Chapter 222 Concubine Hu is Taken Away
Following closely, Nan Leshi and Empress Dowager’s trusted eunuch, Zhang Tao, along with guards, walked in.
"I have seen the Princely Heir," Nan Leshi feigned a submissive demeanor as she began to greet Chu Baihan.
"This servant has seen the Princess,"
Zhang Tao and the others also followed suit with their greetings.
"Now just anyone can barge into the Princess Residence, it seems. It has been too long since I visited the Princess Residence, it surely needs to be put in order," said Chu Baihan as she leisurely rose, her cold gaze sweeping over everyone before she spoke indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Nan Leshi covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Royal Sister, don’t be angry. We are here on the Empress Dowager’s orders to capture the culprit who attempted to harm the Princely Heir. As you know, because of what happened to the Princely Heir, Grandmother is overcome with grief and desperately wishes for us to catch the culprit. Here we are, having rushed over as soon as we got wind of it."
"Rushed over as soon as you got wind of it? Your ears are indeed very handy. The walls of the Princess Residence must be mere decorations by now," Chu Baihan said with a cold laugh.
In her absence from Nanduan Kingdom, it’s likely that the Princess Residence had lost many of her own people.
She had planned to find time to dispose of the spies she had placed in the Princess Residence, but with the recent turn of events, she had almost forgotten about it.
Nan Leqin laughed again, feigning sincerity as she spoke, "Royal Sister, you surely don’t think we’ve been monitoring the Princess Residence all this time? Please don’t think that way; we wouldn’t spy on you. We truly only heard that there was a murderer here, and so we hurried over to lend you a hand."
