Seeing her unharmed with his own eyes, Li Yun breathed a quiet sigh of relief. All the fury that had been building on his way here vanished the moment he saw Ming Lingyi was safe.
The moment Qin Wenwu saw Li Yun, he was first struck by disbelief. Then, a single thought consumed him.
'It's over.'
He hadn't even begun to set his plan in motion, yet here was Li Yun.
'Shouldn't he be in the Imperial Palace? Why is he here?'
Subconsciously, Qin Wenwu couldn't help but glance toward Ming Lingyi.
With a woman who bore such a striking resemblance to the late Empress present, and now Li Yun's sudden appearance, it was hard for him not to connect the two.
"Qin Wenwu, We are asking you a question." By now, Li Yun had walked to Ming Lingyi's side. Liu Ye, following close behind, perceptively brought over two stools.
Li Yun gestured for Ming Lingyi to sit.
Ming Lingyi said nothing.
