Zhang Cheng then said, "The Young Madam was pursued on the street by two guards at Lian Rong's side, almost falling into their trap. At the very last moment, someone rescued her!"
"She was being chased?" Pei Zhan's heart, which had just settled down, was raised again. "Was she injured? Why weren't you watching over her?"
"General, don't worry. The Young Madam was not injured. She sent me to deliver a message to the General; there is something urgent and important to tell! The Young Madam said—the Eldest Prince has returned!"
The last few words were spoken softly and slowly by Zhang Cheng. Pei Zhan looked at him, taking a while before responding, "What did you say?"
Zhang Cheng repeated, "The Young Madam asked me to tell you, His Highness the Eldest Prince has returned! The person who saved the Young Madam earlier was the Eldest Prince himself!"
Even though Pei Zhan was accustomed to storms, hearing this left his mind in chaos!
