The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

At this moment, she thought of another thing and asked hurriedly, "By the way...are you still blaming me for the Qingyun Tower incident?"

She remembered what the cannon fodder rookie had told her, that the female devil had enslaved Feng Xiao to repair the Qingyun Tower, but how could his weak body withstand such a huge task? Although he had saved his own people, the Qingyun Tower incident still made him feel resentful.

Feng Xiao was stunned again, showing hesitation. After a pause, he replied, "My Phoenix Clan was blessed by the gods with the ability to repair wood and create things, and it has been passed down to this day. However, the city lord is a little dissatisfied with the craftsmanship of the people in the clan. He thinks that the skills of the younger generation in the clan are not as good as mine, so he ordered me to supervise the construction of Qingyun Tower all day long... I know what the city lord means, so I do it myself, hoping to complete the Qingyun Tower as soon as possible."

So that's what happened. So, Feng Xiao was quite thoughtful. He knew that the devil girl wanted him to practice by himself, but in terms of intelligence, the devil girl was better. On the surface, she gave him a small official position to supervise the work in a show of force, but in fact, she let him understand and make his own choices, either to be well-behaved and sensible, or to play dumb. It was obvious that Feng Xiao's actions satisfied the devil girl, so she doted on him so much.

After all, leaders like obedient subordinates.

Mu Hanxing wanted to know what the female devil wanted to do by building the Qingyun Tower. After all, if there was no such tower, General Funing from the human world would not have been able to lead his troops up the tower and attack the city. Wouldn't that have indirectly harmed herself.

So, she pretended to sigh: "At the beginning, I had no choice but to order you and your people to build the tower together. If everyone had a pair of skillful hands like you, how could I bear to let you go... Hey, do you think this Qingyun Tower has harmed me or helped me?"

Feng Xiao lowered his eyes, and an expression of "guessing the emperor's heart" soon appeared on his fair and handsome face. As expected, he said with flattery: "It is those mortals who are ungrateful. The city lord wanted to build the Qingyun Tower with good intentions. The spiritual energy in the heaven is abundant, and Fuyue City is beautiful. It is such a holy place. You hope that even mortals in the human world who are not destined to ascend to immortality can one day take refuge and make a living in Fuyue City. You also said a sentence, 'I hope that the people of this world, even if they do not have an excellent destiny, can be illuminated by the Buddha's light.'"

...So that's it.

Are you sure the female devil is the villain? She is becoming more and more unconvinced! She always feels that something is fishy.

Feng Xiao was talkative and likable, so Mu Hanxing couldn't help but chat with him about random things. She also accompanied him to eat some cakes and drink some tea before leaving his palace.

I have to say, she really stayed in Yuyuan Palace the longest. Feng Xiao was really good at making her happy...

After asking around, except for Long Jin, the other two people cleared themselves of the charges. However, she felt that they were all very suspicious, but the most suspicious one was the God of Wealth. She was also tired today and felt that she should go into seclusion and practice as soon as possible. It was not wise to blindly investigate the truth in case she alerted the enemy.

Halfway through the journey, she became hesitant, stopped, and turned back to Huichun Mansion.

Huichun Mansion is the central medical clinic in Fuyue City. Qionghua, who is busy studying medicine in the clinic every day, is the head of the fairy doctors. She is a fairy with a bit of facial paralysis, but she is pretty and calm. She is quite loyal to the female devil, so when she saw her coming, she put down the bottles and jars in her hands, walked to the door to greet her, and said respectfully: "Lord City Lord."

"Well, Qionghua, I have something to ask you." Mu Hanxing stepped into the Huichun Mansion.

In the hall, the fairies who were busy fiddling with elixirs saw her coming and hurried over to greet her. Mu Hanxing said domineeringly, "No need to be polite. You can leave first. I have something important to discuss with the Prime Minister."

"Yes!" The fairies in the clinic quickly left and went about their own business.

As soon as the hall quieted down, Mu Hanxing asked Qionghua, "You have been treating Feng Xiao's illness these days, right?"

Qionghua's eyes were deep and quiet. She said respectfully, "Yes, what does the Lord City Lord want to ask? Is Master Feng Xiao's illness real or fake?"

Mu Hanxing was stunned. This girl is so smart.

At this time, Qionghua turned around and found a piece of paper on the shelf with Feng Xiao's symptoms written on it. The handwriting on the paper was full of spiritual light, and there was also Qionghua's unique leaf-shaped mark as a signature at the end, which no one could forge.

Mu Hanxing took it and looked at it. The symptoms written on it were exactly the same as what she knew. It seemed that Feng Xiao was not pretending to be sick. At most, he was exaggerating his illness and taking the opportunity to avoid serving the emperor.

She was still skeptical. She had to have the heart of an emperor to be feared by others. So she said meaningfully, "This time, there was a great battle in the city. After the battle, you also cured many of my people. You deserve a reward. What do you want?"

This was unexpected for Qionghua. She was stunned, but said simply: "Reply to the Lord City Lord, add two gold leaves to the monthly salary."

Mu Hanxing: “…”

Can this kind of greedy personality belong only to her?

This girl was smart and straightforward. She felt that the chances of her being an undercover agent were a little low, but just in case, she followed the plan and asked tentatively, "It's a bit vulgar to ask for money..."

Qionghua insisted, "Your Excellency the City Lord, I am a layman, and I am still like this after my ascension."

Mu Hanxing: “…”

Change of plans, money buys off.

Mu Hanxing agreed straightforwardly: "I can increase the monthly salary, but you also know that there are a lot of people in this city now, and I'm afraid there are remnants of the rebels from the three realms. I don't want you to be Feng Xiao's secret agent, and I don't want you to be anyone's secret agent. Do you understand what I mean?"

Qionghua finally understood the city lord's purpose of coming to Huichun Mansion. She came to test her background.

She still had a calm face and said soberly, "The Lord City Lord was reborn in the war, unharmed. All the people were shocked and had their own thoughts. At this time, the best policy is to surrender obediently. I am willing to lend you a hand. After all, I have known you much earlier than those young masters. Although you may have been bribed by the God of Wealth, you saved my life a long time ago. In addition, my position as the head of Huichun Mansion was entirely due to the appreciation of the Lord City Lord. Qionghua dare not forget these."

Qionghua said this very beautifully, and Mu Hanxing was stunned. She admired her a little in her heart, and wanted to recruit her as soon as possible to be the exclusive immortal doctor of her Xihe Palace, but after thinking about it, she felt that reputation was more important, and it was not glorious to occupy the position of the head of the immortal doctors, so she gave up.

She nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I have made note of the two gold leaves. I will explain this to the immortal officials. I will trouble you with many other matters in the future."

She emphasized the word "trouble". I believe Qionghua is very smart and will understand what she meant.

As expected, Qionghua understood and said respectfully, "Qionghua understands."

The implication is that Qionghua can be bribed, but only by her.

With a reliable person by his side, Mu Hanxing felt relieved and returned to the palace with peace of mind.
