The group ate barbecue while discussing the reports from their bodyguards that day.
Rong Qi: "Today, Mu Yanzheng actually came out of Huayue Tower for the first time ever. The courtyard he went to has only an anonymous name on the land deed. According to our people, after he went in, he went directly to a secret room and stayed there for two hours before coming out. As for who he went to see, His Highness the Crown Prince should know the answer."
Mu Weiliang gave him a look that said, "You're just making this up: If even the Underworld Pavilion of the eldest son of the Rong family couldn't find out, how could I possibly know?"
Rong Qi scoffed, "Your Highness, have you really not found anything, or do you simply not want to tell me?"
Mu Weiliang shook her head: "No, after all, they are people from your Azure Dragon Kingdom, it wouldn't be good for me to say it."
Feng Qinghuang listened to the two of them going back and forth, but they couldn't come up with anything conclusive.
"What are you talking about? I'm completely confused."
Rong Qi quickly complained, "Jiaojiao, His Highness the Crown Prince has clearly found out who the person who met with Mu Yanzheng is, but he doesn't want to tell us."
Mu Weiliang looked at him: "Hey, Prince Rong, how did you know I found out?"
Rong Qi curled his lips: "The Crown Prince of a country, I don't believe you didn't have someone by his side. Otherwise, you would be a complete failure as the Crown Prince."
"As expected of the Crown Prince Rong, you are right. I did indeed place someone by his side. I won't lie to you, yesterday my men followed him all the way to the secret room. They only saw the person who met with Mu Yanzheng. He was completely covered up, and his face was also covered. However, there was a crescent-shaped mark on his wrist that was exposed."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qi froze, realizing who the person was.
Unexpectedly, Rong Che, who had always been well-behaved and obedient in the palace, also got involved.
At the emperor's birthday banquet, he refused the princess, assuming she was a docile person who wouldn't interfere in the affairs of the two countries. Unexpectedly, while outwardly refusing, she was secretly having an affair with Mu Yanzheng.
He's kept it very well hidden all these years. It seems I'll have to investigate him thoroughly when I get back.
Rong Qi still didn't tell the Emperor about this matter. He wanted to wait until the situation was cleared up before informing him, lest the Emperor reveal all his emotions on his face.
Alas, the Emperor's uncle must be heartbroken again.
Feng Qinghuang turned to Rong Qi: "Qi, do you know who that person is?"
Rong Qi nodded: "Yes, I suppose there should be some news by tomorrow. His Highness the Crown Prince should be ready by now."
Mu Weiliang: "Of course. As long as they make a move, the traps are already set for them, and we guarantee to catch them all in one fell swoop. However, it won't be that easy to catch the person behind the scenes. It just means that Mu Xinyan will have to suffer a bit."
"Well, those two aren't stupid either; they won't reveal their weaknesses so easily."
As the two were talking, Feng Qinghuang, who had finished eating, began to doze off.
Rong Qi chuckled and pulled her into his arms: "Jiaojiao, what's wrong? Is our conversation so hypnotic?"
Feng Qinghuang nodded dazedly: "What you two said doesn't really concern me, so I don't want to think about it. And after sitting in the carriage all day, I'm so tired."
Rong Qi picked up a damp cloth, wiped her hands and face, picked her up, and carried her towards the tent.
Rong Qi gently placed the person in his arms on the thick bedding, took off her outer clothes and shoes, covered her with a quilt, and waited until she fell asleep before turning around and leaving.
Mu Weiliang looked at him with schadenfreude: "Tsk, he's raising his junior sister like a daughter."
Rong Qi ignored him and continued to eat his meat elegantly: "What do you know? I'm willing, as long as Jiao Jiao likes it. You'll understand when you have someone you like in the future."
Mu Weiliang nodded: "Alright, seeing your feelings for Jiaojiao, I'm relieved. You know, when Master first brought Jiaojiao here, she was just a newborn baby, soft and cuddly, incredibly cute, smiling at everyone, but her body was very weak. Master used medicinal baths to regulate her body for two or three years. He made her strong from a young age, which is why she has such a healthy physique later on. She is the treasure of everyone in our sect, so please be careful."
Rong Qi had already investigated what Mu Weiliang had said. However, he was still very grateful to Jiao Jiao's sect for their care and protection.
"Don't worry, Jiaojiao is my life. My whole being and everything else belongs to her."
Mu Weiliang: "Then we'll wait and see."
The two talked until very late before going to sleep.
When Mu Weiliang saw Rong Qi, he went straight into his junior sister's tent without saying anything. After all, he already knew what was going on when they only brought out two tents.
Since his junior sister is only fifteen years old, Rong Qi can't just act like a rude person.
