When she was sure that her surroundings were safe, she finally couldn't hold on any longer and closed her eyes.
Before closing her eyes, she reminded him, "Don't leave."
Baili Yanqing held Su Chenyu's hand tightly and did not let go: "I won't leave."
After getting Baili Yanqing's assurance, Su Chenyu finally fell asleep...
Two people wearing veiled hats were sitting at the stone table at Jiuli Pavilion outside the city. The tea in front of them had just been poured and was still steaming.
A man with a cloth wrapped around his head came over from the side path and said, "Master, they stopped the old lady's funeral procession. Baili Yanqing opened the coffin himself and took Su Chenyu away."
A gust of wind blew, lifting the black veil of the veil, revealing the faces of two people, one was Ji Chen and the other was Chen Shurou.
Hearing that they had failed to bring Su Chenyu out, Ji's eyes showed annoyance: "Did Baili Yanqing take her away personally?"
"Yes, it is said that Baili Yanqing can already stand up from the wheelchair."
Ji Chen tried hard to calm down his anger. Chen Shurou, who was sitting next to him, asked, "Ji Chen, why didn't we just kill Su Chenyu instead of taking her away? If we had just let Lai Fu kill her, why would we have to go through so much trouble? And we still failed!"
Ji Chen glanced at Chen Shurou with a warning in his eyes: "Don't forget your identity. Who gave you the courage to call me by my name and question my decision?"
Chen Shurou was frightened by Ji's words, and she shut her mouth, not daring to speak again.
"Let's go, or it will be too late."
Ji Xi did not stay any longer and mounted his horse to leave. He suddenly looked back at the capital city. In his eyes, the gloomy aura hovering over the capital city was showing signs of changing.
A look of regret flashed across Ji's eyes. He was almost successful.
When the two cups of hot tea on the stone table turned into warm water, Mucheng led his men into the pavilion.
He felt the temperature of the cup wall and realized he was a step too late.
"Young General, do you want to continue chasing?" asked a guard.
Mucheng shook his head: "No need."
After returning to the capital, Mucheng went directly to the Shenjiying prison, where Muyuan was interrogating the Chen family. Chen's father was very stubborn and refused to say anything. He also insisted on seeing Emperor Jing of Wei.
Instead, Chen's mother and Chen Yue were huddled aside, covered in wounds, like dogs that had lost their homes.
"Brother, Chen Yue and his mother really don't know anything. Chen Qin must know something, but he won't say anything."
Chen Qin is Chen's father's name. Mu Cheng walked up to Chen Qin and said, "Chen Qin, Chen Shurou and Ji Chen have already escaped. It's impossible for anyone to save you. You should tell me the truth. Where is Chen Lai Fu? How did you collude with Ji Chen? What exactly does Ji Chen want to do?"
"Mucheng, you are seeking the death penalty. If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely kill you."
"The emperor has ordered that the Shenjiying Camp take over the Chen family's affairs. No matter life or death, as long as the truth is known!"
