2772 Highness Ying 3 (1/2)

Gu Xin Yan sat alone at the corner of the banquet hall. Everything that had just happened caused the City Lords of the 72 cities to be at a loss, but all this had nothing to do with her. She was just a spectator, protecting that little bit of calm in her heart in a night of fluctuating emotions.

”Miss.” A voice sounded in Gu Xin Yan's ears.

Gu Xin Yan slowly raised her head and saw Ye Mei, who was dressed as a housekeeper, standing in front of her.

”My Lord has requested for you to go to the backyard for a short while. Would Miss be willing to?” Ye Mei said.

Gu Xin Yan froze a little, subconsciously she wanted to refuse, but suddenly a pair of slightly familiar eyes appeared in her mind. She swallowed her refusal. She did not immediately reply but looked towards the two guards, who were sent by Highness Ying, standing beside her.

The two guards thought for a moment before nodding slightly.

Gu Xin Yan then said to Ye Mei: ”Alright.”

”Then, please follow me.” Ye Mei smiled.

Gu Xin Yan left her table as many people at the banquet watched. It wasn't that they didn't think to suck up to Highness Ying, but they were so overwhelmed by Jun Wu Xie that they didn't have time to think about other things.

Ye Mei took Gu Xin Yan to the backyard of the city's official residence, and the two accompanying guards went everywhere Gu Xin Yan went.

Under the moonlight, with less noise and bright lights of the banquet hall, the courtyard seemed slightly deserted and very quiet. The courtyard was filled with the faint fragrance of grass, unlike the sweet smell of flowers, but it suited the cool, moonlit night.
