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

Wubai's expression did not change at all, as if he was not worried at all about the sharp blade that was about to pierce his eyes.

Seeing the fearless face of the kneeling figure, Emperor Qi Zhao gritted his teeth in anger. "Is the princess safe? Did she say when she would be back?"

Wu Bai clasped his fists and replied, "The princess is safe. The time of her return is yet to be determined."

Emperor Qi Zhao's face darkened. "Send someone to bring Li You back once traffic is restored to Bianlu City."

"Yes."

The prefect of Bianlu City.

Lu Yanlin and Xing Jin from the Water Department were busy, keeping a close eye on the amount of water for spring irrigation. They didn't know whether it was really God's blessing or the lowering of the water level that reduced the overall bearing capacity, but in short, the spring irrigation was still stable.

Xia Feng followed Lord Lu every day, and Lu Yanlin became visibly more reliable. He never asked a word that he shouldn't have asked, and Xia Feng told him everything he could ask.

Xing Jin was followed by a "Jiu Mu", who was naturally Kang Jue in disguise. At that time, the wanted criminal of the Dali Temple had disguised himself, so ordinary people really couldn't find him.

When Xing Jin first saw this "Jiu Mu", he was also shocked for a while. Could it be that he had guessed wrong?

But in the following days, he followed Lord Lu around all the time, and it was not suitable to have him around. I only know that he helped a lot in the Water Department.

"Yuan Feng and the others have already been recognized by the master. Now they are following the young lady. The master is about to start making plans."

Xia Feng took advantage of the night to make an appointment with Kang Jue to have a secret talk with Shang Si.

Kang Jue wiped his face and suppressed the shock in his eyes.

The man from Ya'an City has been very obvious in his recent actions. Apart from those who followed Mu Lanxun, many people are still unaware of it. I'm afraid His Majesty has already made up his mind and will not let Prince Mu Jiu return home safely.

"With only a year left, Emperor Qi Zhao suddenly changed his mind and showed great concern for Miss. I always feel that this is not normal."

Xia Feng was frowning. Chun Geng had been hiding in the Dali Temple for several years and had found out many secrets of the royal family. Now he had sorted them out. As long as Mu Lanxun gave the order, Chun Geng could release the news.

By then, the entire Shangli Kingdom might not be shaken to its foundation, but it would at least give the world a lot of discussion, which would be a real blow to winning the hearts of the people.

But this move was really not a good one. Once the dirty deeds of the royal family were exposed, the Chu State would be in trouble, and Mu Lanxun could not hide it.

If this isn't handled properly, war will break out.

What will you do then, young lady?

Miss, will you let this happen?

"Emperor Qi Zhao knows that the princess can predict things, so he must be coveting her." Yuanri's voice suddenly sounded.

"Boss?" Xia Feng opened his mouth in surprise, and then saw Kang Jue and Shang Si's faces darkened as if they had thought of something.

She was a little slow to realize that traffic in Bianlu City had resumed?

The few people standing here at this moment are all Mu Lanxun's confidants, and they have followed Feng Xili for a long time. The clues she usually reveals are enough for people to guess.

After Phoenix City's Moonside Lake, the four of them already knew everything, but they were the only ones who knew that the God-given abilities were not obtained in vain.

The young lady's illnesses and injuries all came out of nowhere. She was drowsy in the early stages and vomited blood in the later stages. No wonder the master only wanted to take her away.

What Xia Feng could think of, the other three also thought of, "As an emperor, if I could have such a risk-avoidance weapon, it would be of great benefit to the country and my family."

Kang Jue's distressed voice clearly came into his mind, "Does Your Majesty know this?"

Xia Feng frowned and muttered to himself.

Yuanri glanced over and said, "I'm not sure."

As expected, there is no free lunch in the world. Feng Xili's rise from a concubine of the prime minister's family to the eldest princess of Shangli Kingdom is just like a random scene in a play.

"However, since Emperor Qi Zhao wants to keep the princess, he will definitely not let the master take her away..."

Yuanri and the others witnessed with their own eyes the wind, rain, snow and frost that the two had to endure along the way, and none of them suspected that Mu Lanxun also had ulterior motives.

Not only because he was their master and they understood him, but also because it was the princess's own choice.

"Everyone, get ready. That person has already attacked once, and there's no guarantee he won't do it again. We can't go back to Zixiang Palace."

Yuanri explained one sentence at a time. The young lady was still waiting for the master, and the master was still waiting for him. The two of them had to sneak back to Ya'an City and take advantage of the gap before the man launched the second wave.

"Messengers are no longer reliable at this time. All information must be passed on orally."

Yuanri said a few more words, then patted everyone on the shoulders and left.

Xia Feng sighed, turned around and asked Shang Si, "What's going on with Wu Bai?"

"master……"

Outside Ya'an City, Yuanri looked at the heavily guarded city gate with a frown on his face. All those entering the city were searched and asked to register.

Emperor Qi Zhao is not even willing to maintain the appearance?

Mu Lanxun stood not far from the city gate, leading his horse, looking at the long line of people waiting to enter the city, and sneered in his heart.

If he wanted to go into the city, this difficulty would not be a problem for him.

"..."

"Who?" He turned around suddenly and saw a person jumping down from a tree not far behind him.
