"Is this something that needs to be noticed?" Ye Qianning seemed very confused.
Sang Yan was stunned: "Don't you need to observe?"
Ye Qianning tilted his head, becoming even more confused.
Sang Yan was even more confused. He knew they were plotting without even observing them?
Seeing that he was silent, Ye Qianning scratched his head and glanced at him strangely, as if he had something to say but was too embarrassed to ask.
Sang Yan was stunned again when he saw that look. After a few moments of silence, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you know they were planning to discuss something together?"
Ye Qianning tutted his words, his eyes becoming even stranger: "Didn't you have any good friends in the palace before?"
"Um?"
"When I was in Nanyuan, I had some very good friends. But one day I suddenly found that they didn't call me when they went to the mountains to pick vegetables and mushrooms, and they even said a lot of bad things about me behind my back. From then on, I learned a lesson." Ye Qianning looked very smart.
Sang Yan also suddenly understood that she regarded the four countries as human beings. Although they were insignificant, the principle was the same.
The child still has the mentality of a child, but his courage is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"You have to be careful in everything you do, otherwise you will be charged if you get cheated." Ye Qianning warned.
"Thank you for your advice." Sang Yan's eyes were full of admiration.
Ye Qianning nodded, quite like a teacher.
I also felt that it was a good thing to come out. The message was delivered and I got so much money for free. Two hundred thousand taels was enough to do a lot of things.
——
Northern Lebanon Embassy.
Xiliuyuan returned to the hall and the shadow guard closed the door.
"Bring it here."
Xiliuyuan said calmly while sitting at the table.
The shadow guard was puzzled: "Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Silver note."
“…”
The shadow guard took out a few silver bills from his arms and handed them to Xiliuyuan.
Xiliuyuan took it, took out one and looked at it carefully, rubbing his fingers on the edge of the banknote. In a blink of an eye, his white fingers were stained with a trace of dust.
"Your Highness, what is this?" The shadow guard was surprised.
The powder on the banknote receded, revealing a row of small characters.
After Xiliuyuan watched it, he moved his hand slightly, and the paper with half of the silver note and half of the font suddenly turned into dust and fell to the ground.
The shadow guard was horrified. When he first received the banknote from Miss Xiang, he almost tore it up on the spot for the sake of the Crown Prince's face...
Thinking about it now, he still feels scared. If he really did that, he would probably lose his head.
I secretly moved my head, it was almost there!
"From now on, whatever is sent out from the General's Mansion must be carefully kept, no matter what it is." Xiliuyuan said lightly.
The shadow guard immediately stiffened: "Yes."
The method of conveying the message to the young lady is really unique. No one can guess the problem with the banknote.
He won’t dare to do it next time!
"Send a message to the imperial sister and tell her that she doesn't need to come to Beili." Xiliuyuan said.
"What about the marriage with Minister Qian?"
"It's just an arranged marriage, don't take it to heart. It's not the right time to get married yet."
"Yes, I will send someone to deliver the message."
Xiliuyuan's eyes fell on the other two silver notes. She seemed to be very short of money.
She was very brave to take such a big risk and hide the person the emperor was looking for simply for money, and of course she had the ability to do it.
I'm afraid that the people of the Beili royal family will be deceived by her appearance.
The little kid is very cunning, is he just after money?
interesting.
The thing Xiyan lacks the most is money. If they can...
Xiliuyuan thought of something and his eyes darkened slightly, a strange look flashing in his dark pupils.
If he was just testing the waters at the banquet, he now felt that if nothing unexpected had happened, it wouldn't be a bad thing to bring back such an interesting thing.
"Your Highness, Princess Dongyi mentioned today that the Sixth Prince's wife has given birth to a child. Do you want to send a message back to inform the Sixth Prince?" asked the shadow guard.
"Send a message back and ask my father to announce the incident of Princess Dongyi to the world, and send someone to Dongyi to verify. If she is a royal heir, she can be enrolled in the royal family and be granted death penalty. If she is not a royal heir, the divorced woman is deliberately causing trouble and has a vicious heart. The King of Dongyi must punish her by drowning her in public as a warning." Xiliuyuan's expression was calm and his words were stern.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
The shadow guard saluted and left the room.
Xiliuyuan lowered his eyes. The hidden things in Dongyi’s banquet were definitely not these.
Dongli has been very well-behaved since entering Kyoto City. They hosted a banquet before leaving. Could it be that they want Beili to take something away?
"Your Highness." Another shadow guard appeared in the room.
"What is it?"
"General Mo secretly hired some assassins, targeting Miss Xiang."
"It's been handled. There's no need to let anyone disturb the general's mansion." Xiliuyuan said coldly.
"Yes." The shadow guard thought for a moment and asked again, "How do you deal with General Mo?"
"Keep him in custody for now, and we'll deal with him when we get back to Xiyan."
"yes."
"Who has been hiding outside the general's mansion recently?" Xiliuyuan asked.
"Eight days ago, there were many royal secret guards hiding around. They disappeared after three days. The general's mansion has been peaceful every day, without any unusual behavior. Now there are quite a lot of guards from the Zhan family and the Qian family. Two days ago, there were quite a lot of guards from the Gu family. Today, several branches of the Gu family gathered at the general's mansion, all wanting to recognize Miss Xiang as their goddaughter, and they were arguing at the door of the general's mansion for this." The shadow guard narrated what happened in the general's mansion one by one.
Xi Liuyuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "What kind of magic does she have that makes so many people gather around her?"
The shadow guard couldn't understand this either. The guards from several families in the general's mansion were guarding the mansion day and night. Any slight movement would be discovered, so they didn't dare to get too close.
Xiliuyuan raised his hand and rubbed his head, still puzzled.
Qian Jia, Qian Fu was a prime minister of his generation. Although he was suspected of treason, he was still somewhat intimidating in the hearts of the people and even in the other three countries.
Although Qian Fanji is a Shangshu, he is also a remarkable figure in secret.
Even if they think the child is cute and deserves some attention, they are paying too much attention to the young lady from the Xiang family.
The Gu family heard that Mr. Gu liked Miss Xiang very much. Since the three generations of the Gu family had not been able to give birth to a girl, it was understandable that he liked a girl.
The Zhan family is even more abnormal. The Zhan family has a daughter, so why would they recognize another family's child as a godparent?
It was outrageous that the godparents and their son were living in the general's mansion, considering the close relationship.
"Send someone to investigate the connection between the Qian, Gu, Zhan and Xiang families, and send someone to Nanyuan at the same time." Xiliuyuan suspected that it was Ye Qianning who brought about the Yin-Yang Mutual Generation, so everyone in Kyoto City was staring at her.
The shadow guard responded respectfully upon hearing this, feeling puzzled. How come even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was interested in the General's Mansion?
"Have you ever seen the Imperial Aunt in the General's Mansion?" Xiliuyuan asked.
“Never.”
"Back off."
"yes."
Xiliuyuan had only seen the imperial aunt in her portrait. He had heard his father talk a lot about her, and had been influenced by her since he was young, so he cared a lot about this imperial relative who his father always missed.
I have been in the general's mansion for more than ten days. It's time to find an opportunity to meet him.
Sang Yan sent Ye Qianning back to the general's mansion, and then hurried to the palace to report the news.
In the imperial study, Emperor Beili lost a lot of weight in the past half month. Because of the disappearance of Xifengying, monks, Taoist priests, sorcerers, fortune tellers, and exorcists were invited into the palace one after another.
The rituals were performed one after another, but there was no news at all.
This made Emperor Beili's temper more and more irritable.
The city gates were opened, and Dongyi happened to host a banquet for the two countries at that time. It was taboo for envoys to meet with each other in private, not to mention that no one from Beili was invited to this banquet.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Li came in, exhausted.
"I'm back. Has there been any unusual movement in the city today?" Emperor Beili asked as usual.
“No.”
"Take people to the city gate to keep an eye on it tomorrow. I don't believe she has the ability to leave the capital." Emperor Beili has always believed that the person is still in Kyoto City.
Xi Fengying's illusion technique is very powerful. Maybe someone will help her hide if they fall into the illusion she created.
"As you wish."
"Eunuch Li, don't let me down." Emperor Beili lowered his eyes.
Eunuch Li knelt down in fear and said, "I dare not."
"Get up."
Eunuch Li got up from the ground trembling. Among the people who served the emperor closely, none of those who were taken out that day had returned except him. One can imagine what happened to them.
He knew in his heart that the emperor kept him because he had seen the woman in the dark room and was still useful to him.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince requests an audience." The guard came in and reported.
"Let him in."
Eunuch Li stood respectfully to the emperor's left.
In a blink of an eye, Sang Yan walked in quickly and saluted: "Greetings, Father."
Emperor Beili waved his hand to signal him to stand up: "How is the matter going?"
"The banquet has ended. I left only after Crown Prince Xiyan and Prince Yu left Xianrenzui."
"What did they talk about when they got together?" asked Emperor Beili.
"They didn't say anything. No, to be more precise, they didn't even have time to say anything before they dispersed. Dongyi has suffered a serious setback this time, and he has also offended the Crown Prince of Xiyan."
"Oh? What's going on?" Emperor Beili was puzzled.
Sang Yan smiled gently: "Father, you must reward Miss Xiang well this time."
"Miss Xiang? Ye Qianning?"
"Yes, if it weren't for her today, I wouldn't have been able to enter the Immortal Drunkenness."
Emperor Beili was even more puzzled: "Why is she involved in this?"
He didn't have a good impression of the fat and deformed kid from the Xiang family. He just felt that he was too difficult and cruel.
"The envoys from Xiyan and Nanyuan had just sat down when Ye Qianning arrived. He had an argument with Princess Dongyi at the entrance of Xianrenzui, and was finally invited upstairs by the young prince of Nanyuan." Sang Yan said lightly.
"The city gates have just been unsealed, and she chose to go to Xianrenzui at this time?" Emperor Beili narrowed his eyes. Was it a coincidence, or intentional?
"The little girl has been bored in the mansion for many days. As soon as the lockdown was lifted, she was eager to go out and relax. It's just the nature of a child."
"I don't think it's that simple." Emperor Beili pondered for a moment.
Eunuch Li bowed and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Miss Xiang going to the Immortal Drunk, it is all my fault for being too nosy."
"you?"
"Yes, I happened to run into Miss Xiang at Nianyunjian when I was patrolling the streets. She was going to buy some pastries, but Nianyunjian was closed. I was so careless as to mention that Xianrenzui wasn't closed, so Miss Xiang turned around and went there. As soon as Miss Xiang left, I heard about the envoy and wanted to warn her, but she had already gone far away." Eunuch Li knelt and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
