The Marquis Is Innocent - 167.1

Chapter 167.1

“Close your eyes, don’t peek ……”

Wei Shao held Xiao Qiao’s hand while she closed her eyes according to his instructions. Under the gazes from a group of palace people, he led her slowly around the Ganquan Pond in the Imperial Garden before finally stopping.

“Arrived. Open your eyes!”

Hearing his smug voice coming from him, Xiao Qiao opened her eyes.

As soon as she lifted her gaze, her eyes immediately straightened.

This was the Gate Cloud Cliffs!

She stared at this giant cliff in front of her: nearly three zhang in height, four or five zhang in length, standing in front of her like a small mountain…

To be precise, this was a part of the mountain wall. Although it had been repaired, there are still traces of residual moss that came from the weather erosion on the surface.

She turned her head and met the Emperor’s eyes that longed for praise.

“Is this the surprise you said you wanted to give me?”

“Yes!”

Wei Shao had already taken her reaction. She didn’t jump up in surprise?

Did she not recognize what this was?

Wei Shao pointed his finger at the object next to the Ganquan Pond and emphasized, “The real form of the Gate Clouds Cliff!”

Happy? Moved?

It was nothing, only a little bit of intention.

The Emperor endured, finally holding back these two words that popped up, watching his Empress from the sidelines, looking forward to more of her reaction.

Xiao Qiao walked to the front of the cliff, reaching out to slowly touch the words on the top that was cut one by one as if they carried the scent of centuries of wind and rain.

“I am afraid that in the short term, I have no time to take you out of Luoyang. I know you have been thinking about it, so I moved it over, and in the future, you can look at it anytime you want  …….”

No matter how good Gao Heng’s topography is, how can it compare to this? Dump him to nowhere!

“How is it? Do you like it?”

After a long time, seeing that she was slow to make a sound with her back to him, Wei Shao walked closer to her and asked.

Xiao Qiao finally turned back.

“Your Majesty is thoughtful, I……”

“Unexpected it!” She weighed her words and laughed.

Xiao Qiao’s reaction made Wei Shao feel lost in his heart, and out of a need to make amends, he reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Xiao Qiao looked back at a group of maids on the banks of the Ganquan pool. Their eyes seemed to casted this way. She gently struggled and pushed his arm, “There are people around. It’s broad daylight ……”

“Why?”

Wei Shao saw her dodge. Without turning his head, he flicked his hand toward the people behind him. The maids were busy leaving. He lowered his head, gently licking and biting her delicate ears, tempting her with his hoarse voice in her ears: “As long as Man Man like, talk to me, no matter what, I will help you to get it …….”

Her ears were itchy from him blowing and biting. Xiao Qiao shrunk her neck, pushed away his face, and smiled sweetly, “Husband treats me well. It’s just that ……”

She paused. “This cliff has been in the Yunmen for hundreds of years. Fortunately, it was not damaged when Your Majesty moved it to Luoyang. If there is some damage, won’t I become a sinner?”

Wei Shao hesitated, “You’re not happy?”

Xiao Qiao shook her head, “I know Your Majesty is doing this for me. How could I be unhappy? It’s just that I’m a bit worried for His Majesty ……”

“Worried about what?” Wei Shao was stunned.

“If Wei Quan and the others knew that Your Majesty had moved the Cliffs into the palace to satisfy my eyes, they would impeach me. Wei Quan’s temperament, Your Majesty, you knew it too ……”

Wei Shao’s heart involuntarily thumped.

Wei Quan’s temperament, no one knew better than him. The scene of being chased by him to the toilet back then was still fresh in his mind today.

“Don’t bother with him!” He frowned, his tone unpleasant. “I just asked someone to get you a rock. He even wants to be concerned about this?”

Xiao Qiao sighed, “It’s fine for Wei Quan and the others. Once the Empress Dowager returns to the palace, she will know about it as well, and if she asks me, what will I say then?”

Mrs. Xu, the Empress Dowager, resided in Jiade Palace. When Mrs. Xu was in the palace, Fei Fei had to go to her grandmother’s side daily. A few days ago, Mrs. Xu took Fei Fei to the Royal Daming Temple, and they haven’t returned.

According to the original plan, they would be back in two days.

Xiao Qiao grabbed Wei Shao’s dragon robe with both hands and gently shook it, “If the Empress Dowager asks how the Cliffs got from the mountains to the Imperial Garden, how will I respond to her, Your Majesty?”

Wei Shao was speechless for a moment.

He forgot about this! At first, he had called Mr. Jia in a huff and waited for it to arrive in Luoyang without thinking so much.

Now things are delivered, Wei Shao realized he seemed to move a hot potato into the palace. Not to mention that Xiao Qiao’s reaction was far from his expectation. It was impossible to hide the Cliffs. As Xiao Qiao said, eventually, Wei Quan will hear about it. He was Imperial Secretary, and he had nothing to do. If he knew about this, he would be complaining.
