Chapter 193: Buried with Him
"You can't tell? Then what use do I have for you?"
Emperor Yongping lowered his voice, with feigned anger in his tone.
"Father, how can I speak of something that cannot be verified?"
Chu Chengyi put down his brush and began to argue with Emperor Yongping half-truthfully.
In reality, he just wanted to take a break.
When Chu Qinshu woke up, she heard her grandfather the emperor and her father discussing whether the auspicious beast could transform into a human form.
It was so lively.
"I think the auspicious beast can definitely transform into a human form. It would be nice if the little white tiger could transform into a chubby and cute figure like Sui'er and play with Shu'er."
Emperor Yongping nodded as he spoke, and even in his mind he saw the scene of Chu Yansui, transformed from the little white tiger, and playing with Chu Qinshu.
"Shu'er, are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Chu Chengyi believed that the spirit beast could not transform into a human form, so he ignored Emperor Yongping's words.
Instead, he rushed in front of him and hugged Chu Qinshu, who had just opened her eyes.
“Oh.”
[Shu'er is hungry, Shu'er is tired, Shu'er wants to pee, Shu'er wants to drink milk. ]
Chu Qinshu was woken up by the urge to pee. She had been busy in the space for a while and originally wanted to take a nap, but one has to wake up when there are three urgent matters.
"Okay, Daddy will carry Shu'er to pee now."
Chu Chengyi did not call Aunt Yao, but asked Lin Fu to take Chu Qinshu's golden basin to Yu's study room early. He could solve the problem by carrying her over now.
Emperor Yongping was thinking about the auspicious beast and did not hold Chu Qinshu who had just woken up. In his heart, he was a little bit angry with Chu Chengyi for stealing his job.
But after thinking about it, I didn't say anything. The milk wasn't hot yet, so it would be just right for him to warm it up with his hands.
Only after Chu Qinshu had eaten and drunk her fill did Emperor Yongping couldn't help but ask, "Shu'er, did you have fun playing with the auspicious beast today?"
“Oh.”
[I'm happy, but a little tired. The white tiger baby can run so fast that even Shu'er can't catch up.]
Chu Qinshu continued to make up lies and she didn't want to mention the matter of Worm Valley.
Emperor Yongping disliked the empress and was even more afraid of worm valley.
She didn't want the things that were given to her, and telling the emperor about it would only cause more trouble to Emperor Yongping.
As for space, fog, valleys...
It's too troublesome to explain, so it's more interesting to make up a lie.
"Really? Tigers are fierce beasts, so they naturally run fast. Shu'er is still young, so if you can't catch up, just chase slowly, there's no need to rush."
Emperor Yongping was delighted to hear what Chu Qinshu said so convincingly.
Those who didn't know would think that he had seen the auspicious beast himself.
"Yes, I don't chase them. I just play with them. When I grow up, they will be able to play with me."
Chu Qinshu continued to talk nonsense, and she even believed it herself.
......
Matthew spent the day in fear and was afraid to sleep at night.
He sent the secret guards out to search for a whole day, but there was still no trace of the guards.
Even his instructor from the Dark Guard Camp went out to look for him personally, but by midnight, there was still no news.
"Any news from Yuzhou?"
Matthew Li sat in the study with a shiny broadsword beside him.
I don't know whether it is to shock others or to give myself courage.
Sitting opposite him was Mo Li, the instructor of his Dark Guard Camp.
"My Lord, there is no news from there."
Mo Li's tone was light, without a trace of emotion.
As soon as he got the news, he went looking for clues, but found nothing in six hours.
Of that group of secret guards, only six were in the capital, and the remaining eighteen were in Yuzhou.
There was no trace of them left in the capital, and those who went to Yuzhou to look for them could not arrive so quickly.
He sent out an emergency contact signal at the agreed location, but none of the eighteen people responded.
This was the first time he encountered such a situation.
"No news? Does Master Mo have any idea about the situation in Yuzhou?"
As Matthew Li asked more questions, he became increasingly unsure.
The secret guards are his strength. Now that the secret guards are missing, how can he still have the strength?
"Master, rest assured. I have sent another group of people to make up for the shortage. They will be able to reach Yuzhou in eighteen hours by traveling day and night."
Morley only focused on training the secret guards and did not get involved in what Matthew did.
It was because the secret guards disappeared that Matthew told Mo Li about the deployment of the eighteen secret guards in Yuzhou.
But all he could do was to replenish the staff. He had no interest in anything else and didn't want to get involved.
"Forget it. Let's wait until they get to Yuzhou and send back the news."
Matthew waved his hands helplessly, wanting to go to the couch and sleep for a while, but he was a little wary of Mo Li.
A shadowy teacher could kill him with a snap of the fingers.
If he falls asleep, I'm afraid the Ma Mansion will have to hang a white flag tomorrow, right?
It's really funny to say, Zhou Hongjing, who should be hanging the white flag, is still alive and kicking, but he is going to walk ahead of him?
Mo Li saw that Matthew was jealous of him, and although he had no emotion in his heart, he still spoke up to remind him.
"Master, the date of our agreement has not yet come. You do not need to worry that I will betray you. I am not a person who does not follow the rules."
Matthew Li did not comment on this.
But he still said, "Master Mo, please go back and do your work. I want to take a rest."
It is already past midnight. After sleeping for another hour or so, it is time to get up and prepare to go to court.
He is already over fifty years old and a civil servant, so his physique is not as strong as that of a military commander.
He had been worried a lot lately, and he was also frightened and staying up late.
Maybe he really could be ahead of that old bastard Zhou Hongjing.
No, it is not possible to leave. Even if he wants to leave, he will have to drag that old bastard Zhou Hongjing to be buried with him.
"Someone come."
Matthew Li became furious when he thought of Zhou Hongjing.
In order not to implicate Prince Ning, he did not dare to go to Prince Ning and talk about the affairs of Yuzhou easily.
Therefore, he could only blame all the guilt on Zhou Hongjing.
If Zhou Hongjing hadn't lost Chu Chengzhao, how could the emperor have found his way to Yuzhou?
"Master, I'm here."
Ma Tiao answered from outside the study door.
"Go and inform the lady. Tomorrow the lady of the Zhou family will come to the mansion. If she wants to talk about the marriage between the eldest young master and the second young lady of the Zhou family, let her agree to it."
After Matthew finished his instructions, he lay down and went to sleep.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
After Ma Tiao agreed, he went to the courtyard where Mrs. Ma lived.
At this hour, Mrs. Ma had naturally gone to bed long ago.
But there were maids on duty inside and outside her yard, and Ma Tiao just needed to pass a message to them and the matter was settled.
The next morning, Zhou Hongjing also canceled his leave and came to court.
He did not know that he had been assassinated by Matthew because he was not staying in the main courtyard that night.
Instead, he let a servant who was similar in build to him sleep on the bed in his main courtyard for one night.
But the night passed and nothing happened.
He thought he was frightened by the execution and became suspicious, so he didn't think too much about it.
"Morning, Master Ma."
When he met Matthew Li, Zhou Hongjing took the initiative to greet him.
Matthew Li went to bed late last night and got up a little late today.
Moreover, he was a Shangshu, and his position was several rows ahead of Jingzhao Yin, so it was normal for him to pass in front of Zhou Hongjing.
However, Zhou Hongjing's enthusiasm was still ignored by Matthew Lee.
"snort!"
Matthew Li flicked the sleeves of his official robe without even looking at Zhou Hongjing.
Zhou Hongjing: “…”
He had not attended court for many days. When did he provoke this person?
