Chapter 1438

Chen Ning had a photographic memory, but she only remembered that this attendant had always been by the Northern Qi envoy's side. She had seen him at the guest house, but she didn't have much of an impression of this small and thin attendant who never spoke.

The only thing she remembered was that when she found the missing five repeating crossbow blueprints, everyone present had a look of shock on their faces.

That attendant had also raised his head and glanced at him.

She remembered now!

He wasn't very old, only about fifteen or sixteen years old. He had a very delicate face and a pair of large black and white eyes. He had only glanced at her once before quickly lowering his head.

At the time, she hadn't looked at this little attendant again. If she hadn't seen him turn his head three times, she wouldn't have thought of this person at all.

"It's just a attendant, yet you're still so concerned about him. I've already seen that the people that the Northern Qi envoy brought this time don't have any martial arts experts. In terms of martial arts, none of them are even half as good as Zhui Feng. Don't worry, he definitely isn't an assassin sent by Zixiao Pavilion."

Mo Chuan saw that her eyes were still looking to the north with a thoughtful expression, so he spoke to dispel the doubts in her heart.

Chen Ning gave a faint smile. What Mo Chuan cared about was different from what she cared about. He only cared about the other's martial arts, but what she was thinking about was completely different.

She didn't suspect that the attendant was an assassin in disguise, otherwise he wouldn't have escaped Mo Chuan's eyes.

However, no matter what the attendant's identity was, whether it was a real attendant or a fake one, he had already left with the Northern Qi envoy. Thinking about this right now was a bit groundless.

"I know, let's go back to the palace."

She and Mo Chuan walked down the tower side by side and boarded the sedan back to the palace.

The sedan that the two of them were in had just arrived in front of the palace when they suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from the palace gates.

Chen Ning lifted the curtain of the sedan and looked in the direction of the sound.

She saw a group of imperial guards riding horses, quickly rushing out of the palace. Everyone had a panicked expression on their faces, as if something big had happened.

The commander of the imperial guards in front saw Mo Chuan and Chen Ning's sedan and immediately fell off his horse, kneeling on the ground.

"Reporting to the emperor, something bad has happened!"

Mo Chuan was shocked and said in a deep voice, "What happened? Is the Empress Dowager well? "

His first thought was that something had happened to Empress Dowager. What he was worried about the most was that the Purple Heaven Pavilion assassins had taken advantage of this and injured Empress Dowager.

The commander of the imperial guards was stunned and immediately replied, "The Empress Dowager is well, yes, yes … …"

His face was filled with panic as he looked up at Mo Chuan, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Mo Chuan knit his brows and shouted, "Quickly speak, what happened!"

The royal army commander lowered his head and replied, "Emperor, King Ding Yuan has escaped from prison!"

"What?" Mo Chuan and Chen Ning were both shocked, almost not daring to believe their ears.

"You're saying Chu Shao Yang escaped from prison? When did this happen? "Mo Chuan calmed himself down and asked.
