C107 fructus hominis

Although Chu Jingli had obtained a bit of the Azure Sword, he had no intentions of letting him go.

"Could it be that Young Master is so heartless and ungrateful as to actually do such a thing as destroying the bridge after crossing the river?"

These were the exact words that he had spoken. Chu Jingli listened to every single word, his heart full of mixed feelings.

Indeed, it would be too immoral to run away.

However, if he had known that the price of getting the Blue Sword was sacrificing Zhao Rujun's life and giving her freedom, he would have been willing to not get it.

However, things had already happened and there was no longer any room for negotiation.

There was only one person who really "forced" him to leave the Zhao Mansion.

"General, the empress has something to say."

"Speak."

The spy approached Chu Jingli and whispered, "The emperor is missing. Empress wishes for you to return to the palace as soon as possible to discuss finding out about the emperor's whereabouts."

"What?" Chu Jingli's eyes were as big as lanterns. The emperor has gone missing? How could this happen?

Looking at the spy's serious expression, which didn't seem to be lying, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "I know."

Like this, Chu Jingli insisted on leaving, not caring about all the obstacles in his way.

"Young Master, for the sake of Young Miss, you should stay!" As Shadow begs you, Young Master! " This girl really couldn't bear for him to leave. If Young Master left, would he come back? He had already obtained the Dian Cang Sword that he wanted, and would probably not take even half a step into this place in the future.

Chu Jingli made up his mind. "Dian Cang is currently in my hands. Without a doubt, it's like scrap iron. If I want to make it display its greatest value, I must leave. Like a shadow, do you understand?"

If Chu Jingli used it as a personal disciple, it would be a complete waste of the treasure. But if he used it as a great general, then he would deserve the title of a peerless sword.

"But Young Master …" Ru Ying knew his words made sense, but she didn't want him to leave. His relationship with her was weak, and if she left again, he might forget about getting married.

"Let him go." Suddenly, his mind changed.

Chu Jingli had thought that he was just teasing her, "Are you speaking the truth?"

"As you can see, Young Master has made up his mind this time. If you were forced to stay, you wouldn't be happy either. However, we brothers and sisters have a request." A person who knew how to read words and observe expressions was much more pleasing to the eye at this time.

"Just say it." Chu Jingli was elated. As long as they were willing to let him go, everything would be fine.

"Young Master, please allow us to serve by your side. This is the Miss' wish, and it is also the responsibility of me and Ruo Ying."

Like a shadow, he kneeled down after her and said in the same loud voice, "I beg for Young Master's consent!"

Chu Jingli thought for a moment before nodding his head. At that time, the most important thing was to find the emperor. He would bring the two of them first.

"Alright, let's set off for the imperial capital now." Chu Jingli's way of doing things was different from Wu Xiaofei's, so he wouldn't drag him along.

Speaking of Wu Xiaofei, he had already arrived at the imperial capital and was having his meal in a restaurant.

He didn't know whether to eat or not, but he was startled by what he ate. What? The entire Du Family was executed? No! This was impossible! There must be a mistake!

But the customers in the restaurant discussed animatedly, seeming to know everything. Could it be true?

Wu Xiaofei was skeptical, but because he was a bit unwilling to give up, he went to the place his father provided him before he even finished eating.

They had indeed found it, but the Du Residence no longer existed. The signboard had already been removed, and a seal was pasted on the mansion's door.

He collapsed onto the ground, his heart was empty. It seemed that the Wu Residence was hopeless.

Then how do you explain this to a beauty when you get back?

At that moment, the eunuch who had been waiting for some time walked over and smiled. "This lord, this servant is the eunuch of the palace. The empress would like to see you. Please follow me into the palace."

Wu Xiaohu looked left and right, but there was no one else. Was he talking to him?

"Are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?" Wu Xiaofei pointed at himself in disbelief. The empress wanted to see him? This was even more absurd than hearing that the entire Du Residence had been exterminated. She didn't even know who the Empress was. Why would she want to see him for no reason?

This young eunuch was not serious in his work, he must have found the wrong person.

The eunuch was still smiling, "That can't be wrong, this servant still has a portrait here." Then, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and opened it. On the paper, there was a drawing of a person, it was exactly the same as Wu Xiaofei.

At this moment, Wu Xiaofei was stunned. It seemed the empress was indeed looking for him, but why?

Just as he was about to inquire about the suspicions in his heart, the eunuch opened his mouth and said, "Do not keep the Empress waiting. Please follow this servant here."

The eunuch waved his hand, and a palanquin stopped by Wu Xiaozhu's side.

It had to be said, Shangguan Wan was very considerate.

Just like that, Wu Xiaofei was carried into the palace in a daze.

The first acquaintance he saw was none other than the servant girl by Shangguan Wan's side – Yu Yao.

However, this time, Jun Yao was very different from the one in the Wu Residence. She was wearing a light blue palace maid uniform. Her face was plain and her body exuded a noble aura.

"You, why are you here?" Wasn't it unbelievable that she should be in the manor with a beauty? Why did he suddenly come to the palace to be a palace maid?

Everything that had happened today, he could not think through a single thing.

"Young Master, please bathe and change." As he was led into the room, he could see hot steam rising from the barrel.

In the end, he had to meet the Empress. His body could not be too dirty, so bathing and changing was a form of respect to the Empress.

Wu Xiaobao had a bath with the four palace maids and changed into a set of clean clothes.

"Jun Yao, answer this grandpa. This grandpa feels like a stupid turtle!"

"Young master, we have returned to the Phoenix Palace." She didn't know who it was that had learned it from, but it looked pretty much the same as before.

"You …"

"Please go in yourself." She looked at him calmly and made a gesture of welcome.

Didn't he like his beauty? Fine, then he would give the two of them a chance to get along alone. He believed that the Empress also had the same intentions.

Since Wu Xiaofei could not do it, he went in bravely.

When he disappeared in front of her eyes, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lin Lin came over and saw that she was overjoyed, so he asked, "What are you talking about? "Tell me about it."

"I won't tell you." This was a secret exclusive to the Empress and herself. She would not easily share it with others.

Little Lin curled her lips. "What's the big deal, a girl is just a petty person."

"That's right, a woman is petty, but no matter how petty I may be, I still haven't lost the emperor!" When she said the words "Your Majesty", she purposefully lowered her voice so that no one else would hear.

How could Lin Zi be angry, "I already told you, he left on his own, I didn't lose him, so don't blame me!"

He hated being wronged the most in his life, so when it came to unfair matters, he was more irritable than anyone else.
