"Eh?"
The Emperor, the Regent Leader and Yao Dengxian all looked surprised by Chu Liang's answer.
The Emperor had asked only as a matter of course; he had not anticipated that Chu Liang would actually know the answer.
The Regent Leader asked, "How did you know?"
"Merely a small guess," Chu Liang said, grinning awkwardly.
His supposition came from a sudden recall of the incident that had occurred in the Imperial Concubine Garden while he was making his escape. The guards had failed to pursue him, which could only have been a result of the concubine's assistance.
At that time, Chu Liang had not revealed his handsome and confident form, but was simply an unfamiliar figure in black robes. So why would the concubine risk herself to conceal such a character?
It must be that she was aware of the whole deal, or even more shockingly, the driving force behind it all.
