Wen Xue tightened her grip on the sword, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Fine, Xu Wuyou, if you dare to make a move, I'll let you taste my sword first!"
She's planning to settle all her old and new scores with Xu Wuyou. When she gets back, she'll have to sharpen her sword until it's gleaming!
The three ministers exchanged glances. This matter involved Chuanwen's life or death, and it was a very serious matter!
——
In the palace, the emperor was playing with the little princess in the empress's palace, while the empress sewed clothes for the little princess, her face full of love and happiness. Little Tuantuan had fulfilled her dream of raising a daughter, and the little clothes and shoes were all designed to be pink and tender.
Little Tuantuan is only a little over a year old, and her hair is not even an inch long. The Empress put more care into choosing hair accessories for Little Tuantuan than she did for herself.
The family of three was enjoying a warm and cozy time when three ministers rushed in. After being allowed to enter, the three of them almost got stuck at the doorway.
The emperor's facial muscles twitched. He realized that since the imperial edict arrived, his ministers seemed to have become somewhat unruly and increasingly unreliable!
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The emperor rolled his eyes at the three of them, thinking they were behaving very poorly.
The three were rejected by the emperor. After squeezing into the room, they straightened their clothes slightly and quickly told the emperor about the vicious plot of the letter and how Xu Wuyou had drowned them.
Upon hearing this, the emperor did not stand up abruptly in shock. Instead, he appeared quite calm, only frowning as he pondered something.
The three exchanged puzzled glances. Something was amiss; why was the emperor so calm?
Recalling their earlier disdain, the three immediately became respectful. The emperor truly lived up to his title! He remained calm in the face of battle, his composure unwavering even in the face of imminent collapse—truly the demeanor of an emperor!
Looking at the somewhat frightened Queen beside them, the three of them felt a sense of comfort, as if they had found kindred spirits.
Just as the three were filled with admiration for the emperor, the emperor spoke, "Huang Qi, go and summon Xu Yunfei and Xu Wuyou to the palace."
After giving Huang Qi his instructions, he summoned Zheng Yan and asked him to bring several skilled Thousand Bull Guards to secretly protect Chuanwen.
Zheng Yan had just overheard the conversation inside the room. The emperor had ordered him to secretly protect Chuanwen, which was exactly what he wanted, so he immediately accepted the order and left.
After Zheng Yan left, the emperor was still worried, so he sent someone to summon Shen Congliang and ordered him to have the Imperial Guards strengthen patrols around the Marquis of Changxing's residence and arrest any suspicious persons they found!
The Shen residence was closer to the palace than the Xu residence, so Shen Congliang arrived earlier than the Xu father and son. When he returned from receiving his orders at the palace, he met the Xu father and son who had just arrived at the palace gate, and the three of them exchanged a brief greeting.
Watching Shen Congliang's hurried departure, the Xu father and son exchanged a glance. Both of them keenly noticed that Shen Congliang's gaze towards them just now had a hint of schadenfreude!
The two, unaware of what had happened, arrived at the Empress's palace in bewilderment. Upon learning the reason the Emperor had summoned them, they were both stunned.
All eyes were on Xu Wuyou, who was somewhat apprehensive. How could he possibly attack Chuanwen?
"I believe... that Chuanwen would never have accused Chuanyu of falling from the building."
Xu Wuyou said with certainty that after these few days of contact, he had come to know Chuanwen quite well. He didn't believe that Chuanwen, who called Yu-jie so happily, would lay a hand on Chuanyu, but he could understand if she laid a hand on him.
The others nodded in agreement. Although Chuanwen was a bit unreliable, she was still very sincere, and her unreliability generally didn't hurt anyone... well, if revealing things in public doesn't count as hurting anyone!
Um?
The nodding group suddenly realized that the current problem was whether Chuanwen would push Chuanyu downstairs.
"So, if Wen really did that, you would actually kill her?"
A sharp glint appeared in the emperor's eyes, making Xu Wuyou break out in a cold sweat. He never expected that his love life would be such a deadly challenge, not from his fiancée, but from the emperor himself!
And if you answer incorrectly, you could really lose your life!
However, Xu Wuyou calmed down and thought it over. He was not a person who disregarded the overall situation. If Chuanwen really did something to harm Chuanyu, he probably wouldn't directly send someone to kill him. After all, Chuanwen was now indispensable to the Great Jin!
However, although he won't kill Chuanwen directly, he will definitely teach her a lesson.
But how do I answer that?
Xu Wuyou silently wiped away sweat in his heart. Before he could answer, the emperor sighed and said, "Never mind, never mind. He also believed that Chuanwen would not take action, so there would be no such thing as a 'what if'."
However, the emperor still instructed Xu Wuyou, "No matter what, you must not lay a hand on Wen'er, otherwise, I will not spare you!"
Xu Yunfei and Xu Wuyou quickly kowtowed and promised that they would rather lay a hand on Chuanwen than on themselves!
Chuanwen knew nothing about what was happening in the palace, mainly because her attention was entirely focused on her own fate as a villainous supporting character, and she didn't pay any attention to what was going on in the palace.
Then there's Wen Xue, who's been sharpening her knives these past few days, her eyes gleaming. She even chopped down flies that flew near Chuanwen, leaving him feeling uneasy. Chuanwen even went so far as to look for out who had offended Wen Xue, but found nothing. Wen Xue hadn't been in contact with anyone other than her these past few days!
Although he didn't know who had offended Wen Xue, Chuanwen glanced at the pitiful fly and concluded that he should never mess with Wen Xue, as she was even more terrifying than his sister Yu's sledgehammer!
It was the day the girls' school was on holiday again. Chuanyu's girlfriends had a small gathering at the Crane Tower and asked Chuanyu to bring Chuanwen along, as they hadn't seen him for many days.
So when Marquis Changxing went to see Chuanwen that day, he was told by his servants that Chuanyu had summoned Chuanwen to the Crane Tower. He was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, but luckily he managed to grab the wall for support.
