The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Chapter 186 Late Night Appointment

In the blink of an eye, three days later.

During these three days, Yang Chenyu sent people to look for the man who delivered the letter, but he seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and could not be found.

It was during these days that he confirmed one thing.

Behind this letter, there should not be someone in the court who wants to take the opportunity to overthrow him. After all, in the past three days, he has tested all those who are hostile to him one by one, but without exception, they all seem to know nothing.

Of course, it is not ruled out that they are pretending.

However, Yang Chenyu was more inclined to believe that it was a conspiracy by the enemy country.

That day, Yang Chenyu returned home and sat quietly in his bedroom until dark. Soon it was the hour of Hai.

He stood up, smoothed the wrinkles on his body from sitting for so long, and walked out of the house.

At night, although there was no curfew in the State of Wu, there were few people on the streets.

The sound of the carriage wheels was particularly clear in the empty street, and it was recalled in the quiet night.

Yang Chenyu sat in the carriage, gazing at the somewhat dim street scene outside the window through the gap in the opened curtains, thinking about his next move in his mind.

At this time, except for a few brothels and restaurants and inns that were still open, all other shops had already closed.

On the surface, Yang Chenyu only brought a mute groom with him, and no one else.

But how could Yang Chenyu surrender? Naturally, there were a lot of people hiding in secret.

Soon, the carriage stopped at Zuixianlou.

Zuixianlou, one of the largest restaurants in Beijing, was naturally open at this time.

Yang Chenyu got off the carriage and looked at the coachman, "Just wait here."

After he finished speaking, he stepped into Zuixianlou.

There were a few drunk guests in the lobby of the building, snoring softly while leaning over the table.

Yang Chenyu looked calm, but his eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

At this time, a waiter came up to greet him with a big smile on his face. Because Yang Chenyu had dressed simply, the waiter did not recognize him. "Sir, how many are you?"

Yang Chenyu withdrew his gaze from the drunkard and looked at the person in front of him, "Someone asked me to come here."

The waiter was slightly stunned, then said, "Sir, please follow me."

Yang Chenyu followed the waiter up to the second floor and came to a private room.

The waiter opened the door, gestured for invitation, and left.

Yang Chenyu stepped into the private room and saw a man sitting inside.

The man was wearing a coarse linen shirt and looked very ordinary, no different from most of the civilians outside. Yang Chenyu was not sure whether he had disguised himself or not.

At this moment, he was sitting there leisurely, sipping tea, and no one knew how long he had been waiting.

He looked up when he heard footsteps. "Lord Yang is here, so punctual. He probably didn't bring anyone else with him, did he?"

Yang Chenyu naturally came to sit opposite him, "What do you think?"

He glanced at the window behind him, which gave him a panoramic view of the street. "Didn't he see everything?"

The man shrugged and put down his teacup. "Master Yang, I advise you not to play tricks, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable. I don't care if you bring anyone with you. Anyway, I can't go back tonight. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood will know about Master Yang's homosexuality."

Yang Chenyu clenched his hands under the table and spoke softly, as if he was saying something insignificant. "Are you threatening me?"

The man smiled, "Master Yang, this is not a threat, just a statement of fact."

Yang Chenyu's eyes were sharp, "Tell me, what is your purpose?"

The man leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Master Yang, we only need you to provide the place where the deposed emperor Wang Yi is being held."

Yang Chenyu was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party's target was the deposed emperor.

Then, it seems that he is a spy sent by the enemy country.

Is it Anguo? Or Yueguo?

He frowned, and the fingers on his legs moved slightly. After a moment, he said, "How could I know? You are embarrassing me. No one knows about this except His Majesty."

Hearing Yang Chenyu's words, the man chuckled and looked him straight in the face. "Sir Yang, stop pretending. Everyone knows that you are the most trusted by His Majesty. His Majesty is willing to tell you anything. Now, you say you don't know. How can I believe you?"

Yang Chenyu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes grew even darker. "Your Majesty's affairs are shrouded in secrecy. Although I am favored by Your Majesty, I do not know everything."

"Oh I got it."

The man nodded, a look of sudden enlightenment on his face. "Then there's nothing we can do. Lord Yang will be ruined tomorrow. Tsk tsk, just imagine what the people and officials in the capital will say about Lord Yang tomorrow. It's probably going to be quite exciting. Who could have guessed how the much-praised Lord Yang would spend his money privately?"

After saying that, the man stood up and said, "Then Sir Yang, I will be leaving first."

Looking at the departing figure, before he was about to open the door, "He is imprisoned under an abandoned palace next to the cold palace."

Hearing this, the man walked back and said, "Master Yang, I hope what you said is true. By the way, don't even think about sending more defenses, otherwise..."

"You know the consequences."

Hearing these veiled threats, Yang Chenyu looked at the man a few steps away from him, "Now that I've told you the address, can you keep your promise and not reveal my secret?"

Yang Chenyu stared at the man, trying to find a clue from his expression.

The man raised his lips and said, "Don't worry, Lord Yang. As long as what you say is true, I will keep my mouth shut. After all, we are people who keep our word."

Yang Chenyu snorted coldly, "I hope you keep your word. Otherwise, even if it means a fight to the death, I won't let you off easily."

The man said no more, turned around and left in a hurry.

Shortly after the man left, Yang Chenyu stood up and went downstairs back home.

After returning home, Yang Chenyu did not go directly back to his yard to rest. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the study.

Time flies and it is the hour of Yin.

A dark shadow quietly appeared in front of him.

"How is it? Do you know where that person is hiding?" Yang Chenyu asked with a gloomy face.

The shadow lowered his head and replied cautiously, "Your Excellency, we are incompetent and have lost him..."

"You useless people! You guys can't even catch a single person." Yang Chenyu was so furious that he threw the glass pen mountain beside him to the ground.

The black shadow was so frightened that he quickly knelt down. "Sir, calm down. That person is too cunning. He seems to have noticed our pursuit and deliberately circled around the city many times before finally disappearing into a dark alley."

Yang Chenyu took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart: "Keep investigating, and make sure to find him out."

The shadowy figure replied, "Yes, sir, we'll do it right away."

After the black shadow retreated, Yang Chenyu sat down on the chair tiredly with a frown on his face.

Should I be a traitor or a loyal and righteous man with a discredited reputation?

After a moment, he made a decision in his heart.
