"Of course, my plan is only halfway done. I have to go back and finish this." The Wu Mansion's father and son were bullying the weak and had a strong desire to collude with the government. Such an unpardonable person could be killed by anyone. Now, this fox spirit would be allowed to meddle in their affairs.
Actually, she could use the most direct method to deal with them, but after thinking about it, this way of playing was more interesting.
"You must be careful, Empress." Xiao Lin couldn't help but exclaim, "Both of them are weak in the Wu Residence, how can the emperor be so at ease and agree to allow the Empress to take such risks?"
"I know. Serve the Emperor well for me. Tell him that as soon as the matter of the Wu Residence is over, I will return so that he won't have to worry about me." It was a very strange thing. In her heart, she actually didn't think about Nangong Yu that much. What had happened to her? Could it be that he didn't even have any feelings of longing? Weird, is it because my mind is already filled with thoughts of how to deal with the Wu family's father and son, so I don't have the spare time to think about her man?
"Mmm, Little Lin will listen to me." After a very obedient nod, Shangguan Wan left in relief.
Seeing that the Empress had left, the frightened Little Forest regained his breath. Luckily, nothing was exposed just now. Your majesty, where have you been? If you don't come back soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it.
As for Nangong Yu who was thousands of miles away, he was riding a horse. He took out an ancient book from his bosom and carefully flipped through it.
If the book was correct, Qing Qiu shouldn't be far from here.
There were very few people here, and he had not eaten anything for a day. If he did not eat anything, he would not even have the strength to move on.
Of course, he, who was born to enjoy luxury, had never suffered like this before. All he had done now was for his wife.
There was a stream ahead, and it seemed that the food had been prepared.
It had to be said that the Emperor wasn't unable to live after leaving the service of others. He had the ability to survive after all.
The emperor went into the water to fish, then built a rack and roasted fish to eat.
This fragrance was extremely alluring. The sound of footsteps came from behind him.
The footsteps were very light, not intentional. Perhaps it was because he hadn't eaten for a long time, so he didn't even have the strength to walk.
Nangong Yu turned his head to look and saw a fifteen-year-old little girl. Her entire body was dirty, and her eyes were filled with a thirst for grilled fish.
"I …" The little girl was a bit scared, but she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. After all, she wasn't sure she would get it if she begged from a stranger.
Since he was the Son of Heaven, all the people in the world were his descendants, and this little girl was no exception.
So, out of compassion, he shared it with her.
The little girl ate the fish and drank the sweet stream water, then she recovered her strength.
"I did." This young lady had also washed her face clean, so she turned her head to smile at Nangong Yu.
After all, he was still young, and his face still brimmed with the aura of youth.
Since Nangong Yu still had to hurry on his way, he didn't want to stay any longer. He picked up his horse and said, "See you later."
When she saw him get on the horse, she hurried to catch up with him, "Where are you going? "I want to go to Qing Qiu."
Nangong Yu was startled and looked back at her, "Why are you going to Qing Qiu?"
Was this a coincidence? They actually wanted to go to the same place. The normally suspicious Nangong Yu immediately went on alert.
However, she looked weak and weak, and she didn't know any martial arts. She didn't look like some other scheming bad guy.
He wiped off the water stains on his face, "I heard that Qing Qiu has a fruit called the Sacred Heart Fruit, it can cure all illnesses. My grandfather is sick, I want to find some fruits to save my grandfather."
The answer was sincere and firm. It didn't sound like a lie.
It was hard to be filial because of this little girl. In that case, she would be a good person until the end, sending Buddha to the west to take her on a journey.
Perhaps this little girl had never thought that there would be a day when the Son of Heaven would personally lead a horse for her.
Under the watchful eyes of the two men, Shangguan Wan burned her incense to worship Buddha, she was well-behaved and had nothing wrong with it.
It was already afternoon when he returned to the Wu Residence. The sun was about to set.
Wu Xiaofei did not see her for "a long time" because she was very anxious. Once she came back, she stuck close to her, not letting her leave for even a moment.
Shangguan Wan was helpless. A puppy just happened to barge in, she had an idea and used a trick to trick them.
In the arms of Wu Xiaofei, there was a small dog, which was moaning in a beautiful manner.
"Beauty, your hands feel so comfortable. It feels like touching an animal's fur."
"Beauty, why are you so light? You have to eat more next time."
"Beauty …"
Shangguan Wan held back her laughter and walked out of the room, but Jun Yao was already back.
The two of them went into hiding, away from the nosy eyes and ears.
"Tell me, what did you find out?" Shangguan Wan was impatient, all her actions depended on the information provided by Jun Yao.
"Esteemed Empress, you're still right. Money makes the wind blow. If I didn't have the money, I wouldn't have been able to get anything out of you." After confirming that there was no one around, she whispered, "Your servant has found out that the concubine who is with the eighth concubine is her childhood sweetheart. The two of them have been keeping each other's company for the past few days, and the eighth concubine really has a lot of guts. She actually put that man in the mansion for a rendezvous."
"Then, can you deduce when will be the next time they meet?" Shangguan Wan was obviously very interested in these things. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be invincible.
As she spoke of this, she became complacent, "This servant has really put in a lot of effort and finally came to a conclusion."
Shangguan Wan immediately became alert, "What conclusion?"
"On the third, thirteenth, and twenty-third of every month, they meet in secret." Being by the Empress's side was a great stimulation. Not only could she obtain gossip, she had also learned how to collect and filter information. She felt as if she had improved by a level.
"In other words, their next tryst will be tomorrow night?" If that was the case.
She nodded affirmatively and replied, "Yes."
"Great." Shangguan Wan was a little excited, 'good things' were going to happen in the Wu Mansion tomorrow night.
After the discussion, Shangguan Wan went back to her room, Wu Xiaofei was angry.
At this moment, she was still standing in front of the door and no one in the room saw her.
"Young master, the dog in your arms is not your beauty."
Wu Xiaofei's face was as black as ink, "You bastard! Do you think I'm blind? How is the one in this grandpa's arms a dog? She is clearly this grandpa's beauty! "
In this situation, no matter what his subordinate said, it was useless, because in his eyes, this dog was Shangguan Wan.
Em, it feels a little awkward to say this.
"Master, there's really something wrong with your eyes, he's really a dog!" Presumably, this subordinate of his was also an honest man.
