“People who grow up in an environment of overwhelming power and interests, and who personally experience the changes in power and the ups and downs of interests, rarely maintain their original intentions. It’s normal for her to change,” Ji Fengyao replied calmly.

"That thirteenth prince is so pitiful. With a mother like Consort Yin, he will eventually become a pawn in Consort Yin's power struggles," Bai Lu said with great regret. "The thirteenth prince is so clever and cute. It would be such a pity if he became a puppet emperor in the future."

"Don't worry, Xiao Shisan is a lucky child. His future is very bright," Ji Fengyao said meaningfully.

Seeing that Ji Fengyao was in a good mood, Bai Lu's face showed the happiest smile she had seen in days.

A thought struck her, and she silently stopped talking.

As soon as the master and servant arrived at the gate of Songmei Garden, they saw a large group of palace servants standing outside the garden.

“Those people seem to be that fake emperor,” Bai Lu couldn’t help but click her tongue twice and sighed softly, “Your Highness, you guessed right. Since we came to the capital, we’ve never been able to have a peaceful day. These people really don’t let us have a moment’s rest.”

Ji Fengyao smiled but didn't say anything.

Her master had told her that morning about his soul communicating with the prince, and also told her about the progress in Chengdu.

So she wasn't annoyed at all; she was actually hoping these people would cause trouble and get themselves killed.

The young female bandit and Bai Lu swaggered into Songmei Garden with their nonchalant, bandit-like gait.

The two ignored the people outside the garden as if they didn't see them, and walked straight through them back to Songmei Garden.

The Imperial Guards and Palace Attendants: "..."

Bandits are indeed bandits; not only are they ignorant, but they are also incredibly audacious.

Except for Xiao Shunzi, who was standing at the entrance of the inner courtyard holding a whisk.

The moment Xiao Shunzi saw Ji Fengyao and her servant swaying with every step, he thought that the Emperor was probably here to offer himself up for execution again.

He felt bitter inside, but because of his lowly status, he dared not utter a sound.

When Ji Fengyao passed by Xiao Shunzi, she glanced at him with some curiosity, but did not lower herself to pay him any attention.

Seeing this, Bai Lu understood immediately and asked with a smile, "Hey, why are you standing outside the door? Don't you have to serve the Emperor?"

Mentioning this, Xiao Shunzi felt even more bitter: "This servant greets Princess Chonghe; Miss, His Majesty does not like too many people serving him, fearing that the room will become smelly if there are too many people. Therefore, His Majesty only left Xiao Mengzi with him and specially instructed this servant to wait outside for the Princess and Miss. Please come in, Princess. His Majesty has been waiting for you inside for quite a while."

The "Little Mencius" inside the house: "..."

The frustration in my heart almost made me burst out of my skin.

That damned eunuch! I told him to call him Lord Meng, Lord Meng, but behind his back, this guy still calls him Little Meng!

That's a term for a eunuch!

How could he, one of the Ten Great Demon Generals, be equated with a eunuch?!

He'll definitely snap this guy's neck later and make sure he never has to speak again!

"There's a strong demonic aura in the room," Mo Linxian whispered to the little bandit in his mind.

"I understand, Master. They are probably just here to negotiate and won't harm me. But don't worry, Master, I will still handle things carefully." Ji Fengyao had actually sensed Meng Qi's anger.

"Yes, we must not let our guard down for a moment when dealing with demons," Mo Linxian reminded him again.

Fearing that the demonic cultivators in the house would detect his presence, he stopped speaking.
