Wei Jue followed Pei Yan, thinking that His Highness, upon receiving the news, would rush to Jiangnan without a moment's delay.
After all, Miss Mei was about to marry Gu Xun!
If he didn't go stop it, the next time they met, Miss Mei would have to call His Highness "cousin."
Instead, he went to the Mei family's residence in the Capital City.
Wei Jue was baffled. He reminded him, "Your Highness, Miss Mei has gone to Jiangnan. She hasn't returned to the Capital City."
'Could it be that after being unconscious for so long, His Highness's mind has become muddled?'
So Wei Jue thought.
Pei Yan entered the residence in silence. Wei Jue couldn't tell if he had heard him or not.
Knowing his master's temper and dislike for chatter, Wei Jue could only shut his mouth and follow behind without a sound.
