Chapter 24: Protecting the Master



The night in Cuiyun Palace seemed long.

Inside the same palace, everyone has their own thoughts.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting almost collapsed on the table, holding several banknotes tightly in his hands. He stared at the banknotes with a heavy heart.

Who is this man?

I was really surprised to find that I carried such a large amount of banknotes with me.

Although he asked for fifty taels per day, it was just a test. According to his intuition, this strange man would not stay for more than five days. So, he could afford the money, but...

Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned. When he sucked out the poison, the price of three hundred taels was indeed a bit of a gimmick. However, this was also a test for him. He threw out three hundred taels at once. Adding the shelter fee for today and tomorrow, it would be four hundred taels in one night. He was definitely not an ordinary person, and even more so not a villain.

If he entered the palace for money, he would not be so reluctant to part with it. If not, then there is only one possibility for him to be so generous and not even blink an eye at money.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting narrowed his eyes, and had a vague guess in his heart.

The royal family holds all the power!

If this is true, why would he visit the palace at night?

When he was puzzled, Zong Zheng Xiaoting shook his head and decided not to get entangled in it. If there was something wrong with the royal relatives, he would not risk his life for it. It should not be a war, and it would not have any impact on his aunt. So, who cares!

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's mood improved immediately. Now that one problem had been solved, he no longer had too many things in his mind. The incident tonight had delayed the guards, and he was afraid that someone would come to cause trouble soon. To get rid of Concubine Lixian, her family power would inevitably be involved. It was too early to touch her at this moment, but it was still easy to remove her wings.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised the corners of his mouth with pleasure. As for Concubine Lixian, he couldn't do it openly, but there were naturally many ways to deal with her. He would start from the emperor's psychology and defeat them one by one.

She, Concubine Lixian, relied on her family's influence to a certain extent, but as an official, she was bound to have flaws. It was not difficult to find a mistake that the emperor could not tolerate, as the tree was full of tangled roots and branches.

The difficulty lies in how to have two concubines without being implicated in the affair.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting let out a long breath from his nose and looked at the bright moon in the night sky thoughtfully. This palace was really tiring, even more tiring than the shopping mall.

The man in the east hall just took off his mask at this moment. His chiseled facial features and natural noble aura were revealed without the mask's cover.

The unique aura of a dominant being emanated from him as he raised his sword-like eyebrows.

He was standing with his hands behind his back, staring at the discarded silk. The bloodstains were shocking to the eye. His money-obsessed face and the look of disgust as he threw away the silk emerged in his mind.

The maid of the second princess of Luozha Kingdom is quite interesting.

The original intention was to explore the palace of Luozha Kingdom at night in order to understand the temperaments of these princesses. But they were discovered inexplicably, so there is only one explanation!

The man narrowed his eyes dangerously, traitor!

Taking the risk really paid off.

The man's smile was filled with sneer and ridicule, his eyes were calm, but without a trace of warmth. His whole body was like a thousand-year-old ice cellar, so cold that one could not help but shiver.

The moonlight was like water. Outside Cuiyun Palace, Qingqing did not move an inch. She stood calmly at the door.

Chief guard Yuan Xian looked at Qingqing, who was standing very straight. She looked as if he would rush in at any time, like a hen protecting her chicks.

Thinking of the hen protecting her chicks, Yuan Xian's serious face was suddenly filled with smiles.

Qingqing, who was being stared at and laughing, frowned.

With one hand on his waist, he pointed at the head of the guard and said, "You! What are you laughing at!"

"I have been blocked outside Cuiyun Palace by Miss Qingqing. Cuiyun Palace is the only one that has not been searched in the entire palace. And now, I can only stare at the Miss here, exposed to the cold wind. Could it be that the Miss wants to interfere with my own amusement?" Yuan Xian looked at Qingqing, who looked like a hen with her feathers standing on end, with a smile on his face. He felt that the image of Qingqing, who looked like a hen with her feathers standing on end, was very vivid and adorable.

He stared at Qingqing, but his smile became deeper, which made Qingqing's little face puff up with anger.

A few freckles didn't make her look flawless, but made her look more cute and adorable.

"You are smiling at me, and you keep smiling. How come it has nothing to do with me? This is not called interference, okay? The Second Princess said that we should be wary of some things that are meant to smear others. What is the difference between you looking at me and laughing like this and making insinuations?"

Yuan Xian crossed his arms over his chest, smiling, "Miss Qingqing, you are wrong. I just remembered something funny, it has nothing to do with you."

"Then go and look at others and laugh!" Qingqing was so angry that she felt ashamed. What she said seemed like she was being too sentimental. It was obvious that he was just looking at her and laughing, yet she was still making excuses like that.

"Right now, I am staring at Miss Qingqing. If I were to do the same to the air, wouldn't I be the same as a fool?"

"You!" Qingqing kept trying to calm herself down. This captain of the guards was obviously seeking revenge for a personal vendetta. It must be because of what she had just said, which left him speechless and unable to refute.

When it comes to official matters, Qingqing can be righteous and unyielding, but she is not good at other matters, so at this moment, she can only swallow it.

Qingqing turned her face away angrily and said nothing more.

At this moment, Fu Jieyu came to Cuiyun Palace in a hurry.

"Concubine Fu is here." In the silent night, the eunuch's shrill voice broke the tranquility.

"I have met Fu Jieyu."

"This servant pays respect to Concubine Fu."

On the sedan chair, Fu Jieyu, who had a rosy face and was extremely charming, walked down from the sedan chair with a smile, supported by the palace maids. Her eyes swept over Yuan Xian.

"Everyone, get up." Fu Jieyu looked at everyone and said.

"Thank you, Madam."

However, just after she stood up, Fu Jieyu went straight to the gate of Cuiyun Palace.

Qingqing was extremely fast, like a gust of wind, and flashed to the front of the palace gate, with her hands open, blocking Fu Jieyu's steps forward.

"How dare you!" Fu Jieyu was annoyed and scolded Qingqing: "You are just a little servant, who gave you the courage to be so rude to me."

However, Qingqing changed her attitude in front of Yuan Xian just now, and calmly bowed to Fu Jieyu: "I dare not."

"If you don't dare, then get out of the way, Your Majesty." Fu Jieyu's maid Ye Hong glared at Qingqing, and at Fu Jieyu's signal, she looked arrogant.

"Move aside, I dare not do that." Qingqing stood in front of Ye Hong again and held back the hand that was about to push the door.

"You are rebelling! I want to see who gave you the courage to do this."

"I am doing this for the good of Your Majesty. If the Emperor blames you, I'm afraid even Your Majesty won't be able to bear it." Qingqing had a smile on her face the whole time, but the words she said to Fu Jieyu with a smile sounded sarcastic no matter how you listened to them.

In anger and humiliation, Fu Jieyu raised her hand to deliver a slap, but was stopped in an instant.
