Su Yingxue stepped back to Chu Yihan's side and smiled. "Lord Liang is indeed sensible."
Chu Yihan nodded. "You don't have to be afraid."
He held Su Yingxue's hand, never releasing it. The warmth of his palm continued to flow into hers.
Lan Ling's face remained cold. "Lord Liang's decision is unrelated to me. I am only responsible for carrying out the emperor's orders."
The emperor's command was to kill Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan!
Tens of thousands of Imperial Guards had been mobilized today. The emperor demanded the lives of Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan!
However, Lan Ling's gaze fell on the clasped hands of Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan, a trace of sadness crossing his eyes.
"Chief Imperial Guard, even if it's the emperor's order, one can still seek instructions. If Su Yingxue can save Marquis Su's life, I can take his statement and investigate the case. What the emperor desires is a clear and prosperous era, not a bloodbath!"
