She fixed her gaze—
It was the Huaqing Palace!
That was the palace of Consort Shu!
Why would a concubine’s palace set up a barrier capable of blocking a Saint’s divine perception?
Such a barrier was beyond the abilities of ordinary people and consumed a vast amount of Xuanling Stones.
To do this, they must be involved in something they didn’t want others to know!
Gu Qingluan’s eyes instantly turned cold as she flew toward the Huaqing Palace.
Liu Miaoyue, you’d better pray that Xiaonan and Yuanxi are safe!
Seeing the direction Gu Qingluan left in, Duke Dingbei and Liu Miaowu were both surprised.
“Could she be going to find my younger sister?”
“Hurry and go over to check!”
Duke Dingbei and Liu Miaowu didn’t even have time to bid farewell to the Emperor before they hurriedly followed.
Emperor Xuanzong heard what Liu Miaowu said, and his heart tightened. He instructed the Crown Prince to send people to investigate as well.
Gu Zhicheng’s eyes flickered, and he followed suit.
Gu Qingluan’s sons were in trouble; how could he not go and see what was happening?
That illegitimate child was truly detestable!
If he could die in the palace, it would be good news indeed.
Gu Qingluan quickly arrived at the Huaqing Palace but was blocked by a barrier, so she was unable to enter.
A measly array barrier dared to obstruct her way? Ha!
Gu Qingluan casually waved her hand, and a terrifying arcane power shot out, instantly shattering the barrier.
The head guard at the gate crossed his spears and stood in her way. “How dare you?! Who do you think you are to trespass into Huaqing Palace?”
Gu Qingluan unfolded her divine perception, and the entire palace appeared in her mind.
She didn’t see the Consort Shu, nor did she see Xiaonan and Yuanxi.
“Where is your mistress?” she asked the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper didn’t recognize Gu Qingluan and rebuked her with a cold face, “How dare you inquire about the whereabouts of Consort Shu? Leave immediately!”
Gu Qingluan beckoned, and the guard’s neck fell into her hand.
The guard’s face turned pale as he was choked. Veins popped on his neck as he stammered, “Re-release… Release… you…”
“I’ll ask again, where is Consort Shu?”
“The Consort… the Consort Shu has left the palace.”
Left the palace?
Gu Qingluan scrutinized him. “Where did she go?”
The guard opened his mouth, about to answer when a strange and mocking female voice interrupted.
“Who’s this? Someone with quite the audacity to even lay a hand on Consort Shu’s guard.”
“The humble one pays respects to the Third Princess.”
Another guard immediately knelt and saluted.
Gu Qingluan glanced and saw a young lady dressed in a crimson-purple palace gown embroidered with gold and silver threads walking towards her. Behind her followed a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
Despite the passing years, Gu Qingluan still recognized her.
The Third Princess, Qi Lingyue, was Gu Lingxue’s closest friend!
“Oh, you’re Gu Qingluan? You’re surprisingly still alive? If you had even a shred of shame, after committing such offenses, you should have ended your own life long ago.” The Third Princess displayed her disdain and contempt for Gu Qingluan.
In this critical moment, Gu Qingluan couldn’t afford to waste any more time here. She turned away and pressed on with her questioning of the guard.
The Third Princess, being ignored, flashed anger in her eyes and sternly reprimanded the guard, “You’re not allowed to tell her anything! The mistress’s whereabouts are not for you to divulge! Do you want to die?”
The guard, hearing this, didn’t dare to disclose anything. He gritted his teeth, looking like he would rather die than yield.
Gu Qingluan shook off the guard, then suddenly appeared in front of the Third Princess.
Despite the Third Princess having decent cultivation, in front of Gu Qingluan, she was like a child who hadn’t reacted. Gu Qingluan had already lifted her off the ground.
“Ah! Gu Qingluan, what are you doing? Put this princess down immediately! Do you hear me?”
The Third Princess screamed.
“Third Princess!”
“Release the Third Princess!”
Seeing this, the palace attendants were shocked and rushed forward, trying to save her.
Gu Qingluan, holding the Third Princess, flew to the rooftop and pinched the Third Princess’s neck, saying, “Hold it right there. If anyone dares to come closer, I’ll break her neck..”
