Chapter 182 Not Her Dog
She gathered the people she had brought with her around her and they whispered among themselves.
They were plotting in hushed tones, completely unaware that their eyes and ears were everywhere.
in the capital
Wu Ziyan returned to Wu Chengji's residence, where Wu Chengji happened to be holding a secret letter.
Look, this is actually a secret letter intercepted between the Prime Minister and Xiao Rong.
She has now changed into a formal outfit.
After all, she had to personally invite even a high-ranking official, and Wu Ziyan was also dressed formally.
Even if someone is usually carefree and irresponsible, they certainly can't let their guard down during such a high-profile state banquet.
"Big sister, what are you looking at?"
"I thought you weren't coming today. This is a secret report I just read. You know what, they've got a really clever plan."
He handed the secret report to Wu Ziyan, treating him like family.
The paper was actually being used in their Wu Dynasty language for communication, and it described the specific location of the transaction.
There were also items made of gold, and various other matters, which made Wu Ziyan's eyes light up.
Her eyes darted around quickly; wasn't this another brilliant scheme?
She's very adept at using this kind of trick.
There was clearly nothing of substance or importance written above.
However, Wu Ziyan whispered a few words in Wu Chengji's ear.
After hearing this, Wu Chengji also felt that his fourth sister was truly cunning and treacherous.
"But if the eldest sister wants to deceive the enemy, she must first deceive her own people."
"General Chu Yu, don't tell her, otherwise he can go back and fool Qi Zexuan."
What can I say about you? If I say you're not smart, how could you think of something like this? If I say you're smart, what kind of person were you before?
"Miss!"
"Alright, alright, I wasn't kidding."
"But summon the staff member who best imitates the handwriting, and also summon the antique-making master, and then summon the person who specializes in studying paper and reading secret letters."
Once everything was ready, the group stood in a row.
Wu Chengji stared at Wu Ziyan, as if to say, "Now it's time for your performance."
Wu Ziyan first prepared anti-counterfeiting paper for the secret letter, and then had them compare the ink marks.
Even the fragrances in the ink had to be exactly the same.
After everything was ready, Wu Ziyan first wrote down the words on a draft paper, and then had his staff copy them onto the letter.
To show his trust in his ally, he sent another letter to Qi Zeyun.
The letter stated: "Whether the weapons can pass through the border smoothly depends on the need for tens of thousands of crescent blades and a number of iron armors."
Finally, it says that if Qi Zeyun and Qi Zexuan ruin everything, they can be eliminated without mercy.
If there is no successor, another can be born, but the territory must be expanded while she is alive.
This tactic of sowing discord left everyone in awe.
How could one think of such a level from such a small, secret letter?
"What are you all standing there for? Seal the envelope properly!"
"Go and inform General Chu Yu to come over, and then send this letter to the post station for His Highness Qi Zeyun to see."
"Oh, yes."
Meanwhile, don't assume that Chu Yu will be staying in the mansion all day and won't have time to attend to her.
But to his surprise, Wu Chengji's men came to call her as soon as he sat down in the courtyard.
"General Chu Yu, His Highness says he has important business that requires your presence."
"What urgent matter is it that you didn't finish explaining yesterday?"
Then she reluctantly stood up, but then thought about what would happen to this troublemaker at home if she went out.
She glanced at Qi Zexuan, who was dozing off beside her.
I kicked him in the shin, not too hard, just enough to wake him up.
Qi Zexuan was startled and looked around with wide eyes, only to see Chu Yu's impatient face.
He didn't know what this old lady was up to, so he didn't ask and just listened to her.
"I'm going to the First Princess's residence now. You stay home and behave yourself."
"If you try to run away, I'll grab your legs and break your arms."
"But if you don't run away, you can stay safely through the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, you know?"
"Why don't you just use that black iron chain to lock my hands and feet?"
"If you're really worried, put a chain around my neck. You absolutely have to lock me to the bed, okay? I want to sleep!"
Chu Yu didn't understand why Qi Zexuan had suddenly given up all his work overnight.
She didn't seem to want to struggle, and didn't make any other small movements while eating.
He followed her out.
"You said it, but forget about the chain around your neck. You're just under my jurisdiction, not my dog."
It's unclear what exactly caused Qi Zexuan's reaction to the word "dog."
He felt as if the hairs on his back were standing on end; it was a very strange feeling.
He trembled when Chu Yu placed her hand on his shoulder.
His gaze even became somewhat affectionate as he looked at her.
Chu Yu felt a chill run down her spine and patted his shoulder twice more.
"Then let's go. I don't need to drag you to your room. As long as you listen to me, I won't use any force."
Qi Zexuan obediently stood up, followed behind her, and lay down on the bed in the room.
Chu Yu suspected that there might be something fishy about the way the child consciously positioned himself in a starfish shape.
I checked the bed frame from all sides, and there was no sign of it being loose.
If someone is tied up like this, they won't be able to break free without external interference.
But she loosened the chains a bit, so that at least her hands could bend slightly.
Even as they left, they were still somewhat suspicious and turned back to check on Qi Zexuan's condition.
They found him simply lying there asleep, without making any other movements.
He thought to himself that it was really strange, but he still went out to fetch his fast horse.
Before long, they arrived at the gate of Wu Chengji's residence.
She handed the horse to the person at the door and hurried inside. The prince must have something urgent to tell her.
Upon entering, one finds Wu Chengji and Wu Ziyan drinking tea.
When they saw him come in, they all waved to him with harmonious smiles, making a "come, come, come" gesture.
He scratched the back of his head, walked in, and looked at the group of people with some confusion.
He glanced at Chu Qiu beside him, but still maintained that indifferent expression; he seemed to have become addicted to being a bodyguard.
"Your Highnesses, what brings you here?"
"Something big has happened. We have intercepted a secret letter between Xiao Rong and the Prime Minister."
Wu Chengji didn't know how to make up a story, so Wu Ziyan had to do it.
"Oh, yes, it is indeed a big matter. But what brings you here? Are you going to...?"
She made a throat-slitting motion.
Wu Ziyan quickly waved his hand, how could he let her kill Qi Zexuan?
Qi Zexuan is a key figure in this letter; whether or not Chu Yu can win him over will depend on her abilities.
However, Wu Ziyan really liked her for being a bit naive and clueless when it came to men.
“These past few days, various forces have been keeping an eye on me and my fourth sister. I can only feel at ease if I entrust such confidential matters to you, Chu Yu.”
Wu Chengji smiled, but it was somewhat insincere.
