Chapter 177 The Man Behind the Scenes?
"Wei Shuyu, could you find a place for Sister Nangong to stay?"
Wu Qiqi sat on the steps and asked.
As he spoke, he gave Wei Shuyu a subtle look.
"General Liang, please make the arrangements."
Liang Jianfang, who had just finished his work, didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before he was assigned another task.
He immediately began to curse Wei Shuyu in his heart.
You're just a lowly eighth-rank official; what gives you the right to command this general...?
"Don't worry, leave it to me, no problem!"
On the surface, Liang Jianfang patted his chest and readily agreed.
"Seven Seven..."
Nangong Wan'er grabbed Wu Qiqi's sleeve in a panic, tears welling in her eyes, truly a pitiful sight.
"Sister Nangong, it's alright. Wei Shuyu will definitely stand up for you!"
Wu Qiqi gently comforted her a few more times, and Nangong Wan'er then carefully left with Liang Jianfang.
At sunset.
Four young people are holding chilled juices.
The two sat cross-legged facing each other, staring at each other.
A man and a woman were sitting on the steps chatting...
"Tell me, what's all this secrecy about?"
Wei Shuyu took a sip of ice water and felt refreshed all over.
"Do you remember the mastermind behind everything in the palace?"
As soon as Wu Qiqi finished speaking, the two guys who were testing their cross-eyedness quickly slipped to the side and pricked up their ears.
You said she is...
"She might be the one behind it all."
Wu Qiqi interrupted directly, "Do you know when I first met her?"
“A few days ago, my father went to the palace to meet the Emperor Emeritus for the first time. The Emperor Emeritus was very hospitable and even arranged for geisha to perform…”
"But halfway through the performance, Nangong Wan'er suddenly fell, her private parts exposed..."
Tick-tock...
Fang Yi'ai looked like a lecherous man, drooling all over the place.
*Smack*
Choi Shin-ki slapped him on the head.
"Why did you hit me?" Fang Yi'ai wiped his drool and glared at him angrily.
"Color embryo".
"Turtle Cui, say that again?"
"House color embryo".
I'll beat you to death.
Snap snap...
Wei Shuyu stood up helplessly and smacked him twice on the head.
The two creatures hung their heads and fell silent.
"Qiqi, please continue."
"Given the circumstances, it was impossible for her to trip, and her clothes couldn't have slipped down..."
"So it's highly likely that she had a purpose, or rather, that she was trying to seduce the retired emperor!"
"Shrimp?"
Fang Yi'ai roared.
Such a stunning woman, instead of seducing me, she seduces that old geezer, the Emperor Emeritus.
Where is justice? Where is fairness?
Fang Yi'ai felt her heart was broken.
"Shut up, you pervert!"
Choi Shin-ki roared, then raised his head confidently and said, "Isn't Nangong Wan'er a bit abnormal?"
"When did you say that?" Fang Yi'ai asked angrily.
"snort."
Choi Shin-ki snorted coldly: "With my handsome looks, she didn't even glance at me. There's definitely something wrong with that!"
Even Wei Shuyu was taken aback by these remarks.
Is Little Jiji starting to use his brain?
The words may be rough, but the principle is sound.
As the eldest son of the Cui family of Qinghe, who would dare to disregard Cui Shenji?
Li Shimin, Li Yuan, Wei Zheng... even Songtsen Gampo had to take them seriously.
When Nangong Wan'er saw Cui Shenji, her eyes showed no emotion whatsoever...
Even when Wu Qiqi pushed Cui Shenji down, he brazenly followed and stepped over him.
How dare she?
Even with Wu Qiqi leading the way, how could they dare?
geisha.
Their status was extremely low!
Before being favored by a powerful figure, their status was terrifyingly low. In the palace, many maids and eunuchs could treat them with disrespect.
"What if he doesn't recognize you?"
Fang Yi'ai said leisurely.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
Cui Shenji waved his hand and said, "I have roamed Chang'an for ten years, and everyone knows me."
*Slap slap*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him twice on the head.
"Could you please stop interrupting Qiqi when she's speaking?"
"oh."
The two boys covered their heads, looking aggrieved, and fell silent again.
"Qiqi, you continue..."
“After she fell, I helped her up, and then she used that as an excuse to come looking for me every few days.”
Unfortunately, she miscalculated.
"The Emperor Emeritus has little interest in women now; he spends all his time figuring out how to find excuses to scold His Majesty."
"Seeing that she couldn't win over the retired emperor, she then set her sights on the crown prince and the Prince of Wei."
"It's strange, but these two people who used to avoid the Emperor Emeritus like the plague have been going to see him every now and then these past few days, bringing gifts and flattering him..."
Wu Qiqi glanced at Wei Shuyu: "Did you talk about His Majesty again?"
Wei Shuyu awkwardly touched his nose.
It's my duty!
"Nangong Wan'er originally had no contact with the two of them, but she thought I was just a child who didn't understand anything."
"They used my connections to hook up with both of them."
"The Crown Prince, however, remained composed and unmoved..."
Li Chengqian was a refined and cultured man.
She had a son at the age of eleven, and he's still so well-mannered?
“He likes to be gay,” Wei Shuyu couldn’t help but say.
Gay?
What is gay dating?
"Sacred Tree?"
Just as Wu Qiqi was puzzled, Cui Shenji roared, "Is he going to mess with me?"
"..."
Wei Shuyu's lips twitched; there really was a gay man.
"Stop talking nonsense and keep listening to Qiqi."
The group fell silent again.
"She didn't manage to seduce the Crown Prince, but she did manage to seduce the Prince of Wei."
"She can't move around freely in the palace; she can only take me with her."
"And so she took the opportunity to slip into the arms of the King of Wei."
Wei Shuyu probably guessed what would happen next...
Li Tai was at an age when he was eager to make a move.
How can one resist when a stunningly beautiful woman throws herself into their arms?
"Then why did you bring her here?" Wei Shuyu asked, utterly puzzled.
"I don't know."
Wu Qiqi said with a grin, "I only gave it to you because I couldn't do anything with her."
"..."
Your reasoning is so compelling that I can't find a single excuse to refute it.
However, this problem is indeed tricky.
The claim that Nangong Wan'er is the mastermind is all just Wu Qiqi's speculation.
Without evidence, no one will believe it.
However, it seems that it wouldn't be right to let Nangong Wan'er stir up trouble in the palace.
"Should we just kill him?"
Wei Shuyu stroked his chin and said.
Death ends all problems.
All my worries are gone.
"No, we haven't found the mastermind yet."
Wu Qiqi disagreed.
Wei Shuyu saved Chang Le, killed Ling Jing, and found the Imperial Seal of the State...
This feud started long ago.
If we don't find the mastermind behind this, the Wei family, being weak and isolated, won't be able to withstand the growing power of the other party.
"..."
Wei Shuyu is a complete idiot.
Killing them is not an option, nor is releasing them.
I can't possibly support myself like this, can I?
"Brother, how about I endure some hardship and marry her?"
Fang Yi'ai stepped forward, looking as if he were about to be executed.
"roll!"
Wei Shuyu kicked him directly.
I just helped you settle things with Gao Yang, and now you want to take a concubine? Do you really think I'm a matchmaker?
"I was just joking..."
Fang Yi'ai, clutching his backside, ran back with an embarrassed smile.
"I've got it."
Wei Shuyu suddenly slapped his thigh.
They all looked at Wei Shuyu...
"She's hooked up with the Prince of Wei, so let's send her to the Crown Prince..."
