C121 (1/2)
This was the first step of the Emperor's compromise, and even this was a compromise. This also meant that Xiao Wen Feng had already considered this and agreed to the country's request, including the request to open the Emperor's Tomb and to take the treasures of the previous dynasty that were sealed within the Emperor's Tomb.
Xiao Su could also take the opportunity to bring out clues related to the treasure map of the previous dynasty from the famous guqin Jiao Ye.
”There is also another piece of news, regarding the marriage of the Fourth Prince Xiao Jing and Second Miss Lu Qingwan, the Princess of the Hun clan, Anubis, has already confirmed that her partner is the Fourth Prince, and that she is to be her main consort. Thus, the Emperor has allowed the Fourth Prince to enter the Imperial Court to handle political matters.”
”However, it's impossible for the main wife to enter the door later than the side concubine. Forget about the side concubine that I've previously married. Lu Qingwan hasn't even passed yet, so she should either postpone the wedding or hold it at the same time as Princess Hun.”
She still had a deal with the emperor, so it was definitely impossible to delay it. Therefore, the possibility of it happening at the same time was very high. Lu JinNian could already imagine how noisy Lu Qingwan would be when she heard the news, hehehe …
After hearing the news, Lu JinNian jumped down from the bed, put on her shoes and socks, and waved goodbye to Xiao Su with a smile.
Xiao Su watched her back until she disappeared from sight before she looked down at the file again. When she realized that Qing Ying was still standing there, she didn't even raise her head as she asked, ”What else do you want?”
Qing Ying smirked, ”The Night Guiding Pavilion's Pavilion Master has sent someone to spread the news several times, but Master ignored it. This subordinate fears that Pavilion Master Jane would ignore everything and come knocking.”
In this world, there were many people who knew that Xiao Su was Duke Ming Xuan and Duke Huai, but only a few knew that the Demon Lord was Xiao Su.
Even if she did not reveal that he was the Demon Lord, it would be dangerous enough as long as she revealed that the Night Guiding Pavilion's pavilion master had an unusual relationship with the Duke of Huai, Xiao Su.
Those who were jealous of Xiao Su or viewed him as a threat like the crown prince could imagine what they would do when they found out that Xiao Su was related to such a powerful force.
Ever since Xiao Su had returned to the capital, their probing had not stopped and their suspicions had not been dispelled. If they knew, wouldn't they have tried to kill him?
Although Xiao Su wasn't afraid, she was still annoyed with having too many flies.
”Tell Jane that his people won't die at A Jin's place. However, A Jin needs to calm down before he wakes up.”
”...”
When Lu JinNian returned to the yard, it was already close to evening. Because the weather had been gloomy since early morning, just looking at the sky, it was impossible to tell how much time had passed.
When she saw Lu JinNian, she could not help but nag at him. However, when she saw that her whole body was dripping wet and her heart was cold from the heavy rain, she immediately found a towel to help her wrap it around, then went to cook the ginger soup and boil the bath water to drive away the cold.
In the morning, she only thought about Xiao Su's illness when she left the house. Along the way, her qinggong had reached its peak, and it had just started to rain, but the rain was very sparse, so she didn't get wet.
When she returned, she was not in a hurry. The rain was very tight, so naturally, she had been thoroughly drenched. Indeed, humans' limits could be activated under special circumstances.
”Right, where is Master?”
Ever since Yuxiong taught her some martial arts, Lu JinNian had not changed his way of speaking. Firstly, it was only right to call her Master since she deserved it. This would also save her the hassle of changing names between Mr. Yuxiong and Master.
