He succinctly finished explaining the matter of needing Jun Yu to help him find the seeds.
After listening, Jun Yu asked, "Boss, do you need this urgently? When should I give it to you?"
"I need it soon. The sooner, the better."
"Then I’ll give it to you tomorrow." This task was no problem for Jun Yu, just a trivial matter. If he arranged for his subordinates to handle it, it could be settled in a day. However, "Boss, should we still et here tomorrow?"
"It’s not safe here anymore, let’s choose another place." Learning from the last lesson, this ti Jun Ning spoke to Jun Yu in a deliberately lowered voice. When ntioning the place for their next eting, his voice lowered even further, "I live in the Cold Palace. You can have soone help deliver the seeds to the Cold Palace."
"Got it, I’ll rember." Jun Yu hesitated for a mont and asked eagerly, "Then where can I find you to hang out in the future?"
"Sure." Jun Ning moved a bit closer and whispered to Jun Yu, "There’s a dog hole at the west corner of the Cold Palace. If you want to find , don’t use the front gate, quietly crawl through there and mimic the call of a cuckoo; once I hear it, I’ll co to you imdiately."
"Alright." Jun Yu nodded heavily, indicating he rembered.
After saying all this, Jun Ning didn’t linger much longer. He handed Jun Yu a juicy, tender chicken leg and then left through another exit of the cave with Qiong Hua, who had been silently standing by his side.
Jun Yu only left after finishing the chicken leg.
Until Jun Ning completely disappeared from view, Emperor Yongning hadn’t thought about how Jun Ning had disguised himself as a girl to et Jun Yu, he was still imrsed in his fondness for the little girl.
But Xiao Lizi saw clearly.
That little girl definitely had sothing wrong.
Especially after seeing Jun Yu wiping his mouth as he ca out of the cave, he was even more certain.
"Your Majesty, the seventeenth prince has co out," reminded Xiao Lizi.
"What about him coming out?"
Xiao Lizi: "......"
Was that little girl really so enchanting?
Had the tyrant lost even his basic deductive abilities?
Xiao Lizi coughed a few tis, unsure how to explain, hoping Emperor Yongning might co to realize it on his own, yet Emperor Yongning showed no signs of figuring it out.
He said, "Xiao Lizi, go find out which family’s young lady the Empress found as a companion for the seventeenth prince?"
Xiao Lizi pretended not to hear Emperor Yongning and stubbornly reminded again, "Your Majesty, I felt sothing was off about that little girl just now."
Emperor Yongning, displeased: "...Sothing off?"
"Yes." Xiao Lizi was so scared he broke out in a cold sweat again, and his words weren’t so smooth, "Your... Your Majesty, you see after the seventeenth prince ca out of that cave, his... his face was full of brightness, no trace of any distress... therefore... it’s evident... he has already t the person he was supposed to et."
In other words, he had seen the little rascal that the Imperial Guard had been searching for so long but couldn’t find.
"But just now, the only people who went into the cave were the little girl and a palace maid."
Could it be—
Previously, Emperor Yongning had been quite deceived by the disguise of that little rascal. But now that Xiao Lizi had pointed it out so explicitly, if he was still fooled by that little rascal, unable to deduce that the little rascal dressed up as a girl and boldly t with the seventeenth prince right under his nose, then he might as well have stumbled his way onto the Emperor’s throne.
"Well played, you little rascal." Emperor Yongning was so furious that his chest heaved violently.
