Chapter 41 Eavesdropping
Ju Nanyi was slightly startled upon hearing Ho Sheng’s words.
The Fourth Prince slipped out of the palace to the Traveling Palace? The reason was understandable, Noble Consort Wen and the Second Prince were at the Traveling Palace, and given the Fourth Prince’s young age, it was plausible he would do something like this. However, it seemed somewhat illogical and indefensible.
"Steward Ho, are you saying that the Fourth Prince came to the Traveling Palace alone?" This was not right, as it was impossible for the Fourth Prince to reach the Traveling Palace by himself, and moreover, Ho Sheng had chased after him three times without success.
"It must be the loyal warriors of the Wen Family, definitely the loyal warriors of the Wen Family," Eunuch Ho Sheng anxiously shook his horsetail whisk, which was already half bald, not worrying about its state anymore.
"Steward Ho, don’t be anxious. If you’re certain that the Fourth Prince is at the Traveling Palace, then I will first quietly send someone to check Noble Consort Wen and the Second Prince’s courtyards. If the Fourth Prince is found, they will immediately report to you, and then you can go in, how about that?" Ju Nanyi was not in a hurry, as he trusted the abilities of the Wen Family’s loyal warriors.
Moreover, since the Fourth Prince left the palace abruptly and few knew about it, the chances of encountering those assassins were very low. Even if he were to meet ordinary bandits, the two loyal warriors from the Wen Family would be able to handle them.
"No, no, there’s no need to go to Her Majesty’s palace, but it might be worth checking the Second Prince’s place. And there’s another place that we must definitely check." Ho Sheng quickly leaned close to Ju Nanyi’s ear and whispered something.
"I understand. Steward Ho, please wait a moment, I will be right back," Ju Nanyi immediately called over one of his guards to head directly to the Second Prince’s courtyard, while he decided to personally visit the other location.
Firstly, since Eunuch Ho Sheng told him in such secrecy, it was surely something he did not want others to know about. Secondly, this Commandery Princess Chao Ren— he had also heard about her, the offspring of Prince Duan.
