Let Off

Si Ye walked outside and coincidentally saw Si Ting coming back.

"Hello, Master." Si Ting cupped his fists, and his intricate face looked rather tense.

Si Ye looked at his appearance and was curious. "Si Ting, shouldn't you be at school today? Why did you come back?"

Si Ting hesitated for a while and said, "I heard something happened in the palace."

"What happened? Why don't I know?" Si Ye was even more confused. I have been staying in close contact with the people inside the palace, so I should be the first to know if anything happened. Si Ting was at Tian Lu Academy, so how did he know? Besides, it seems like something is wrong…

Si Ting looked at him and tightly cupped his fists. "Chu Liuyue didn't go to the academy today and was summoned to the palace."

"What has this—" Si Ye realized something the moment he said this, and his expression changed. "You're saying that… It has something to do with the Fourth Princess?"
