Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1286 - 1292: Brother Ying Looking for Someone (5)

No matter what he did, she was always reminded of some unpleasant events, which made her sad and angry. Therefore, what she needed most now wasn’t his apologies and compensation, but for him to stay far away from her, to give her enough space, and not to let her see him again.

However, Mo Zili simply couldn’t grasp her thoughts. The more Xiang Yun avoided him, the more he wanted to hold onto her. He always had this feeling that if he wasn’t careful, she would leave him and escape to a place where he couldn’t find her. This feeling made him very uneasy. He couldn’t help but keep an eye on her all the time, always keeping her within his line of sight, just in case. Although this approach was very different from his usual way of doing things, he had no choice but to do it this way to ease the unease in his heart.

...

Inside the Palace

After dinner, Cai Wei and Nangong Yi walked hand in hand to the Imperial Garden for a stroll. On the way, Cai Wei shared her idea of letting the concubines who hadn’t been favored be released with Nangong Yi.

After hearing this, Nangong Yi thought for a while and said, "Although these Palace Concubines haven’t received the Retired Emperor’s favor, they are still nominally his concubines, different from those Palace maidens. Letting them go might provoke opposition from the Court Ministers."

Cai Wei laughed and said, "I have already thought of that. We would have to secretly let these people go, and once they are out, we will have to give them a new identity. Then, no one will have any grounds for criticism."

Nangong Yi said, "There are no secrets that aren’t eventually revealed. When those old men find out, they’ll make a fuss again."

When they had released the Palace maidens, there had already been many Ministers who opposed the decision. If they were to release the Retired Emperor’s Concubines now, the Ministers would definitely react strongly. Not only the Ministers but also the Empress Dowager and the Retired Emperor might not agree.

Cai Wei smiled and said, "If we’re afraid of their opposition, we just need to create a bigger issue to draw their attention. Then, they won’t focus on these few individuals."

Curious, Nangong Yi asked, "What could possibly be more eye-catching than this?"

Cai Wei smiled proudly, shaking her head, and said, "The excavation work at Erlong Mountain has already finished. In a few days, three huge dinosaur fossils will be transported to the Capital. At that time, those three enormous creatures will surely cause a great stir in the capital city. The Emperor can take advantage of that moment to release them. Even if it is noticed, with such a big event occurring, who will bother to keep an eye on a few inconspicuous Palace Concubines?"

This tactic was called misdirection, diverting the enemy’s attention, and Cai Wei often used it in bed. Although it was not very effective, she used it frequently, and by now, she had mastered it quite well.

Nangong Yi asked, "How do you know the excavation is finished? And how do you know that three skeletons have been unearthed?"

Cai Wei said, "This is the news brought back by Brother Ying. It’s absolutely accurate. So, as long as you agree to release them, I guarantee no one will make things difficult for you."

The man always trusted her words very much. Hearing her say this, he said, "Since Madam has spoken, even if someone makes it difficult, your husband will do all he can to fulfill his wife’s heart’s desire. Oh, by the way, did you say that Brother Parrot has returned?"

"Yes, it returned this morning!"

"I see!"

Nangong Yi stroked his chin and said, "I remember Madam said that Brother Parrot could find the lost prince of the Qing Luo Kingdom. Now that it’s back, why not send it to look? If it is found, wouldn’t the Qing Luo Kingdom owe Great Jin a huge favor?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Cai Wei slapped her forehead and laughed, "Look at my memory. I always felt like I was forgetting something, and it turns out to be this. This is simple, just wait."

Having said that, she summoned Brother Ying with a thought and conveyed the task of finding the person.

For Brother Parrot, finding a person was incredibly simple. Upon receiving the order, it flew out of the space like a green rocket, rising high into the air. When it became just a tiny green spot, its eyes widened, and in a flash, a golden light enveloped the land.

A moment later, Brother Parrot contacted Cai Wei with a thought, crying out, "Master, I’ve found him! This person is actually living in the capital city!"

Cai Wei looked at Nangong Yi excitedly and said, "Brother Parrot says it has found him. This person is in the capital!"

Nangong Yi said in surprise, "Found him so quickly? Are you sure there’s no mistake?"

"Of course, there’s no mistake. Brother Parrot is a Divine Beast!" Cai Wei was very confident in Brother Parrot’s abilities. She looked up at the small green speck in the sky and commanded, "Go and see who that person is, where he lives, and remember to tell me."

"Yes, Master!"

With a whoosh, Brother Parrot disappeared!

"Just wait and see. It will soon find that prince of the Qing Luo Kingdom!" Cai Wei said with certainty.
