1803 Revenge 1
Sword One hesitated before speaking to Gu Chaoyan, addressing her as Elder Miss, in accordance with their low-profile identities outside the palace.
“Elder Miss, it is Duke North. Something has happened,” Sword One said, his voice filled with concern.
Gu Chaoyan’s mind immediately recalled Duke North’s pale face and the somber atmosphere that enveloped Duke North Mansion the last time she visited. It marked the end of their friendship.
...
As they were en route to Snow Territory, news about Duke North reached Gu Chaoyan, prompting a heavy sigh to escape her lips. She had hoped that Duke North would find success in his position and lead a peaceful life, especially considering the hardships he and his mother had endured.
Lost in her thoughts, Gu Chaoyan was abruptly interrupted by Sword One’s additional information. “The Department of Soldiers discovered Duke North’s lifeless body in the hostel, within the yard where people from Piaomiao Pavilion resided.”
“….”
“The body was left untouched in the yard, showing no signs of a struggle. Duke North’s internal organs were brutally crushed, and there were no other injuries on his body. It appears he was slain with a single lethal strike, likely executed by individuals associated with Piaomiao Pavilion.”
“….”
“Elder Miss, Mr. Head, what should we do about this?” Sword One asked urgently, seeking guidance. “Why would Piaomiao Pavilion target Duke North?”
As Gu Chaoyan pondered Duke North’s fate, memories of their initial encounter flooded her mind. He was just a simple Mr. Duke back then, nearly meeting his end if not for her intervention.
She also reminisced about the time spent with Zheng Chenyi, when he exuded warmth and joy despite her reservations about his mother. They had shared pleasant moments together, and she had hoped to help him overcome his inner darkness.
However, everything changed after his return from the border battle. Zheng Chenyi’s demeanor had taken a somber turn, and Gu Chaoyan had been determined to assist him in finding solace. Yet, now news of his demise arrived all too soon.
“He’s gone?” Gu Chaoyan’s voice carried a cold, resolute tone as she commanded the wagon to halt.
Swiftly, Gu Chaoyan disembarked and mounted her horse, galloping off in a different direction. Zhou Huaijin and their companions followed closely, sensing her intent.
Gu Chaoyan was a woman who cherished her friendships, and it was clear that she intended to seek vengeance against Piaomiao Pavilion.
Sword One and Fu Bao maintained close pursuit, understanding the gravity of the situation.
Meanwhile, the people from Snow Territory remained oblivious to the events that had unfolded, but Ouyang Mingjing took charge, ensuring they came to a stop. However, a commotion erupted around Ouyang Mingjing, plunging the surroundings into chaos.
