Chapter 487: Chapter 487 Let Her Go _1
“Doctor Xu, how did things go today?”
At the sound of that voice, Chu Lan and Wei Ruo both turned to look at the carriage.
The face of the person who poked her head out was unmistakably Wei Qingruo’s.
A chill settles in Chu Lan’s gaze.
If Xu Heyou is indeed Wei Qingruo, then who is the woman inside the carriage?
Wei Ruo stepped up to the carriage and bowed respectfully to the woman inside, “Replying to Queen Rui, treatment for Young Master Xu has been completed. At present, Young Master Lu, Young Master Xu, and the others who were affected today are no longer in immediate danger.”
“That’s good. It’s getting late, Lord Xu, return to your residence. There are many matters demanding your attention tomorrow.”
“Yes,” Wei Ruo answered.
About to turn around and walk away, Chu Lan blocked Wei Ruo’s path.
At the same time, Wei Jinyi stepped forward and stood protectively in front of Wei Ruo.
Gazing at Wei Jinyi, Chu Lan felt a deadly aura emanating from this seemingly ordinary guard.
“King Jing, kindly step aside,” Wei Jinyi quietly commanded, exerting an air of authority.
Chu Lan didn’t move immediately. His gaze fixed on Wei Ruo, equally sharp. Their stare-down was almost electric, as if sparks were flying between them.
At this moment, it felt as if the air around them had grown thin.
Wei Ruo’s heart pounded. If Chu Lan refused to stand down, a confrontation was inevitable.
Xiumei, also tense, clenched her fists. King Jing was a tough one to deal with. If things escalated, she had to ensure her mistress was safe!
After a few moments, Chu Lan made a move.
He took a step back, making way for Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo.
Relief coursed through Wei Ruo.
In reality, barely a minute or two had passed. But everyone felt as if it had dragged on for hours.
Wei Ruo skillfully mounted her horse right in front of Chu Lan, who made no further attempts to stop her.
Wei Ruo then nudged the horse into action, joining the procession as they rode away.
Chu Lan remained standing, his gaze following the retreating convoy of King Rui’s Residence far into the distance.
Even when they were out of sight, Chu Lan remained rooted to the spot.
The recent turn of events wasn’t completely convincing. He was still suspicious about the identities of Wei Qingruo and Xu Heyou.
If Wei Qingruo could use a master of disguise to transform herself into Xu Heyou, they could also conceivably use someone else to impersonate Wei Qingruo and further confuse matters.
Even the servant named Wang Jin was under suspicion.
But pressing the matter further under these circumstances was pointless.
The one called Wang Jin would never let him near Xu Heyou. If he insisted, it would lead to a conflict between King Jing’s and King Rui’s residences.
Moreover, at this point, he wasn’t certain if he wanted Xu Heyou to be Wei Qingruo.
If it were indeed so, many things linked to Xu Heyou would make sense, simultaneously providing an explanation for the mysteries that had plagued his thoughts for so long.
But if it were really so, she was now Queen Rui, and appeared willing to stay by Chu Yi’s side…
