Chapter 1221: Chapter 1220: The Human Heart, Treacherous and Dangerous

"Last night, the Emperor rushed to Lingjiu Hall. For some reason, he suddenly returned to his sleeping quarters, and many are speculating if the Emperor has contracted some strange illness that has left him bedridden."

For Gan Shiyi, the Nanming Emperor was an outsider.

Therefore, when he talked about Chu Jiangnan’s affairs, he did not mix in any personal emotions.

"From last night until now, the Nanming Emperor has been staying in his sleeping quarters without coming out."

"What about... Yexuan?" In regard to Chu Jiangnan’s affairs, Chu Qianli herself did not understand why she cared a little more.

Feng Yexuan was always by Chu Jiangnan’s side, wasn’t he? It would be unlikely for him to have no activity for so long.

"Yexuan left the city last night and has not returned. It’s unknown whether he’s been secretly assigned some mission; his whereabouts are extremely mysterious, and our people have absolutely no control over it."

Shiyi looked at Chu Qianli, wanting to say something but hesitated.

He finally glanced at Lan Qing, who was not far away.

Chu Qianli also turned to look at Lan Qing.

He sat quietly on the tatami mat she had laid out, and by now, he had calmed down.

When he is quiet, he once again becomes the usual him, with indifference and a sense of detachment, light as the breeze, gentle as the clouds.

Only Chu Qianli knew that in his heart, he was actually very anxious about the Emperor and the Imperial Palace.

"Speak your mind. After all, he was injured because of me; in a sense, I dragged him down."

Although they had agreed not to talk about who dragged whom down, whatever the case, the matter was indeed related to her.

"This time, they are targeting both me and the Emperor. When it comes down to it, it is we who have implicated you."

Lan Qing, though he resided in Lingjiu Hall and was indifferent to worldly affairs, had a mind clear as a mirror.

"The Prince Yuxuan had invited my senior brother over to take my place. As long as he holds the power of Lingjiu Hall, he would be more confident in dealing with the Emperor."

"Although the Emperor currently holds the power, within the court of Nanming, there are quite a few officials from the Neutral Faction."

He looked towards the direction from which Chu Qianli’s voice was coming, and for a moment, he still found it difficult to adjust to the fact that he had become blind.

Seeing nothing, the whole world was pitch black—it was a feeling of profound despair.

"The master of Lingjiu Hall is not irreplaceable; anyone, as long as they can become the faith of the people, is qualified to serve."

"What kind of person is your senior brother? From what you say, he should have had the opportunity to become the State Preceptor, right?"

At that time, Lan Fan was fully preoccupied with revenge, which was why he failed to notice someone lurking around.

When Chu Qianli came back and waited to rescue Lan Qing, she heard some of Lan Fan’s resentful words.

Was he originally the rightful heir to the position of State Preceptor?

"He was the master’s eldest disciple. At that time, knowing that his own end was near and I was still young, the master indeed considered passing the position of State Preceptor onto my senior brother."

"Unexpectedly, my senior brother not only harbored ulterior motives, but also secretly delved into forbidden practices of poison-making. He even indulged in carnal pleasures with women, violating... violated the taboos of our Lan Family lineage."

"In other words, the heirs of your Lan Family..."

Chu Qianli looked at him and couldn’t help but sigh lightly: "Are doomed to remain alone for life without the chance of love, marriage, or children, right?"

What a pity, such a beautiful exterior.

Lan Qing nodded: "My senior brother broke all the precepts and in the end, to destroy the evidence, even personally... personally killed the woman who carried his own flesh and blood."

Chu Qianli trembled, suddenly feeling a chill in her heart.

The human heart is treacherous; indeed, there are such despicable and terrifying people in this world.

Suddenly, Gan Shiyi saw something and hurriedly said, "Miss, there’s an urgent message!"
