Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but feel worried.

She knew very few people in the Kingdom of the Dark Moon. If Zhao Yinfang was also on the same side as Maimaiti, she would really be helpless.

She was hesitating whether to go to the door when she unexpectedly heard Zhao Yinfang's voice at the door.

"Miss Xu, it's been a long time." Zhao Yinfang cupped his hands in greeting.

He and Xu Yuehuai had only met once, but they both had a deep impression of each other.

Seeing that Zhao Yinfang had discovered her, Xu Yuehuai could no longer hide and could only bite the bullet and step forward: "Lord Zhao, it's been a long time."

She hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Looking at her expression, Zhao Yinfang roughly understood what was going on and quickly ushered her into the mansion: "Miss Xu, let's talk inside."

The two immediately went to the main hall.

"I heard the Regent has run into trouble? Miss Xu, you're from Chang'an, is this true?" Zhao Yinfang, who was walking ahead, spoke first.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehua hesitated for a moment, looking at the back of the person in front of her, unsure of how to respond.

She originally chose to come to Zhao Yinfang because she trusted him, but now that she saw Zhang Ting leaving his residence, she felt uneasy.

She pondered for a moment and then asked, "Lord Zhao, when we entered the city, General Maimaiti said that Zhang Ting was a wanted criminal of the Mingyue Kingdom and took her away. But just now I seemed to see her leaving your residence. What's going on?"

"A wanted criminal?" Zhao Yinfang's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Miss Xu, don't listen to their nonsense. What 'prisoner of the state' is just a trap. General Maimaiti and Zhang Ting are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. How could they possibly arrest someone directly?"

He paused for a moment and then continued, "Besides, if the Mingyue Kingdom is divided into two factions, and both General Maimaiti and Zhang Ting's maternal grandfather want to go to war with the Central Plains, he will be even less likely to harm Zhang Ting."

Xu Yuehuai got the gist of it.

She immediately stared into Zhao Yinfang's eyes and asked, "And what about Lord Zhao?"

"After all, I have the blood of the Central Plains in my veins, so how could I be willing to go to war with the Central Plains? It's just a pity that in the end, the decision is never made by us." He said, shaking his head.

After hearing this, Xu Yuehuai pondered it carefully once more.

After a long pause, he spoke up: "The prince faked his death and has now come to the Kingdom of Dark Moon with me, but he cannot show his face. Lord Zhao, we wish to cooperate with you."

Now that things have come to this, she has no choice but to take a gamble.

Fortunately, Zhao Yinfang laughed from the bottom of his heart after hearing this.

“I need to understand the current strength of the Dark Moon Kingdom. In addition, I need to find out about Princess Chu Chu,” she continued.

However, Zhao Yinfang's face turned ashen: "Gaining power is easy, but this Princess Chuchu..."

He quickly said, "Princess Chuchu was originally engaged to the Xiongnu, but she ran away because she was unwilling. When she returned, she was heavily pregnant. Since then, she has become a taboo in the Mingyue Kingdom. It will be difficult to find out the truth."

“I trust Lord Zhao,” Xu Yuehuai said. “As for why you need to inquire about these things, you will naturally find out once you find out.”

“Okay.” Zhao Yinfang nodded firmly.

It wasn't that he trusted Xu Yuehuai, but rather that he trusted Qi Guze, and naturally, he would also trust the person he had his eye on.

Xu Yuehuai was still thinking about the little princess, so she didn't stay any longer and immediately returned to the inn.

...

But the little princess was not at peace.

Although Tie Xiong had also looked after the children, Jiang Shichen and Jiang Qianqian were both well-behaved and could stay quiet for a long time with just a book, but the little princess was different.

She was thirsty one minute, hungry the next, and even tore up the book that Tiexiong had prepared for her.

"You brat! I..." Tie Xiong was furious and raised his arm high again.

"Come on, big guy, come and hit me!" The little princess continued to push her luck, even bringing her face close to Tie Xiong's.

Seeing this, Tie Xiong completely lost his temper. This child was the princess of the Mingyue Kingdom. They were on their territory, and if they beat their princess, they would really be in deep trouble. Although this child was indeed very annoying.

He had no choice but to slam his hand heavily on the table.

The loud noise reached Qi Guze's ears next door, and he immediately came over to check the situation.

"Tie Xiong, what's wrong?" Qi Guze asked as he entered.

Tie Xiong was blowing on his hand when he slammed his hand on the table, which had made it hurt.

The little princess giggled, seemingly enjoying seeing Tie Xiong get his comeuppance.

"Wang...it's all because of her, isn't it? Manager Xu asked me to take care of her, but who knew this little one would be so mischievous." Tie Xiong explained to Qi Guze with a wry smile after hearing the laughter.

Qi Guze naturally recognized her, and upon hearing this, he shook his head helplessly. He didn't have any good solutions for children, so he closed the door and prepared to leave.

"etc."

But just as he turned around, he heard the little princess's voice behind him.

"What's wrong?" Qi Guze turned around upon hearing this, only to have a pair of hands instantly reach up and rip off the fake beard on his chin.

"I knew you looked familiar. Why are you wearing a fake beard?" The little princess recognized Qi Guze immediately after pulling off his beard and pointed at him, laughing.

Qi Guze didn't think much of it, but Tie Xiong was getting a little anxious. Although Manager Xu knew her, she hadn't said whether this person was friend or foe. Although a young girl couldn't cause any trouble, one should always be cautious and not be malicious.

If she recognizes Qi Guze and informs Maimaiti, they will be in danger.

"Show me your beard!" Tie Xiong said in a deep voice as he stepped forward after thinking for a moment.

"No!" The little princess stuffed the beard into her bosom.

"You!" Tie Xiong made a move to hit him again.

"Tie Xiong," Qi Guze called out to him, shaking his head slightly.

"I remember now!" The little princess suddenly remembered something and quickly stuffed the beard from her bosom into Qi Guze's hand, apologizing repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I remember now, Maimaiti said he was going to kill you!"

"What exactly happened?" Qi Guze and Tie Xiong exchanged a glance, and Tie Xiong immediately went out to keep watch.

The little princess continued, "That day, I heard Maimaiti say he was going to kill the people who came with Sister Xu last time. Wasn't he talking about you? It's all my fault. You'll definitely be recognized if you keep doing this. I don't want you to die."

She even shed a few tears at the end, showing how much she felt guilty.

"Don't be afraid," Qi Guze said, wiping away her tears. "I have many more of this beard, no one will recognize me."
