Chapter 169: The Scheming Empress Dowager (5)

  Ye Qian fell silent for a moment before asking: "What if that woman refused to go and seduce the manager of Luofeng Pavilion?"

  Upon hearing this, Empress Yong let out a scornful laugh, her lips curled up in a mocking arc: "Imperial son, there isn't a woman in the world who doesn't want to curry favor with those in power. Now that the Luofeng Pavilion's influence is at its peak, even our imperial family has to give them face and show deference. To think of it, she should be thanking us for giving her this opportunity; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the chance to meet the person in charge of the Luofeng Pavilion."

  ……

  Under the deep night sky, a girl stood facing the moonlight. Her white clothes were like snow, and in this dark night, she looked so strikingly conspicuous.

  But at this moment, the night is eerily quiet, with only the sound of cicadas on the trees slowly entering one's ears.

  Yun Luo's eyes gazed deeply at the window with the bright candlelight, listening to the conversation between the mother and son inside. A sly smile rose from the corner of her lips, and a cold glint flashed in the bottom of her eyes.

  Tonight, she originally wanted to come to the Second Prince's mansion to investigate the truth about her parents' death. Unexpectedly, she overheard this mother and son's secret plot, and the object of their conspiracy was actually her?

  "Ye Ling, who is Wu Zhong?"

  She turned her back on the handsome young man behind her and asked.

  Ye Ling was taken aback, and replied: "Wu Zhong is considered an old man of the Luofeng Pavilion. He has been with us since the establishment of the Luofeng Pavilion from the very beginning. His strength is at the high-level of the High Spirit, on par with mine."

  "Yeleng, today's matter, just pretend you didn't hear anything. Perhaps this is a good test method. I want to know whether Wu Zhong is sincere towards me about the Luofeng Pavilion!"

  "Yes, master."

  Ye Ling's face showed respect as she spoke.

  In fact, he was still shocked by Yunluo's actions until now.

  Just as they were sneaking into the prince's mansion at night, she didn't know what she had fed those patrolling guards, causing their eyes to become dull and seemingly unaware of them...

  "It seems we can't find any more useful information tonight," Yun Luo Xue raised an eyebrow, slowly turning around in the darkness, his voice charming and lazy, "Ye Ling, let's head back first."

  "Obeying orders."

  Ye Ling lowered her head and replied respectfully.

  The two of them stood outside the window for nearly half an hour, yet no one discovered their presence. Some patrolling guards walked past them without making a sound; if you looked closely, you could notice that these guards had dull eyes and were wandering around in the darkness like wooden puppets.

  Until Yun Luo and Ye Ling left, the eyes of the guards gradually regained their luster, but they seemed to be unaware of the two uninvited guests who had just arrived, continuing their patrol as usual.

  Under the quiet night sky, the streets were no longer bustling with daytime noise, but a deep and peaceful silence.

  Suddenly, the milk tea that was in Yunluo Feng's sleeve started to make a squeaking noise, its cries filled with anxiety and unease, as if warning Yunluo Feng of danger.

  "Cloud Maiden."

  Suddenly, several figures fell from the sky and landed in front of Yunluo Feng, saying straightforwardly: "Our general requests your presence!"

  General?

  Yun Luo Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at the few people blocking his way, smiling slyly and asked: "General Yi?"

  "Not bad," replied the general coldly, "our commander is indeed General Yi."

  Liujin Guo's General Yi was once defeated by his own grandfather, causing his nephew to become a hostage. Now General Yi has suddenly asked her to leave, perhaps her identity has been exposed?
