Chapter 646: Burning Up
At the Royal Academy, unless it was a very powerful ghoul, it would definitely suffer a backlash after entering.
If it stayed for a while longer, it could turn into ashes.
The ghoul was not afraid of death, so she could not turn a blind eye to it.
She immediately stood up and apologized to Master Lu, “Sir, I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to deal with at home, so I want to… leave early. I hope you will approve of that.”
Xie Qiao was very respectful.
She often did not attend cla.s.ses in the afternoon, but it was the first time she asked to leave Master Lu’s cla.s.s.
“Go.” Master Lu was very straightforward.
This person… was not only a student, but also the future Princess Consort. He had to be lenient with him.
Moreover, Xie Qiao had her own talent, so what he said was basically useless to Xie Qiao. He also knew that Xie Qiao had always been mult.i.tasking in his cla.s.s, listening to his cla.s.s while sleeping, and at the same time, she read some books she borrowed from the library.
Earlier, he had been a little dissatisfied, but every time he asked a question, Xie Qiao would always get the right answer.
Thus, he could not be bothered with it.
Now… It was not long before the cla.s.s ended anyway. If she wanted to leave, she could.
Under everyone’s envious gazes, Xie Qiao walked out.
Xie Qiao was very anxious. She immediately put on her curtain hat and went to the Fortune Pavilion.
It was true that she was in a hurry to save her, but she also had to ensure her own ident.i.ty was safe. Therefore, she immediately went to change her clothes. On the way, she was also thinking about what to do next.
This ghoul had been hurt and needed to recuperate for a while. It was useless to get her out now.
She was a Taoist master. Going out of the city alone to look for someone?
That was impossible.
Therefore, there was no need to think much about it. Xie Qiao went to look for his junior brother at the criminal division.
Now that the Crown Prince was under her command, she did not need to feel pressured to order him around. Moreover, the Crown Prince had many men, so she could also use his men. It would be more convenient to look for a missing person.
Judging what the ghoul wore just now, she should be a rich woman. Her daughter was still studying at the Gulan Academy, so her status would not be too low.
Xie Qiao arrived in a carriage very quickly.
The criminal division was as she had imagined. There were many ghouls.
There was also a lot of resentment. Unfortunately, the royal torture chamber was suppressed by dragon power. Even if there were ghouls inside, it would not cause any trouble.
Xie Qiao revealed her ident.i.ty directly and said that she was the Crown Prince’s senior sister. A guard came to look at her and quickly brought her in.
After Xie Qiao came back from Xun County, she did not seem to have seen the Crown Prince.
It had been a few days, and the two of them were even given the approval of marriage!
Could it be that… he no longer cared now that he had won her heart?
Xie Qiao had never thought that as Xie Qiao, a precious young lady, it would be inappropriate for the Crown Prince to go over rashly to see her even if he wanted to see her.
“Your Highness, I’m looking for you for an urgent matter.” Xie Qiao went straight to the point.
Zhao Xuanjing’s expression was slightly uncomfortable, and there was a slight blush on his face. He looked strange.
“What’s wrong? Are you burning up?” Xie Qiao frowned.
Zhao Xuanjing shook his head. “It’s nothing. Why are you so nervous, Senior Sister?”
He wanted to visit the Xie family these days. The Ministry of Rites always had something to bother him with, and then there was the criminal division. There were many miscellaneous matters, and his state of mind…
He was afraid that he would be too obvious and make Xie Qiao feel frivolous.
He was prepared to calm down his thoughts for a few days before going to see her again.
However, he did not expect her to suddenly appear. Fortunately, this face was Mo Chusheng’s and he was used to seeing it, so his reaction was not too big.
“Your Highness, can you send some men? Two young ladies have been captured by evil people. They are in a dilapidated house outside the city. We have to save them quickly.” Xie Qiao did not continue the small talk and said immediately.
