The spy on the ground was silent.
"Your Majesty, do you need me to intercept the poison?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence. Xiao Luochen lowered his handsome face with deep and upright features slightly, and his stern dark eyes paused for a moment, as he was deep in thought.
He was obviously considering whether to save Sheng Wu.
The chief steward next to him also frowned slightly.
He is an old man who has been following Xiao Luochen since he was a young boy and not yet the crown prince, so he is naturally loyal to him.
However, the matter was of great importance at the moment, and he could not speak easily.
But he knew that during the days when the Empress Dowager was under house arrest, whenever the Emperor was tired of reviewing memorials late at night, he would take them out of the drawer of his desk.
He took out a broken pen and kept looking at it with a complicated expression.
Even if others don't know, he, the general manager of the party involved, must know it.
That pen was used by the Empress Dowager when she came to the Imperial Study recently and boldly said that the Emperor had gone through a dog hole to see her at the General's Mansion!
The emperor was so angry that he broke the pen.
Originally, this useless thing should have been disposed of by the servants, but the emperor put it away and forbade anyone to touch it...
If we say that the Emperor doesn't have anything to do with the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid it's hard to say.
But in the end, Xiao Luochen lowered his head, thinking deeply with an unclear expression.
He still closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and sighed slowly in a cold voice.
"No need, just send the people from the General's Mansion to see the Queen Mother."
He said this very slowly, as if giving himself a chance to regret.
But, you are not joking.
As soon as these words were spoken, the spy lowered his head.
"yes!"
Then he retreated.
After the spy left, Xiao Luochen didn't say anything else. He just continued to lean over the desk piled with memorials, busy reviewing them with a gloomy look in his eyes.
No one knows the complexity and entanglement in his heart at this moment.
Yes, if Sheng Wu died, the important link of the General’s Mansion to control the harem would be gone.
If she died, the rumors outside would disappear on their own.
If she died, that concubine and the General's Mansion would give him a handle to attack and weaken the General's Mansion, giving Sheng Jiangqi a warning.
If she died, the strange emotions he had been feeling because of her would also disappear.
No, it's fine.
......
Pei Yuqing was still in his mansion at this moment, with a serious look in his eyes as he made arrangements to rescue Sheng Wu.
This woman really knows how to find things to do for herself!
After hearing this, Ming'an couldn't help but frown.
"Master, there's no need to make such a costly deployment just for that vicious woman, the Empress Dowager! You should know that we've already put a lot of effort into arranging the imperial mausoleum. If we mobilize those people just for the Empress Dowager now, then once the Emperor notices something's amiss and conducts a thorough investigation of the mausoleum, all our hidden forces will be wasted!"
After these words were spoken, Pei Yuqing's face turned even darker, as if he was unable to express his bitterness.
How could he not know that his life was in Sheng Wu's hands!
As soon as he came back last night, he quickly arranged for many doctors to check on him, and even an informant from the Imperial Hospital took his pulse.
However, just as Sheng Wu said, they had no idea where to start and did not dare to act rashly.
So, what else could he do? Of course, he had to rescue Sheng Wu first. Otherwise, he would be buried with that crazy woman before he could complete his revenge!
But could he confess to Ming An about such a thing as being plotted against, especially after Sheng Wu's disgraceful behavior? Obviously not!
So, in the end, it was Pei Yuqing.
One took it all!
Pei Yuqing took a deep breath, suppressing the mixed feelings in his heart. His pale but not obviously evil face darkened. He pulled his trembling thin lips, and his feminine voice became cold.
"Alright, no need to say more. I will bear the consequences regardless."
At worst, after saving that crazy woman, I can just endure her torture a few more times!
"Can......"
Ming An frowned and wanted to persuade her again. He didn't understand why his master would protect that arrogant and domineering woman in just a few days!
Could it be that the master was seduced by her beauty!
But Pei Yuqing was still a little tired at the moment and didn't want to say anything more.
"Alright! You can go down now. Also, send someone to keep an eye on Sheng Wu. If anything happens, notify me immediately. Remember, don't let anyone take Sheng Wu's faked-dead body away without permission!"
Otherwise, if she woke up and found that her hair was broken off or some body parts were missing, she would never know how to get them back from him.
But he couldn't do anything about this crazy woman! !
Hearing this, Ming An was confused and felt strange. He thought his master had different feelings for the vicious queen mother, which was why he helped her at all costs.
But why, when the master mentioned that woman, even with his understatement, did he feel a pang of hatred?
However, seeing Pei Yuqing's gloomy expression and his unwillingness to speak, Ming An, as a caring subordinate, silently shut up and did as he was told.
Pei Yuqing took advantage of this opportunity to take a short rest after a sleepless night.
Then, go collect Sheng Wu’s body!!!
