The imperial guard bowed and paid his respects . "As subordinates, we don’t dare to gossip about Prince Hao's affairs . " I am just an imperial guard, and Prince Hao hates people who are garrulous . Not to mention, even we are unclear about this matter .
Nodding his head, Yun Ruofeng didn't make things difficult for the imperial guard and turned to head for the second floor . As he began to pass by Pei Qianhao’s room, the doors were flung open, revealing the man himself sporting a cold smile and narrowed eyes .
"Prince Yun, you elude this Prince . What do you intend to do by relentlessly chasing after this Prince's maidservant?"
Yun Ruofeng smiled . “Prince Hao, you interfered with Nanzhao’s matters, and this Prince has disrupted your maidservant, so let’s consider us even . ” He had directly admitted that he was indeed relentlessly chasing after Prince Hao’s maidservant, and this caused extreme displeasure in Prince Hao .
How can I let others hanker after my maidservant? Especially when it’s someone like Yun Ruofeng who gently smiles all day . Normal women like this kind of men best .
"Prince Yun is indeed honest, but this Prince should make things clear first . Stay far away from this Prince's maidservant in the future, or else…"

"Or else what? Is Beimin going to start a war with Nanzhao over a mere maidservant?"
Pei Qianhao smirked . "Not a war, but doesn’t Prince Yun understand what this Prince means already? People in high positions have somewhat similar personalities . It's obvious no matter how well you try to hide it . "
Yun Ruofeng narrowed his eyes . In this world, only the powerful can understand the powerful .
"Prince Hao, that's too strong a statement . You have given this Prince much face by coming to Nanzhao this time . Take a good rest; this Prince will leave Moon County today . "
He was obviously implying that he wouldn’t approach Su Xi-er again .

Pei Qianhao watched Yun Ruofeng's back as he left, a tinge of maleficence rising in his eyes . No one can match up to me in this world . As long as I want something, no one can snatch it from me, regardless of who they are . The last thing I lack is tricks .
Yun Ruofeng's gentle countenance was immediately dropped the moment he returned to his room . Sitting on a chair, he lightly tapped his fingers against the tabletop as his brows furrowed .
Su Xi-er's words lingered in his mind . He should die . He does not deserve to be called a human .
If Ning Rulan is still alive, would she say these words to me too? “Yun Ruofeng, you should die! You are a beast, and do not deserve to be human…”
Foolish women like Née Li exist in large numbers in this world, but Ning Rulan will never be one of them .
My meeting with Ning Rulan was ultimately a mistake . A rare slip revealed an expression of pain in his eyes, but dissipated as soon as it appeared .

Even if I could rewind time and make my choice again, I would still kill Ning Rulan without hesitation .
Knock knock— The sound of someone at the door was soon followed up by the voice of the guard from the Prince Yun Residence .
"Prince Yun, something happened in the palace . "
Yun Ruofeng moved towards the room door and opened it . "Immediately prepare the horse carriage and return to the capital . "
He had originally planned to stay for a few more days, but recent events had caused him to change his mind . It just so happened that this ‘incident’ was a convenient excuse for him to return .
"Prince Yun, the matter concerns the Eldest Imperial Princess and His Majesty . It's an emergency," the imperial guard elaborated .
With a placid expression, Yun Ruofeng made a hand gesture and replied, "Okay . This Prince will settle it . Depart for the capital immediately . "
The imperial guard bowed and received the order before he promptly headed towards the inn's stable .
Yun Ruofeng swiftly exited his room and headed down the stairs . Just as he began to descend, he came face-to-face with Su Xi-er . She was holding onto a tray containing a teapot and cups .
Even though Su Xi-er saw him, she didn't speak a single word before heading straight to Pei Qianhao's room . It was as though she treated Yun Ruofeng like he didn’t even exist .
Standing in front of Pei Qianhao’s room, Su Xi-er could only call out since her hands were full . "Prince Hao, the tea is here . May I come in now?"
