“Who did you say Little Bell went to find?”

“That … after master went to find the third prince, the Lou residence received news of your disappearance and we all went out to search for you. Not too long later, we found out that little Bell had … gone to the Night Prince’s residence to find the Night Prince. Afterwards, we don’t know what she said to the Night Prince, but the Night Prince then left with a servant to the outskirts of the city. He then came back, but the servant by his side … didn’t look like a man.”

Lou Qingwu’s hand on her her book didn’t move.

After a long time, she looked down and carelessly flipped a page, “Do you know why she went to find him?”

“I’m guessing that she probably went to tell him about master’s disappearance. But that’s just so strange? We told her to stay at the residence to wait for us, so why would she suddenly go out on her own to the Night Prince’s residence? Furthermore, I don’t think I’ve even heard of her talk about the Night Prince …”

Lou Qingwu’s eyes were dark, “Do you know who the servant was?”

Lan Bai’s face suddenly paled before silently shaking her head, and then nodding her head.

“You, are you hiding something from me?”

“MAster …” Lan Bai called out uneasily, her voice was shaking as if she knew that she shouldn’t say it but when she thought about what laoye said, her face grew even more pale.

Actually, even now, she still felt like her master liked the Night Prince more than the third prince, even though she didn’t know why her master chose the third prince in the end.

But there was no point in saying that now, it’d just make her master even more unhappy.

She just didn’t know how long she could hide it for.

She feared by tomorrow, her master would now.

Instead of finding it out from an outsider, she’d rather be the one to break the bad news. “Master, actually, we could guess who the servant the Night Prince carried back to the Night Prince was.”

“Carried back?” Lou Qingwu’s brows furrowed.

Her heart that had been beating erratically for the whole day, finally reached its peak.

She heard her own voice ask, a bit raspy and shaky, “Who was it?”

“Miss, miss Ye Ji.”

“How did you know?”

“Just about fifteen minute ago, I came back and saw laoye. He’d just come back from the palace with … with news.” Lan Bai felt herself shaking.

“Oh?” Lan Bai’s hand curled against her book. “What is it?”

“The emperor … handed down an edict.” Lan Bai swallowed her saliva and looked at Lou Qingwu.

Not seeing any strange expressions, she continued, “The emperor bestowed a marriage on the Night Prince.”

Lou Qingwu’s hand gripped her book and after half a day, she finally heard herself speaking coldly, “The Night Prince agreed to it?”

“No, the Night Prince … asked for it.”

Lou Qingwu’s head whipped up, her eyes dark, “What did you just say?”

How could her senior brother go and ask for an edict himself?

Even if he wasn’t happy with her, he definitely couldn’t use his own marriage as a joke.

Lan Bai grew even more nervous, “It really was the Night Prince’s personal request. I don’t know what the Night Prince was thinking either, and furthermore, the day’s going to be the same day as when master’s going to be married. Master, is the Night Prince … taking revenge on you?” From the moment she’d received news, she had been uneasy.

Especially when she thought of Ye Ji being the Night Prince’s consort, it was completely unimaginable.

Thinking back to what Lan Bai just said, Lou Qingwu’s pupils shrank, “Who does he want to marry?”

“... it’s, Ye Ji.”
