Zhong Lingling sprinted all the way.
Soldiers lined both sides of the corridor; although they stood rigidly, their eyes all followed Zhong Lingling, none knowing what had happened.
Zhong Lingling could no longer concern herself with those around her and ran to the end of the corridor in one breath.
Then, she ran towards the residence she shared with Xiang Yimo.
After witnessing the Mermaid specimen in the Imperial Palace and hearing the Queen unfold the detailed truth about the Mermaid's love, Zhong Lingling's emotions were a complex mix.
Thinking about the fate of that Mermaid, Zhong Lingling felt even more heartache for Xiang Yimo.
What was the Mermaid's fault? He just shouldn't have fallen in love with a human girl!
She was so afraid that it would be Xiang Yimo's ultimate fate.
