章 296: Concomitant Life and Death

Creaak.

The door slowly opened.

It was dark in the quiet study room, and the candles in the room had long since been burnt to ashes.

If not for the bright moonlight shining through the thin layer of clouds and shining through the window, causing the stable figure on the chair to be clearly visible, Soong Yiqing would have thought that there was no one here.

"Ayuan." He held onto the door frame with one hand and tried to speak, "Gaochang Marquis has already been away for so long, do you plan to sit here forever?"

He, who was guarding the door, watched as the Gaochang Marquis went in for two hours and finally came out. He originally thought he could quickly wait for Feng Linyuan's summons.

Unexpectedly, he, Mo Lee and the rest waited outside the door for an entire hour, watching as the candles in the study burned to nothing and there was not even a single speck of light left in the room, yet they still didn't hear a single sound.
