1705 Surveillance, let aunt talk to me in person

The reason why the Ninth Prince said that there would be a tough battle the next day was because the Palace Master of Xuanyue Palace and Li Xuanyue would be visiting today.

The Ninth Prince attaches great importance to Xuanyue Palace not because it is a sect with the word "Xuan" in its name, but because the Ninth Prince will not be able to rest easy until the identity of the woman named "Aunt" mentioned by Lan Jingyang is clarified.

According to the news received by the Ninth Prince, the aunt mentioned by Lan Jingyang, the mysterious woman, also came with the Palace Master of Xuan Yue Palace, but she did not show up, but quietly hid among the entourage of Xuan Yue Palace.

As usual, the Ninth Prince entertained the Palace Master of Xuanyue Palace, while Feng Qingchen entertained Li Xuanyue. Li Xuanyue did not have a good face towards Feng Qingchen. When she saw Feng Qingchen, she just snorted and turned her face away and ignored Feng Qingchen.

Feng Qingchen naturally would not seek to embarrass himself, so he asked someone to give him a travel note and sat there to read it.

Li Xuanyue stole a glance at Feng Qingchen several times. Seeing that Feng Qingchen was watching with great interest, she felt uncomfortable and coughed twice to interrupt Feng Qingchen's attention: "Feng...Miss." Li Xuanyue originally wanted to call her by her name, but halfway through she realized that she had something to ask of her.

"What's the matter, Miss Xuan Yue?" Feng Qingchen turned around, put down the book in his hand and asked.

She couldn't say she hated Li Xuanyue, nor did she like her. As long as Shaoqi liked Li Xuanyue, she would support them being together, otherwise she would not help Li Xuanyue.

"Ahem..." Li Xuanyue cleared her throat and asked awkwardly, "Miss Feng, do you know what kind of woman Shaoqi likes?"

Li Xuanyue felt a little embarrassed. Although she was a woman of the world, she was still shy like a little girl when it came to love.

"I don't know about that. Miss Xuanyue should know that the engagement between Shaoqi and me was just a play agreement between him and my mother when he was a child. He didn't look for me because he liked me, but because he valued his promise and wanted to fulfill the agreement he made at that time." Feng Qingchen was telling Li Xuanyue in a roundabout way that Xuan Shaoqi's feelings for her were not necessarily between a man and a woman.

There is not so much love at first sight in this world.

"Of course I know this. If not, do you think I would let you off easily?" Li Xuanyue's eyes were slightly cold, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

Feng Qingchen stroked his forehead and secretly sighed that Xuan Shaoqi was a male beauty who brought disaster upon himself. He hadn't dealt with Hong Xiu yet, and now here comes Li Xuanyue. These two... what if these two people get into a fight?

Feng Qingchen's eyes lit up. In order to conceal his little calculation, Feng Qingchen raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing an unfathomable smile: "If you want to talk about understanding Shaoqi, I do know someone."

"Who?" Li Xuanyue asked nervously. Feng Qingchen did not keep her in suspense and said directly, "Hongxiu, the maid of Lingtian, the young master of Tianqiong Fort."

"Maid? Just a slave." Li Xuanyue breathed a sigh of relief, with a proud look on her face.

She is the eldest daughter of Xuanyue Palace, yet she is not as good as a little maid.

Feng Qingchen shook her head slowly and said in disagreement, "Miss Xuanyue, don't underestimate a maid. The maids around Young Master Ling are no worse than the young ladies of a big family. They are all pampered with gold and jade. They look almost the same as young ladies of big families, and they are even as arrogant as young ladies of big families."

"No matter how precious she is, she is just a servant. What qualifications does she have to be arrogant?" Although Li Xuanyue said this, she was really concerned about it.

Although she didn't care about the affairs of the martial arts world, she had heard about the two maids around Ling Tian. Each of them was as noble as a young lady and had servants to serve them on weekdays. Such maids were a real threat.

Li Xuanyue still sneered at Feng Qingchen for making a fuss out of nothing, but she took note of the matter in her heart and planned to inquire about it later.

Xuan Shaoqi was hers, and no one could take him away. As for what the young master said about contacting Xuan Shaoqi to inquire about the news of the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen, Li Xuanyue scoffed at it. She didn't want to use the man she loved.

Feng Qingchen was not willing to talk to Li Xuanyue more. Knowing that Li Xuanyue had taken her words to heart, she picked up the book beside her and continued to read. Li Xuanyue felt a little bored sitting there, but she wanted to speak several times, but seeing Feng Qingchen reading seriously, Li Xuanyue did not dare to disturb her at all.

Although Feng Qingchen and Li Xuanyue were cold and aloof, they were still quite friendly. The Ninth Prince and the Xuanyue Palace Master were full of swords and gunpowder, and their exchanges were full of witty remarks.

The Lord of Xuanyue Palace tried to test the Ninth Prince's treatment of Lan Jingyang, while the Ninth Prince tried every means to find out the news about his aunt. Both of them were shrewd people, and during their conversation, they didn't hear a single word of truth except for some unimportant news.

"Ninth Uncle, Liancheng couldn't find you in Dongling Imperial City. Knowing that I was coming to Tianqiong Castle, he asked me to be a lobbyist. I agreed to help only because I saw Liancheng was sincere. Liancheng really wants to make peace with Ninth Uncle, so you can raise any conditions. Within Liancheng's ability, I will definitely meet them." Finally, the Palace Master of Xuanyue couldn't hold it in any longer and stated directly his purpose.

There is no urgent need to get news about my aunt, but every day Lan Jingyang spends in jail is a day more of suffering.

The Ninth Prince raised his eyes, his gaze swept across the Xuanyue Palace Master, and he opened his thin lips slightly, and said slowly and lowly: "This prince is very interested in the aunt that Mr. Jingyang mentioned. Why not let that aunt come and talk to this prince."

Both of them spoke straight to the point. Palace Master Xuan Yue was startled. She looked at the Ninth Prince with her pupils slightly shrunken. She opened her mouth but didn't utter a word for a long time.

Aunt? It turns out that the woman that the Ninth Prince had been asking about was the eldest princess. How did the Ninth Prince know about the existence of the eldest princess? Young Master Jingyang would not be so stupid as to tell anyone about the eldest princess, right?

The Master of Xuan Yue Palace had no idea how much the Ninth Uncle knew, so she could only laugh dryly and play dumb.

The Ninth Prince sneered and did not continue to ask questions. He picked up the teacup beside him and said he was sending the guest away and did not want to talk any more. The Palace Master Xuanyue could not sit still and quickly stood up to leave.

The Ninth Prince did not stay, nor did he stand up to see him off. When the Xuanyue Palace Master walked out of the main gate, the Ninth Prince put down the cup in his hand, stood up and said, "Go, follow him."

In the empty hall, there was a slight movement of air in a corner, and then everything returned to normal.

The Lord of Xuanyue Palace knew that the Ninth Uncle had become suspicious. When he left Qiyun Villa, he tried his best to remain calm. However, once he was out of the door, he could not hold on any longer. He jumped on his horse, raised the whip and rushed towards his residence.

He must tell the eldest princess about this as soon as possible. If the Ninth Prince knows about the eldest princess's existence first, they will be in a passive position.

Ling Mo followed the Xuan Yue Palace Master into a three-story house, and then walked around to an independent small house at the back.

There were guards on all sides outside the hut, and there were no trees or rockery that could provide shelter within thirty meters. Ling Mo took a look in the dark and realized that he could not go forward, nor could he see the other party's lip language.

Helplessly, Ling Mo could only observe in secret.

Inside the house, Palace Master Xuan Yue relayed Uncle Nine's words to the eldest princess verbatim. After hearing this, the eldest princess suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, her hands tensed, her nails digging into her palms.

The princess took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said with a fake smile: "If it's fake, then make it real, and if it's real, then make it fake. Jingyang's move is just the right way to divert the attention of the Ninth Prince, and it will also make it easier for us to find the map of Kyushu in Tianqiong Castle."

No matter how angry she was at Lan Jingyang's incompetence, the eldest princess had to maintain the image of the young master as decent and wise in front of these old people.

Ling Mo waited outside for a quarter of an hour and did not hear a single word of conversation. He only saw Palace Master Xuan Yue walk in with a worried look on his face and walk out with a happy face.

Ling Mo knew without thinking that the Palace Master Xuanyue must have received some instructions, so he followed the Palace Master Xuanyue all the time until the night, when he guessed the general situation from the conversation between the Palace Master Xuanyue and Li Xuanyue...
