The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 303

Chapter 303: 166 His son (Third Watch) _3

No one could hear Xiao Jingkong’s words because he wasn’t powerful enough.

Because he was not powerful enough, Gu Jiao’s life was deemed less important than those from the East Palace.

Xiao Liulang’s fists tightened bit by bit.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his heart had become frigid.

Over there, they had already fastened the ropes and were preparing to move the stone slab.

Suddenly, Xiao Liulang threw away his crutch, leaped forward, and slid underneath the gap in the stone slab.

An official was shocked, “What are you doing? Are you crazy? It’s dangerous down there! Come up! Everyone, stop, stop now!”

The palace servants who were moving the stone slab stopped.

A maid flew into a rage, “Why did you stop? Who told you to stop? If he wants to die, let him die! What does he have to do with you? Doesn’t he know it’s dangerous? Those people are in cahoots! They want to harm the prince! Are you also in league with them?”

With such a sizable accusation made, who had the time to care about the lives of two ordinary people?

However, Xiao Liulang turned his head to glance at the official through the crack, uttering a cold sentence that stunned everyone.

…

In the never-ending bustle of the streets, a seemingly insignificant horse carriage was moving at a steady pace.

Inside the carriage sat Lord Xuanping and Manager Liu.

Manager Liu had just encountered his lord and got into his carriage.

Lord Xuanping asked indifferently, “How’s everything going?”

Manager Liu laughed nervously.

When they left the Capital City, he boasted that he would bring the illegitimate son back home for the New Year, but now it was almost New Year’s Eve, and the son was unwilling even to acknowledge his identity.

Lord Xuanping casually said, “If you failed, just admit it.”

Manager Liu admitted awkwardly, “I did find the person. But the young master… he probably still broods over the past and doesn’t want to come back.”

“Hmm,” Lord Xuanping curtly acknowledged, showing neither happiness nor anger, “If he doesn’t want to come back, then let him be.”
