NOVPUBXu Zening’s face darkened, clearly showing his anger. “Return to the palace immediately. The rest of you, find out who is behind this incident.”
Gao Huaichang sighed. The old maid by Seventeenth Highness’s side was personally sent by His Majesty.
“Your Highness, shouldn’t we first report this matter to His Majesty?”
Xu Zening frowned, feeling increasingly agitated by the situation.
“In this situation, there’s no time to consider anything else. With hundreds of people in the Eastern Palace, if this incident escalates into something serious, who will be responsible for the consequences?”
Gao Huaichang understood Xu Zening’s concerns, but it was evident that Xu Zening’s reaction this time was very different from his usual calm demeanor.
Gao Huaichang discreetly observed Xu Zening’s expression. He noticed the veins throbbing on his forehead, as if he was deeply worried about something.
The usually indifferent prince now seemed more alive than ever.
After Gao Huaichang carried out Xu Zening’s instructions, he began to prepare for their return to the palace.
Soon after, several men dressed in black came to report to Xu Zening.
Seeing them kneel before him, Xu Zening slammed his hand on the table. “The Bai family is overreaching. It seems Fourth Brother has been living too comfortably lately. Consort Shu is stirring up trouble to satisfy herself.”
