Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

What do you care about most?

Isn't that just...

He froze, as if he suddenly thought of something, and looked up at Shang Si, with a brighter light burning in his eyes.

It’s Miss Feng!

"Hey~ Boss! You just realized it?" Shangsi knew that he had already thought of it, so he didn't say it too bluntly.

They couldn't go back before the New Year, and the master was definitely worried about Miss Feng. Yuanri knew Mu Lanxun's thoughts best, and only when he went back could the master focus on dealing with things here.

Yuanri shook off his tiredness, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, jumped up and climbed onto the horse's back, looking at Shangsi with gratitude.

The master leaves it to you! He conveyed it wordlessly.

Shangsi nodded, feeling a little envious of his master's trust in the boss.

Watching the horses' hooves kicking up snow and moving farther and farther away, he let out a breath. The boss had arranged for external aid last night, so he had to hurry up and make the arrangements.

Qingshui Town is unlikely to have any peace.

Xueyue Mansion in Ya'an City.

Early this morning, the first snowflakes of this winter fell from the sky.

Feng Xili opened the window and saw a light layer of white covering the courtyard. She looked at the tiny white ice particles falling from the sky and wondered what was happening to Mu Mu.

Someone was preventing them from leaving the country and slowing down their journey. She didn't quite understand why Emperor Qi Zhao asked Mu Mu to escort them out of the country?

Mu Lanxun was a hostage sent by the State of Chu, but now he has to escort the envoys of the State of Chu out of the country. When Emperor Qi Zhao arranged for him to do the escort, did he really not think too much about it?

She always felt uneasy and unconsciously reached out to catch the snowflakes bouncing on her sleeves.

"I wonder if it's snowing there?"

She was mumbling unconsciously and didn't even notice that Lai Xiang had put a cloak on her.

"Princess, it's cold, please don't get caught in the wind." Lai Xiang whispered in her ear, "This is a hand warmer, please hold it. Look at your hands, they are as cold as ice."

Feng Xili blinked. This girl was becoming more and more like an old lady.

She watched as the little girl pulled her into the house, handed her a hand warmer, closed the window, and expertly made tea for her. She also laid out a table full of food. Her eyebrows curved, "Why are you alone? Are you here for the night?"

Lai Xiang pursed her lips and smiled, "Princess, have you forgotten? Lai Ye asked you for a day off yesterday to go see some sister."

Oh, yes. She suddenly remembered that this was the case.

But, Lai Ye has a sister in Ya'an City? How come she doesn't know?

"Okay, I forgot, what is this? Did the kitchen make something new?" She looked at the pastry on the table that looked like a flower bud. It must be...

"His Majesty sent it here, saying it was for the princess to try." Lai Xiang wrinkled her nose, feeling that His Majesty was extremely caring towards his own princess.

…Alas~

"Is Xia Feng back?" she asked. According to the time, she had to go to the palace, so it would be more convenient for Xia Feng to come with her.

Ever since he accidentally revealed to Emperor Qi Zhao last time that his imperial garden would be hit by a heavy rain and most of it might be destroyed, he had arranged it to be placed in the main hall in advance.

From time to time, he would send me an elbow today, a fan or a screen tomorrow, and now he even eagerly sent me snacks when I was bored.

She pursed her lips and accepted her fate and played the role of a fortune teller.

"Is Li You here?" Before she entered the study, she heard Qi Zhaodi's cheerful voice. Fude beside her grinned and quickly responded for her.

"Your Majesty has really good hearing. The princess just arrived."

Ford smiled with wrinkles on his face. After sending her in, he closed the door very tactfully.

Feng Xili was speechless, as if she was plotting something big with His Majesty.

"See..." she began.

"No, no, I've told you so many times, you girl, just want to contradict me, right?"

Emperor Qi Zhao was still wearing his shining dragon robe behind the desk, but his tone was a little helpless, but without any hint of blame.

Feng Xili was halfway through her greeting when she stood up straight and sat down at the table without any hesitation. She poured herself a cup of steaming hot tea and raised her glass to someone with the steam rising from it.

……

Emperor Qi Zhao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You really are..."

This clever little girl is so smart.

"As the New Year approaches, is there any gift Li You would like?" Emperor Qi Zhao asked while correcting memorials with his head down, not caring at all that the contents of the memorials were read by others.

"No..." The corners of her smiling mouth suddenly trembled. She didn't know what the final outcome of Tianxu's matter would be. For now, she should ask His Majesty for a way out.

"...What special desire is there? After all, His Majesty has even prepared all the fruits and pastries for daily needs. If Li You is not satisfied, he will appear to be taking advantage of his favor and becoming arrogant."

She knew that Emperor Qi Zhao wanted to use her fortune-teller ability, and that would definitely give her greater benefits.

Sure enough, the next moment, Emperor Qi Zhao raised his eyes and looked at her thoughtfully.

"It's okay. Strictly speaking, the princess has wronged you. I will satisfy whatever Li You wants." Emperor Qi Zhao waved his hand generously.

Feng Xili pursed her lips, looked around, and then walked towards the desk cautiously.

Emperor Qi Zhao watched the girl walk up to him and waved to him to indicate that she had something to tell him in private. His eyelids twitched violently. No one had ever been so relaxed in front of him.

She spoke cautiously and quietly, "Your Majesty, this snowfall will have some impact on the Xilin border. You should make some preparations early."

Qi Zhaodi tightened the pen in his hand and looked at her questioningly.

"Someone poisoned it." Xilin is Shangli's granary and storage area, but most people don't know much about it. They only know that it is sparsely populated, remote, and suffers from perennial drought.

These four simple words were like four thunderclaps, which made Emperor Qi Zhao's brush fall down and the words on the memorial become blurred.

Feng Xili accidentally glanced over and was surprised to see her own name on the memorial.

Noticing the inquiring look of the emperor beside her, her scalp went numb. Fortunately, there was not much scientific research spirit here, otherwise if what she said came true, she would probably be tied up and sliced ​​into pieces for research.

However, when he met her timid eyes, the unhappiness in Qi Zhaodi's heart surprisingly dissipated a lot.

Such a major event cannot be compared with flooding a few pots of flowers and plants. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Li You, are you sure?"

You really can keep your cool.

"Eighty percent certain." Feng Xili replied again in a low voice, "If Your Majesty wants to take action, he must investigate secretly and use strangers."

As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Qi Zhao's expression changed completely. If Feng Xili's words were true, it meant that there was a problem with the people who were sent to guard before.

Xilin is located in the hinterland of the southwest of the entire Shangli Kingdom, not far from Ya'an City. It carries nearly half of the grain harvest of the entire Shangli Kingdom. The other two granaries are located one in the east and the other in the north, and only a few people know their exact locations.

Throughout history, food reserves have always been a major concern for a country's people's livelihood. As the saying goes, if you have enough food in hand, you will not be worried.

Now someone has set his sights on food. As the emperor of Shangli Kingdom, that is something he cannot tolerate at all.

"Princess, do you know that if Xilin is fine, what you just said means that Jiu will be executed..." Emperor Qi Zhao said the fierce words, but he was scared back by her blinking eyes.

He suddenly realized, wow! This Nine Clans is incredible!

There have never been many royal descendants in Shangli Kingdom, so there are very few princes in each generation. Naturally, there is no scene of fighting for the throne, so the family affection within the royal family is still relatively strong.

His royal grandfather and father had painstakingly searched for the lost bloodline, and finally found some clues in his generation. He had to protect it at all costs.

Didn't he just say a few unbelievable words? I can handle it!

"What do you want?" It was Emperor Qi Zhao's turn to ask timidly.

Feng Xili looked at him with sparkling eyes, which made his heart beat wildly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. It's not a big deal. Li You just wants three gold medals of immunity from death."

What? A death-free medal? Three more?
