Lord Gu kept giving his steward warning glances.

The steward, who was standing behind the crowd, took the hint and promptly left.

Emperor Wu frowned a little and glanced at Qin Yan.

He trusted the man.

The Qin family had two sons, Qin Mo and Qin Yan.

Qin Mo was the head of military intelligence and worked in the shadows.

Qin Yan was Emperor Wu's personal guard and the most senior of the imperial guards.

He nodded at Emperor Wu and quickly left.

Hardly anyone noticed that Qin Yan was gone, so Lord Gu thought that he might still have a chance.

When he arrived at Moon Pavilion, he saw something unexpected.

Qin Yan was holding Steward Gu down with his foot, and oil was splashed everywhere around them.

He stepped hard, and Steward Gu screeched in pain.

Seeing this, Lord Gu was filled with despair.

"What's going on?" Emperor Wu frowned.
