Why Did He Leave?

At this moment, Ling'er rode her beloved horse, passing by the courtyard gate. The Eleventh Prince's eyes lit up as he saw the lively and carefree girl playfully smiling at the maid leading the horse.

The fleeting figure deeply captivated him.

"Who was the girl passing by the courtyard gate?" 

The servant hurriedly went and returned after a short while.

"Your Highness, that girl is Madam Qiao's only daughter and Princess Tianshui."

"I see."

The Eleventh Prince looked again at the courtyard gate, but the charming silhouette was no longer there. His gaze dimmed.

In just a moment, he had seen many lively scenes outside the window.

On the roof, a red cat was frolicking around, and at some point, a few squirrels had joined, holding unidentified nuts in their hands.

They looked adorable, a sight he had never witnessed before. If he had seen them demonstrate their lethal skills, he might not have used the word "adorable."
