Yun Qianyu continued walking forward, and Gong Sangmo immediately adopted a pitiful mode to seek sympathy.
“Qianyu, I haven’t had dinner yet!”
Yun Qianyu finally stopped and glanced at Gong Sangmo, who immediately cooperated by making a pitiful expression.
“Come in, I’ll have Hong Su make you something to eat.”
Yun Qianyu knew that Gong Sangmo wasn’t lying, and judging from the time, he had gone straight to pick red beans after leaving the palace and had rushed back, so he really didn’t have time for dinner.
“Okay.” Gong Sangmo immediately agreed.
After entering Yun Qianyu’s bedroom, Gong Sangmo ignored the strange looks from Chen Xiang and the others, placed the brocade box on the table, rolled up his sleeves, and washed them in the basin of water that Yu Nuo had brought. Then he sat down at the table and waited for Hong Su’s food. It was as natural as if he did this every day.
Hong Su was incredibly busy tonight. After preparing dinner, she cooked porridge for Murong Cang, and now she was preparing dinner for Xian Wang. She felt like she was the only cook left in the entire Nanlou Kingdom.
However, thinking of the noble status of those who ate her food, she felt a little proud and didn’t feel tired anymore.
When Feng Ran returned, he saw Gong Sangmo enjoying dinner in Yun Qianyu’s palace. The excitement of defeating Hua Manxi vanished instantly.
Gong Sangmo glanced at Feng Ran’s disheveled clothes and raised a phoenix eye, “Not an easy victory!”
Feng Ran choked and snorted coldly.
Hong Su immediately said, “Feng Ran, I saved some food for you.”
Feng Ran nodded, “Master, Han Zhu has arrived.”
Yun Qianyu’s beautiful eyes immediately brightened and sharpened.
“After you finish eating, take him to the Golden Palace, the Imperial Study, and the Emperor’s bedchamber to check them out, as well as Yujian. Remember to tell Grandpa to be discreet, and don’t touch anything you find yet.”
“Understood.” Feng Ran responded and left.
“Han Zhu?” Gong Sangmo had finished eating and put down his chopsticks.
“Situ Hanzhu, Situ Hanyi’s half-brother.”
“Isn’t he dead?”
“He was almost killed by Situ Hanyi’s mother. Luckily, I happened to be passing by and saw that he was still breathing, so I saved him.”
“Oh!”
“What happened in the palace?”
“A trap has been set in the Golden Palace, right where Yujian stands every day. The other end of the trap is the Dragon Throne.” Yun Qianyu’s words were concise, but Gong Sangmo immediately understood.
“Is the target Yujian?”
“I don’t know yet. Han Zhu should understand after he sees it.”
Yun Qianyu didn’t personally check the trap in the Golden Palace, but she had a guess in her heart. The possibility of the target being Murong Cang was very small, because Murong Cang didn’t have much time left. Others might not know, but the person who poisoned him certainly did. Therefore, Yujian was more likely the target. If Yujian was removed, Murong Cang’s last lifeline would snap; then how could he possibly miss the throne? So, in her heart, she agreed with Gong Sangmo’s conjecture.
Gong Sangmo’s handsome brows furrowed slightly. Someone had actually set a trap silently in the palace, and in the most heavily guarded Golden Palace, yet his men hadn’t noticed a thing. What had he overlooked?
Gong Sangmo didn’t leave. He instructed Sanqiu, who was hiding in the shadows, to return to the Xian Wang’s residence and fetch him the ice silkworm silk.
After Sanqiu left, Gong Sangmo asked Chen Xiang to bring him a sewing needle.
Chen Xiang brought the needle with a puzzled expression.
Gong Sangmo opened the sandalwood brocade box, and Chen Xiang saw the red beans inside. She instinctively looked at Yun Qianyu, who was looking at Gong Sangmo with a normal expression.
