They searched the entire capital but could not find anyone. Gu Ruoyun’s investigation had already reached the outskirts of the city.
Another letter was sent to Guang Residence.
The letter said that as long as Guang Pingwang does not deploy his troops in three days, the princess consort would be sent back to Guang Residence.
The moment the letter was sent, Gu Ruoyun had already sent people to track down the person who had sent the letter.
Who would have thought that the person would commit suicide the moment he saw that he had been discovered.
He did not have anything on him that could prove his identity.
Seeing that the letter mentioned that they should not send troops after three days, Gu Ruoyun’s expression was ice-cold as he said a name, “Liu Runyan.”
An Yi quickly nodded and began to investigate.
Su Yan was brought down from the carriage. When they reached the room, the black cloth covering her eyes was removed.
This was an inn, so it should not be the capital of the country. This place looked very strange.
Su Yan did not make any noise. After a few days, she was suddenly blindfolded and brought back to the carriage.
As they rushed forward, Su Yan was knocked down by the fast-shaking carriage.
She could only hear that there seemed to be a lot of people outside the carriage.
On that day, the imperial palace was exceptionally quiet. Nalan Chen looked at the man in white opposite him and asked nervously, “What do you want to do?”
The white-robed man’s eyes were cold and he did not say a word. The swords in his hands were all pointed straight at Nalan Chen.
Nalan Chen looked at the open bedroom but no one came over. He knew that something must have happened to the guards outside.
He could only place his hopes on Gu Ruoyun at this moment.
It was a funny story. The Nalan family had always viewed Gu Ruoyun as a thorn in their side. However, every time they encountered a life-saving situation, it was always him who asked for help.
An old man in white walked out from behind the white-robed man. He looked at Nalan Chen and sneered, “You don’t know us yet, do you? Your father has stolen our master’s throne. Today, you will pay for it.”
After the old man had finished speaking, he glanced around but did not find the person he was looking for. He furrowed his brows and asked, “Where’s the young master?”
The person beside him shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
The old man furrowed his brows in deep thought and said, “This is bad.”
On the other side, Su Yan had been brought back to the capital as they wanted to use her to restrain Gu Ruoyun after they had successfully forced their way into the palace.
A man dressed in black who was riding a horse quickly approached the carriage and evaded everyone to save Su Yan.
This man’s martial arts were extremely high. Even with so many people surrounding him, they could not get close to him. Besides, he was also carrying Su Yan.
The two of them rode on the same horse. The man brought Su Yan back to the vicinity of Guang Residence. When he put her down, the black cloth covering Su Yan’s eyes suddenly fell off.
The man was shocked. He did not expect this situation. He touched the black cloth covering his face and heaved a sigh of relief.
Su Yan felt that the eyes of this man in front of her were very familiar.
Her mouth was gagged and she could not make a sound. She could only watch the man quickly walk away.
As soon as Su Yan approached Guang Residence, she was discovered by the people from the Guang Residence and brought back to the Guang Residence.
Gu Ruoyun looked at Su Yan and quickly took her over to untie her.
Su Yan smiled to show that she was fine. Although she had been tied up for the past few days, those people had not mistreated her.
Gu Ruoyun’s expression did not change. After confirming that Su Yan was indeed fine, he immediately led his people to the imperial palace.
It was not to save Nalan Chen but to take revenge.
In the imperial palace.
When the old man in white realized that the young master was not around, he quickly ordered his men to capture Nalan Chen.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Gu Ruoyun sat on the horse with a sword in his hand and slowly stopped at the entrance of the chamber.
Nalan Chen seemed to have seen hope and cried out for help.
Gu Ruoyun did not even look at him. His eyes were cold as he stared at the man in white in the chamber.
The old man in white tightened his grip on Nalan Chen and shouted, “It’s best that Guang Pingwang does not act rashly. Otherwise, his life cannot be guaranteed.”
Gu Ruoyun shot an arrow at Nalan Chen. Nalan Chen’s eyes widened and he died with his eyes wide open.
The old man in white watched this scene in shock.
Gu Ruoyun replied coldly, “Were you the ones who kidnapped her?”
Threatened by death, the old man in white instantly understood who he was talking about..
