Chapter 557 (2): Exchange
He then led Su Xi-er out into the courtyard and instructed the guards to take her to another palace hall.
Chu Xian made a seemingly casual comnt before Su Xi-er was taken away. “Tan Ge is with Prince Hao now, but he doesn’t know that you’re here.”
“You’re planning to kill ?” Su Xi-er stopped in her tracks as she asked.
The ti he spent in the Imperial Library flashed past Chu Xian’s mind. He hated the fact that Chao Mu beca the scapegoat, and he hated Su Xi-er for being so careless on that fateful day. But no matter what, I shouldn’t push all the bla to Su Xi-er. She is only a woman.
Won shouldn’t be implicated by conflicts between n.
“Don’t worry, this Emperor won’t do anything to you. Just wait for a few days; I’ll send you back to Prince Hao after I kill Tan Ge.”
At this, Su Xi-er remained silent and left with the guard.
Chu Xian stood in the courtyard for a while, but before he could return to that icy room, one of the guards rushed up to him with a small note. Chu Xian scoffed as he read it. Shi Mo sent Su Xi-er here and sent Tan Ge to Pei Qianhao.
Judging from Pei Qianhao and Du Ling’s thods, it is unlikely for Tan Ge to survive for long. This won’t do. I have to torture and kill Tan Ge with my own hands.
He then spoke with a wave of his hand, “Prepare the carriage. I’m going to invite Prince Hao and the Western Region King here.”
The guard was surprised at this. Prince Hao and the Western Region King were in Dongling? There was no news about this at all!
“Move it.”
The guard left imdiately, and before long, a carriage was prepared.
~~~
In the anti, Tan Ge was in another horse carriage that was surrounded by Beimin’s soldiers. Great, Shi Mo, you sent to Pei Qianhao and Du Ling! Both of them are my enemies. How am I going to get away?!
Tan Ge bit her lip, and she was reminded of the hairpin Shi Mo gave to her. A vicious glint flashed in her eyes. So this is what Shi Mo ant. When up against soone of the opposite gender, even the most formidable man would let their guard down out of overconfidence.
A glimr of hope appeared in her eyes as she began to plot her escape. Shi Mo wants to make use of to deal with Pei Qianhao and Du Ling, and would be satisfied as long as soone was hurt.
As for the carriage in question, it was on its way to the Dongling Palace.
There was an air of nobility around Du Ling and Pei Qianhao as they rode on their horses, causing the commoners who passed to catch their breaths and watch in awe.
They were t with a horse carriage from the Dongling Palace when they were three kilotres away from their destination.
Tan Ge panicked when the carriage stopped, lifting the curtains in an attempt to see what was going on outside.
She could hear the voices of Pei Qianhao, Du Ling, and the voice of Dongling’s new emperor!
What Shi Mo told her resurfaced itself in her mind. I don’t know why Dongling’s new emperor wants you. “Perhaps he has taken a liking to you. You just have to use your body and seduce him.”
Tan Ge clenched her fists. Sothing fishy is going on here. Is Su Xi-er in the hands of Dongling’s new emperor? Is Pei Qianhao going to exchange for Su Xi-er then? But there’s nothing in this for Shi Mo.
Everything seed to be a huge, unsolvable riddle for Tan Ge, her fear and apprehension only growing as ti went on. She thought about jumping off the carriage and escaping, but it was too late once the carriage started moving again. All she could do was listen to the sound of galloping hooves.
