Su Qingying.It's not their fault for having a bad attitude. They are working hard to do business, and Su Qingying came yelling loudly, which made it seem like she was here to challenge them."Phoenix...After getting rid of Lan Xin Yao, Situ Wan'er finally let go of Su Qingying's arm and took a few steps back, slightly bowing to her with a gentle demeanor. "Princess Dongyue, I apologize for the offense just now."
"Do you know me" Su Qingying looked at her in surprise. Not to mention how she knew she was a woman, the most important thing was that she actually knew her identity. How could Su Qingying not be surprised
Sithu Wan'er nodded and smiled playfully, "Well, I had the pleasure of meeting the princess at the flower viewing banquet."
Su Qingying's willow eyebrows rose slightly, a flower viewing banquet
Before Su Qing could ponder further, a young maid dressed as a maidservant ran towards them out of breath and exclaimed, "Miss, I thought I'd lost you! I was so scared."
"Xia Qing, let's go, Senior Brother must be waiting anxiously. Fifth Princess, we shall meet again." Situ Wan'er smiled faintly and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment, I don't even know who you are yet. Thank you for helping me just now." Su Qingying could tell that Situ Wan'er didn't have any ill intentions towards her, so she let go of her guard. Situ Wan'er's gentle temperament gave Su Qingying a good impression.
"Fifth Princess, please be careful of Lan Xinyao. She is not as simple as she appears on the surface." Si Tu Wan'er did not answer directly, but her words carried a profound meaning.
Recalling Lan Xin Yao's extraordinary martial arts skills, Su Qing Ying's face tightened. Though possessing such exceptional abilities, she deliberately concealed them, and for so many years, not a single person had discovered it. This showed just how deep Lan Xin Yao's cunning was. Such individuals were adept at forbearance, even more frightening than ordinary people.
"Well, I know. I didn't expect her martial arts to be this high. If I hadn't discovered it by chance today, I'm afraid I would have been deceived by her appearance just like everyone else. By the way, will I be able to see you again in the future"
Si Tu Wan'er smiled, "Fate will bring us together naturally. Fifth Princess, farewell."
As they disappeared completely from sight, Su Qingying went straight to the Heavenly Realm. After all that had happened, she no longer felt like drinking.
In the Jinyang Palace, Jun Li stood tall and slender under the moonlight. She resembled a precious orchid and jade tree, standing by the window bathed in light, like an immortal descending to earth.
He glared at the clouds drifting on the horizon, and said, "Mo Xuan, how is the West Ming political situation lately"
Hearing this, Mo Xuan knelt on the ground, facing away from him and replied, "Reporting to my master, Ximing Country seems fine on the surface, but secretly, the right prime minister Lan Bo has already colluded with his party members. Xuan Yuan Luo Chen saw it with his own eyes, but didn't make any moves, seemingly intending to let him continue."
As Huang Yan Luocheng's old adversary, Jun Liye wouldn't fail to understand his implication. Even he could see that Lan Bo was ambitious, and the fact that he was still allowing him to frolic about obviously meant he had a backup plan.
"Hmph, he's trying to play the long game, fishing for a big catch. It's just too bad that Lao Blue has been blinded by power and hasn't noticed."
"Master, what should we do" He was Jun Li Ye's dark guard planted in Ximing to secretly monitor them. Jun Li Ye didn't care what happened at the Ximing Imperial Palace, nor did it concern him.
With a slight narrowing of his blood-red eyes, Jun Liye's blade-like thin lips curled into a cold and chilling smile. "Let's just watch and wait. Ximing will have a good show soon enough."
"Yes, master, this subordinate will take his leave."
"Wait, cough, take this bowl of red sugar water to the Fifth Princess Dong Yue." Jun Liye stopped Mo Xuan, glancing at the already prepared red sugar water. She gave a somewhat awkward order.
"...Yes, Master," Mo Xuan paused, his expression rather strange.
Because he was facing away from Jun Liye, he couldn't see the unnatural flush on her face. After reacting, he held the bowl of steaming ginger tea with a very complicated expression and went out.
Back in the palace alone, Su Qingying furrowed her brow, pondering what Fengjie had said. She was very curious, who was it that kept inquiring about her news between heaven and earth
"Fifth Princess!" Xuan Yuan Mo's voice came from ahead. Su Qingying twitched the corner of her mouth, lowered her head pretending not to see him, and turned back.
Xuan Yuan Mo's brow was beaded with a single, enormous drop of sweat. With a burst of light skill, he landed gracefully before her. "Fifth Princess, this King is no demon or monster. Why do you always avoid me"
Coming to a sudden halt, Su Qingying saw that there was no escape, so she stopped trying and coldly scoffed, "You know I don't want to see you, yet you keep barging in"
"......I don't know why she has such an opinion of me. After being choked, Xuan Yuan Mo stammered and spoke: "Fifth Princess, I advise you not to get too close to Jun Li Ye. I believe Su Zi Yi has also warned you."
"What do you mean Do I need your permission to make friends with whoever I want You don't want me to be around Jun Liye, do you Are you secretly in love with her" Every time someone told her to stay away from Jun Liye, she felt a surge of anger that she couldn’t explain.
"You're overthinking things!" Su Qingying was taken aback by his inexplicable anger. She touched her nose and gritted her teeth, "What on earth is going through your mind"
Too lazy to waste time with him, she tossed that line and left without looking back, "Since it's not true, you have no right to interfere in my life. It's none of your business who I get close to!"
Xuan Yuan Mo watched her retreating figure, his black eyes like ink dots, revealing a hint of inquiry. An emotion flashed in his eyes, fleeting so quickly that it was impossible to fathom its nature.
He gently shook his inkstone fan and turned to walk toward the imperial study.
"Creak!"
"Brother," In the study, Xuen Yuan Luocheng was holding a brush and reviewing memorials. The guards outside had already been dismissed by him, and Xuen Yuan Mo walked leisurely to the seat beside him.
"Here, how did the investigation go" Xuen Yuan Luo Chen didn't raise his head, his tone though light, carried a hint of warmth. Towards this younger brother, he was most close to.
After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, he changed from his previous unserious tone and said, “This old man, Lan Bo, has been secretly colluding with his cronies, infiltrating his people into the palace. I believe it won't be long before he reveals his true colors. Hmph, so brazenly rebelling, does he truly think I am blind!”
"He's old, and his ambition has grown!" Xuen Yuan Luo Chen sneered. "I've always wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him. I didn't expect that he would give me a reason himself. This time, I want to see how many people are harboring ill intentions!"
"Speaking of which, Your Highness, about Little Seven..." Xuen Yuan Mo felt a headache coming on as he thought of Xuen Yuan Che's unwavering devotion to Lan Xin Yao. They all could see that Lan Bo had been growing ambitious these past few years, but their brother was completely oblivious, fixated only on Lan Xin Yao.
"These past few days, you've kept a close eye on him for me. I certainly don't want any more complications to arise at this time!" Speaking of Xuan Yuan Che, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen also felt a wave of helplessness.
Xuan Yuan Che loved literature and ink from a young age, longing for the colorful world outside. He had no interest in the aristocracy, so they genuinely cared for him, truly not knowing how to treat him well.
"Big brother, my younger brother understands." Xuan Yuan Mo naturally understood Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's intention. He was just worried that he would be used by Lan Bo.
Meanwhile, at the Right Minister's mansion.
"Father, are you looking for me" Lan Xin Yao walked in gracefully from outside, her pale pink chest-length Rui Jin Luo skirt making her skin look even whiter than jade. crowd. She then spoke to her senior brother, "Hey, Senior Brother, aren't those Bei Ling's Regent King and Dong Yue's Fifth Princess How come they're together Should we go say hello""Fine, we won't g...
