Chapter 762 A Crisis Caused by Peonies

It turned out that he took a different side. In this case, why did he talk in such a high-sounding way?

He seemed to be an interesting person, and she might have plenty of chances to meet him in the future.

After the incident, Lin Mengya stopped wandering around and followed Xiaoyu to the inner capital city in a hurry.

The outer capital city, where the buildings were of a primitive style, and the inner capital city were divided by pitch-black stone walls.

The city walls built of black boulders were rough and heavy, giving a strong sense of pressure at a glance.

Ever since Xiaoyu approached the inner capital city, he had put on a solemn look.

Not to mention Xiaoyu, even Lin Mengya became tense.

For Xiaoyu’s sake, she could not make any mistakes.

Compared with the outer capital city, the inner capital city was more heavily guarded.

There were several groups of guards at the city gate carefully checking on and questioning those who intended to get in and out of the inner capital city before letting them pass.

In addition, there seemed to be more people getting in than people getting out, which was a little strange.

Obviously, Lin Zhongyu had noticed this. After instructing his men to protect Lin Mengya, he went up alone to inquire the guards in charge of examination.

After a while, Xiaoyu quickly walked up to her, but he frowned tightly with a sullener look, as if he had come across a difficult problem.

Lin Mengya did not ask about it at once. Judging from Xiaoyu’s expression, it should be something terrible.

Moreover, with plenty of people around, it was not a good place to talk.

After exchanging tacit glances, Lin Mengya and Xiaoyu silently walked forward behind the team entering the inner capital city.

However, when the guards checked on them, Lin Mengya noticed there seemed to be a few wanted posters posted on the bulletin board beside her.

The wanted posters showed several men’s conspicuous portraits.

Nevertheless, few people around went forward to take a look. Most people just stole glances at the wanted posters with strange looks, seeming to be afraid of something.

Lin Mengya looked away composedly and kept this in mind.

The heavy security of the inner capital city probably had something to do with those men on the bulletin board.

With Xiaoyu around, they went smoothly into the inner capital city.

Knowing Xiaoyu had come across a serious problem, Lin Mengya followed him to the imperial palace in the inner city without taking a rest.

The imperial palace in the inner city was in the most central and conspicuous location and of a sedate and dark style which seemed to make it lifeless.

At the sight of the dark buildings, she involuntarily doubted the aesthetic vision of Xiaoyu’s ancestors.

“I’m Wanyan Lie. I’m here to visit Madame Jingrou. Get out of the way,” Wanyan Lie said.

The entrance to the imperial palace was heavily guarded. Ordinary people who tried to approach the imperial palace would immediately be driven away, not to mention get in.

Lin Mengya lowered her head and followed Xiaoyu obediently, trying hard to avoid attracting attention.

However, the guards at the palace gate did not let down their guard completely because of Xiaoyu’s identity.

After looking her up and down several times, they apologized and opened the palace gate.

It seemed that the people in the imperial palace were also tense, otherwise, they would not have instructed the guards to check on the visitors carefully at the risk of offending the visitors.

“My mother lives in the Fengyu Court. I will take you there before going to meet my father. Just now at the gate of the inner capital city, I heard a very strange thing that even my father will probably think a hard nut to crack.” Xiaoyu seized the time to give Lin Mengya some instructions, still looking worried.

Lin Mengya, who was certainly aware of the current situation, nodded with her mind occupied with the thing Xiaoyu mentioned.

The men on the wanted posters on the bulletin board must be criminals, but there were only three of them. She was a little confused about what waves they could make so that even the imperial palace became tremblingly watchful, as if confronted with a formidable enemy.

Thinking over the problem along the way, Lin Mengya was not in the mood to enjoy the rarely seen beautiful scenery in the imperial palace.

After she followed Lin Zhongyu a long way, they finally stopped in front of a palace.

Lin Mengya looked up and saw the three vigorous words “Fengyu Court” engraved above the gate of the palace.

The architectural style of the Fengyu Court was somewhat different from that of the entire imperial palace. Although they were both built with large stones, the Fengyu Court built with a different kind of large stones gave out feminine softness.

Nevertheless, the Fengyu Court was greyish white, somewhat similar to Xiaoyu’s hair color.

Lin Mengya had considered this color dull, but now she found it dignified and sedate.

It seemed that the Emperor of the Lieyun Empire really regarded Madame Jingrou as the apple in his eye so that even her residence was different from the other places in the imperial palace.

Xiaoyu was very familiar with the route here. After he knocked on the palace gate, the palace gate was immediately pushed open, and a panic-stricken palace maid poked her head out.
