He sat there with his eyes downcast, not saying a word. This was all Fu Wanqing's own fault, he couldn't blame anyone else!
"I heard that Fu Mingyu went to see His Majesty that day. Why didn't he fight for the position of Concubine Ping for his shameless daughter?" Ling Chuyao remembered that Fu Mingyu had gone to the royal villa to meet the emperor.
"Fu Mingyu doesn't want Fu Wanqing to enter Prince Su's Mansion at all, so naturally he won't fight for any position for Fu Wanqing!" Ling Qianxue spoke slowly.
"Why? Fu Wanqing has been given to Prince Su... Fu Mingyu doesn't want Fu Wanqing to enter Prince Su's Mansion, so where else can he let her go?" Ling Chuyao asked in confusion.
"Which father in this world would be willing to let his daughter marry his enemy?" Ling Qianxue asked back.
After a slight pause, Ling Qianxue continued, "Fu Mingyu could foresee what would happen after Fu Wanqing entered the Su Wang Mansion, so he rushed to see His Majesty in a hurry to stop Fu Wanqing from entering the Su Wang Mansion!"
"So in the current situation, is it that Fu Mingyu failed to stop it?" he asked.
"Yeah!" Ling Qianxue nodded.
"Your Majesty clearly knows that Mo Chenhao and Fu Mingyu are on their own and are not getting along with each other, yet he still ordered Fu Wanqing to enter Prince Su's Mansion. Why do I feel that Your Majesty did it on purpose!" There was a hint of gloating in Ling Chuyao's words.
"Consider it a warning from Your Majesty!" Ling Qianxue replied indifferently.
"Warning?" Ling Chuyao was puzzled.
"Although Your Majesty has not investigated it in detail, he knows in his heart that there must be some shameful motives hidden behind this matter. Your Majesty wants to tell Mo Chenhao and Fu Mingyu to put away those calculating thoughts. Since they dare to plot, they must be able to bear the consequences of failure!" Ling Qianxue explained, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"Will His Majesty guess that it was my brother..." Ling Chuyao began to worry when she heard Ling Qianxue say that the emperor knew that Mo Chenhao and Fu Wanqing had shameful intentions.
"It's okay!" Ling Qianxue said these two words calmly, without any sign of worry.
Firstly, Your Majesty would not make assumptions without evidence, and secondly, Your Majesty would soon be too distracted from thinking about these things.
Raising her eyes, she looked at Xiao Yu who had remained silent, and changed the subject. "Have you decided on the candidates for the consorts of the Seventh and Eighth Princesses?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu was stunned, somewhat surprised that Ling Qianxue would pay attention to such insignificant things.
Although he was surprised, Xiao Yu nodded and replied, "It has been decided. It is Ye Xun and Ye Rong from the Marquis of Wuding Mansion. His Majesty's decree will be issued soon!"
"Ye Xun and Ye Rong, the twins from the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion?" Ling Chuyao asked in surprise.
"Yes!" Xiao Yu nodded, "The seventh princess will marry her elder brother Ye Xun, and the eighth princess will marry her younger brother Ye Rong!"
"The Wuding Marquis' Mansion has two princes-in-law at once? The seventh princess and the eighth princess have become sisters-in-law?" Ling Chuyao still felt a little surprised.
"However, the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Princess have been good friends since they were young. They married into the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion together, so they don't have to be separated in the future!" Ling Chuyao changed her mind and felt lucky for the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Princess.
"Your Majesty probably feels that he owed the Seventh and Eighth Princesses too much in the past, so he put more thought into choosing consorts for them!" Ling Qianxue said
This sentence actually guessed the emperor's intention.
"But the two twin princes of the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion look exactly the same. If the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Princess marry there together, they won't confuse their princes-in-law in the future, right?" Thinking that Ye Xun and Ye Rong looked alike, Ling Chuyao couldn't help but worry that the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Princess would confuse them in the future.
"This won't work!" Xiao Yu on the side shook his head.
"Ye Xun and Ye Rong look exactly the same, how could they not get along?" Ling Chuyao asked.
"The Marquis of Wuding's Mansion was also afraid of confusing Ye Xun and Ye Rong, so since childhood, Ye Xun and Ye Rong have worn green and blue respectively. Therefore, even if outsiders cannot tell the two apart, they can tell who is who from the color of their clothes. Moreover, Ye Xun and Ye Rong have completely different personalities, one is calm and the other is lively. As long as they open their mouths, they can tell the two brothers apart!" Xiao Yu explained.
"Wearing clothes of different colors, it's a relief that the people in Wuding Marquis' Mansion could come up with such an idea!" Ling Chuyao couldn't help but find it a little amusing.
"Xiao Yu, prepare two gifts. After the imperial decree is issued, have Chuyao deliver them to the palace!" Ling Chuyao and Xiao Yu were talking about Ye Xun and Ye Rong, but Ling Qianxue suddenly spoke and gave Xiao Yu an order.
"Ah?" Ling Chuyao was surprised.
"What does the prince want to do with the Seventh and Eighth Princesses?" Xiao Yu asked speculatively.
"It can't be considered as using them, I just asked them to pass on a message!" Ling Qianxue replied indifferently.
"Send a message? What message?" Ling Chuyao looked curious.
Ling Qianxue raised a smile, "Don't you hate Mo Chenhao to death? Just do as I say when the time comes!"
"Okay!" Ling Chuyao said "Okay" very straightforwardly after hearing it.
As long as she can kill Mo Chenhao, let alone just going to the palace to deliver a gift, she will do anything!
……
"I offer tea to His Majesty!"
In the main hall of Prince Su's Mansion, Fu Wanqing, dressed in a pink wedding dress, knelt on the ground, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and offered it to Mo Chenhao.
Today is the day when Fu Wanqing enters Prince Su's Palace as a concubine.
Although she was said to have entered the palace as a concubine, the entire Prince Su's Palace was not decorated with red or colorful decorations, and there was no festive atmosphere at all, let alone a wedding banquet and guests. Fu Wanqing was carried into the Prince Su's Palace from the corner gate in a sedan chair. In such a situation, Fu Wanqing, a concubine, was actually worse than a concubine.
Mo Chenhao took the tea from Fu Wanqing's hand expressionlessly, took a symbolic sip, and put it down.
After Mo Chenhao drank the tea, Fu Wanqing stood up, turned sideways, took two steps, and knelt in front of Princess Su Qu, who was sitting next to Mo Chenhao. She took the tea from the maid and held it in front of Qu, "I serve tea to the princess!"
Qu, who was sitting next to Mo Chenhao, looked at Fu Wanqing who was serving her tea with a stern face, but she had no intention of taking the tea from Fu Wanqing's hand.
Today, Qu, in order to show her status as the queen, or perhaps to satirize Fu Wanqing who could only be a concubine, deliberately wore a bright red dress, which formed a sharp contrast with Fu Wanqing who was a concubine and could only wear pink but not red.
Qu stared at Fu Wanqing who was kneeling in front of her for a long time, until Fu Wanqing's hand holding the tea began to tremble. Then Qu slowly took the tea from Fu Wanqing's hand and took a sip.
"You take care of the rest!" Seeing Qu accepting the tea offered by Fu Wanqing, Mo Chenhao stood up directly, left a word to Qu, and walked out of the main hall.
As soon as Mo Chenhao left, the maid beside Fu Wanqing helped Fu Wanqing to stand up from the ground. However, when Fu Wanqing was halfway up from the ground, Qu said, "Did the princess ask you to stand up?"
Chapter 31: Deidara, Kimimaro, and Jūgo
In order to avoid being too conspicuous, Shao Jiaxuan deliberately did not drive this time, but hired a rickshaw to go directly to the Japanese restaurant next to the hospital. After arriving at the place, he first wandered around a nearby bookstore for a while, and only walked into the door of the Japanese restaurant slowly with a book in hand when it was almost time for dinner.
As soon as he entered the room, Shao Jiaxuan glanced at the diners around him, and after exchanging a glance with the liaison in the living room, he walked straight to the private room he often went to. After entering the room and sitting down, he put his briefcase beside him and gently pressed the bell on the table.
Jingle Bell……
A few seconds later, Li Mo, the liaison officer lurking in the Japanese restaurant, came to him enthusiastically.
"Doctor Shao, what would you like to eat today? We have some live fish just delivered from the river. Would you like to try one?"
Shao Jiaxuan smiled slightly upon hearing this and glanced at the time on his watch.
"Okay, then give me a live fish sashimi. Oh, and the other three are my regular dishes."
"Okay... Then please wait a moment. I will ask the kitchen to prepare it for you."
As he spoke, the liaison officer watched Shao Jiaxuan make a special gesture with his left hand and nodded in understanding.
……
Just like that, less than 20 minutes later, the contact officer Li Mo brought up the dishes ordered by Shao Jiaxuan one by one. When the last plate of live fish sashimi was just delivered to the private room, Shao Jiaxuan looked at the contact officer with an apologetic look on his face.
"I'm sorry, I have to go home for something urgent. Please help me pack all these foods. I want to take them back to eat."
"Haha... Dr. Shao, you are too polite. Please wait a moment. I will bring you a lunch box."
The liaison officer bowed and quickly left the box. A moment later, he returned carrying two food boxes.
The liaison officer walked forward with a top hat and began to help Shao Jiaxuan pack food boxes.
Seeing this opportunity, Shao Jiaxuan quickly took out a paper box from his suitcase and neatly placed it in an empty lunch box.
He quickly closed the lid and pushed the food box in front of the contact person, whispering:
"Li Mo... There is a telegram and a steel tape in here. The content is very important. You must try to get the comrades in the communications office to quickly send the contents of the telegram to a radio station that Lao Wu can receive, and then find a chance to send the tape out of the city and give it to him."
"Um……."
With a slight smile, the liaison officer Li Mo took the food box, nodded, stood up and bowed slightly.
"Don't worry, Doctor Shao. I'll send this lunch box to the hospital for you in a moment."
"Okay... I'll trouble you then."
After that, Shao Jiaxuan did not delay any longer. He left some tips and walked out of the Japanese restaurant with his lunch box. …
In the evening, in a guest room in the backyard of a tailor shop in the west of Yuncheng City.
After explaining the task assigned to him by Albatross, the liaison officer Li Mo lit a cigarette, picked up a blue cloth jacket on the table, folded it, and tucked it under his armpit.
"The situation has been quite tense recently. I won't come here again until Lao Wu comes back. Remember, you must send the information and things out as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Lao Wu told me how important your matter is before he left. I won't delay you."
Chen Guangen, the person in charge of the liaison station, patted Li
Mo's shoulder, he said confidently.
"Okay... I'll go out the back door, you come over and close it."
Li Mo's identity is very special. Although the people in the liaison station are also underground party members, he only sees Lao Chen every time he comes and has no contact with other people.
This was also a rule given to him by Lao Wu. Under normal circumstances, if Lao Wu was not around, Li Mo would never come to the contact station easily unless there were special circumstances.
Soon, after quietly seeing Li Mo off from the back door of the store, Chen Guangen went into the house, put away the things on the table, and then quickly walked to the front desk.
"Xiao Wang, go hang up the closed sign. We'll close early today. Dayong, go help Xiao Wang install the window guards."
The two young clerks who were sorting cloth on the counter seemed to understand something after hearing this. They nodded seriously, picked up a wooden sign beside them and walked out quickly.
The sign was hung and the shop was closed. The small tailor shop closed down early.
More than an hour later, as the sky became completely dark, Bai Guangen also set up a radio in the back hall of the tailor shop.
The intelligence sent by Li Mo was of the highest level, so in order to send it out as quickly as possible, Lao Chen finally chose to use the radio to send the intelligence directly to the higher authorities.
……
However, not long after Chen Guangen set up the radio front line and turned it on, a red light lit up on the large instrument in front of a Japanese technical officer in the telecommunications detection department of the Japanese garrison headquarters in Yuncheng.
"Report... Radio signals appearing in the city..."
As a signalman exclaimed, several other soldiers immediately turned up the power of the equipment to the maximum. After just a few dozen seconds, as the radio signal suddenly disappeared, a sergeant sitting in front of the instrument quickly stood up and trotted out of the office.
Not long after, with a burst of chaotic footsteps, the sergeant and two lieutenants returned to the house in a hurry.
"Adjust the instrument parameters and closely monitor all signals within this frequency band!"
"Hi……."
As soon as he came in, the leading captain started yelling at several Japanese soldiers in the room.
He nodded respectfully upon hearing this, and several soldiers began to operate the instrument, eventually stabilizing the signal light at a frequency.
"Houxi Moss... the approximate frequency of another strange radio station has been found, but the distance should be very far, and it is certain that it is not in the city."
Hearing this, the captain sneered.
