"Hey! Ha! Hey! Ha..."
Situ Ye was hiding in the dense forest, and the loud and powerful training sounds of the group of people in the valley came to his ears.
His brows furrowed slightly as he pondered: If these were the official imperial army, why would they be hiding here? Then... whose private soldiers were they? Which princess's, or the Prince of Pingxi's?
Just as Situ Ye was lost in thought, a dashing figure in tight clothes suddenly stepped out from the team ahead. His eyes widened. Was that... the virtuous king, the eldest princess, Nalan Junxue?
"Haven't you eaten yet?" Nalan Junxue's eyes were sharp. She first glanced around and then shouted at the team. Her voice was clear and loud, echoing in the valley.
Following Nalan Junxue's sharp shout, everyone trained even harder, as if infused with boundless strength. Their movements were perfectly synchronized, and their chants were deafening.
Situ Ye watched all this quietly, and a storm suddenly surged in his heart. Was she planning a rebellion?
Just as Situ Ye was about to order someone to detonate the thunder bomb to attract the attention of the people in the palace, he was stopped by a deep voice: "Wait!"
Situ Ye looked back and saw a black figure coming towards them silently, which frightened him so much that he almost fell backwards.
"Qing...Qingcheng, why...why are you here?" Situ Ye's eyes were filled with surprise. When did this woman follow them? He actually didn't notice at all.
"You are hiding something from me and planning to act privately. You are really getting more capable!" Hua Qingcheng, who was dressed in black, grabbed Situ Ye's ear and pretended to be angry.
Her husbands were not only skilled but also quite ambitious. She had to attend school during the day and, at night, attend to government affairs and review memorials at the palace. Her days were extremely busy. If she hadn't sent someone to keep an eye on them, she wouldn't have known these guys were secretly plotting something big.
Seeing this, Ye Yi and his subordinates quickly turned their heads and pretended not to see Situ Ye's embarrassed appearance.
[Ye Yi: Those whose names begin with "Ye" are the people responsible for gathering information under Mu Li Ge. Ye Yi is the leader.]
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Qingcheng, please give me some face..." Situ Ye held Hua Qingcheng's hand that was pinching his ear and begged for mercy softly.
In the dark night, with the light of torches in the distance, Hua Qingcheng could still vaguely see Situ Ye's masculine and handsome face. At this moment, he looked like a wronged and bullied little husband, which made her both angry and amused.
Hua Qingcheng released the hand that was pinching Situ Ye's ear, put away her playful expression, and asked seriously, "What exactly are you planning to do?"
Situ Ye had no choice but to sell out Mu Lige, and then told Hua Qingcheng his plan in detail.
"You didn't tell me about such a big thing!" Hua Qingcheng raised her hand and patted Situ Ye's head again in annoyance, "Brother Li just gave birth to a child, you can discuss these things with me later."
"But, my elder brother..." At this moment, Situ Ye wished he could split himself in half. He felt that he was really caught in a dilemma.
"Brother, don't forget that I am the head of the family. Even your elder brother has to listen to me." Hua Qingcheng twisted Situ Ye's ear again, and the latter instantly turned into an extremely resentful punching bag.
"Is that so?" Situ Ye glanced at the woman beside him suspiciously out of the corner of his eye.
"That's natural. Women are in charge of outside affairs, and men are in charge of inside affairs. Your eldest brother will take care of household affairs, and I will take care of outside affairs." Hua Qingcheng said as a matter of course.
She wondered if she had spoiled these men too much, causing her to lose her role as a wife. However, these concerns could only be put aside for now. It was more important to deal with the matter at hand.
After a brief moment of thought, Hua Qingcheng retrieved a piece of paper and pen from her space space and quickly wrote a line of words. She then tilted her head to look at the Saker Falcon atop the little white tiger and solemnly instructed, "Qiongtian, you're the fastest here. Go to the General's Mansion in the east of the city and deliver this letter to General Feng Cailan. Can you complete the task?"
"Chirp~", Haidong Qingqiongtian flew to Hua Qingcheng and flew around her.
Hua Qingcheng took out a piece of cloth and tied the letter to Qiongtian's leg. Then she saw it fly quickly into the sky and disappear into the night sky.
"Qingcheng, what are you doing..." Situ Ye looked puzzled.
Thinking of the wave after wave of assassins who attacked the Eastern Palace while Mu Lige was giving birth, Hua Qingcheng's eyes shone fiercely as she said coldly, "Brother Li's plan of 'beating the mountain to scare the tiger' and 'borrowing the enemy's strength' is certainly good, but rather than relying on the Queen Mother's influence to slowly deal with them, it's better to cut off the source of the problem and put an end to it once and for all. Now that we have evidence against the virtuous king, of course we must take him down in one fell swoop. We can't miss this opportunity."
Anyone who dares to touch Hua Qingcheng will know how to write the word regret...
"Qingcheng, what do we need to do now?" Seeing that the original plan was disrupted, Situ Ye could only discuss with Hua Qingcheng again.
"Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. Keep an eye on these people, especially the virtuous king Nalan Junxue. Don't let her leave here before my aunt brings the troops to encircle and suppress her. Create some chaos if necessary. Anyway, we must keep her here."
"Okay." Situ Ye nodded, and at the same time ordered Ye Yi and others to disperse and continue secret surveillance.
Meanwhile, Haidong Qingqiongtian was still able to soar high into the pitch-black night. After leaving the barren mountains west of the city, it flew directly towards the General's Mansion east of the city.
“Knock knock knock~”
Feng Cailan, who was sleeping, suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the window, so she got up to check.
