Chen Mo turned his head to look at the corpse on the Dragon Bed, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth, and said, "Since Wu Lie is not in the palace, whether he lives or dies is out of his hands now..."
...
...
Bang bang bang—
The sound of knocking on the door grew more intense.
Seeing no response for a long time, Gao Yuheng simply drew his weapon, preparing to break the door open with his men.
But at that moment, a deep voice echoed from within the great hall, "What is the commotion about, disturbing my rest?"
?!
Hearing this voice, Gao Yuheng was momentarily stunned, then furrowed his brow tightly, bowing his hand and saying: "This humble officer is ordered to guard the palace. The abrupt earthquake has thrown the Forbidden Palace into chaos; this humble officer is deeply concerned for His Majesty's safety and has come to check on the situation!"
"Cough cough..." A fit of coughing sounded, "I am fine, you all may leave."
