Chapter 228 Tracking

The palace is a place without secrets. The news that the Empress Dowager wanted to make Su Wan the Empress spread out.

The court was shocked.

Rumors had spread in the palace a few days ago.

Su Wan was the Empress's heir in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

They guessed that there might be turmoil in the crown prince of Xiliang, but they didn't expect it to be a big earthquake!

They were all panicked, and some couldn't help but go to find Fan Guozhang and Fan Guojiu.

Both of them were old foxes, playing Tai Chi with a smile, and just said: "We support all the decisions of the Empress."

Everyone was very depressed. Could it be that the princess with the blood of the Great Zhou Dynasty in her body would inherit Xiliang?

"Why not?" The father-in-law looked at them with a look that said you are all old and pedantic: "Have you forgotten that the Empress also has half the blood of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

This successfully shut them up.

Some people in the capital agreed, while others opposed.

In the teahouse, the storyteller made up a story and mentioned this matter.

Jiuyu and Jiuge sat in the teahouse, and the brother and sister disguised themselves. Hearing the storyteller's ups and downs, they couldn't help but look at each other, and all of them saw surprise in their eyes.

"Brother, is Sister Wanwan really going to be the empress?" Jiuge pouted and said sullenly: "Will I never see her again?"

When my mother committed a crime, the people in the palace were beheaded or burned to death. No one survived, only the two brothers and sisters escaped.

I don't know what the attitude of the Empress Dowager is towards them, and whether she still wants their lives.

Maybe she won't kill them for the sake of blood, but will exile them to the fiefdom, or imprison them in disguise.

"Brother, do we really have to enter the palace?" Jiuge hesitated in his heart and didn't want to take the risk: "Can we just find a place to live and start a new life? When the Empress Dowager dies, if Wanwan is the empress, she will give us a normal life."

Jiuyu remained silent. This time when he returned to Xiliang, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if something big had happened.

Su Wan saved Jiuge's life, and Jiuyu wanted to return the favor.

Although her mother was dead, she still had her subordinates. She had asked them to avenge her.

Jiuyu touched his twitching eyelids, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger.

Looking up at the rare sunny day, there was always a kind of tranquility before the storm.

Suddenly, Jiuyu's eyes sank, and he stood up abruptly, saying, "Wait for me here!"

He rushed out quickly, chasing a man in black, passing through the crowded streets, the narrow, dark and damp alleys, and came to a house. It was probably very old, and the damp walls were covered with a thick layer of moss. The black painted door was mottled, and there was a hint of decay.

Jiuyu looked up and observed, and suddenly saw a towering tree stretching out from the house next door.

With a thought, he climbed up the wall lightly and hid in the tree with lush branches and leaves. If he didn't stand under the tree, he wouldn't have found a person hiding in the tree at all.

Jiuyu climbed very high and had a wide field of vision. He saw only a few people walking around in the house, and did not see the figure of the man in black that he was following. He pursed his lips tightly, because this man was the leader of the death squad that surrounded his mother.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden movement. The man in black came out, and there was a man with him, who looked like a steward.

The steward warned: "All the things are buried in the altar. When you hear the signal, start to act."
