Over.
She was completely ruined. This was the only thought that Madam Su had as she finished listening to the decree of the queen; she knew the good things that she had done. Even if she were to rush out and clean up the traces of her cris, Madam Su knew that she would not be able to deal with them in one night!
When Fu Beichou saw the changes on Madam Su's face, what else did she need to know? She sighed and turned to look at Su Han, who was standing behind the Su family. She said to her, "Don't worry, Miss Han. You can sell the rights of your invention to Miss Mo as you like. The imperial family will take on the expenses of your father's treatnt."
"Thank—thank you, your highness," Su Han was so touched that her eyes turned red. Only she knew how troubled she had been in the past few days; every second the weight on her shoulders would beco heavier. Sotis she even wondered if she would be able to make it in ti.
If not for the fact that she was in a hurry, she would have never made a fuss loud enough for her mother to notice that there was sothing wrong with her. But because she wanted to find a way to et with Mo Qiang as soon as possible, Su Han could only throw caution to the wind.
With how careful she had been in the past few months, could her mother find out about what she was up to? Of course not. Su Han also knew that tonight was her last chance once she found out that the blueprint had been stolen.
If she failed to et with Mo Qiang, then she would certainly fall into trouble. Thus, even though it ant offending more than just one person, she was willing to go to any lengths to et with Mo Qiang.
Fortunately, the risks that she took finally paid off!
"There is no need to thank us," Fu Beichou waved her hand. She glanced at Madam Su, whose expression was filled with reluctance and anger, before muttering, "It was our fault that you have to suffer like this." Fu Beichou knew that it was her careless, trusting attitude that made Madam Su so bold. She thought that even if her friend made so small splashes, she would never do anything to let her and the empire down.
Clearly, she was wrong.
Fu Beichou turned around on her feet and walked away, feeling a headache coming. She went to the lounge room; she had been working hard these past few days from the matter of the problems in the clothes factory to the academy; everything was settled by her.
There was also the matter of Fu Shi being on the run. Because the woman was seen near her fief, she had no choice but to pay attention to the security of the fief and the palace.
From the information sent by the spy, Fu Shi was gathering troops at the western part of the fief. But she moved when her location was leaked. As per the reports, the troops gathered were not small and couldn't be counted as simply a military training.
Fu Beichou could not understand what Fu Shi was actually trying to do. If she was planning an invasion, then she would have gathered the forces at the imperial star instead of here.
If she was planning an invasion through the fief, then she would have to go through the troops guarding the boundaries. There was also the forest of Iron Boars just before the boundary line of the fief.
It was impossible for anyone to cross that land. So what the hell was Fu Shi planning?
Maybe she —
Suddenly, Fu Beichou snapped out of her thoughts. Even though the disturbance was small, she still sensed it.
Low-ranking cha particles were scattered outside the room but as far as she knew, this energy was sothing that she didn't recognise. Because it hadn't been registered.
"Miss Mo?"
Mo Qiang turned to look at Su Han, who was reading the contract Su Jiao Jiao had sent and asked, "Is sothing the matter? Is there a clause that you do not understand?"
Just now she was sure she felt so kind of disturbance in the cha particles that were scattered in the air; though it was really small, it was quite clear.
She turned to look at Mo Xifeng, who was standing beside her, who nodded at her. It seed like she was not being sensitive. There was really sothing wrong.
"Dad," Mo Qiang turned to look at Wen Gui, who was sipping on wine. When he saw that his daughter was calling him, he imdiately put his wine glass down and said, "Go. I and your mother will keep your husbands safe." As for whether or not they would need it. No one was sure about it.
Su Han sensed that there was sothing wrong as well. She raised her head and looked at Mo Qiang before asking, "Miss Mo, is everything alright?"
Mo Qiang didn't know what was going on so she could only ask Su Han to not go out and head outside. Her mother was already investigating the situation. But she dared not to go too far from the private room where her family was staying. What if she rushed to save others and it was her family who suffered?
She could only leave the matter in Mo Qiang and Mo Xigeng's hands.
"You go and look at the left wing; I will go and take a look at the right," said Mo Qiang as she summoned her spirits and rushed to the corridors where the disturbance was the strongest.
She had a feeling that the night was destined to be restless!
"Look for anything that is suspicious," she told the four spirits. "Make sure that you find the source of this disturbance."
Since soone dared to make trouble in the banquet arranged by the imperial family, she knew that it had to be soone daring.
Most likely Fu Shi!
