Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 751 Harm The Emperor

Lei Wanxi poured the tea and forwarded it to Wu Qinyang. "Welcome back, Miss Wu Qinyang," Lei Wanxi said with a smile. He looked at the sword on one side of the sash and told her to put it aside.

Wu Qinyang put the sword on the table.

"How is Prince Wanxi doing?" Wu Qinyang asked.

"I am well," Lei Wanxi answered. "Miss Qinyang can see the glow on my face."

She ended up smiling and picked the teacup. She sipped the tea and said, "Prince Wanxi is still enjoying his life as he has wished for."

"Indeed. I will soon be a married man," Lei Wanxi informed her.

"I heard about it. I am happy for Prince Wanxi," Wu Qinyang said gladly and put the cup on the table.

"What about Miss Wu? When will she get married?" Lei Wanxi asked her.

"When my Father will tell me to," Wu Qinyang replied.

Lei Wanxi nodded his head and sipped the tea.

"So, why did you come to Luoyang? I had sent you the letter where I mentioned that you did not need to work as a spy anymore," Lei Wanxi reminded her.

"I received that message. However, I have to come. I learned about the situation in Changying. I investigated the matter and found out a strange thing," Wu Qinyang affirmed. "I thought to inform the Emperor about it," she stated.

"Brother Sheng is in Changying. It is unknown to outsiders," Lei Wanxi said. "So, what have you found out?" He queried her and sipped the tea, before putting the cup on the table.

"The Governor of the Eastern Province is behind it," Wu Qinyang answered.

Lei Wanxi was startled to hear about it. "Governor Mingze is the one who sent the message to Brother Sheng. Why would he do this? Also, he has gone to battles with Brother Sheng." He was not ready to believe that Mingze could do this, but he trusted Wu Qinyang too.

"Are you sure?" Lei Wanxi asked again to confirm.

"Yes, Your Highness. I brought evidence with me." She took out two folded pieces of the papers and forwarded them to Lei Wanxi, who opened them.

"These are the exchanges of messages between Lian Zoumu, who's behind gathering the people in his favor. I could not collect more as it could raise their suspicions," Wu Qinyang informed the Sixth Prince.

"Where did you find these exchanged letters? It might be risky," he said with a concerned expression.

"I entered Lian Zoumu's place which is in Yeosu town, adjacent to Changying," Wu Qinyang stated.

Lei Wanxi was impressed to hear her. "You did not get hurt. Am I right? I heard Lian Zoumu has captivated some women from low-rank official families." As a woman, it would have been riskier for Wu Qinyang to enter his place. "Does he have a harem of women?" He then asked.

Wu Qinyang shook her head. "I entered disguised myself as a man. Governor Mingze wants the Eastern Province to be ruled independently. He has even a force prepared. He wants to harm the Emperor. That's why I came here to inform His Majesty to not leave Luoyang," she informed everything that she knew.

Lei Wanxi got tensed to hear it. "Brother Sheng is in danger then. I need to inform him about it," he stated.

"I will do it," Wu Qinyang offered her help. "However, I do not know where the Emperor is residing. The Emperor isn't in the Governor's residence because two days ago, I had sneaked in there too," she affirmed.

"I also do not know about it. Brother Nianzu might know. He is the one who had gone earlier to Changying," Lei Wanxi stated. "I will ask him and then inform you about it," he assured her.

"Prince Wanxi, I need to arrive at Changying by this evening. If Mingze found out the Emperor's location, then something worse can happen," she said with a worried look.

"You are right. We cannot delay it. Let's go and meet Prince Nianzu," Lei Wanxi said and the two rose to their respective feet.

Arriving outside the chamber, Lei Wanxi asked Eunuch Chung if he could inform Nianzu that an urgent matter had to be discussed with him.

Eunuch Chung bowed and walked in. After a minute, he came outside with Nianzu, who was surprised to see Wu Qinyang. She promptly greeted him by bowing her head.

"Follow me," Nianzu told them and they left for a private chamber.

They took seats and Nianzu asked them about the matter. Lei Wanxi narrated the entire incident to Nianzu, which Wu Qinyang had informed him.

"Is it true? Mingze is loyal to Brother Sheng and if he's turned against him, then it is indeed worrisome," Nianzu stated while looking at Wu Qinyang.

"Brother Nianzu, Miss Wu's spying abilities cannot be doubted," Lei Wanxi showed his faith in Wu Qinyang.

"Then, I will talk to Brother Zemin and General Wang. They are the ones who will make the appropriate decision. Miss Wu shall not go to Changying. Either Brother Zemin will leave or I will go," stated Nianzu. "Nothing will happen to Brother Sheng. Thank you Miss Wu for doing such incredible work for us."

"It is my duty towards the Emperor of Han," Wu Qinyang replied.

"Brother Nianzu will soon become a father, Miss Wu," Lei Wanxi shared the good news with her. She congratulated Nianzu, who thanked her for the humble wishes.

"Miss Wu shall take a rest. She had come from such a long journey," Nianzu opined when Lei Wanxi told his brother that he would show the guest-chamber to Wu Qinyang.

As they came out of the private chamber, Wu Qinyang said, "I would like to meet the Empress too if it is possible for me."

"Miss Wu, it is not advisable to tell the Empress about this. She might take stress which is not good for her," Lei Wanxi stated.

"I want to meet her for the other reason. I want to greet her," Wu Qinyang said.

"Oh, that's great. Please follow me," Lei Wanxi said and they left for the Northern Palace.
