Chapter 568: Pretty Features

Translator: Pika

Zu An was taken to a secluded residence to spend the night It wasn’t far frouely lazed roof tiles of the imperial palace from where he was

This place was probably chosen as it provided quick access to the i

The security was rather tight, even though King Liang and Liu Yao both left,to their own duties

Zhuxie Chixin left as well, presumably to report to the euards outside Was Zhuxie Chixin really that confident? Even though these guards weren’t terrible, the top three experts had all left Did they not fear that soht seize this opportunity to make a move?

He even wondered if Zhuxie Chixin had been bought by a certain faction However, both theclan and Chu Chuyan seemed fully convinced that Zhuxie Chixin was the emperor’s most trusted subordinate

If even such a confidante could be bought, it would only prove the emperor's incompetence There was no way such a person could have risen to become the world’s ure out why they wouldthe palace He felt like a sick person waiting for his shots The needles weren’t even that bad—aswas the wait

He was also curious why Chu Chuyan hadn’t appeared She proain at the capital Shouldn’t they already be together again?

The standard of his calligraphy was far below that of any race to histhat ot out of hand Over ti this man think that he really was so finally coht out his private seal to mark it There was a satisfied expression on his face “Chuyan, come over here and tell me what you think of this piece”

Chu Chuyan’s eyelids twitched when she saw the words: ‘tranquility yields transcendence’ This was clearly a warning for her to guard against pride and impatience, and to calm her mind first

But Zu An had already arrived at the capital! How could she remain calm?

Chu Chuyan forced herself to utter some faint praise, since she truly needed his help
