Chapter 635: Beautiful Fox Demon vs. Unfavored Prince (31)
Lu Cha rarely stopped teasing Na Lan Ji and explained, "This package was given to me by Princess Xi Yan. She was worried that I would be caught by the Imperial Master, so she wanted me to leave the capital."
Nalan Ji asked casually, "Does Princess Xiyan often come to the cold palace?"
"Yeah." Lu Cha got out of bed and opened the lunch box on the table.
"She sent this too."
"She often comes to my place lately, eats with me, or plays with new and interesting things she finds."
Hearing this, Nalan Ji's eyes darkened slightly.
No wonder Yin Lucha hasn't come to see him these days.
When did she and Nalan Xiyan have such a good relationship?
Nalan Ji suddenly felt that the package in his hand was a bit of a hindrance.
In particular, there were a few extra pieces of furniture in the room that were not sent by him.
Nalan Xiyan has reached marriage age and can get married or enter into an arranged marriage.
After the Imperial Master left the capital and Yin Lucha would no longer be in danger, he ordered someone to mention the matter to the Emperor and marry Nalan Xiyan off.
Nalan Ji was thinking about the right person when he suddenly smelled the fragrance of osmanthus.
Lu Cha raised her hand and fed Nalan Ji a piece of osmanthus cake:
"Second Prince, would you like to stay and have breakfast with us?"
Nalan Ji wanted to agree, but when he saw the lunch box that Nalan Xiyan brought, he changed his mind, swallowed the osmanthus cake and said, "I've already had breakfast."
"Tomorrow, you can go to Qingzhu Cottage for dinner."
"Princess Xiyan loves to play tricks on people. If she drugged you one day..."
Nalan Ji deliberately didn't say anything else, only showing a worried look, which made people feel uneasy.
Lu Cha looked at the man acting quietly, but did not expose him.
The little villain is like eating spoiled grapes - full of evil!
—
At the hour of You, the sun sets in the west.
The Tai'an Hall in the imperial palace was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
When Nalan Ji brought Chu Xiang here, many officials had already arrived. They were gathered in groups of two or three to discuss the deeds of Mu Qingrong, the imperial teacher of the current dynasty.
After making sure that no one noticed this, Chu Xiang whispered:
"Master, our men are already lying in ambush all around. They can hold the Imperial Preceptor back at any time, giving Miss Yin a chance to escape."
Before coming to the banquet, Nalan Ji asked Chu Xiang to transfer the secret guards over.
Although the national teacher is proficient in the art of exorcising demons, he himself has never learned martial arts and is equivalent to a weak scholar.
Nalan Ji hummed lightly, and when he saw the man in white walking towards him, he immediately revealed his usual timid look and saluted:
"Nalan Ji greets the Imperial Master."
"No need to be so polite, Second Prince."
Mu Qingrong helped Nalan Ji up with a gentle smile, but her eyes scanned him sharply:
"The Second Prince seems to smell a little strange, but has he come into contact with any strangers recently?"
"There has been unrest in the palace lately."
Hearing the probing tone in Mu Qingrong's words, Nalan Ji pretended to be embarrassed and tugged at his sleeves, avoiding the main point:
"Maybe it's because I've worn this dress for too long..."
"I don't have many changes of clothes. Even if they are worn out, I have no choice but to wear them. I hope that Master Imperial Master will forgive me."
Mu Qingrong frowned slightly, unable to tell for a moment whether Nalan Ji was pretending to be stupid or was really dull.
But at this moment, a refreshing and elegant fragrance of lotus came.
A woman in red came slowly towards them, her face was pretty, and her eyes were full of charm.
"How come Second Prince is walking so fast? I almost couldn't catch up with you."
"I'm afraid of missing the banquet." Nalan Ji followed Lu Cha's words, and his hands hanging in his sleeves circulated his internal energy to prevent Mu Qingrong from suddenly attacking the woman.
Lu Cha walked to Nalan Ji's side, and winked at him from a hidden angle, signaling him not to worry.
Then, he looked at the man standing opposite Nalan Ji.
Different from the honest Nalan Chen and the handsome Nalan Yan, the man has a gentle temperament and is easy to make people like him, but the red spot between his eyebrows adds a touch of evil to his handsome face.
Glancing at the rare black jade accessory on Mu Qingrong's waist, Lu Cha could probably guess—
Male protagonist No. 3 is richer than No. 1!
Lu Cha bowed and saluted: "Your servant Yin Lu Cha greets the Imperial Master."
"Please forgive me, sir. I was not very good-looking and did not recognize you."
"No problem." Mu Qingrong's tone was gentle, but the gaze she cast on Lu Cha was as sharp as a knife, as if she wanted to see through her:
"I remember when I left the palace a month ago, the Second Prince didn't have a maidservant."
"I was sent to the Green Bamboo Cottage a while ago to serve the Second Prince. Naturally, Your Excellency has never seen me before."
Seeing Lu Cha's ambiguous answer, Mu Qingrong smiled meaningfully:
"You, my maidservant, are quite interesting. You even have a lotus fragrance on your body. Are you trying to hide something?"
Almost the moment the woman appeared, he smelled a strong demonic aura.
This is a fox demon.
However, his cultivation is still shallow, and he must have just transformed not long ago.
Facing Mu Qingrong's scrutiny, Lu Cha remained calm and composed: "Perhaps it's because I like to use lotus fragrance, and over time, I have acquired the scent."
Just as Mu Qingrong was about to continue speaking, a graceful voice that belonged only to a young girl suddenly rang out:
"So the Imperial Master was hiding here chatting with someone, and my father lied to me that he wasn't there."
Nalan Xiyan pouted unhappily, and then asked:
"The banquet is about to begin. My Lord, would you like to follow me into the hall?"
Mu Qingrong nodded in agreement and left with Nalan Xiyan.
Mu Qingrong's eyes flashed with interest when she discovered that Nalan Xiyan also had the aura of the fox demon.
interesting.
The Second Prince and the Little Princess obviously knew Yin Lucha's identity and were helping her cover up, but no one told the Emperor.
Could it be that this fox demon used some kind of charm?
Mu Qingrong couldn't help but try it out, but unexpectedly, she didn't find anything abnormal.
Mu Qingrong was a little surprised and planned to observe for a while before deciding whether to take action.
Nalan Ji, who was following at the back, secretly made a gesture to Chu Xiang.
It means to let their people ambush the national teacher.
Mu Qingrong had tested Yin Lucha many times and must have discovered her identity.
This person can no longer stay.
The murderous intent in Nalan Ji's eyes disappeared in an instant.
Compared to Nalan Ji's vigilance, Lu Cha was much more relaxed.
After Nalan Ji took his seat, he took advantage of the remote location and started to secretly eat the fruit on the table without being seen by anyone.
It’s a pity that the little heroine doesn’t like to attend this kind of party.
Otherwise, she could have eaten and chatted with the little heroine.
Lu Cha thought melancholy, and did not forget to give a bunch of grapes to Chu Xiang who was standing beside him.
Let’s eat something together!
Chu Xiang felt extremely complicated as he watched the woman enjoying the fruit with great satisfaction.
Isn't Miss Yin's heart a little too big...
Suddenly, the old emperor's voice came from the first seat of the hall:
"Then please ask the Imperial Master to show me how to find the monster hidden in the crowd."
Nalan Ji, who was sitting in the corner, and Nalan Xiyan, who was sitting next to the old emperor, became nervous at the same time.
Only Lu Cha was eating the apple slowly and leisurely.
Mu Qingrong put down the wine glass and walked to the center of the hall: "Actually, it's very simple to find the monster."
"Whoever this talisman falls in front of is a demon."
As he spoke, Mu Qingrong took out a piece of talisman paper and whispered an obscure incantation.
The talisman paper flew into the air and slowly changed direction under the astonished gaze of everyone.
Lu Cha lightly hooked it with her fingertips.
A ray of silver light, invisible to the naked eye, changed the direction of the talisman paper that was about to fly towards her.
Sensing a strange power, Mu Qingrong quickly made hand gestures and took control of the talisman paper.
But before a moment had passed, the talisman paper changed direction again.
The crowd could not feel the two forces fighting in the hall, they could only see the talisman paper floating in the air flying around slowly.
It was like an invisible thread was pulling the talisman paper.
Mu Qingrong found that the power in the dark was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if playing tricks on him. He couldn't help but look at the corner in the distance.
The woman threw away the apple core in her hand and replaced it with a peach.
Her relaxed posture made Mu Qingrong think for a moment that the person fighting with her was not her.
But she is the only demon in this temple.
Seeing that Mu Qingrong's talisman paper had no effect for a long time, the old emperor could not help but speak:
"National Master, is it because there are no monsters here that the talisman paper won't fall?"
"Your Majesty is absolutely right."
Mu Qingrong had just followed the old emperor's words to ease the deadlock when the talisman paper fell onto the table with a thud.
The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
Mu Qingrong: "......"
This fox demon is quite narrow-minded.
