Chapter 127: Not Getting Involved
Guan Tianqian lowered his head, and the entire carriage fell silent.
Cang Yinyue's eyes flickered as she looked toward Li Musheng. In truth, from the moment she had heard the news of Imperial Consort Ji's death, she had vaguely suspected that Li Musheng had something to do with it.
But since Li Musheng had not brought it up himself, she had simply attended to her own duties and asked nothing further.
What Cang Yinyue understood clearly, however, was that this matter absolutely could not be allowed to leak out by even a fraction. The consequences would be catastrophic.
But that being the case, what to do with Guan Tianqian standing before them became a thorny problem.
In Cang Yinyue's eyes, Guan Tianqian was not a bad person. He solved cases with uncanny skill and had apprehended countless criminals and outlaws over the years. His reputation was formidable both within Six Doors and throughout the martial world, to the point that many petty villains would tremble with fear at the mere mention of the Iron-Blooded Divine Constable's name.
But unfortunately, he now knew Li Musheng's secret, and under no circumstances could he be allowed to spread the matter.
While Cang Yinyue did not consider herself a cold-hearted and ruthless woman, for Li Musheng's sake she felt that the approach which satisfied both concerns was to plant a Life and Death Talisman within Guan Tianqian's body.
That way, his life could be spared for the time being, while also preventing him from leaking the matter to others.
