The corridor outside was brightly lit, with candles as thick as a baby’s arm set at close intervals.
Candles were also lit on the bridge connecting the east, south, north, and central towers.
Fan Building was illuminated everywhere, dazzling and resplendent.
Most of the n and won passing by were dressed in luxurious attire.
Fan Building was indeed worthy of being the most glamorous and bustling place in the Capital City.
The two had not walked far when they ca across several people head-on.
Lin Shuo’s pupils slightly contracted.
Among these people was one who had previously visited Renxin Hall, the self-proclaid Wanyan Zhang!
Among the rest, two were his guards, who had fought with Lin Shuo that night.
Lin Shuo was about to avoid, but those people had already seen him.
Wanyan Zhang hesitated for a mont, then continued walking forward as if nothing happened.
Lin Shuo pretended not to see them and strode away quickly.
Once Lin Shuo had gone so distance, Wanyan Zhang’s guard said, "Master, isn’t that the guard from Renxin Hall? Why is he in the Capital City?"
Another said, "Since he’s here, that Doctor Gu might also be here."
Wanyan Zhang squinted his eyes, "Have the people sent to Xiang City returned with a ssage?"
Not long ago, he had sent eight people to Xiang City, instructing them to ensure Gu Yunjiao was brought back.
After leaving Xiang City, upon arriving in the Capital City, he sought an audience with the emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty and dispatched an Imperial Physician to Huining.
The news he received now was that his mother’s illness had improved sowhat, her asthma attacks were less frequent, and she could sotis sleep through the night.
Yet Wanyan Zhang was still not satisfied.
He believed that if Doctor Gu could visit, his mother would surely recover completely, rather than just slightly improving.
Moreover, he must obtain the secret formula for the White dicine and the bruise oil she mastered.
He glanced back at Lin Shuo’s departing figure and pondered; logically, since this man was a guard from Renxin Hall, wherever the master goes, the guard follows.
Doctor Gu might indeed be in the Capital City.
Wanyan Zhang nodded slightly, "Did any of you see which room he ca out of just now?"
One of them said, "I saw it, right up ahead."
A few people walked forward a bit, and the guard glanced at the room Lin Shuo had exited, which had two characters written above, "Mingluan".
Wanyan Zhang also saw and instructed, "Go find out who booked this private room just now."
"Once we identify this guard’s identity, then we’ll make a plan."
The guard entered the room, where soone was cleaning, and a waiter approached asking, "Custor, do you have any requests?"
The guard asked, "Who booked this place just now? I thought I saw an acquaintance, but I can’t be sure."
The waiter replied with a smile, "It was a servant from Wu’an Hou Mansion who booked it this morning."
The guard nodded, went out, and reported to Wanyan Zhang.
They walked a short distance before entering a room, where Wanyan Zhang pondered for a mont, "So, Doctor Gu has so connection with Wu’an Hou Mansion? If she’s staying at the Marquis Mansion, that’s indeed troubleso."
He couldn’t possibly storm the Marquis Mansion to seize her!
Wanyan Zhang tapped on the table, "Find soone to keep an eye on Wu’an Hou Mansion, and see if Doctor Gu is really there."
By this ti, Lin Shuo and Jiang Youzhi had reached downstairs, with Lin Shuo glancing upwards, feeling a vague sense of worry.
The two bid each other farewell downstairs, each taking a carriage back to their respective residences.
When Lin Shuo returned ho, a maid ca over to attend to him, helping him take off his clothes and undo his hair.
Just as Lin Shuo was about to go to bed and rest, the maid hesitated for a long while and softly said, "Young master, the lady is ill."
Lin Shuo paused for a mont, looking at her, "What illness? Is it serious?"
