“The internal worries of Chu temporarily no longer exist for now.”
“I believe that Yuchi Tianqiong can be roped in.” As Zhou Shen spoke, he cupped his hands and bowed to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao nodded.
“Alright.”
“Then I’ll leave the matter of making contact with Yuchi Tianqiong to you. I’ll talk to him personally after 1 contact him.”
Zhou Shen was delighted.
“Yes, sir!”
Li Xiao discussed with everyone for a while before letting them leave.
When the room was quiet, he got up and walked to the window.
The moon was already hanging high outside the window.
This moon looked exactly the same as when he was in the Great Yan, but he felt that it was not as beautiful…
At this moment, Yue’er should have returned to Qingshi Town.
Was his wife thinking about him?
Daishi Village, Liu Mansion.
After Lin Xiaoyue finished washing up, she didn’t go to bed and walked to the window.
Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, a faint longing rose in her heart.
She didn’t know if her husband was successful and when he would return home.
These days, she could work to numb her longing and fill up her time as much as possible to avoid worrying and missing him who was far away in Chu.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of November.
The weather turned cold.
In the capital, the Imperial Consort’s chambers.
When she heard the news reported by the palace maid, her face was filled with anger.
“Humph, a mere slut who just entered the palace dares to disrespect me?!” The Imperial Consort angrily said as she slapped the table.
Then, she quickly suppressed the anger in her heart.
“Bring me a brush and ink.” He said.
The emperor had been possessed by some kind of evil spirit recently. He actually disregarded his health and frequently visited the harem.
Especially Yu, who had just entered the palace and looked a little similar to Consort Shu, she was favored.
Now, she even reached the point where she did not give her face and went against her wishes.
Humph! What kind of storm could a commoner girl without a mother’s clan cause?
Missing Consort Shu? Alright, she would fulfill his wish…
The pen and ink were sent over, and the Imperial Consort quickly wrote a letter.
After she finished writing, she handed the letter to the palace maid.
“Hurry up and send the letter to His Highness.” She instructed.
“Yes.”
After the palace maid took the letter and left, a sinister smile appeared on her face.
Three days later.
The Anyang Residence.
Prince Anyang opened the letter and saw the contents of the imperial consort’s letter. He clenched his fist and punched the table.
Ridiculous!
Not only was father neglecting the government, but he was also visiting the harem every day. He even allowed a lowly consort to bully his mother.
His eyes darkened, and Prince Anyang’s heart quickly returned.
Then, he looked at the door.
“Come in.” He said in a deep voice.
He seemed to understand what the Imperial Advisor had said earlier.
His father’s actions were so absurd. His body probably wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.
The Imperial Advisor said that he would return to the capital in half a month. Would that be the time?
No, for safety reasons, he had to make some preparations.
When the housekeeper heard His Highness’ voice, he pushed open the door and walked in.
“Your Highness.” He bowed to Prince Anyang.
Prince Anyang nodded.
“Arrange for the Wu clan to enter the capital.” He said.
His mother had already planned with him. Ever since he recruited Li Xiao and promised to send Consort Shu out of the palace, he had already made such preparations.
He found a woman who looked 80% similar to Consort Shu from the common people.
After training, even this woman’s demeanor was similar to Consort Shu’s.
In the past, he did not believe what his mother said. His father had strong feelings for Consort Shu. Now, he believed it.
If Yu was really favored by the emperor because she was similar to Consort Shu, then Wu would definitely be able to replace her.
“Yes!” The housekeeper bowed and replied.
He turned around and left.
Prince Anyang took the letter and stared at it for a long time.
At the same time.
The construction of the Liu Industrial Park had officially started.
Two hundred workers were busy at the construction site, and there was even a foreman commanding them.
The wasteland was bustling with activity.
Liu Manor.
Lin Xiaoyue was reading the accounts in the study when Li Jie suddenly came to ask for an audience.
“Let Mr. Li in.” Lin Xiaoyue quickly said.
The expansion of the eatery had been halted, but there were too many branches. Li Jie spent most of his time in Nan’an County.
The servants in the study had just left when Li Jie came in.
“Greetings, County Head!” Li Jie stepped forward and cupped his hands at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “Mr. Li, there’s no need to be so polite. Sit down and talk.” As she spoke, she looked at the chair beside her..
