Ling Wu looked down at the tea cup she was holding in her hand. The water ripples in the cup were the same as what she felt in her heart.
After pausing for a while, and waiting for the excitement in his heart to calm down, he put the tea cup in his hand on the table, looked up at the guard standing aside with his head bowed, and said coldly: "Please tell me what you just said,
say it again"
"yes!"
The guard's posture did not change, and after he responded in a deep voice, he said it again exactly as he said: "I followed the instructions of the emperor and the empress, but when I got to the alley, it had been burned to the ground.
After looking through the ruins, the people living in the alleys, except for a few people who were outside at the time and did not go home, were not spared."
Ling Wu took a deep breath. When she heard this again, the suppressed anger in her heart rose again.
Thinking of the child being held by her mother, Ling Wu stood up suddenly and asked coldly: "What about the few people who survived? Did you see anything?"
"My subordinates have already investigated them all. When they returned to the alley, they were already in a sea of fire."
The guard considered his answer and added: "My subordinates have brought them all over and are waiting outside the palace gate. If the empress wants to ask in person, I will bring them over immediately."
"No"
Lingwu waved her hand: "You go down too."
Watching the guards exit, Ling Wu's eyes gradually turned cold.
She knew very well that if those people really saw something, they would be dead by now.
She really couldn't figure out why Xu Yue had clearly promised her to let go of the residents who didn't understand the situation at that time, but why it was still like this later.
Ling Wu raised her eyes and looked at the sky outside, then walked directly outside.
At this time, although Nangongxuan had already left the capital of Dongling Kingdom, he was riding a carriage. If he chased them quickly, he should still be able to catch up with them within two days.
Ling Wu felt that she must find out the reason. From the moment she heard the news, in addition to anger, she also had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. It was an intuition that had saved her countless times.
