The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1463

Chapter 1463: 714 Second Watch

As dawn approached, a faint fish-belly white began to rise on the eastern horizon, and the dim morning light, piercing through the heavy clouds, began to cast beams upon every eave of Shengdu.

Han Ye had been sitting in the chair for half the night.

Qun Xuan had sealed his acupoint to prevent him from stopping his Second Uncle, Han Yong, from going to his death.

Even though the acupoint automatically unsealed itself half an hour earlier, he was well aware everything was too late.

He sat there in a daze, the morning light filtering through the window lattice, casting a glow on his resolute and handsome side face, with colorful halos swirling in the dust.

Ga ji—

The door was pushed open.

It was Qun Xuan who entered.

Qun Xuan gave him a fixed look, understood that the acupoint was unlocked, closed the door, and said heavily, "Your second uncle is gone."

"Where is the body?" Han Ye asked.

Like someone whose soul had been drained, upon hearing this grievous news, he could no longer be shocked, nor could he shed any more tears.

The sadness that needed to be felt had already run its course in the past two hours.

Now, all he was filled with was hatred, a relentless and unending hatred!

Qun Xuan approached him and said, "The Han family will handle it. You don’t have to worry about it anymore."

Han Ye’s eyes were empty as he scoffed, "My grandfather is truly ruthless to this extent, not even giving his own son a proper burial?"

Qun Xuan sighed, "The Emperor is very angry."

Han Ye clenched his fist, "That’s his own son!" referring to the patriarch of the Han family.

Qun Xuan clarified, "An illegitimate son."

Han Ye closed his eyes in sorrow and turned away his face.

Illegitimate son.

Yes, his second uncle was an illegitimate son, but he was an illegitimate son more excellent than the legitimate ones. If only the resources of the Han family had not always been biased away from his second uncle, his martial arts and achievements would have far surpassed his own!
