Chapter 242: 242. Rescue

Heavy rain poured down.

Duanmu Chen stood solemnly by the window, allowing the rain to blow in and sweep across his face.

The incident happened suddenly, and although he had some conjectures, they were not yet confirmed. One thing was certain: he could not afford to lose Su Liang, an irreplaceable partner.

The sound of footsteps echoed as Chang'an hurried to the corridor, stomping his feet to shake off the rainwater. He stood at the door and spoke to Duanmu Chen without entering, "Master, the Heavenly Prison is heavily guarded, we cannot enter!"

Duanmu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, "Heavily guarded? Could Father Emperor truly intend to use this opportunity to get rid of Su Liang... No, if that were the case, he could have executed her immediately, rather than sending her to the Heavenly Prison and allowing for unexpected complications."

Chang'an furrowed his brows and dared not speak.
