At this critical juncture, Pei Yan suddenly left the Mei residence.
Mrs. Mei was utterly confused. "Does he have urgent business? Ling hasn't even had her first birthday ceremony yet. How could he just leave?"
Pei Yan doted on Ling so much. He wouldn't leave unless it was an absolute emergency.
Mrs. Mei was certain of this.
Nanny Liu glanced outside and whispered, "It seems Ying and His Majesty had an argument. Something was off with both of them. The messenger said the Emperor was utterly distraught and even tripped over the threshold on his way out."
Aside from matters of the heart, Pei Yan's composure was plain for all to see.
To see him in such a state was truly rare.
Mrs. Mei was taken aback. "What's this all about?"
Nanny Liu shook her head. "The guest courtyard is heavily guarded. Only the two of them know what really happened."
Although Ah Yin never said anything explicitly, who could they possibly fool with the silent conversations they had with their eyes?
