Then, the dark shadows on the roof, walls, and treetops quietly hid in the darkness.
Si Hai glanced at Chu Yi's gaze and raised his hand to gesture for him to retreat.
In the next moment, the surrounding royal guards retreated like a tide, without hesitation.
The torches retreated with them, and the surroundings darkened again.
On a night without the wind and snow, the stars and moon in the sky appeared hazily between the dark clouds. It was quiet and peaceful.
The courtyard instantly became empty again, leaving only muddy footprints on the snow.
Chu Yi smiled warmly at Gu Yanfei and raised his eyebrows slightly. There was a smile at the corners of his eyes and a gentle expression.
Gu Yanfei's eyes darted around. She held her snow-white cheek with her right hand and exchanged a look with him.
"Better late than never. I'm thinking of helping Young Master Xia Hou seize the State of Yue's power."
