"Rest up well and heal. I'll cover your medical expenses this time,"
Perhaps because of Li Tongzhen, or maybe due to the acquiescence to Qingqing, Mr. Zhao did not choose to keep things hidden from her any longer.
He rather vaguely and implicitly informed Qingqing about Li Tongzhen's current condition.
"He's gone."
"What do you mean, gone?"
Qingqing's face froze, staring blankly at Mr. Zhao's retreating figure.
Just as Qingqing was puzzled,
she suddenly heard a thunderous boom in the distant sky.
Immediately afterwards,
a column of white light shot up into the sky from near Duke Zhen's Mansion.
"What is that?"
Mr. Zhao, who was about to leave, saw the white light and involuntarily stopped in his tracks.
He watched the white light intensely.
Mr. Zhao looked toward where the white light was rising and immediately understood; that was the location of Duke Zhen's Mansion.
This disturbance.
Could it be the doing of the Town-Nation Duke's Heir?
Or...
Li Tongzhen's doing?
