Chapter 1314



1314 Hiding in hiding

As soon as he finished speaking, the maidservant who had gone to call for someone came back.

She said that the Murong sisters weren’t in the room. After asking around, they found out that no one saw the Murong sisters, but someone saw Murong leave the fu early in the morning.

The tenth Princess panicked and fainted.

Yan Mo ordered his men to look after the tenth Princess and asked the maidservant when the people who saw Lord Murong leave the residence had seen him.

The maidservant reported that she had left not long after they returned.

Yan Mo thought for a moment and decided to enter the palace immediately.

The princess’s Manor was not far from the palace. Yan Mo rode his horse there and asked Gu Hui at the city gate if she had just arrived. The city guard said that they had just entered not far away.

Yan Mo got off his horse and went after Gu Hui.

Gu Hui, who was hiding at the side, happened to see Yan Mo come in. She was able to hide because of her intuition.

Had Yan Mo discovered it so quickly? Or did Jinghe and sanniang get discovered?

Gu Hui went to Peng ze’s residence from the other side. She had a better status than Yan Mo, who had to go to the Queen’s place before entering the palace. Gu Hui was a guard of the palace and was wearing a guard uniform. No one would suspect her if she walked around the palace.

Gu Hui arrived at Peng ze’s residence and knocked out the guard.

let’s go. Yan Mo has found out. Gu Hui immediately took the clothes of the person she had knocked unconscious and threw them to Peng ze.

Peng ze was shocked. He changed his clothes and Gu Hui helped him tidy up. The two of them left quickly.

After a while, Queen Dugu came back with Yan Mo.

“Your Majesty, you see, I didn’t lie to you. The three Murong sisters have disappeared, and Pengze has also disappeared.” Yan Mo knelt on one knee and said with his head lowered.

Queen Dugu looked at Yan Mo with a frown. She wasn’t sure if this was a show that Yan Mo had put on for her, or if they had lied to her and Yan Mo.

“I’ve already ordered for all the exits of the palace to be sealed. They won’t be able to escape even if they have wings! Yan Mo, you better not be lying to me. Otherwise, all of you will die today!” Queen Dugu emphasized the last word.

Queen Dugu ordered her confidants to search the palace immediately.

Gu Hui and Peng ze did not manage to escape the palace safely as they did not have enough time. The two of them hid in a rockery and listened to the footsteps outside as well as the sounds of people searching.

Peng ze held Gu Hui’s hand. Gu Hui, I’ll go out and draw them away. You can wash your face and leave through the palace gates.

Gu Hui shook her head. Yan Mo has seen me before. He only needs to draw a few of my original looks. I still can’t escape. Pengze, I’m more worried about Jinghe and he sanniang. Why would Yan Mo suddenly attack? He was still fine last night.”

Peng ze also couldn’t imagine how Yan Mo had found out. He took Gu Hui’s hand and said, ” “If they start to look for fake mountains, we’ll kill our way out. Our lives won’t be in danger. When the great Zhou Army attacks, they’ll only let us live. Of course, it would be best if you could escape without being caught.”

“Yes,” Gu Hui nodded.

An hour later, the entire Palace was searched, but no one was found.

Queen Dugu looked at Yan Mo suspiciously.

“All the fake mountains in the palace can hide people under the water,” Yan Mo said. Peng ze is the general of the Peng family’s Army’s Navy. His ability to hold his breath is first-class. There’s no harm in having people search these places!”

The search team looked at Queen Dugu, who nodded in agreement with Yan Mo.

Hearing the commotion outside, Gu Hui and Peng ze took out their weapons. They could only charge out.
