"But for your sake." Shangguan Wan stretched out her hand to stroke his long hair, "How can Emperor Xuan Yue's woman not have a conscience?"
"Haha …" Nangong Yu couldn't help but laugh. He liked these words.
He had originally been worried that she wouldn't even know the people from Nan Yan's side, and that it would be very troublesome. Now that he thought about it, he felt that there was simply no need to worry. With her intelligence, she would definitely be able to adapt.
"However, you need to go back and forth for at least two months. During this period of time, I'm afraid that you …" Nangong Yu originally didn't want to bring it up, but knowing how important this matter was to her, she still opened his mouth.
Shangguan Wan however, acted very magnanimously, "It doesn't matter, there are some things that you can't find even if you look for them intentionally. When the time comes, it will naturally come out."
When Nangong Yu heard her words, he felt relieved. He was afraid that Ning Xuemo would be burdened by something.
Shangguan Wan twined his hair around her finger, playing around with it as much as she could, while gossiping, "Last time the emperor said he wanted to test Zhao Ping, and now this is a good opportunity, what do you think?"
In any case, there was no hope for that little Daoist. As an imperial aunt, she naturally had to plan for her niece.
Nangong Yu understood tacitly, "You mean, bring Zhao Ping and Qi He along as well?"
Shangguan Wan nodded. She believed that after observing them all the way back and forth, she would know whether or not they were worthy of her trust.
The emperor was a little displeased. He had originally been fantasizing about the world of the two of them, but now there were two more people in this meeting.
This girl knew what her man was thinking, so she quickly put him in her arms and hugged him. She comforted him with a smile, "Your Majesty, you have to take a long view, us husband and wife have worked together to marry Qi off. In the future, she won't come to Feng Gui Palace to bother us anymore, right? To use two months of time to exchange for half a lifetime of happiness and ease in the future, this business is worth it! "
The Son of Heaven was thoroughly amused by her. This girl had great eloquence.
"Alright, then I'll do as the empress says."
The singer followed suit.
When Qi He heard that there was a chance to go to the Southern Swallow Mountain, that was what he had wished for. However, when she heard that the young prince Zhao Ping was also going, she was a little displeased.
This must have been deliberately arranged by Imperial Aunt, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell.
What surprised Shangguan Wan was that the first person to voice her dissatisfaction wasn't Wei He, nor was it Luo Chen, but Qin Fei.
"The Queen wants to be a matchmaker, but she has to find out who she is." Qin Yue's eyes were cold, like a murderous blade.
In the pavilion in the imperial garden, Shangguan Wan stroked her zither while Ruixiang waited silently by the side.
As a result, Qin Fei's voice was very abrupt to the zither music.
"I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand the Imperial Advisor's words." As an Imperial Advisor, she could only tolerate him not bowing to her. Who asked him to surpass her with his techniques?
"Zhao Ping is cowardly, how can he match up to the others?"
Shangguan Wan's hand suddenly stopped, the zither music also stopped abruptly. She slowly raised her head and faced Qin Fei with an exceptionally cold face. "The State Grandmaster is too concerned about his own disciple."
Qin Fei's eyes turned even darker. "There's no need for the empress to care about this."
A wild fox, possessing a person that could become a fake, actually put on the airs of a queen. It was extremely laughable.
Shangguan Wan was not annoyed. If the other party had the strength to look down on her, then so be it. This should be retribution. She was so toward Luo Chen, and Qin Fei was so towards her now.
"I just want to remind you that this was the result of discussions between the emperor and me. If you're not satisfied, go speak to the emperor." Summoning the tiger to leave the mountain was a common tactic used by the soldiers, but this tiger wouldn't be able to leave.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Rui Xiang acted as if nothing had happened as she silently stood there. She was even more cold and proud than the cold and aloof Qin Fei.
"This is the last warning from the Imperial Advisor. Take care."
Shangguan Wan was neither humble nor arrogant, "Bullying the weak is not something that a gentleman should do."
She had already come up with a plan. Was it really out of the love of her master for his disciple that Qin Yue cared so much about Qi He?
Why did it feel like something was wrong.
A cool breeze blew, and a strand of hair flew down from Qin Fei's forehead to his back. The crimson red clothes gave him an indescribable sense of beauty, but the expression on his face was clearly cold.
He was over thirty years old, and was not as frivolous and young as the emperor. There was an extra bit of steadiness and maturity to him, but just because of this, it made people feel that he was unreachable.
"In this world, there are far more villains than gentlemen." Qin Fei didn't use a voice transmission and said these words directly.
Then he started to leave the place.
Shangguan Wan continued to sit and play, blending in with the beautiful scenery of the imperial garden happily.
However, there was something else in her mind.
Nangong Yu had told her last night that Shangguan Wan herself had been in good health, at least until she left for Xuanding.
Looks like even the Emperor has smelled something fishy.
When she finished playing, she stepped forward and helped her to her feet, her face expressionless.
Shangguan Wan asked with a smile, "I'm going back to South Yan, do you want to accompany me?"
When the Emperor brought Little Lin along with him, he would also bring some people along with him. There was no need to worry about Luo Chen. That was why she asked Rui Xiang.
Ruixiang paused, then nodded, as if she was willing.
