Chapter 420: Miserable Zhan Wang
Yun Jiuge lifted her cup and drank the tea to soothe her throat. She told Bao’er, “I don’t trust the others. I want you to find out me.”
“Yes, I’ll do that right away,” Bao’er nodded her head gently. She left to find out what had happened the night before.
Whatever happened the previous night had caused quite a stir in the palace, So it was not difficult for Bao’er to get the information that Yun Jiuge wanted. When she returned, she carried a shocked expression on her face.
“What’s wrong?” asked Yun Jiuge.
“Miss, here’s what I found out about last night. It seems that the Broken Jade Pavilion suddenly caught fire and subsequently collapsed. His Majesty himself personally led the others over there to put out the fire,” Bao’er said in her soft voice.
“What about the Lihua Garden?” asked Yun Jiuge pointedly.
Bao’er’s face turned red and she stammered, “N-Nothing much happened at the Lihua Garden. It’s just that…”
“It’s just what?” said Yun Jiuge as she frowned and went on to say, “Please don’t stammer. Say whatever is on your mind.”
“Yes.” Bao’er noticed that Yun Jiuge looked a little frustrated. She quickly said, “I heard that the palace maids and eunuchs who were in charge of tidying up Lihua Garden found His Highness Zhan Wang dangling from a pear tree. He was naked and unconscious when they were found him.”
