Chapter 1212 - 1206: A Different Kind of Bandit
"That’s for the best!" The Protectorate Duke got up huffily, letting the servants support him as he left the Crown Prince Residence.
"Ah, why did he leave just like that? He didn’t even make things clear." Gu Youyou said with a hint of regret and added anxiously, "Did Lin Qianqing really run away? What on earth happened?"
Jin Zijin squinted and pondered for a moment before saying, "It seems that there is something odd about the Prince Jin Residence. I’ll have Xiao Jinyan check it out."
"Alright."
"But your cousin... should you secretly give her a hand?"
Gu Youyou nodded and said, "Yes, of course. She has always wanted to escape, and now that she has, there’s no need to get caught and brought back again, right?"
"That makes sense. I’ll arrange it."
It was precisely because Gu Youyou ultimately intervened in Lin Qianqing’s escape that the Protectorate Duke, who initially had his doubts, became utterly convinced of King Jin’s account.
In his view, Lin Qianqing’s escape was either a frame-up by King Jin or something that Gu Youyou and Jin Zijin had a hand in.
But he had no evidence, and there was no way he could accuse them of anything.
