Chapter 270: Second Update
The night was pitch black, each night had been just like this, concealing everyone’s secrets, resembling the restless thoughts of someone lurking in the darkness.
Qi Ling had been standing in front of Prince Duan’s Mansion for so long that he almost turned to stone, almost convinced that His Highness lacked the courage to enter, when Zheng Congyuan suddenly lifted his leg and walked to a very secluded part of the mansion, lightly leaping onto the wall, with Qi Ling following effortlessly, even not stirring a single leaf.
They were not very familiar with the layout of Prince Duan’s Mansion; the most familiar was Qi Jin. Qi Jin had been to Prince Duan’s Mansion more frequently than the others and was the first, in the darkness, to recognize the direction to the main courtyard, but they did not know which courtyard the Commandery Princess would be in.
Zheng Congyuan did not ask further, swiftly moving through the dark shadows of the bushes and heading straight for the main courtyard. Zheng Boding cherished his daughter dearly and would naturally not be too far. He remembered that there was a very elegant small courtyard next to the main courtyard of Prince Duan’s Mansion, although small, it was the quickest to tidy up.
The next moment, Zheng Congyuan indeed saw light filtering from that courtyard but suddenly stood rooted to the spot, close at hand, Zheng Congyuan was suddenly hesitant to go in.
Once inside, what would he say? The last time they parted on bad terms, even if there was a possibility to entangle, what sort of outcome could that bring?
Qi Ling’s expression turned anxious. "Your Highness, we’re already here, what are you doing standing here? If you stand here, nothing will be clear."
Qi Jin was also anxious. If they were discovered by the people of Prince Duan’s Mansion, what would they think of them? Qi Jin could already imagine the servants of the Prince’s Mansion chasing them with torches and swords.
Zheng Congyuan was immersed in his own thoughts, the closer he got, the more he felt the entanglement in his heart. Maybe just looking was the best choice.
