Youlan and the others helped Bai Shu and the others take off their outer clothes.
The charcoal fire in the hall was burning brightly, and as soon as he entered the room, he heard the sad news that the eldest princess had disappeared.
For a moment, it was hard to tell whether the sweat on the forehead was cold or hot.
Ji Zhe took off his cloak casually, his movements were not without haste and roughness.
Ye Bo behind him hurriedly took the coat. He also wanted to wipe the sweat off the young master, but was rejected.
Ji Zhe reacted belatedly. His back was soaked with sweat, and the feeling of a hollowness in his heart was still vivid in his mind.
"Can you tell me in detail now? Was it that dog emperor who did it?"
Ji Zhe's expression became less fierce, but his eyes were still gloomy and terrifying. When he thought of the woman in the palace, he could no longer suppress the dark side of his heart.
The maids and guards in the room dared not breathe when they heard him call the dog emperor with gnashing teeth.
This is the territory of the Northern Desert, and isn’t Ji Zhe the son of the dog emperor he mentioned?
Who dares to come forward to serve?
"It's the Imperial Master's people."
Xiao Moqing, Bai Shu and Ji Zhe sat around the table, with their subordinates standing behind them.
They already knew each other tacitly that the other's identity and power should not be underestimated, but they were by no means enemies.
Especially at this moment, they stood together in tacit understanding.
"The Imperial Master? The one who lives in the Divination Tower all year round and hardly ever leaves the house?"
"Why would he have a grudge against you?"
Ji Zhe was surprised. This answer was obviously different from what he had in mind.
The Imperial Master held a very high status in the Northern Desert, because the old and incompetent emperor was extremely feudal and superstitious.
Therefore, a huge amount of money was spent to build an astrological platform in the palace, where people could observe the sky during the day and the stars at night. The floor was so high that one could even overlook the entire palace.
Although the Imperial Master had no real power, every word he said was taken very seriously by the Emperor.
In order to maintain his ability to divine the stars, he lived in the Divination Tower all year round and would only meet with the emperor when there were major anomalies in the celestial phenomena.
Apart from this, don't care about anything else.
"The assassin left a message saying Shule was only visiting the palace as a guest, and they would receive her with the highest etiquette of the Northern Desert."
"Similarly, only I can get her out."
Xiao Moqing said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed as he pondered the other party's intentions.
He did not remember any deep hatred between him and him, at most it was national hatred or family feud.
The strength of this Northern Desert State Master was indeed beyond his expectations. Just now, his subordinates said that the opponent's moves were ruthless.
Moreover, most of them carried a dead murderous intent, as if they had no independent consciousness and just killed for the sake of killing.
There were only a few leaders who looked like normal people. They left after leaving a message.
"Does his hatred for you have to start before you were born?"
After hearing this, Bai Shu's eyelids trembled slightly, and she suddenly realized that apart from the relationship between Bei Mo and Dong Ye,
The poison that Xiao Moqing's mother was poisoned with was the Silver Soul Powder of the Beimo Royal Family.
I'm afraid they really came for Xiao Moqing, and this grudge has even lasted for twenty-one years.
"Um."
Xiao Moqing naturally understood Bai Shu's meaning. His slender fingers stroked the Buddhist beads.
I thought to myself that it was time to put an end to what happened in the past. Since he came to me on his own initiative, there was no reason not to entertain him.
“???”
"Why am I getting more confused?"
Ji Zhe was completely confused by what the two said. He had never met the Imperial Master before.
With his previous position in the palace, he was not qualified to meet important figures.
Later he escaped from the palace, established his own power outside, and never returned to that dark and dirty place.
But what is the grudge between the National Master and Xiao Moqing? Should it even start from before he was born?
"Have you heard of Gintama Powder?"
Bai Shu's expression was serious and her eyes were firm, which made Ji Zhe tremble all over.
Why didn’t I realize before that Bai Shu’s aura is so powerful when she’s serious?
"I've actually heard that Gintama Powder is a secret medicine of the royal family, mainly developed by people sent by the Imperial Master."
Ji Zhe thought for a moment and then remembered this thing, but this secret medicine has always existed in legends.
No one has ever seen Gintama Powder, because this drug not only makes people's lives worse than death, but also has no antidote.
Therefore, the emperor would hardly use such dangerous and unsuitable medicine.
"Sure enough, what happened back then is closely related to this Imperial Master."
Bai Shu's pupils shrank slightly, and she looked at Xiao Moqing worriedly, afraid that he would think of his mother again at this moment.
However, Xiao Moqing's expression was extremely calm, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Until he noticed Bai Shu's gaze, he smiled gently at her to reassure her.
"Does the Imperial Master have any strange secret guards? For example, someone who's like a puppet who only knows how to kill people?"
Xiao Moqing asked in a deep voice, this national teacher must be doing something shameful.
Otherwise, with the ten secret guards he brought, it would be impossible for him to save the princess, not to mention that there were Ji Zhe's men guarding the inn.
The other party can take people away right under their noses.
"When you mention this, I remember something, but it's just a rumor."
"Some say the Imperial Master uses secret techniques to train people, and he has a group of assassins dedicated to the Emperor."
Ji Zhe's spies were all over the Northern Desert, especially the affairs in the palace, no matter how big or small, he would personally review them.
He took every rumor to heart.
So that he can successfully take revenge one day.
"Secret technique? Secret medicine? It seems that this imperial teacher is not an ordinary person. We must rescue my sister as soon as possible."
Bai Shu felt that this imperial teacher was not a good person. Due to the stalemate between the two countries, they would not harm the princess.
But she was worried that the eldest princess would be scared and lonely in a foreign country.
However, the words "rescue my sister" seemed to have triggered someone's mechanism.
"That's right, the most urgent thing is to rescue my sister. I've already made all the arrangements. With just one order from me, that damn emperor will be dead!"
Ji Zhe immediately seconded the proposal, and he looked like he was ready to roll up his sleeves and do something big, which made everyone stunned.
Ye Bo, who was standing behind him, widened his eyes after hearing this. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know where to start. He could only look at Bai Shu for help.
“…”
"Killing your Beimo Emperor will only cause more internal chaos. How can you be sure that your good brothers won't hold her hostage and threaten us Dongye?"
Bai Shu held her forehead with her hand. Shouldn't Ji Zhe calm down?
Why do you keep talking about killing the dog emperor? Is now the right time?
Everyone knows that there are many princes in Beimo and that there are serious internal conflicts. Apart from him, the seventh prince, who among the remaining twenty or so princes would not be eyeing the throne?
When the Northern Desert changes its master and the new emperor ascends the throne, the first thing he might do is to use the princess to threaten Dong Ye.
Then things get more complicated.
What needs to be resolved now is the grudge between the National Master and Xiao Moqing. The eldest princess is at least a safe outsider.
