Early the next morning, Wu Sheyue packed her things and planned to go out. Before leaving, she hesitated repeatedly, but in the end she did not go to the Stars House to pay her respects. Now that the relationship between her and the prime minister is tense, the old lady must be willing to bite her to death, and there is no need for her to go through it again in the future.
Although Sisi and Xiaoling were reluctant, Wu Sheyue still insisted on leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion through the main entrance without taking anyone with her.
Along the way, the servants and maids who saw her bowed their heads respectfully and gave way, not even daring to take a breath - many of them rolled their eyes at the mother and daughter in the west courtyard.
Nowadays, Wu Sheyue's status has soared. She could even cripple her eldest son and nothing would happen. Even the emperor personally came to the Prime Minister's Mansion just to make her Princess Mingyue in person! This is a treatment that most people don't have.
Now everyone just hopes that after she gains power, she won't remember old scores and cause trouble for servants like them again.
After Wu Sheyue left the Prime Minister's Mansion, she took A Li's carriage to Chuixue Pavilion and arrived at the old place without being led by anyone. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Yu Jing and Duanmu Qinghan standing by the window talking. She didn't know how the atmosphere between them had changed after one night.
"Yue'er." Yu Jing's expression softened significantly when he saw her.
Wu Sheyue came to Yu Jing, handed over the box in her sleeve and said, "I brought the things."
"Yes." Yu Jing took it without looking at it, and handed it to Duanmu Qinghan beside him.
Duanmu Qinghan took it and opened it. The moment he saw the things in the box, there was an unspeakable strong emotion in his eyes. Wu Sheyue kept looking at his expression carefully. She knew that Duanmu Qinghan really knew that thing. .
After a while, Duanmu Qinghan finally closed the box and took it into his arms. "Yin Qiu Ming... is she really your mother?" he asked, even looking at Wu Sheyue with a gentle look.
"Yes, what?"
"Just asking." He nodded slightly, "From now on, just wait for my news. I will find out as soon as possible."
"That's good." Wu Sheyue was relieved that the other party did not regard Yin Qiu Ming as a traitor. "I also said yesterday that I will never let the young master's work go in vain." She said and took another hand from her waist. Take out a delicate little cloth bag.
Duanmu Qinghan didn't expect that Wu Sheyue actually brought something over, and immediately took a step back with a embarrassed look on his face, "Miss Yue, you don't have to be so anxious..."
But Wu Sheyue insisted, "This is just a deposit. After all, I don't have any cash in hand. It still depends on whether you can take a liking to the young master."
"but I-"
"Qing Han." Yu Jing suddenly looked at him and pointedly reminded him, "Since it is the reward from Yue'er, you'd better accept it."
"Well… "
Wu Sheyue opened the cloth bag with one hand, revealing some inch-long small black metal parts inside. The sharp edges on the parts still emitted a cold and dark light.
Under Duanmu Qinghan's puzzled gaze, she assembled the things very quickly in a few clicks, turning it into a pocket-shaped bracelet that looked like a bowstring. She put the bracelet on her wrist and adjusted it to a perfect fit. Then, she looked at Duanmu Qinghan's blank face and pointed to the side.
With an inaudible sound, a short needle as thin as a cow's hair shot out from under her sleeve. If Duanmu Qinghan hadn't been watching her, he wouldn't have noticed anything flying out. Because the martial arts practitioner has extremely good eyesight, he could see that the short needle was nailed to the door frame and penetrated three-thirds of the way into the wood.
Duanmu Qinghan's eyes were straight, while Wu Sheyue raised her arms and said with a slight smile: "It's okay, just apply poison."
Suddenly, a chill ran up Duanmu Qinghan's back. Could such a hidden thing be able to kill people in the temple without being noticed
Wu Sheyue took off the thing on her wrist and handed it over along with the handkerchief with instructions for use. She blinked and said, "Young master must be in great need of such a small and useful thing. I only have that one needle. From now on." Please bring what you need, sir."
In fact, this is a simple mechanical principle, which is somewhat similar to pressing a pencil. It's just that she increased the ejection force of the back seat. The disadvantage is that it is not easy to aim, and it is easy to accidentally injure the people next to you in the crowd. But she didn't plan to say it out loud. Anyway, for a person with such inner strength, this shortcoming should not be considered a shortcoming.
A glimmer of light flashed in Duanmu Qinghan's eyes. This time he didn't say anything and just took the thing.
Yu Jing looked away, put his arm around Wu Sheyue's shoulders and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back."
"good."
Approaching the door, Yu Jing turned around and said, "You should go back early."
After the two left, Duanmu Qinghan stood at the window and continued to look at the busy traffic outside. Sure enough, he looked a lot like her. He rubbed the bracelet on his hand and whispered to himself, "It seems it's not time to go back yet..."
On the carriage going to Prince Yu's Mansion, Wu Sheyue asked him hummingly, "Does it suit you if I give you this?"
"Yue'er knows what I'm thinking." Yu Jing smiled even more and reached out to pinch her nose.
Wu Sheyue slapped his hand away and said seriously: "Of course~ I am unable to interfere with Ming Qi, and I want to make up for the difficulty of not helping my friends, but do you know how long I have been studying that thing! Remember to protect this princess for a while !”
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess." Yu Jing raised his eyebrows lazily and put the person in his arms.
—
Entering the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion again, Wu Sheyue's mood was a little different. This time she was like visiting her boyfriend's house to meet her parents-in-law.
The old concubine was having breakfast and playing with the birds in the garden at this time. When she saw people coming, she had a smile on her face.
As soon as Wu Sheyue bowed to Yu Jing, she heard the old concubine above her sigh, "Yue Yatou really keeps her word. I sent Huan Pei back just as she said she would, but I didn't expect to change to a round pendant. So do I." Oversight."
"Grandma..." As soon as Yu Jing called out, the old concubine waved to the maid next to her, "Go over and bring two more chairs. You all can sit down and talk. Girl, sit over here."
"Yes." The maid quickly moved the chair and placed it in front of the old concubine. Wu Sheyue reluctantly left Yu Jing's side.
The three of them sat down in the courtyard, and the maid brought them new tea.
"People say that women undergo a transformation, and that's really what happened." The old concubine looked at Wu Sheyue and nodded with satisfaction, "She is much fairer than last time. The girl will grow more and more beautiful in the future. "
"Thank you for the compliment, Princess Dowager." Wu Sheyue said, silently looking at everything around her. She originally thought that the old lady would bully her as soon as they met, or order Yu Jing to sever ties with her, but now... she doesn't like this kind of secretly stumbling block with a smile!
The old concubine nodded, looked at the flowers and plants in the garden and said leisurely: "Hey, I heard that the emperor also gave me a title, which is good." (To be continued)
