Prince Yi left the Lei manor completely irritated. He had been in a very bad mood since the day before because like always, the Emperor got in his way.
There was also the fact that Haiyan had stood him up.
Prince Yi had expected Haiyan's backstabbing, which was why he had intended to be in a position to capture the maid Haiyan wanted to give himself leverage in their negotiations.
He had inquired about the imprisoned maids and one stood out. The other two maids had already been in the palace for a few years, Chun Hua had only entered the palace in the last few months. Naturally, Chun Hua with her questionable background appeared to be the one.
But then the Emperor had released the two maids but not Chun Hua and that gave Prince Yi pause. He knew the Emperor would have been investigating Lei Xing's drugging and naturally investigating the maids was the first step.
