After Wu Jun Qiao left with Wu Zheng He, both the emperor and empress were left in a contemplative mood.
After some time, Wu Li Hua lowered her tea and spoke in a quiet and measured voice.
"What does His Majesty think we should do?"
Taking another sip of his tea, Jin Fa Chung stayed silent for a minute longer as he contemplated on what the best course of action was before finally opening his mouth to speak.
"My dear empress, to tell the truth the task at hand may seem simple but the reality is entirely the opposite."
Sighing, Jin Fa Chung then added, "What he wants us to accomplish is something that still needs careful consideration. After all, he wants us to help him find a way to get inside the Brother Zhong's territory and with the current precautions he is taking, the entirety of Lei Palace and the Fan estate is nigh impenetrable."
"Then is there no other way?" Wu Li Hua asked disappointedly.
"I'm not saying there is no way this can be done, my dear... I am just saying that there are thing we must first do before we can take such action."
Hearing her husband's words, Wu Li Hua's face noticeably brightened up, making Jin Fa Chung smile wryly as he affectionately shook his head at her.
"Li Li, you never change haha... Now now, don't get your hopes up! As I mentioned earlier, there are still some things that we must do first."
Pouting slightly, Wu Li Hua waved a dismissive hand before prompting Jin Fa Chung to continue.
"From what you told me before, this nephew of ours still does not want to reveal himself until after the banquet is that right?" the emperor asked to which the empress nodded in answer.
"If that's the case then to be completely frank, he would not be able to enter even the estate's gates, even with our help."
"Then what must we do?"
"If your nephew is willing to make a couple of tweaks to his plans then this would be the best time to arrange a meeting for him to get acquainted with his cousins. That way, we'll have more legitimate reasons to have him visit... Like accompanying Meng Yao when I have him go send my regards to Brother Zhong."
Seeing the emperor's logic and reasoning behind it, Wu Li Hua smiled as her gaze met his as they nodded to each other in understanding.
"Excellent idea Your Majesty! I'll go and have one my trusted servants send word."
"Very good... Then I shall wait for the good news, my empress."
After their conversation, the two spent a few more moments with each other before the emperor took his leave while his empress immediately got to work.
Not long after they left, a palace eunuch arrived at the residence of Wu Zheng He bearing a message from the empress and right after he received it, the eunuch discreetly left.
After opening the sealed letter and reading it, Wu Zheng He's brows raised slightly in surprise before slightly smiling as he got one of the servants to summon Wu Jun Qiao to his study.
Soon after, a knock sounded before the door opened and Wu Jun Qiao walked in and greeted him then asking, "You called for me?"
"Ahh, yes yes... Take a seat Jun Qiao."
