The little servant heaved a long sigh of relief, "Thank you, Third Princess."

This couldn't be better. He was really afraid that this precious princess would snatch jobs from him and he wouldn't be able to win.

Not long after, Li Xuanji gradually woke up from his coma after taking the medicine.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuanshuang, who had been standing by, hurried forward and pushed the little book boy aside. Then, she put on a high-handed attitude and said in a soft and sweet voice, "Master Xuanji, you are finally awake!"

Hearing these words, Li Xuanji, who had just woken up and was still a little confused, was suddenly startled.

I just felt dizzy and dazed, and in a trance I couldn't recognize that the woman in front of me was the third princess.

Seeing this strange woman coming so close to him and talking to him, Li Xuanji couldn't help but feel a surge of fear and vigilance in his heart.

He almost raised his hand and slapped the other person away.

The little servant boy was knocked to his back and didn't care about etiquette at this moment. He quickly got up and pushed Xiao Yuanshuang away.

"My Lord, are you feeling better?"

"I have the sedan chair and carriage waiting for you. We can go back to the Imperial Master's Mansion now."

Only when he saw the familiar person did Li Xuanji regain his sanity.

"Why is the Third Princess here?" Li Xuanji frowned and hurriedly got up from the bed despite his unbearable headache.

This situation looks weird no matter how you look at it.

If possible, he really wanted to slap Xiao Yuanshuang away.

Fortunately, this is the Imperial Hospital. If it were somewhere else, it would really be like... a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

Somehow, when he saw Xiao Yuanshuang's eyes, this word suddenly popped up in Li Xuanji's mind.

Just as Xiao Yuanshuang was about to speak, the little servant boy spoke first, "Sir, Imperial Physician Liu has told you to go find him as soon as you wake up, and he will take your pulse again."

"Please put on your cloak, or you will get cold."

"The New Year is coming soon."

"His Majesty has come to see you in person..."

The little servant boy kept on chattering, not giving Xiao Yuanshuang any chance to interrupt.

Xiao Yuanshuang widened his eyes, as if fire was about to burst out of them, and stared at the backs of the two people who were walking away.

The anger in my heart was like an active volcano about to erupt, constantly rolling and surging.

But this was not her territory, so she took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.

Seeing this, the maid next to her immediately lowered her voice and said, "How abominable! A lowly servant has the guts to ruin the princess's good deeds!"

"Okay," Xiao Yuanshuang felt that she had been insulted and provoked like never before.

His nails dug deeply into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all. He still left with a smile on his face.

He took his men straight out of the palace and came to a rouge shop in the capital.

Did that old bastard Murong Anle think that everything would be fine as long as he arranged her and Xiao Yuanche in the palace?

Money can make the world go round.

Without telling Xiao Yuanche, she had someone buy a rouge shop in the capital.

As for whether Murong Anle would know or not, it didn’t matter.

This was just a base she set up to confuse Murong Anle.

We arrived at the second floor of the Rouge Shop. Generally, men were not allowed to go up to the second floor of the Rouge Shop.

The person responsible for monitoring her would not come up unless there was nothing wrong.

Xiao Yuanshuang pushed open the wall of a private room on the second floor and came to the shop next door.

This is the second floor of a shop called "Huajianling Wine Shop".

This shop has been in operation for twenty years.

It had been selling wine honestly, and no one knew that this was a secret spy base of the State of Yue.

The light in the room seemed a little dim, as if covered by a layer of gauze.

The air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, which was a bit choking.

Looking around, you can see several old wine jars placed in the corner. The surfaces of these wine jars are covered with dust and mottled marks, and they seem to have witnessed the vicissitudes of time.

"Owner."

In the shadow, two ghostly men in black stood silently. They were tightly wrapped in inky black cloth from head to toe, as if they had merged into the darkness, making it impossible to see their true appearance or capture any features.

Xiao Yuanshuang glanced at the two of them and spoke coldly.

"Kill someone for me."

"Master please give me your instructions."

"The personal servant beside Li Xuanji."

The two secret guards did not respond immediately and were obviously hesitant.

They were like hibernating insects hiding in the darkness, quietly living in a corner of the vast country of Qing, carefully concealing their true identities, and living a humble life like ants on the second floor of this small tavern.

In order to avoid attracting other people's attention, they almost never step out of this small world unless they have to.

Twenty whole years passed quietly in this endless silence and dormancy.

They always hold on, just waiting for that crucial moment to come and play an important role.

However, what is incredible is that who could have expected that the goal they pursued after going through so much hardship and effort was just to get rid of a seemingly insignificant book boy?

"What? You didn't receive the order?" Xiao Yuanshuang said in a cold tone.

Before leaving, her father handed her a token and told her that the two secret guards here were loyal and had no ulterior motives, and she could use them in case of emergency.

Last time, she had contacted the two with the token and was sure she could use it for her own benefit.

Unexpectedly, these two people dared to be so disobedient.

Humph, just wait and see. When she ascends the throne, these two will be the first to be executed.

How dare you disobey the Holy Command!

The secret guard immediately bowed his head and saluted, "No, Master, please rest assured."

Humph.

Xiao Yuanshuang snorted coldly and turned away, "Don't ruin my plan. I want to receive news of the death of the book boy before the day after tomorrow."

"Also, be careful of the alcohol on you. Li Xuanji is not an ordinary person. He is very smart and powerful."

"Yes."

...

After leaving the side hall, Li Xuanji regained consciousness. He knew medical skills and did not need to look for Liu Shouren again.

Fainting today was purely an accident.

After getting on the sedan chair and heading out of the palace, Li Xuanji asked the little servant boy, "What happened?"

The little book boy recounted the whole story in detail.

Li Xuanji held a cup of hot tea in his hand, his eyes were as cold as the wind and snow outside the door.

"It seems that the Yue Kingdom delegation is also restless in the capital."

"Send a letter to Murong Anle, asking him to find something for the Xiao brothers and sisters to do."

"Yes."

The little servant boy poured more tea for Li Xuanji.

"Your Majesty, did you reward Liu Shouren later?"

"Yes."

Li Xuanji had never expected that His Majesty would personally visit him at the Imperial Hospital.

Even during the years when the master and disciple had a close relationship, Murong Yue had never visited him alone except for giving him lessons.

Who could have expected that His Majesty, who now has a childlike mind, would come to visit me in person.

Li Xuanji, who is already old, finally felt some of Murong Yue's admiration.

Ugh...
