C82 Deal (2/2)

The only person that could stir his emotions was that arrogant little Daoist.

”This humble subject only wants Luo Chen to leave the palace and disappear from the capital.” This was the idea he had in mind.

The emperor agreed without the slightest hesitation. The importance of the Aral Dawn Wood to Shangguan Wan had decided how quickly Nangong Yu would make this decision.

Actually, there was another reason. If Luo Chen stayed in the palace for one day, then the palace would no longer be at peace. Although Wei He had already closed his doors and thought for a while, it was unknown when he would 'make a comeback'.

If Luo Chen stayed, he would only be a disaster.

Just like this, the Emperor sent Qin Fei away and immediately ordered Little Lin, ”Send Luo Chen out of the palace and send me a message that he is not allowed to step foot in the Imperial City. Remember, this matter is temporarily kept secret and cannot be revealed to Princess Qi or else, I will ask you.”

Little Lin hurriedly nodded. ”Your majesty, don't worry. Your servant will do it right away!”

After saying that, he ran off like a wisp of smoke.

Although Lin Zi sometimes had a glib tongue, but he always put his heart into the things that he was instructed to do.

When Shangguan Wan heard about the deal between Nangong Yu and Qin Fei, she was unexpectedly calm.

According to Nangong Yu's thoughts, she could only blame himself for 'sacrificing' Luochen, even more so, for not negotiating with the 'evil' Imperial Advisor; he could only blame himself for 'sacrificing' Luo Chen.

But she didn't react at all. She simply answered, ”Yes.”

”What's wrong?” Nangong Yu was very curious. A woman's heart is like the bottom of the sea. However, it was hard to guess this woman's thoughts.

Shangguan Wan raised her head, looking at the bright moon in the dark curtain, and said lightly, ”That's good too, it's time to end this all. Just pretend that he's never been to the palace in the future.”

If Luo Chen hadn't met with Qi He, it would have been impossible for the two of them to have any feelings for each other. In the end, Qin Fei wouldn't have come to settle the score, and Wei He wouldn't have had to stab his master in order to avenge his beloved.

Everything would never happen.

Luo Chen was still the Taoist who was full of hope and believed that he could defeat demons; Wei He was still the unscrupulous princess who loved dogs, meddling in other people's affairs; and Qin Yue was still the Imperial Advisor who was as cold as ice and unfettered by the secular world.

He hoped that with the departure of Luo Chen, everything would return to its original point.

”This is also my intention.”

Shangguan Wan turned her head and asked seriously, ”Will Qin Fei's words be trusted?”

She didn't know Qin Fei very well. He had a charming face, but no one could understand the things he was thinking about.

Even the fact that he had fallen in love with his disciple was something that she could come up with after careful analysis.

”In my opinion, we can give it a try. After all, he's shrinking the scope right now.”

”Alright, I'll trust him this once.” Shangguan Wan answered frankly.

Qin Fei calculated that the Aral Dawn Wood might be in the royal study. Although the imperial study was not small and there was a lot of wood, it was much lighter compared to fishing for needles in the vast palace.

Nangong Yu thought of another matter and said, ”I wonder how Jing Li is doing.”

Chu Jing had left Song Mian, but so far, there had been no news of him. As such, he was a bit worried that something might have happened to him.

”Don't worry Your Majesty, he is a great general after all, and his martial arts are not bad, so there shouldn't be any problems. Let's wait for another ten days or half a month, if there's still no news, then send someone to look for him.”

”I'll do as the empress says.”

Because of his beloved wife's short words, Nangong Yu felt much more at ease with Chu Jingli.
