Chapter 221 Fortunately, she is extremely smart, otherwise I wouldn’t understand!

Xie Yutang took a compass and led a group of people to investigate everywhere. If he didn't look so professional, Xu Yanyi would have suspected that he was playing tricks. But even though he looked very serious, Xu Yanyi still felt that he had other intentions.

Exorcising evil spirits in the Nanling Palace was more like a cover, just to find something.

Xu Yanyi stood there and observed for a long time before Xie Yutang reacted and hurried forward: "Princess..."

"Can you call me something else?"

Xu Yanyi reminded him with a smile, but the smile did not even reach her eyes.

Xie Yutang said quickly: "Didn't the princess go to the princess's mansion? We can't stay here..."

"I came out for a walk and came to see how your exorcism was going." Xu Yanyi took a look at his compass and was even more certain that Xie Yutang was definitely looking for something under the guise of exorcising evil spirits for King Nanling. This compass was just a decoration and didn't move at all!

Xie Yutang quietly put the compass away and said politely: "The situation in the palace is not serious, but it is also serious. It all depends on the princess... oh, no, it all depends on the princess."

Xu Yanyi looked at him with a deep gaze: "Master Xie, you can explain it more clearly."

"Since the evil spirit of Princess Nanling was brought by Li Qiu'er, and now Li Qiu'er has been sent to the Ministry of Justice, it stands to reason that the evil spirit has been eliminated. But since there is an evil spirit, how did it come into being? Of course, we have to guard against it. If we guard against it well, the evil spirit will be eliminated. If we fail to guard against it, I'm afraid the princess and the prince will have to spend a lot of time and effort to deal with it."

Xie Yutang smiled slightly and said, "Those who can give birth to evil spirits are naturally very capable. Conversely, aren't you the only one who can really prevent evil spirits, the eldest princess of noble birth?"

Depend on!

This is a very roundabout way of saying it!

If it were the original owner, he probably wouldn't have any idea what bullshit this guy is talking about!

Fortunately, Xie Yutang was facing the top boss Xu Yanyi.

Xu Yanyi's eyes moved, and she came close to Xie Yutang and whispered, "Are you saying that Li Qiu'er has a relationship with the Queen Mother?"

If it isn't the old witch Queen Mother, who else could be so capable?

Xie Yutang's eyes flashed with admiration: "I am just guessing according to the hexagram. The Nanling Palace still needs to exorcise evil spirits for a long time. In order to prevent the princess from being contaminated by evil spirits, she should not come during this period of time."

Xu Yanyi pursed her lips and nodded slightly: "Okay, thank you very much."

*After coming out of the Nanling Palace, Xu Yanyi was not in a hurry to return to the Princess's Palace. Instead, she strolled slowly on the street. If she hadn't been wearing a veil, Xiaoyu would have been afraid that someone would confront Xu Yanyi.

Unable to hold back, Xiaoyu whispered, "Princess, what happened in the palace just now?"

Xu Yanyi shook her head: "Nothing happened. When I found Mu Liufang's bracelet in the princess's mansion, I was thinking that the person who could get the bracelet was either my father or the empress dowager. After all, it was the empress dowager who handled my father's funeral. Maybe she took out the bracelet and gave it to Li Qiuer.

If we follow this line of thought, the Queen Mother has always been wary of Mu Nanzhou who holds a large number of troops, so she naturally wants to find someone to restrain and monitor Mu Nanzhou. Li Qiuer was arranged by Mu Liufang to be by Mu Nanzhou's side to take care of him.

The Queen Mother gave my father's bracelet to Mu Liufang, which means that Mu Liufang is the Queen Mother's spy. Otherwise, why would she give her such a hard-to-get and valuable thing? Then Li Qiu'er is the same. I went to Nanling Palace to try my luck. If the person who came was Xie Yutang, maybe he could tell me something.

After all, Xie Yutang wanted me to help him get the Xie family back to the capital, so he should know something. After all, he has been exorcising the evil for so long and still doesn’t allow anyone to live there. It sounds a bit strange. The Queen Mother should have given him some instructions…”

Xiaoyu was like being struck by lightning: "Princess, you...you are too amazing. You can associate so many twists and turns with this bracelet. You are almost confusing me!"

Xu Yanyi rolled her eyes at her and said, "I told you to read more and think more, but you didn't listen. Well, now you can't keep up, right?"

Xiaoyu pursed her lips in shame. The princess before was not so smart!

"Then Princess, even if Li Qiu'er and Mu Liufang are both the Queen Mother's people, so what? The Queen Mother is not a good person to begin with."

Xiaoyu muttered.

Xu Yanyi sighed speechlessly: "Xiaoyu, you said you are so naive, how did you survive this?"

Xiaoyu cried and said: "Your servant..."

"We all know that the Queen Mother is not a good person, but Mu Liufang and Li Qiu'er are both her people. What does this mean? It means that even Mu Nanzhou doesn't know that there is a chess piece of the Queen Mother buried next to him. It's even harder for me to say. Who knows if there is one next to me?"

Xu Yanyi naturally did not doubt Xiaoyu, but after the rebellion, the one who benefited was not only the little emperor, the bigger beneficiaries were the empress dowager and the grand tutor. Now the only person she was jealous of in the whole Northern Qin was Mu Nanzhou. If the people around Mu Nanzhou were all her people, it would be a sooner or later time for her to deal with Xu Yanyi. And the most important thing was, was the rebellion related to the empress dowager and the grand tutor?

Xiaoyu stamped her feet anxiously: "Princess, I am not the Queen Mother's servant, I..."

"I know." Xu Yanyi patted her hands and pointed forward, "You go back to the Princess's Mansion first, I'll be back soon."

Xiaoyu was stunned and looked in the direction Xu Yanyi pointed. A team of about 20 cavalrymen were following a middle-aged man into the city, and the people were making way for them.

Yuan Jiajun.

The leader was General Yuan.

Xu Yanyi remembered that Xie Yutang said that General Yuan and the Minister of War saw the original owner leaving the city with a stranger.

Just as Xu Yanyi was about to step forward, General Yuan on horseback suddenly pulled out the arrow on his back, drew the bow, and shot directly in the direction of Xu Yanyi.

whoosh!

Seeing that the arrow was about to reach Xu Yanyi's forehead, Xu Yanyi sneered and raised his hand to grasp the handle of the arrow.

Click.

Xu Yanyi broke the arrow with her bare hands and threw it on the ground, but she was playing with the arrow in her hand, not paying any attention to what had happened.

"Princess, are you okay?"

Xiaoyu finally came to her senses, her face turned pale with fright.

Xu Yanyi curled her lips in contempt and suddenly threw the arrow in her hand. General Yuan fell off his horse with a bang and broke his right arm.

"ah--"

General Yuan shouted, and Yuan's army rushed forward.

"General!"

"General!"

A hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Yanyi's wrist, and the man gently pulled her onto the carriage.

Xu Yanyi had just sat down when she suddenly looked up and met Master Yue's helpless eyes.
