Chapter 355 You went to rob
Great Zhou, the capital.
Six days had passed, and Shen Li and the others hadn't returned yet. Xiao Chenze stood quietly by the window, watching the heavy snow falling outside, and didn't speak for a long time.
The wolfhound squatted at his feet, occasionally making a humming sound and rubbing his legs with his face to show comfort.
It seemed to have sensed that its owner was in a bad mood.
"Wolf Blue, do you feel that Shen Li seems to be less enthusiastic towards us?" Xiao Chenze touched its head and murmured.
Langqing's eyelids drooped and he hummed twice.
Of course it realized it. It realized it that day in the emperor's study.
Because it wagged its tail at Shen Li, Shen Li didn't even look at it, but only looked at the cousin named Chu Qianxue.
Strangely enough, it had never liked Chu Qianxue since it was a child.
Especially since it had witnessed Chu Qianxue, relying on her father's status as the Duke of Zhenguo, often bullying a subordinate's child. That child was very fond of the wolf cub and would often secretly feed it bones. Later, after being bullied by Chu Qianxue, the child returned to his hometown with his mother.
The wolf never saw him again, and from then on it hated Chu Qianxue even more.
If it could speak, it would definitely tell its master to stay away from Chu Qianxue.
The master knew nothing, but whenever he smiled at a girl from any family, Chu Qianxue would turn around and cause trouble for them.
At the worst moment, she beat up a girl who almost bumped into her master while walking. The girl covered her face and ran back home crying.
After it followed, it heard the girl's parents say that they couldn't afford to offend them and told them to stay away from them from now on.
As a result, Chu Qianxue went to the house again to threaten the man, telling him not to tell Xiao Chenze about her beating him.
Pooh.
That's a bad guy who bullies others by taking advantage of his power.
Thinking of this, Lang Qing rolled his eyes in disgust.
No one understood what it said. It wanted to wait for Shen Li to come back and tell her that Chu Qianxue was a piece of shit. It wanted Shen Li to tell its master everything Chu Qianxue had done.
Woof woof...
"You felt it too, right?" Xiao Chenze sighed, his eyes fixed on the snowflakes outside. "The northern border should be covered in ice and snow right now. She left in such a hurry that I forgot to ask her to wear more clothes."
The wolfdog simply lay down and moved closer to his feet.
"I don't know how this matter went. I originally planned to go find her after sending my grandmother and the others back. I have a lot to say to her. I didn't expect that she did so many great things while we were away from the capital. Look, as soon as we came back, she was sent out by the emperor to do something even greater."
He knew that Lang Qing would not respond, he just wanted to find someone to talk to, but he couldn't say these words to others.
"Today is the sixth day," he said softly as the snow outside grew heavier. "Isn't it time to come back?"
A gust of wind blew, picking up the snow on the ground and throwing it into the sky.
At the same time, the emperor was waiting anxiously in the palace.
Before leaving, they agreed to return in five days, but now it has been a full day and there is still no sign of him. He is anxious but has to remain calm and can only drink water continuously.
Eunuch Chang came in, bowed, and walked to the emperor's side, whispering, "Your Majesty, Mu Heng just came over and said that he had visited both the Fang and Yan families, and indeed, neither of them had returned."
The emperor put down his teacup irritably, stood up and took two steps. "What do you think is going on with them? They haven't shown up at the agreed time, and no one has sent back a message. Could something have happened?"
Eunuch Chang said with a smile, "Your Majesty, it would take six days to get letters back from the places they went to."
"Oh," the emperor slapped his forehead, "that's right, look at my brain."
"Your Majesty, you have a good mind," said Eunuch Chang. "Don't worry, the General and the Marquis of Guanyong are not ordinary people. With these two around, even the King of Hell would stay three feet away from them."
The emperor also laughed when he heard this and nodded, "That's right, just these two guys, one of them is enough to scare the God of Death, so nothing will happen."
Eunuch Chang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The emperor had been feeling restless since this time yesterday.
Today, he stood up after sitting down for a while, looking very uneasy, but he had to force himself to stay calm. He was really worried that the emperor would get an asthma attack if he was anxious, so he always carried a spray with him.
"Your Majesty, the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion entered the palace today and is now with the Empress Dowager, talking with her."
"Oh?" The emperor was startled and looked outside. "It's snowing so heavily, why did she come into the palace today?"
"Well, I'm not entirely sure about that," Eunuch Chang said. "I heard that many families have recently sent invitations to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, hoping to invite the Chu family's daughters to enjoy the scenery. Perhaps the old lady of the Chu family came to the palace to ask the Empress Dowager about the situation of the aristocratic families in the capital over the years. She wants to avoid rashly attending the banquet and losing her dignity."
The emperor nodded and said, "That's possible. Madam Chu has always known when to advance and when to retreat. She is a person of measure."
He pondered for a moment and said to Eunuch Chang, "You will go and convey my order later. The weather is cold and if the heavy snow makes it difficult to travel, please ask Old Madam Chu to stay in the palace tonight. It will be a good opportunity for her to chat with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager hasn't had anyone to talk to for many years."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Eunuch Chang bowed and retreated.
The emperor watched him walk away, then looked up at the snowflakes flying randomly in the sky and closed his eyes irritably.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came into my ears, "Your Majesty, I am back. I have missed you so much."
It’s Fang Yao.
The emperor suddenly opened his eyes.
Sure enough, Fang Yao was standing in front of him, grinning happily at him.
Behind Fang Yao were Guan Yonghou with his somewhat disheveled hair, Fang Jitao with his face covered in black and gray, and Shen Li with her hands full of pearls and gems.
"You...what are you doing? Why are you a day later than scheduled?" The emperor was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He looked carefully at the things in Shen Li's hand, "Are you going to rob?"
The people in front of him smiled at the emperor and said mysteriously, "Your Majesty, when Eunuch Chang comes back later, please ask him to bring people to guard this place. We have brought you some good things."
"What? Did you really go and rob?"
"Your Majesty," Marquis Guanyong leaned closer to the emperor and said in a low voice, "We have emptied the inner storehouses of the Xiqiang and Beidi palaces and taken everything."
"Huh?" The emperor stared at them in amazement, thinking he had misheard. "Inner storehouse? Completely emptied? Just you? Just a few of you?"
"Look, you still don't believe it," Fang Yao looked up at the beams, "Fu Lizhang, I know you're up there, watch out outside and don't let anyone get close."
After that, he pulled Shen Li in front of the emperor and said, "If it really doesn't work, let Li'er take you in to have a look."
It's no wonder he said that. There were simply too many things. The dormitory where Shen Li was hiding in front was already full, so they had to occupy the shelves in the space, stacking layer upon layer until they fell down.
