Chapter 42: You had another fight with His Highness?

  This time they were in cahoots, and this matter also implicated the Hu Guo Gong Fu. Chu Ci was very clear that the remaining puzzles could only be solved when he returned to the capital.

  So, Chu Ci directly turned around and asked Emperor Wu for permission to leave, then handed Su Che over to her for interrogation.

  Intuition told Chu Ci that Su Chen must still be hiding something from them.

  After this night, Qingzhou had not a few casualties, but because of the presence of the Imperial Guard and the Lingnan Pavilion, the number of casualties was within a controllable range. As dawn approached, Chu Ci and Di Hong left the city to look at the forest outside, where they saw a large patch of white foam on the ground, with dark water stains along the edges of the foam.

  According to Situ Fei, that was probably what it looked like when the Taolin monster was poisoned into ashes.

  Chu Ci gazed at the large pile of foam, lost in thought. The Taixingguai had vanished, but... what role did the Wu Gui tribe play in this matter? Who had taken the White Tiger Token?

  It's likely that upon returning to the imperial city, another stormy and mysterious event will unfold.

  Because they had to hurry back to Kyoto for their duties, they set off back to the capital on the second day.

  Su Wang and Su Chen were escorted by the Dark Guard Army, while Chu Ci sat in the same carriage as the Crown Prince.

  However, Chu Ci discovered a strange thing, and didn't know if it was because the sunlight outside was too poisonous. Along the way, the curtains of the carriage were tightly closed, not allowing even a sliver of sunlight to enter. At first, Chu Ci didn't understand, seeing Emperor Mo Li's face gradually turn pale, thinking he was just feeling stifled, and took the initiative to open the curtains. As a result, the brilliant light outside shot in for an instant, and Emperor Mo Li suddenly opened his icy, frosty eyes, his voice cold and stern, as if it came from the depths of the earth, "Close it."

  Chu Ci looked up at him and only then did she notice that Emperor Mo's hand, which was exposed to the sunlight, had become even paler and colder. She was slightly startled in her heart and quickly closed the curtains, anxiously asking in a low voice: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

  The emperor's sleeves fell down and covered his hands, and he closed his eyes and gave an order to drive away: "Get off the carriage."

  Chu Ci slightly furrowed her brow and couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? Do you need to stop and rest for a while?"

  "If you don't want to die, then get out of here." Emperor Chi Yan's eyes were cold and stern as he glared at her.

  Chu Ci looked at him, stunned for a moment, and without saying another word, jumped down from the carriage and came to the back.

  At that time, Tong Qi was riding a horse and clearing his mind. When he heard someone speaking beside him, he turned his head to look over and saw Chu Ci had already mounted the horse, with an indifferent expression on his face.

  Cheng Qi saw him and asked in a puzzled tone: "Did you have another fight with His Highness?"

  Chu Ci grasped the horse whip and looked at him with dissatisfaction, "Again?"

  "It's nothing, it's normal for you to quarrel. As expected, I guessed that you were acting this time." Cheng Qi said with a relieved face.

  However, Chu Ci felt even more depressed when he heard Cheng Qi's words.

  From then on, Chu Ci didn't speak to Emperor Mo again, and Emperor Mo seemed to ignore her, not visiting her from start to finish.

  This seems to confirm Cheng Qi's words, and even Chu Ci can't help but suspect that Emperor Yan might have indeed put on an act with her.

  But this is unnecessary.

  Chu Ci couldn't understand Emperor Wu's obsession with this person, and could only say that he was even stranger than she had imagined.

  When I arrived in Kyoto, it was already two days later.

  Di Jun left without saying goodbye to her, and went directly to the palace to report back. Chu Ci had no choice but to return to the Ming government office in a bad mood, where he told Ming Taishi about everything that had happened before and after his trip to Qingzhou.
