After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Xu Qingqing was unaware of the eye contact between the two people behind her. She checked the progress of the transfer with a few others, and seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Xu Qingqing felt slightly relieved.

……

Xu Qingqing followed the person who brought her into the Imperial Master's Mansion. At this time, the Imperial Master's Mansion was filled with a tense and mysterious atmosphere.

Xu Qingqing was invited to the Imperial Master's study. It was clearly daytime, but the room was full of candlelight. Imperial Master Li Feng was sitting behind a carved mahogany table with eyes as deep as the sea.

He was wearing a blue robe of high quality, with delicate dark patterns embroidered on the lapels and a gold belt tied around his waist, which made him look both dignified and elegant. He wore a high crown on his head, and his hair was combed meticulously, with a few strands of hair hanging down gently, which added a bit of scholarly temperament.

There was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, making people feel warm as spring, but if you look closely, you will find that his smile has not reached the corners of his eyes, where there is an imperceptible shrewdness and ruthlessness.

"Miss Xu, I've heard of your name for a long time and have wanted to meet you. Now that you're here, we might as well have a chat." Li Feng's voice was low and carried an indescribable sticky feeling. He smiled at Xu Qingqing, but there was not much smile in his eyes, only temptation.

Xu Qingqing bowed in a dignified manner and responded, "You are too kind, Imperial Master. I am just a woman. How can I deserve such trouble from the Imperial Master?"

Li Feng nodded slightly, as if he was not surprised by her answer. He glanced at Xu Qingqing and spoke slowly, with a hint of tentativeness in his words: "Miss Xu, you are too modest. I observed the stars and found that the stars have been moving strangely recently, which seems to be related to you."

Xu Qingqing's heart trembled, but her face remained calm. Her eyes moved and she smiled sweetly: "The Imperial Master is really good at joking. Qingqing is just an ordinary businessman. How can the Imperial Master care about her? However, since the Imperial Master mentioned it, I believe he must have discovered something. Please enlighten me."

Li Feng stared at Xu Qingqing with a sharp gaze, trying to find the answer from her eyes: "As far as I know, an alien star fell more than ten years ago. Miss Xu, have you heard of it?"

Xu Qingqing pondered in her heart, but on the surface she remained calm: "Alien planet? Qingqing did hear such legends when she was young, but they were just stories told by the old people and are not credible."

Li Feng nodded slightly, with a half-smile on his face: "Stories often contain truth, Miss Xu, you and I are both knowledgeable people, why should we hide it?"

Xu Qingqing's heart was in turmoil, but she knew that she couldn't reveal her flaws at this time, so she sighed and pretended to be calm: "The national teacher is right. Although Qingqing doesn't understand the situation, I think I am just a merchant and I am definitely not an important person. The national teacher is of noble status and knows everything about ancient and modern times. I admire him very much."

Li Feng stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night sky, and his tone became serious: "The world is about to be in chaos. I need to find the alien star to calm the people and protect the country. Miss Xu, do you understand?"

Xu Qingqing's heart moved, thinking to herself that Li Feng was really disgusting, actually coveting her huge fortune!

Doesn't he know that taking someone's money is like killing their parents?

However, it was not the time to turn hostile. She took a deep breath and said calmly, "In that case, I, Lun Xiaoyao, will do my best to help you."

Li Feng turned around, his eyes sharp, and spoke again: "Miss Xu, if you have concealed something, you can be given a lighter sentence if you tell us now."

Xu Qingqing lowered her head slightly, her voice firm and calm: "Master, I have nothing to hide, but I know only a little. But since this is a matter of great concern to the people of the world, I will do my best to help Master."

The conversation between the two was full of wit and temptation. No one directly revealed the truth, but they both knew that this psychological battle was far from over.

Xu Qingqing knew that this game of chess had just begun, and every step had to be taken carefully in order to avoid danger.

Moreover, based on her understanding of Li Feng, even if she answered perfectly this time, she would not be able to escape his clutches.

After all, this is a person who would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.

Later, during the meal, the two of them chatted and laughed with each other, but each topic contained hidden meanings.

Li Feng tried to find clues from Xu Qingqing's answer to confirm whether she was really the legendary alien from more than ten years ago.

However, Xu Qingqing skillfully avoided the question and diverted the topic elsewhere, either resolving it with humor or responding with rhetorical questions, making it difficult to figure out her true intentions.

In this way, during the meal, the two of them continued to exchange words, but to others it seemed like a harmonious and enjoyable banquet.

Finally, Li Feng stood up and said, "I had a great time talking to Miss Xu today. Let's meet again another day."

Xu Qingqing also stood up and smiled, "I look forward to your invitation again, Master Guoshi."

The moment she turned and left, there was an inexplicable light in her eyes, making it impossible to guess her true thoughts.

Li Feng watched her back disappearing out the door, his eyes filled with darkness and he couldn't see clearly.

On the way back, Xu Qingqing already had a premonition in her heart that the calm at the moment must be just the calm before the storm.

On her way back to Lun Xiaoyao, she kept an eye on the surroundings. As expected, as soon as she entered Lun Xiaoyao, she noticed something was wrong.

Xu Qingqing keenly caught a few dark shadows flashing in the dark, her eyes flickered slightly, but she did not alarm the snakes.

Xu Qingqing's thoughts flashed by, she knew that Li Feng did not take direct action today, but instead had people keep an eye on her. He must have seen the value of using Lun Xiaoyao in her. Without confirming her alien identity, Li Feng would not act rashly, at least in the short term.

In this case, why not take advantage of Li Feng's suspicion and buy more time for herself? If Li Feng wants to keep an eye on her, then let him do it. Not only will she let him do it, but she will also let him do it at her doorstep.

Therefore, she began to deliberately create opportunities to make it easier for Li Feng's people to track her. She frequently appeared in public, participated in various flower parties and banquets, and even deliberately created a persona to make Li Feng's people feel that she was defenseless and thus let down their guard.

At the same time, she secretly strengthened Lun Xiaoyao's defense measures to ensure everyone's safety.

She also secretly contacted the people in the shadows to secretly investigate Li Feng's movements and collect intelligence in order to better deal with future changes.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

In this dangerous game with Li Feng, she not only has to protect herself, but also ensure that Lun Xiaoyao's interests are not harmed.

That night, the Prime Minister's Mansion

The Prime Minister's wife was lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper and her forehead covered with cold sweat.

It was late at night, and there was only a faint light from an oil lamp in the house. The flickering flame shone on her face, casting mottled shadows. She closed her eyes tightly, trying to find the peace of dreamland, but the shadows of the past followed her like a shadow, entangled with her and refused to let go.
