However, at this time, Ji Jingxu had just received the news that the secret guard failed to assassinate Pei Ji and was arrested instead. He was in a panic and had no energy to pay attention to her.

"Ji Jingxu no longer has his own secret guards, and he doesn't dare to use the secret guards of the Duke's Mansion. He is now extremely anxious!"

In the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Xiaowu reported the news brought back by Zhichang and the others with gloating attitude.

"Liu Furong has already sent him messages three times in the past two hours, but he ignored her. Liu Furong was furious and anxious, and she almost went to the Duke's Mansion to find the Second Master..."

Su Li smiled and said, "Tell Zhitang to keep an eye on Ji Jingxu."

Now that Ji Jingxu had lost his secret guards, she was not afraid that he would try to assassinate Pei Ji again. She was just afraid that he would become desperate and try to cut off the source of his support, which would directly harm the Duke and the Old Madam.

After all, he had poisoned the Duke.

"Yes, I will send a message to Brother Zhitang right away."

As soon as Xiaowu left, Aunt Xiao came in with an anxious look on her face.

"Madam, someone is coming from the palace."

"In the palace? Who?"

"The other party claimed to be a maidservant beside Concubine Xiao."

"Noble Concubine Xiao?"

Su Li frowned. Why did Concubine Xiao send someone here for no reason?

Could it be related to Princess Rongfu?

"Please invite them into the main hall..."

The main hall.

As soon as Su Li came in, the palace maid came forward and bowed, saying in a cold tone: "Madam Pei, the Imperial Concubine has summoned you to the palace. Please pack up and follow Qingmei into the palace."

Su Li smiled and said, "So it's Miss Qingmei. May I ask, Miss, why did the Imperial Concubine summon me to the palace?"
