"The Emperor ordered Zhang Fengcai to deploy all his Inner Supervision personnel, yet suddenly summoned me to the palace without stating any purpose."
The bold calligraphy, its ink seeping through the paper, blurred the characters, but they were still legible.
Gu Lan furrowed her brows. The Inner Supervision in Miaoyan's hands already accounted for one-third of all its personnel. What could it be that Rong Jing would deploy all of Zhang Fengcai's people without giving any instructions to Miaoyan?
She narrowed her eyes, scanning the crowd at the banquet.
What was amiss?
Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed Gu Lan's mind: "Gu Changting and the Second Young Master Gu haven't returned yet?"
Shiqi shook her head: "Not yet. There might be something happening in the palace..."
The next moment, Gu Lan's expression changed: "Go!"
"Go...?"
Although Shiqi was puzzled, she still let Gu Lan lead her to the Step Lotus Hall in the backyard.
