He considered himself a martial arts master, and his internal strength was far superior to Qu Li's.

But Qu Li is able to appear and disappear mysteriously.

Just now in the palace, he had no idea when she appeared behind him.

Now, he had been guarding outside the room of the inn and hadn't noticed anything unusual. Qu Li unexpectedly appeared in front of him again as if no one was around.

This is so weird!

Qu Li nodded and smiled at him.

"Taji, you stay outside first." Rongwei said in a low voice.

"King Zhongshan, now the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince are looking for you. Who do you think it is?" Qu Li asked directly.

"It seems that both the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince have come to see me, and the Fourth Prince has said more. However, I am more suspicious of the Second Prince."

Qu Li was using the lid of the teacup to remove the foam on the surface. Upon hearing this, she raised her eyes and looked into his eyes deeply.

"Girl, what are you looking at?"

"As expected, the older you are, the wiser you are!" Qu Li said this sincerely, without any flattery. "Lanting is the Second Prince's person."

Rongwei frowned, his face full of frost.

"The Second Prince is truly treacherous!"

"At that time, I was locked up in a dark room by the Empress Dowager because of the divorce. Lan Ting came to me and conveyed a few words to the Second Prince!"

"I will kill him right now!"

"King Zhongshan, calm down first."

Rongwei took a few deep breaths, but still felt a tightness in his chest.

"There's no evidence right now! Besides, since Lan Ting is imprisoned in Jingzhao Prefecture's prison, I guess Xiao Ci has given up on her."

"Then I will beat him into submission and see if he will tell the truth."

Qu Li: “…”

She just thought she could easily appease Kangdi's anger. The old man who could see through who was the mastermind behind all this at a glance was very wise and experienced. Who would have thought that he would be so impulsive.

"There's no evidence yet. The Second Prince can simply say that Lan Ting admired him but was rejected by him, and because of that, she harbored hatred for him, which is why she orchestrated all this. It might seem like she's plotting to frame Princess Ye Hua, but in reality, she's trying to destroy him as the prince.

A maid in the Cining Palace, a biological son of the Emperor, whose mother's family is the Zhenbei General, even if the Emperor believes in Lan Ting, he will definitely not ignore the Zhenbei General's Mansion for the sake of face!"

Rong Wei looked at Qu Li with an increasingly profound gaze.

This girl not only has a very smart mind, but is also very good at understanding people's hearts.

Now he, the King of Zhongshan who guards the vassal states, has been dragged into this. If the General Zhenbei's Mansion is also involved, the situation will be turbulent and it will be easy for Xiling and Southern Qi to take advantage of the chaos.

"Are we going to let Ye Hua suffer in vain?"

It’s not that Rongwei has no solution. He asked this question on purpose to see what Qu Li thinks.

Qu Li curled her lips, motioning him to come closer.

Rongwei frowned from time to time, with a wicked smile on his lips.

"Girl, I never thought you were so cruel and ruthless!"

Qu Li disagreed, "Is this cruel and ruthless? Then the person who plotted for me to appear in the side hall where Xiao Xian changed his clothes was even more evil-hearted."

Rongwei thought Qu Li was very interesting, and the desire to give her a big gift in return became stronger and stronger. He wished he could return the gift to her right now.

Unfortunately, there is still an impostor. If I give him such a big gift at this time, won’t that impostor become more rampant and rampant?

Qu Li's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly met his blazing eyes.

She inexplicably had a feeling that this old fox was going crazy.

Her brows furrowed even tighter, and her eyes became sharper.

Rongwei is indeed an old hunter. Seeing this, he realized that he had just let himself go too far.

He coughed lightly and explained with a smile: "Leave this matter to me, no, let Taji do it!"

Taji is in a bad mood. If he is asked to do it, he will definitely make Xiao Ci lose all his temper!

The two of them whispered about the affairs in the north, and then Qu Li left.

…

As soon as she returned to the Shadow Pavilion, she saw the deputy pavilion master and Qian Jiuzhao with their heads lowered, whispering something.

Seeing her, the deputy leader suppressed his smile and bowed to her.

Although Qian Jiuzhao did not admit defeat on his own initiative, he felt a little more admiration and curiosity for her in his heart.

He followed her secretly today, but he had no choice. It seemed like she really had some magical power and could disappear in the blink of an eye.

This made him curious and worried.

What I’m curious about is whether she knows any magic.

What worries me is that she might be some fox fairy who specializes in sucking men's yang energy.

Qu Li didn't even look at Qian Jiuzhao, and asked the deputy leader: "What are you talking about?"

"The Shadow Pavilion just received news that Princess Ye Hua bribed the maids in the Cining Palace to poison the Empress Dowager."

“This matter!”

There was no surprise on her face, as if she had known it all along.

The deputy pavilion master's eyes were full of judgment. "You knew this all along?"

"It's well-known, it's no longer a secret! Honestly, I used to think you guys at the Shadow Pavilion were pretty impressive, but lately, I feel like the people responsible for gathering intelligence seem to be a bit passive and slacking off! Is it because the monthly salary they're paying isn't satisfying?"

The deputy leader was squeezed and felt a little embarrassed.

Qian Jiuzhao curled his lips, "You probably don't know that the people who collect intelligence are not paid monthly wages, but are paid silver according to the importance of the intelligence."

"In other words, everyone can sell information to your Shadow Pavilion?" Qu Li tilted his head and raised his eyebrows and asked Qian Jiuzhao.

"That's right. This was proposed by the Fifth Prince."

Every time Feng Yi was mentioned, Qian Jiuzhao, the awkward and arrogant guy, always beamed with joy. Qu Li had often wondered if he had some feelings for Feng Yi.

"Then can I also sell information?" Qu Li looked at the deputy leader with bright eyes.

"In theory, it is possible!" The deputy leader gave a very affirmative answer.

"As for the prince, how much do you usually give?"

Qian Jiuzhao subconsciously felt that she wanted to take the opportunity to extort money again.

She has already earned so much money, and it is a lot of money for the court. She doesn't run around for food, and she even has the leisure time to care about the news of the prince. He doesn't know what to say.

Qu Li naturally caught the disdain in Qian Jiuzhao's eyes, but she never took it seriously.

As long as she could earn money, she would be happy even if she earned only one or two taels more than him.

"It depends on the situation, one thousand taels, five hundred taels, it's hard to say!"

Qu Li nodded in understanding, "Then how much silver is the prince's falling into the stinking ditch worth?"

"Which prince fell into the stinking ditch?"

Qian Jiuzhao is good at making money and also loves gossip.

Hearing this, the first thing that came to his mind was that Qu Li was so desperate for money that he deliberately made the prince fall into the stinking ditch in order to sell information!

The deputy leader glanced over and he immediately became silent, with a pout and a look of resentment.
