Chapter 160: You Will See the Emperor Tomorrow

After Gao Wenyan went downstairs, she did not see Gao Wenting. She circled around and finally spotted him in a corner.

He seemed to have just finished talking to someone and was now kicking pebbles alone.

She looked closely, and although the figure had walked some distance away, Gao Wenyan immediately recognized it as Zhu Yiqin.

Zhu Yiqin should have no connection with her second brother. Why did it feel like they were somewhat familiar?

It seemed that quite a lot had happened over the past month.

"Second Brother."

Gao Wenting turned around, sniffed, and said, "Let's go."

The siblings walked one behind the other, both in low spirits, so neither initiated any conversation.

Finally reaching home, Gao Wenyan was about to slip back to her courtyard when Gao Wenting called out to her.

"You will see the Emperor tomorrow."

He really knew how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

Gao Wenyan leaned against the door, listlessly, and said, "Yes, what instructions do you have?"

Unexpectedly, Gao Wenting suddenly put on a stern face and asked, "Do you know what he is planning?"

Given General Gao's character, he would certainly handle things himself without telling his children about them.

So Gao Wenting's straightforward approach left her slightly taken aback.

But then again, if Gao Wenting had become acquainted with Zhu Yiqin, everything could be explained.

"I know."

Gao Wenting's face showed a hint of anger as he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her along.

"You really!"

Knowing this, yet still daring to come back!

No wonder General Gao's face was livid this afternoon; there was a reason for it!

"Since you're back, are you going to run away again?"

Gao Wenyan held him back, refusing to move another step, her eyes stubbornly locked on him, confronting him.

His mind was in turmoil as he whispered, "Does the person from the government residence know your plan?"

Sure enough, Gao Wenyan's eyes flickered with pain, quickly turning away.

But Gao Wenting heard her softly say, "He knows."

This answer chilled Gao Wenting's heart even more, indicating that even Chu Xu was powerless.

He began pacing restlessly.

On the way back, Gao Wenting had planned to discuss matters directly with General Gao once he got home, but he couldn't help asking Gao Wenyan and discovered that only he was in the dark.

"By the way, where is Eldest Brother?"

Not seeing Gao Wenxi upon returning, Gao Wenyan assumed he was busy, but tonight, she still hadn't seen Gao Wenxi come looking for him.

"Eldest Brother has left the city."

"Left the city?"

Wasn't their family under house arrest in the Capital? How did Gao Wenxi leave the city?

But Gao Wenting's mind was elsewhere, giving vague answers, saying he had gone to quell unrest.

"The border?"

"Of course not."

Gao Wenting glanced at her strangely and said, "Just a nearby small town."

Then he added irritably, "Focus on your own situation first."

At this critical moment, she still had time to think about Gao Wenxi.

Gao Wenyan suddenly found a chair and sat down, carefully analyzing the current situation.

Why wasn't Gao Wenxi in the Capital?

If so, why didn't Zhu Yiqin tell her?

Was it because she didn't tell her, or didn't know?

She stopped Gao Wenting, who was still pacing.

"When did Eldest Brother leave? Why didn't I know?"

Gao Wenting plopped down opposite her and said, "It's been two days. Of course, you wouldn't know."

Because Gao Wenxi's departure was a secret order, only the Gao family knew he was not in the Capital.

Unexpectedly, Gao Wenyan suddenly started laughing, which startled Gao Wenting.

Could his sister have gone mad?

One could still laugh in such a situation.
