Away from Anhou Mansion.

Study Secret Room.

"Without the permission of the son, the subordinates built this secret room on their own initiative, and I hope the son will not be strange."

"It's just that my subordinates feel that with such a secret room, it will be more convenient and safer to meet Tianshu or Tianyuan in the future."

Cao Zi'an slowly came behind Li Wuji, bowed his hand, and said respectfully.

"I originally meant this, but there have been too many things recently, and I forgot to remind you for a while, how can I blame you?"

"Don't worry about it, it's very much to my liking here, it's hard work, old Cao."

Li Wuji turned around with a smile and said approvingly.

"It's good if Childe is satisfied."

Cao Zi'an smiled embarrassedly and said.

"What happened to my corpse hanging from the city gate?"

Li Wuji hesitated for a moment, sat on the chair behind the bookcase, and asked lightly.

"Childe guessed right, the empress really wanted to use the corpse as bait to lure the old man to appear, and Tianshu secretly found that the people of the Five Elements Division were monitoring the corpse at all times."

"However, the subordinates have already informed the people in the abyss in the capital and ignored them."

"As for the people of Qingxuanmen, they have never shown up, they have disappeared for many years, and they have also fought with the empress for many years, so they should not be easily fooled."

"As soon as the seven-day period passed, the corpse was taken away by the Five Elements Division."

Cao Zi'an arched his hand and said respectfully.

"Good."

"However, regarding Qingxuanmen, I still have to find a way to get in touch with them as soon as possible, if I want to overthrow the imperial power, with their help, I should be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

Li Wuji nodded and said thoughtfully.

"The subordinates understand that now not only Tianshu, but also the subordinates have also ordered the people in the heavenly abyss to secretly inquire about their news."

"It's just..."

Cao Zi'an frowned, and stopped halfway through speaking, his face a little solemn.

"If you have something to say, say it."

Li Wuji glanced up and said slowly.

"This time the golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell, although it is seamless, but I am afraid that the matter of Gongzi killing the emperor and grandson of the previous dynasty will also be confirmed, if the people of Qingxuanmen know about it, they will inevitably come to Gongzi for revenge!"

Cao Zi'an said with a worried face.

"I'm just going to let them come to me for revenge."

Li Wuji pursed his lips and smiled, and said nonchalantly.

"What?"

Cao Zi'an was stunned for a moment, his face full of surprise.

"You have said it, they have disappeared under the suppression of the empress in recent years, and their whereabouts are unknown, if they know that their master was killed by me as soon as he came out of prison, they will definitely come back to the rivers and lakes!"

"Since we can't find them with all our might, let's let them show themselves."

Li Wuji smiled and said confidently.

"But it's too dangerous, what if they don't listen to the explanation and hurt the son?"

Cao Zi'an asked worriedly.

"Isn't there Lu Yuan by my side, with him, ordinary people can't get close to me at all, what's more, I'm not a powerless person, it's not so easy to kill me."

Li Wuji smiled and waved his hand, and said soothingly.

Hearing Li Wuji say this, Cao Zi'an was a little relieved.

"Find a way to spread the news that I killed the emperor and grandson of the previous dynasty, and also inform Dillon, let Tianshu also participate, it is best to let everyone in the world know that I am the murderer who killed the rebellious ministers and thieves with my own hands."

Li Wuji paused and said slowly.

"Huh? Son! Why? ”

"Once the world knows about it, I'm afraid that there will be more than just Qingxuanmen coming to the door at that time, and I can't help but let anyone be worried about what happened back then, isn't this causing trouble?"

Cao Zi'an was stunned again and asked with a puzzled expression.

"That's what I want, the more people who assassinate me, the better, because only in this way will the empress be at ease with me, and Li Jingyao will be more important to me."

Li Wuji narrowed his eyes and said solemnly.

Listening to Li Wuji's answer, Cao Zi'an frowned, and finally realized the deep meaning of Li Wuji, and swallowed back all the words he wanted to continue to dissuade.

"Childe, Taiqing is here, he has already entered the front yard and is rushing to the study!"

At this moment, Lu Yuan appeared at the door of the secret room and said with a bow.

"I can't help but think."

"Let's go, come with me to meet you."

Li Wuji couldn't help laughing, and slowly walked out of the secret room while getting up.

Cao Zi'an sighed, didn't say anything more, followed out quickly, pressed the mechanism, and closed the secret room.

"Childe?!"

"Departure?!"

As soon as Li Wuji walked out of the study, he heard Li Jingyao's shout from a long distance.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Li Jingyao coming with two people quickly, and came to Li Wuji in a hurry.

"I've seen Your Highness."

Li Wuji smiled and bowed.

"You're finally back!"

"How? How is the injury getting better? You okay? ”

Li Jingyao helped Li Wuji up, looked up and down and asked, his face full of worry.

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, the injury has recovered, there is no major problem, His Royal Highness Lao came to visit the mansion in person so late, I should have entered the palace to ask His Highness for peace."

Li Wuji shook his head and said gratefully.

"You personally committed a risk for this palace, and you finally came back today, how can this palace not come to see you?"

"Oh, by the way, this palace also brought the palace imperial doctor, hurry up and let him check it, and the palace can rest assured after checking."

Li Jingyao glanced at Li Wuji with false reproach, and then immediately called an imperial doctor who followed her to the front, and directly diagnosed Li Wuji in front of the door of the study.

Li Wuji smiled bitterly, and did not shirk, and let the imperial doctor diagnose.

"Back to His Royal Highness, Anhou's pulse is stable, and the injury is no longer serious, but he is slightly cold, and his body is weak, it should be an old disease, and he can only recuperate."

"I will prescribe a prescription now, as long as Master Hou takes it on time."

After a moment, the imperial doctor turned around and saluted Li Jingyao and said respectfully.

"Okay, well, then the palace will rest assured."

"Childe, don't you know, these days when you are not in the capital, how worried this palace is about you, fortunately, you have returned safely, otherwise this palace will not be able to forgive itself no matter what."

After hearing this, Li Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief, took Li Wuji's hand, and said with a look of self-reproach.

"It is a blessing to be so valued by His Royal Highness, and I am grateful."

Li Wuji nodded, still full of gratitude.

"You have made a great contribution this time, this palace will never treat you badly, even Your Majesty has praised you, you can rest assured, wait a few days, the reward should come down."

"Although you are not above the temple, since you have made meritorious contributions, there is no reason to be unrewarded."

Li Jingyao patted Li Wuji's hand and said earnestly.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Wuji took advantage of the situation to withdraw his hand, bowed, and said respectfully.

At this time, someone from the house came to report, saying that the meal had been prepared and could be eaten, so Li Wuji invited Li Jingyao to go with him.

At the banquet, the two sat opposite each other, because they were unable to drink alcohol because they had just recovered from Wuji's injury, so they replaced the wine with tea and changed the cups, and the relationship was much closer.

But how much sincerity there is, I'm afraid only the two of them know it in their hearts.

...

Two days later.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived, and the entire capital is immersed in the joy of a festival, with lights on the streets, and a grand lantern festival.

The atmosphere of the festival is strong, and it seems that people have temporarily forgotten what happened some time ago, and the turbulent capital has returned to calm.

Li Wuji didn't go to any lantern festivals, but just called everyone to the Hou Mansion to prepare for a reunion dinner together, which can be regarded as letting everyone contact and connect with each other.

Every festive season, thinking of one's own origin and origin, it is inevitable that I will feel a little lost.

The grace promised by Li Jingyao was also sent to the Hou Mansion on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the empress specially issued a decree to praise Li Wuji's merits, and also rewarded some brocade gold and silver, and Li Jingyao was even more generous, sending a large number of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold and jade vessels, almost able to fill a warehouse.

But for these rewards, Li Wuji didn't take a second look, but after receiving the order of thanksgiving, he ordered people to throw all these things into the warehouse.

In the main hall of the front yard, everyone was talking and laughing, pushing glasses and changing glasses, the wine was brewed under the supervision of Li Wuji, and the dishes were specially made by the chef of Ziboju.

During the festive season, the wine and food are in front of everyone, and everyone is immersed in joy.

Only Li Wuji sat on the main seat, looking a little distracted, recalling how he spent the last Mid-Autumn Festival.

But there are only memories left, and there is no going back.

"Childe, you've just recovered from your injuries, so it's better to drink less."

Cao Zi was careful and noticed the abnormality of Li Wuji, so he reminded him in a low voice.

"Okay."

Li Wuji came back to his senses, barely squeezed out a smile, and slowly agreed.

"Brother, seeing that your face is full of sadness, is there something on your mind?"

Pang Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to Li Wuji, also found out, so he asked with concern.

"No, I just think that everything today is hard-won, and it is all the credit of everyone to have today, and I salute everyone."

Li Wuji retracted his thoughts, smiled, and slowly picked up his wine glass and said.

Hearing Li Wuji's words, everyone present respectfully raised their wine glasses, and after Li Wuji took a sip, they all raised their heads and drank it all...
