The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 677 Doesn't Want to Break It
Oi! I am an article!
After hearing that, Ye Wushuang instead smiled bitterly and helplessly: “It seems that my identity has been recognized by Ji Xingfeng, the 4th Prince of the Qi Country, surely he was not feeling good to face the City Lord directly, therefore he sent people to secretly kill me. He that is not an easy person to provoke, I will leave Wuyou Castle tomorrow, lest it cause trouble for Wuyou Castle.”
Even though she knew She Jingtian would protect her, but somehow at this moment Ye Wushuang did not want to bother her too much, not wanting to implicate her. Because Ye Wushuang understood, if she knew that she was still alive then not only Ji Xingfeng was, but Ji Xingyun would not let go either.
Oi! I am an article!
She Jingtian was not worthy of facing the entire Qi Country just for her sake.
“Kak Wushuang? You're going?” Min’er clasped her hands in fear, her eyes filled with disrelief as well as sadness.
She Jingtian was also stunned for a moment, her expression was a bit hesitant, raised her eyes then looked at Ye Wushuang's stern and determined expression, She Jingtian knew that if she didn't say anything, she knew that if she didn't, then Ye Wushuang would definitely leave.
His heart was truly uncomfortable, subconsciously wanting to grasp something.
Oi! I am an article!
“You can't go.”
“Why?” There was actually no need to ask anything, as long as She Jingtian said this remark, Ye Wushuang already felt very satisfied.
“Because the person sent to kill you is not from the State of Qi.”
“Not from Qi Country? Lord City Lord must not lie to me.” Ye Wushuang thought that remark was just an excuse to comfort herself.
“Hong Luan?” Ye Wushuang was even more surprised, wasn't that the lady was She Jingtian's subordinate? The matter between them was not too big either, why would Hong Luan send people to kill her?
“Yes, they are people from Zhuque Pavilion, there are jade tokens as proof.”
“I see, no wonder those people were so mean and cruel to me earlier, but they didn't dare to act one bit at you.” Ye Wushuang said as she thought, recalling the danger just now, Ye Wushuang thought it was Ji Xingfeng's deed, unexpectedly, other than the person from the Qi Country, there were still others who wanted to harm her.
“Wu Shuang, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation on this matter.” She Jingtian was afraid that Ye Wushuang would think too much, her eyes staring at Ye Wushuang with full assurance.
Ye Wushuang instead smiled faintly, as if not caring at all: “It was a person belonging to the Lord City Lord, Master can handle it myself, I will have no complaints at all.” How could Ye Wushuang not know that She Jingtian also felt difficulties, on the one hand was a person who had a mind to her, on the one hand was her most loyal subordinate, no matter which side, on the other, that was enough to make him dizzy.
“It's late, I'll take you home.” She Jingtian said nothing more, only that the look on her calm face showed her unhappiness. As the leader of Wuyou City, She Jingtian couldn't even protect the two most important women by his side, what qualifications did he have to sit in this position?
“Master, no, don't..”
“I'll say it again, hand over your Zhuque Token.”
The woman kneeled on the floor, her face tearful, in the end helplessly, both of her hands tremblingly handed over an emerald jade token. The pattern on the jade was coincidentally exactly the same as the jade pattern hanging on the waist of the masked assassin yesterday, except for the additional word “Pavillion” Leader on it.
“Uncle Long, grab that token.”
The old man standing beside She Jingtian let out a heavy sigh, his white eyebrows slightly furrowed, he walked slowly towards the woman, shook his head then took the jade token from her hand. As he looked back, the look in his eyes turned to compassion.
Hong Luan stared desperately as the old man picked up the only thing that showed his identity, his tears flowing even more, but the man sitting on the seat of honor seemed as if he had not seen it.
