N-A-A Chapter 75 Should we scare him again?
Chapter 75 Should we scare him again?
Late at night, the sleeping quarters of Guangxin Palace were completely quiet.
Li Yunrui was already fast asleep.
She had a great time today, ate a lot for dinner, and after taking a bath, she returned to her palace and fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Wu Feng slowly moved the long, slender leg that was draped over him and tiptoed off the bed, which was filled with a rich, warm fragrance.
He put on his clothes and looked back at the phoenix bed.
Li Yunrui lay on her side, the brocade quilt outlining her increasingly plump waistline, her beautiful face still bearing a satisfied smile in her sleep.
Wu Feng couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
Woman, even if you are pregnant now and have a talisman, you are no match for me!
He turned around, took a few steps to the door of the inner chamber of the bedchamber, and gently pushed it open.
In the outer room of the bedchamber, Chunmei had already gotten up from her small bed and was waiting quietly.
"I'm going to cultivate," Wu Feng said in a low voice.
Chunmei nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
After Wu Feng left the bedroom and gently closed the door, Chunmei glanced into the inner room to make sure Li Yunrui was sleeping soundly before returning to her small bed to continue sleeping.
Upon leaving the sleeping quarters, Wu Feng swayed and used the Flying Floss Light Smoke Technique. After a few shifts, he lightly leaped onto the roof of the sleeping quarters.
The night breeze was cool and felt very comfortable on my face.
He sat cross-legged in the center of the roof ridge, preparing to circulate his energy through the body.
But just then...
"Whoosh."
A very faint sound of wind breaking came from afar.
Wu Feng opened his eyes instantly and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
It's in the direction of Chang Le Palace.
The moonlight wasn't very bright, but he could still see clearly.
A somewhat blurry figure was rushing into Chang Le Palace at an extremely fast speed. The figure moved with agility and was clearly a person of high cultivation.
Wu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Based on the information we have now, it seems that after Emperor Qing awoke, he only contacted two people outside of Chang Le Palace.
One is Chen Pingping, and the other is the one who had Eunuch Hou secretly convey an imperial edict to Li Yunrui today.
However, judging from the contents of today's imperial edict... Emperor Qing is probably preparing to leave Chang Le Palace.
This is roughly the same as his and Li Yunrui's estimate.
Thinking of this, Wu Feng had an idea and looked at the makeup box in the system's inventory.
Should we... scare him again?
Will you scare him back to Chang Le Palace?
Before Wu Feng could think about it further...
"Whoosh!"
Another whooshing sound rang out.
This time, the message came from the direction of the front palace.
Wu Feng turned his head and saw a person dressed in armor flying down from the rooftops of the palaces, heading straight for the inner palace.
When the person got closer, Wu Feng could finally see who it was.
Yan Xiaoyi.
Yan Xiaoyi had obviously also spotted Wu Feng on the roof. In a few leaps, he arrived in front of Wu Feng and greeted him with a cupped-hand salute.
"Lord Xiao Wu."
"Commander Yan." Wu Feng nodded.
"Did you see anyone suspicious just now, Lord Xiao Wu?" Yan Xiaoyi asked seriously.
An eighth-rank assassin infiltrated the palace today to carry out an assassination attempt. As the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, he dared not rest all night and has been patrolling the palace the whole time.
Wu Feng pointed in the direction of Chang Le Palace: "Suspicious person... If you're talking about the one who just entered Chang Le Palace, he should be a ninth-rank official."
Upon hearing that "a suspicious person has entered Chang Le Palace," Yan Xiaoyi immediately prepared to rush over there.
But Wu Feng's second sentence made him stop in his tracks.
"Ninth rank?" Yan Xiaoyi's expression changed. "Could it be... Eunuch Hong?"
Wu Feng shook his head:
"It's too dark to see clearly. But besides Hong Sixiang, there should be two other ninth-rank officials guarding Chang Le Palace. Even if that person was an assassin, he definitely won't come out unscathed."
Yan Xiaoyi's heart skipped a beat.
There are actually two ninth-rank officials in Chang Le Palace?
The guards around His Majesty are indeed unfathomable.
"Commander Yan," Wu Feng suddenly spoke, pulling Yan Xiaoyi back from his thoughts, "His Highness and I will be setting off for Suzhou soon, and we probably won't be returning to the capital for a while. Do you... intend to stay in the capital and continue serving as the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards?"
Yan Xiaoyi's face showed surprise and confusion: "Your Highness is going to Suzhou? But Your Highness is now a regent minister, how can you leave the capital?"
Wu Feng looked in the direction of Chang Le Palace and lowered his voice: "Because that person has woken up... it's just that others don't know it yet."
"His Majesty has awakened?!" Yan Xiaoyi's face showed shock again.
"But Lord Xiao Wu," he still didn't understand, "His Majesty has woken up and is going to Suzhou with His Highness... what does that have to do with it?"
He knows too little.
Even if His Majesty wakes up, Princess, you don't need to leave the capital, do you?
Wu Feng gave him a meaningful look:
"Your Highness is going to do something extraordinary."
"So... while she's still in Kyoto and a regent, if you want to be transferred out of Kyoto, His Highness can arrange it for you tomorrow."
Yan Xiaoyi fell silent.
With his current strength and military achievements, he is indeed qualified to be transferred to a major camp in a border state as governor.
He was a powerful general with a bright future.
but……
The position of Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards is extremely important.
For Her Highness the Eldest Princess in particular, controlling the Imperial Guards was tantamount to controlling the safety of the palace.
Having thought this through, Yan Xiaoyi had made his decision. He took a deep breath and said, "This humble general... has no intention of transferring out of the Imperial Guard for the time being."
Wu Feng nodded and didn't try to persuade him further.
However, he knew in his heart that after he and Li Yunrui left the capital and Emperor Qing officially walked out of Changle Palace... Emperor Qing would likely transfer Yan Xiaoyi away from the Imperial Guard.
After all, Yan Xiaoyi is Li Yunrui's man.
During this period, Li Yunrui was a member of the imperial clan and a regent minister. He already had considerable power in the court and controlled the three major workshops and Qingyutang.
With Li Yunrui possessing such power, Yan Xiaoyi, who belongs to the military, will definitely be feared by Emperor Qing.
"Lord Xiao Wu, if there's nothing else, I'll go on patrol now," Yan Xiaoyi said, cupping his hands in greeting.
"Commander Yan, you've worked hard," Wu Feng said.
Yan Xiaoyi turned around and disappeared into the shadows of the palace complex in a few leaps.
He just left...
Two slender figures dressed in plain white clothes appeared silently beside Wu Feng.
They are Li Yunrui's sword-wielding maids, Shuying and Lingshuang.
Shuying whispered, "These past few days, someone has been approaching the palace maids of Guangxin Palace, trying to find out what's going on there from them."
Wu Feng smiled slightly. Nowadays, besides Emperor Qing and the Empress Dowager, only Chen Pingping in the palace can reach into the Guangxin Palace to know about the situation there.
"They didn't say anything, did they?" Wu Feng asked.
"No," Shuying said firmly. "The people in Guangxin Palace are all His Highness's confidants."
"That's good," Wu Feng said. "Be careful these next few days. We'll leave after the auction."
"Understood," Shuying and Ling Shuang replied in unison.
The two figures flashed and disappeared into the darkness once more.
Wu Feng was left alone on the rooftop again.
He looked back in the direction of Chang Le Palace, a wicked smile slowly spreading across his face.
Tremble, Emperor Qing!
