Bai Qingqing answered expressionlessly, "Most of the Shadow Guards in the North Country have been dealt with. I suspect His Majesty has sent people to the North Country to eliminate traitors."
The Shadow Guards are the Sum Emperor's most important force; he definitely could not tolerate any treason within their ranks. Although it was Bai Qingqing who was betrayed, and not related to those guards responsible for relaying messages, those guards were in the North Country as well. The Sum Emperor could no longer trust them.
Upon hearing Bai Qingqing's words, Lu Chen was slightly startled.
He slowly walked over to Bai Qingqing's side and embraced her delicate body, "Do you mean someone will make a move against you soon?"
Bai Qingqing lightly hummed in affirmation, not adding anything more.
