Chapter 208 If you don’t want to eat, get out!
"Let's go out first. There are so many guests waiting outside. It would be bad if we were delayed. If she really wants to set a trap, she will definitely do it. Just be alert at all times."
Master Yue comforted her, saying that as long as he was there, he would take responsibility for everything no matter what happened!
Xu Yanyi nodded: "Well, this is the only way."
The two of them left the warehouse one after the other.
Suddenly, Xu Yanyi seemed to remember something, and she paused. She waved and called the servant next to her over: "Bring me the list of guests who came into the princess's mansion today."
The servant quickly brought over a long list.
Anyone who enters the princess's mansion for a banquet, whether they are the host or the accompanying servants, must be registered one by one, and all identities must be clearly listed. This is the royal rule.
Xu Yanyi looked at the flower list carefully, and Master Yue came over: "What's the matter? Is there any problem?"
"Li Qiuer brought two girls with her, but there was none of them around her just now."
Xu Yanyi pointed at Li Qiuer's name, feeling a little puzzled.
Master Yue reacted and whispered in her ear: "You mean, those two girls took advantage of the crowd and no one was paying attention to them, and probably sneaked to some corner of the princess's mansion to set a trap?"
"That's possible. If there's nothing wrong with the gift, then there's something wrong with the person. If it's serious, why didn't her personal maid follow her?" Xu Yanyi tightly grasped the roster and asked the servant, "Where are the two maids beside Li Qiu'er?"
The servant scratched his head and said, "I didn't see it."
Master Yue waved his hand to let him retreat. He pulled Xu Yanyi to the back of a rockery on the side. With a flick of his wrist, the little green snake slid down.
The little black snake on Xu Yanyi's wrist also hissed and crawled down.
Master Yue hissed something to the two little snakes, one blue and one black, and made a few gestures. The two little snakes then quickly crawled away in two directions.
"They can move more easily than we can."
Master Yue explained, "We should be able to find it."
After a cup of tea, the two little snakes crawled back and hissed in Master Yue's ears for a long time.
Master Yue put away the little green snake and gave the little black snake to Xu Yanyi. Then he spoke: "Those two girls buried a total of seven little cloth figures in the yard outside your room."
Little cloth man?
Xu Yanyi's face darkened. Was he trying to frame her for using disgusting tactics?
Good guys!
Burying seven at once! If you are not careful you might miss one!
The art of victory is a capital crime in Northern Qin!
Xu Yanyi had just moved into the new princess mansion today, and Li Qiuer and her men came so suddenly that Xu Yanyi was completely unprepared. Moreover, she did not have many people to begin with, and with so many people coming, even her personal Xiaoyu was arranged to help in the kitchen. So there was no one guarding where Xu Yanyi lived. Li Qiuer's men were able to move in unhinged!
How vicious!
Master Yue said: "I'll help you get all those out!"
Xu Yanyi narrowed her eyes, stretched out her hand to hold his arm, and laughed coldly: "Don't worry, since she wants to play, I will open a big one for her and let her experience it well!"
*The banquet had been set up, and Li Qiuer was there greeting the guests like a hostess. A group of guests surrounded Mu Nanzhou and chatted and laughed. No one noticed that this was Xu Yanyi's princess residence, Xu Yanyi was the host, and this was Xu Yanyi's Qiaoqian wine house.
"Princess Huiyang has arrived!"
Xiaoyu raised her voice, and the guests slowly turned around and saluted symbolically.
"Meet the Princess!"
"Meet the Princess!"
Xu Yanyi raised her hand calmly: "No need to be polite. Please take a seat."
Li Qiuer looked at Master Yue beside her with a look of disgust, and suddenly said: "Master Yue, please sit here. I will take you there."
As she spoke, Li Qiuer came forward and wanted to lead Master Yue to sit on the side. That seat was at the westernmost end of the garden. There was a single table for the servants of the princess's mansion to eat. Who would sit there as a proper guest?
In Li Qiuer's eyes, this Master Yue helps Xu Yanyi all day long, has a grudge against Mu Nanzhou, and seems to have some leverage over Mu Nanzhou. He is just a businessman. Why should he be so arrogant that he should sit with those lowly servants and eat the leftovers of his master!
Master Yue frowned, but he didn't say anything. Just as he was about to take a step forward, Xu Yanyi said calmly: "Li Qiu'er, this seems to be the princess's residence, how come it's your turn to make arrangements?"
After saying that, Xu Yanyi looked directly at Mu Nanzhou: "King Nanling, your cousin is overstepping your authority, isn't she?"
Mu Nanzhou didn't mind Li Qiuer's little thoughts at all. He was also annoyed when he saw Zhan Qiyue!
Mu Nanzhou sneered and said, "You are a busy person and have never come out to entertain guests. Qiu'er helped you, but you didn't thank her. Now you want to blame her for an outsider?"
"Isn't Li Qiu'er also an outsider to me? Could it be that she has a secret relationship with you and I still have to support her?"
Xu Yanyi said it directly, and everyone present gasped.
Li Qiuer's face turned green, and she said aggrievedly: "I am just following the rules. If...if I made a mistake, then..."
"Then you are certainly wrong. You don't even know the rules of my princess's mansion, and you still want to do things according to the rules? What rules are you following? Everyone knows that you covet the position of Princess Nanling, but do you also covet the position of the eldest princess? It's a pity that you can't do this no matter how hard you try. Maybe you can be reborn again."
Xu Yanyisi didn't give her any face. She looked at Master Yue and introduced him to everyone, "This is the master I hired at a great expense. The Nanling Palace is full of evil spirits. Who knows if I will be contaminated here? This master is the senior brother of Huang Mei Zhenren. The Queen Mother personally ordered Huang Mei Zhenren to go to Nanling Palace last time."
Many people know about this, but that time Huang Mei was invited to exorcise the evil spirit for Xu Yanyi, and everyone said that Xu Yanyi was possessed by an evil spirit. Now it seems that it was not Xu Yanyi who was possessed by an evil spirit, but Li Qiuer secretly used some magic, and Xu Yanyi was just unlucky and was contaminated by it?
A group of people looked at Li Qiuer with strange eyes.
Li Qiuer stomped her feet in anger. Why were they directing their criticism at her again?
Xu Yanyi is so abominable now. Just a random word can get her into trouble!
Mu Nanzhou's handsome face was dark: "Xu Yanyi, don't talk nonsense, Zhan Qiyue..."
"Please take your seat. If you don't want to eat, get out."
Xu Yanyi was too lazy to talk and walked directly to the host seat. Master Yue followed with his eyebrows lowered. When passing by Mu Nanzhou, Xu Yanyi paused and said to Li Qiuer, "Well, you go sit over there."
It was referring to the place that Li Qiuer wanted to arrange for Master Yue to go just now.
Li Qiuer's eyes widened: "You want me to sit over there with those servants?"
