This cannot do……Gui Wan immediately turns and runs for the door, this matter cannot happen.
Grabbing onto Gui Wan’s hand, Guan Xiu Wen was also surprised as he looks at his own hand, just now, he did not even think before grabbing her, didn’t think through how abrupt this action of his is, just that he definitely cannot just watch her run out in panic like that, anxiously asking her: “What’s wrong?”
Feeling the slight pain of being abruptly caught by the arm like that, causes her to suddenly wake up a bit, and hearing the youth question her, she reminds herself not to panic, she needs to remain calm, the situation still has the chance to be turned around. Bringing back a touch of a smile, she orders the youth: “Xiu Wen, you quickly go help me call for a horse carriage, not from the Prime Minister Estate, also cannot let the housekeeper and the others know of this, I need to go out right now.”
Perhaps it was that calling of Xiu Wen, her calling of him bringing a slight shock to his heart, or perhaps it was the trace of helplessness that was revealed in her eyes, causing him to no longer ask any further, seeing that Gui Wan has faintly restored her calm, he immediately runs out the door.
An hour later, a horse carriage fleetingly passes by the big street outside the Prime Minister Estate, raising gusts of yellow dust, the turning of wheels sounding crazily as it runs.
Gui Wan who was sitting in the carriage was feeling extremely uncomfortable, but she must endure this. One hand grabbing hold of the shaft the cart, half lowering her body, she agonises over what kind of method the Empress would use, vaguely guessing, a long time ago, she has once heard that the Elder Statesman has group of powerful phantom soldiers, the approach must be a midway rob and kill. If that’s the case, they can push away the responsibility, thus protecting the Elder Statesman’s life, but what about the Empress? What plans does she have for herself then? She had already withheld the determination of death……could it be……
Hear heart jumps up and down along with the bumpy carriage, Gui Wan was feeling unceasingly anxious, Lou Che promised her that he would spare the Empress, such promise has already been fulfilled, this time, he would no longer be lenient right?
Such a cold heart. What could she do now? Will she be able to stop the Empress in time like this? Could it be that there is no one that can help her?
Just when she was thinking this, the horse carriage comes to an abrupt stop, secretly feeling annoyed inside, she gravely asks the coachman: “What exactly happened? Why did you stop?” She can no longer afford to be delayed.
The coachman’s fearful voice travels in: “We’ve reached the North Gate, there’s a border inspection.”
They already reached the city gates? Raising the curtains, she looks out, the soldiers at the city gates were thoroughly inspecting, her eyes travels across, a good few people were stood by the city gates, it appears to be the commanders, enthusiastically discussing something, amongst them is……is General Lin Rui En.
That young general who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, the imperial court’s number one commander, is the only person who can compete with Lou Che in the imperial court. Seeing him, Gui Wan’s heart jumps, joy flowing in, there’s hope.
