Chapter 30

Shortly after the wedding, Liu Liang, the Nan country envoy was the first to leave, he didn't leave any impression from beginning to end. Even the day after he left, I thought about him and I couldn't even remember him clearly.

Then the next one to depart was Yan Yu.

Yan Yu was looking at Princess Changyi, I mean the Empress...that is me, with a look of disappointment, by now the rumors of the"Empress is not proper" have already begun to take off, and that the " Empress does not follow the virtues of women", different exaggerated rumors going around, so I had to pretend that I didn't know anything while sending him off. 

Liu Liang and Yan Yu successively left, and now the people of Bei country finally realized that something was wrong - the Emperor's relationship with the Empress seemed to be harmonious (seems to be especially harmonious), and it did not seem to have been shaken, but Wu Hao has still been delayed, which was really confusing for them.

I discussed with Wu Min Jun for a while and we decided to let him go. Wu Min Jun said that he would force him to give some information before releasing him to go back to Bei country.

In fact, there was no need for coercion. After all, Wu Hao has been locked up for so long. He should have figured it out by now that the manmade lake was an isolated area. If we come, he should obviously comply with what we ask, otherwise, he can only continue to suffer.

I agreed with Wu Min Jun's thoughts. At the same time, I also felt that Wu Hao, who was locked in the secret room was too pitiful. So Wu Min Jun and I chose a day and went to the manmade lake in the evening.

The moment the iron door was opened and light shined through, We could hear Wu Hao's weak voice: "Quick...let me out"

I was going to say: "Wait, we'll pull you up" - because Wu Min Jun said that the secret room cannot be known by others, so we came with a long rope and tied it to a tree, ready to pull him up.

Wu Min Jun spoke first before I could, teasing him: "Let you come up? You were so disrespectful to bengong, let's recount... does it look like I am bullying you?"

**(bengong means "this palace", it's a formal form of address used by royals - in place of "I" or "me")**

I:"..."

So evil, to phrase it like that...

I looked at Wu Min Jun, speechless, but Wu Min Jun smiled back at me, and then Wu Hao's voice came: "No, no, no, I can tell you the secrets of Bei country..."

I was stunned and wanted to say "good", but Wu Min Jun coldly answered: "What do you mean? Are you questioning the skill level of our Xi country? Do you have any secrets we don't know?"

I:"..."

Wu Min Jun continued: "Well, I'm estimating we have more than 20 people inside your Bei country's National Court, there are five or six who serve beside the Bei Emperor..."

Wu Hao: "...There are only two people serving at my father's side all the year-round..."

Me: "...Oh."

Wu Min Jun: "..."

"Do you know everything that goes on in his palace? Couldn't it be that you were kept in the dark?!" Wu Min Jun was angry. "Well, since you are questioning the level of our Xi country, then, you will continue to stay here. Let's go."

Wu Hao collapsed: "Ah--!!!"

I couldn't listen to it and shoved Wu Min Jun: "Don't bully him..."

As I shoved him, he slipped and fell straight into the secret room...

I:"..."

Wu Min Jun: "..."

Wu Hao: "...?"

The atmosphere was awkward... I looked at my own hands and wanted to cut them... Well, it was also Wu Min Jun's...

Suddenly, I heard Wu Min Jun: "cough... cough...Okay, in order to ensure that you cooperate, I personally came down to listen to what you want to tell us - I have shown sincerity, you must also show sincerity." "

I:"......"

This was also good.........

Wu Hao must have thought that the reason why Wu Min Jun would go in was that I arranged it like this, so he said, "Well, you must know everything. My father is already very old, and I hope to be able to conquer at least one city in Xi country. So, your General posted north of River City called General Du..."

Wu Min Jin impatiently and said: "Du Qiyan, right?"

"Yes, Du Qiyan... I took a heavy sum to bribe him, saying that when Bei country attacks Xi country, he should aid us and help us bring his army down, then he can fake his death." Wu Hao said, then fearing that no one would believe him, quickly added, "There's a reason for this! Du Qiyan likes the daughter of a small Bei country official on the border, but the relations between the two countries is not good, and her father will not agree, so for the beauty, he chose this! My father said that when he is finished, he can fake his death and sneak into our country, this way he can get the beauty and still "die" as a loyal official in the battle for Xi country."

Wu Min Jun quietly said: "Oh. Continue."

I sat outside, thinking, no wonder for a while now Wu Min Jun has been continuously receiving correspondence from the River city camp, it was because of this.

However, it seems that he's not surprised, what was going on?

Wu Hao thought for a moment and continued: "My father has decided to attack at the end of the month because, at that time, Xi country is going to be holding the yearly Spring Festival. When everyone gathers celebrating together, staying up all night, the soldiers will definitely be very tired..."

Wu Min Jun nodded: "Very well thought..."

Wu Hao continued: "And..."

Wu Min Jun interrupted him: "No need, and in fact, these things I... actually, the Xi Emperor already knows, isn't that right Xi Emperor?"

Me: "Ah? Ah...Yes!"

Wu Hao: "..."

Wu Min Jun impatiently asked: "Anything more secret?"

Wu Hao only replied: "I don't know... my father doesn't like me very much..."

Wu Min Jun said: "With you like this, if you were my son, I will not like you either."

Wu Hao; "..."

I:"..."

Then Wu Min Jun reached out and knocked Wu Hao out.

Me: "...You, why?"

Wu Min Jun tied the rope around Wu Hao's waist and shouted to me: "Pull him up first."

I laboriously started to pull Wu Hao up, and then Wu Min Jun grabbed the rope and used his Qingqong skill, I assisted as he came up sneering.

I couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to do?"

Wu Min Jun faintly said: "I will let him go, but not now, but it'll be too bitter to let him continue to stay here, so let's take him out and put him under house arrest, at least it'll be more comfortable."

"..." I hooked the corners of my mouth. "I thank you on behalf of Wu Hao..."

Wu Min Jun and I thought for a long time and finally came up with a place suitable for Wu Hao - the cold palace.

No one goes there now, it's lonely, we shut Wu Hao here, sent a few people to guard, and had food delivered occasionally, it was not bad.

However, I believe that Wu Hao seems to always think that I -- that is, Wu Min Jun, the emperor, is a broken sleeve. He will probably think that last time he was arrogant and lost the opportunity to return home, and now when he will wake up and find himself locked in Wu Min Jun's harem, in the cold palace, I think he will collapse.

**(LOL Poor guy)**

But...honestly speaking, whether it was the first time that Wu Min Jun threw him into the secret room, or later when I planned to let him go and ended up not doing it, or just now when Wu Min Jun and I planned to let him go but ended up continuing with his house arrest...Probably each time he brought it upon himself...

It was a result of his words and actions...

Wu Min Jun and I went back to the Emperor's palace, and I couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do with him?"

Wu Min Jun gave me a look: "Who? Wu Hao? Keep him for now."

"No, about Du Qiyan." I muttered. "He actually colluded with people from Bei country..."

Du Qiyan, I also know a little about him, he was considered one of the great men of Xi country and has guarded the Xi country faithfully, it will not be unreasonable to say he was most loyal. Who could have expected that he actually, for a woman...Ah, no wonder they say, a beauty can fall a city, a hero's downfall.

Wu Min Jun smiled and said: "Well... after this event, I will give him a good reward."

"?" I looked at Wu Min Jun confused, thinking that he was mad.

Wu Min Jun looked at me and said: "In fact, Du Qiyan's behavior - from the beginning, the love story with the girl in Bei country, is all my idea. He told me that a girl fainted at his door, he sent people to investigate and found that she was the daughter of a small official in Bei country and so wrote a letter to ask me what to do. I told him directly to pretend to be in love with her. Since the other party said that her father will not agree, he should show the willingness to do anything for her, meaning even treason, then the people behind the scenes will definitely surface to talk to him - if I did not guess wrong, it should be the Bei Emperor. If this is the case, he should pretend to struggle and hesitate, and then finally come up with something, struggling to promise."

I:"........."

Wu Min Jun continued: "After I guessed several possibilities, the Bei Emperor might make Du Qiyan become his subordinate - but this possibility was relatively small. After all, if Du Qiyan rebels in battle, he would be very miserable. So The Bei Emperor may make Du Qiyan play dead".

"If this is the case, I allowed Du Qiyan to agree and then told him to direct the soldiers of Bei country to a nearby woods to rest. They move in the daytime, so they have to hide to rest at night. There is a large forest on the edge of River city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people..."

"If the weather is good, then sneak a fire in the middle of the night and burn them all to death. If the weather is bad and it rains, then take them to the rocky hillside, push them down the hill in the middle of the night, and use the power of rain to kill all."

Wu Min Jun finally finished, smiled, and looked at me: "What do you think?"

I:"..............."

What do I think?!

I was speechless.....
