Chapter 660: Chapter 660: She Drowned!

Wu He’er was trembling all over, his entire body prostrating on the ground, submitting before Mu Yan, “Your Majesty, I don’t know, I only know that a man named Liu Yishou said he personally met the Empress of Dayu and even told me about roughly when she would appear outside Lizhou City!”

Qin Mu’s expression suddenly changed, Liu Yishou!

It was that doctor introduced by Zhao Yan, he’s a bad person!

He also thought of the incident when Zhan Lan was attacked, Zhao Yan must have told Liu Yishou the timing of Zhan Lan’s departure!

Thinking of this, Qin Mu clenched his fists. To prevent others from discovering Zhan Lan’s identity, his mother even fabricated the name An Shu.

He didn’t expect this woman to ruin everything!

Fury and regret made the veins on Qin Mu’s forehead pop out!

A murderous look flashed in the eyes of the other four men of the Qin Family.

Qin Xiangming was also suddenly shocked, so it was that Liu Yishou who had looked after him, he had heard his wife mention.

Zhan Lan disappeared in their house, and it was because of a doctor who had visited their house!

But how did Liu Yishou know the time of Zhan Lan’s departure!

Mu Yan asked, “Yesterday, was there a convoy that passed through your area heading to Beiyue!”

Wu He’er’s muscles were all trembling, he truly didn’t know, last night he came back injured and fell asleep hugging a woman, completely unaware of these things.

“This, I don’t know, I don’t know!”

As he was speaking, a sword suddenly pierced through his chest.

Mu Yan expressionlessly drew the blood-stained sword, Wu He’er’s pupils contracted sharply as he fell to the ground dead.

The women who had been abducted clung to each other and cried, they could finally go home!

Mu Yan stood at the highest point, looking towards the direction of Beiyue.

Was it Xiao Luobai who did it?

His hand gripped the sword tighter, well he didn’t mind charging into Beiyue and taking his head!

Mu Yan led the troops to swiftly seize Nie City in Beiyue, capturing the Commander of the garrison, Fang Jinhuai, alive.

Mu Yan said coldly, “Send an urgent message over 800 miles, to tell your young emperor that if he dares to harm my people, I will first slaughter all the garrison at Nie City, starting with Nie City, then Su State, and finally head straight for the imperial city to take his life!”

Fang Jinhuai immediately dispatched someone to ride swiftly over 800 miles to send the message back to the imperial city.

Though he didn’t know what had occurred, he didn’t dare to delay, they had all seen it, the Emperor of Dayu had exterminated the Da Clan!

Something must have happened; that’s why the Emperor of Dayu was so enraged, the wrath of an emperor, corpses scattered for miles.

Hopefully, their emperor of Beiyue will come quickly to save them!

Otherwise, none of them would hope to live!

…

Qin Xiangming, Qin Yan, Qin Jingshuo, Qin Yizhuo followed Mu Yan to Beiyue.

Qin Mu had to guard Xiaoshan City for his father, so he returned home.

He found that Zhao Shi was not at home and immediately went out to search.

Zhao Yan had barely won some silver from Liu Yishou, taking advantage of only her mother-in-law and sister-in-law being at home, she went out to play mahjong again.

But her luck was terrible today, and she quickly lost all her money.

Just as she was dejectedly about to leave, she suddenly saw her husband staring at her intently.

She hurriedly came out, smiling and saying, “What brings you…”

She hadn’t finished speaking when a loud slap struck her face.

Zhao Yan was stunned, Qin Mu actually hit her!

Who gave him the courage, Qin Mu actually dared to hit her!

“Are you crazy, you dare hit me!” Zhao Yan screamed like a shrew, clawing and hitting Qin Mu.

“Did you tell Liu Yishou that Lan’er was leaving yesterday morning?” Qin Mu asked, his eyes blood-red.

Now Lan’er’s life was uncertain, if it was due to Zhao Yan that Lan’er fell into a pre-designed trap, he would blame himself for life!

“So what if I did, what’s the big deal, is it worth hitting me? Nothing happened to her…”

“Shut up!” Qin Mu pushed her hard to the ground.

Zhao Yan fell hard on her rear end, she got up and shouted, “You dare hit me, I’ll go back to my family, I want to divorce you!”

Qin Mu was completely disappointed in Zhao Yan, he clenched his teeth and said harshly, “Even if you don’t say it, I want a divorce!”

“Qin Mu, you’ll regret this!” Zhao Yan cried angrily, holding her face as she ran away.

Qin Mu was fuming and didn’t pay her any attention, turning around to return to his house.

Zhao Yan, furious, walked by the river, frequently looking back. She thought no matter what, Qin Mu had hit her, he should come to beg her to return.

If Qin Mu came, she would threaten to die, let’s see what he would do!

But she waited for a long time and didn’t see a single person.

Furious, she kicked stones by the river with her shoe. In the sunset, she suddenly spotted something shiny by the river.

Approaching closer, she found it was a gold bracelet!

It seemed someone had dropped it by the river.

Her eyes gleamed as she looked around, seeing no one, she smugly said, “Lost a sesame, gained a watermelon, Heaven’s been kind to me!”

Zhao Yan excitedly went to pick up the gold bracelet, but just as she got hold of it and joyfully stood up, her foot suddenly slipped, causing her whole body to slide into the river.

The icy river water sobered her up instantly, after swallowing a mouthful of water, she shouted for help, but no one came to her aid.

“Help! Help…” she struggled desperately in the water, her whole body growing weaker…..

At midnight, someone urgently knocked on the Qin Family’s door, Qin Mu thought Zhao Yan had returned, so he put on his clothes and went to open the door, but in the candlelight, he froze at the sight before him.

He saw a neighbor carrying a lantern, upon which lay a woman with disheveled hair.

Looking closely, Zhao Yan was pale as death, soaked all over, tightly clutching a gold bracelet in her hand, she had drowned.

…

In the Beiyue palace, on a golden bed, lay a woman in a red dress, her face veiled as she lay quietly.

Xiao Luobai, also clad in red, with a deep gaze and trembling fingers, lifted the veil off the woman’s face.
