Chapitre 122: Treason 3

Fangxi Pavilion, the Governor's house, Ningzhuo

The surrounding of the entire compound was covered in snow. Unlike the earlier weeks, the snow had gotten heavier. Everyone has switched to full winter gear, Fireplaces were lit in every occupied room in the mansion. Thick fur curtains were hung on the windows and the doors were all shut to keep the cold away.

The health precautions were observed seriously on Fangxi Pavillion, where Su Liya stayed on bed rest. Her maids brought down the bed curtains when the maids delivered her meals to keep her from view. The kitchen had already delivered her lunch, so the bed curtains were raised.

Su Liya sat up on the bed with her back rested on the long wooden frame of the bed, while reading through the secret letter sent by Lu Yaozhu. It was delivered by his shadow guard Yu Ke, minutes earlier. She rolled back the letter and threw it onto the fire at the side of the bed.
