Chapter 345: I Originally Thought His Highness Prince Qi Was a Person Unfamiliar with Love
Upon hearing this sentence, the light in Duke Shen’s eyes suddenly became sharp as he looked at the little eunuch on the ground and asked, "What are you doing in my Duke Residence?"
The little eunuch, who had never seen such a grand scene before, trembled with fear as he kneeled on the ground, holding up a token, and said, "This servant is following Eunuch Zhou’s command, to inform His Highness Prince Qiu that His Majesty has summoned the Princess to the palace."
Li Mingjue’s brows furrowed, and his tone had already taken on a chill, "Why would Father Emperor summon the Princess to the palace?"
Intimidated by his powerful aura, the little eunuch quickly lowered his head, his voice trembling, "Replying to Prince, this servant does not know."
Shen Xihe let the little eunuch rise and turned to Li Mingjue, saying, "Since he was sent by Eunuch Zhou, there must be something amiss. You should go to the palace first."
With that, he gestured to the little eunuch to raise his hand and then had someone lead him out of the residence.
Li Mingjue did not stay for a moment longer; he hurriedly bid farewell to Duke Shen, and left with Shiqi.
Duke Shen, watching his hurried departure, not a trace of his usual indifference, sighed softly and said, "I originally thought His Highness Prince Qiu was a man uninterested in love."
Shen Xihe shook his head silently and sighed, "Whenever it involves the Princess, he seems like a different person."
Father and son remained silent for a moment before Duke Shen spoke first, "It’s about time you got married as well."
