The little abbess, "I will give you a tip."

Chu Xun, "???"

He saw the little abbess familiarly flipped out a clean brush from Senior Official Song's room. She then casually tear a page and raised the brush to write. Chu Xun tried to look but he got unceremoniously smacked by the little abbess far away.

"Don't come over."

Chu Xun, "……" Who told him to need a help from the little abbess, as the Emperor he could only endure her weird temper. He remained leaning against the door, too lazy to move.

It was not known what method did the little abbess wrote with the brush. Without lifting the brush, she wrote speedily, as if she had a well-thought plan. A moment later, she had threw away the brush. She folded the paper and raised her head, asking Chu Xun, "Do you bring a pouch?"

Chu Xun readily and quickly took out his own golden, heavy pouch and threw it to the lantern girl. He had thought the way he threw the pouch was amazing.

After that, Chu Xun had to look helplessly as this grandma boldly opened his pouch. She poured out the several small money and two shining, gold sycee[1] and even casually put them into her sleeves. Following that, she stuffed that small piece of paper into the pouch.

"Take it."

"……" The cunning Emperor was slightly dumbfounded, he remained silly before he realised. Just like this, his money was gone.

He pursed his lips, feeling a bit distressed of the money. When thinking how this piece of paper from the little abbess was related to his lifetime happiness, that small amount of money was insignificant. Hence, he felt a lot better. Chu Xun took back the pouch and hastily opened it to take a look. What entered his sight was an amorous, erotic drawing. The drawing was extremely and deeply ingrained and lifelike.

Chu Xun's face instantly reddened. He was too embarrassed. Hiding his head, he gulped. He checked both sides of the paper several times. The front side of that paper was a drawing while the back side was pure emptiness. Chu Xun assumed he was blind so he flipped it again. It was still nothing.

"Senior, this is……?"

The little abbess mischievously grinned, "Keep it properly. When the time is ripe, it will be usable."

"……" The veins on Chu Xun's forehead bulged and throbbed violently. He was determined to be a wise Emperor, had proper self-cultivation, calculative and integrity. For problems which could be solved with moving mouths, he would definitely not resort to using his hands. For example, when Zhao Mo Ran wanted to take away his wife, he didn't kill because Chu Xun was confident that guy couldn't win him; today the lantern girl pranked him this much, his molar teeth were grinding and he still——endured!

Creak——

The door opened. Mei Qian Deng saw Chu Xun came out of the room with black face.

The female warrior Mei asked out of worry, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Chu Xun's mouth did its best to smile, "Zhen is amazingly fine!"

Senior Official Song checked Chu Xun's whole body. Confirming there was no missing limbs, he hastily ran into the room. The lantern girl had left without notice. Senior Official Song was already old but his sight was still excellent. He immediately saw a book was left open on the table. A bad feeling suddenly creeped from his heart.

Chu Xun turned around with both his hands at the back and left, "Let's go."

Mei Qian Deng obediently followed.

They suddenly heard Senior Official Song's heartrending cries in the room, "Which bastard is it, —tearing a page—from laofu's several decades hidden—erotic—book——!!!!!!!!!!"

Chu Xun and Mei Qian Deng exited Senior Official Song's house and invited Fourth Miss Di to meet at the teahouse.

When Fourth Miss Di saw Mei Qian Deng brought the Emperor as well, she was like injected with chicken blood as she pulled back her sleeves and planned to discuss with Chu Xun. Female warrior Mei stepped forward and stopped her, "Fourth Young Miss, keep calm and don't get excited."

"I! I! I!" How could she not be excited! The joints of her fingers were crackling.

"Fourth Sister." Chu Xun sat while striking a pose, while being carefree and content he didn't lose the dignified monarch look.

"Don't call me Fourth Sister, this young miss doesn't dare to claim a relationship with Your Majesty."

"Zhen heard Xiao Mei Zi said, you want to annul the marriage?"

Fourth Miss Di glanced at Chu Xun while being surprised in her heart: It can't be Young Miss Mei really manage to make His Majesty to agree annulling the marriage? She sized up Chu Xun's eyes, he had a cheerful, smiling face. He really had quite handsome face. Fourth Miss Di's taut mind slightly softened, holding on to that small hope she replied, "Y-Yes! Who want to marry to Zhang Hu Bao that little tyrant! This young miss is willing to be a nun instead."

Chu Xun personally poured a cup of tea for Fourth Miss Di, "Fourth Sister, zhen sanctioning a marriage for you and that brat from Zhang family is a stalling plan too. You saw it too, your father, the Grand Chancellor and the others are eager for zhen to marry today and appoint the Empress. It can't be Fourth Sister wants to enter the palace as zhen's wife?"

"I don't! Even if you beat me to death, I won't enter the palace. Still, how can you match me up with that f*cker?! At worst, I can just pack up and be a nun without marrying anyone!" Fourth Miss Di felt she herself was quite pitiful. There was nothing wrong with her being single.

"Fourth Sister, don't be hasty. Zhen and Xiao Mei Zi already planned it out for you."

A certain person grinned, like a beautiful fox.

Mei Qian Deng stood behind Chu Xun with a calm face as if the main culprit that made that fooling idea was not her at all.

Fourth Miss stared at Chu Xun before staring at Mei Qian Deng. She only had three parts believing Chu Xun but she had seven parts believing Mei Qian Deng. Seeing Mei Qian Deng nodded with cool look, she hence believed, "So, what are you all planning?"

"Fourth Sister, zhen will decree you and Zhang Hu Bao to escort the saltpetre transport to the northern border. Recently the national treasury is tight, this sale of saltpetre can earn a lot of money. When you received the money and returned to the capital, it can be considered as having an accomplishment. Zhen will then give a reward. It was then you should mention annulling the marriage so that zhen still have the face. What does Fourth Sister think?"

Listening to it, it really felt reliable.

Chu Xun added, "Fourth Sister has always wish to follow Supreme General leading the armies for a battle yet it's never granted. Right now is a good chance. On the way, you have to pass through the nomadic tribes' territory. Then, Fourth Sister can personally see the situation at the border and conveniently kill some enemies to your heart's content. Supreme General too can't stop you."

Fourth Miss Di was attracted as she swallowed her saliva.

She looked at Mei Qian Deng again. Female warrior Mei indifferently said, "However, with that basic martial arts Zhang Hu Bao have, if he encounters any danger on the journey, I hope Fourth Young Miss can help take care of him. If he had any permanent injuries or died, with Di family a loyal family, by the time you bring back Zhang Hu Bao's body to the capital and the Emperor agreed annulling the marriage, Supreme General Di will surely force Fourth Young Miss to be a widow."

Fourth Miss opened her eyes wide. She had yet to think this far. With Mei Qian Deng's warning, she felt it was really possible.  Her old father was a rigid, tradition-abiding boor. He held up comradeship the most. If two living people cut off the relationship, at most she would be scolded a few words by him. But, the dead was the greatest. If Zhang Hu Bao died, this arranged marriage would be just like the nails nailed on a coffin with no chance of annulling the marriage. Because Supreme General Di would feel this was being heartlessly and faithlessly throwing stones at those fell down the well, a working of a vile person.

"So, Fourth Young Miss, you will depart tomorrow. On the journey, you will properly protect Zhang Hu Bao, right?"

"En!"

Hence, under an ignorant state Fourth Miss Di was sold out by the cheerfully smiling Chu Xun and the solemn looking Mei Qian Deng. In the end, when Fourth Miss Di bid farewell to the two of them, her eyes were already gushing out tears. She had a big hope for a new shiny day tomorrow. She even specially ran over and grabbed Mei Qian Deng's hands, "Sister, you're a good sister!"

Female warrior Mei remained silent.

Chu Xun pushed away Fourth Miss Di's hands that were grabbing Mei Qian Deng, "Quickly return and prepare. Zhen will wait in the capital city for your good news."

"Yes, will do!"
