The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor

his point, the person grew wary and stopped talking.

It was quiet all around as the people stared at one another before deciding to change topics.

“No matter what, Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue will have a stable position in the Imperial City after today… The Chu family has lost their face today.
I don’t think they’ll take it lying down!”

“Hmph, the Chu family has not produced a prodigy like this in years.
Without Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue, their days are going to be tough…”

“The Chu family has occupied a position in the top four families for too long…”

…

Chu Liuyue had just taken a sip of her tea when she heard a commotion outside.
She walked towards the window and looked downstairs.

Their room had the best view on the second floor.
The open windows on one side revealed the restaurant’s lake, while the windows on the other side revealed the street.

Chu Liuyue saw a group of people approaching on horses.

A number of stalls were knocked over on the streets, causing much chaos.
But the owners of the disrupted businesses dared not speak and just hurriedly packed up their items.

Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes before she saw that the group of people was dressed in armor.
It was the imperial guards.

However… what has happened for them to be this anxious? 

At this time, one of the guards broke away from the group and headed towards Phoenix Restaurant.
“Can I ask if Commander in Chief Chu Ning is here?”

Su Hui was downstairs, and he knew that something was off, but he still promptly replied.
“Lord Chu Ning is here indeed.”

“I’m the leader of the seventh bridge, Ji Qingfeng.
I request an audience with Commander in Chief!” The person looked like he was in his late twenties, and anxiety was plastered all over his face.

“Please hold on, Officer Ji, I’ll report right away…”

“Please invite Officer Ji up directly,” said Chu Liuyue.

Ji Qingfeng looked up and saw a slender silhouette by the window on the second floor.
He couldn’t be bothered with anything else and rushed upstairs.

Even though Chu Ning had not met this person, he had a working knowledge of the imperial guards’ situation, so he had heard of Ji Qingfeng.

“Greetings, Commander in Chief!”

Ji Qingfeng had a tense expression.
He was about to bow, but Chu Ning stopped him.

“What happened?” Chu Ning asked with tightly knitted brows.

“Commander, the Fourth Princess went to the hunting ground this morning.
News just came in that she has accidentally fallen off a cliff!”
