Pei Yunmeng hadn't returned to the Palace Marshal's Mansion for several days, and with Xiao Zhufeng's reticent and taciturn nature, the Mansion seemed much duller than usual.
Hearing a noise, the person by the window turned around.
The young man's crimson brocade robe looked enticingly bright under the lamp light, but his expression was a stark cold indifference unlike his usual demeanor.
He paid no attention to Duan Xiaoyan, and just as Duan Xiaoyan was about to speak again, he heard the person in front of him say, "Chi Jian."
Chi Jian appeared at the door: "My lord."
After a moment of silence, Pei Yunmeng spoke, "Why didn't you tell me that Lu Tong was locked up in the Shennong Shrine?"
Duan Xiaoyan was startled and began to feel nervous.
This was the commencement of an inquisition!
