Chapter 83: Walls Have Ears

The group took a very large detour around this path, skulking about outside for several loops before confirming it was safe, and only then did they head towards Canglan Court.

After the Emperor shook off Beauty Li's entanglement, he hurriedly followed, only to find that the person he pursued had already vanished.

The Emperor continued the chase in one direction for a while but still couldn't find anyone.

He only felt a bitter taste in his mouth, somewhat dejectedly thinking it seemed she truly didn't want to see him.

If it were usual, she would have joyfully run over upon hearing his voice, yet now she hadn't even caught a glimpse of him and had run off at the mere sound of his movements—the contrast was stark.

The Emperor's heart was filled with sorrow and immense disappointment.

Zhang Qing hurried over and, seeing this scene, could hardly bear it, suggesting in a low voice to the Emperor to visit Canglan Court, for Young Master Lian would have to return there eventually.
