章節 279: The Truth (V)

That night, the officials and citizens of Xin Li were advised to close all their doors and windows. Therefore, the streets of Xin Li were deserted for the first time. Only soldiers were seen patrolling around the city.

After what had happened, no one dared to go out or hold any festive events that night.

But under the night sky and among the shadows, a figure in red was running with the wind. The person's movement was so elegant that it almost looked like they were dancing in the air.

Hui Lan glanced at the soldiers that were patrolling below her before gathering her speed and dashing past them.

"How's the air above, Xiao Mao?"

"It's never been better!"

"I wish I could breathe some of that fresh air, sigh."

Hui Lan wasn't able to leave the palace easily like in the past. This time, she had to work around leaving Xiao Ming behind and could only leave when he went to bed.

As a result, she was late for the meeting!
