Once she finished, she followed Ying Feng out and towards the city wall. At this time, Gong Jue’s horse carriage arrived there too.

  Because Gong Che had dismissed everyone, there was no one here to open the door for Gong Jue. Who knew that their first time seeing each other after a year was under this tense atmosphere.

  Luo Qi whispered something towards the horse carriage’s window and moments later, the curtains were moved to the side. Gong Jue walked out and he raised his head to see Gong Che by the city wall alone, smiling.

  “Royal brother, why did you shut the city door, refusing to let this royal brother into the capital?”


  Gong Che heard this and waved his hands, sending someone to call for the soldiers guarding the city. He looked down at Gong Jue’s hateful face and felt unwilling to accept this situation.

  Why did he have to come? Just a bit. Just a bit and he would’ve been able to know if that person was Mo’er!

  Therefore, he really couldn’t force a smile. He said in an extremely rude tone, “Royal brother, please wait momentarily!”


  Sensing his attitude, Gong Jue slightly squinted his eyes.

  Luo Qi said that he saw a person chatting with the Crown Prince from afar and once he arrived, the person had left. It was a very normal matter, but he felt like something was off about this.

  Who was that person? Did Yu Heng send them over? Could it be royal sister?

  When he thought of this, he held a fervent attitude, raising his head to say to Gong Che, “Royal brother, may I ask who the other person on the city wall with you was? Why did they leave suddenly?”


  Gong Che’s heart skipped a beat and he responded in a gloomy tone, “Just a friend. You don’t know them.”


  “Could it be Yu Heng’s friend?” Gong Jue sneered.

  “Presumptuous!” Gong Che was infuriated. “Are you saying that I am colluding with outsiders?”


  Gong Jue asked, “Is that not the case?”
