Chapter 201 Miss Yang's Preparations

Chapter 201 Miss Yang's Preparations
"I don't quite understand Miss Yang."

Peach Blossom sat at her desk, watching Mo Zheng write with a pen, and frowned.

Why did she get into Zhu Yunxiao's car?

He lowered his voice as he spoke.

"Do you know what happened? When Jiang Rui saw it, Miss Jiang's face was so pale she almost fainted."

She must have misunderstood.

At this point, Peach Blossom let out another "ee" and sat up straight.

"No, Miss Jiang will misunderstand you. After all, the things the maid did were all Miss's..."

She clicked her tongue twice.

"Now, young master, you will have to deal with Miss Jiang's tears."

As she finished writing on a piece of paper, Mo Zheng smiled and said, "I'm a young lady now too."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and rubbed her face lightly a couple of times.

"I can cry too."

Peach Blossom chuckled: "Alright, don't get your face smudged with the pen."

However, the young master, who had been disguised as a man since childhood, had indeed never cried.

Now that she's back to being a girl, she can cry as much as she wants. Peach Blossom pursed her lips, her eyes softening.

Mo Zheng put down her hand and pen and said softly, "According to Miss Yang's account of that life, Zhu Yunxiao was involved in the planning of events related to Miss Yang. To put it bluntly, it was destined that she couldn't avoid it. Moreover, I think Miss Yang didn't want to avoid it either. She died at Zhu Yunxiao's hands last time, and this time she will definitely take revenge herself."

Peach Blossom nodded, but...

"She wanted revenge, and this time it wouldn't be difficult. His Majesty listens to her every word; it's just a matter of a single sentence." She said softly, "The moment she spoke in the carriage, I really thought she was going to kill Zhu Yunxiao. But nothing happened, and she even took him with her to the Dali Temple..."

She looked at Mo Zheng.

"I don't know what to do."

Although Yang Luo had the emperor grant them the status of secret guards, making it easier for them to move around, Yang Luo also had many more secret guards sent by the emperor around him, so they no longer needed to follow him around all the time.

For example, going to Dali Temple.

Therefore, she had no idea what Yang Luo did or said when he took Zhu Yunxiao to the Dali Temple.

Mo Zheng looked at her and smiled: "Sister Peach Blossom, don't worry."

Peach Blossom pouted; the young master knew what she was worried about.

She wasn't actually worried about Miss Yang being hurt by Zhu Yunxiao; she was more worried about... the young master.

The young master is a member of the former imperial family.

Miss Yang also knows.

Miss Yang was previously wary of the emperor.

Miss Yang has now been reunited with her family, and her emperor father is treating her very well.

That father and daughter were of one heart...

If Miss Yang reveals the young master's identity to the emperor...

Just as Mo Zheng was about to say something, birdsong reached her ears, and Tao Hua instantly stood up.

“She’s back,” Mo Zheng said softly. “We’ll know what she’s up to soon.”

……

"Was Zhu Yunxiao actually acting under the orders of the Li family?"

As soon as Yang Luo entered the room, her face lit up with excitement as she told Mo Zheng about it. After hearing her speculation and Zhu Yunxiao's later admission, Mo Zheng nodded.

“I see. That’s exactly how it should be. I felt there was something wrong with his approach before, but now it makes sense.”

After saying that, he looked at Yang Luo.

"You suddenly thought of it, and then you exposed him in the carriage? Aren't you afraid he'll kill you?"

"Even though you're surrounded by many people, you're still in great danger if he attacks you while you're alone in the carriage."

“Miss Yang, although I know you are not afraid of death, please do not put yourself in danger because of the rubble.”

Yang Luo understood that A Sheng was worried about her; her actions this time were indeed too sudden.

She didn't inform Zhang Sheng and Tao Hua beforehand, so they didn't know she was exposing Zhu Yunxiao's secrets. If something really happened, they wouldn't be able to come to his rescue in time.

“I know, I will be careful. I’ve managed to survive until now,” Yang Luo said, explaining to Mo Zheng, “He’s a coward. He can risk other people’s lives for his future, but he would never be willing to die himself. Even if he had killed me, he would have been dead anyway, so he wouldn’t have taken the risk.”

I chuckled to myself as I said this.

“In his eyes, I am the rubble.”

Mo Zheng nodded and said no more. "Of course, I do want him dead," Yang Luo continued, his eyes filled with hatred, "but letting him die directly would be too easy for him."

"So you plan to..." Mo Zheng interrupted, "...use him for what purpose?"

Yang Luo looked at her and said, "Treat them as they treat you."

……

.......
In a Taoist temple outside the capital, bathed in the afternoon spring light, Zhu Yunxiao walked in.

"Young Master Zhu." The Taoist priest guarding the temple recognized him and hurriedly stepped forward to bow. "What brings you here today?"

"Is Master Wu here?" Zhu Yunxiao asked, taking out a prescription. "He prescribed medicine for Madam Jiang last time, and she has recovered well after taking it. I've come to ask for another prescription."

The Taoist priest took the prescription, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Young Master, please wait in the guest room. The Master and some friends are making rubbings of inscriptions. I'll go ask if it's convenient."

Zhu Yunxiao thanked him and went into a guest room as instructed. A young Taoist priest brought him tea. While drinking the tea, Zhu Yunxiao picked up the scriptures on the table and began to read. After a short while, the Taoist priest from before came to tell him, "The Master invites you."

Zhu Yunxiao walked towards the backyard and went straight into a room where Doctor Li Xuan, wearing a cloak and a rain hat, sat, looking at him with a slight frown and displeasure.

"Why did you come here so suddenly?" he said in a low voice. "Didn't I tell you not to come to where I am? The seal I gave you is not for you to use like this. If you need anything, just have someone leave a message at the Bamboo Forest Temple."

Zhu Yunxiao frowned slightly: "There is something important that I must tell you, sir." Before Li Xuan could speak, he continued, "I went to the Dali Temple today."

Li Xuan said indifferently, "What's the use of spending all day associating with maids?"

Although Zhu Yunxiao didn't mention who he went with, it was clear that even though he was sitting in the Taoist temple making rubbings of the inscriptions, Doctor Li knew about it.

Zhu Yunxiao didn't mind him staring at her and said in a low voice, "After the last assassination attempt, Miss Yang was frightened and didn't go anywhere except the National Academy and the Imperial City. She also didn't want to see anyone. I saved this maid's life during the last assassination attempt, and she trusts me a lot. Miss Yang trusts this maid a lot. By trusting her servants, Miss Yang's movements are under control."

Li Xuan glanced at him: "Your Highness is handsome and comes from an outstanding family, so it's easy for you to win a woman's heart."

“Other women are one thing, but a princess’s heart isn’t won over by looks or family background,” Zhu Yunxiao said.

That's true, Zhu Yunxiao is indeed clear-headed, Li Xuan smiled.

“I didn’t come here to talk about these things. My maid asked me to help her when I went to Dali Temple, which allowed me to notice something was wrong,” Zhu Yunxiao continued. “In Chai Du, people have free choice in what they eat, wear, and use.”

Li Xuan said calmly, "Even at the moment of execution, the emperor will treat this brother-in-law kindly."

“No, I think His Majesty no longer suspects Marquis Yichun.” Zhu Yunxiao said in a deep voice, “That maid told me that His Majesty and Marquis Yichun reached a deal. Chai Du will give up half of the military power of Gaoyang Army. And this so-called investigation of Gaoyang Army is to investigate the accomplices of the deputy general who reported Chai Du. The maid was indignant about this, so she asked me to go to Dali Temple to describe the assassin again, hoping that Dali Temple would believe that it was Marquis Yichun who ordered it.”

Marquis Yichun must already know that someone is targeting the Chai family. He is giving up military power to prove his innocence. Li Xuan seemed thoughtful. It was alright, not unexpected, and within expectations.

Zhu Yunxiao's voice came to my ears.

"Also, when I went in, I saw that the Dali Temple was checking people and arrested an old servant."

what!
Li Xuan suddenly stood up and pulled off his hood.

……

.......
"The execution of the servant from the Ji family who was helped by the old handyman to deliver the message was our idea to His Majesty. The purpose was twofold: first, to appease the Marquis of Yichun and coax Chai Du back; and second, to stabilize the Li family."

Yang Luo said.

Because Mo Zheng's people had already investigated the old servant at the Dali Temple and found out that the servant was backed by the Li family.

At the time, they were worried that Lady Li would kill the old servant and his grandson, and they didn't want to take the old servant away, lest they alert her. So Mo Zheng asked Yang Luo to give the emperor a suggestion.

Of course, at that time, the matter had not yet been told to Emperor Li.

Now that the emperor knows, there's no use keeping this old servant; he can be used as bait.

"Have Zhu Yunxiao leak this information to the Li family." Mo Zheng said "Oh," and looked at Yang Luo, "Is this to force the Li family to take further action?"

Yang Luo said, "Or rather, if I were to take action against the Li family, and you told me that those assassins in the palace were also from the Li family, I wouldn't want to wait any longer."

She looked at Mo Zheng.

"This time it's my turn to take action against them."

Mo Zheng understood: "Is this what you wanted to tell me this morning, but Ling Yu interrupted you?"

Yang Luo nodded and said softly, "Asheng, you've always faced these dangers for me. This time, I want to fight back myself. Is that alright?"

Mo Zheng smiled: "Of course." Then she raised an eyebrow, "So, this time, will you be having Zhu Yunxiao as your bodyguard?"

Ah Sheng is so smart, no plan can be hidden from her, and Yang Luo didn't intend to hide anything from her either.

“What kind of guard is he?” she sneered. “I just don’t want him to die easily; I want to make the most of him.”

After saying that, he looked at Mo Zheng.

"Moreover, with you here, I dare to do this with peace of mind."

Mo Zheng nodded: "Okay, I'm here, don't worry."

Yang Luo smiled happily and let out a soft sigh of relief.

Ah Sheng is too soft-hearted.
