The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 962

Chapter 962: 444 The Originator of Pitfalls (Second Update)

The Crown Prince should have heard everything behind the rockery unless he was deaf.

"Is that you? You... how come you are here?"

That was the voice of the Crown Princess.

"I didn’t want to come, but I had no choice."

This was not Ning Wang’s voice.

Ning Wang was seriously injured and currently bedridden in his mansion, recuperating—him coming here would be sheer nonsense.

"You must be out of your mind, this is the Imperial Palace, and you dare to meet me here in broad daylight? Aren’t you afraid of getting caught!"

"Don’t worry, my martial arts are very good, I won’t let anyone find out."

"Leave now."

"Once I have delivered the young master’s message, I will leave. The young master wants you to remember that you are his woman, remember your identity! Don’t keep avoiding him. If there’s a next time, he won’t guarantee he can cover for your relationship anymore."

"Are you threatening me?"

"The message has been delivered, I’m leaving now."

"Wait! How... how are his injuries?"

Her tone was one of concern and worry.

"If you truly worry about the young master, you’d better visit him personally. It’s been a long time since you’ve seen the young master, don’t you miss him?"

She let out a bitter sigh, "What’s the use of missing him? Can I just leave the Forbidden City as I wish? What if I am suspected?"

"Rest assured, as long as you desire, the young master will make suitable arrangements for you."

In fact, Gu Chengfeng only improvised the part about visiting; the rest was just him adding lines.

Gu Jiao had been watching the Crown Prince’s expression from beginning to end, noticing that he showed no reaction to the first two sentences, and only slightly furrowed his brow at the third.

However, when he heard "Once I have delivered the young master’s message, I will leave," his frown deepened, clearly showing some anger.

What, just this bit of reaction to being cuckolded?

Doesn’t that seem a bit off?

Given the Crown Prince’s feelings for Wo Linlang, he should have drawn his sword and charged in by now—either cutting down Wo Linlang or the adulterer, or both.

But that didn’t happen.

Gu Jiao asked curiously, "Your Highness, did you recognize the voice of the person just now?"

The Crown Prince snorted coldly, "How could I recognize it? I do not know the person!"

Gu Jiao opened her mouth in surprise, "You... don’t recognize? Didn’t you find the voice just now somewhat familiar?"
