Chapter 875: Chapter 326: The Gifted Director Xu! Farewell, Paper Flying Girl! (3)

The man at the table set down his wine cup, sneering, "I think he’s out of his mind. After the turmoil, all city gates are under strict control, even government officials can’t come and go freely, yet he still thinks about leaving the city? Who else would they arrest if not him?"

"Now the richer someone is, the more scared they are. I heard there was a battle within the Imperial City that day, seems like there was an attempt to force the Emperor’s hand... if there was indeed a change in power, there wouldn’t be enough time to escape..."

"Stop talking nonsense, if people hear, it could cost your head."

"The Ministry of Construction and Jingzhao Mansion are actively repairing and distributing consolation money in batches, at least for now, the situation seems stable."

"The question is, who exactly is behind this affair?"

"This is right at the foot of the Emperor, to cause such a large-scale turmoil, even blowing up temples along with it, the people behind it must have unimaginable power!"

At this moment, the scholar who spoke first glanced around, lowered his voice and said, "I’m telling you, you don’t know yet, but reliable information says the culprit is none other than Heir of Prince Yu, Chu Heng!"

"Hiss, is that real?"

"Now the Prince Yu Mansion gates have been sealed, all family members and staff are detained, can that be false?"

"I can testify to this, my uncle’s son is with the East City Military Department, I heard Chu Heng has escaped from the Imperial Prison, but was killed halfway, right at the hands of Mr. Chen from the Sky Scale Guard!"

"Which Mr. Chen?"

"Who else could it be, it’s certainly Deputy Households Commander Chen from the Fire Department!"

"Seems putting the Princely Heir in prison back then was indeed a foresight..."

Behind the Ritual Gate, two figures stood quietly, listening to the whispered conversation of the people.

"Holy Daughter, it’s been three days already without news from Mr. Chen, has something unexpected happened?" Ye Henshui clenched his fingers around his dress hem, whispered.

"No, Mr. Chen is blessed and will surely be safe, he’s probably just too busy and hasn’t had the time yet." Gu Manzhi said this, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

The current situation in the city is chaotic, the government officers are still searching everywhere. To avoid exposing their identities, Ji Lianxing forbids them from leaving the Imperial Music Bureau even a step.

Yu’er sent someone to inquire at both the Chen Mansion and the Sky Scale Guard, learning that Chen Mo has not returned, they remain anxious all day, every guest they receive, they listen intently, hoping to hear some useful news.

But even after these guests left, they were still without any useful information.

"Forget it, let’s head back, maybe Mr. Chen will surprise us by visiting tomorrow." Gu Manzhi sighed.

"Okay." Ye Henshui nodded, a veil of gloom covering his eyes.

They returned to the bedroom, shut the door, and sat quietly on chairs, creating a rather oppressive atmosphere.

At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly said:

"Long time no see, seems you’re not in good spirits..."
