Chapter 916: Chapter 915: Hidden Danger
At the same time, Ah Jiu also heard from Wufu about the mischief she had done with Chi San, and looked at her in shock.
"What’s wrong?" Wufu asked, "Did I provoke someone I shouldn’t have?"
Ah Jiu shook his head and said, "I’m just curious about how your mind works." How did you come up with such a deviously tricky way to mess with people?
Wufu yawned, lazily leaning on the welcoming pillow in the carriage, and said, "It’s just using what’s available. Besides, don’t you think this is something so bad it will be engraved in memory forever?"
"It is indeed unforgettable!" Ah Jiu thought of that scene.
If someone who loves cleanliness encountered this, they might never overcome this nightmare in their lifetime. Even if not, I’m sure after tonight, Wang Hao will become extraordinarily obsessed with cleanliness and won’t be able to stand hearing the word ’shit’ anymore!
The image is too beautiful to contemplate!
Wufu huffed, "If you can’t handle it, you’ll have to put up with it. With such a small-minded chest, shouldn’t I have avenged myself?"
Ah Jiu glanced at her, "As long as you’re happy."
Wufu smiled, then sighed, "This imperial city is my battlefield."
"Oh? How so?"
"You see, I’ve only been here a few days, and I’ve already encountered people related to the Wu Family. I feel this is just the beginning!" Wufu squinted slightly.
Ah Jiu said, "After all, the other side is in the open, and you are in the shadows."
"But they have high status and power. It’s said that a legitimate daughter of the Marquis Yongan’s Mansion entered the palace as a concubine. With such a niece, Eldest Lady Wu must feel quite confident." Wufu said.
Ah Jiu’s expression became somewhat subtle upon hearing this.
"What’s wrong? Is there something amiss?" Wufu noticed and asked.
"Do you know the reason Consort Rong is favored?" he asked, sipping tea.
Upon hearing this gossip, Wufu immediately leaned closer.
Seeing this, Ah Jiu smiled, coughed lightly, and said, "This spring, the Emperor of Nanyue received a fine elixir. It’s said that after taking it, he felt full of energy. And, it just so happened that he met Miss Wang who was visiting Her Majesty the Empress in the Imperial Garden with her mother... The Emperor of Nanyue felt he regained his confidence and vigor with her, so he favored her for a while."
Wufu’s mouth twitched, "Was it really such a coincidence?"
"Whether it’s true or not, only those involved would know." Ah Jiu said indifferently, "In such places, schemes and dirty plots abound, who knows what’s really going on?"
Wufu asked, "That Emperor of Nanyue is also half an old man by now, right?"
"This year he’s nearing the age of knowing fate, so he’s increasingly pursuing the path to immortality." Ah Jiu mocked.
Wufu clicked her tongue twice, "And Miss Wang can still stomach that old bull? Not afraid of breaking her good teeth?"
"In the face of wealth and prosperity, what is age?" Ah Jiu chuckled.
"So, if we really go up against that Wu family, that Eldest Lady Wu might also confront Consort Rong?" Imperial Concubine, how scary.
"Don’t be afraid. Elixirs, what real immortality can they provide? Medicine is three parts poison; the more the Emperor of Nanyue takes, the more virile he becomes. If something happens, well..."
Wufu shuddered, "Extermination of the nine clans?"
Ah Jiu nodded, "It’s inevitable."
Wufu frowned. If that’s the case, it’s best to stay far away from the Wu family. This Wu family also has an Eldest Lady from Marquis Yongan’s Mansion. Who knows if there would be any collateral damage?
Seeing her concern, Ah Jiu comforted, "Don’t think too much. It’s too early to worry about this now. The Emperor’s favor is like an illusion; favored today, who knows if tomorrow she’ll end up in the Cold Palace."
Wufu nodded, but ultimately, it was a hidden danger.
