"Tell me, what happened?" The Emperor asked Chu Mo, Xu Zhongliang, and Fang Mingtong. They were in a quiet and elegant palace. As soon as they entered, the Emperor looked at Chu Mo and mildly asked.
Chu Mo said, "In the evening, a guard wearing the court's waist tag arrived at my residence in a horse carriage. I thought it was you, Your Majesty, or Marshal Fang or Minister Xu who had sent for me, so I had no suspicions and boarded the carriage."
"We did indeed send a carriage for you." The Emperor raised his eyebrows, looking at Chu Mo, "However, it seems we were late."
"The carriage had no windows, which I did not find suspicious, as most court carriages do not have windows!" Chu Mo said.
Fang Mingtong added from the sidelines, "To guard against hidden attacks."
Chu Mo nodded, "As it turned out, we hadn't gone far before I felt something was off because the direction the carriage was turning was clearly not towards the palace!"
