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

Feng Xili coughed twice and said, "Mu Lanxun."

Qi Zhaodi's face immediately became expressionless. "Why him?"

She smiled awkwardly, it wasn't that she didn't trust the people on His Majesty's side.

"The matter in Bianlu City is of great importance. If we send someone there without telling them the true details, do you think that ordinary people will really take it seriously?" She raised her eyes and asked.

Qi Zhaodi subconsciously wanted to confirm it, but when he met her meaningful look, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He knew and had seen people who pretended to obey but actually disobeyed, who muddled through, and who turned a blind eye.

Other things are fine, but Bian Lu City is too important and cannot be taken lightly or slacked off.

"If we tell the truth, then who can be sure of something that hasn't happened yet? And who would choose to believe it?"

"Father, if we're not careful, Li You will become a witch who seduces the king."

The last sentence successfully changed Emperor Qi Zhao's expression. Li You was the mascot of Shangli Kingdom, how could she be a witch?

If he really turned the protector of the country, Jixiang, into a "witch", I'm afraid the ancestors would have to line up to strangle him to death on the dragon throne.

He shuddered all over and sat down on the chair in a daze.

Seeing that Emperor Qi Zhao seemed to have accepted it, Feng Xili continued to lobby.

"My choice of Mu Lanxun wasn't entirely due to my relationship with him."

"First, he's young, so it's easy for people to let down their guard and find problems."

Emperor Qi Zhao raised his eyebrows and continued, "Second, you only trust him, and I only trust you."

Feng Xili, who was counting on her fingers one by one, was choked by her saliva. She was silent for a moment and did not speak again, which was considered an admission.

Having said this, how could Emperor Qi Zhao not hear it? She didn't want others to know that she was "good at fortune-telling", except Mu Lanxun.

He felt unhappy when he thought that the boy might have known about this earlier than him.

Damn brat!

He narrowed his eyes in a negotiating tone, but his tone was unquestionable: "Alright! He can go, but you have to stay."

……

Even after she got on the carriage leaving the palace, she still felt a little ridiculous. Recalling the aggrieved expression on Emperor Qi Zhao's face just now, she found it really rare!

"Go straight ahead to Prince Zixiang's Mansion." Feng Xili said suddenly.

Kang Jue lowered his hand that was about to pull the reins and said, "Yes, Princess."

"Xia Feng, come and have some of the mung bean cake His Majesty just gave me as a reward. It tastes great."

She was in a good mood and sat with Emperor Qi Zhao for a long time. When she left, she packed up the pastries for "father".

Xia Feng seemed to be in a daze and did not respond.

Feng Xili glanced at him, as if thinking about something.

Speaking of which, she hasn't been to Zixiang Palace for a long time. I wonder what Axun is busy with?

The main gate of Zixiang Palace is usually not open. After all, the hostage of Chu State lives here, and usually there are no nobles visiting.

But it was just such a coincidence that today she suddenly had the idea to come and pay a formal visit.

Then he saw the main gate of Zixiang Palace wide open, welcoming someone in.

Kang Jue was stunned on the spot, and Xia Feng felt uneasy.

What royal relative is worthy of opening the main gate to welcome him?

Feng Xili gave up the idea of ​​entering through the side door and looked at the carriage parked outside the palace gate with a calm face.

The entire carriage was made of golden nanmu wood, with carved beams and painted rafters, and silk tents. Before I even got close, I could smell the fragrance.

The two brown horses stamped their hooves from time to time, occasionally shaking their heads and snorting.

Most likely due to being smoked...

She sneered in her heart and had an urge to turn around and leave.

She suddenly stopped halfway through turning, and she became curious again. Who was making such a big fuss?

The Zixiang Palace, which has always been low-key, suddenly became lively today. It was sealed off not long ago, and not long after it was unsealed, someone came to visit in such a high-profile manner. Now there are also onlookers outside the palace.

"Whose luxurious carriage is that? Did you see it just now?" whispers were heard.

There were a few mobile vendors not far from the carriage, and a few girls were standing scattered in front of the stalls.

"I haven't seen it, but the owner of this carriage must be from the palace."

A girl in a light gauze dress was very sure. She not only spoke it, but also nodded continuously, pointed with her finger, and began to explain seriously.

"Look, that carriage has four horses, clearly belonging to the royal family. The person driving it is clearly a woman. We didn't know who lived in Prince Zixiang's mansion before, but how could we not know now?"

The girl in the gauze skirt became more and more excited as she spoke, "They greeted us at the gate. It's someone from the royal family, and it's a woman..."

Such a straightforward hint, almost mentioning the name!

"It must be the Princess Liyou who is at the peak of her career!"

With just one word, the people around the girl in the gauze skirt all looked as if they had suddenly understood.

Thinking of this, everyone nodded in agreement.

The Princess Liyou they were talking about was currently standing beside her "simple" carriage, listening to her own gossip.

Xia Feng glared and was about to step forward to speak, but Feng Xili pulled him back and made him stand still.

The few people who were gossiping just now saw another carriage coming, and they began to look around curiously.

At first glance, this one doesn't look that good. The carriage is purple-red in color, with no extra decorations. There are only two large white beads inlaid on the door armrests, and a dark-black horse.

It looked pitch black, and the carriage was small, so it could probably only seat two or three people.

"Miss, are you here to look for Prince Mu Jiu?" Feng Xili only stood there for a short moment. Just as she grabbed Xia Feng, several people from a distance came over.

The scrutinizing look was quite rude. She raised her eyebrows and said, "You could say that."

"I advise you not to go. Did you see that?" Someone pointed at the extremely luxurious carriage not far away.

A sour tone hit him, "The owner of that carriage has been visiting every day these past few days, and he always goes through the main gate of the palace. Do you know who he is?"

"I'll tell you in secret, that's our Majesty's recently found biological daughter, Princess Liyou!"

"That's right! Princess Liyou is incredible. She was already favored by His Majesty when she was just a princess. Who would have thought that she would become a real princess now!"

"I had the pleasure of seeing the princess from behind yesterday. She was so graceful and elegant!"

A few young ladies were chattering away, talking to each other, making it very lively.

Feng Xili laughed, "Are you sure..."

"So, you ordinary person, you'd better stop making yourself uncomfortable."

"That's right! Prince Mu Jiu made great contributions in saving the emperor some time ago. Anyone with a smart mind can see that he has a promising future. Many people have come to visit him recently!"

"So, you ordinary people with nothing should know your place. Some people are not something you can covet!"

It’s really a drama involving three women!

The three girls sang the opera with great enthusiasm. Feng Xili couldn't help but look down at her own clothes. How could the Xiangyunsha, which was worth every inch of gold, become the clothes of ordinary people here?

She really wanted to ask, how many Xiangyunsha dresses did they have?

However, she had a more pressing question, "Does the princess you mentioned, who rides in a luxurious carriage, really come to visit every day?"
