Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

84-85

Ji Yu Shu was silent for a moment before asking in a rare serious tone, "Shen Young Lady, this one do not understand one thing."

"Please speak."

"Shen Young Lady represent the Shen family to do business with me, are not you not afraid that there will be a day where I will want the Shen family to do dangerous things, and push the Shen family into where the wind and waves are the fiercest, making this deal not be such worthwhile?" Having said that, Ji Yu Shu stared at Shen Miao to pay attention to her expression.

Shen Miao did not blink and lightly said, "As for worrying about future difficulties, it would be better to worry about the problem on hand. If there would really be such a day, one can only say that it is my Shen family's fate."

Ji Yu Shu spoke with some doubt, "Really?"

"It is fake." In the secret room, Xie Jing Xing heard the movement at the other side and lazily said.

"Only Ji Yu Shu, that fool, would believe her words." Gao Yang said, "This girl's deceptive abilities is at the point of perfection. How is Ji Yu Shu her opponent?"

"No worries." Xie Jing Xing said leisurely, "Once boarded my ship, it is not so simple to get out."

When Shen Miao got up to greet Ji Yu Shu with her goodbye, Ji Shu Yu suddenly said, "Oh yes. Shen Young Lady, previously you requested of me to inquire about Young Lady Liu Ying, there seems to be some news. If Shen Young Lady is anxious, there could be a result in these couple of days."

However Shen Miao's reply made Ji Yu Shu shocked, Shen Miao said, "No rush. Manager Ji can slowly search and I can slowly wait."

After she left, Ji Yu Shu then shook his head and spoke as he walked into the house, "Truly a female who is more difficult to understand than Young Lady Shao Yao. At least Young Lady Shao Yao would be happy when she is given pearls, could it be that this one will be happy if one send her a human head?" He shuddered as he hurried into the house.

In the Palace.

In the Emperor's study, the memorandums on the desk were stacked way high. Emperor Wen Hui sat in front of the table with the report spread out but he did not take a single look. He had already reached the age of a cycle of sixty years, although he was hale and hearty, he had stepped into the passage of time and his temples had white spots. In this word, it was by large just a reincarnation, he had experienced the will and spirit of a youth, moments full of vim. That even though his strength was not there but the people that were looking at him saw an elderly and old tiger.

There would always be new tigers to inherit his position.

At this moment Emperor Wen Hui's expression was very serious. As he grew older, he became thinner but his skin was lax as if it was paste onto the bones, making it a strange elderly sight. When he spoke in a hoarse voice, one could vaguely hear the monstrous anger inside.

"Old Eleven really killed a guard that looked exactly alike to that assassin ?"

The two black clad men in front said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, the people caught was tortured. In addition, Prince Yu's trusted aide that was captured in the residence of the Prince of First Rank, had also personally admitted that a few days back there was a masked guard that was killed by the Prince of First Rank."

Emperor Wen Hui closed his eyes and threw his hand violently. The paperweight on the table flew out and clattered as it broke into a number of pieces. After a moment he laughed out coldly, "Old Eleven, Zhen really underestimated him."

There were numerous eyes and ears in the Palace. Concubines, officials and even the Empress use these eyes and ears to survive in the Palace. Whoever was able to gather more information, whoever would gain the decisive opportunity to win. The Emperor was no exception, only when his eyes and ears were everywhere, he would be able to sit more securely on this dragon seat.
