .

Pei Qianhao immediately put the Poetry Classics book into his sleeve and walked out of the book depository, heading out of the Imperial Library .

Just as he was about to exit the Imperial Library, he heard some soft rustling sounds near the palace path . His brows furrowed as he harshly called out . “Come out!”

The surroundings became silent, but no one showed themselves .

Pei Qianhao tilted his head slightly, a frigid gaze in his eyes . “Do you need this Prince to invite you?”

His voice was low but resounding, and before long, a slim and svelte woman appeared on the palace path . She bowed to Pei Qianhao . “This servant pays her respects to Prince Hao . ”

The woman was Tan Ge . She had only seen Pei Qianhao once at the Pei Residence .

Even though I could never forget his face, how could Prince Hao recognise someone like me? That there was a woman called Tan Ge who stayed in the Beauty Palace for three whole years? All those years I was at the Beauty Palace, it would be said that he never even looked at me once .

“A palace maid of the Imperial Library?” Pei Qianhao’s eyes slightly narrowed, his voice becoming even deeper .

Tan Ge nodded . “This servant’s name is Tan Ge . ”

Pei Qianhao definitely didn’t remember this name, but he knew of the Tan Residence .  More than two years ago, I took a daughter from the Tan Residence into the Beauty Palace . Is this palace maid the same woman?

The Beauty Palace was dissolved, but now she’s serving as a palace maid in the Imperial Library?

Pei Qianhao’s voice was cold . “With how much it has declined, the Tan Residence doesn’t have the power to let you enter the imperial palace, much less recommend you to a position in the Imperial Library . Who did it?”

“Commandery Prince Xie . ” Tan Ge didn’t dare to lie .

Pei Qianhao sneered, a subtle glint flickering across his eyes .  I didn’t think that Xie Yun would get involved in this . He is sure poking his nose in where he shouldn’t be . Is he planning to make a move on Su Xi-er?
