Chapter 197: Chapter 179: Surrounded by the Sound of Chu Songs

Walking in front of Chu Yu was Liu Ziyue’s most favored eunuch, Hua Yuan’er, while behind Chu Yu were four Imperial Palace Guards.

These five people had been waiting to meet her at the palace gates and escorted her all the way to Liu Ziyue, and now they were escorting her out of the palace again. To call it an escort was more like a surveillance to ensure she didn’t escape.

Chu Yu sneered in her heart, she couldn’t fly nor burrow into the ground, and within the tightly guarded Imperial Palace, how could she possibly escape?

When they were halfway to the palace gates, Chu Yu suddenly stopped, turned to look far off to the left, and saw a figure in purple standing in the distance, it was Tian Rujing.

Chu Yu looked at Tian Rujing, and Tian Rujing also looked at her, their gazes locked steadfastly. Chu Yu’s eyes on him, she lightly said to Hua Yuan’er, who had also stopped in front of her,

She spoke without any respect in her tone. When Chu Yu was previously favored by Liu Ziyue, who in the palace dared to be disrespectful? Yet now, in just a moment, even an eunuch could show disdain to her.

Chu Yu cast a cold glance at Hua Yuan’er and said with a shallow smile on her face, “Being a fair-weather friend also requires skill. Today the wind may blow south, but who can ensure it won’t blow north again? If you can guarantee the wind never changes, then this Princess will be truly impressed.”

Via her words, Chu Yu was threatening Hua Yuan’er; although she was out of favor at the moment, she might well have a chance to turn the tables in the future. If she ever returned to power, she would surely retaliate against those who kicked her when she was down.

Hua Yuan’er shivered with realization, understanding Chu Yu’s meaning, and quickly put on a smile, while Chu Yu got her wish to speak with Tian Rujing alone, having the four semi-men keep their distance.

In the deserted garden of the Deserted Cold Palace, weeds and brambles were everywhere. Coincidentally, this was the very place where they had first spoken alone, and where Chu Yu had learned of the bracelet’s defensive capabilities.

Seeing Hua Yuan’er and the rest had retreated far enough, Chu Yu turned to face Liu Ziyue and smiled,

Tian Rujing pursed his lips, looking somewhat unnatural as he seriously responded to her greeting, which was merely intended as an opening remark,

Chu Yu looked at Tian Rujing oddly for a while before saying,

One had to admit, this side of Tian Rujing seemed a bit more human. Of course, to her, this humanity served no purpose.

Chu Yu thought with a stern face.

Tian Rujing was not someone who enjoyed idle talk. Chu Yu had approached him not to reminisce but to level an accusation. After a brief silence, Chu Yu directly voiced her question,

Even though she knew Liu Ziyue had little reason to lie to her, Chu Yu still found it hard to believe.

Tian Rujing’s dust-free, serene face remained calm as ever, and after a while, he parted his lips to say,

It was he who had done it.

He had admitted to it.

Chu Yu’s anger exploded in an instant. She did not lose her composure to scream, but her expression was angrier and more bitterly sharp than if she had,

It wasn’t the estrangement with Liu Ziyue that enraged her, nor was it the loss of the sly rabbit’s dens across the different locales. What pained her were the people who had made promises with her to look after those properties.

Among these people were some of her most reliable subordinates and officials she had specifically requested from Liu Ziyue. She had made beautiful promises, enticing them into doing her bidding, and some had even relocated their entire families to those homes. Now, it was likely all these people had fallen to Zong Yue’s blade.

She had witnessed Zong Yue’s ruthlessness; the Demon General, who could bring himself to kill mere children, would have no reason to spare the families of those Liu Ziyue wished dead.

A rough count revealed that over a hundred people had died because of this, and all these people died because of her!

And the origin of it all was due to a casual remark from Tian Rujing.
