Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 621

With this in mind, the Third Prince made up his mind completely.

His departure may be a good thing for both him and the Xing family.

Let him be willful just this once in his life.

Meishan nodded.

"Okay, since you've thought it through, that's fine."

Just then, a waiter from Yunhu Inn knocked on the door and came in.

"Your Highness, may I speak to you in private?"

The Third Prince was taken aback. He saw the waiter give him a meaningful smile, and then he remembered what "Huo Jinghuai" had said last time: as long as he went to Yunhu Inn to find Meishanqi, "Huo Jinghuai" would make arrangements for him.

He then realized that this guy must be one of Huo Jinghuai's men.

The third prince immediately got up and followed the waiter out.

Mei Shanqi remained seated, brewed the tea, and turned to put down the kettle. When he turned back, Mo Zhonggui was already sitting opposite him.

Mei Shanqi was not surprised. He calmly placed a teacup in front of Mo Zhonggui and poured him some tea.

"I've never seen anyone so eager to seize the throne, sending a prince to my school to learn painting."

Mei Shanqi and Mo Zhonggui had known each other for many years and were close friends despite their age difference. Mei Shanqi knew Mo Zhonggui's true identity.

Mo Chonggui took a sip of tea and said, “Isn’t this perfect? ​​The Third Prince has never offended me, nor has he ever intended to fight. If I were to attack him, he would be unjustly accused. You need a talented disciple, and he dreams of becoming your student to learn painting. Everyone is happy, it’s a win-win situation… no, it’s a triple win.”

Mei Shanqi laughed and said, "Only you have the ability to send him away. However, since I've taken in such a troublesome disciple, you still owe me a favor, and you can't renege on it."

Mo Zhonggui also smiled and said, "Of course, of course. Mr. Mei, please feel free to ask for anything you want in the future."

The two chatted and reminisced for a while before Mo Zhonggui left.

......

In the palace, Consort Xing was shocked to learn that the Third Prince had suddenly disappeared.

The trusted servant she had sent to follow the Third Prince knelt below, terrified and trembling like a leaf.

"This servant...this servant was waiting outside. His Highness went in to see the Hermit of Meishan, and this servant didn't want to follow, so I stayed outside. But I haven't seen His Highness come out...The Hermit of Meishan is still inside, though. I asked, and he said he didn't see His Highness at all. This servant also asked the people at Yunhu Inn, and they said they only saw His Highness go in, not come out...This servant has already sent people to search everywhere, but they haven't found him..."

The more Consort Xing listened, the paler her face became.

Her voice trembled: "Keep searching! Report to the authorities, seal off the entire city of An, we must find the Third Prince!"

She didn't know what had happened to the Third Prince, but she couldn't care less about keeping it a secret right now; finding the Third Prince was the most important thing!

"Also, arrest that Meishan Hermit! Arrest everyone at Yunhu Inn! The Third Prince disappeared from their inn, so these people might all be involved!"

She'd never even heard of that Meishan Hermit!
