Chapter 354 - Meeting of 354Su Lei felt that it was true as well. Although Wei Yuanwei told her not to tell him anything, she felt that it was better to tell Li Chu this matter: "The Evil King in Evil King"s Mansion is not the real Xie w.a.n.g, I saw it in a slip of paper that Wei Guanshu hid in her storage ring, as if she wanted to tell someone, and after hearing what Wei Guanshu said today, it seems like the Miss Wei is pregnant. Evil King also found the Miss Wei, but the Miss Wei made a request for Wei Guanshu to leave the palace tonight.
Su Lei"s spoken words weren"t very clear, but Li Chu more or less understood what she meant.
Su Lei had pretended to get close to Wei Guanshu just to get information from her. In the end, Wei Guanshu had been completely unprepared and allowed Su Lei to get the information he had just mentioned in an instant.
Especially the matter of Wei Yuanwei"s pregnancy, it completely shocked Li Chu.
He had been together with Wei Yuanwei for such a long time, yet he did not sense anything amiss. Furthermore, Wei Yuanwei was infected by poison, so Xie w.a.n.g could not touch him.
This was very possible that Wei Guanshu had lied to Su Lei on purpose, but it was true that Xie w.a.n.g had found Wei Yuanwei, but Wei Yuanwei really didn"t want to come back.
"Are you saying that Wei Guanshu had hidden this important information inside her storage ring and was preparing to send it out?" Li Chu thought about it carefully, it seemed like there was someone behind Wei Guanshu.
At first, Wei Yuanwei only thought that Wei Guanshu wanted to obtain the position of consort, and even more, but now, it seems that she wanted more than that.
Su Lei nodded her head strongly. She had been staying in the Duke Palaces in a muddled state, especially when she was with Wei Guanshu. Although Wei Guanshu had a nice face, her thoughts were extremely vicious and evil, so she could only pretend to agree to Wei Guanshu"s scheme.
In fact, Wei Guanshu"s words sounded so nice. Even if everything was successful, how could Wei Guanshu let her off?
"I"ll bring you to find a place to stay first. Remember, you must show your face in the next few days, and don"t let anyone see your face!" Li Chu gave a detailed warning, then brought Su Lei and left the alley.
Wei Guanshu and Liu"er were wearing a black cloak as they rushed towards the p.a.w.nshop. By this time, the p.a.w.nshop had already closed for a long time, so Liu"er forced open the door.
Once Wei Guanshu entered, she immediately asked the shopkeeper inside about the ring she wanted to p.a.w.n today.
She hoped that the p.a.w.nshop"s storage ring hadn"t been delivered to Zhong Lixian"s place yet.
However, Zhong Lixian had secretly set up this p.a.w.nshop to gather information, so it was easy to communicate with them. Once they received the news, they would naturally send it to Zhong Lixian.
Hearing that, Wei Guanshu"s face turned pale. With Zhong Lixian"s intelligence, she was sure that the person who pretended to be Yun Xie was Mu Jin.
If he found out that the fake Yun Xie was Mu Jin, then as long as Zhong Lixian revealed the news to Southern Yue, the Emperor would definitely send a.s.sa.s.sins to kill Mu Jin without any effort. He would deal with Mu Jin and even start the war between Southern Yue and Eastern Chu in order to kill Mu Jin.
He was the former crown prince of Southern Yue, how could the current emperor of Southern Yue let him go?
Wei Guanshu had already predicted that Mu Jin would be ambushed and a.s.sa.s.sinated when this news reached Zhong Lixian"s hands.
Zhong Lixian would even use this news to threaten Mu Jin. It could even be said that this news was trying to take Mu Jin"s life.
When Wei Guanshu walked out of the p.a.w.n shop, her expression was extremely downcast. Why didn"t he let her know Mu Jin"s true ident.i.ty earlier?
And why was she so anxious to spread the news out in such a short time? If she waited until the next day to pa.s.s on the news, then everything would have changed.
Truly, she didn"t want Mu Jin to die. In her heart, Mu Jin was a G.o.d-like existence. She had been looking forward to it for a long time, and even in her dreams, she was still thinking about Mu Jin.
When she found out that Mu Jin had died, she was even more heartbroken than when she found out that Yun Xie had burnt himself.
However, Mu Jin was standing right in front of her, and she was going to personally send her to h.e.l.l.
"Miss, shall we go back?" Liu"er did not understand why Wei Guanshu was so absent-minded, nor did he understand the mysteriousness of her miss"s visit to the Duke Palace.
But she knew she couldn"t ask.
Wei Guanshu lowered her eyes and walked toward the direction of the Duke Palace with a heavy heart.
At this time, Li Chu, who was at the side of the road, suddenly stopped in his tracks, and looked sharply at the two figures in front of him.
"What"s wrong?" Su Lei looked towards Li Chu"s direction, and could only vaguely see two figures.
"That"s Wei Guanshu!" Li Chu"s bright eyes had been following Wei Guanshu the entire time. Even though they were still quite a distance away from Wei Guanshu and it was dark, Li Chu could tell at a glance that it was Wei Guanshu with just one glance.
Su Lei was a little surprised. When she looked over, the two of them had already merged into the darkness.
"You said that Wei Guanshu hid the slip of paper inside her storage ring, but she actually walked out from a p.a.w.nshop just now!" Li Chu looked thoughtfully at the p.a.w.nshop that had just extinguished the candle flame.
It was very possible that Wei Guanshu had p.a.w.ned the ring with the slip of paper inside the p.a.w.nshop, and it was very clear that the p.a.w.nshop was not just ordinary p.a.w.nshop, but rather used to pa.s.s on messages.
Wei Guanshu suffered the pain of being burned by fire poison, and for the sake of her appearance, he had to endure the suppression of placenta. Although the Duke Palaces would also give him some silver, occasionally Wei Guanshu would p.a.w.n her jewelry.
Even though Wei Guanshu had done it in secret at that time, Wei Yuanwei had still sensed it.
However, what they absolutely did not expect was that during the process of Wei Guanshu selling her jewelry, she had actually secretly spread the news about the Duke Palace to other people.
Li Chu did not even need to guess who the messenger was.
Everyone thought that the Princess Xi Ya was a chess piece that Zhong Lixian had placed down, but who would have known that in order to get the position of the princess, Wei Guanshu had actually colluded with Zhong Lixian.
No, since Wei Guanshu had told Zhong Lixian such an important piece of news, it meant that Wei Guanshu did not want the position of w.a.n.gfei at all!
When Li Chu thought about it, he felt that Wei Guanshu was just too terrifying.
If she didn"t want to become an imperial concubine, then what did she want?
Since the two of them were working together, then Wei Guanshu had to get something from Zhong Lixian, unless Zhong Lixian forced him to do so and had some kind of secret information in her hands.
