Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife Chapter 282 Do Something

It is very easy for Gao Qi to see the envoy that is escorting Gao Lan Mei and his wife to the palace because of the royal guards surrounding them.

"Brother there they are!" Gao Shen exclaimed, running towards the position of the royal guards that are already in front of the palace gates.

His eyes bulged after seeing familiar faces, especially at Gao Lan Mei who does not have any scar on her face.

"Halt! No one is allowed to come close!" One of the royal guards exclaimed, after seeing Gao Shen who wants to get closer them, blocking the path.

With a growl, "Get out of my way!" Gao Shen exclaimed as he tried to supress his annoyance for not being able to even speak to anyone.

Xiu Shan narrowed his eyes at Gao Shen, "We are only tasked to bring Miss Gao along. The rest needs to get permission and not allowed to follow." he stated, before looking at Gao Lan Mei with indifference, "Come with me. Alone."

Despite the others protest, Gao Lan Mei just smiled and complied to what was advised. She even left Kai Kai and her raven behind which was requested, more like commanded by Xiu Shan.

So the rest, even Gao Qi and Li Mao can only glare when the guards escorted Gao Lan Mei inside the palace ground.

"Brother Qi, what is going on?! Do something!" Li Mao shouted to her husband in a frustration, if not for Gao Qi's position she probably already hurt the royal guard.

"Why are we not allowed to go inside?" Li Mao questioned in frustration as she glared at the royal guards stationed outside the enormous palace gate.

Gao Qi also does not understand why Gao Lan Mei was summoned alone. He never expected in the first place that the palace will arrange everything so soon.

"I also do not know what is going on." That is the truth as the emperor did not tell him anything regarding the matter before he left the palace last night.

"Where is Prince Wei?" Gao Qi then asked Lou Ren.

Lou Ren answered indifferently, "My master is not in the Mortal Domain right now." then he asked in confusion. "Why are you all anxious anyway?"

He already noticed the peculiarity of the summon, however, Lou Ren's confidence to Gao Lan Mei is enough for him to not take action. The sad part though, whatever is going to happen inside the palace may not be something he can personally see.

Gao Qi explained what transpired a day before. From the time the Ye master requested an audience with the emperor with the first prince, as well as the time Concubine Li's outrageous claims.

"To add to all that, they only have claims and there is no evidence." Gao Shen unable to hold back as he uttered disdainfully not caring whoever hears.

Gao Qi badly wants to know what is going on, but he knows that the emperor will not face him unless he forces it.

Pulling out a golden pa.s.s that he can only use once, "We are requesting an audience with Emperor Chen." Gao Qi voiced out with authority to the royal guards.

Gao Lan Mei followed Xiu Shan closely behind, her wrists are cuffed with a long chain that is connected to both ends. The handcuff was placed immediately after the palace gates were closed behind her earlier.

'Low quality.' Gao Lan Mei thought to herself after inspecting the handcuff. It seems they are made for a mortal that does not have any spiritual energy as she does not feel anything different after wearing it.

Since it's not a big deal, Gao Lan Mei did not question. That is also the case when one of the guards tried to remove her storage ring but it was impossible to even for her to do so.

She already learned from last night that she cannot remove the ring but it is still funny to watch the guards try.
