The thought of Su Xu liking Gu Yan, and the thought of not being by Gu Yan's side, made Feng Guang grit her teeth in hatred. As midnight approached, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. In fact, during the days she was under house arrest, she rarely slept soundly, fearing that she would suddenly receive news that something had happened to Gu Yan.
Just as she was wondering if Su Xu, that sorceress, would take advantage of her position to grope Gu Yan, she heard a faint sound coming from the window. After listening carefully for a while and confirming that it wasn't her imagination, Feng Guang threw off the covers, got out of bed, walked to the window, thought for a moment, and then opened it.
Two people jumped in through the window. Before Feng Guang could even make a sound, her mouth was covered.
"Shh—" Xia Fengya whispered, "Royal sister, be quiet, don't let the people outside hear us."
Feng Guang nodded, and Xia Fengya finally let go of her hand. She asked, "How did you end up here?"
Accompanying Xia Fengya was Mu Liang.
Mu Liang said, "We received a letter from the Duke of Zhenguo. He said that he wants us to rescue you first so that he can deal with Chief Qian without any scruples."
"The Duke of Zhenguo?"
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Xia Fengya said. “Lan Tingrong has stopped at the city gate with his army. As long as you are rescued, he will coordinate with Zhenguo Gong to catch Qian Qiu off guard.”
Feng Guang still didn't understand. "Are you sure you didn't see wrong? It was the Duke of Zhenguo who tipped you off?"
Mu Liang said, "That's right, what's wrong?"
Something's not right. Lan Gan values Lan Tingyu's life so much that he even made a cooperation agreement with Qian Qiu for it. Why would he suddenly notify Feng Ya and the others to come and rescue her? Feng Guang couldn't understand. Could it be that Lan Tingyu's poison has been cured, or that he was thinking of sacrificing Lan Tingyu?
"Sister, what are you thinking about? Come with us quickly." Xia Fengya pulled Fengguang's hand.
“I can’t leave.” Feng Guang shook his head.
Feng Ya was greatly puzzled. "Why? Qian Qiu is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He might kill you one day."
Mu Liang also said, "Now is not the time for you to be reckless. Do you know how many people will die if a palace coup really happens?"
"Mu Liang, not bad, you actually know something about palace coups." Feng Guang patted his shoulder approvingly.
Mu Liang slapped her hand away in disgust. "Don't think I'm an idiot. Although I've been around in the martial arts world, I still have some common sense. A palace coup is just like the struggle for the position of sect leader among the famous sects in the martial arts world. Both are paved with blood, and it's all for personal gain."
"Mu Liang... I never knew you could say something so serious." This time, the admiration wasn't for Feng Guang, but for Xia Fengya.
Mu Liang felt a lump in her throat. "You guys, don't think I'm a brainless idiot, okay?"
They really thought he was a brainless idiot, but as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So, in Xia Fengya's eyes, this was Mu Liang's charm, and she wouldn't dislike him at all.
No, the important thing isn't whether Mu Liang is an idiot or not, but about taking Feng Guang away!
Fengya asked Fengguang, "Royal sister, why won't you leave?"
“If I leave, Gu Yan will be in danger,” Feng Guang said stubbornly. “I can’t leave him behind.”
“But elder sister, I think you are in more danger than him right now.” Whenever Xia Fengya thought back to Gu Yan’s attitude towards her a year ago, she had a feeling that a man like Gu Yan would never put himself in danger.
“Gu Yan, he…” Feng Guang uttered three words before a sharp pain shot through his neck, and he lost consciousness.
Xia Fengya quickly caught her to prevent her from falling to the ground, glaring at Mu Liang and saying, "What are you doing?"
"Have you forgotten what the last sentence of the letter said?"
The last sentence of the letter reads: If Your Majesty is unwilling to leave, then knock her unconscious and take her away.
