Just as Feng Yi expected, Xiao Xian, who was far away in the north, received a secret letter. After learning about the situation in the capital, he went to find Rong Wei.
If it weren't for Rong Yehua, the two of them could be considered to have a mutual understanding.
"King Zhongshan, take a look at this."
Rong Wei took the secret letter from Xiao Xian, his face becoming increasingly grim. "What do you mean by an unknown infectious disease has appeared in the capital?"
"It is said that the second and fourth sons wanted to sabotage the disaster relief efforts."
"The Second and Fourth Princes aren't that foolish, are they?" Rong Wei frowned, his brows furrowed so deeply he could practically pinch a mosquito to death. "If they were sabotaging the relief grain, that would be believable, but creating an infectious disease is completely wrong."
"Xiao Zhao, who had been dormant for a long time, suddenly took action. The Grand Princess personally led people to pick him up from the Grand Prince's Mansion." Xiao Xian's eyes were dim, and he was playing with a blue and white teacup in his hand.
Rongwei's mind raced, "Taji is still in the capital, why hasn't he sent any news?"
This is also something Xiao Xian couldn't understand.
He had indeed had several contacts with the Shadow Pavilion before. It was said that Xiao Zhao was extremely well prepared this time, and no one could enter but not leave.
They even installed bird nets. Once they found anything unusual, they would rather kill the wrong bird than let it go, for fear that someone would spread the news.
Just because of a few contacts, the Shadow Pavilion sent him a message, and even gave him a nice excuse, saying that they didn't want any unrest to happen in the capital.
Only he can solve the difficult dilemma in the capital.
"Prince Chen means that Taji didn't fail to pass on the message, but was robbed?"
If this is true, then the situation in the capital is really not optimistic.
And how did the news about King Chen spread?
Is this news true or false?
For a moment, many questions arose in Rongwei's mind.
"This may require the King of Zhongshan to handle."
Xiao Xian has made his decision.
No matter what purpose the Shadow Pavilion had in delivering the message to him, he was the King of Chen of Dagan, and he would do anything for the stability of Dagan.
"Don't worry, Prince Chen! With me in the North, there will definitely be no chaos."
With so much disaster relief food provided by Qu Li, the north has indeed been completely controlled. However, it is not clear whether the eighth prince has the ability to control the south.
As long as there is no chaos in the north and the south, there will be no trouble when Prince Chen goes to the capital.
"When does Prince Chen plan to return?"
"Tonight."
"Okay, I'll serve tea instead of wine here to practice for King Chen!"
One old and one young, they clinked their teacups and drank the tea in the cups at the same time.
Xiao Xian put down the teacup, his expression solemn: "Thank you, King Zhongshan!"
"I also hope that Prince Chen can protect Ye Hua. After all, she is my only great-granddaughter!"
"Don't worry, King Zhongshan."
Whether he is willing to admit that Rong Yehua is his fiancée or not, he will protect her.
After Xiao Xian left, he quickly assembled his troops, made plans, and left the northern territory of Fanyi late at night.
…
Feng Yi stayed with Qu Li for a while. After she fell asleep, he kissed her forehead and returned to his room.
The next day, Qu Li unexpectedly met the pale-faced Magu on his way to the dining room.
She broke an arm and became even more unpredictable.
Looking at Qu Li's face as white as a peeled egg bathed in the morning sun, she felt a sharp pain in her arm.
Qu Li also saw her, and said to Tian Qing, "Tian Qing, this person must be kind-hearted while alive, otherwise, there will really be retribution."
Tianqing nodded: "I will remember Miss Qu's teachings and will definitely do good deeds."
Magu squeezed her other intact hand, and the finger bones made a "crunching" sound.
"Qu Li!"
A loud roar stung the eardrums.
But there was no fear on Qu Li's face. She just glanced at her lightly, like a noble and cold queen.
Magu shouted sternly, "Da Gan will soon destroy the country!"
"Are you mentally ill, or are you dreaming in broad daylight? What do you mean by telling me whether Dagan will destroy the country?"
Her calm reaction made Magu's heart tighten, and she stared at Qu Li with sinister eyes, "Don't you care about your brother?"
Even though Feng Yi had told Qu Li last night that he had sent people to secretly protect Qu Wenzhao, she still couldn't help but worry.
Magu's mention of Qu Wenzhao at this moment is like pulling out a tiger's whiskers.
Anger burned in Qu Li's eyes. She grabbed a handful of leaves nearby and gathered her internal strength.
The leaves instantly turned into sharp blades and flew towards Magu.
Magu's pupils contracted, and she habitually wanted to raise her right hand, but suddenly remembered that her right arm was broken.
The wound was involved and the blood drained away from her face.
The leaves scraped across her face, leaving tiny cuts that oozed blood.
Magu was enraged, and she was like a mad trapped beast, waving her not-so-flexible left hand, wishing she could chop off Qu Li's head.
Afeng appeared at the right time, used his internal force to wave away the leaves and blocked Magu behind him.
"Miss Qu, Magu is in a very miserable state now. Please don't bear grudges against me!"
Qu Li curled his lips coldly, "I don't want to teach this kind of scum a lesson every time! You'd better keep an eye on her and don't let her bite people like a mad dog again. Next time, it won't be as simple as just an arm."
She was deliberately stabbing Magu's heart.
Magu's chest was heaving with anger. She grabbed Afeng's arm tightly with her left hand and wanted to rush forward.
A Feng said angrily: "Magu, do you know what you are doing?"
"I don't have this arm because of her!"
Magu was on the verge of collapse.
"Afeng, don't you like me? Go kill her!"
The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the only sound was Magu's heart-wrenching roar.
Afeng couldn't bear it any longer and could only press Magu's sleeping point.
He picked up Magu and held her sideways, "Miss Qu, I'm sorry!"
Just as they were about to leave, the high priest and Feng Yi, disguised as Qian Jiuzhao, appeared in front of everyone.
"High Priest, Mr. Qian." Afeng was a little embarrassed.
Qu Li rolled his eyes twice and walked up to the high priest. "High priest, are the people in your house born in the year of the dog?"
The high priest frowned and looked at Qu Li with deep eyes.
"If there's another mad dog that comes out and bites people randomly, I won't beat the dog to look at its owner anymore!"
After that, she said to Tianqing, "Let's go back. Ask the kitchen staff to bring breakfast to my room later."
Looking at Qu Li's receding figure, the high priest cast a cold glance at Magu in Afeng's arms and said, "Send her away."
"High Priest!" A Feng's heart was in a knot. "Magu has followed you for many years and is loyal to you. Now she hasn't recovered from her injuries yet! Can you..."
