Chapter 1339: This Makes Sense
Fu Ying looked at him and was unable to reject him as she usually did. She thought that it would be good to let him leave the palace. If he was Fu Xu’s man, then he might have exposed something a long time ago. She said, “Remember to wear the mask.”
“You’re agreeing?!” Xue Wuhu was extremely surprised and jumped up. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll wear that mask! Definitely! Thank you! Then I’ll be leaving!”
With that, he carried the flag and dashed out.
He planned to leave the palace after he had placed the flag properly.
Originally, there were no more guards following Xue Wuhu every day, but now that Xue Wuhu was about to leave the palace, regardless of whether it was to protect Xue Wuhu’s safety or for any other reason, two more guards followed him. Those two guards were the same as Xue Wuhu, they had changed into ordinary clothes before leaving the palace.
Fu Ying felt that Xue Wuhu was a fool when he saw him thanking her. However, when she thought about how this was the real Xue Wuhu, she felt a little happy.
No one had ever treated her as innocently as he did.
Once Fu Ying’s decree reached the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites immediately began to make arrangements for Empress Dowager Minde to pray at the temple the day after tomorrow.
This was not a secret at all, so the Cloud Guards learned of it very quickly. They immediately sent a guard to the Heavenly Imperial Tavern to secretly report to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue their findings.
In a certain guest room of the Heavenly Imperial Inn, Xue Yan was sitting in front of a table, imitating Wufu Xue Wuhu’s handwriting, pretending that he was still in the Southern Camp, writing a few letters to his family.
All these years, Wufu would write a letter to the family every five days and ask someone to send it home. If he didn’t do this, his family would start to worry.
He had already written several letters on the way back and asked them to be sent back to his family on a certain day. Now, these letters would also be sent to Sifu. Sifur would send a letter to the family every five days so that the family would not feel that there was anything unusual about Wufu.
Jiang Yue was also sitting at the table. She didn’t do anything except watch. She peeled an orange and ate it while watching Xue Yan write.
This orange was taken from her space.
Fortunately, the yellow soil in the space was magical enough to survive. It could always maintain the orange in a fresh and mature state. It was fine as long as it was not plucked from the plant.
When she heard two rhythmic knocks on the door, which was the secret signal, Jiang Yue knew that it was the Cloud Guard or the secret guard. She put down the half-eaten orange in her hand, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and got up to open the door.
Coincidentally, Xue Yan had also finished writing the letter.
When the guard outside the door saw Jiang Yue open the door, he did not rush in. Instead, he looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He then hurried in and bowed before reporting in a low voice, “Beicheng’s Ministry of Rites has just received an edict from the palace. It says that Empress Dowager Beicheng Minde will leave the palace the day after tomorrow to pray for blessings. The Ministry of Rites was told to make preparations.”
Empress Dowager Minde?
The day after tomorrow?
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.
Why now?
Logically speaking, shouldn’t they wait until Fu Ying and Fu Xu’s secret battle was over and Fu Ying won? At that time, wouldn’t it be safest to leave the palace to pray?
So, did this mean that Fu Xu had Fu Ying’s weakness in his grasp, which was Empress Dowager Minde?
This made sense.
