C199 (1/2)

Mo Lianyun remained silent as though she did not hear his words.

Mo Lianxuan took a step forward, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder a few times, ”I'll give you some time to think it over, I hope you won't disappoint me.”

With that said, Mo Lianxuan raised his leg and left.

Looking at his back, Mo Lianyun swept a glance over the previous silence, and the smile that had disappeared returned, cold as an ice blade.

Within the palace.

Emperor An finally made a decision, ”We will follow you to ask the State Grandmaster a few words, but you cannot act rashly. The life of the State Grandmaster is more important than anything else.”

Su Li nodded, ”This subject knows.”

If the result was really that the State Grandmaster had colluded with the Bei Yue, the Emperor An would probably arrange for the State Grandmaster to undergo another round of cultivation. Just like eight years ago, they would look for the same face and learn the Star Observation Divination Technique that the State Grandmaster had.

The two of them exited the main hall and brought their men to the side hall.

On the way, Su Li was still thinking about his previous guess.

In the palace, other than State Grandmaster, there were also other people who colluded with Bei Yue.

But there was no evidence. She had no way of knowing who it was.

If she could not find any information related to Mo Lianjin from her teacher, she would risk it all to probe the person whom she had guessed at.

No matter what, Mo Lianjin must not let anything happen to him!

The side palace wasn't too far away from the main palace hall. After exiting the main palace hall to the left was the residence of the Imperial Advisor.

The Imperial Advisor was heavily injured and the imperial physician had been taking care of him in the side hall.

When the two of them entered the palace, the Imperial Advisor was still lying on the bed. His face was pale, without a single trace of life.

Emperor An waved his sleeves, and the imperial physician tactfully withdrew.

There were only three people left in the side chamber.

The Imperial Advisor calmly cast a sidelong glance at the two of them without a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Then, he calmly withdrew his gaze. He seemed to have expected something, but he didn't care.

Emperor An looked at Su Li, then walked to the high seat and sat down.

Su Li took a few steps towards the bed, and directly stared at the State Grandmaster, ”Did you predict the lightning would happen on the day the Bei Yue diplomatic mission entered the capital, and reveal it to them?”

”No.” The Imperial Adviser calmly denied.

”When I went to the Venerate Heavens Sect that day, I discovered a circle of yellowing marks on the soles of your shoes. It was chicken soup.”

The Imperial Advisor did not speak, nor was he in a hurry.

Su Li pursed her lips, she really wanted to cut open the innards of State Grandmaster and see how different his heart was from that of an ordinary person's.

However, she also knew that in a game of war, whoever was the most impatient would lose!

”Fifth Prince and I went to a restaurant near the city gate to inquire. On the day the diplomatic mission entered the city, a man wearing a mask appeared in a restaurant. The waiter panicked and knocked over the chicken soup!”

”So, on the day the diplomatic mission entered the city, you appeared in the restaurant.”

Only then did State Grandmaster meet Su Li's gaze, ”This can't be considered evidence.”

Su Li bit her lower lip. She knew that this could not be counted as evidence, so she had never placed this matter on the table.

The Imperial Advisor had denied everything. Although this was within her expectations, she was still caught unprepared to face them head on.

She could only use her courage to trick him, using her falsehood.

”You are the Bei Yue people!”

When those five words came out, not only did it sound like he was the State Grandmaster, even the high ranking Emperor An had turned serious.

The State Grandmaster looked at Su Li for a long time before turning to look at the Emperor An, ”Your Majesty knows who I am better than me. If Your Majesty suspects me, you can kill me.”

Emperor An was speechless.

The Imperial Advisor slowly closed his eyes, not saying a word.

Su Li looked at Emperor An and started to panic.

There was a Life and Death Gu between her and Mo Lianjin.
