86 Past Beckons

Xing nodded with fake enthusiasm and turned to leave.

Who'll come to this place again! Ha! I going to meet my Prince! May be I should ask him to make a painting of me. I wonder how I'll look in his painting,Xing was wondering and was about to leave when Lord Zhong entered the study with Eunuch Xin shooed away by him.

Seeing her leaving, Lord Zhong wrapped his arms around her shoulders,

"Come in, brat! I need to discuss something with you"

Xing could not escape his hold and was almost dragged back into the Imperial Study by the Great General.

Shengli who followed Xing was waiting in a tea shop watching the gates of the Imperial Palace and waited for her return. He looked like an immortal who had descended to take a look on the mortal realm with his white robes and his silver hair fluttering in the wind and his solemn glance made him look surreal and unapproachable.
