Grand Preceptor Xie didn't enter the bedroom He ordered the servants to carry Chen Lu out to speak When he noticed how Chen Lu's face was beyond recognition, his brows furrowed He was all fired up ”Did Pei Yan do this?”
”It o assassins When Pei Yan arrived with his men, the two assassins fled I'm not sure why”
The assassins fled when they saw Pei Yan? They weren't sent by Ning Yu? Grand Preceptor Xie was unconvinced
Chen Lu didn't dare to lie about his attack Grand Preceptor sent the assassins If he insisted putting the blame on Pei Yan, Grand Preceptor would definitely suspect him Why would he defend the assassins?
Suddenly, the outer room turned silent The two sat face to face with heavy loads on theirpause, Grand Preceptor Xie spoke again ”How is Lady Xu?”
”Her injuries are very severe” Chen Lu spluttered with his head down ”The physician said the assassin nearly stabbed her vital organs I-I'm lucky my wife didn't die”
Grand Preceptor Xie noticed Chen Lu was speaking with his fists clenched He was shaking fro Don't worry, this old hed in a low voice
”Thank you, Grand Preceptor” Chen Lu thanked Grand Preceptor Xie and lowered his head even s difficult for you?” Grand Preceptor Xie continued on with his questions
This ti up nonsense During his ainst the back of a chair and turned red As a result, Grand Preceptor Xie assuant Pei Yan We'll let the bastard enjoy his last few days After this old ets rid of the monarch, I will let you personally handle Pei Yan”
When Chen Lu heard the part about 'getting rid of the ans started to treets rid of the monarch, both him and his ill be dead for sure
”Take proper care and heal This old man has already spoken to the physician He said you're only injured externally You'll be fine in a few days” Grand Preceptor Xie stood up and approached Chen Lu, speaking softly
Chen Lu wanted to get up, but failed after multiple attempts Grand Preceptor Xie patted him on the shoulder ”There's no need to follow so et better as soon as possible This old man will need to rely on you for what's to come”
Chen Lu nodded ”Grand Preceptor, His Majesty is actually fine?”
Grand Preceptor Xie lightly patted Chen Lu on the shoulder again and turned to leave
Chen Lu howled incoherently ”Grand Preceptor!!”
With his back facing Chen Lu, Grand Preceptor Xie waved his hand and pushed opened the door Originally, Chen Lu didn't feel nervous But after watching Grand Preceptor leave, he realized his hands and legs were icy cold on a hot summer day
When Grand Preceptor Xie left the Chen Estate, a guard ca in the direction of the Supreme Splendor Hall”
”Return to my estate” Grand Preceptor Xie entered his sedan and commanded

”General, Grand Preceptor has left” one of Chen Lu's coement sound and held onto the armrests with both his hands as he painfully stood up The way he was slowly taking his steps made it appear as if he had just ca this, Lady Xu's eyes turned red She wanted to cry, but ed to suppress it At this time, what can tears do?
The bed sank a little as Chen Lu sat down next to Lady Xu ”Grand Preceptor has left”
Lady Xu nodded
”Your father may very likely be on his ith his troops Would your father believe a letter he receives on the road?” Chen Lu was stressed out
”If my father isn't already on his way, then the letter that I wrote would be useless”
”What do youat hoet my letter and rush to the capital, ould probably already be dead” Lady Xu stated in a ers Camp doesn't show up, then technically, we didn't really…” Chen Lu spilled his thoughts
”…didn't really betray Xie Wenyuan?” Lady Xu helped Chen Lu coreat effort
”There's so else I haven't told you yet” Lady Xu looked at Chen Lu and regurgitated what happened between her, Ning Xiaoyao and Lou Zigui After listening to his wife, Chen Lu felt as if he was standing at the top of an overhanging cliff Regardless if he took a step forward or back, he would be crushed
”I don't care if Xie Wenyuan really poisonedas His Majesty is able to cure my illness, he is my benefactor”
”How could you eat poison?” Chen Lu was appalled
”How else would His Majesty and Supre the rise or fall of our country Verbal prohua, ah!”
”General, ould you do?”
Chen Lu revealed a bittersweet expression ”Even if we try our best, wethat ant in the end”
”Then we'll die together” Lady Xu reony
”The letter is in Pei Yan's hands His Majesty will definitely take a look before sending it out of the capital Our proof of betraying Grand Preceptor Xie will be in His Majesty's hands So, General, His Majesty must be the ultimate winner”
”If you clearly knew that His Majesty is going to keep the original letter, why did you let Pei Yan deliver it?”
Lady Xu raised her brows and gave Chen Lu a look
Chen Lu: …my wife did it on purpose to deamble your life to show loyalty?
Lady Xu could hear Chen Lu panting loudly To prevent hireater anxiety, she decided not to tell hi His Majesty in the mouth
”General,” the older maidservant's voice could be heard behind the doors ”Grand Preceptor sent another physician over to look after our lady's injuries”
Lady Xu coldly laughed ”Trying to buy his way into people's hearts again?”
