Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 321: Intelligence, Going Coyly...

This voice was sharp and piercing, just by listening a little, you would know who it was.

The soldier quickly turned around and saluted the newcomer, "Eunuch Xiao Chen, this humble one is guilty, I will let them pass immediately."

After speaking, he smiled obsequiously and made way for Qi Jingyu.

Qi Jingyu raised his little head, and entered with an arrogant stride.

The news of him coming to the grand assembly didn’t need additional reminders, as the palace had the most ears for the Emperor, and within a short time, Qi Yun had been informed and sent Eunuch Xiao Chen to intervene.

Ever since Eunuch Xiao Chen was set up by Long Yue, he had been doing errands and harbored some resentment, which was evident from how harshly he just yelled at that soldier.

After delivering the message, Eunuch Xiao Chen was about to return but unintentionally caught sight of a young man behind Qi Jingyu, finding his figure familiar.

He watched silently, feeling increasingly uneasy, and shouted sternly, "Stop right there!"

He rushed over and pulled Li Qingmu around, and upon seeing his face, Eunuch Xiao Chen was startled, coldly sneering, "Well, Li Qingmu, how dare you sneak in here? Hmph, the Emperor ordered you to go home and reflect, yet without the Emperor’s command, who allowed you to attend the assembly?"

This was disregarding the Emperor’s words!

This young man, how bold he was.

Li Qingmu motioned for silence, saying seriously, "Eunuch, I did not come here to deliberately defy the imperial will but because I received an important piece of intelligence that compels my presence here!"

"Hmph, what intelligence?"

Eunuch Xiao Chen, known as Chen Yan, along with Chen Zhong, were commonly referred to as the two Chens, the Emperor’s most trusted and capable eunuchs, so it wasn’t a problem to speak some words to him.

"Someone plans to harm the Emperor!"

"Preposterous!"

Chen Yan angrily shouted but immediately recognized the gravity of the matter and lowered his voice, "Cease such reckless talk! Even before the Emperor gets furious, our family will have you detained first!"

Chen Yan would usually refer to himself as a slave, but using his superior title this time showed his anger.

But he looked back at Qi Jingyu, seeing the boy’s calm expression, and felt a chill in his heart, perhaps there was a real issue?

He looked around, seeing people glancing this way, hastily said, "You follow the princely heir inside first! I’ll question you later!"

Saying this, he walked away directly.

Qi Jingyu turned and said, "Grandpa will find out about this; this is to remind him beforehand, so afterward, he won’t suspect us of having ulterior motives. Now let’s see how Grandpa handles this and if it aligns with our plan."

Li Qingmu nodded.

Their plan was to lure the enemy out and then capture them in one fell swoop, but doing so certainly came with risks, even threatening the Emperor’s life.

Thus, Li Qingmu had to inform Qi Yun of this news in advance.

Otherwise, using the Emperor’s life as bait just to catch some thieves, what was the intention here?

Purely for gaining credit before the Emperor with ill intentions!

This Emperor was terrifyingly clever, and at first, he might be grateful, but when he calmed down, he would figure out this flaw.

Therefore, Li Qingmu intentionally let Chen Yan notice him to patch up this flaw and ensure the Emperor’s safety.

Now everything was in order, just waiting for the east wind!

...

"A Shao, you stay outside, while Qingming and I go inside."

In the woods southeast of Shengjing City, Long Yue was riding fast and told Cao Xiao beside her.

They didn’t bring many people; apart from Long Yue, Cao Xiao, and Zifeng, there was a squad of twelve Cao Family Army soldiers. These few people were quite inconspicuous in the dense woods.

"It’s all forest ahead, dismount!"

The sound of hooves made too much noise, so as they entered the depths of the woods, they dismounted to walk, lest they draw attention from those people.

These Cao Family Army soldiers were battle-tested and were left by Cao Yin for Cao Xiao as protection. After dismounting, they immediately disappeared into the woods and hurried along winding paths to their destination.

Long Yue, along with Cao Xiao and Qingming, walked in the woods for nearly half an hour and arrived at the forest where the courtyard was located.

The entrance was quiet, with no guards in sight.

"I’ll knock."

Long Yue looked at the large door and squinted. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The last time she and Li Qingmu were here, they saw two burly men, one of whom was specifically sent to Xieji Restaurant to buy wine, and Li Qingmu said that he had seen that man before at the Tianxiang Pavilion brothel.

Thinking about this made Long Yue annoyed; how dare that scoundrel go to a brothel!

Long Yue squinted and revealed a sneaky smile, then went to knock on the door.

But Cao Xiao felt something was off about Long Yue, going directly to the door amounted to confronting them, no?

"Don’t worry, I have my way, just don’t tell my man; he’d go crazy!"

"Uh?"

Cao Xiao was taken aback, then saw her messing up her clothes a bit and even disheveling her hair.

Then her little face blushed slightly.

Cao Xiao was dumbfounded; was she planning to...seduce?

Indeed, that was Long Yue’s plan, which is why she told Cao Xiao not to inform Li Qingmu.

"Knock, knock, is anyone there? Is anyone home?"

Long Yue leaned against the door frame, her voice sounding sweet and coquettish, making anyone who listened feel their bones turn to jelly.

"Clang!"

A voice came from inside, like something porcelain had been broken.

"Hic... Who, who’s knocking?"

This sounded like a drunkard, and the voice was familiar, was it the guy who bought the wine?

Long Yue was stunned for a moment, then knocked louder.

"Help, sir, save this little one..."

Long Yue leaned against the door panel, continuing to act coy and coquettish.

Cao Xiao got goosebumps and couldn’t help but turn away, thinking, A Mu, your wife is so shameless, should I tell you?

If I tell, I’d be betraying my niece; if I don’t, I’d not be a true friend. I’m in such a bind!

"Creak!"

The door opened, and Long Yue fell into an embrace with a thud.

My goodness, what a strong smell of wine.

"Ah—"

But in just a moment, she cried out in surprise and bounced back, falling to the ground.

She looked up pitifully at the bearded man, "Sir, save me, someone is trying to kill me..."

At this moment, Long Yue’s hair was disheveled, her clothes were messy, and coupled with the redness of her cheeks and her soft, coquettish voice, it stirred endless imagination both visually and auditorily.

Especially after that bump, her body smelled fragrant and was soft; it was so enchanting!

The bearded man swallowed hard, staring at the crying woman on the ground, feeling a flame rolling in his throat, and his whole body filled with a rush of heat.

Especially since he had drunk...

Alcohol bolsters one’s courage!

"Heh-heh, little beauty, who’s chasing you?"

The bearded man licked his lips and stepped forward slowly, the fire in his eyes seemingly ready to devour Long Yue whole.

Long Yue quickly lowered her head and said charmingly, "A bad man wants to take me as his concubine; I refuse... Please, sir, save me!"

"Heh-heh, it’s okay, don’t be afraid, with me here, no one will bully you. How about you hide in my room?"

Long Yue looked up cautiously at the dark room behind the man, hesitating.

"Don’t be afraid, rest assured, big brother will definitely protect you well!"

"Then... alright, thank you, big brother!"
