"It's a blue signal."

Lan Xin said, "Miss, it's an emergency, we have to leave the palace."

"Mm." Gu Jingchun nodded.

Xiaoman is cautious by nature and would never send out such a signal unless it is an emergency.

After all, this blue signal flare has only been used twice in the past five years.

Could something have happened to Seele?

Thinking of this, Gu Jingchun's gaze fell on Chu Qianlan.

Meanwhile, outside the capital city...

Shen Hechuan, who was investigating spies from an enemy country, stared at the crossroads in front of him with a gloomy expression.

Just then, a blue firework exploded in the sky, immediately catching his eye.

Tianji looked surprised: "Master, it's a signal flare."

"That's the west side of the city, where powerful and wealthy families live. Could they really be colluding with officials of the imperial court?"

Shen Hechuan looked in the direction of the city, lost in thought. After a moment of contemplation, he immediately spurred his horse.

"We split into two groups: one group will pursue them from that direction, while the other will follow me into the city."

Meanwhile, on the streets of the capital, a carriage was speeding along.

Inside the carriage, Steward Li was nervously explaining to Gu Jinxi, who had a cold expression on her face.

“Young Master, the palace is heavily guarded; ordinary people like us cannot enter.”

Gu Jinxi tilted her head back and stared at him coldly.

The sight sent chills down the spine of Butler Li.

He simply couldn't understand how a four- or five-year-old toddler could have such frightening eyes.

Even the current Marquis of Yong'an doesn't have a gaze as terrifying as his, one that sends chills down your spine.
