377 The Truth 4 (2/2)

”Why aren't you coming with us?” Xiao Fang asked in confusion. The palace was in chaos and this was the perfect opportunity from them to be gone --- Ah Man wasn't the palace's people, so why did he want to come back inside?

Lin Jian nodded his head in agreement, ”Yes ah~! It's dangerous in there! They must be looking for a trace to see whether they were real ghosts or not and they could feel suspicious of an outsider such as you!”

Ah Man laughed and tried to placate them, ”No need to worry! I will be fine. I have another matter to tend to inside the palace. Besides, someone needs to clean up the mess, right?”

Thus, they let him go because his argument was quite solid. Yao Ying and Yao Ling looked at each other but they felt that it was better not to care much about Feng Yong Rui's matter, even though they already got a bad feeling. It seemed like they only needed to wait for the news about what happened next --- as long as it didn't cross their interest, it didn't matter to them anyway.

Yao Ling was hoping that the Han Emperor would be dead for real so that he could go to hell and being tortured because of his misdeeds in this lifetime.

When they arrived back at the prime minister's manor, Yao Ling finally could ask Rong Qiu freely about what happened. ”Father, what happened to you? Why did the Han Emperor imprison you?” She asked with a worried smile.

Rong Qiu sighed. ”Honestly, I never thought that the Han Emperor's paranoia level would turn for the worst like that. He was suspicious of me and felt that I might be working together with the esteemed guest all along, he has never been this weird before... Under the pretense of entertaining me who has never come back to the capital all along, the Han Emperor investigated Hong Wen's death. I can't forget the way he sneered at me.”

Rong Qiu honestly couldn't understand the Han Emperor anymore... He knew that he wasn't a good man before, but... his current personality... *sigh* Rong Qiu was speechless as well.

Yao Ling bit her lower lips. It seemed like the Han Emperor wasn't as stupid as they thought of him --- this time, he put his paranoid personality on the right matter. ”How did Uncle Feng Yong Rui save you?” She asked curiously.

Rong Qiu tilted his head to the side and seemed confused as well. ”The funny thing was there was no resistance. It seemed like there was no hindrance just now... Ah Man directly picked me up at the courtyard where I stayed... The usual guards weren't there at all. Was there something big happening inside the banquet? Ah Man put me in a safe place so I didn't know what happened inside the palace.”

It wasn't weird for Rong Qiu not to know about this matter, but Yao Ying was concerned about there was no guards part. It seemed like this matter wasn't as simple as it looked like from the outside. He sighed in relief. At least, they had been gone and there was no way the conspiracy would reach them.

Everyone was taking a turn to tell what happened back at the palace which made Rong Qiu gasp in surprise. ”Something like that happened?!” He asked loudly.

”Where's Feng Yong Rui now?” Rong Qiu asked.
