Chapter 558.1: everything within control (1/2)

The horse carriage procession gradually faded into the distance as it headed for the imperial palace.

Not long after, a man in cyan clothes appeared, a devilish smile forming at his lips.

Everything is within my grasp. All that’s left is to see how Tan Ge performs. If she fails, I can only resort to a crueler method.

A moment later, Shi Mo swiftly left, leaving the streets empty again.

As the carriage travelled towards the imperial palace, Tan Ge’s heart pounded with anxiety with every clop of the horse’s hooves.

Why are Pei Qianhao and Du Ling bringing me to Dongling’s imperial palace? Do they know that Dongling’s new emperor wants me? Even if that’s the case, why are they using me to exchange for Su Xi-er?

Her brows furrowed as she thought about it more, only becoming more confused.

The carriage sped up, and they soon entered the imperial palace. Tan Ge lifted the curtains slightly and noticed that Pei Qianhao and Du Ling had already dismounted their horses, and were currently following a guard in another direction.

Dongling’s new emperor was just here, but where is he now?

Despite her confusion, Tan Ge suddenly made eye contact with a handsome man clad in dragon robes when she turned her head.

This is...Dongling’s new emperor?!

Tan Ge’s heart leapt in shock.

Why does Dongling’s new emperor look so much like Shu Xian?!

His cold and emotionless eyes gave Tan Ge the shivers.
