The wind on the city wall was quite strong. He pulled her into his embrace, his voice drifting, "With here, you will definitely be safe."
"Chu Yuxiao... It’s not necessary to get the antidote this way..."
"This is the fastest thod."
Su Yan sighed silently, "There are still a few days left, you can give Cang Mo more ti to consider."
Unable to persuade him now, she could only stall for ti, hoping that things might take a turn in a few days.
"Alright, I’ll listen to you, I’ll give them a little more ti." Chu Yuxiao’s dark eyes flickered, he said no more.
Su Yan was settled in a room on the city wall to rest.
Knowing that Chu Yuxiao would not execute these commoners for the ti being, she imdiately relaxed and soon fell asleep.
That sleep was incredibly sweet, and when she awoke, she found herself inside a carriage.
The wide and comfortable carriage moved slowly, gently down the road.
She could not even feel any bumps, it was no wonder she had not woken up until now.
Imdiately, a bad premonition arose in her heart. She lifted the curtain, and the dazzling sunlight stread in, causing her to squint.
Outside, it was not Fengdu City, but an endless countryside, along with so rustling woods and mountains.
A dozen guards were escorting around, but there’s no sign of Chu Yuxiao.
"Stop the carriage!" Su Yan lifted the curtain and jumped down from the carriage.
"Where is this? Where’s the Emperor?"
"Your Highness, the Emperor ordered us to escort you back to the military camp, he will arrive shortly." A guard knelt on one knee, respectfully answering her.
"When did we leave Fengdu City?"
"... It was before dawn, during the hour of the ox."
Around two or three in the morning...
Now, it was almost noon.
If the carriage had not moved so slowly, they would be nearly at the military camp by now.
Why did Chu Yuxiao secretly send her away?
The more Su Yan thought about it, the more terrifying it seed...
Could he really be planning... to massacre the city...
"Turn back imdiately!"
"Your Highness, you mustn’t! The Emperor said..."
"Shut up!" Su Yan pushed aside the guard in front, seized a horse, and mounted it.
