Bai Yan really didn't expect to see this girl here.
Although he was a little surprised, he quickly realized that the fact that she could appear in the Imperial Master's Mansion and even walk in front of him must have been allowed by Su Li.
Seeing his expression that seemed as if he shouldn't be here, Yue Xi widened her eyes in disbelief.
Even though she was outside, she had no intention of entering the house. She just muttered a few words in a low voice, and said with some dissatisfaction and grievance:
"What... Your Highness, you don't miss me at all. I almost lost my life trying to help you find that Gu. I have so many people, but I still don't have any——"
"Well, forget about your drums. I have someone looking after them for you."
Bai Yan raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows. He had said before that he felt like he had forgotten something. It turned out that he had forgotten this girl.
Thinking about asking Yue Xi to help him get the Gu, he looked at the girl in front of him.
Bai Yan was just about to say something when he saw the little girl smiling excitedly, her eyes sparkling as she took out a small box from her waist.
It was a specially made jade box. Even without holding it in your hand, you could still feel the coolness emanating from it.
Yue Xi, wearing specially made silk gloves, carefully opened the box in front of Bai Yan, and spoke excitedly as if presenting a treasure:
"Your Highness, you see, it took me a lot of effort to catch these things."
Yue Xi said that she was thinking about what happened when she came back, and she complained very dissatisfiedly.
"If I hadn't accidentally run into a madman who was being hunted on the way back, and I hadn't been hunted down as well, I would have returned long ago and wouldn't have kept Your Highness waiting for so long!"
"I'm glad everyone is okay."
Bai Yan spoke lightly, taking only a glance at the small poisonous insect inside.
To be exact, there are two pills, one black and one white.
Yue Xi explained, "Those things are really good at running around, so they're hard to catch. I sealed them in pills just in case."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. These Gu still have their intended uses. These things won't affect them."
Yue Xi spoke with a smile and put the box away.
Bai Yan nodded but did not say what he wanted to use this Gu for.
After all, the purpose of what he wanted to do had been achieved long ago, and now he naturally does not need to rely on external forces.
Yue Xi didn't ask too much. In her opinion, since Bai Yan asked her to find this thing, it must have a use for it.
As a subordinate, she only needs to follow Bai Yan's arrangements.
But she would never have thought that Bai Yan had asked him to get this Gu in order to control Su Li.
But now he doesn't need to use anything else to control her. As long as he says a word, Su Li will willingly give him everything she has.
"Now that you're back, you should go back and have a good rest. Why are you here at the Imperial Master's Residence?"
Bai Yan supported his head with one hand. A gust of wind blew and the peach blossoms fell into his palm.
The peach blossoms should have fallen by now, but Su Li had a few late peach trees transplanted because he liked them.
She also used some tricks to keep the peach blossoms blooming, just to make him happy.
Yue Xi had already noticed the peach blossoms still blooming here.
Just hearing Bai Yan's question, he explained without thinking too much:
"Oh, the Imperial Master has to go to the palace to help with some matters these two days. He's afraid that the Prime Minister's remaining forces will counterattack, so he asked me to come here to take care of His Highness."
It is both care and protection.
Bai Yan also noticed that Yue Xi's attitude towards Su Li was much better now.
At least in private, he no longer called her by her name, nor did he show any disdainful look.
He still remembered how much this girl rejected Su Li at first, and even felt that Su Li had other purposes in approaching him.
Yue Xi didn't notice the change in Bai Yan's eyes at all, and just said with a sigh:
"I misjudged the Imperial Master before. I didn't expect that he actually wanted to befriend His Highness. But it's strange..."
Yue Xi moved as she spoke, her brows furrowed slightly, and her voice lowered a bit.
"It's obvious that An San and the others are stronger than me. Since the Imperial Master wants to protect His Highness, why does he let me take care of His Highness and not let them come?"
What Yue Xi didn't say was that she always had the illusion that Su Li seemed unwilling to let other men get close to her prince.
The feeling was so weird and strange that Yue Xi couldn't explain why.
She could feel that Su Li really cared about Bai Yan's attitude, so she didn't think about it too much.
"By the way, Your Highness, do you know what happened to An San and An Qi?"
Yue Xi leaned against the window, unwilling to continue talking about Su Li.
She also had a general understanding of what had happened during this period of time and knew that Bai Yan had been staying in the Imperial Master's Mansion all this time.
Then her eyes flashed with an ambiguous light again, with an expression of eating melons,
"I went looking for them when I came back. I also thought those two guys were strange, but I couldn't really put my finger on what was strange..."
"An San seems to have offended An Qi. I heard him apologizing to him two days ago, but An Qi ignored him completely. An San just kept following him."
"They even came to blows. You don't even know how loud it was. I seriously doubt they were going to tear the room apart!"
The little girl smiled with her eyes curved, not thinking that there was anything wrong with her understanding, and she firmly believed that the two people were fighting.
Bai Yan had something in mind, and he could have explained it.
He just looked at Yue Xi in front of him who knew nothing about this, and was silent for a long time, and in the end he didn't say anything.
Forget it, some things are better left unsaid.
After all, although Yue Xi's hobby is a little special, she is just a little girl after all.
Yue Xi knew nothing about love affairs, and there was no need for him to talk about these things with a little girl.
Fortunately, Yue Xi felt bored after talking alone for a while, so she didn't continue talking about these things, but instead talked to him about the situation in the palace.
The news of Bai Xinghe's murder could not be concealed. Nangong Wan said that she could not bear the blow and committed suicide. In fact, she was killed by Yun Muxue who personally watched her drink a glass of poisoned wine.
Yue Xi folded her arms, raised her eyes slightly, looked into the distance and sighed:
"I went with the Empress. Your Highness, you don't know that Nangong Wan, until her death, still believed that it was the Empress who stole His Majesty away, and that it was His Majesty who betrayed their friendship."
"He even cursed His Majesty and His Majesty. He was crazy and scary."
Yue Xi sighed with a hint of regret and said:
"It's a pity for that beautiful skin. I could have taken it back to make a doll, but I was afraid that the queen wouldn't like it, so I specially mixed a cup of poison."
"In half an incense stick's time, she was reduced to nothing but bones right before our eyes."
"But she should have thought of it earlier..."
