Chapter 224

?

The Empress blinked in surprise.

Chen Mo's words were too blunt, leaving her momentarily stunned.

"Do you have a grudge against Chu Heng?"

"That's right."

Chen Mo nodded calmly.

The Empress furrowed her delicate brows; Chen Mo and Chu Heng had no visible connection—why had their relationship deteriorated to this extent?

She did not press further, but looked up at Eunuch Jin and asked: "Eunuch Jin, what exactly happened tonight?"

According to Ximen Cheng's account, Ximen Yan had indeed approached him, but Ximen Cheng should not have agreed to Ximen Yan's request—so then, who was the mole?

"Fine, then I'll call you Brother Liang, hehe!" After all, improving his relationship with Chen Liang now would benefit his future development, and Ye Feng was growing more and more fond of Chen Liang—he had substantial assets but no sense of superiority.

I was about to ask who it was when I felt someone gently pat my back; I turned around and saw Ninth Brother shaking his head slightly at me.

After Lady Du left, Xu the Diviner and the others walked over to Ninth Brother and asked what Lady Du had said.

After a long time, the dust slowly cleared, and a slender figure stood forth—Nan Xiang's delicate form emerged slowly; her brows were tightly furrowed, she raised her sleeve to cover her mouth and nose, and coughed hard several times.

Seeing my puzzled expression and Ninth Brother's, Lieutenant Li said: "General He's first wife passed away over ten years ago; this current general's lady is his second wife, named Mingyue, and she is a renowned archaeologist in our country."

"How… how did you do that?" Old Xing's tone had become much more courteous. I pulled out the stone with mysterious power from my chest and told him I couldn't explain it, but it was definitely related to this stone; then I recounted to them what had happened at Gege Wu's and Hong Yan's homes.

Midway through the meal, Chen Tairan's phone suddenly rang; when he answered, it turned out to be Lv Chenbo calling.

When Ling Feng and the others entered the Divine Court, Erha sensed Ling Feng's aura, so when Ling Feng opened the door, Erha slipped in unnoticed. As for why the others didn't notice—it could only be credited to Erha's ability; after all, even the Spirit Sea Realm cultivator Ouyang Ting hadn't detected Erha's presence back then.

Gu Nian and Xiao Jingchen stayed in City C for two days; during those two days, Gu Nian tidied up everything she needed to from her uncle's home and registered with the relevant authorities.

Gu Shi's hatred toward the Bo family's other members stemmed not only from Bo Changshan but also from Xiao Xinyuan's painting studio.

Guan Yu and his two companions were bound tightly and dragged forward; upon seeing Lü Bu, they began to curse. Zhang Fei, impulsive as ever, struggled to fight Lü Bu.

After speaking these words, seeing his three opponents sitting thoughtfully beside the chessboard, Xing Luo smiled faintly, waved his hand, and neatly separated the over three hundred colored chess pieces, returning them undisturbed to their respective boxes.

The teleportation array was built on a flat square, paved with large jade stones emitting a faint spiritual energy; a towering statue stood upright, its back bearing twelve pairs of wings, clad in black robes, its figure massive, its face carved like stone.

Tang Jin followed Chen Bingwen into Jade Capital Garden, walking along paths where various flowers and plants could be seen everywhere; each villa was spaced far apart, with open areas like golf courses and basketball courts, giving the impression of birdsong and floral fragrance, extremely comfortable.

As for whether more factions were involved, no such information had been gleaned from Murong Han's mind.

"Big Brother Qiang, then what should we do?" Tang Jin scratched his head; hearing Big Brother Qiang speak so seriously, he couldn't help but grow worried.
