Chapter 220: First Encounter With Su Miaolan (1)

The convoy went on, this time, without Gong Yi Mo delaying their progress. They traveled very quickly, and within ten days, arrived at the Imperial Capital.

Gong Yi Mo hasn't been away for that long, but by the time she returned, everything seems to have changed.

Moreover, she didn't know whether it was her illusion or not, but she always felt a sense of danger everywhere. Rather than joy for the New Year, there was a feeling of crisis and tension.

After staring outside for some time, she pulled down the curtain, closed her eyes, and thought deeply.

The convoy didn't attract much attention upon entering the city in such a low-key fashion. They traveled all the way to the palace gate while Gong Yi Mo stayed outside and waited.

Many of these people were spies sent by other people in the palace, but they have now been trained under Gong Jue for more than a year.

Those schemers in the palace offered money and many other unexpected benefits, but this prince's means were much crueler. Anyone who thinks of offending or betraying him trembled at the consequences.

Thus, these young people were assured that they will be rewarded well serving under Prince Gong Jue, but they also had no doubt that if they betrayed him, their fate will be worse than staying alive.

They eagerly voiced out their loyalty, expecting the money to soon follow. Gong Jue waved in annoyance and the group immediately quieted down. Afterwards, the team continued to move forward.

On the palace road, they came across another group of sedan chairs, seemingly owned by women of a prominent family.

Su Miaolan had a heavy heart. When she heard her maidservant's reply, she pulled her curtain open, only to see a dark and simple, yet dignified carriage. Such an ordinary carriage, but the four horses pulling it were definitely rare breeds. After pondering for a moment, she could almost guess who it was coming her way!

When she recalled the Ninth Prince, His Royal Highness who made exceptional achievements in Xi Zhou, her beautiful eyes moved. She ordered her servants to step aside the palace road, and to help her out of her sedan chair.

At the moment, Gong Jue had his eyes closed, until he heard a certain female voice, which was low and soft, but very attractive.

He frowned slightly, feeling impatient to deal with these unimportant people. But when he heard the woman's self-introduction, he moved a finger. Wasn't this the woman who bullied Sister Gong at the tea party?
