Then, Chen Qingfeng led Sang Wen into the courtyard.
"Young master, we just received a message."
"His Majesty has issued an edict ordering the Empress to go to Cangshan Mountain to pray for blessings."
Upon hearing the information brought by Sang Wen, Chen Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, appearing thoughtful.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled slightly and said:
"The Empress hasn't left Kunning Palace for many years."
"At this critical juncture, Emperor Qing actually sent her to Cangshan to pray for blessings."
"They're using the Empress as bait to try and catch fish!"
Sang Wen nodded and said:
"So many things have happened in the palace lately, and I imagine our Emperor is quite annoyed and determined to find the real culprit."
"But isn't what he's doing a bit too obvious?"
"Even I, a mere woman, know that this is a scam."
"I doubt it's that easy to lure fish into the hook."
To Sang Wen's surprise,
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Qingfeng suddenly looked at her.
"Sir?"
Sang Wen frowned, not understanding why Chen Qingfeng was looking at him with such a strange expression.
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and said:
"Sang Wen, make arrangements when you get back."
"Have the people from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion take action and kidnap the Empress."
As soon as Chen Qingfeng uttered these words, Sang Wen was immediately shocked and exclaimed in disbelief:
"Young master? Shall we kidnap the Empress?"
"Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
Earlier, Sang Wen had asked Chen Qingfeng if they should investigate the real culprit behind the Crown Prince and Empress's affair.
But Chen Qingfeng summed it up in one sentence.
At that time, Sang Wen had some suspicions, wondering if those two things were really arranged by Chen Qingfeng.
Now that Chen Qingfeng is going to kidnap the Empress, Sang Wen finds it even stranger.
They knew perfectly well that it was a dangerous situation set up by Emperor Qing.
Chen Qingfeng is still jumping in here?
Just as Sang Wen was lost in thought, Chen Qingfeng had already sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.
"Sang Wen, I'm planning to write a new story soon. Or... how about the same one as before?"
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, Sang Wen quickly snapped out of his daze.
Although she didn't know what Chen Qingfeng was doing.
But she was willing to do anything Chen Qingfeng asked her to do.
"Alright, young master, I'll go get some paper and pen right away."
As he spoke, Sang Wen went straight into the inner room, and when he came out, he was carrying paper, ink, brush and inkstone.
"The story I wrote this time is called 'Journey to the West'."
"It's a story about a monk who led three disciples on a journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures..."
"This opening..."
At this point, Chen Qingfeng paused slightly, then recited aloud:
"In the beginning, chaos reigned, heaven and earth were in turmoil, a vast and boundless expanse unseen by anyone. Since Pangu broke the primordial chaos, the distinction between the pure and the impure has been established..."
Upon hearing this, Sang Wen immediately began copying it down.
Xingqing Palace.
Princess Li Yunrui leaned against the sandalwood couch, her fingertips gently stroking the openwork patterns on the gilded incense burner.
Amidst the wisps of smoke, her red lips parted slightly:
"Is the Empress going to leave the palace to pray to Linglong for blessings?"
The maid knelt beside her and whispered:
"Yes."
"The imperial decree has been issued, and we will set off for the Qingmiao Temple in Cangshan in three days to pray for blessings."
Li Yunrui raised an eyebrow slightly.
"The matter of the harem is still unresolved."
"Our Emperor sent the Empress out of the palace to pray for blessings at this time, it seems he wants to use the Empress as bait!"
"With such an obvious tactic, will any fish even take the bait?" Zero thought.
While others might not know, Princess Li Yunrui herself was well aware of this.
After all, it was she who arranged the Empress's affairs.
Earlier, Chen Qingfeng came to Guangxin Palace and had a good talk with her.
In the end, Li Yunrui decided to take action against the Empress.
Of course, she only damaged the Empress's reputation here; she would never actually attempt to assassinate the Empress.
She didn't want to be a fish.
"It is clear that someone is manipulating things behind the Crown Prince scandal."
"Could it be him?"
"If that's the case, will he take the bait this time?"
"This is a perfect opportunity for revenge!"
Li Yunrui thought of Chen Qingfeng.
During their last meeting, she had already told Chen Qingfeng the truth about Taiping Villa.
However, Chen Qingfeng's performance was somewhat unexpected.
She had originally thought that Chen Qingfeng would be furious after learning the truth.
Who would have thought that Chen Qingfeng would be so frighteningly calm?
Of course, what Li Yunrui didn't know was that Chen Qingfeng already knew the truth while he was still in his mother's womb.
After thinking for a moment, she came to her senses and asked again:
"correct."
What has Chen Qingfeng been busy with lately?
The maid dared not conceal the truth and replied:
"Return to your highness."
"Besides preparing for the wedding, Chen Qingfeng frequented brothels and enjoyed listening to music."
"As for what he does in his own yard, our informants can't find out."
Upon hearing the maid's reply, Li Yunrui suddenly chuckled softly, her laughter as clear and melodious as a silver bell.
Upon seeing Li Yunrui suddenly laugh, the maid standing beside him had her pupils shrink in shock, and her breath almost stopped.
She knew her master all too well.
Especially when she laughs, she's even more terrifying!
Just as the maid was in a panic, Li Yunrui slowly extended her jade-like hand and lifted the maid's chin:
"Do you think... Chen Qingfeng would dare to abduct the Empress's carriage?"
·····Requesting 0 flowers····
"what?"
The maid was taken aback, her face filled with confusion and bewilderment. She quickly shook her head and said:
"This servant...does not know."
Li Yunrui withdrew his hand, his eyes filled with anticipation, and muttered to himself:
"If he doesn't go and rob, then things will be much less interesting!"
"Now that things have come to this, is it still necessary to hide the fact that you still enjoy listening to music in brothels?"
"Could it be that he actually likes it?"
Li Yunrui muttered to himself.
In the past, she might have been misled by Chen Qingfeng's behavior and thought he was just a playboy.
But ever since she met Chen Qingfeng...
Li Yunrui then realized that she had not only misjudged Chen Qingfeng, but had also been completely wrong about him.
……
The Fan residence, in a secluded courtyard.
Fan Xian was lying on the table, looking thoughtful.
At this moment, Teng Zijing climbed over the wall and came to his side.
"There's news."
"The Empress will depart for Cangshan Mountain to pray for blessings in three days."
