Xu Er felt a little flustered.
As if about to lose the backbone...
When this thought flashed in his mind, Xu Er was also a little surprised. Before the Empress Empress came, he was in charge of all the affairs in this city, but he had never felt such a flustered feeling.
It was probably because since the Empress Empress came, no matter what he did, he could ask the Empress Empress first, and even in many cases, he didn't have to think by himself, he just had to do what the Empress Empress ordered.
It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.
"Do you understand everything?"
Xu Er nodded: "Understood."
As if to calm his mind, Xu Er nodded his head lightly again: "The subordinates have written down everything one by one."
"Okay." Yun Shang seemed to know what Xu Er was thinking, and smiled again: "Actually, don't worry too much. If I guessed correctly, He Chuling won't wake up the Gu in my body too early. Worm, seven or eight times out of ten, she will wake up the Gu worm when she asks me to put on her makeup on the fifteenth day."
Yun Shang hooked the corners of her lips: "He Chuling, I'm afraid that I will find out her secret. I'm afraid that something will happen to me and it will affect her plan."
"What's the secret?" Xu Er's mind finally began to turn: "And, how did He Chuling know the art of Gu worms? Could it be that he has been around the Wu clan for too long these past few months, and he has learned it?"
After Xu Er finished speaking, he was surprised again: "If this is the case, then He Chuling knew that Xia Houjing was controlled by the Wu tribe? Then she is still so close to the Wu tribe?"
Yun Chang couldn't help lowering her eyes and laughing: "It's over, I suddenly feel that I am a little worried about entrusting these things in this city to you."
Xu Er was at a loss, still not knowing what he said wrong.
Just as she was about to ask, the smile on the empress's face gradually faded, and there was a bit of sarcasm in her eyes: "He Chuling, he is a member of the Wu clan."
"Wu Clan...Wu Clan people?" Xu Er's eyes widened in disbelief.
Yun Chang's face was very calm, as if she didn't know that she had thrown a thunderbolt, but she said something that made Xu Er almost scream: "He Chuling is not only a member of the Wu Clan, but also a great wizard of the Wu Clan."
Xu Er opened his mouth for a while, but his throat still seemed to be stuck in something.
Only three words kept flashing in my mind, how come
how could be
Xu Er was silent for a moment, before he said: "But, my subordinates have heard that He Chuling is a native of the Xia Kingdom. Isn't her father an official in the court? Isn't she a relative of the concubine Yu?"
Yun Shang smiled casually: "Have you forgotten? What are the Wu clan people best at?"
"The art of witchcraft."
After Xu Er finished answering, he repeated his own words as if absent-minded: "Yes, the people of the Wu clan are best at the art of witchcraft, and that one is the great wizard of the Wu clan."
Since he is a great wizard of the witch clan, the technique of witchcraft should be extremely powerful.
It is not difficult to use witchcraft to control people in a government.
"Then He Chuling went to the palace and fell on His Majesty on purpose..."
Yun Shang's expression was still very calm: "Of course it was intentional. In fact, at that time, His Majesty in the palace was not His Majesty at all. At that time, His Majesty had already gone to the Wu Clan to rescue the prince, and fell into the hands of the Wu Clan."
"I'm afraid He Chuling just wants to see who that His Majesty in the palace is."
Yun Shang pursed her lips: "Later, she took advantage of the opportunity to propose that she wanted to enter the palace as a concubine, just to give herself a step down. She should have heard of my reputation as a jealous woman, so she probably never thought that I would actually be a concubine. If I agree, I will give her a title by decree, and prepare to take her into the palace."
"Although the majesty in the palace is not the real majesty, but I was still in the palace at that time, and she naturally understood that entering the palace is not allowed. If I find out the clues, the loss outweighs the gain."
"So, she simply played a trick of being taken away."
"Pretending to be taken away, pretending that the rebels think she is someone Luo Qingyan likes, and who is willing to break the rules for her, so that she can appear in Wu'an City in an open and honest manner, and appear in an open and honest manner by Xia Houjing's side."
Xu Er opened his mouth wide, completely unaware that things would develop like this.
After a long while, Xu Er recovered his voice: "This...isn't this too legendary? Even those who write folk stories don't dare to write like this?"
Hearing what Xu Er said, Yunshang couldn't help laughing: "That's right, even folk writers can't write such a thrilling story."
"No wonder..." Xu Er had digested it a little bit now, and he had the time to think carefully about some of the clues: "No wonder, after He Chuling entered the city, he said on the surface that he was taken captive, but he was not taken captive at all. It doesn't look like a hostage or a prisoner at all."
"Only a few days after arriving in this city, I started to ostentatiously walk around in the city. It didn't take long before I started mixing with Xia Houjing and those rebel leaders."
Xu Er frowned: "Thinking about it now, the people who He Chuling often hang out with after entering the city were later confirmed by us and the queen to be from the Wu tribe."
"At the time, we were still puzzled, but when we saw that He Chuling and Xia Houjing were intimate, we thought it was He Chuling who hooked up with Xia Houjing and made a mess with him."
"Later, when we found out that Xia Houjing was a living dead, we still thought in our hearts, isn't it just a living dead? Could it be possible that a living dead can... and be like a woman?"
Xu Er cautiously raised his head to look at Yun Shang's expression, then coughed lightly and said, "Now when I hear the Empress Empress talk about the whole story, I feel suddenly enlightened, that's how it is."
"It turns out that He Chuling is a member of the Wu clan, and even the great wizard of the Wu clan."
After Xu Er finished speaking, he turned to look at Yunshang: "Then He Chuling said that on the fifteenth day, she will ask the empress to put on makeup for her, and she will attend an extremely grand banquet, so..."
"She is the one who will activate the life-changing formation herself on the night of the fifteenth day."
Yunshang pursed her lips, and her eyes gradually turned cold: "The people of the Wu clan attach great importance to such sacrifices or the activation of a large formation, and regard it as a major event in life, so He Chuling made a special trip for that day. , customized a dress, and wanted me to put on makeup for her, and wanted to appear on the altar in the best posture."
Yun Shang hooked the corner of her mouth: "I also saw how the Wu people treated the witchcraft in the Wu tribe before, so I decided to take a gamble, but I made the right bet."
