Chapter 826: Chapter 824_1

"The Fifth Princess is really something! She must be telepathically linked with Crown Prince Jiang! Fortunately, we haven’t informed the Fifth Princess that Crown Prince Jiang is still alive. Otherwise, no matter why the Duke of Zhen has suddenly strengthened his defense, our notification would have confirmed his suspicion. The journey of Zhao Yong escorting Crown Prince Jiang to the training camp would not have been peaceful!" Yang Liu exclaimed while brewing tea.

She then served the brewed tea to Xiao’er and Shangguan Xuanyi.

Shangguan Xuanyi picked up the teacup and examined it: the soup was green, curled like a snail. Bringing it to his nose, the fragrance of the tea filled his senses — this Biluochun tea was brewed to perfection. After taking a sip, he said, "Now is the time to let the Fifth Princess know."

Xiao’er was drinking jujube and goji berry tea, a health tonic. After taking a sip, she immediately understood what Shangguan Xuanyi meant. She nodded her head and put down the tea cup: "Right, it’s time to let the Duke of Zhen know."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Zhao Yong and the others quickly understood and nodded in agreement.

If the Duke of Zhen has sent people to monitor the movements of the Fifth Princess, then the Duke will naturally know as soon as the Fifth Princess learns that Jiang Yuheng is still alive.

Now, Jiang Yuheng has safely reached the private training base of the guardsmen, a place unknown to outsiders.

Shangguan Xuanyi has set up a formation in the base. Without a guide, it is impossible for outsiders to intrude.

Unless someone understands the formation better than Shangguan Xuanyi!

Jiang Yuheng is safe now. If the Duke of Zhen knows he is still alive, he will live in continual dread. As for what he might do, it doesn’t matter!

It’s not fear of his actions that scares us; it’s the fear of him doing nothing! As long as he takes action, we can seize him by his weaknesses!

If he takes action, we wouldn’t need to resort to assassination, but could bring him to justice in broad daylight!

The incident from ten years ago no longer has any evidence. Even in the court of law, he could claim that Jiang Yuheng falsely accused him for the position of the Duke of Zhen. Anyway, without evidence, nobody can trouble the other.

To match the Duke of Zhen in martial arts, Jiang Yuheng would probably need at least a year, and that’s only because Xiao’er secretly added the Immortal Lotus to his tea, otherwise, even a year might not be enough.

Of course, Xiao’er did this for the Fifth Princess. If Jiang Yuheng needs ten to fifteen years to master martial arts, the Fifth Princess would surely grow old and weary from waiting.

Life is short, and one can’t waste half of it on waiting!

Let the Duke of Zhen spend the year in constant fear. After the arduous, unbearable decade others have endured, he’s getting off easy by only suffering for a year!

Xiao’er suddenly had an exciting idea, "We can’t deliver the news of Young Master Jiang’s survival ourselves. Let the Fourth Prince’s associates do it! This way, we can mislead the Duke of Zhen into investigating the Fourth Prince for information on Young Master Jiang!"

The more Xiao’er thought about it, the more excited she became. "We should make Young Master Jiang’s whereabouts mysterious, secretly spreading rumors that he is appearing at various places. One moment there are sightings of him in the north, the next in the south, making him appear elusive. Then we can also clandestinely spread the news that he was saved by a martial arts master and has now become invincible. Let the Duke of Zhen worry so much he can’t eat or sleep properly! Just fearing that once he closes his eyes, he won’t see the sunrise the next day!"

Shangguan Xuanyi: "..."

Yang Liu: "..."

Zhao Yong: "..."

Yang Mei: The lady of the house must have forgotten to bring her brains when she got up this morning!

"Why are you guys staring at me like this? Is my plan no good?" Xiao’er asked, puzzled by their speechless expressions.

"Good!" Shangguan Xuanyi nodded, let her do as she pleases!

Although he thought that as long as the Fifth Princess got the news secretly, followed by the Duke of Zhen’s realization, he would definitely send people to investigate but fail to find Jiang Yuheng. Naturally, he would get flustered, and they wouldn’t need to do much. After all, too much intervention might lead to mistakes.

But since Xiao’er wants to mess with the Duke of Zhen to get back at him for Fifth Princess, why not let her have some fun!

Yang Mei and Yang Liu looked at each other without saying a word. They held a three-second moment of silence for their colleagues—having such a lady as their mistress and a master who indulges her to this extent, how much work would they have to do!

Zhao Yong, not as emotionally intelligent, didn’t realize that his master was indulging the mistress’ playful nature. He directly said, "The Duke of Zhen will definitely not find any trace of Crown Prince Jiang. That will keep him busy searching all over the place. And the fact that he will find nothing makes it all the more mysterious. That’s surely enough for him to worry about. We don’t need to do anything!"

Xiao’er: "..."

Does he know how to talk? Didn’t he see how excited, enthusiastic, and delighted she was?

A big bucket of cold water poured over her. All her passions are gone! He’s not afraid that she might become indifferent in the future, is he?

Xiao’er shot an angry glare at Zhao Yong!

Zhao Yong noticed Xiao’er’s vicious look and remembered that he had inadvertently upset her once earlier. He felt a chill run through him: "Well, the lady’s words were excellent, wonderful, and remarkable! ...I have been traveling for many days and am very tired, I will take my leave now!"

Under the increasing pressure of Xiao’er’s intimidating gaze, Zhao Yong could no longer continue. Deciding to choose the best plan out of the Thirty-Six Strategies— retreat!

After hurriedly bowing, he quickly exited the room.

There’s no way to handle this. If he offended the master, the lady could persuade him; but if he upset the lady, he would be offending two people and the master would not let him off!

"Yang Liu, Yang Mei, what do you think?" Xiao’er turned to them.

"We will fully support whatever makes Madame happy!" Yang Mei quickly replied.

Yang Liu nodded urgently, "I feel the same way!"

"That’s why girls are more considerate!" Xiao’er said contentedly.

Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at Yang Liu and Yang Mei, gesturing for them to leave.

The two quickly bowed and took their leave.

They just needed to follow the master’s arrangements for Crown Prince Jiang’s matter.

Only the two of them were left in the room.

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at the cup of tea Xiao’er abandoned after one sip. He tapped his index finger on the table next to the jujube and goji berry tea, signaling her to finish it.

Xiao’er’s face twisted like a bitter melon: "Brother Shangguan, I’m not thirsty!"

After drinking this every day, she was already sick of it! She felt like everything she ate had a hint of jujube flavor.

"Even if you aren’t thirsty, you still have to drink. This is beneficial for blood circulation and energy!" she had lost so much blood that it would take quite some time to recover, and she should drink plenty of tonic.

"I think my complexion is better than before. This proves that my blood and energy have recovered, and I don’t need any more supplements." Every meal, including her midnight snack, is a diet of blood-enriching food, she was scared!

"You don’t have to drink it, in that case, let’s discuss how you will tackle me!"

Xiao’er: "..."

She then silently picked up the jujube tea on the table and drank it all at once.
