Imperial Capital 41. The Romantic Prince

After seeing Ye Ying off, Ye Li, who seemed to have done what she needed to do, no longer paid attention to the complicated and unpredictable looks from the crowd, and returned to Qing Yi Xuan in a good mood, waving her sleeves.

As soon as he stepped into the study, Ye Li paused for a moment before turning back and saying, "Qingluan stays and waits, everyone else go down and rest." Qingshuang and the others were a little puzzled, but they also knew that Ye Li didn't like to be in the presence of many people, so they just bowed and left, thinking that he had something to tell Qingluan alone. Qingluan stood quietly by the door waiting for the young lady's instructions. Ye Li walked to the window and stood still, looking around the study and finally landing on the curtain separating the inside and outside of the study, and asked softly, "Aren't you coming out yet?"

There was no movement in the study, but Qingluan now had two short spears gleaming with cold light in her hands, and her usually docile and harmless eyes now had a hint of fierce murderous intent.

After waiting for a while and seeing that there was still no movement, Ye Li frowned in displeasure. He threw something the size of a dove egg in his hand towards the curtain. A thick white smoke rose up, and in a moment a figure in the white smoke flew towards Ye Li, but suddenly fell to the ground when he was about to reach the window. The cold short thorns on his back had already touched his back. But he did not see Ye Li in front of him. He did not know when Ye Li had stood a few feet away from him.

"I never thought that Miss Ye San is so skilled. I give in." The man smiled bitterly, helplessly relaxing his limp body and falling to the ground.

Ye Li's expression was normal. "I am still far behind you. But after last night's adventure, I think it is necessary to make some preparations."

The man raised his eyebrows, seemingly not paying any attention to the fact that someone was still pressing against his back. He looked at Ye Li with a smile and said, "You know it was me last night? Could it be that... you can't forget what happened last night?" Even Ye Li had to admit that the man in front of her was very handsome. Unlike Feng Zhiyao's romantic and unrestrained appearance, there was a bit of evil and deliberate ambiguity between his eyebrows. If it were an ordinary woman, she would inevitably be angry or embarrassed and cover her face and leave. Unfortunately, Ye Li was not one of them. "I thought you should pay attention to the thing behind you instead of me. Believe me, if you put a little more strength on that spot, your life will not be in danger, but I promise you will spend the rest of your life lying in bed." As if to prove Ye Li's words, the sharp spikes behind him moved forward, and the sharp pain spread from his back to his whole body. The man's face changed slightly, and he smiled reluctantly, "Miss Ye San is not going to kill me to silence me, right?"

Ye Li shook her head, and her beautiful face showed a rare brilliant smile. However, the man on the ground couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. "Killing people and silencing them is not something a lady from a noble family should do. So, I plan to give you away. I heard that many people are looking for you. Tell me, should I give you to Prince Ding or Prince Li?"

The man looked at Ye Li with a bitter face, begging for mercy. If he fell into the hands of Prince Ding, he would definitely lose his arms and legs. If he fell into the hands of Prince Li, just because someone was still standing here to threaten him, Prince Li would definitely want his life. "Miss San, I am also paid to eliminate disasters for others. Besides, I have helped you, right? Can't you be so kind as to spare my life?" Ye Li turned around and found a comfortable chair to sit down, and asked with a smile: "Are you helping me? Isn't it because Mo Jingli offended you that you want to teach him a lesson?"

The man had no choice but to put away the smile on his face after failing to beg for mercy. He said seriously, "How about I owe you a favor, Miss Third?"

Ye Li propped up her chin and smiled lazily, "Well... Even if you dare to owe a favor to Mr. Fengyue of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, I dare not ask you to pay it back." Qingfeng Mingyue Tower is the best brothel in the world. Mr. Fengyue Han Mingyue is a world-famous flower thief. To have anything to do with him is to ruin your reputation.

This time the man's face completely changed. He stared at Ye Li and said, "My jade pendant is in your hand?" There are only a handful of people in the world who know that Master Fengyue and the owner of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower are the same person. "I didn't know that Miss Ye San of the Shangshu Mansion, the future Princess Dingguo, actually has such means." It is not an easy task to take the jade pendant from him quietly. Han Mingyue simply doubted whether she had come to the capital on bad days this time. Originally, it was just a whim to catch a little girl for Prince Li to play with, but she didn't expect that this seemingly harmless beauty from the deep mansion was a poisonous flower. She wanted to play with the arrogant Prince Li, but ended up playing herself. Less than half an hour after leaving the forest that day, she found that she was being followed, and two hours later, the number of people increased from one to two. After daybreak, even Mo Jingli's men joined in.

Ye Li smiled without saying anything, and looked at the handsome man in front of her patiently. Finally, Han Mingyue raised her hands helplessly and admitted defeat, saying: "Miss Ye San, what do you want in exchange for letting me go?"

"If necessary, lend me the intelligence network of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower." Ye Li put forward her conditions.

Han Mingyue's eyes flickered, "I don't understand what Miss Ye means."

"The brothel and the wine shop are the biggest distribution centers for intelligence information. I guess... Tianyi Pavilion has a good relationship with you. Is that right?" Tianyi Pavilion, the most mysterious intelligence organization in Da Chu, makes a living by selling information. However, its secretive actions have made many people who want to find it return empty-handed. "Mr. Han can get up now. If I'm not mistaken, the effect of the medicine has worn off." Ye Li looked at the man who was still lying on the ground helplessly and reminded him lightly. Han Mingyuesi was not embarrassed at all by being exposed. She stood up calmly and brushed off the non-existent dust on her body. She bowed to Ye Li and said, "Third Miss Ye is so sharp that I am amazed." It is really amazing that a woman from a distant family could guess the relationship between Qingfeng Mingyue Tower and Tianyi Pavilion. "The jade pendant will be given to Third Miss. If Third Miss needs anything, just ask someone to bring the jade pendant to me. I believe that with Third Miss's ability, she should know where to find someone."

Ye Li was not polite and nodded, "Thank you so much. I will ask Prince Ding to exchange a gift for His Royal Highness Prince Li."

Han Mingyue smiled bitterly and looked at Ye Li, "Aren't you afraid that I will regret it?"

Ye Li smiled sweetly, "Unless you want the whole world to know about the relationship between Master Fengyue and Qingfeng Mingyue Tower and Tianyi Pavilion. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Qingluan put away the short thorn and watched Han Mingyue leave from the window. She frowned and asked in confusion: "Miss, are you just going to let him go like this?"

Ye Li stood up and stood at the window, staring at the place where Han Mingyue disappeared, "Do you really think he is the owner of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower?"

"Isn't it?"

Ye Li played with the jade pendant in her hand. "I guess not. But she must be closely related to the real Han Mingyue. It's not worth it to annoy Han Mingyue for him."

"Miss Third Ye is wise." A teasing voice with a lazy smile came from outside. Ye Li looked up at Feng Zhiyao who was leaning against the eaves at some point and said with a smile: "Mr. Feng, it is not gentlemanly to come uninvited." Feng Zhiyao waved his folding fan generously, as if he was not standing outside the girl's room but at a grand event in the spotlight. "Miss Third's means and knowledge really make Feng San admit defeat. It's not easy to take advantage of Han Mingyue." Ye Li smiled lightly and said: "I never take advantage of others. I believe that the owner of the building will think so. However, Mr. Feng San's light skills of entering and leaving the Shangshu Mansion as if there is no one around are comparable to Mr. Feng Yue."

Feng Zhiyao couldn't help but raise the veins on his forehead, and tried hard to show his elegance, "Your Highness Prince Ding invites Miss Ye San to attend Prince Li's wedding."

Ye Li raised her eyebrows, "Will Prince Ding attend such an event?" She remembered that since Mo Xiuyao's accident, he had never appeared in public again.

Feng Zhiyao smiled and said, "It's a different time now. I didn't have this plan originally. It was said that the decision was made this morning. I believe that Miss San will not be disappointed."

Ye Li blinked, and immediately understood the hidden meaning of Feng Zhiyao's words. She nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Third Master Feng, for delivering the message."

"Then Feng San will be waiting for you to drive."
