Floating in mid-air, Mi Li looked relaxed: "The one who came out is a master. How do you plan to deal with such a big fuss? Let me make it clear beforehand, I will not be your henchman."
Seeing her arrogant demeanor, Zu An couldn't help but think of the last one who called himself "this Empress," who had just been shot a thousand times by him: "Don't worry, you don't need to lift a finger. This one is an acquaintance."
"Oh?" Mi Li was a little curious. Judging from the aura fluctuations that the old man had just released, he should be at the peak of the ninth rank. Although Zu An's cultivation level was not so low that he was powerless to fight, he was definitely no match for him. She wondered where he got his confidence from.
At this moment, the old man, carrying a long sword on his back, coldly stared at Zu An and Hou Wu at his feet: "Your Excellency has come to cause trouble at the Qi Prince's Mansion. You must have a death wish."
Zu An said calmly, "What arrogance! We Embroidered-Robe Envoys act on behalf of the Emperor, so why can't we come to your Qi Prince's residence?"
This guy is indeed an old acquaintance; he's Han Fengqiu, the expert who saved Prince Qi's son last time. I have to say, his sword aura is indeed quite sharp.
Han Fengqiu's breath hitched: "There's no need to use the Emperor's name to intimidate us. You are acting on behalf of the Emperor, but that doesn't give you the right to be lawless. You went to Prince Qi's residence and seriously injured the guards for no reason. You should know that they are also employed by the court. Even if I kill you today, the Emperor won't blame us."
As he spoke, he prepared to make his move. The reputation of the Gold Medal Embroidered Envoy was well-known, and he dared not underestimate them. However, he had never heard of any Gold Medal Envoy breaking through to the Grandmaster level, so in terms of cultivation, they should all be inferior to him.
As for the formations of the other embroidered envoys, with so many guards surrounding them, they dared not make any rash moves to help.
Having figured all this out, he became even more certain. Just as he was about to make his move, he heard the other party speak.
“Who said I did nothing wrong?” Zu’an pointed at Hou Wu on the ground. “This guy just called us lackeys. Everyone knows that the Embroidered-Robe Envoys only follow the Emperor’s orders. Aren’t you calling the Emperor a dog?”
"I didn't, I didn't mean that..." Hou Wu, who had been full of resentment, was now so frightened that he almost lost his mind.
Han Fengqiu: "..."
He was quite amused; were these guards used to being so outspoken that they dared to speak carelessly even to the Embroidered-Robed Envoy?
Zu An continued, "Just now, I noticed that Mr. Han's words to the Emperor didn't seem very respectful. Is everyone in the Qi Prince's mansion like this now? I wonder if it's a case of the superiors setting an example for the inferiors, or what the reason is?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Han Fengqiu was anxious. Everyone said that the Embroidered Robe Envoys were difficult to deal with, and today he saw that it was indeed true. Once they bit him, he would be skinned alive even if he didn't die.
He was not afraid of the other party in terms of force, but the other party kept bringing up the emperor, which worried him and caused trouble for the Prince of Qi, putting him in a dilemma.
That embroidered-robed messenger is utterly shameless!
Anger from Han Fengqiu: +233 +233 +233...
Just then, a dignified woman's voice rang out: "What exactly happened?"
Zuan looked back and saw a gilded luxury carriage parked nearby, surrounded by a squad of guards.
The guards in the palace hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Princess?" Zu An fell into deep thought. According to the intelligence he had investigated before, Princess Qi, Bi Fanghua, was the Crown Princess's half-sister. Although they were sisters, there was a significant age difference between them. Princess Qi's son, Zhao Zhi, was much older than the Crown Princess.
It seems that Bi Linglong's father, Bi Qi, is an old man who married a young woman, which is why there is such a large age gap.
The Crown Princess and the Princess of Qi are not on good terms, and to some extent they are even at odds. Firstly, the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qi are vying for the position of heir apparent, so their positions are naturally at odds. Secondly, it is probably also related to their mothers. Bi Qi's first wife and his later wife were the kind of people who would fight to the death the moment they met.
At this moment, Han Fengqiu ran to the carriage and whispered what had just happened. A moment later, Princess Qi’s voice came: “I thought it was something serious. Prince Qi is indeed not in the manor. If Eleventh Lord has something to ask, you can ask me. Please come into the manor.”
Mi Li chuckled lightly: "You're quite a clever woman. You cut through the Gordian knot and solved the root problem directly, and the other minor issues were easily resolved as well."
Zu'an sighed inwardly, thinking that the King of Qi's women were not to be trifled with.
He naturally seized the opportunity to back down: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Your Highness."
Soon the gilded carriage door opened, and a pair of shapely, straight, white legs stepped out. Zu An stared wide-eyed. What the hell? Wasn't Princess Qi quite old? Why were her legs still as firm and alluring as a young girl's?
He quickly told himself to think about that unlucky guy Zhao Zhi, whose son is already so grown up, and not to have such heavy tastes.
Immediately afterwards, a beautiful figure stepped off the carriage. Tall and slender, with a cold and beautiful face, she casually tied her hair up with a jade hairpin, which made her neck appear even longer and whiter, and her whole person looked noble and elegant.
Zuan was taken aback, not by the woman's beauty, but by her identity.
Because this long-legged beauty is an acquaintance, the beautiful Principal Jiang Luofu!
Could Jiang Luofu be the Princess Consort of Qi?
Zuan seemed completely lost and dejected.
However, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because another middle-aged woman stepped down from the carriage. She was clearly well-maintained and must have been a beauty when she was young, although the wrinkles around her eyes showed that time had left its mark on her.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Jiang Luofu reminded her from the side, and reached out to help her down the steps.
"Your beautiful headmistress seems to have a good relationship with the Qi Prince's mansion, huh?" Mi Li teased Zu An as she approached him. She naturally recognized Jiang Luofu and knew about her relationship with Zu An.
