"That's good, then," Elder Gu nodded.
Zhan Yi relaxed a little upon hearing this, but his gaze fell upon Elder Gu and Mr. Li with a hint of disdain.
'Money really is a wonderful thing…'
"Let's go, Mr. Li." Ye Qianning walked out from the main hall.
Mr. Li glanced back inside the room. "The Emperor's verbal decree was to summon Miss Xiang and Prime Minister Gao. But now, Prime Minister Gao is..."
"Why don't we just carry him there?" Ye Qianning suggested.
Mr. Li wouldn't dare. There was blood all over the floor, and it was impossible to tell if the man was still breathing. Even if he was, he probably couldn't speak.
"Forget it. Let's go."
"Mm," Ye Qianning said, taking the lead.
The Hidden Guards all followed.
As Mr. Li was about to follow, his arm was grabbed again by Elder Gu.
"Mr. Li, you must take good care of her." Elder Gu raised his hand and stuffed a silver note into his robe.
"Don't worry, Elder Gu. I will do my best." Mr. Li didn't dare accept it.
