Chapter 997: Chapter 836, Hostage_2

"Xiao Yechen" seized the opportunity and said, "Father, would you like to join us? The Princess Consort would be very pleased if she knew you lit an Everlasting Lantern for her."

Luo Qiong glanced at "Xiao Yechen," understanding his intention, and immediately took over the conversation, "Father, on the day the Princess Consort met with disaster, she even prayed for a Ping An blessing from Buddha on your behalf. She said she wanted to give it to you personally upon her return, but unfortunately..."

Seeing the sorrow on both their faces, the Prince thought of the tender moments he had once shared with the Ma Family and, after pondering for a moment, nodded, "Alright, I shall accompany you."

Upon the Prince’s agreement, both "Xiao Yechen" and Luo Qiong felt a surge of joy, but before they could revel in their happiness for long, Daohua approached with her maids.

"Father, are you going out?"

Seeing Daohua arrive, Luo Qiong furrowed her brows. However, remembering that Xiao Yechen had not disclosed her affairs, she slowly regained her composure.

"Xiao Yechen," however, brightened at the sight. Xiao Yeyang had been relentless in eliminating members of the Eight Princes Party, and the Prince had died sick on the run largely because of Xiao Yeyang’s unyielding pursuit. If he could catch Xiao Yeyang’s wife, he wanted to make him taste the agony of deep-cut pain.

Daohua approached the trio with a smile, paid her respects to the Prince, and then bowed to "Xiao Yechen" and Luo Qiong.

She noticed the two standing closely together and a flicker of suspicion crossed her eyes.

A husband who learns of his wife’s infidelity normally would be filled with disgust and unlikely to have physical contact with his wife during such a time.

Seeing it was Daohua, the Prince didn’t conceal the matter and directly shared that "Xiao Yechen" and Luo Qiong were heading to the temple to light an Everlasting Lantern for the Princess Consort.

Hearing this, Daohua grew even more puzzled.

Xiao Yechen should know that Luo Qiong was related to the Princess Consort’s death. Why would he bring her to light a lantern for the Princess Consort at this time? Was he trying to recreate the scene?

"So that’s the case, that’s appropriate."
