After raising a cub, I won by doing nothing

Chapter 438 The relationship is not as simple as monarch and subject

"Get up." Duanmu Zhaofeng said calmly, "Are you a servant in Yujiao Palace?"

Xiao Wu stood up from the ground and answered Duanmu Zhaofeng: "Yes, I am serving in Yujiao Palace."

"You said you had something urgent to report to me. Go ahead." Duanmu Zhaofeng slowly sat up from the bed, looking at Xiaowu who was standing not far away through a layer of bed curtains.

The viciousness flowing in those eyes was like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark night.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I feel that the relationship between the Seventh Princess of Yan and the Imperial Preceptor of Yan is not as simple as that of monarch and subject." Xiao Wu mustered up the courage and said to Duanmu Zhaofeng.

Duanmu Zhaofeng did not like the Seventh Princess of Yan State, and she did not agree with the marriage between the Seventh Princess and the Emperor from the beginning to the end. This was no secret in the aristocratic circles of the palace and even the imperial capital.

That's why Xiao Wu dared to take a gamble and risk her life to expose Mu Wanxi and Helian Chiyue to Duanmu Zhaofeng.

Duanmu Zhaofeng's eyes narrowed, and the look he gave Xiao Wu through the veil became much more serious.

"You are so bold! What evidence do you have that you dare to gossip in front of the Empress Dowager?!" Nanny Jin shouted at Xiao Wu with a stern look.

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Xiao Wu looked at Nanny Jin unconvinced, "I saw it with my own eyes!"

"You saw it with your own eyes?" Duanmu Zhaofeng's voice came from behind the bed curtain, as calm as a pool of stagnant water, making it impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry. "Then tell me, what did you see?"

Therefore, Xiao Wu told Duanmu Zhaofeng in detail about the conversation she heard between Helian Chiyue and Mu Wanxi after they returned to Yujiao Palace together, as well as the shy and annoyed expression on Mu Wanxi's face when he stopped Helian Chiyue.

After listening to what Xiao Wu said, Duanmu Zhaofeng fell silent.

There was a strange light in his eyes.

According to what the young palace maid said, it is indeed easy to associate Mu Wanxi and Helian Chiyue with an improper relationship. But this alone cannot be confirmed.

However, if Mu Wanxi and Helian Chiyue really had an improper relationship between men and women, then she would be cuckolding Si Xieyue.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Zhaofeng couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

No matter how much Si Xieyue dotes on Mu Wanxi, given his proud personality, he would never be able to tolerate being cheated on.

At that time, all we need to do is find evidence that Mu Wanxi and Helian Chiyue are in contact, and then Mu Wanxi will definitely be finished.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and an abnormal blush appeared on Duanmu Zhaofeng's pale cheeks.

"Little girl, what's your name?" Duanmu Zhaofeng deliberately softened his tone and asked Xiao Wu.

"My humble name is Xiao Wu." Xiao Wu answered happily.

"Xiao Wu, you did a good job. Go back first and keep an eye on the Seventh Princess of Yan and the Imperial Master. If there is anything unusual between them, report to me. Remember, don't alert the enemy, and don't tell anyone else about it for the time being." Duanmu Zhaofeng said. "If you do this well, I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."

"Yes! Xiao Wu remembered it." Xiao Wu said happily.

"Step back." Duanmu Zhaofeng said.

Xiao Wu bowed to Duanmu Zhaofeng again, and then left happily.

After Xiao Wu left the bedroom, Nanny Jin asked Duanmu Zhaofeng, "Empress Dowager, you didn't really believe what that little girl said, did you?"
