Chapter 275: Getting a Cold Reception

Pei Huaian came out just in time to see the striking figure ahead and quickened his steps to catch up.

He grabbed her arm and explained, "I can explain what just happened."

Shao He shook off his hand and stepped back a meter, saying, "I ask the Fifth Prince to maintain his decorum. We are in the imperial palace, please do not come too close to me, lest people misunderstand."

Shao He's words blocked any chance for him to explain.

Pei Huaian gave a bitter smile, "Yes, we are indeed inside the imperial palace."

"I'll take my leave first." Shao He said coldly and then stepped away.

Seeing this, Pei Huaian quickly stepped forward, blocking her path, and softly said, "Don't worry for now, Old Madam Chu can no longer enter the palace, and you and the child are safe."

"Are you done talking? If so, please step aside, Fifth Prince!" Shao He did not want to speak with him any further.
