C42 (1/2)

The plot of the country of Western Li was temporarily lifted after the assassination attempt by Zi Yuan, but Zi Yuan immediately rode his horse back to his home after the incident ended.

At this moment, he was healing his injuries. At this moment, the Violet Garden's father, Cheng Huaiye, rushed back after finding out that the Violet Garden had returned. He knocked on the door and said, ”Violet Garden, why have you returned?”

After Zi Yuan left the house of the Marquis to become Helian Xuan Yi's personal guard, he never set foot inside the house again. When he heard his servant say that she was back, he was a bit surprised. He didn't understand why she had suddenly returned, but he found it even more unbelievable that she had actually returned. And from what he heard, he seemed to be injured. Thus, without any hesitation, she rushed to her embroidery building.

When the Violet Garden heard his voice, she put down the things in her hands and turned around to take a look. With a glance, she saw Cheng Huaiye standing not far away with an anxious expression on his face. She did not know what she was. After being injured, she did not return to the palace but to the manor.

There was no expression on her cold face, nor was there any emotion in her voice. She was only answering his question.

”Yes, I'm back.”

As far as Cheng Zi Yuan was concerned, his worry didn't have any feelings. It was as if even this body could not get close to him. There were only some very complicated feelings. However, he had never experienced too much emotion and couldn't tell what these feelings represented. He just looked at the person in front of him with an expressionless face, his face filled with worry.

”Dad, I'm fine. If you're fine, then go rest.”

As soon as her words left her mouth, Cheng Yi knew that she was chasing him away. His heart was filled with bitterness.

On the day he returned, he could not forget how she looked at him with that icy expression, as if he were a stranger to her. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but it was as if a stone was stuck in his throat and he could not make a sound. Finally, he could only sigh.

He gave her a deep look before shaking his head helplessly and leaving. Unexpectedly, as he was turning around, he heard someone say to him, ”Dad, what's the situation in the imperial court?”

When Cheng Huaiye heard his daughter mention this, he also felt gratified. Although he didn't know what his daughter had done, he did know something about her disappearance. However, since his daughter hadn't mentioned it, he didn't want to ask. After all, his daughter had grown up.

Currently, the Emperor is overjoyed. Some people in the Northern Yue State do not dare to act rashly. However, this time, news of Mo Feng and the other two betraying men dying innocently caused the Emperor to be happy.

As he spoke of this, Cheng Ye looked at Zi Yuan, intentionally or unintentionally. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth again, ”Zi Yuan, if there's nothing else, let's head back to the palace. I think the emperor is definitely looking for you as well.”

Who would have thought that he would suddenly say this to her? A strange feeling surfaced in his heart. She suppressed the unnecessary feelings in her heart and nodded emotionlessly at him.

”Yes, I understand, Father.”

After hearing his answer, Cheng Huaiye did not say anything. He only nodded at her with a complicated expression on his face. Cheng Ziyuan did not notice, but after answering a question, he turned around, packed his things, and prepared to leave. She did not look back even when she heard the sound of Cheng's footsteps leaving.

As before, Cheng Zi Yuan returned to the palace without alerting anyone. Helian Xuanyin, who was in the midst of reading a memorial, suddenly felt another aura appear within the palace. He raised his head and saw Cheng Zi Yuan, who was standing nearby. Against the light, he couldn't see the expression on her face. He could only feel that her aura had become even colder.

”You're back?”

He didn't say anything, only nodded his head.

”Yes.” Is there anything else to say? ”

Indeed, there were some things that Zi Yuan wanted to say when he saw Helian Dao asking about the other side. He looked at Helian and said in an orderly manner, ”Yes, I did gather some information there.”

Seeing that Helian Lie was indicating for her to continue, Zi Yuan continued to speak, ”After this assassination, something happened. Mo Feng, Xi Men Qing, and Xi Men Yuan were indeed behind this assassination, and they were being commanded by someone behind the scenes. Moreover, Mo Feng seems to have a certain amount of connections within the country of Bei Yue, and this person's network is some of the resources that belong to Mo Feng.
