"Uh...how about this, I'll accept it on behalf of my royal brother. Thank you, General, thank you, Emperor Ming! Hehehe!" Chu Youyang laughed randomly.
Qu Lang's frown finally relaxed. "That's right. I understand all the things about men! Don't worry. With these two, the Emperor of Wu will soon feel better!"
Chu Youyang loved to hear this. The dead were gone, and Chu Younan had to get over the pain, otherwise he would be trapped in the capital for the rest of his life.
"Okay, okay! I will hold a banquet to welcome General Qu some other day!" Chu Youyang spoke in an official tone.
The two female spies were arranged to stay in the harem. There were plenty of empty places anyway, and the two of them could never fill up the places even if they changed places to stay every day.
What's more, the emperor was not in the palace at all. When Chu Youyang left the palace in the evening, Chi Yu was the only male in the huge harem.
Chu Youyang kept his promise and arranged a state banquet a few days later. However, because the queen had passed away less than a year ago, there was no singing, dancing, or performances, and no wine. There was only food, and it was vegetarian.
The banquet was about to start, but Qu Lang hadn't arrived yet.
"What's going on? Does he think it's too simple?" Chu Youyang was a little unhappy. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. My third sister-in-law hasn't celebrated her first birthday yet. How can I arrange a feast with delicious food, singing, dancing and drinking for her?"
Yu Chuan stepped forward, bowed and whispered: "Your Highness, that's not the case. I heard from General Qu's people that the general's wife seems to be missing."
"Oh?" Chu Youyang looked regretful. "We have to look for it. Send the Royal Guards to help look for it."
"Yes!" Yu Chuan agreed and went to inform the commander of the Jinyiwei.
When Yuanfeng and his men arrived at the inn where Qu Lang was staying, they learned that the general's wife had already returned, so he went to invite Qu Lang into the palace in person.
When they arrived outside Qu Lang's room, Qu Lang's servant did not dare to knock on the door. It was not his fault. Anyone who heard the noise inside would probably not dare to go in.
"Bitch! Where did you go without my permission?" Qu Lang's scolding was accompanied by the sound of slaps. Yuanfeng felt sorry for the general's wife when he heard it.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door himself, "General Qu! I am Yuan Feng, the commander of the Jinyiwei. Your Majesty has sent me to take you to the palace!"
Even though Qu Lang didn't take Chu Youyang seriously, he had to give him some face since he was on Chu Youyang's territory, so he stopped.
"Hmph! If you dare to sneak out again, you'll die!" After saying this, Qu Lang kicked Bei Danzhu and walked out.
Through the door that Qu Lang opened, Yuan Feng actually saw that the general's wife seemed to be naked. He quickly dodged, but he didn't expect Qu Lang to say in an extremely disdainful tone: "If Lord Yuan likes her, why don't you let this bitch accompany you to your house tonight? Hahaha!"
Yuan Feng was startled and said in a panic: "General, you must be joking!"
Qu Lang didn't say much, just laughed.
Yuanfeng felt that something was wrong. Who could make such a joke about his own wife? Either Qu Lang was seriously ill, or the lady in the joke was not a wife, but a woman from some building or courtyard.
But this had nothing to do with him, so he hurriedly took Qu Lang into the palace.
Inside the house, Bei Danzhu put on her clothes silently, tears streaming down her cheeks. She didn't cry when Qu Lang hit her just now, but now that he was gone, she couldn't help crying.
Qu Lang said he was going to a banquet and had already left, so she took this opportunity to go out, not for anything else, just to see the child.
In fact, I also want to see Song Gui.
Although she didn't see the child, she did see Song Gui. Moreover, Song Gui was not alone. A woman brought him a food box.
Bei Danzhu couldn't help but think of how much Song Gui loved her. Even though she told herself again and again that a princess had her mission and should marry a prince or nobleman, she still felt jealous.
In addition, Qu Lang returned and mistakenly thought that she had done something shameful, so he forcibly stripped her clothes and inspected her, and then beat and kicked her...
A thought arose in Bei Danzhu's mind, a thought of wanting to escape.
"I know where you've been!" A voice suddenly came from behind her, and Bei Danzhu was startled.
She turned around and saw Qu Liu smiling slyly.
"Get out!" Bei Danzhu said coldly.
Qu Liu not only did not leave, but took a step forward, "I saw it all, you carried my father with that man... hehehehe..."
He smiled maliciously.
Bei Danzhu felt relieved, thinking that he might be trying to trick her by saying that.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qu Liu thought he had guessed right and moved forward again, "My father doesn't like you, and you are not valued by the Hades Emperor, just like me. We are both miserable people. Why don't we join forces... You help me speak well of the Hades Emperor, and I will help you get rid of this old guy. By then, I will sit on the position of the general, and you are the general's widow, so you can be friends with whoever you want..."
Bei Danzhu was not surprised. It was not the first time she heard that her son wanted to kill his father. It was not a bad idea.
"Then what's in it for me?" Bei Danzhu looked at him coldly.
If Qu Liu had promised her some other benefits, Bei Danzhu might have considered cooperating with him, but Qu Liu's words caused her extreme disgust.
"You see, my father is a naturally romantic man, and he must have wronged you. But I am strong and healthy, no worse than your guy..." Qu Liu said as he was about to make a move.
Bei Danzhu's eyes flashed with coldness, and she raised her hand to fight him, "Do you think you can covet this princess?!"
Qu Liu knew martial arts, but he didn't dare to confront her head-on. After all, she was his nominal mother. If he broke into her bedroom privately, according to Qu Lang's temper, he would at least skin him alive.
Bei Danzhu didn't dare to say anything, for she knew that if this matter got out, Qu Lang would definitely get angry at her without any reason.
So the two of them exchanged a few moves quietly, and Qu Liu fled in a hurry.
Bei Danzhu looked in the direction he fled, his eyes were particularly bright, just like the flamboyant Bei Danzhu in the past...
Qu Lang was not enjoying the palace banquet today. First of all, he found out that Bei Danzhu had sneaked out before he left. Secondly, he simply couldn't swallow the food Chu Youyang treated him to.
"Do you think I'm a cow or a sheep? You just let me eat grass!" On the way back, Qu Lang said angrily to the servant.
He loved meat and had to eat it from breakfast. When had he ever eaten such a meal? But people said that the queen had passed away and the whole country was in mourning for a year, not eating meat or drinking alcohol, and no palace banquets were held. In order to maintain superficial harmony, he had nothing to say.
When he returned to the inn, he was planning to vent his anger on Bei Danzhu again, but who knew that Bei Danzhu actually brought him a pot of something that smelled of meat.
"I heard from the people at the post station that Wu country has the custom of mourning and eating vegetarian food, so I know that the general must not have had a good time today. This is specially prepared for you." Bei Danzhu said humbly, and took out a jar of wine. "This was bought by my waiter and I at a high price. We are not Wu people, so we don't have to follow their customs."
Qu Lang was overjoyed and found Bei Danzhu more pleasing to the eye. He reached out to hug her. Unexpectedly, Bei Danzhu turned aside and said, "I am not feeling well. Please don't dirty the general's hands. Let them accompany the general."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and two maids who came with her dowry came in.
With wine, meat and beautiful women, Qu Lang reached the peak of his life that night.
