Chapter 423 Unless, it's one of our own
Liu Yun didn't know what he had done wrong. Was it because the eagle hadn't done a good enough job?
He believed his knife skills were already superb, and even the prince had said they were quite good.
You should know that the prince rarely praises others.
"Perilla..."
"Girls are just so fickle, don't you know?" Zisu smiled at him again, a smile that showed no displeasure and no unspeakable secret.
Simple and straightforward.
"Lord Liuyun, I have to go back to serve my young master and young lady, so I won't keep you company any longer. You should go back soon."
After seeing Liuyun off, Zisu turned and left without hesitation.
She didn't even glance back at him.
Only after her figure disappeared from his sight did Liu Yun turn his gaze away and look down at the eagle in his palm.
It's clearly sculpted perfectly, even the eyes are so lifelike, so why doesn't Zisu like it?
Are girls really that fickle?
He scratched his head, puzzled, and finally could only slink away.
If you don't like eagles, then next time I'll carve a phoenix?
Phoenix is colorful, surely you'll like it?
The more Liu Yun thought about it, the better he felt his idea was, and his gloomy mood immediately brightened up again.
After putting the eagle back into his pocket, he walked away with light steps.
...When Chu Yi knocked on the door, Chu Xiaohe had just finished washing up.
The hangover still left him feeling a bit dizzy, and although he was sober, his head and stomach still felt terrible.
"If I remember correctly, you don't like drinking, brother." You don't even have much interest in drinking, so why did you suddenly start drinking so much?
"Is it really that hard to choose?" she asked.
These words immediately reminded Chu Xiaohe of the problem he had encountered before getting drunk, and his heart sank again.
"We'll talk about this later." He took the tea that Chu Yueli poured for him, drank it all in one gulp, and then said, "Ali, the Third Prince was attacked and fell off a cliff, his fate unknown. Should our Duke's Mansion get involved in this matter?"
"The Duke's Mansion will not participate. However, if you truly want to be with the Seventh Princess, then you must participate. He is the Seventh Princess's most beloved third brother."
Chu Xiaohe understood.
Although he still couldn't explain his relationship with the Seventh Princess, she was currently in his Duke's mansion, and he had to take responsibility for her affairs.
“You are now the commander of the Dragon Guard, and you cannot leave the capital. This matter needs to be handled by someone.” Chu Yueli pursed her lips, deep in thought.
Chu Xiaohe thought for a moment and said, "Although the Chu family army is now back in our hands, the soldiers are all in the border city..."
“I have already secretly written to Nangong, asking him to select three hundred elite troops to come back and help me. However, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire, and Nangong’s men are too late.”
Chu Yueli hesitated, her brows furrowing even more: "Those people have thunderbolts. The Third Prince was forced to jump off a cliff by a thunderbolt, I'm afraid... his chances of survival are slim. But no matter what, we must first find out... who they are?"
Although the Duke's mansion is not particularly heavily guarded, it is not so lax as to be this bad.
It's impossible for someone to sneak in and eavesdrop in broad daylight unless it's one of their own, so the guards don't take any precautions.
Chu Xiaohe strode quickly to the door and flung it open with a whoosh.
Seeing the girl standing at the door, he froze: "How...did you hear?"
