The instant she heard that Zhao Huan had come.
A dark cloud seemed to materialize over Gu Xiangzhu's heart. The malice in her eyes flared for an instant before vanishing.
Finally!
'So he came after all.'
However, her smile remained composed. "Ci, out of the carriage."
She knew the purpose of Zhao Huan's visit.
But she wasn't panicked.
Because Zhao Huan had never been involved in the operations of the Xingyu Pill Association, not from the very beginning.
No matter how much he coveted the technique, he couldn't just take it.
Zhao Ci breathed a sigh of relief. "Perfect," he said, overjoyed. "Father is here! I'll go explain everything to him now!"
Gu Xiangzhu smiled faintly. "Let's get out."
With that, she pushed Zhao Ci out of the carriage.
She followed him down as well.
"I greet Your Majesty!"
The smile on Gu Xiangzhu's face was gentle and serene, but her eyes were cold, tinged with a faint mockery.
Zhao Huan had had no part in this technique, from start to finish.
