He didn’t lie to her about wanting to kill the Da Ling Emperor — everything he said was true!
However, her father and uncle entered the palace early in the morning today and only came back from the palace at almost noon. Presumably, her ungrateful cousin wouldn’t go to the military camp today for safety reasons.
Then should she go to the military camp? Should she find out?
No matter what, she was the daughter of the Duke, so it would be easier for her to find out about these things than the fleeing Sun Ai.
Moreover, she also wanted to know if her heartless cousin would be left alone instead of going to the military camp. That would give Sun Ai a chance to kill him…
This was something she had to find out.
But who should she ask?
Logically speaking, Shao Zhongxi had been entering the palace because of the diplomatic team from Beicheng. He should be quite aware of the Emperor’s recent movements. However, her uncle was cold and she had been afraid of him since she was young. How could she dare to ask him?
It was better to ask her father.
Usually, her uncles would tell her father about anything and everything important. The three brothers had always shared information, and they would rise or fall together. However, Shao Shuting was always in the South Town Army camp and was not at home to get updated on the news.
She had no choice but to ask her father.
However, her father was probably asleep considering it was night time. Even if she wanted to find out, she would have to wait until tomorrow.
Thus, after breakfast the following day, Shao Yucen met her father practicing his sword techniques in the courtyard. She walked over and asked obediently, “Father, when is the Emperor going back to Locust Village? I made a cloak for Aunty. I need his help to bring it when the time comes.”
No matter what, Shao Youyue was the Empress Dowager. Even if she had no conscience, she had to please her, at least on the surface. Therefore, she had always made something and asked someone to send it to her. If someone came to the Imperial Capital, she would ask that person to help bring it back.
She could use this as an excuse for now.
“We have to wait for the Beicheng diplomatic team to leave,” said Shao Boqi.
“Oh, I know.” Then, she asked, “He has a lot of things to do recently. If it’s not much, I’ll find a day to ask him about this matter so as not to disturb his duties.”
If it was any other time, he would not have thought anything bad about his daughter saying these words. However, the night before, Shao Zhongxi had told him that there might be something suspicious going on with his daughter. After thinking about it carefully, he indeed felt that there was something wrong and even reported it to the Emperor. At this moment, Shao Boqi was suspicious of his daughter. It seemed as though she wanted to know what had happened to Emperor Xue Yan recently.
Shao Boqi felt grief in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face. He stopped brandishing his sword and handed it to his subordinate. He took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face and smiled, “He has already met with Empress Beicheng and the envoy. The Emperor has not had much to do recently. He originally planned to go to the military camp yesterday but didn’t because we had some matters to report to him. That delayed him a little, so he didn’t go. He plans to go in two days, which is the day after tomorrow. In the next two days, he would deal with the memorial properly. If you want to ask him for this, try to do it the day after tomorrow. If you feel troubled that you have to go personally ask for a favor, then give it to me. When I enter the palace, I will bring it to him and ask him to help give it to your aunt.”
The day after tomorrow?
Shao Yucen was secretly delighted with the information, but she still looked obedient. “Alright, then I’ll wrap the cloak and give it to you. When you enter the palace, bring it to him, okay?”
