Chapter 269: One More
Zheng Congyuan didn’t know why he felt compelled to go, as if an impulse in his heart dictated that without going, he wouldn’t be able to concentrate on anything, sit still, or sleep.
Upon leaving the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Qi Ling saw that his highness had asked Qi Jin to draw the carriage, which meant they were not heading to Qishun Building. If not there, it was obvious where they would be going, and Qi Ling dearly wished to find a better destination for his master.
When Qi Yu hurried out, he was also confused. Where could they be going so late? His Highness hadn’t mentioned any destinations.
Seeing this, Qi Ling had no choice but to give Qi Jin a look, whose impatient nature immediately prompted him to speak up. Your Highness, it has been peaceful for a few days now, they all think it’s settled, the Commandery Princess will be at Prince Duan’s Mansion from now on. Gradually, this relationship that should have never existed was supposed to have been severed.
Qi Jin immediately cracked his whip, and the carriage darted into the darkness, the rapid and rhythmic clip-clop of hooves disturbing the underlying solitude in people’s hearts.
As Qi Ling sighed inwardly, he may not have known what was written in the Commandery Princess’s letter, but he could guess that she was now engaged and had moved back to Prince Duan’s Mansion. There were some things that, even if... they too would eventually come to an end.
Moreover, in the hearts of Qi Ling and Qi Zhu, after so many years of companionship, there was an indescribable connection with the Commandery Princess that made them automatically consider her well-being.
Therefore, at this time, becoming gradually distant was the best choice for both His Highness and the Commandery Princess.
Zheng Congyuan remained silent, his gaze fixed on the darkness, never uttering a word.
