Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 623: Where Did He Go?

"Master, everything is ready!"

Yama and Luosha both walked over from the side and bowed.

They are the first and second in command at Yulong Pavilion. Though they claim loyalty to the Emperor, their true allegiance lies solely with Qi Yun, not even Qi Junlian can command them.

Qi Yun nodded slightly and turned to look at Long Yue: "Yue’er, hurry up and leave! Go far away, away from this place of trouble!"

"Supreme Emperor, please also take care of yourself and guard against harm!"

"Good, good, good child, don’t worry, I will be fine!"

Qi Yun saw Long Yue somewhat moved, and his heart felt slightly relieved. Although he couldn’t hope for Long Yue to completely forgive him, at least she was not as cold as before, which was good.

"Rui’er, say goodbye to your Grandpa!"

Long Yue grabbed Xiao Rui’er’s little hand, waved it at Qi Yun, and then, led by Luosha, left this underground secret chamber.

"Master, we can close the net now."

Yama bowed and said.

"Close the net?" Qi Yun smiled, "No, it’s still early, still early, let’s wait a bit. Once Luosha safely returns from the Cao Family after sending them away, we can close the net."

"Master, this will take some time, I fear they might be a threat to you."

"Will they?" Qi Yun’s voice lightly trembled, he turned around, looked at another secret chamber behind him, his voice became faint, "Will she... attempt to harm me?"

"Master, it’s important to stay vigilant!"

"Ah well, you’re right, let him host up there, I will stay here for these few days."

Later, a middle-aged man who looked exactly like Qi Yun walked out of the secret chamber.

Heaven knows how much this Supreme Emperor fears death, to prepare so many body doubles!

...

Seventh Prince Mansion.

Qi Junchen listened to the reports from those around him, showing joy on his face.

"Father’s health has been worsening these days?"

"Yes, Your Highness, ever since Princess Consort Mu and her son were harmed, he hasn’t been able to eat or drink and often says that he harmed them, becoming thinner by the day!"

A counselor from the Seventh Prince Mansion bowed and said.

"Haha..." Qi Junchen wanted to laugh, but realized laughing at this time was inappropriate, so he quickly restrained himself. His gaze became shadowy, and he clenched his right fist, and fiercely struck the air.

"If Father passes, what do you think will happen to the court?"

"Do we even need to say? It will surely be chaotic for a while, after all, though the Emperor has already ascended to the throne, his power is less than half of what it was during the Supreme Emperor’s time, especially intelligence organizations like Yulong Pavilion which are still in the hands of the Supreme Emperor. Once the Supreme Emperor passes, the entire court will surely undergo a reshuffle."

"Yes, absolutely, at that time if he moves against those ministers, we can make our move to recruit them, hey, many things are not impossible!"

"But Your Highness, this new Emperor has a soft temperament, he likely won’t move against those people, right?"

A counselor among them asked.

Qi Junchen narrowed his eyes, sneering: "He won’t, but he has a good mother, that Consort Li, she’s not easy to deal with!

Father retired and should have handed all matters over to the new Emperor, but he didn’t, this is bound to cause a rift between them as father and son!

Even if the Emperor doesn’t say it, he will always feel uneasy, and a mother loves her child dearly, how could she allow him to suffer any grievances?

Father is still here, so Consort Li doesn’t dare make any moves, but once he’s gone? Empress Dowager Li listening to the politics, now that’s something to see!"

"We congratulate Your Highness in advance!"

"Hahaha..."

...

"Drive, drive, drive!"

On an unfamiliar tree-lined road, a carriage sped along.

This was a very remote official road, due to the uneven terrain, very few people traveled this way.

"Wow, wow..."

From inside the carriage came the loud cries of a child.

Perhaps because they were leaving familiar places, the child felt a bit anxious. Upon waking, the little mouth turned down in a cry that the woman could not soothe.

"You child, why are you misbehaving again? Really asking for trouble!"

The woman pinched the little baby’s hand, teasingly.

"Princess Consort, bear with it a little longer, ahead is a small town, when we reach it we can calm down the Young Prince."

Luosha sat beside Long Yue, looking at the constantly crying little guy, he too felt quite troubled.

As an upright and masculine man, he had never taken care of children, let alone listened to a child’s cries before.

He admired the Master greatly, having hardly ever taken care of children, yet helping Long Yue care for the child; how could this Emperor be as cold-blooded and ruthless as outsiders say?

Rumors are truly unreliable.

Long Yue awkwardly smiled, glanced out the window, and said, "Luosha, we are no longer in Shengjing City, call me Madam here, Princess Consort is too conspicuous."

"I obey!"

"Luosha, actually there’s no need to rest too long, we need to hurry on, I’m worried about the Supreme Emperor."

Luosha, wearing a black Shura Mask, paused slightly upon hearing this, then realized something. How could he not worry about Qi Yun?

Now with Li Qingmu and his wife gone from the Imperial Palace, how many trustworthy and reliable people did he have?

The issue isn’t that Qi Junlian is unsuitable, but rather this Emperor is too good, with a gentle and soft character, such an Emperor easily encourages the ambitions of those ministers below, and the power of external clans.

Consort Li also has maternal relatives, although her family isn’t as powerful as Empress Qiao’s Qiao Family, once she gains power, Consort Li’s family will grow strong.

Moreover, the Seventh Prince is watching avidly...

This Imperial Palace lacks security, who knows how the Master will respond?

"Wah—"

Xiao Rui’er quieted down a bit, but when he turned to see Luosha, he started crying again.

Long Yue looked down at the baby in her arms, then at Luosha, finally realizing why Rui’er wouldn’t stop crying.

"Ahem, Luosha, your mask scared my child!"

This was an awkward issue, Luosha paused slightly, then said apologetically, "Sorry Princess Consort, I cannot remove this mask, otherwise I cannot be a spy."

Long Yue understood, he’s not just an ordinary spy but the highest-level spy, he can’t allow anyone to see his face.

"But why doesn’t Nan Haitang wear a mask?"

Both Yama and Luosha wore masks to maintain mystery, but Nan Haitang didn’t.

"He arrived late, and at ten years old already, we were brought to the Master’s side when we were very young."

"I understand now."

This explains it.

At ten years old, a child already has a basic structure revealing future features, those with keen eyes can discern traits even from five or six years old.

So, Nan Haitang didn’t have this necessity.

Speaking of Nan Haitang, Long Yue suddenly realized she hadn’t seen him for a long time, and he seemed to have sought out Li Qingmu for a drink before Li Qingmu was killed, so could it be he knows something?

Thinking of this, Long Yue couldn’t help but ask, "Luosha, where is Nan Haitang now?"
