It was the third watch of the night when Qionghua left the Tenth Prince's mansion.
Tenth Prince Fu Yuanjun sat in the grand hall, his clothes disheveled, yet this only seemed to accentuate an unspeakable air of dominance about him.
"Yan Gu, you may come out."
A figure emerged from the shadows, cloaked in black from head to toe, with only two eyes visible through the fabric covering his head.
"My lord!"
"Tomorrow morning, should I not deal Xue Pin a decisive blow?"
"My lord, you mustn't!"
Tenth Prince Fu Yuanjun looked at him, "Why not?"
Yan Gu bowed his head and replied, "The Emperor dislikes those who covet his Harem. If this letter were to reach the Emperor by tomorrow, it would surely make him wary of you, to no benefit. Instead of striking Xue Pin tomorrow, why not wait for the right moment to add insult to injury? Moreover, delaying for some time will ensure Qionghua's safety."
Tenth Prince Fu Yuanjun furrowed his brow, "What use is that palace maid?"
