1685 End of the Throne 1

Why?

That was because Lord Huai whom he wanted to kill was the Head of the Shadow Door. That was why people from the Shadow Door were here.

Gu Chaoyan knew that clearly, but she had no intention of telling the King this.

Catch those people from Shadow Door! The King shouted.

The Deputy General from the imperial army hurried in. My King, please, let me escort you back to Qianqing Palace!

!!

They also wanted to catch those hidden guards, but soon, they realized that the imperial soldiers were not good enough to fight against the people in black. They were all well-trained and highly-skilled. They were not only not wounded, but they were also able to save the prisoners.

It was already lucky for the King not to be wounded.

The King felt quite frightened as well, but he nodded after hearing the Deputy Generals order, and hurried back to Qianqing Palace.

Gu Chaoyan followed behind him, leisurely.

The Shadow Door would surely save them all, so there was nothing to worry about.

As they left the gate, the King slowed down. Go and arrange as many guards for me as possible. The a.s.sa.s.sins are now in the court, and we are not safe!

Having said this he s.h.i.+vered in fright.

Gu Chaoyan said, I am the King! You are the Phoenix Girl! We have a.s.sa.s.sins in the court, so you should guard me, that is your responsibility!

I dont think that is my responsibility. Not to mention that you have been threatening me all the time. Why should I guard you? Gu Chaoyan interrogated, without listening to the Kings orders.

Gu Chaoyan! The King shouted furiously.

If you didnt try to kill the innocent, the a.s.sa.s.sins would never have come. It is your fault. Lord Huai escaped, but he has never made any mistakes. You grounded him because he is engaged to me! Gu Chaoyan sneered as she looked at the King. Just think about it yourself, King. I already gave you a chance.

Having said that, Gu Chaoyan turned around and left.

The King was totally unsaveable.

She had just come to persuade the King to release those innocent people, but it was the last chance she would give him.

The King looked at her with bulging eyes, and was about to get people to stop her, when people from Piaomiao Pavilion pa.s.sed by. The King suddenly thought of something. Elder Qianji!

He had truly lost his patience to speak with the King, so he left with Wuxing.

The King cursed behind his back, hurrying back to Qianqing Palace.

Elder, what is going on? Why didnt you speak with the King? Wuxing asked confusedly as they left him.

Elder Qianji sneered.

He had no interest in spending any time on things that were useless.

They had picked the wrong target to waste so much energy on.

Elder Qianji looked at Wuxing. Do you believe that the King will lose his throne soon? Why must I spend effort on him?

Why?
