The words caught in his throat, and the subordinate gaped in shock: "That Pavilion Master... I'll come back later!"

He was about to slink away like a greased rag doll, but Gu Momo stopped him: "Stop! Tell me, what is it?"

She subtly withdrew from Li Zhanting's embrace, and Li Zhanting sat down as if no one else was there.

With his well-defined fingers, he casually picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and remained as calm as if nothing had happened.

"Uh..." The subordinate seriously doubted his eyes and hurriedly reported, "We have sent out a large number of people to search, but we still haven't found any trace of Miss Wanrou and Master Feng! We don't know their current situation, or where they went! Should we send more people now? The longer it drags on, the worse the situation will become!"

Li Zhanting and Gu Momo's eyes flashed with astonishment at the same time, and they both exclaimed almost in unison: "Why aren't you sending more men?!"

"Yes! I'll go right away!" The subordinate quickly ran off, and Gu Momo inside the room could no longer remain calm.

She slammed her hand on the table: "We were still careless! We anticipated that the Emperor-Slaying Alliance would attack the Glazed Pavilion headquarters, but we still underestimated the strength of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance! I almost forgot that besides the leader, the Emperor-Slaying Alliance now also has the most troublesome Red Lotus!"

A strange glint flashed in Li Zhanting's deep, cold eyes. He calmly said, "His whereabouts are unknown after he opened the door. The Emperor-Slaying Alliance probably won't let this go easily. The most important thing now is to find them before the Emperor-Slaying Alliance discovers them!"

If the Emperor-Slaying Alliance gets there first, the consequences could be unimaginable!

"Okay! Let's speed things up!" Gu Momo said, and quickly started walking outside.

The Emperor-Killing Alliance is targeting her. If they are not eliminated, her family will never have peace!

"MoMo, have you thought about this?" Li Zhanting strode to Gu MoMo's side, analyzing the situation as he walked:

"The person who took the note in the hotel back then actually wanted to get you pregnant unexpectedly. And right now, the group that needs the genes for a fourth child the most is the Emperor Killing Alliance, so the person who took the note back then was very likely a member of the Emperor Killing Alliance. The Emperor Killing Alliance usually doesn't allow people without strength to act alone, so that person back then might have been someone with a position within the Emperor Killing Alliance."

"If we want to investigate the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, we have to start from within the alliance. If we can find the person who took the note back then, things might be much simpler for us afterward?"

Even the largest organization cannot withstand internal disintegration!

Based on current intelligence, the information provided by the spies from the Emperor-Killing Alliance who were stationed here was largely accurate.

He provided Gu Momo and Li Zhanting with information about the Emperor-Killing Alliance, perhaps to gain their trust, but this also provided them with useful information for their future actions, making it much easier to deal with the Emperor-Killing Alliance later.

Gu Momo paused slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "I suddenly remembered that Grandpa Qiao, who saved me back then, also lives in Y country. I haven't seen Grandpa Qiao for a long time. When I go to Y country, I can see Grandpa Qiao."

"Really?" Li Zhanting's eyes were smiling. This Grandpa Qiao who saved Momo was Momo's savior.

This is a good opportunity to properly express my gratitude to this benefactor.

Country Y.

Imperial villa.

Dennis reported the information from Gu Momo's side to Queen Denise.

Denise was trimming a bouquet of flowers in her room when she heard the news. She was so angry that she lost her grip on the scissors and accidentally cut off the most beautifully blooming petal.

She picked up the flowers that had fallen on the table, her right hand clenched into a fist.

Denise was furious, but to maintain her queenly image, she suppressed her anger and calmly observed her flowers, her almond-shaped eyes subtly revealing a deep, unfathomable ruthlessness.

"Dennis, do you know why this flower grows so well?"

Dennis shook his head in confusion. He was a straight man and knew absolutely nothing about floral arrangements.

The Queen brought the flower to her nose and smelled it. "Because none of the buds that bloomed at the same time as him could compete with him. He absorbed the nutrients from the other petals and naturally grew more luxuriantly. Some things in nature also apply to the human world."

It's obvious that Denise's words were implying to Denise that she wanted Gu Momo dead.

It wasn't that she felt she would become a threat, but rather that she had been feeling uneasy lately.

She had loved Tianyi for just as many years as he had been in Y country. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have risked impersonating the queen, nor would she have repeatedly opposed the Emperor-Slaying Alliance for his sake. Everything she did was for Li Tianyi.

But things are different now. Gu Momo and Li Zhanting want to take away the person she loves most, and they also want to find that old hag Mo Yan!

She loves Li Tianyi, and her love transcends everything. She absolutely will not allow Gu Momo and Li Zhanting to destroy her hopes!

Anyone who stands in her way must die!

Denise walked up to her brother and handed him the flower that had just bloomed. "Brother, do you know what? I can't allow anyone who wants to ruin my life to appear. If I can't kill them once, I'll kill them a second time. Before the piano competition ends, you must bring me Gu Momo's head!"

Dennis tremblingly accepted the flowers. He didn't know why, but the younger sister in front of him was completely different from the gentle, virtuous, and understanding Denise he used to know. In fact, she sometimes made him feel a little scared.

When the king died, he thought he could use his power to hold the young prince hostage and use the emperor to command the other princes.

But to everyone's surprise, his sister, the former queen, disregarded the laws of Y country and dragged the ruthless prince off the throne, taking the throne for herself. This made her one of the few queens in Y country to seize power and become queen!

Dennis gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "Yes, my queen."

Denise smiled with satisfaction, though her eyes held a hint of amusement: "Alright, you can go now."

Dennis quickly left, and as he turned away, the flattering look in his eyes gradually turned ruthless.

He had just stepped out when a dark figure appeared behind Queen Denise. Although he tried his best to conceal his voice, it was still easy to tell that it was the voice of an old man, specially disguised.

"Your younger brother Dennis has long coveted your throne, are you still planning to keep him around?"

Denise seemed completely unsurprised by his appearance. She continued pruning the flowers and leaves, and laughed, "Even if he still has designs on my throne, he can only obediently be my lackey now. Do you really think this lackey can cause any trouble?"

As she spoke, her voice hardened: "What are you doing here for no reason?"

The mysterious man seemed to chuckle: "You actually let Gu Wanrou and Li Zhanfeng escape from your grasp, you're really something!"
