The World is Shocked 83. Xu Qingchen's Traces

Ye Li returned to her room with a collection of poems and sat down to read at ease. Princess Anxi was able to become the crown princess of Nanzhao, not because she was an idiot princess without brains. At least the people she sent to monitor were very sensible and would not let the guests feel offended.

Ye Li was too lazy to say anything more about this. If Princess Anxi really believed her completely, then she would doubt the mind of this Nanzhao princess.

"Miss, Princess Anxi has left the house." An Er came in and said in a low voice.

Ye Li nodded and said softly, "That princess is not simple. Don't get too close to her to avoid being misunderstood." An Er frowned, looked outside the door and said, "She doesn't trust us at all. In this case, it would be useless for us to stay here and it would be difficult for us to escape.

"Princess Anxi must know where big brother went. Even if she can't find big brother now, it's clear that she is not worried about his safety. What has big brother been doing since he entered Nanzhao? Can we find out?" An Er nodded, "Tomorrow

I will give it to the young lady before." Ye Li nodded and stared at the book in her hand with a frown, but her mind had already flown to a faraway place. It was obvious that her elder brother was not abducted by someone, but went to a certain place on his own initiative. But after he went there, he did not follow the instructions with Princess Anxi.

Come back at the agreed time. My eldest brother has no interests or enemies in Nanzhao, so he can only go there for Princess Anxi. Even so... according to my eldest uncle's character of planning ahead, I shouldn't have left any clues.

. Where are the clues?

A piece of rice paper was thrown on the table. Ye Li took out her usual charcoal pencil and quickly wrote and drew on the paper. The various complicated news about Southern Xinjiang sent by the secret guards that she had stayed up late to read last night kept appearing in her mind. She quickly drew a diagram of the power distribution structure of Southern Xinjiang on the paper.

Table, analysis of the various power relations in the capital of Nanzhao, etc. After a while, a large piece of rice paper was densely covered with various simple symbols and strange words. An Er looked at it strangely, which he could not understand at all, and did not speak.

Asked. Ye Lige started writing and was stunned when she looked at herself on the paper. It wasn't that she was deliberately trying to guard against anyone. What was written on this paper was actually not a secret. She just re-organized the information she saw last night.

Seeing the paper with four languages, Ye Li couldn't help but smile helplessly in her heart. In fact, she was really missing her past life. She could be a quiet and perfect princess, but she didn't like it. That's why she deliberately avoided Mo Xiuyao's attention after leaving the capital.

protection, and chose a dangerous way to proceed.

Putting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Ye Li stared at the paper spread out on the table for a long time before frowning and asking, "Why is there no news about the Saint of Southern Xinjiang?" The clear picture in front of him showed their information about the Saint of Southern Xinjiang, a crucial figure in Southern Xinjiang.

There was very little information. Even if there was, it was only a few words. It was all the most basic content and was almost the same as what she knew in the capital. Only her age, name, and even her appearance were not clear. If the Saint of Southern Xinjiang was fighting with the Crown Princess,

If it is a usurpation of power, there cannot be so little data.

An Er said: "The Saint of Southern Xinjiang is known as the guardian of the tribes of Southern Xinjiang. She is enshrined in the Saint's Temple five miles outside Nanzhao City. The Saint will not leave the Saint's Temple except for important events and festivals. The only people who can get close to the Saint are the thirty-six saints who are selected to serve her.

The current Saint, Shumanlin, took the throne at the age of fifteen. She has left the temple ten times in the past eight years, but she wore a mask every time. It is said that no one in the entire Nanzhao knows what she looks like except the previous Saint who has entered the Southern Xinjiang Holy Land.

Li shook her head. "That's impossible. The current Saint does not have the right to educate the next Saint. Then who taught the Saint? Who raised her when she was a child? Who are her parents? And...if no one has ever seen the Saint's true face,

So... who can be sure that the person under the mask is the real Saint of Southern Border?"

"This..." An Er frowned in doubt. Ye Li picked up a pen and wrote a few lines on the paper, "Look carefully for the news about the Nanzhao royal family and the Southern Xinjiang Saint, and don't miss any clues."

An Er replied, "Yes, I will send someone to do it immediately. The lady suspects... the Saint of Southern Border..."

Ye Li played with the charcoal pencil in her hand and smiled: "If the Saint of Southern Xinjiang rarely leaves the temple, how could she be involved with King Li? When King Li was on a diplomatic mission to Southern Xinjiang a few years ago, the Saint of Southern Xinjiang did not show up. So..." An Er's eyes lit up and said: "They

"We have met in private. It is impossible for King Li to send someone to negotiate the alliance with Nanjiang, and it is not easy to meet the Saint of Nanjiang." Ye Li nodded, leaning back in his chair and thinking, "Saint... this identity is really strange. Suddenly, a strange person

A girl whose identity but not her origin or ability is known is promoted to one of the most respected positions in the entire southern border. Are the people in southern border too trusting?" An Er shook his head and shrugged, "If we randomly pick someone in our Great Chu and make him the crown prince, even if the emperor Jin

I'm afraid even my words won't convince the public."

"The Saint Woman System in Southern Xinjiang seems to have existed for as long as the history of the Nanzhao Kingdom?"

"It's not that long ago. Before the establishment of Nanzhao, each tribe was independent and there was no so-called saint. It was indeed after the establishment of Nanzhao that the national teacher at that time, who was also the priest of the Nanzhao royal family, selected the first saint." An Er lowered his head and recalled. Ye Li raised an eyebrow, "It sounds like the country

The roles of the Imperial Master and the Saintess are similar, so after the Saintess appeared, the title of Imperial Master no longer existed in Nanzhao. "An Er nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "The actions of the Imperial Master are not as strict as those of the Saintess, but the responsibilities they need to fulfill are similar. However

In the eyes of the people of Southern Xinjiang, the Saint is obviously more worthy of worship than the Imperial Master. "

"Compared to an old man who likes to wander around, most people prefer a mysterious and beautiful girl." Ye Li agreed.

In the morning, after eating the breakfast brought by the maid, Ye Li prepared to go out with An Er. However, at the door, she met Princess Anxi who was also about to go out. "Miss Chu, are you going out?" Ye Li greeted her with an expectant but somewhat nervous smile.

Princess sister, is there any news about Brother Qingchen?" Princess Anxi shook her head regretfully and said, "Sorry, Miss Chu. There is no news about Master Qingchen yet." Ye Li lowered her head in disappointment and whispered, "It doesn't matter, Brother Qingchen will be fine. I and

Lin Han will also go out to look for Brother Qingchen, and he will definitely find her soon."

"Miss Chu has just arrived in Nanzhao and is unfamiliar with the place. Where do you want to find someone?"

Ye Li was at a loss as she counted her fingers and whispered, "I...I'll look around. Maybe, maybe I can find it." Princess Anxi couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Chu, if you feel bored, you can walk around the capital. If there's anywhere you want to go, you can ask the mansion to take you there."

There are people inside as guides, but there are many dangerous places in southern Xinjiang. Miss Chu must not take risks alone. Lest it worry Master Qingchen. "Ye Li nodded and said, "I know, thank you, Princess Sister. You will find Brother Qingchen quickly, right? Otherwise, I will write a letter.

Give it to Uncle Xu. Brother Qingchen said that Uncle Xu is the smartest person in the world. He will definitely find a way to find Brother Qingchen."

"Mr. Hongyu?" Princess Anxi was startled and asked softly.

Ye Li nodded heavily and said with a smile: "Princess sister also knows Uncle Xu? Did Brother Qingchen tell you?"

Princess Anxi nodded calmly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss Chu, I promise that I will find Master Qingchen soon. The journey to Southern Xinjiang is difficult, so don't let Mr. Hongyu worry. Otherwise, Master Qingchen will be worried if he finds out, right?" Ye Li blinked.

He stared at Princess Anxi in confusion for a long while before nodding and saying, "Princess, you are right."

Watching Princess Anxi leave, Ye Li followed behind her and walked out of the Princess Mansion with a faint smile, "Tell someone to follow Princess Anxi."

"yes."

In the inn, Han Mingxi walked down the hall with a look of satisfaction as if he had just woken up. His lazy, elegant and charming demeanor, different from that of people from southern Xinjiang, immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the inn. Han Mingxi naturally didn't care about others looking at him. He walked down the stairs lazily, attracting the attention of the guests.

The waiter asked, "Have you seen the two gentlemen who came with me?" The waiter was so dizzy that he said quickly, "Sir, the two gentlemen left early this morning. Oh, there is a letter for you." The waiter ran to the counter and said, "Sir, the two gentlemen left early this morning. Oh, there is a letter for you." The waiter ran to the counter and said, "Sir, the two gentlemen left early this morning. Oh, there is a letter for you." The waiter said, "Sir, the two gentlemen left early this morning.

The shopkeeper took the letter and handed it to Han Mingxi. Han Mingxi raised his eyebrows, took the letter, glanced at it and couldn't help frowning, "Jun Wei is really too mean, how could you leave me and run away? Humph, there is no one in this world that this young master can't find." He casually crumpled the letter and

He waved his hand, then hesitantly put it back in his sleeve pocket, walked out angrily, leaving only the inn with a passenger who had not yet come to his senses.

At this time, in a tavern owned by a Da Chu person opposite the inn, Ye Li, dressed in men's clothing, leisurely sat by the window drinking tea, and the person following her had changed from An Er to An San. Looking out of the window, she saw Han Ming coming out mumbling with resentment.

Ye Li looked at Han Mingxi with amusement as he walked into the crowd and gradually went away. She asked, "What did Han Mingxi do yesterday?" An San said in a deep voice, "Mr. Han went out at midnight the night before yesterday and didn't come back until 10:00 last night. He must have gone to Tianyi Pavilion in Nanzhao.

's base. We have never offended Tianyi Pavilion, Sir... do we need to check it out?" Ye Li shook his head and said, "No, as long as he doesn't hinder us, it's fine. Pay attention to the news from An Si, don't let Han Mingyue come to our door without us knowing."

An San nodded, "Strictly speaking, Young Master did not plot anything against Tianyi Pavilion. It was Young Master Han who came to Southern Xinjiang on his own. The owner of Tianyi Pavilion should not cause trouble for us."

"That's not necessarily true. Is the news from Tianyi Pavilion delivered on time?" Ye Li asked.

"Yes, I compared the information I got from Tianyi Pavilion with our own information, and the difference is not big." An San replied. Ye Li nodded with satisfaction, "That's good... If there is someone who can deceive both the Anwei and Tianyi Pavilion at the same time, then it won't be a big deal even if we are fooled.

I was wronged. I went back to ask Tianyi Pavilion for information about the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang. I told Han Mingxi that I wanted the Netherworld Flower. Now that I want information about the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang, Han Mingxi won’t be suspicious.”

"Yes, sir, there is news about the sick scholar. I'm afraid Mr. Liang can't hold on any longer. Are you..."

Ye Li frowned in worry. She had not expected to receive the news of her elder brother's disappearance as soon as she arrived in Nanzhao. As a result, not only could she not get any advice or help from Xu Qingchen, but she also had to find out Xu Qingchen's whereabouts in the shortest possible time.

If it was the Sick Scholar, he definitely couldn't ignore it. "Mr. Liang is not a martial artist after all, and the Sick Scholar's methods would probably not last long even for a martial artist." Before, the Sick Scholar was afraid that he would kill Mr. Liang and there would be no clues. Now that the token is in his hand,

Even if Mr. Liang refused to speak, he could find clues if he put in more effort. And without the token, Mr. Liang himself would not be able to explain.

"Where are they?"

"Outside the city."

Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "It is important to find the eldest brother first. Let the secret guards keep a close eye on them. If necessary, we can help those people from the Luoyi tribe to rescue Mr. Liang. We must not let him tell the sick scholar how to get the Blue Sky Flower. At least not before we have time to get it. If we can't get it, we can only snatch it by force. If we can't snatch it, we will destroy the Blue Sky Flower! We must not let the sick scholar get it."

An San said hesitantly: "The Blue Sky Flower might be able to cure the prince's illness. If it is destroyed..."

"That's why we have to try our best to get it. But if we really can't get it, we can't let the sick scholar get it. Who do you think he will want to deal with first after he gets the Blue Sky Flower?" Ye Li asked with a smile.

"Prince?"

Ye Li looked out the window and smiled faintly: "The sick scholar is the third in command of Yan Wang Pavilion. If he wants to do something, he can just send Yan Wang Pavilion's subordinates to do it. But this time he went to Southern Xinjiang alone and did not use Yan Wang Pavilion's power at all. Why? It must be that the other two in command of Yan Wang Pavilion did not agree. The sick scholar was seriously injured and almost died. Even now he is half dead. How can he not hate? But Yan Wang Pavilion and Dingguo Palace have made an agreement to never offend each other. So he can only rely on himself..." Thinking of the resentful look in the eyes of the sick scholar when he mentioned the blue sky and the yellow spring, Ye Li couldn't help but feel frightened. He even thought about whether to take the initiative to kill the sick scholar, but this thought only flashed by. Regardless of his identity as a sick scholar or for some other reason, he cannot be killed now, at least he cannot die at the hands of Princess Dingguo.

"I understand. I will never let the sick scholar get the Azure Flower."

In a secret palace somewhere in Nanzhao, marble floors and pillars were carved with exquisite patterns, exquisite gold ornaments inlaid with various gemstones, and countless night-shining pearls replaced the light from candles. The most expensive hibiscus yarn in southern Xinjiang was lingering layer by layer. Behind the yarn curtain, a handsome and elegant man in white was sitting quietly reading a book. Under the soft light of the night-shining pearls, the man's perfect profile was radiant with a faint glow, and the whole person seemed more peaceful and tranquil.

The heavy stone door was pushed open from the outside, and a slender woman walked in slowly. Unlike the traditional southern Xinjiang clothing, the woman wore a bright yellow, wide robe with phoenix patterns, and the hem of the robe dragged on the ground. Her black hair was casually tied up with gorgeous colorful gemstone ornaments, and an exquisite golden mask covered her entire face. The exquisite mask had a strange charm, making the eyes under the mask even more dazzling. The woman walked in gracefully, looked at the man in white and smiled softly, "Mr. Qingchen, do you really not want to look at me? As long as you nod, I will take off the mask and let you see."

Xu Qingchen put his book in his hands at ease, sighed, raised his head and asked: "Are you... more beautiful than those beauties in the Chujing National Beauty Picture?"

This seemed to be the first time Xu Qingchen responded to this question. The woman was a little surprised. "You like women from Da Chu? I've heard of Chu Jing Guose, but which one do you like better? Is it Su Zuidie, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Da Chu? She seems to be dead?" Xu Qingchen smiled faintly and said, "Su Zuidie... is indeed a pretty beauty. If you don't look as good as her, don't look at her."

"You!" The woman's eyes flashed with anger, but she soon calmed down and laughed, "Mr. Qingchen is too picky. I heard that your little fiancée is really good-looking, but... she doesn't seem to be stunning." Xu Qingchen lowered his eyes and lightly concealed the strange color in his eyes. The woman just thought that Xu Qingchen acquiesced and snorted, "Speaking of which, Miss Chu is indeed deeply in love with you, and she actually ran all the way to Southern Xinjiang with only one guard. In this respect, Miss Chu really doesn't look like a Central Plains woman."

"Where is she?" Xu Qingchen asked.

"Haha, she broke into the residence of our crown princess, Princess Anxi, yesterday with great fanfare. Since Princess Anxi and you are good friends, I'm sure she will treat your fiancée well." The woman smiled and covered her lips, "Master Qingchen, are you really not going to consider my proposal? After the matter is accomplished... you and I can share the world." Xu Qingchen's expression was calm, and he said softly: "If I am not mistaken, three years ago, the young lady also promised to share the world with the King of Chu Li." The woman smiled disdainfully and said: "Mo Jingli? How can he compare with you? No... I believe that no one in the world can compare with you except King Ding. It can only be... King Ding is already dead, and you are the most perfect man in the world, and the man who is most suitable for me."

Xu Qingchen shook his head, "I'm really sorry. The Xu family rules say that you should marry a woman of virtue, and the descendants of the Xu family are not allowed to covet beauty, wealth, and power. It is enough for me to marry one person in this life. Girl, I'm afraid it's useless for you to keep me locked up like this. The capital of Nanzhao is not big, and it's only a matter of time before someone finds you here." The woman half-leaned on the marble column and giggled, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you? How many bad ideas have you given Anxi in the past six months, and how many things have you ruined for me? Don't you like women from the Central Plains? Am I not more like a Central Plains woman than Anxi?" Xu Qingchen shook his head, lowered his head and continued to read, saying, "If you wanted to kill me, you would have killed me a long time ago, and...what good would it do you to kill me?"

"That's right." The woman sighed helplessly, "Killing you will cause a lot of trouble. The Xu family in the Central Plains, and maybe the Dingguo Palace will bother me. And our princess will definitely fight me to death. But... hehe, although I can't kill you, I can lock you up here. In this way, you can't ruin my business. Without you, it won't be long before that arrogant and annoying woman in Anxi will die an ugly death. Of course... there's also your lovely fiancée."

"Don't touch her!" Xu Qingchen seemed to be irritated and warned in a cold voice.

"Huh? You really care about her?" The woman looked at Xu Qingchen strangely and said, "How can you like a little girl who looks like she hasn't grown up yet?" Xu Qingchen said calmly, "As long as she is my fiancée, I will naturally care about her." The woman stared at her and said, "You mean no matter what kind of person she is, as long as she is your fiancée, you will care about her?" Xu Qingchen smiled and said, "Isn't this a very natural thing? Since she is my future wife, I don't care who she cares about?"

"You...well, I'm going to touch her to show you!" The woman sneered, glared at Xu Qingchen hatefully, and walked away.

Hearing the sound of the heavy stone door closing again, Xu Qingchen slowly put down the book in his hand. His handsome eyes lowered slightly, "Fiancée... Miss Chu... Li'er..."

Late at night, Princess Anxi's residence was quiet. Only the light in the study was still dimly lit. Princess Anxi's beautiful and heroic face was a little tired, and she looked at the man in front of her with a frown, "Is there still no news about Qingchen?" The man shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No." Princess Anxi asked anxiously, "What's the matter? Does she still not believe us and really think Qingchen is missing?"

The man nodded. "It's very possible. Even though we sent people to look for Master Qingchen everywhere, she is still very likely to think that we are colluding with Master Qingchen to put on a show for her."

"I hope nothing will happen to Qingchen." Princess Anxi closed her eyes tiredly, rubbing her painful forehead and said, "We have spent so much effort and finally made the situation better. If we fail now, I am afraid... my father..." The man frowned and said, "The king still doesn't believe the princess?" Princess Anxi smiled bitterly and said, "My father has just turned 40 and is in his prime. Even if he believes us, he will not support us. He needs another force to suppress me, the princess." If it weren't for my father's secret favoritism, how could they have failed again and again in the past six months. Every time they were about to catch that person's tail, she escaped again. "Now even the military token is in her hands. If we can't get the military token back, nothing we do will be useful."

Princess Anxi really didn't understand why her wise father had to favor that woman. But she couldn't just sit there and watch her trying to do something bad to Nanzhao. This was her responsibility as a princess of Nanzhao and the crown princess.

"Can you find out where Master Qingchen is now?" Princess Anxi asked. "If it's impossible, please ask Qingchen to withdraw first. This is Nanzhao's own business and we can't implicate him."

The man shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. Although we can receive news from Master Qingchen from time to time, it is Master Qingchen who has people contacting us. We have no way of knowing where Master Qingchen is."

"Damn it!" Princess Anxi cursed.

"There's an assassin!" A shout came from outside the courtyard. Princess Anxi stood up suddenly. The man next to her immediately drew his sword and backed out of the door. He quickly backed out and frowned, saying, "He's going to the guest house." Princess Anxi said, "There's only Miss Chu in the guest house. What does the assassin want to do with her? Let's go and take a look." After saying that, she ran out of the door and ran towards the guest house. The man quickly closed the door and ran out. The window in the corner of the study, which had returned to silence, moved slightly, and then was pushed open by someone. A black figure quickly turned over and came in. A pair of beautiful eyes were revealed under the black scarf. The man in black quickly walked to the desk and looked through the files on the desk. After reading it once, he seemed to have gained nothing and went to the bookshelf behind him to look for it. There were not many books in Princess Anxi's study. Most of them were various official documents and most of them were in the language of Southern Xinjiang. After a long time, a file hidden in the most inconspicuous corner of the bookshelf caught the eyes of the man in black. What caught her attention was not the file itself, but the seal in the shape of a sunflower. With a flash of light, a thin blade appeared at the fingertips of the man in black, and he quickly opened the sealed file. He scanned the file at a glance, and a faint smile appeared in his beautiful eyes. After resealing the file, he restored the study to its original state before climbing out of the window.

In the guest house, when Princess Anxi arrived with her guards, she was immediately stopped at the door by An Er. An Er looked at the people in front of him with a sullen face and said, "Princess, what's the matter at this late hour?" Princess Anxi said, "An assassin just broke into the guest house. Is Miss Chu okay?"

"Assassin?" An Er frowned and said, "I have been keeping watch outside all night, and no assassin came in."

Princess Anxi was stunned. The guards in her house would never lie. Moreover, she did see a few dark figures entering the guest house from a distance just now. Why did Miss Chu's guard deny it? "Guard Lin, Miss Chu is the fiancée of Master Qingchen. If there is any injury, I can't explain to Master Qingchen. Did no one really break into the guest house?" An Er looked unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Just now, when there was a quarrel outside, there were indeed a few dark figures approaching, but they were scared away by my hidden weapons. Some of them should have been injured. But they definitely did not enter the guest house. Miss's reputation is important, so please be careful with your words, Princess."

Seeing An Er's gloomy and serious expression, Princess Anxi finally understood why the guard insisted that the assassin did not come in. Women in the Central Plains are indeed much more strict about their reputation than those in Southern Xinjiang.

"I'm sorry, Guard Lin. I spoke out of turn." She waved her hand to let the guards behind her retreat and continue searching for the assassin before turning back to An Er and saying, "Was the movement just now likely to scare Miss Chu? Why didn't we see Miss Chu come out now?" An Er said indifferently, "The lady lives in the inner courtyard, so maybe she didn't hear the movement outside." Princess Anxi frowned and said, "Since Guard Lin is not convenient, I'll go and see Miss Chu myself. It would be bad if she was scared..."

"No……"

"Princess sister, what happened?" An Er was about to refuse when Ye Li's voice came from behind. Ye Li was wearing a large cloak, her hair draped over her shoulders, and there was a hint of sleepiness and confusion in her eyes. The person holding the lamp beside her was the maid sent by Princess Anxi to serve. Princess Anxi smiled and said, "It's nothing. A few little thieves just broke in. Did they disturb Miss Chu?" Ye Li tilted her head with a peaceful and pretty smile, "Don't be afraid. Lin Han is very good at martial arts. He has been protecting me all the way. Lin Han, right?" An Er bowed his head and said respectfully, "Yes, Miss, don't worry. The assassin didn't come in just now and was beaten away by my subordinates."

Princess Anxi looked at Ye Li and saw that she was normal. She nodded and said, "In that case, Miss Chu, take a good rest. I'll have someone check elsewhere to make sure there are no fish that slip through the net."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Princess." Ye Li smiled obediently. Watching Princess Anxi leave, the smile on Ye Li's face gradually faded, and she turned around and said to the maid beside her: "Let's go back too." The maid nodded and followed Ye Li to the inner courtyard. As soon as she entered the room, she felt a numbness behind her and fell to the ground. An Er appeared quietly at the door. Ye Li raised an eyebrow and looked at him, asking: "What's the matter with the assassin?" An Er said in a deep voice: "There is indeed an assassin, and it should be coming for the young lady." An Er walked into the room, bent down and pulled out a black figure from under the bed, "There were three people in total, they underestimated the enemy and were discovered by the guards of the princess's mansion. They were injured by my hidden weapons and left immediately. This one was the most seriously injured and was caught by me."

Ye Li squatted down and looked at the person on the ground. He had a typical appearance of a southern Xinjiang person. Although he was wearing a black nightgown, he did not hide his features. "It should not be Princess Anxi's man. Chu Liuyun should not have any enemies in southern Xinjiang. Who dares to chase to the princess's mansion to provoke?" An Er frowned and said, "Could it be that our identities have been known by others?"

Ye Li shook her head. "No. If our identities were known, it would not be as simple as these few low-level assassins. What happened tonight was more like a demonstration or... a provocation to Princess Anxi."

"Protesting... provoking Princess Anxi? Is it because of Master Qingchen?" An Er guessed. Ye Li nodded and said thoughtfully: "I think so too. In Southern Xinjiang, the only person who is related to Chu Liuyun is my elder brother. However, what's the point of provoking me without hurting my flesh? In comparison, it is more useful to capture me and threaten my elder brother. If my elder brother is in the hands of the other party."

"With the abilities of these assassins, they can't take anyone away from the princess's mansion even if my subordinates are not here." The guards of the princess's mansion were already alarmed before they even touched the guest house. Such assassins can't even kill people, let alone kidnap living people. "Miss, can you guess who did it?"

Ye Li smiled and said, "I didn't know at first, but now I'm somewhat sure. Let's try your interrogation ability tomorrow and verify my idea."
