It was a good thing Xiao Zai had taken a single horse instead of the carriage, because Chu Yun didn't want to arrive at the royal palace looking desperate. Even though he was feeling it.

It didn't take a large stretch of the imagination to guess that Xiao Zai's arrest wast related to the mysterious attack on Xiao Yuan's concubine.

According to Fan Jiang everything happened yesterday. Which meant that if Xiao Yuan reported the incident on the same day, it took only a few hours of investigation for the King to decide Xiao Zai was to blame.
