Your Majesty, you don't want your secret to be known.

The rejected empress narrowed her eyes, turned her head and stared at Li Yunshu, saying in a cold voice.

"Who gave you the courage?"

Li Yunshu said with his neck stiff.

"I'm doing this all for the sake of Da Chu."

"Oh?"

Seeing the empress's expression of "I don't believe you at all", Li Yunshu immediately argued.

"You don't want the world to know that the Queen of Great Chu is not trustworthy."

Pei Xuanji's face froze. She never expected that this guy would shut her up with such powerful words.

Careless.

Who would have thought that one day I would really need the three-legged golden toad.

"Okay!" Pei Xuanji said coldly, "As long as your news is true, I will go back and wear--"

However, just when she was halfway through her words, something strange happened.

hum!

Rays of light appeared around the capital and shot up into the sky.

Soon, a transparent barrier appeared in the sky, covering the entire capital.

Li Yunshu raised his head and looked around, and when he saw the barrier, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"How is this going?"

Pei Xuanji looked a little gloomy.

"Western Zhou has activated the city defense formation. People inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in."

"What happened?" Li Yunshu felt a little uneasy.

The people inside can't get out, which means that once the fake list is exposed, they will be in danger and won't be able to escape even if they want to.

Or perhaps Wen Renjin had discovered that the list was fake, so he closed the capital.

Looking at the empress beside him, he felt a little more at ease.

Fortunately, the empress came to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and when she saw that the situation was not right, she could still continue to cling to her superiors.

Thinking of this, his mind suddenly became active.

"You can't get out either?"

Pei Xuanji asked back about this idiotic question.

"Are you questioning me?"

"Ahem, you just said that as long as the news is true, what will you wear when you go back?"

Pei Xuanji put his hands behind his back and refused to admit it.

"Did I say that?"

"You said it! You said that as long as the news is true, you will go back to wearing black stockings."

Hearing this, Pei Xuanji paused and corrected.

"I didn't say what I was wearing."

Seeing that the empress refused to admit it, Li Yunshu followed suit, putting his hands behind his back with a leisurely and contented look.

"Then I will go find the three-legged golden toad myself."

Anyway, I’m the only one who knows where the three-legged golden toad is, so the empress can’t deny it.

"what ever."

Pei Xuanji no longer paid attention to Li Yunshu and continued to wander around.

The closure of the capital naturally caused a commotion.

People didn't know what was going on, so many of them ran to the city gate to inquire about the situation.

However, seeing that nothing else was done except the city lockdown, the people were the first to calm down.

The Western Zhou Dynasty is different from the Great Chu. There is no market system here. Unlike the Great Chu, if you want to buy something, you can only go to the East Market and the West Market.

There are many small vendors on both sides of the streets here, and it is much more lively than in Da Chu.

Also, there is no curfew.

Even though it was already dusk, the number of pedestrians on the street increased instead of decreased.

Although it was dark, the whole street was still as bright as day as lanterns were hung up in each house.

The two of them strolled along the street in silence.

Pei Xuanji suddenly stopped when passing by a stall.

On the side, Li Yunshu looked at the stall in front of him with some curiosity.

This is a ring-shaped stall with a wide cloth spread on the ground, on which are placed all kinds of things, including antiques, jade articles, toys, jewelry, etc.

He first carefully scanned the items on the stall and found nothing unusual.

Then he glanced at the empress out of the corner of his eye. The stall contained only ordinary items, and he didn't know why the empress stopped.

Is there anything you like?

Li Yunshu took a look at the jewelry on the stall. They were all ordinary and obviously of poor quality.

It doesn’t cost much to set up a circle at this kind of stall, so most of the things on display are cheap.

Even if the trap is successful, the stall owner will not lose too much.

Only one or two valuable items are placed in the most difficult position of the stall to attract customers.

As soon as the two people stopped, the stall owner came forward with a bunch of rings on his arms.

"Sir, do you want to play? One penny per round."

Seeing that the empress had no intention of leaving, Li Yunshu spoke.

"Ten circles."

"Okay."

The stall owner counted out ten circles from his arm, handed them to Li Yunshu, and then took ten cents.

Li Yunshu held a circle in his hand, eager to try.

"Which one do you like?"

The empress glanced at the ten circles in Li Yunshu's hand and said calmly.

"You can choose whichever one you like."

"it is good."

Li Yunshu nodded, then turned around and put the hoop in his hand around the empress's neck.

"I like this."

Chapter 51 If you need a back rub, I can

The moment the noose was around his neck, the air stagnated.

Pei Xuanji lowered his head slightly and checked the circle around his neck.

Hey.

The loop broke and broke into two pieces.

Her hands were clenched tightly and her face was cold.

"What did you just say?"

Li Yunshu looked at the ring in his hand that was broken into two pieces and immediately withdrew his hand.

"Boss, why is your ring so fragile?"

"Oh... sorry, I'll change it for you."

The stall owner immediately took off another ring from his arm and handed it to Li Yunshu.

Glancing at the empress from the corner of his eye, Li Yunshu no longer dared to be presumptuous.

He glanced around the stall, trying to guess what the empress wanted, and finally locked onto the hairpin farthest away.

He bent down slightly and threw the hoop out.

However, the ferrule is made of bamboo and is more flexible.

The moment it touched the ground, it bounced up and rolled to the side.

cough cough.

Li Yunshu was a little embarrassed and immediately threw out another one.

Failed again.

Fall through.

Fall through.

……

Li Yunshu only had two rings left in his hand. At this point it was no longer a question of what the empress wanted, but a question of face.

If the empress had not been standing by, he would have used his spiritual power long ago.

Picking up the only two rings on his arm, Li Yunshu took a deep breath and adjusted himself to the best condition.

As the hoop was thrown out - it missed.

Ah--

On the side, Pei Xuanji snorted at the right time.
