Your Majesty, you don’t want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 50 I Like This

Li Yunshu turned his neck stiffly and found that the empress was standing in front of him.

He suddenly had the illusion that he was in the Western Zhou Dynasty?

"Your Majesty - why are you here?" Realizing that it was inappropriate to call him "Your Majesty," Li Yunshu immediately changed his words, "Are you worried about me?"

He was really curious as to why the empress appeared and disappeared every time and could always find him accurately.

He hid in the palace's soup pool and watched the shadow bead being discovered, so he tolerated it. After all, it was the empress's territory.

Now that she has come to the Western Zhou Dynasty, the empress can still find her in this huge capital city.

Has she settled on me?
Pei Xuanji glanced at the plaque of Hongxiu Tower and snorted coldly.

"I don't even care if you die here."

At this time, all the men entering and leaving the Red Sleeve Building looked this way.

There was no way, Pei Xuanji, dressed in luxurious clothes, would pale even Dong Xiaowan standing here.

Noticing that more and more people were standing around, Li Yunshu reminded him in a low voice.

"This is not the place to talk."

Pei Xuanji glanced over, and everyone who stopped felt a cold feeling in their hearts, and took half a step back involuntarily.

She didn't care about these people and turned around to stroll along the long street.

Li Yunshu followed beside him, speculating on the purpose of the empress' coming to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, he would not be so naive as to think that the empress really came for him.

After walking some distance, Pei Xuanji spoke.

"You said before that you found clues to the three-legged golden toad?"

"Yes."

After hearing about the three-legged golden toad, Li Yunshu immediately understood the purpose of the empress' coming to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, he was still a little confused. The empress had clearly said before that there was no need for a three-legged golden toad.

Pei Xuanji got straight to the point and asked directly.

"Where is the three-legged golden toad?"

Li Yunshu immediately became alert and turned to look at Pei Xuanji.

"If I tell you where the three-legged golden toad is, what will happen to our previous bet?"

Hearing the word 'bet', Pei Xuanji immediately remembered what Li Yunshu said when making a bet.

'If I don't find it, I will lick His Majesty's feet! '

I don’t know why, but I automatically imagined this scene in my mind.

She took a deep breath and shook this inexplicable image out of her head.

"I'll go find it myself and cancel the bet."

"That won't work!"

Li Yunshu refused very simply. Good guy, he was obviously a profitable business both inside and outside, but now the empress canceled it as soon as she said so.

The rejected empress narrowed her eyes, turned to stare at Li Yunshu, and said coldly.

"Who gave you the guts?"

Li Yunshu scratched his neck and said.

"I'm doing this all for Dachu's sake."

"Oh?"

Seeing that the empress looked like I believed you, Li Yunshu immediately argued.

"Jinkou Yuyan, you don't want the world to know that the Empress of Chu is not true to her words."

Pei Xuanji's face froze, she never expected that this guy would silence her with his golden words.

Careless.

Who would have thought that one day he would actually be able to use the three-legged golden toad.

"Okay!" Pei Xuanji said coldly, "As long as your news is true, I will wear it when I go back -"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.

hum!
Rays of light appeared around the capital, rising into the sky.

Soon, a transparent barrier appeared in the sky, covering the entire capital.

Li Yunshu raised his head and looked around, looking at the barrier with a bad feeling in his heart.

"How is this going?"

Pei Xuanji looked a little gloomy.

"The Western Zhou Dynasty activated the city defense formation. People inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in."

"What happened?" Li Yunshu felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The person inside can't get out, which means that once the fake list is exposed, he will be in danger and won't be able to escape even if he wants to.Or maybe Wen Renjin had discovered that the list was fake, so he sealed off the capital.

Looking at the empress next to him, he felt slightly relieved.

Fortunately, the empress came to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and when she saw something was wrong, she could continue to hold her thigh.

Thinking of this, his mind suddenly became active.

"You can't go out either?"

Regarding this idiotic question, Pei Xuanji asked.

"Are you questioning me?"

"Ahem, you just said that as long as the news is true, what will you wear when you go back?"

Pei Xuanji clasped her hands behind her back and refused to acknowledge her fault.

"Did I say so?"

"You said it! You said that as long as the news is true, you will go back and wear black stockings."

Hearing this, Pei Xuanji paused and corrected herself.

"I didn't say what to wear."

Seeing that the empress refused to admit her fault, Li Yunshu followed suit, putting his hands behind his back, looking leisurely and contented.

"Then I'll find the three-legged golden toad myself."

Anyway, only you know where the three-legged golden toad is, so don’t let the bet queen miss you.

"what ever."

Pei Xuanji ignored Li Yunshu and continued to wander.

The closure of the capital naturally caused a commotion.

People didn't know what happened, so many people ran to the city gate to ask about the situation.

However, seeing that apart from closing the city, nothing else happened, the people were the first to settle down.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was different from Dachu. There was no market system here. Unlike Dachu, if you wanted to buy something, you could only go to the East Market and the West Market.

There are many small merchants and hawkers on both sides of the streets here, which is much more lively than in Dachu.

Also, there is no curfew here.

Even though it is already dusk, the number of pedestrians on the street is increasing instead of decreasing.

Although it was getting dark, as each house hung up its lanterns, the whole street still looked like daylight.

The two of them were silent all the way and just wandered on the street.

When Pei Xuanji passed by a stall, she suddenly stopped.

On the side, Li Yunshu looked at the stall in front of him curiously.

This is a ring-making stall, with a wide cloth spread on the floor and a variety of things on it, including antiques, jade, toys, jewelry, etc.

He first scanned the items on the stall carefully and found nothing unusual.

Then he glanced at the Empress from the corner of his eye. The stall was filled with ordinary objects. He didn't know why the Empress stopped.

Is there something you like?

Li Yunshu looked at the jewelry on the stall. They were all mediocre and of poor quality at first glance.

It doesn't cost much to set up a stall like this, so most of the items on display are cheap.

Even if he is caught, the stall owner will not lose too much.

Only place one or two valuable items in the most difficult-to-find areas of the stall to attract customers.

As soon as the two people stopped, the stall owner stepped forward with a lot of hoops on his arms.

"Sir, do you want to play for a penny?"

Seeing that the empress had no intention of leaving, Li Yunshu spoke.

"Ten circles."

"Okay."

The stall owner counted ten circles on his arm, handed them to Li Yunshu, and then took ten coins.

Li Yunshu held a circle in his hand and was eager to try it.

"Which one do you like?"

The empress glanced at the ten circles in Li Yunshu's hand and said calmly.

"Put on whichever one you like."

"it is good."

Li Yunshu nodded, then turned around and put the trap in his hand around the empress' neck.

"I like this."
