Chapter 345: Torture, small knife
Xiao Tianyao seems to be arranging all the things in the capital right now. He gave orders to Su Cha and Liu Bai one by one. The two of them had enough on their hands, but… …
Xiao Tianyao didn’t let them go. Su Cha just finished looking the matter regarding Mo Yuer, but now, it was the Ci Entang: “Did you find out who pushed the matter about Ci Entang to Imperial Concubine Zhou?”
Xiao Tianyao handed this matter to Su Cha. But when Su Cha heard Xiao Tianyao’s question, he acted like a dead.
Xiao Tianyao didn’t let Su Cha go, he asked: “What? Did you forget to check or not?”
“I can’t find it out.” Forgetting was easy, but it happened that he checked things out. However, the result was nothing.
Su Cha said with a depressed looked in the face: “Nothing looks abnormal, no one forced her behind the scene. Everything seems like a coincidence.”
But, that’s what strange about it!
How could the incident on the court coincidentally fall in the hands of Imperial Concubine Zhou?
Everyone knows that the person who was the most qualified to take over the Ci Entang is no other than the Empress. So, if there was no proposal of the palace ministers and the empress, how can it just fall to Imperial Concubine Zhou? Unless… …
“I suspect that Imperial Concubine Zhou or Third Prince Xiao Zian made a special arrangement. Third Prince’s body now has recovered, he can join the matter in the court now. If Imperial Concubine Zhou handle the matter of Ci Entang, and the people’s view change about it, it will extremely beneficial to the Third Prince.” To have this kind of inference was not unexpected. After all, the palace ministers allowed Imperial Concubine Zhou to handle this matter about the Ci Entang.
Not to mention, not only Su Cha, but even the emperor thinks the same. He was thinking that Imperial Concubine Zhou deliberately using this matter so that Third Prince Xiao Zian can smoothly enter the people’s heart, but… …
When they checked this matter, they couldn’t find any lead of connection. They don’t know if Imperial Concubine Zhou was hiding her actions deeply, or she was pushed in this pit.
Xiao Tianyao pondered for a moment, then said: “This is not Imperial Concubine Zhou’s doing, she is not so stupid.” The purpose was too obvious, other people can see it in a glance.
“It is not impossible that she deliberately doing this.” Su Cha can’t think of anyone else other than Imperial Concubine Zhou.
Xiao Tianyao shook his head but didn’t explain. He only said: “You check the harem, this matter about Imperial Concubine Zhou must be related to a woman in the harem.”
“I will definitely check out this matter.” The people behind the scenes of Ci Entang were so deeply hidden that they failed to find it out, so Su Cha was uneasy.
Aside from the things about Ci Entang, the only things left were Lin Furen and Princess Nannuo Yao. This matter was assigned by Xiao Tianyao to the shadow guards, so Su Cha and Liu Bai don’t need to take care of this. Xiao Tianyao just ordered Su Cha to maintain contact to the Hua Family of the Central Empire, for them to pick up the baby as soon as possible.
The child was rescued by Lin Chujiu. As long as the Hua Family appeared in the capital, this matter will definitely be revealed. At that moment, Lin Chujiu will have another protection.
Everything Xiao Tianyao said tonight was related to Lin Chujiu. Every decision he made was for Lin Chujiu’s safety.
With this, Su Cha couldn’t help but say: “Tianyao, didn’t you say you wanted Wangfei to grow up and learn how to deal with the sudden crisis? If you will fix everything for her, what crisis will she still be facing?”
“She should have the ability to cope up with a sudden danger, but it doesn’t mean benwang knowing there is danger ahead, will not make arrangements in advance.” Xiao Tianyao said without hesitation.
Xiao Tianyao said rationally, but Su Cha couldn’t believe it: “I’ve never seen you so nervous before.”
“Benwang is not nervous now.” He was just pushing away the possible danger.
“… …” Su Cha was speechless.
Seeing the time not too early, Liu Bai pulled Su Cha’s clothes and said: “The hour is late, we should go back now, let’s not delay Wangye and Wangfei’s rest.”
Liu Bai has no other meaning, but his last words made Xiao Tianyao frown his eyebrows.
Knowing that Lin Chujiu doesn’t wait for him before she rests, Xiao Tianyao thinks that Liu Bai deliberately said those word.
“Ha Ha Ha… …” Su Cha laughed so bad, this Liu Bai’s tongue was really like a small knife: “You are right, let’s not delay Wangye and Wangfei’s rest. Wangye will leave soon in an expedition, so they must have a lot to say to each other.”
Su Cha also tried to be a small knife, making Xiao Tianyao speechless.
The coldness around Xiao Tianyao’s body increased, his eyes that swept over Su Cha and Liu Bai, were like a sharp knife.
Liu Bai was stunned, Su Cha, on the other hand, responded quickly and pulled Liu Bai to rush outside… …

Xiao Tianyao sat alone in the study room for a long time, he only stood up when the table lamp burned out.
Outside the door, the guards and the shadow guards not only remained firm but also stayed silent.
Every day at this hour, Xiao Tianyao doesn’t notice anything before. But now, he suddenly felt that Xiao Wangfu was too quiet.
Deadly quiet, there was no trace of liveliness.
When he got out, he turned left and go all the way through the backyard, where Lin Chujiu lived.
This place’s appearance looked very different. When Lin Chujiu hasn’t lived here, this place was almost like a ruin. Otherwise, the yard in front will not only be a lawn.
Xiao Tianyao never came here before, but ever since Lin Chuji lived here, he almost came every night.
Xiao Tianyao remained standing outside, he didn’t get inside. After he looked at it, he turned around and walked back.
*
The moment Xiao Tianyao appeared, a shadow guard fell in a dilemma, in fear that Xiao Tianyao would try to come inside again.
His task to stop their Wangye wasn’t easy at all. Even if their Wangye didn’t punish him, he was still very scared!
“It’s great Wangye didn’t come inside.” Several shadow guards felt relieved.
It wasn’t easy to be caught in the middle.
“Ai ya, Wangye really looks pitiful. Did you see Wangye’s back? His back looks very lonely, making people wanted to cry.” The youngest shadow guard said. He just joined in, so he hasn’t seen Xiao Tianyao’s coldness.
When the other shadow guards heard his words, their eyes widen in shocked: “Which eye of yours has seen Wangye’s shadow lonely? His back is as tall as always.”
A few shadow guards had arguments, adding a bit of fun to the silent night. Unfortunately, no one heard it aside from them.
*
When Lin Chujiu got up in the morning, the four maidservants served her as usual, it’s just… …
When Lin Chujiu preparing to read a book on the swing, a shadow guard said to her: “Wangfei, Wangye came over last night, but didn’t enter the yard. Wangye only looked at the entrance and left.”
The shadow guard didn’t mean anything else. He simply thought that their Wangye was pitiful.
The entire Xiao Wangfu belong to their Wangye. When was their Wangye ever treated so cold like this? Their Wangfei was so cruel.
Lin Chujiu’s hand that was holding the book tighten, but she nonchalantly said: “Really?”
Her casual tone showed that she doesn’t care about Xiao Tianyao, but only she, herself knew that she was actually upset… …
Xiao Tianyao’s actions these past two days really pissed her off.
Lin Chujiu doesn’t know how to explain it. However, every time she got disappointed to Xiao Tianyao, he will press her harder and will not give her a chance to breathe. But when she was ready to give him a chance, Xiao Tianyao will just suddenly let it go.
Again, he’s so good in torturing people… …
