After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 296 Qi Wushuang Deals with Chu Yuyan's Family Affairs

After Mu Yili left, Ye Wuwei called Lei Dahong in.

"I have a very dangerous mission I would like to assign to you. Would you be willing to take it?"

"As you command."

"Mu Yili just came to me to discuss cooperation. She is willing to secretly return to Nanling to persuade her uncle and others to cooperate with the imperial army.

I will send someone to stay with her and serve as her liaison with the court.

I want you to be the contact.

I gave Mu Yili poison, so don't worry about her betraying you. However, Nanling is very dangerous now."

"I am willing to accept this task."

"Well, I'll teach you some skills on disguise and life-saving later."

The reason why Ye Wuwei arranged for Lei Dahong to go to Nanling was not only because Lei Dahong was a trustworthy person, but also because Lei Dahong performed very well when he accompanied him to Nancheng last time and had the ability to complete the task independently.

……

Because he had to teach Lei Dahong life-saving skills, Ye Wuwei returned to the palace at midnight that night.

Qi Wushuang was waiting for Ye Wuwei without exception.

"Is there something else going on?"

"It's something."

Ye Wuwei told him in detail about Mu Yili's discussion with him about cooperation today.

"With Mu Yili's uncle and his men working together from within, it's only a matter of time before we capture Nanling."

Qi Wushuang recalled Mu Yili's appearance in his mind, but had no impression.

"Do you think Mu Yili can do it?"

"Today I specially had someone take her through the torture chamber of the Qi'an Department. She remained calm when she saw the torture instruments.

Few people can match his courage alone.

And she is ambitious and has plans, so I think she can do it.

Even if it doesn't work out, we won't lose anything."

That's true!

"I'll send Lei Dahong to accompany her and serve as her liaison with the imperial court. After they depart, I'll write a letter to Master to tell him about this."

"Just arrange it."

"There's one more thing I promised her."

Ye Wuwei then told Mu Yili about her ambition to become the chieftain of Nanling after her success: "Will you blame me for making the decision on my own?"

"It's just a piece of toast. Just agree to it. It's not worth your special mention."

Qi Wushuang held Ye Wuwei's hand and said, "Go wash up first, we'll talk later while we lie on the bed."

Seeing that Qi Wushuang really didn't care about his abuse of power, Ye Wuwei said:

“No wonder Mu Yili came directly to me to discuss cooperation.

I asked her why she came to me, and she said that as long as I agreed to do something, she would agree to it.

Is our relationship well known to everyone?"

Qi Wushuang didn't care if their relationship was known to others:

"If they know, then they know. What else can they do to the two of us?"

We can't do anything to these two people, but there will be a lot of tricks.

When he finished taking a bath and went to bed, Qi Wushuang brought a large glass of goat milk to Ye Wuwei:

"Last time you said that drinking a glass of milk at night would help you sleep, so I asked someone to check, but no one had ever seen a cow that produces milk.

I thought goat milk was about the same, so I asked someone to find a few sheep."

Ye Wuwei took the goat milk:

"I don't really like drinking milk. I just said it casually that day."

"I asked the imperial physician, and he said drinking goat's milk is good for your health. You should drink some every day."

Ye Wuwei drank half of it, then handed the goat milk to Qi Wushuang: "It's too much to drink, you drink the rest."

Qi Wushuang didn't mind and took the goat milk and drank all the rest.

After drinking, he poured some water for Ye Wuwei to rinse his mouth.

After they got into bed, they sat against the headboard.

"There's something else I forgot to tell you."

Ye Wuwei told Nie Youren what he had told Chu Yuyan about knowing about their relationship:

"From Nie Youren's tone, it seems Chu Yuyan saw you hugging me yesterday, and then she went to ask my cousin about our relationship."

This time, Qi Wushuang didn't say "I'll know if I know", but said:

"I used to think she was just a little spoiled, but when I saw her at the birthday party yesterday, I suddenly felt very strange, like she was a completely different person."

"Are you worried that she'll tell Qi Yuchang about our relationship?"

"I'm not worried about that. Given her feelings, she probably won't tell Qi Yuchang.

I'm not afraid even if I tell Qi Yuchang.

I just felt a little uneasy watching her, thinking she would do something crazy."

"Your concerns are not unreasonable. There are some things about her and Qi Yuchang that I haven't told you."

"what's up?"

"She has to pay for all the expenses at Prince Li's Mansion herself, and..."

Speaking of this, Ye Wuwei felt a little embarrassed to speak.

"Qi Yuchang often visits Qingfeng Pavilion.

The key point is not that he visited Qingfeng Pavilion, but that he did not pay the money after visiting Qingfeng Pavilion and even instructed the people from Qingfeng Pavilion to ask Chu Yuyan for it.

Chu Yuyan paid more than two thousand taels of silver for Qi Yuchang."

Qi Wushuang's face darkened.

Looking at Qi Wushuang's expression, Ye Wuwei continued:

"After I got the news, I sent a letter to my cousin. She went to look for Chu Yuyan, but Chu Yuyan told her not to get involved, so I didn't tell you."

Qi Wushuang thought for a moment:

"I will find Qi Guangren tomorrow and ask him to inform Qingfeng Pavilion that from now on, Qi Yuchang must pay in cash whenever he goes to Qingfeng Pavilion."

"Shouldn't I go and talk to Qi Guangren about this?"

"No, I don't want you getting involved in this bullshit."

"I'm not afraid of that. I deal with shit every day."

"But Chu Yuyan's matter might bring you into trouble."

Seeing Qi Wushuang say this, Ye Wuwei no longer forced it.

He really didn't want to get involved in Chu Yuyan's affairs.

However, Qi Wushuang did not ask the housekeeper or Xiao Dengzi to come forward, but personally stepped in to handle such a small matter, which shows that he cares about Prince Chu very much.

Ye Wuwei naturally knew that Qi Wushuang did this not because of his deep feelings for Chu Yuyan, but because of his promise to Prince Chu.

……

The next day after court, Qi Wushuang left Qi Guangren alone.

"I heard that Qi Yuchang visited Qingfeng Pavilion without paying and even ordered the people from Qingfeng Pavilion to ask Chu Yuyan for money?"

Qi Guangren hurriedly said:

"I don't know about this, I'll ask Uncle San later.

If it's true, have Third Uncle notify Qingfeng Pavilion not to do business with Prince Li anymore."

The third uncle that Qi Guangren mentioned was Qi Sanye, the third brother of Qi Taiwei.

Mr. Qi Sanye did not hold an office in the court, but instead managed the Qi family's business.

"That's not necessary. Just tell them that from now on, anyone who goes to Qingfeng Pavilion must pay in cash."

Qi Guangren quickly agreed.

After leaving the Taiji Hall, Qi Guangren wiped the sweat from his head.

The aura of His Majesty just now, which was so imposing without even being angry, was truly intimidating. He was filled with fear without even saying a single harsh word.

I don’t know how Ye Wuwei gets along with him on a daily basis?

Qi Yuchang is so uncultured. What's the point of asking his wife to pay for visiting a brothel?

However, it seems that the Chu family still holds great importance in His Majesty's heart, and His Majesty did not even delegate such a small matter to others!
