Bu Xun was stunned when he didn't get a reply. He looked pensive and sighed as he stared at Huyan Wuhen's back. He seemed to understand Huyan Wuhen's difficulties.
He didn't stay for long. He didn't even take the time to drink a cup of tea. He called for his entourage and left in a hurry.
Bu Xun's return to the palace made Emperor Qi's Vast Cloud Map feel relieved.
After learning about Huyan Wuhen's secret battle plan, he realized that Huyan Wuhen didn't intend to defy the decree but had another plan to suppress the rebellion. His face finally relaxed.
"This in-law of mine not only hid it from the entire Imperial Court, but he also hid it from me. He hid it from everyone. But what Great General said is right. Your office is indeed responsible. The communication center was breached and military secrets could be leaked at any time. How can he be at ease? "Vast Cloud Map reprimanded Bu Xun.
Bu Xun smiled bitterly. He couldn't blame Huyan Wuhen or His Majesty. He was the only one to blame. He immediately admitted his mistake, "It's this old servant's fault."
"In order to cooperate with Great General in suppressing the rebellion, it seems that I will have to suffer for a period of time and continue acting for Great General under pressure." Vast Cloud Map's tone relaxed.
However, his happiness didn't last long. Tang Yi, who was disguised as a man, came to serve as Kang He's attendant.
Kang He was the only one who knew about Xuan Wei's secret plan. He received Xuan Wei's secret order to cooperate with Tang Yi.
He only knew to cooperate with Tang Yi. He didn't know the specifics.
Kang He didn't want to tell Vast Cloud Map in order to keep it a secret. But he had no choice. Tang Yi couldn't see Vast Cloud Map in public or in secret. Without a channel, it would be difficult to even enter the palace.
Hearing that Kang He brought Xuan Wei's secret envoy, Vast Cloud Map naturally had to meet him.
Seeing Vast Cloud Map, Tang Yi immediately said to Kang He, "Lord Kang, please excuse us."
Kang He cupped his hands and left.
At this time, Tang Yi took out Xuan Wei's secret letter.
Bu Xun checked the letter first. His eyelids twitched when he saw the contents. After confirming that there were no problems, he passed the letter to Vast Cloud Map.
After reading the contents of the letter, Vast Cloud Diagram's face darkened, and two words jumped out of his mouth. "Evil creature!"
He realized that none of his sons were easy to deal with. The eldest son of the family revolted and was sent to Wei Country to marry into the Wei Family. Yet, he actually did something like poisoning at this time. Could it be that he didn't know the purpose of marrying into the Wei Family?
Tang Yi cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, if it weren't for the elders of my sect suppressing the poison, he wouldn't have made it here alive. The situation is very urgent now, and we can only protect his heart meridian for the time being. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for another day or two. Your Majesty, please help him as soon as possible, or it will be too late."
Vastcloud Diagram said, "I understand Xuan Wei's feelings. The two countries have formed an alliance to fight against the enemy. Moreover, this was caused by my unfilial son, so I naturally have to help him. It's just that … that Mister Wu Xin has a strange temperament and is different from ordinary people. I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law might not be able to help even if she goes to beg him. "
Tang Yi pleaded, "Now that things have come to this, whether it's useful or not, Your Majesty, Emperor Qi has to try."
She didn't point out that it was someone who specifically pointed out the direction for help. First of all, there was no need to say this. Second, she was worried that it would cause suspicion on this side and lead to more complications. No matter what happened, it wouldn't be too late to save the person first. This was also the main task of her trip.
Vastcloud Diagram agreed and immediately said to Bu Xun, "Invite Princess Ying to the palace immediately."
Bu Xun was about to accept the order, but Tang Yi interrupted, "Your Majesty, before we came, my husband repeatedly told us to keep it a secret. This matter shouldn't be known by too many people. It's best to carry it out in secret, otherwise, there might be trouble!"
Vastcloud Diagram was silent for a moment and nodded slightly. He understood what she meant. She was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would try to kill Ximen Qingkong again after hearing the news. Vastcloud Diagram said to Bu Xun, "You heard it all. Go to King Ying's Mansion in the name of visiting Haozhen."
"Yes!" Bu Xun replied.
Vastcloud Diagram gave Bu Xun another look and said, "Go back and ask Imperial Consort Jing on Zhen's behalf. Ask her how she taught her son. Tell her to keep in touch with Haocheng often and order him not to act rashly."
Bu Xun had followed him for many years and understood his meaning with just a look. He immediately replied, "Your Majesty, the Prince is a hot-blooded man. This old servant will say something unpleasant. Everyone knows about the matter between Xuan Wei and Ximen Qingkong. The Prince is involved in it, so you can imagine how he feels. It's understandable for a youngster to be impulsive."
Vastcloud Diagram said coldly, "Can you kill people as you please just because you understand?"
The two of them echoed each other. Tang Yi understood. Vastcloud Diagram was accusing Xuan Wei of being in the wrong first. He didn't want anything to happen to his son over at Weiguo. These words were purposely said for her to hear.
Tang Yi listened quietly and didn't say anything.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Vastcloud Diagram seemed to be curious. He suddenly changed the topic and asked, "The Headmaster of the Shangqing Sect, Tang Yi, are you the ex-wife of Niu Youdao?"
This made Tang Yi a little embarrassed. She didn't want to face this kind of question the most. However, she had a favor to ask, so she could only bite the bullet and reply, "Yes!"
Vastcloud Diagram couldn't help but seriously look up and down at Tang Yi's appearance. He found that she was indeed a great beauty.
He also didn't expect that he would meet Niu Youdao's ex-wife one day. He asked, "What do you think of Niu Youdao?"
Tang Yi pursed the corner of her mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to mention the past again."
Vastcloud Diagram waved his hand and said, "I don't mean anything else. I'm just a little curious. Niu Youdao is indeed a capable man. He came out empty-handed and supported Shang Chaozong all the way until now. The sects around him all benefited from it. With his ability, it shouldn't be difficult for him to support the Shangqing Sect. Did the Shanghai Sect not need such a talent at that time?"
Tang Yi hastily said, "It was the Shanghai Sect who had eyes but failed to see."
Vastcloud Diagram didn't seem to agree. "It's rumored that Niu Youdao stayed in the Shangqing Sect for many years. I don't believe that you didn't notice his ability at all. Even if he was under house arrest. "
This question hit the key point. Thinking of this, Tang Yi was also puzzled. After leaving the Shanghai Sect, Niu Youdao was really good at stirring up trouble. But the strange thing was that during the years when he was in the Shanghai Sect, Niu Youdao was as obedient as anything else. He looked like a loafer waiting to die, which made people look down on him.
She also blamed herself. During those years, she didn't see Niu Youdao more than a few times. They didn't even talk much. She basically didn't know anything about him. She knew almost nothing about Niu Youdao's personality. Even if she knew a little about him, it wouldn't be until later.
But at that time, who could have known that a country boy born in the mountains could have any knowledge? Who could have thought that he was a man with a bright mind?
As a result, as soon as he was released from the mountain, he seemed to have changed into a different person. He made waves all the way and now became an unattainable existence in the Shanghai Sect.
Not to mention her, after that, many people in the Shanghai Sect were puzzled. Since Niu Youdao was so ambitious, why didn't he fight for it when he was in the Shangqing Sect? Why did he fight after leaving the Shangqing Sect? Could the danger in the outside world be less than that of the Shangqing Sect at that time?
They couldn't figure it out. What they didn't know was that Niu Youdao didn't know anything at that time. At that time, he didn't want to fight for it. He just wanted to protect himself. After he followed Shang Chaozong, he was also ready to leave Shang Chaozong. It was Yuan Gang who dragged him into the muddy water of Shang Chaozong. He fought for the sake of loyalty!
At this moment, Tang Yi could only say dully, "Your Majesty, the reason is very complicated. It's hard to explain."
Haoyun Tu was purely curious because he saw her. There was indeed no other meaning. He sighed, "A day as husband and wife means a hundred days of love. You shouldn't have publicly divorced him. It's a pity. Otherwise, there would be something to tie him up. Things like reputation may not be of much use, but it can make him unable to get away! "
Speaking of this, there was no need to mention how awkward Tang Yi's heart was. She and Niu Youdao actually didn't have any intimate relations, but outsiders all took it for granted. They had been husband and wife for many years and had already gone through the wedding ceremony … This was something that a woman like her couldn't explain. Did the dignified Sect Leader of the High Qing Sect have to emphasize that she was a virgin?
What made her feel even more wronged was that she didn't want to divorce him. It was Niu Youdao who insisted on drawing a clear line between him and the Shangqing Sect. It was Niu Youdao who forced her to speak out publicly.
"Your Majesty, it's more important to save him." Tang Yi didn't want to talk about that matter anymore. The topic returned to the main topic.
Haoyun Tu chuckled, "That's true. He is now in the Saint Realm. It's not certain whether he can come back alive. It's meaningless to talk about this." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled Bu Xun to make arrangements.
After Tang Yi and Bu Xun left, Haoyun Tu's face tensed up again. Hao Cheng's actions still enraged him!
He still didn't know what Hao Cheng had experienced. He didn't know that Hao Cheng saw Xuan Wei and Ximen Qingkong having sex. Later, he sent a message to reprimand Hao Cheng. After he received Hao Cheng's reply, Haoyun Tu finally knew about his son's grievance.
After Noble Consort Jing knew about it, she burst into tears. Haoyun Tu promised her that he would bring his son back after the war was over. This was all in the future …
Bu Xun's sudden visit to King Ying's Mansion on behalf of His Majesty made Haozhen feel flattered.
Haozhen was poisoned and his vitality was greatly damaged. If it was an ordinary person, he would have to lie in bed for a long time to recover. However, there were many cultivators by his side who were helping him recuperate. In addition to spirit pills and miraculous medicines, his body had recovered by more than half. He could get out of bed and walk around even though his body was still a little weak.
After expressing His Majesty's concern, Bu Xun asked Haozhen to dismiss his attendants. Then, he told Haozhen the purpose of his visit.
Haozhen immediately called Shao Liu-er over. Shao Liu-er looked like she was in a dilemma. However, the Emperor had personally given the order. How could she refuse? With her current status, she couldn't refuse.
The person who guided Xuan Wei obviously knew this. That was why he didn't ask Shao Liu-er directly. Instead, he asked Emperor Qi to ask Shao Liu-er.
Both Haozhen and Shao Liu-er couldn't refuse. They could only agree.
After Bu Xun left, Shao Liu-er asked in surprise, "Prince, why did His Majesty ask me to beg Mister Wuxin?"
Haozhen sighed, "I'm afraid he saw you did it before, so he wants you to try again. Liu-er, I'm afraid you have to suffer again this time. However, we have no choice. We have to obey Father's order. Since there's no other way, just go. Do what you can and try. If it really doesn't work, you can't be blamed. "
The last sentence was meaningful. He wanted his wife to control herself. To put it bluntly, he wanted her to not be too hard on herself.
However, Shao Liu-er wasn't worried about this. As she asked, why did Emperor Qi want her to go?
This was the so-called guilty conscience. She suspected that Emperor Qi's Haoyun Tu knew something. Did he know about the relationship between her and Wuxin? With Emperor Qi's influence and intelligence network, it wasn't impossible.
She was very nervous, but she had to obey. She asked the servants to prepare a carriage and a gift. She went to Wuxin's residence in the name of expressing her gratitude.
It was still Guo Man who opened the door. She told Wuxin about the purpose of their visit. Wuxin knew that they were here to express her gratitude, so she refused.
However, under Shao Liu-er's coaxing and pestering, Wuxin couldn't hold back. The door was finally opened for her.
