The next day, it was still the third floor of the Dark Night Pavilion.
Rong Qi and Feng Qinghuang told Mu Weiliang that they were going to the desolate forest in a couple of days. The end result was that they were bringing along another burden. Oh, no, a third wheel.
Rong Qi was very reluctant to bring this third wheel along. However, no matter what, Mu Weiliang insisted on coming along.
Finally, Feng Qinghuang slammed her hand on the table and decided to take her third senior brother with her, leaving Rong Qi with no choice.
Mu Weiliang: "If you don't take me, I'll go by myself. Anyway, whatever happens, I'll tell His Majesty the Emperor of Qinglong Kingdom in the end. If you take me, I'll keep it a secret for you."
Rong Qi glanced at him: "Then your princess doesn't need protection anymore?"
Mu Weiliang didn't take it seriously: "Ever since your Emperor found out that Mu Yanzheng had arrived, the post station has been completely surrounded. Besides, Qianxun and Baoxia are protecting her. With so many people, if something still happens to her, then she can only blame her bad luck."
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "Alright, you and Aqi will do it secretly. You, on the other hand, will leave the city openly. I'm sure Mu Yanzheng will make a move when he finds out you're leaving. Let's see what Mu Yanzheng is up to and where he'll be staying. He can't possibly stay at Huayue Tower every day, can he?"
"Hey, if you want to leave the city, will the Emperor send a whole bunch of people to follow you?"
Rong Qi: "Don't worry, Jiaojiao, I'll take care of this."
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "Alright, Third Senior Brother, there's one more question. Why did Mu Yanzheng go to the brothel immediately? Is he just a lecherous person, or is there something about the Flower Moon Brothel that attracts him, or is it his contact point?"
Mu Weiliang nodded: "He is used to being a womanizer. He has more than a dozen concubines in his princely residence, and he also goes to brothels occasionally. But in Tianzhu Kingdom, he often goes to that place. He is the master behind it, so it is not wrong for him to go. As for what attracts him to Huayue Tower in Qinglong Kingdom, or whether it is his contact point, it still needs to be investigated and has not been confirmed yet."
At this moment, Rong Qi spoke up: "According to the investigation by the Underworld Pavilion, the person behind Huayue Tower is Rong Che. As for Mu Yanzheng, he must have also found out who is behind this, so he went to try his luck and see if he could have another ally."
Feng Qinghuang: "Ah, then Aqi, did you tell the Emperor about this?"
Rong Qi shook his head: "Not yet. The real reason is still uncertain, so we can't tell him. One reason is Rong Che's identity, which prohibits him from engaging in private business outside the palace. Also, even if he is the master behind the scenes, Mu Yanzheng is just going to drink and carouse and hasn't had any direct contact with Rong Che, so there is no direct relationship between them."
“Rong Che has been behaving extremely humbly in the palace, and few people know about this. Moreover, as far as I know, Rong Che has not done anything heinous so far, so we cannot act rashly. Otherwise, once this matter is exposed, his status will be in grave danger.”
Feng Qinghuang nodded, then thought for a moment and asked, "Does Aqi have any business outside, besides the Underworld Pavilion?"
After listening, Rong Qi looked at her with amusement: "What, Jiao Jiao, are you afraid I won't be able to support you in the future?"
Feng Qinghuang pouted, "No, I was just asking. Besides, I can support Aqi, what's the big deal!"
"Oh? I didn't expect my darling to be such a rich girl. I guess I'll have to rely on her to support me from now on."
Feng Qinghuang beamed with joy: "Great! Great!"
Mu Weiliang was utterly speechless at her silly junior sister. She'd be so easily fooled by Rong Qi that she'd practically be counting the money for him. He almost got her to reveal her entire fortune in just a few words. She really needed to be more careful.
Tsk tsk tsk, this woman in love is simply unbearable to look at.
Where did you go when you were up in the mountain? Where did you leave all that cunning, strength, intelligence, wisdom, courage, and decisiveness? Pick them up now!
On the mountain, you're always scheming against this senior brother, or that senior brother, even Master has been tricked by you. Today you're up the mountain catching snakes, tomorrow you're catching wolves, but when it comes to Rong Qi, you're suddenly all delicate and easily pushed over? Are you still the junior sister I know? Give me back my junior sister right now!
Feng Qinghuang and Rong Qi completely ignored the way Mu Weiliang was looking at them. The two chatted intimately, one sentence after another.
Mu Weiliang now understood. He figured it would be the same when they went to the desolate forest in a couple of days. He was just getting used to it in advance, so he wouldn't be overwhelmed by the dog food later.
