Yu Han Dan was fearfully clutching her chest, she didnโt even dare to breathe too loud. Su Ren secretly swallowed his saliva, he was so nervous that his back was covered with sweat. On battlefields, he had seen the mightiness of Chi Xue, but today he finally saw that usually hanged on the wall Bing Lian had this much power. Su Renโs heart was at his throat. The last time Bing Lian and Chi Xue fought, Ling Yun Pavilion had to be repaired for more than a month. If these three people foughtโฆ This Yi Tian court might have to be rebuild again.
Ao Tian and Su Ling paused at each side, didnโt move but still unwilling to retreat the swords. The swords on their hand were held so tightly that they started to make a creaking sound. It was estimated they wouldnโt give up until one of them died.
Gu Yun was so pissed off and pierced the sword on her hand into the ground. Her arms were folded in front of her chest. She coldly said, โIf you really like to fight, you could fight with me. After you win against me, you two can fight all the way you likeย till one of you die and no one will care!โ The icy cold voice didnโtย haveย the furious angry like before, but it actually made those two big men simultaneously stunned.
โWho wants to go first?โ Gu Yun looked at Ao Tian, then Su Ling. Both of them didnโt open their eyes. After a while, Ao Tian finally took down his sword. Gu Yun secretly relieved and walked to his direction, โWhat are you doing here?โ
Ao Tian turned his back, ignoring her. However, when he turned his back, he confronted Yu Han Dan, making Yu Han Dan petrified and her legs felt like jelly. Leaning on the door, her hands trembled non-stop. Su Ren stood forward and asked, โMiss Yu, are you okay?โ
Yu Han Dan forced herself to calm and make a smile, โIโฆ am alright.โ
Gu Yun thought again and walked to Yu Han Dan while pointing Ao Tian, โWas he the man you saw that night?โ
Perhaps, because of Su Renโs present by her side, so she felt safer. Or, perhaps, she also didnโt want to lose her attitude in front Su Ren. Anyway, she once again looked Ao Tian. that thin faceโฆ that silver hair and slender figureโฆ Yu Han Dan nodded and replied, โIt was him.โ
After she finished speaking, Ao Tian suddenly looked up, looking at Yu Han Dan. That pair of cold eyes made Yu Han Danโs heart stopped beating for a moment and she stepped back.
Gu Yun frowned, โAre you sure?โ This was impossible. That night after she separated with Ao Tian, she immediately heard the scream. It was impossible for Ao Tian to be theย assailant unless he could do teleport! This was simply impossible!
Yu Han Danโs heart was disordered. She was too afraid to look at Ao Tian again, but hearing Gu Yunโs question, she thought of a little difference. The assailantโs eyes were cruel and violent, while this man, although he was scary, his were just cold and lacking that sickening bloodthirsty feeling.
โI, Iโฆ.โ She had been saying โIโ for a while. Yu Han Dan didnโt dare to say yes or no. She was afraid that she would speak wrong things, so she couldnโt speak it out.
Su Ling arrogant face had a thick layer of frost. How could she still believe that Ao Tian is not the murderer? He had actuallyย comeย to General Manor to kill, how could she still believe him?!
Yu Han Dan didnโt dare to give an answer, making Gu Yun believe that Ao Tian was not the killer, but that assailant had some connection with Ao Tian. Or else, how could they look similar and Ao Tian voluntarily surrender himself? Gu Yun wanted to speak alone with Ao Tian. At this time, a sound was coming from the outside, โGeneral, Minister Dan is requesting an audience.โ
โLet him in.โ Su Ling was no longer looking at Gu Yun and walked towards the lobby. Su Ling hadnโt left the small court when Dan Yu Lan and threeย Yayisย came in. His calm face showed a repressed anger.
Dan Yu Lan nodded at Su Ling and his eyes swept through the messy yard. At last, it stopped at Ao Tian. His eyes flashed and heย raisedย his hand. Threeย Yayisย pointed the sword towards Ao Tian, surrounding him. Ao Tian didnโt have expression and just stood there. His bendable sword had returned to his waist. When dealing with these people, he didnโt need a weapon.
Gu Yun slightly frowned and puzzledly asked, โDan Yu Lan, what happened?โ They didnโt have evidence that pointed out Ao Tian was the killer and he had voluntarily go to the jail. Even if he came out today, it didnโt mean that Dan Yu Lan could let theย Yayisย to pointย a sword to Ao Tian, right?
Dan Yu Lan replied, โXiao Yu was dead.โ
Dead? Gu Yun was surprised. Ao Tian escaped the jail and Xiao Yu suddenly died! Gu Yun had a bad feeling. Indeed, Dan Yu Lan coldly said, โWithin one hour Ao Tian left Xing Bu, she was dead. The assailantโฆโ Seeing a cold arrogant Ao Tian, Dan Yu Lan continued, โwas a silver-haired man. I am afraid Miss Yuโs safety, so I came here to have a look. I didnโt expect Ao Tian to be here.โ
Ao Tian was not the murderer. He didnโt need to kill Xiao Yu. How could this be so coincidental? It happened as soon as Ao Tian escaped. Gu Yun looked at Ao Tian, hoping to see something in his face. Unfortunately, Ao Tian face remained expressionless. Nothing could be read from his face.
Cheng Hang rushed towards Ao Tian and coldly asked, โAo Tian, you pretended to voluntarily surrender yourself to letย down the suspicion. Now, Xiao Yu and Miss Yu were the only two who clearly seen your look. You wanted to kill the witness, didnโt you?
After a while, Ao Tian said, โI kill no one.โ
His words seemed to anger Cheng Hang. Cheng Hang glared at him and loudly snapped, โCan you say that last night patrollingย Yayisย werenโt killed by you? If you didnโt kill them, how could you go out? And what are you doing in the middle of the night in General Manor?โ
Ao Tian killedย Yayis? Gu Yun now understood why Dan Yu Lan could be this angry and why Cheng Hang was so irritable. Gu Yun didnโt really believe that Ao Tian could do such a thing. With his martial arts, did he need to kill people to escape the jail? If they werenโt killed by Ao Tian, who killed them? Why did Ao Tian come to General Manor? The series of questions made Gu Yun closed her mouth and waited for his answer. However, Ao Tian just stood lofty there and spoke nothing.
Ao Tian didnโt speak a single word. Cheng Hang treated this as tacitly agreeing to the accusation and angrily roared, โYou couldnโt answer this right?!ย First,ย you killed Xiao Yu, then entered General Manor to kill Miss Yu, right?โ
โI didnโt kill anyone.โ Ao Tian repeatedly said the word. He could onlyย sayย that word. From the beginning, he had guessed that they were intentionally luring him out. Although he knew it was a trap, he couldnโtย notย come. If something happened to Qing Mo, he wouldnโt be able to forgive himself.
โYou still dare to quibble!โ Once Ao Tian came out of the jail, several of his brothers died. Who could bear it? Cheng Hang wanted to ruthlessly beat him.
โFirst, escort the person back into the jail.โ Dan Yu Lan voice stopped Cheng Hangโs fists.
Unwillingly putting down his hand, Cheng Hang escorted Ao Tian out of the small courtyard. Ao Tian didnโt resist at all. Just before he went out, he looked at Gu Yun. Gu Yun didnโt know what he was thinking and she just felt that Ao Tian was acting weird tonight.
A group of people left Yi Tian Court. Dan Yu Lan paid respect to Su Ling and said, โGeneral Su, sorry to disturb.โ
Su Ling lightly nodded and said nothing. All things that happened tonight seemed to point to Ao Tian as a murderer. However, when fighting with Ao Tian before, he felt that Ao Tian was not like a murderer. People who used sword knew, he had a flexible sword that could deal with Chi Xue and that strange movement… There was no apparent reason to involve in rape and captivity case.
The two went out of the courtyard together. A young soldier rushed towards Su Ling, his forehead was covered with sweat. Upon seeing Su Ling, he reported, โGeneral! Something bad happened!โ
At the same time, aย Yayiย also rushed towards Dan Yu Lan and whispered, โMinister! There was an accident!โ
Su Ling coldly asked, โWhat had happened? Why you looked so scared?โ
โThere was an explosion in the ย Hao Yueโs embassy anย incenseย time ago.โ
Dan Yu Lan and Su Ling almost simultaneous shouted, โWhat?โ The two had guessed that something massive happened, but didnโt expect that an explosion in relay station!
Dan Yu Lan urged, โWhat is the situation right now?โ The soldier looked at Su Ling. Seeing Su Ling nodded, he continued, โA Hao Yueโs ambassador officer was killed, three were heavily injured and five had minor injuries.โ
Before the celebration, Hao Yueโs embassy was exploded. In addition, one officer was killed. Toย Qiongย Yue, this was simply an insult. Tomorrow morning, the emperor must be really furious. The two looked each other and said nothing, just left the General Manor.
In the courtyard, Gu Yun had been listening to their conversation but didnโt chase them. The day Qing got married, she had passed the embassy, so she knew where it was. Sitting down on the small steps in the court, Guย Yunย closed her eyes, arranging everything that happened tonight in her memory. She suddenly opened her eyes and urgently said to Su Ren, โSu Ren, immediately send people to other countriesโ embassies, see whether thereย wasย also explosive material there. Also, asked them not to allow anyone get closer to the embassies for the next 24 hours!โ ย Theย bombing, this time, came too sudden. In addition, it happened before the ceremony. This kind of attack, she was afraid wouldnโtย happenย just once!
โOkay.โ Su Ren was surprised. Seeing Gu Yunโs serious face, he knew what her concern was. If it wasย reallyย as she thought it was going to be, it would be really disastrous!
Su Ren quickly exited the small courtyard. Gu Yun suddenly stood up and talked to terrified Yu Han Dan, โStay at Yi Tian Court! Donโt go anywhere.โ After finished speaking, she went out. Yu Han Dan regained her alertness and anxiously asked, โWhere are you going?โ
โCrime scene.โ Throwing that word, the petite slender figure disappeared from the inner court.
Seeing her back view, Yu Han Dan suddenly envied her. With similar build, she could come and go freely. If she (Yu Han Dan) could be half as similar as her (Gu Yun), could she not need to be arranged by her father?
Bitterly smiling, Yu Han Dan picked up the jadeย qinย and sat on the grass. She plucked the strings and a music started to flow, bringing a calmness to this turmoil night.
***
Hao Yueโs embassy
This was the second time Gu Yun went to Hao Yueโs embassy. The last time, it was during Qing ceremony, when Lou Xi Yan picked her up here. At that time, it was decoratedย withย gorgeous decorations. However, it looked different now. Su soldiers had closed this place. The inner court still had traces of powder and a heavy ash smell could be felt coming from the inside. The guards were Su Armyโs people so seeing Gu Yun coming, they didnโt stop her. Instead, they welcomed her. Xing Buโsย Yayisย had seen Gu Yun working on a case with Minister Dan before, so seeing the Su Army didnโt stop her, they also didnโt dare to stop her.
Gu Yun smoothly entered the embassy. The garden was a mess and the flowers on the ground were basically three patches charcoal black on the ground. Looking up, the front lobby was very neat and there were many people were treated inside. Gu Yun guessed the explosion point was in the courtyard.
Dan Yu Lan and Su Ling were standing in the front door, hearing the Yayiโs report. Cheng Hang was squatting in front of a big patch, seriously recording Yayiโs report.
Gu Yun went towards Cheng Hang. When Su Ling looked at Gu Yunโs slender figure, he pulled her sleeve and asked, โWhat are you doing here?โ Then, recalling that the accident happened in Hao Yueโs embassy, it was normal that she was worried.
Gu Yun slightly looked down to observed the explosion points and didnโt really listen to what Su Ling said. She just replied, โYou just do your business. You donโt need to care about me.โ
Su Ling frowned. How could he not care about her?! Although he was unhappy, he didnโt send her back home.
Gu Yun walked to the first point of explosion and was about to squat down to see when a male voice hesitatingly asked, โMiss Qing Mo? Was that really you?โ
Gu Yun looked up and saw a man in his early thirties. He looked really surprised to see her. Seeing his uniform, Gu Yun guessed he must beย a Haoย Yueโs officer. She stood up and nodded. The man paid a respect to her, โThe emperor had been worried about you and your sister. Heย speciallyย ordered this subject to ask about your new.โ Qing Ling had married Lou Xi Yan and Qing Feng hadย becomeย a Qiong Yueโs imperial concubine. Although Qing Mo hadnโt been givenย an officialย title, he needed to โfanโ her earlier (basically treat/praise her well to get something in return).
Gu Yun was not Qing Mo, so naturally she didnโt haveย feelingsย towards Hao Yue. However, she didnโt want him to suspect, so she muttered a polite but distant thanks and looked at the soldier beside her, saying, โEscort him to rest.โ
After a night raid and putting down the rebels, Qing Moโs reputation and status in Su family soared high. Listening to Gu Yunโs order, the young soldier quickly replied, โYes, mam.โ
Being led away by the young soldier to the inner chamber, the man from time to time looked back at Qing Mo, who was squatting on the ground. In his memory, Qingโs third miss was a pleasant kid. How could she turn into an ice queen after arriving inย Qiongย Yue? Looking at the attitude of the young soldier towards her, he knew that her position inside Su Familyย wasn’tย low. Qingโs three sisters indeed had their own strategies!
โWhat had actually happened?โ A calm Dan Yu Lan looked at the messy scene. In addition, there was a dead Hao Yueโs officer, it was definitely a bad thing.
In the late autumn night,ย Yayisโ heads were covered in sweat, but they quickly replied, โAccording to Hao Yueโs officer, they were discussing things in the lobby. At 9.30, they heard a movement in the inner courtyard so they went out to have a look. However, when they came into the yard, there was an explosion, so theย frontestย person which was Hao Yueโs ย Department of Riteโs assistant ministerโฆ died.โ
Dan Yu Lan gritted his teeth and continued to ask, โDid they see someone suspicious?โ
โNo, when they arrived at the courtyard, the explosion took a place. During the day, they also didnโt notice anything special happened. Hao Yueโs officers just came yesterday morning to the embassy. Before that, no one hadย come.โ
During the celebration period, someone would patrol near the embassy. If anyone suspicious sneaked in, they should be able to discover it. How did the assailant bury the explosive in the inner court without peopleโs notice it?
โThe assailant didnโt put the explosive in the courtyard in advance. Instead, they brought the explosives from outside.โ Qing Moโs female voice was heard. Dan Yu Lan and Su Ling were surprised and quickly looked at half knelt Gu Yun. Her back was facing her.
Chengย Hangย who was squatting beside Gu Yun urgently asked, โHow do you know?โ
โFrom the traces left behind the scene, we could see there were three explosion points.โ Guย Yunย stood up and walked towards the centre of the three points. She continued, โTo the southwest of the three points, there were shallow pits. Amongst them, the furthest to the southwest was slightly deeper than the other. In the surrounding of every pit, there had many traces of gunpowders. It was estimated that the explosives were dropped from above. After bouncing several times, the explosion occurred.โ Cheng Hang carefully observed. It was indeed like what she said. In every pit to the southwest direction, there were two-three shallow pits. If you didnโt look at it carefully, you wouldnโt be able to notice it. Cheng Hang had that kind of worshipping look when he looked at Gu Yun. Seeing her eyes suddenly squinted, Cheng Hang looked at the front lobby for a while. Her gaze suddenly fixed at a certainย point and confidently opened her mouth, โLooking at the explosion points and the bounced points, the assailant should throw the explosive from there!โ
Looking at the direction of Gu Yunโs finger, Cheng Hang quickly jumped onto the roof and looked forย evidence. He excitedly said, โReporting to the Minister, there were indeed traces of black powder and being stamped at the scene.โ Although the footprint was really light, but it could still be vaguely seen.
โDraw the footprint with the original scale.โ Gu Yun grabbed the white paper that was onย Yayiโsย hand beside her, dipped a generous amount of the ink onto her brush and threw both of them to Cheng Hang.
Cheng Hang quickly caught it. If his martial arts wasnโt good enough, he would either die because of falling down or getting a free black face painting! Catching the brush and the paper with difficulty, Cheng Hang glared at Gu Yun who had turned her back. The other people didnโt even give him a glance! Cheng Hang pouted, he could only accept his fate and seriously drew the footprint.
Su Ling walked to Gu Yunโs side. Just as she said, he saw a light trace that most people wouldnโt notice. On the battlefield, he could devise a battle plan and win many battles. However, it seemed like she had a more detailed observation and analysing skill than him.
Dan Yu Lan had alwaysย knownย that Qing Mo had good observation and analysing skill. Seeing her lost in her thought again, he hesitated for a moment then continued toย ask, โAre there any other discoveries?โ
Gu Yunโs face was solemn. With a seriousย tone, she replied, โThe explosion power was not large and the assailant actually chose to throw the explosive into the courtyard instead of burying it in the most important place, it was probably because his motive was not to kill people, but to provoke or to give a warning. However, we couldnโt find anyย negotiating orย warning letters on the scene. This could only mean that it is just a beginning.โ
A beginning? Su Lingโs and Dan Yu Lanโs faces stiffened, โWhat you meant wasโฆ the assailant would attack somewhere else?โ
Gu Yun nodded. Looking at the way they looked, Gu Yun smiled and comforted, โSu Ren had deployed additional people to protect the embassies, so it should beโฆโ
Boom. Gu Yunโs words hadnโt finished but a muffled thunder-like sound was piercing the silence of the night. Everyone who heard it skipped a heartbeat. In this part of the city, it was full of embassies. The muffled voice had inexplicable said it.
โGo and check what was happening? Where did the sound come from?โ Dan Yu Lan face could be described as white as paper.
“Yes!”
โSomeone come. Order Han Shu to bring 8,000 elites and block all the city gates and official roads.โ Su Lingโs eagle eyes look at the flaming light. It was indeed like what she said, the assailant wanted to provoke!
โYes.โ
Gu Yunโs organised brows bundled together. She had expected that the assailant would continue to engage in terrorist attack, but she didnโt think it would be this quick!
โReportingโฆโ The one who reported wasnโt the Yayi that just left, but a red-clothed small soldier. He straightly went towards Su Ling and anxiously said, โNorthern Qiโs embassy got attacked. The Commander Su who was there at that time also got injured.โ
Su Ren got hurt?! The group of people rushed towards Northern Qiโs embassy. Outside the embassy, there were 3-4 groups. The door was widely opened. The door was directly facing the centre of the courtyard. A deeper and bigger pit was found, this meant the attacks were using more and more explosives!
Guย Yunย took a lead into the inner courtyard. Seeing a young soldier holding a towel to bandaged Su Renโs arm, Gu Yun asked, โSu Ren, how are you feeling?โ
Su Renโs disapprovingly smiled, โIt was just a minor injury.โ Seeing Su Ling and Dan Yu Lan behind Gu Yun, Su Ren waved his hand to the soldier and got up to greet, โBig Brother, Minister Dan.โ
Inside the courtyard, the Su Army was picking up pieces but none of the Nothern Qi officers was found. Dan Yu Lan concernedly asked, โCommander Su, how is your injury? Did any of Nothern Qiโs people got injured?โ
Su Ren shook his head and replied, โThanks for your concern, I was the only one who got injured. Thanks to Big sister-in-lawโs order to bring soldiers here, we encountered the assailant. The explosive explode in the front courtyard so the Nothern Qiโs officials were injured. I had let them rest in the back chambers.โ
So, she actually had ordered Su Ren to stand a guard! Su Ren and Dan Yu Lan were slightly surprised, simultaneously looking at Gu Yun who was half kneeling on the ground. She used her finger to touch the big pitโs black sand inside. Her face was solemn. They didnโt know what she was thinking, but no one dared to disturb her.
Gu Yunโs back was facing Su Ren and faintly asking, โDid you see the assailant?โ
With Gu Yunโs question, Su Ling and Dan Yu Lan recovered, looking at Su Ren. Su Ren annoyedly replied, โI could only see a red shadow. The assailant was wearing a mask.โ
โDid he leave any word or anything?โ If they didnโt, this could only mean that the game wasnโt over and the attack would continue! Su Ling and Dan Yu Lan understood the meaning behind Gu Yunโs question. Northern Qi was the second embassy that got attacked. If there was the third oneโฆ The two feltย a headacheย again.
Su Ren nodded and replied, โThere is. When he dropped the explosives from the walls, he straightly ran away. His martial arts was high so he disappeared without a trace. He left this on the wall.โ
Dan Yu Lan sighed. Su Ling took the note and look at it. His facial expression changed and his eyes were full of murderous aura.
Gu Yun had also noticed Su Lingโs change. Together with Dan Yu Lan, they looked at the note. On the white silk, there were only simple bloody words, โRelease Ao Tian,ย otherwise,ย blood will bathe the celebrationโฆ Ye Mei.โ
โYe Mei?โ Gu Yun mumbled. The assailant was that always silent and righteous girl? Gu Yun didnโt really believe it. She faced Su Ren and asked again, โHave you seen Ye Mei before? Was she really the assailant?โ
Su Ren was a little bit frustrated and replied, โIโve only seen Ye Mei once, but the assailant was wearing a golden mask and a bright red cloak. He/she didnโt say a word, so I couldnโt see clearly and also couldnโt hear anything. I couldnโt determine whether the assailant is a female or a male.โ
Red cloak and gold mask! Obvious features again and no one was able to clearly seen the face of the assailant, it was similar to Ao Tianโs silver hair cases. Gu Yun had a premonition that everything that happened tonight was a part ofย a carefullyย woven conspiracy. From the day Ao Tian escaped, these things had been developed to certain direction step-by-step. This left note had forced Ao Tian more and more towards an abyss!
Ti Xing Office.
In the huge office, several cold-looking people were sitting on chairs. It looked like every one of them was into their own deep thoughts. No one was speaking. The only warmness in the room came from several cups of tea that were placed on the table.
โReporting!โ
Rapid footsteps sound came from the courtyard outside of the office. A young man urgently reported, โReporting General! Eightย thousandย soldiers have been dispatched into the capital and its peripheries to search the assailants, but we couldnโt track Ye Meiโs whereabout.โ The General had ordered them to report the situation to him every hour. After two consecutive reports of no result, the generalโs face had turned scarily dark. The young soldier swallowed his saliva. Fortunately, Su Ling didnโt get angry and just coldly ordered, โDeploy another 10,000 soldiers and expand the periphery of the search!โ
โYes.โ
Cheng Hang was slightly annoyed and he thumped the small table (็ฎๅ it is a short table, like a coffee table). He puzzledly hummed, โWhen the assailant attacked the Northern Qi embassy, General Su had despatched some soldiers to block the capitalโs official roads. It is impossible for the assailant to escape within that narrow time point. She must still be in the city. How could we not find her?โ
Just as everyone became silent again, aย yayiย came in a rush and said, โMinister, Guard Mo from prime ministerโs house asks to see Minister.โ
Mo Bai paid a visit in the middle of the night. Could that be that Primeย Minister Lou had heard this news this quickly? Sighing, Dan Yu Lan replied, โLet him come.โ
Mo Baiโs tall figure appeared in the office. A slight shortness of breaths revealed his anxious and impatient state. Dan Yu Lanโs deep voice asked, โGuard Mo, you came this late at night. Did Prime Minister Lou have sent some message?โ
โDid you suspect Ye Mei as tonight bomber?โ Mo Bai irrelevantly answered. Dan Yu Lan slightly frowned, secretly questioning how he knew that they suspected Ye Mei as the assailant. However, knowing that Lou Xi Yan was โbehindโ Mo Baiโs back, Dan Yu Lan wisely kept silent.
Seeing Dan Yu Lan remained silent, Mo Bai cold voice determinedly said, โShe is not.โ
Everyone was stupefied. Dan Yu Lan curiously asked, โHow do you know that she wasnโt the assailant?โ Did Prime Minister Lou had evidence to prove Ye Mei is not the assailant?
Mo Bai coldly replied, โWhen did the first attack occur?โ
โ21.30โ
โAt 21.00, she was with me. I had an appointment to meet her at the place 2.5 km outside the city at the southern suburb. At 21.30, she just left, so she couldnโt be the assailant.โ
Were the twosย together? Gu Yunโs lips slightly raised. It was no wonder the usually cold/calm Mo Bai came here in such a hurry.
Cheng Hang obviously didnโt really believe it and asked, โWere there any other people with you at that time?โ
โNo.โ Mo Baiโs blue eyes darkened. He asked, โYou didnโt believe my words?โ
Dan Yu Lan deeply sighed, โGuard Mo. It was not like I didnโt believe you, but the assailant left a note, claiming to be Ye Mei. In addition, coincidentally, Ye Mei disappeared. Whether she is the assailant or not, we still need to find her first.โ
Mo Baiโs cold aura scared people and Dan Yu Lan didnโt speak again, making the atmosphere in the office really tense.
At this time, a man who dressed likeย a eunuchย was escorted by aย yayiย into the office. Seeing Su Ling and Dan Yu Lan, he urgently said, โThe emperor had decreed. General Su and Minister Dan are to immediately enterย the palace.โ
Immediately enter the palace? It was 01.00 am right now. Su Ling and Dan Yu Lan looked at each other, clearly understood that they would need to face Yan Hong Tianโs rage. They tacitly stood up and followed the eunuch, exiting the office.
Su Ling and Dan Yu Lan left. Mo Bai also left, leaving Cheng Hang and Gu Yun in the office.
Gu Yun gently tapped the table, producing rhythmic pounding sounds. Cheng Hang who heard these was slightly annoyed. He was about to ask her to stop when Gu Yun stopped and asked, โDid you believe his words?โ
Cheng Hang shook his head. Gu Yun laughed, โWhy?โ
โSeeing the way he looked just before, I knew that he and that Ye Mei had a โthingโ. To protect the woman he loves, he lied. This is commonย sense.โ Sighing, Cheng Hang anxiously said, โThis kind of thing happened just before the celebration. The Emperor must have been angry. This time entering the palace, I am afraid the minister will have to suffer!โ
Cheng Hang didnโt believe Mo Bai, but Gu Yun believed. Although Mo Bai was anxious, his face didnโt show any trace of guilty conscience. She could see that he didnโt lie. If what he said was true, then, someone was planning to trap Ye Mei and Ao Tian? At this time, Ye Mei was missing. She was afraidโฆ
Damn! Gu Yun quickly stood up and ran towards the courtyard. Cheng Hang didnโt understand what was going on so he shouted, โWhere are you going?โ
There was only empty room to answer his question.
