Hong Fu revealed a solemn expression and said,""Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will keep an eye on this zither player and try to find out where Gao Lianhu is before the Yuwen clan finds her.”
Yang Guang shook his head and said," Don't alert the enemy. I still want to use this opportunity to severely injure the Yuwen clan. This Gao Lianhu is an excellent bait."”
Hong Fu's eyes lit up and he said briskly,"I know what to do."”
"It's good that you understand."
After Hong Fu left, Yang Guang wrote down several important parts of the original work on the roll of paper to prevent himself from missing them.
After memorizing it, Yang Guang looked at it again and nodded in satisfaction. He called out softly,"Shadow Demon."
Candle flames flashed, and the Four Shadow Demons appeared in the hall in the next second.
"Other than the contents of Hong Fu's report, do you have anything else to add?”
The Four Shadow Demons looked at each other. Mei Jian stepped forward and said,""Your Majesty, Li Shi Min's residence was also attacked last night. The assassins came from the Supreme Court.”
"Supreme Court?"
Yang Guang's heart skipped a beat as he secretly noted this matter down.
Mei Jian continued," Originally, the assassins had occupied the upper hand, but they were all killed by a young woman who suddenly appeared.”
"Oh? Was Li Xiu Ning here too? Interesting. The Jiang Capital was getting more and more lively.”
Yang Guang's lips curled up, but his eyes flashed with a cold light.
Feng Luan Palace
Xiao Yao's footsteps were unsteady as she stood in the palace. Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and her emerald green dress had been torn to shreds. Her collar was half-open, and her white inner robe was stained with blood. It was unknown whether it was soaked in blood or sweat, but a large part of her smooth and jade-like skin could be seen.
At this moment, there was no trace of her usual calm and wisdom. Her beautiful face was filled with confusion and panic.
Seeing Xiao Meiniang walk out from behind the screen, Xiao Yao finally exhausted her last bit of strength and fell forward.
"Yao 'er!"
Xiao Meiniang turned pale with fright and quickly used her qinggong to get close to Xiao Yao, pulling her into her arms.
At this moment, she realized that Xiao Yao's clothes had been dyed black by blood. She gently tore open her clothes and couldn't help but scream.
A dark red palm print was clearly imprinted on Xiao Yao's back. Compared to her fair and smooth skin, it looked even more ferocious and terrifying.
After all, Xiao Meiniang was not an ordinary person. She quickly calmed down and asked,""Yao 'er, who beat you up like this?”
" I'm fine," Xiao Yao said reluctantly." I just suffered some internal injuries. I've already taken three Dew Pills. I'll recover after resting for a while."”
Xiao Meiniang heaved a sigh of relief and continued to ask,"What exactly happened?"
Xiao Yao was stunned at first, then she threw herself into Xiao Meiniang's arms and cried,""Yuwen clan…Last night, in order to snatch the account book, Yuwen clan led a large number of experts to sneak attack the main residence. Father was severely injured by them and is still unconscious.”
"What?!"
Xiao Meiniang forced herself to calm down." Tell me in detail. Why did the Yuwen clan suddenly attack? Tell me from the beginning."”
Xiao Yao took a deep breath and told him about the canal corruption case, Ma Shumou, account books, and other matters.
Xiao Meiniang's eyes flashed coldly. She clenched her fists and said coldly,""Yuwen Huaji actually dared to do this, bengong will make him pay back double!”
" Aunt, what should we do now?" Xiao Yao cried." I'm seriously injured and weak, and my father is in a coma. All the businesses in the capital have been destroyed. There's no one in the clan who can take charge of the situation."”
Xiao Meiniang looked at Xiao Yao's beautiful face and suddenly said,""Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your body?”
"I've taken the Dew Pill," Xiao Yao said weakly,"and I'll be able to recover very quickly." However, he still needed to recuperate from his internal injuries, so he was unable to mobilize his Genuine Qi or deal with urgent matters for the time being.”
Xiao Meiniang nodded." That's enough. Go to the warm pavilion and take a bath. I'll use your identity to take charge of the situation." Hmph, this time, bengong will make Yuwen clan pay a painful price!”
Xiao Cong was unconscious, Xiao Yao was heavily injured, and the Xiao clan suffered heavy losses. All of this completely infuriated Xiao Meiniang.
"Aunty used my identity to leave the palace?" Xiao Yao asked in shock. Then in this palace…"
"That's right, after Bengong leaves, you will play the role of the Empress.”
"Ah! This…How can this be!"
The corners of Xiao Meiniang's lips curled up slightly as she said lightly,""Why not?" The tone of this sentence was melodious and full of youthful vitality. It was exactly the same as Xiao Yao's accent.
Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Meiniang and was surprised to find that her aunt's skin was smooth and translucent. There were no signs of aging. In fact, her aunt's skin was even better than hers.
Their faces were 90% similar. If they changed their hairstyles, it would be impossible to tell if they were real or fake.
Xiao Meiniang didn't give Xiao Yao a chance to refute and directly said,""This matter is settled. After you're done bathing, say that you're not feeling well and want to recuperate. That way, no one will disturb you.”
Xiao Yao still felt that something was wrong, but she knew that she couldn't find a better solution now. After all, Xiao Meiniang was more than ten years older than her. Be it in terms of experience or wisdom, she was far above her. It was the best choice for Xiao Meiniang to clean up the mess.
night falls
After Yang Guang finished his meal, he returned to Zhengyang Hall to continue reading the memorials.
Cao Zhengying walked to Yang Guang and handed him a letter."Your Majesty, this is a secret letter from the Golden Snake Guards.”
Yang Guang immediately opened the letter and saw the words written on it: "Gao Lianhu will go to Xiao Xiang Pavilion tomorrow night to redeem Young Zither Master. The Golden Snake Guards have already laid an ambush.”
"Tomorrow night?"
Yang Guang's eyes revealed a cold look as he casually threw the letter into the brazier beside him.
"Your Majesty, it's late. Should we arrange for the Empress to sleep with us?" Cao Zhengying bowed again.”
Yang Guang looked at the few memorials left on the table and nodded,"Zhen is also tired, you can go.”
"Tonight, it should be the Empress's turn to sleep, but Feng Luan Palace sent word that the Empress is not feeling well and wants to recuperate." This servant then told the Imperial Noble Consort to prepare to receive the Emperor.”
Yang Guang was about to agree when he suddenly remembered that Xiao Yao had gone to Feng Luan Palace today. He thought to himself that the Empress probably already knew about Xiao Cong's serious injuries and coma. At this moment, it was probably not because she was feeling unwell but because she was upset.
Thinking of this, Yang Guang couldn't help but feel a little heartache. He said,""Let the imperial noble consort rest early. Zhen will accompany the empress tonight.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720192:31PM
