In a daze, Yuan Li felt as if she were in a dream, and stood frozen in place.
In his eyes, He Wu was absolutely stunning at that moment.
In fact, He Wu was already very beautiful, with a slender figure and exquisite features. The small black mole between her eyebrows was like the finishing touch, drawing all eyes to her beauty.
Springtime beauty, beautiful women.
This brief eye contact created a romantic atmosphere in the room.
Yuan Li immediately sensed something was wrong and turned her head away, saying, "Your Majesty, it is impolite of me to intrude like this!"
“It’s not your fault, the door wasn’t closed anyway.” He Wu’s emotions suddenly calmed down. She slowly put down the porcelain and said, “I recognize you. You are Prince Xin.”
Yuan Li then formally bowed to He Wu and said, "This humble prince greets Your Majesty the Empress."
"No need." He Wu glanced at her own body and said, "I'm already like this, what's the point of bowing?"
Yuan Li thought for a moment, took off the long robe he was wearing, went over and closed it for He Wu, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't think too much. I know my brother's temperament. He might have been a little harsh on you when you were arguing earlier, but that's because there were outsiders present, and he had to maintain his imperial dignity. You are already the Empress, and that won't be easily changed."
The moment Yuan Li closed her clothes, He Wu was somewhat dazed, so much so that she didn't immediately hear what Yuan Li said. After a moment of stunned silence, she recalled what he said and asked doubtfully, "Really?"
Yuan Li nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise my brother wouldn't have asked me to come and keep you company."
He Wu bit her lip and asked doubtfully, "Has His Majesty... always been like that?"
Yuan Li understood what He Wu was asking and murmured, "I can't say much to my sister-in-law about this. I hope you and my brother will get along well in the future. Once he trusts you, he will naturally tell you everything."
“Prince Xin, I can tell from your face that you are a good person.” He Wu suddenly grabbed Yuan Li’s hand and led him to sit down at the table in the inner room, saying, “Tell me more about your childhood with His Majesty, okay?”
“This…” Yuan Li hesitated.
Before he could reply, He Wu suddenly got up and walked outside, closing the door behind her. She then returned and said, "You said it yourself, His Majesty sent you to keep me company."
He Wu sat down on the edge of the bed, leaned against the headboard, and said, "You are not allowed to leave until I am satisfied!"
...
After being defeated by Zhao Wu that night, Du Yucheng locked himself in his room and didn't go out. He didn't attend the lunch and dinner banquets the next day.
He tried his best to recall Zhao Wu's fierce strike and analyze why he had been defeated so quickly, in order to wash away the unbearable memories that followed.
What infuriated him was that Zhao Cheng, of all people, arranged for someone to keep spraying floral water outside his room, clearly reminding him that he smelled bad and needed to mask it with the fragrance of floral water.
Chengdu is so angry it's like it wants to kill someone!
I took a shower as soon as I got back, okay?
I washed it three times!
at night.
There was a knock on the door of Du Yu's house in Chengdu.
"who?"
"General An Yuan, it's me."
Upon recognizing Yu Changsi's voice, Du Yucheng got up to open the door and welcome Yu Changsi in.
Yu Changsi said, "Lord Wei wants to return with us and wants to discuss the return trip with me. When does General An Yuan plan to leave?"
"I'll leave now!" Du Yucheng said indignantly.
Yu Changsi took in Du Yucheng's emotions and smiled, "General, you say you want to leave, but you seem a little unwilling?"
Du Yucheng said guiltily, "Yanchuan City isn't a good place, so what do I have to be resentful about!"
"General, your affair caused quite a stir. Do you think Liu Ling is unaware of it?" Yu Changsi said quietly as he sat down in a chair.
Yu Changsi came with a mission, which is why Wen Hu specifically sent Liu Ling with him. Even without the commotion at Hongxiu Tower, as long as Liu Ling was watching, it would be difficult to keep any secrets hidden.
Of course, Yu Changsi didn't have Liu Ling follow Du Yucheng. He had Liu Ling keep an eye on Zhao Cheng, which is how he learned about what happened between Zhao Cheng and Du Yucheng.
Du Yucheng bowed to Yu Changsi and said, "Please, sir, do not make a fuss."
Yu Changsi said, "Of course I won't say it. But if Zhao Cheng is determined to spread this matter, there's no stopping him."
"That Zhao Cheng!" Du Yucheng exclaimed angrily, "I wish I could skin him alive!"
Yu Changsi glanced out the window and reminded him, "We are still in the Right Prime Minister's residence, General, please be careful with your words."
"Now that you know, sir, I won't hide it anymore. Yes! I'm not reconciled! I've never suffered such humiliation in my entire life!"
Yu Changsi picked at his eyes, agreeing with Du Yucheng's complaints. Such a humiliation was indeed not something everyone had the opportunity to bear.
"Then what do you want to do?" Yu Changsi asked in a low voice, "Do you really want revenge?"
Seeing that Yu Changsi was steering the conversation toward this matter, Du Yucheng immediately perked up and said, "Sir, you are the chief strategist of the Left Prime Minister's office. Can you give me an idea? Do you have a way to get revenge?"
Yu Changsi smiled, thinking to himself that this guy was a fierce general on the battlefield, but he was really single-minded and fell for the trap immediately.
"There is a way, but it depends on how far the general wants to go. You have to tell me the truth."
"Take his life!"
"Eliminating Zhao Cheng would indeed be beneficial to the Left Prime Minister's residence, but how will you extricate yourself from this situation?"
Du Yucheng sat down next to Yu Changsi and said, "This depends on you, sir. I know you will have a solution!"
Yu Changsi smiled slightly and said nothing more.
