In the back courtyard of the medical hall, Song Lianhe and Zhou Cangyan sat facing each other at a stone table.
On the table was the pair of snake-shaped gold wrist bracelets from Mrs. E.
At this moment, the bracelets were unclasped, clearly revealing the dense, script-like characters engraved on the inside.
"This is the script of the Huigu Tribe," Zhou Cangyan said.
Mrs. E was originally the daughter of the Huigu Tribe's chief. She gave up her future position as chief because she chose to marry Governor E.
Song Lianhe looked up at him, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Biwu, I have a bold theory."
Zhou Cangyan looked at her, the corners of his lips curling up slightly. "Then let's wait and see how your theory pans out."
A short while later, the back door opened.
"My Lord, it's the City Lord."
"Show him in."
Soon, Duan Shanmian walked in at an unhurried pace.
His coughing could be heard before he even stepped through the door.
"COUGH, COUGH—"
