Chương 610: She is no more

Jian Guozhi left Xue Yu-Yan's chamber in the early morning. He got ready as he had to leave today but before that, he completed his remaining work. He came to the Northern Palace and saw Sheng Li with Ying Lili in the Royal Garden. He stopped midway as intervening in them was not a great idea to him. Also, conversing with Sheng Li about Xue might anger Sheng Li, he thought.

"Let's go back. We need to go to the temple too," Sheng Li told Ying Lili.

"Sure," they both turned when Sheng Li saw Jian Guozhi at the Northern pavilion.

"Court Lady Xu, escort the Empress safely to the chamber," Sheng Li commanded her.

"Where are you going?" Ying Lili asked him.

"I remembered something important. I will soon be back," answered Sheng Li. Ying Lili nodded her head and left with Court Lady Xu. Sheng Li, oppositely, went to the Northern Pavilion.
