"Your Majesty, the Eastern Emperor is not here," Zi Teng reported to me after asking the palace servants in the Council Hall.
Not here? I looked around Liu Lieyu's study, but since someone was guarding it, I didn't dare to move around.
"Wisteria, get me some paper and pen."
Zifang nodded, hurriedly took out paper and pen and handed them to me, asking, "Your Majesty, what is it for?"
I laid the paper on the table, bent down, picked up my pen, and said, "I'm leaving a letter for Liu Lieyu."
After quickly writing down a few sentences, I folded it and placed it in the most conspicuous spot on Liu Lieyu's desk. I clapped my hands and exclaimed, "Done!"
"Your Majesty, what did you write?" Wisteria glanced curiously at the note on the table, but did not reach out to open it.
"secret."
It has been three whole days since I left the note on Liu Lieyu's desk the day before yesterday, and I still haven't seen him.
I'm so heartbroken and exhausted, how come he always manages to perfectly avoid me when I need him?
"Your Majesty, don't be sad." Zi Teng came in with some snacks and comforted her. "My aunt hasn't returned yet either. Perhaps the war outside is too intense. When the Emperor returns, he will definitely come to see you first."
I looked up and forced a smile at Zi Teng. Luckily, I didn't really like Liu Lieyu, otherwise I would have been furious if I had listened to Zi Teng's authoritative words. What kind of person with no emotional intelligence would tell a man's wife, "Your husband isn't back. Don't worry, his secretary isn't back either. They're together. They're probably busy. They'll come to you when they're done."
"Wisteria, do you know what Donghuang and your aunt do together?" I adjusted my mindset and put on the expression of a jealous little woman.
I suspect that Zifeng is relaying my every move to Liu Lieyu. The reason I've been deliberately showing extra concern for Liu Lieyu these past few days is to let him know through Zifeng that I'm thinking of him.
Zi Teng pondered for a moment, her expression somewhat confused. "I don't know either. It's just a discussion of some government affairs that I don't understand."
"I see." I sighed and said dejectedly, "In the past, it was always me and Donghuang who discussed things. I never imagined that things would be so different now."
"Your Majesty, please don't be like this. Once you've thought it through, the Eastern Emperor will definitely set you free and return your magical powers to you."
"I don't care about magic power, it's just that I really miss the days when I fought alongside Donghuang." I put on a nostalgic look.
"The Empress..."
I glanced at the wisteria and noticed that it was looking at me thoughtfully.
Well, that concludes today's performance. If we go too far in our actions or words, it might arouse suspicion.
I reached out to grab the snacks on the table, lowering my eyes to hide my thoughts.
My only option now is to feign ingratiation and get close to Liu Lieyu, making him happy. This will both provoke Fei Yan and allow me to slowly reclaim my magical power.
In this world where gods and demons roam freely, without magic, one is like a venomous snake without its fangs, at the mercy of others.
Fei Yan is deeply in love with Liu Lieyu. With my malicious guidance, I don't believe she would really have no choice but to fall for it. As long as she helps me, she can win Liu Lieyu's heartfelt love. I think Fei Yan would have no way to refuse.
But everything has to be done slowly, never mind. I picked through the dates on the plate, took one out and put it in my mouth, my eyes full of calculation.
