Chapter 2964: Chapter 2964: Searching for Someone (2)

Wanyan Liang remained silent, truly silent, sitting there with his head down, not making a sound.

Xu Huairui breathed a silent sigh of relief. She was genuinely afraid he would take his anger out on her, resulting in a beating, but it seemed that wouldn’t happen now.

"I want to see the person who delivered the letter to you." Wanyan Liang suddenly raised his head.

Xu Huairui was startled, almost jumping out of her chair, but quickly calmed herself: "I don’t know where they live, I didn’t ask."

"Then send someone to the inn to find out." Wanyan Liang smiled a little.

"Okay." Xu Huairui nodded, "Let the butler handle it." She said as she rose and curtsied. "I take my leave."

"This is your courtyard, where are you planning to retreat to?" Wanyan Liang frowned.

"Then I bid farewell to the Crown Prince." Xu Huairui was momentarily stunned, then hastily changed her words.

"I am not leaving tonight." Wanyan Liang stood up and reached over to take Xu Huairui’s hand.

"This..."

"It’s late, time to rest." Wanyan Liang pulled Xu Huairui and started walking towards the back.

Xu Huairui initially resisted, but the grip on her hand was firm, and she couldn’t break free, so she followed along. After all, they were already married, and besides, he hadn’t touched her in years, she too had needs. So if he desired it tonight, it would also satisfy her own physical needs.

Wanyan Liang was naturally unaware of the thoughts of the woman beside him. It was the letter tonight that had unsettled him, or rather it gave him the excuse or opportunity to act on a long-standing idea deep in his heart.

The letter mentioned greetings to Xu Huairui, briefly stating the Xu family was doing well, then said the current Crown Prince of Jin Country was a fool, and the Emperor, at his age, was still being tended by Wa Country girls for longevity. If true, the Crown Prince might not live. Anyway, the Xu family implied Xu Huairui should plan early, and if she wished to return, they could find a way.

Wanyan Liang should have been angry originally, but he couldn’t muster anger because he also felt his father, the Emperor, was old. Still, every night surrounded by young girls, his vitality seemed to be improving, which made him genuinely uneasy.

More importantly, today in the palace, he had ridiculed Qi Jinghao a bit, causing the Emperor to rebuke him for a long time.

This Crown Prince role was far too humiliating.

The letter ended by saying, if now the Crown Prince of Jin Country ascended, there would be no wars, and the people would benefit.

That particular sentence struck a chord in the Crown Prince’s heart. If he ascended, then...

Only if his father passed away.

But accomplishing this task was challenging.

What if Daxuan people came to help?

He needed to find the Daxuan man who delivered the letter, and naturally, would have to rely on the Crown Princess Consort, so tonight he had to be good to her.

Thus, for the first time in seven years, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort were together, after having only been together shortly after marriage.

The next day, Xu Huairui felt pain but was overall comfortable, as the Crown Prince had been quite diligent last night. Yes, she was very satisfied.

Longmen Inn.

Qi Jingyun and Gu Qingheng were drinking together; they had cast all their baits and were waiting for someone to bite.

"Prince." Yun Bai quietly entered, "Wanyan Liang has sent people to inquire about merchants from Daxuan Country in various inns."

Qi Jingyun smiled a bit: "We will wait for him right here."
