She did not expect Jian Xun to fool Prince De and have him snatch An Jiuyue and bring her back to his residence.
Prince De was like a mouse that had seen a cat whenever he heard Qian Jiyun's name. How could they expect him to go against Qian Jiyun?
"Where is Prince De now?" she asked.
"Well…" Jian Xun looked troubled again at the mention of Prince De.
He answered weakly, "Uncle felt that offending An Jiuyue meant offending Qian Jiyun. He feared retaliation, so… he left the city to hide in his villa with a few of his people."
He had tried to persuade him to stay but was unsuccessful. He watched helplessly as Prince De fled.
The princess imperial was in a bad mood.
Why is this useless piece of trash so cowardly? What about Qian Jiyun is he afraid of? Forget it. He'll at least be easier to control when he's timid. When he gains power, I can control him however I see fit.
