"I believe you. Thank you, Di Pei, for telling me. You should go now before Imperial Consort Xian asks questions about where you were."
Gao Wei and Cao Shu Yu had wanted to ask more questions to Di Pei, but Li Dong Hai just raised his hand to stop them.
Di Pei then quickly curtsied goodbye and left as swiftly as she had come.
"Prince Li, why didn't you let us ask her if Imperial Consort Xian was the spy?" Cao Shu Yu said. A bit of anger hinted in her voice.
"Prince Li, she was feeling guilty. We could have taken out the information we needed," Gao Wei protested.
Li Dong Hai tried to calm himself down. The voices of Gao Wei and Cao Shu Yu sounded distant. Li Dong Hai wished he could turn around time. He wished he could have used the time he was focused on finding the spy on Chen Xue'er. Now, he had limited time to be with his dying wife.
