AWB Chapter 160 He Wants to See You
Chapter 160 He Wants to See You
As he walked, he was thinking, and then he bumped into Sima Lingyu.
This just really brought bad luck on her; he's always so unlucky.
But this time he overheard those conversations outside the study, so how could he possibly let Huang Ziliang die?
He immediately knelt down; Wu Chengye disliked seeing him in such a weak and helpless state.
But I still asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Your Highness, I...I came to see Your Highness. It's cold, so I made some warming soup."
"These tasks can be easily handled by servants; do we still need you?"
"Yes……"
Surprisingly, they didn't make things difficult for him and simply walked past him.
Only after she walked away did Sima Lingyu stand up from the ground, cold sweat still dripping down his back.
Seeing that no one was around, he hurriedly went into the room, where Huang Ziliang was still sitting.
He looked at him and said, "Ziliang, you'd better leave quickly. I don't know what she might do when she goes crazy."
"She won't touch me for now."
But he has to go out now. He's taken his revenge, and he can deal with the others later.
The most urgent task is to explain the changes that have occurred to them.
He tried to leave, but was stopped by the gatekeeper.
Wu Chengye had already given orders not to let him leave the house, but he had plenty of ways to do so.
Changsun Boyu had already taught him how to remove the dough skin. He went to a secluded corner and removed the dough skin.
Then he found a servant's clothes in the mansion. At this time, the situation was urgent, and Wu Chengye did not send any extra people to monitor him.
He slipped away easily, walking along the road without ever looking back.
He went to the inn he frequented, but few of the people there had ever seen his true face.
At first glance, it feels a little strange.
"Mr. Huang, what's wrong with you...?"
"Is Miss Ziyan in the city?"
The boss shook his head. It was just bad luck; Wu Ziyan had gone out early this morning.
He frowned, thinking that Mo Baiyun probably wouldn't go with him.
He's currently at the inn, and waiting for Mo Baiyun to appear is the safest option for him.
Mo Baiyun had no time to deal with him and sent a subordinate to bring Huang Ziliang back to Jiu'an Prefecture.
Sima Lingchuan was at home, and he hadn't seen Huang Ziliang for a long time.
Upon seeing him return, they asked, "Mr. Huang, why have you come back to your residence?"
"We should discuss this with Miss Ziyan, but I heard she has already left the city, so we can only go back to the manor and wait for her."
"What's the important matter?"
Sima Lingchuan couldn't be of much help with these matters.
But Huang Ziliang thought to himself, this Sima Lingchuan is Sima Zongcheng's son.
It would be reasonable to send him back to the Prime Minister's residence to find some evidence.
However, this husband is weak, and it seems that Wu Ziyan cares about him very much.
She would be heartbroken if anything happened to him.
Seeing Huang Ziliang's furrowed brows and troubled expression, he roughly guessed what it was about.
His mother has always been at odds with the person above him, and it's likely that this is another matter between them.
"Is it about my mother?"
He hadn't expected Sima Lingchuan to be so intelligent.
It's about being able to analyze what he's thinking just by looking at his facial expressions.
It's such a waste to keep such a man confined to the inner quarters; he's insightful and pure-hearted.
"It's alright, Master Sima." He bowed respectfully.
What was he thinking? He actually wanted to involve Sima Linchuan in such a dangerous matter. He must be insane.
“I know a little about what Ziyan does outside, and she and my mother don’t get along very well. There are some things I know even if you don’t tell me.”
He didn't say anything, and then went back to his courtyard.
After listening to Huang Ziliang's words, Sima Lingchuan also had his own plans.
It's time for Wu Ziyan to come back. She already knows that Huang Ziliang came to find her.
She was constantly busy, one thing after another.
"Chu Qiu, Ziliang is back. Go see him first, then bring him here?"
"I don't want to go; he wants to see you."
This was the first time Chu Qiu had so openly expressed her displeasure.
But it didn't seem like they were having a disagreement; perhaps Huang Ziliang really had something important to discuss with her.
Suddenly, I remembered the things I had instructed Mo Baiyun to do. They should have been mostly taken care of by now, right?
She still has that list, so she should go to the study and get it first.
Consider it a reward for his hard work infiltrating Wu Chengye's inner circle.
"Alright then, you should rest first, you've been working so hard. I'll go get some things and then go see him."
"I'll wait for you and go with you."
Wu Ziyan felt this was a bit inappropriate, since they were all her boyfriends.
Don't let it escalate into jealousy and bickering; that would be unpleasant.
"No need, you can wait for me in the mansion. I'll go to the courtyard to talk to Huang Ziliang for a while."
"Besides, I have to go to my eldest sister's house for some business. If you don't conserve your energy, who will be responsible for my safety?"
Chu Qiu, of course, couldn't see through Wu Ziyan's little scheme, and was even somewhat pleased.
Thinking that she was actually worried about him, he carried his sword to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat up straight. How could he rest like this?
She was too lazy to persuade her and went to the study to get the list.
Several large crosses have been marked on the top with red ink, which means it has been completely removed.
They even found some tokens in the drawer of that compartment as proof.
Mo Baiyun is always so meticulous and reliable. Becoming his handsome husband wouldn't be a bad idea!
Wait, what are you thinking about? Huang Ziliang is still waiting for her in the courtyard.
She tucked the list into her pocket, clasped her hands together, and hurried toward Huang Ziliang's courtyard.
Huang Ziliang stood with his hands behind his back in the courtyard.
Although he hadn't been back to his courtyard for a long time, the servants still kept it clean for him.
There were several pots of chrysanthemums by the roadside, and he was looking down at them.
Wu Ziyan spotted the tall figure from a distance, but he couldn't see the humility that men usually possess.
Instead, he exuded confidence and composure, leading her to believe he had come back after experiencing some kind of heartbreak, but he seemed completely unaffected.
As she got closer, she noticed that he no longer had that dejected expression on his face.
It turned out she was worrying too much. She called out softly, "Ziliang."
"Miss."
"I heard you need to see me. Is it something important?"
"Behind Wu Chengye and the Prime Minister is the Emperor of Xiao Rong Kingdom. They don't care about the lives of Qi Zeyun and Qi Zexuan, and they will probably sabotage the Chrysanthemum Garden."
"You mean you've left Wu Chengye's residence?"
“He already suspects me, but I’m thinking of going back anyway. I have a plan, please listen carefully, Miss.”
This is because they're afraid there's something fishy going on in his household, and if others overhear this, it could cause a huge problem.
Wu Ziyan tossed her hair aside and moved closer to Huang Ziliang. This was serious business, so there was no need to worry about the difference between men and women.
"I have already spoken to Wu Chengye about poisoning Qi Zeyun at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet."
"When the poison takes effect, he will definitely pin the blame on Miss, and since I am a member of Miss's household, Miss will definitely be implicated."
