The Imperial Master turned around guiltily, not daring to look at Prince Muyi. He intended to run away directly.
Prince Muyi, who had intended to just stop him and ask him what he was doing, since his staff told him that he had just been out of the hotel and headed somewhere. So Prince Muyi wanted to see what he was up to. Prince Muyi had intended to leave when he saw him, because he and the Imperial Master weren’t really getting on well with each other, but the Imperial Master was, after all, his company on the visit to the Saint Divine Land, and he needed to keep an eye out for the Imperial Master in case he caused some trouble.
However, when he saw that the Imperial Master kept avoiding him, Prince Muyi realized that something was wrong.
He headed towards the Imperial Master and grabbed him when he was about to run away. “Hey, where have you been, why are you dodging me?”
“Nothing really, I am just a little tired and need to take a break,” the Imperial Master said unwillingly.
Prince Muyi was not a child. He did not trust him after seeing this strange reaction of his. Especially when the Imperial Master did not even look at him.
Prince Muyi turned the Imperial Master around and saw that his face was filled with blood. He could see that clearly even though the Imperial Master had his head lowered.
Prince Muyi was so shocked. He subconsciously realized that something was wrong.
The Feather Mulberry Land was a weak country compared to the other three countries, yet the four countries were always on a good page with each other and the Imperial Master of a country would not get beaten for no reason, unless… he himself did something to start with.
Prince Muyi observed the Imperial Master’s face and frowned. “What happened?”
The Imperial Master looked distracted. He had not been thinking clearly inside his heart on the way home. He blamed himself for being so reckless as to have offended the future Princess Consort of Lord Huai, and that was like a ticking bomb which would be brought out directly anytime. He had no idea how to explain what happened. And now Prince Muyi suddenly showed up at this point.
For one moment, he had no idea how to explain the whole thing.
He looked so absent-minded before he staggered. “Not a big deal, I was bored back in the room, so I went out for a walk, but an unreasonable man beat me and I had no guards. I am a scholarly man, not a fighter, so I got beaten… I had tried to conceal this from you, because I don’t want to cause any trouble here in the Saint Divine Land. The Feather Mulberry Land is here for something, and we should not bring about any big sensation to the King.”
The Imperial Master was speaking in such a sincere way that those words convinced Prince Muyi who felt slightly assured.
It would not be a big deal if it was just a small fight with someone on the road, but the Imperial Master had to suffer a little.
“I will get a good doctor to treat you. That man beat you on the face, so you won’t be able to meet anyone for a while.” Prince Muyi sighed, then he returned to his room.
He asked his man to hire a doctor.
Back in the room.
Prince Muyi found the whole thing weird. He knew the Imperial Master well. He was not a man who would get so wrapped up if he was beaten for no reason. How strange that he did not want this fight to spread around this time.
He shook his head and decided to look into this matter, when his man was back.
He had just dropped this matter when the servant came back. “Prince, a person who claims to be Lady Chaoyan’s maid is here, asking to see you.”
