"I naturally understand this, but the late emperor gave Xia City to our Xu family to guard, so there is no reason to leave it to others.”Xu Jinghua's hand that was holding the pen trembled slightly, but her words were very firm.
"Then do you want to clear your father's name?”Chu Wu You seemed to say it unintentionally, but in fact, a huge storm had already set off in her heart. Meanwhile, Xu Jinghua kept guessing who this calm and composed woman with an extraordinary bearing was.
Chu Wu You seemed to have seen through her doubts and said with a faint smile,""You will know who I am when the time comes.”
"Of course, I want to help my father clear his name, but how can I fight against the Left Prime Minister? It's just like hitting a rock with an egg.”Xu Jinghua pursed her lips in disappointment.
"Sure, this is very simple. Write a letter to your father and tell him that as long as he works with us, it will be fine.”After Chu Wuyou finished speaking, she whistled and a beautiful white pigeon flew over from the distance. This white pigeon was completely white and had no stray feathers. Its small mouth was red like fire. The white pigeon flapped its wings and landed on Chu Wuyou's palm. It even pecked her palm lightly, as if it was exchanging pleasantries. This was a gift from Li Ge to Chu Wuyou to congratulate her on her ascension. It was used to communicate with each other.
"It's called Nan Li. Let it deliver this letter to home.”Chu Wuyou patted Nan Li's head and whispered a few words. She tied the letter to Nan Li's leg and said,""Go ahead."
The white pigeon drew a beautiful arc in the air and disappeared in an instant.
Xu Jinghua was a little stunned as she muttered,""What a treasure."
This type of white pigeon seemed ordinary, but Li Ge had spent three years training it. No matter what the conditions were, it would deliver the letter safely. Moreover, it was extremely human and was not an ordinary thing.
Qing Huan also saw Nan Li's arrival and hissed. The first time it saw Nan Li, Qing Huan thought it was its own food. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Li Ge stuffed a stone into his mouth. As time went by, Qing Huan had almost given up on the thought of it, but seeing Nan Li again today, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
Chu Wuyou naturally did not let Qing Huan's expression go. However, Qing Huan still had something important to do. She wanted to send him to inform the High Priest. Chu Wu You secretly stuffed a small note into Qing Huan's mouth from a place where Xu Jinghua could not see. There was only one sentence on the note: "Outside the city, come quickly."
As the sun set, the birds returned to their nests. The trees rustled in the breeze, like the song of a shepherd boy from afar. The cicadas were chirping and the frogs were chirping. There was the fragrance of rice in the air. The color of the sky was reflected in the water. The sunset and lone ducks flew together. The autumn water was the same color as the sky. In this season, the fragrance floated and it was beautiful. It seemed that the south had completely recovered from the flood. Chu Wuyou also heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Fortunately, her people did not suffer much.
Chu Wu You caught a few fish and started a bonfire. The light of the fire reflected the woman's beautiful face. In the flickering light of the fire, there was an indescribable beauty. Xu Jinghua had been sitting there quietly the entire time. Her body was still a little weak after being detoxified. After sitting for a while, she began to show signs of fatigue. Xu Jinghua did not have much of an appetite. After eating a few mouthfuls, she dozed off. Light danced in the air, and the woman fell into a deep dream. However, her brows were tightly knitted, and tears seemed to fall from the corners of her eyes.
"You've been tired for a day. Eat some lotus fruits to recuperate.”The man's face was covered in dust, but his eyes were still bright like the stars in the night sky.
"Where did you go? You disappeared when she woke up?”Chu Wuyou took the lotus fruit and asked.
"I investigated some things." Ming Yi said calmly. Those men in black were really not simple. They had even dragged Promise into it. In order to stop him from returning to the country, they even resorted to such despicable means as assassination. It was really embarrassing for Xi Zhao.
"Thank you for the antidote today." Chu Wu You peeled off the tender yellow skin of the lotus fruit. Inside was the white and tender sac meat. She threw it into her mouth. The sweet saliva made her feel less tired.
"Any ideas?" Ming Yi did not accept Chu Wuyou's gratitude and glanced at Xu Jinghua, who was sleeping soundly.
"Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed." Chu Wu You smiled as she spoke. Her white teeth lit up Ming Yi's eyes in the pitch-black night sky, so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off him.
Ming Yi knew that she would say this. Her wariness towards him did not dissipate even a little because of his initiative to show goodwill, so she did not take it to heart. She casually threw the remaining lotus fruit to Chu Wuyou and disappeared without a trace.
Chu Wu You looked at the lotus fruit in her arms. There seemed to be a residual warmth between that person's fingers, like a fire that wanted to burn her. Qing Huan hissed as she climbed onto Chu Wuyou's arm. Chu Wuyou patted her little head and smiled,""It's been hard on you. Eat some lotus fruits to nourish yourself.”Then, he threw the fruit into Qing Huan's mouth. Qing Huan swallowed it and burped loudly.
When the sky was slightly bright, Chu Wuyou was woken up by the sound of water flowing. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw the High Priest washing up by the stream. The High Priest tidied up his clothes and said,"You're awake."”
Chu Wu You nodded and asked,"When did you come?"”
"I've only been here for a while, and now the whole city is under martial law. If it wasn't for Qing Huan, I wouldn't have been able to come out so easily.”The High Priest rubbed Qing Huan's little head and put something into its mouth, but Qing Huan was overjoyed.
Qing Huan must have gone to scare people again. Although the people of Xia City had been deceived by the Left Prime Minister, they were still her people, the people of Beiming. This kind of intimidation really didn't put her, the Emperor, in their eyes.
The High Priest glanced at Xu Jinghua, who was still in deep sleep, and a glint flashed across his eyes as he said,""You have an idea?"
"Of course, I never fight unprepared battles. This time, the Left Prime Minister won't be able to escape even if he has wings.”Chu Wu smiled and said, the confidence between his brows could not be concealed.
She tidied up her clothes and woke Xu Jinghua up. The three of them ate some fish and began to approach Xia City. Not far away from Xia City's city gate tower, there was a woman hanging on the city gate tower. Xu Jinghua looked at it and said,""This is the Left Prime Minister's evil plan. Don't worry, my father already knows that I've escaped.”
The High Priestess looked at Xu Jinghua and used her eyes to show her approval. Not bad, you have guts.
Chu Wu You also looked at the woman in front of her. She had the elegance of a scholar, but also the heroic spirit that did not lose to a man. She was very relieved to hand Xia City over to her.# Review: hch471000 Time:102920186: 03PM #
