That night, everything was engulfed in pitch darkness, as if even the stars and the moon had gone into hiding.
The whole Capital had fallen into slumber.
Only the fourth prince's mansion was brightly lit.
The study.
Dressed in splendid attire, the Fourth Prince sat neatly in front of his desk, where a diminutive figure loomed. Judging only by the silhouette, the person seemed but a few years old; however, the voice that sounded was harsh and hoarse, clearly that of a middle-aged man…
"Fourth Prince, actually, I rushed to the Capital long ago, but on my way here, I was ambushed in Shuangxing County and nearly lost my life. Thankfully, Master saved me and took me back to the mountains, where with the administration of precious elixirs daily, my life was spared. Hence, my delayed report time."
Turns out this person was none other than the dwarf whose tendons were severed by Xuexue in Shuangxing County.
