After the man in black robes left, Yi Liu and the other young masters knelt on one knee.
"Yunzhi, follow me secretly, and when the time is right, retrieve that evil eye for me."
Yi Liu: "Yes."
A figure vanished, and Jinjiu knelt there, listening to the final command.
"Everyone secretly assisted Yunzhi in obtaining that evil eye."
"yes!"
After Jinjiu left Lingjiu Pavilion, she headed in one direction, and the others followed suit.
"Sect Master."
"That evil eye, doesn't it look perfectly normal?"
The Pavilion Master of Lingjiu Pavilion smiled and said, "How could something requested by the witch of Jinling Kingdom be useless?"
A figure disappeared from the sky above the attic.
"Yuan'er!!! Where did you run off to?! I told you we're going to the capital to find my cousin, why have you disappeared again?"
Looking at the angry Miss Biao, Dai Lingyuan softened his expression and said gently, "I bought a roast chicken."
Huo Yun'er took one look, smelled the fragrance, and smiled, "Then I'll forgive you this time!"
Dai Lingyuan looked at her and said, "Thank you, Miss."
"Let's go! Let's find my cousin!"
Dai Lingyuan: "Okay."
A witch from Jinling Kingdom? It seems I need to discuss this matter thoroughly with Murong Jin.
As for my identity... I'll change it back when I get to the capital.
The young lady mustn't know that the female guard who's always by her side taking care of her is not only a man, but also the leader of the martial arts alliance...
If that's the case, Miss will be scared, won't she?
...
"master."
"What is it?"
Yi Liu told Murong Jin everything, and Murong Jin hummed in agreement, "Continue the pretense."
"Yes, but Master, I met Jinjiu at the Lingjiu Pavilion."
"She has infiltrated the Lingjiu Pavilion."
Yi Liu was taken aback. To enter the Spirit Moxibustion Pavilion, one needed formidable martial arts skills. Otherwise, relying solely on the life-or-death battle for entry into the pavilion, one might be killed before even a few rounds had begun...
Being able to enter the Lingjiu Pavilion shows that Jinjiu's martial arts skills are very impressive.
I was quite surprised.
"By the way, can you still freely enter and leave the Prince's residence? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Yi Liu nodded, "My status in the cabinet is fairly good, after all, I'm someone who's valued and trusted, so no one else dares to do anything to me."
The only difference is that, as the young masters of the Lingjiu Pavilion, they were all infected with Gu worms when they first entered the Lingjiu Pavilion.
If that's the case, then Jinjiu is also...
Yi Liu was a little worried. "Master, isn't Jin Jiu the same as me, with Gu worms in her body?"
Murong Jin nodded, "That's right."
However, seeing the worry on Yi Liu's face, Murong Jin felt that Yi Liu usually didn't interact with anyone much. He was mature and steady, and only Yi Yi and Yi Er could joke around with him.
His sudden display of concern for Jin Jiu, especially since he'd only met her a few times, made her start to think more about romantic relationships...
"We gave her an antidote pill beforehand, so the Gu worms in her body are not poisonous and will not cause any symptoms."
Yi Liu felt relieved, but then his expression changed when he saw the curiosity on Murong Jin's face.
"Well, I was just worried about my colleagues."
Right, why is he so worried about Jinjiu?
It must be his gentlemanly manners that are causing the problem!
Yes, that's correct.
You have to be gentle with girls!
"Yeah?"
Yi Liu's voice was much louder: "Yes."
Then he heard his master's laughter, which made his face turn slightly red.
All right.
It seems I was teased by my master.
"Master, please stop making fun of me. I just think Jin Jiu is very cool. She's so capable as a girl. Doesn't she deserve to be liked?"
Murong Jin: "Okay, go do what Lingjiu Pavilion has assigned you. As for that man in black robes, investigate him thoroughly."
"yes."
………
The Golden Palace.
Seeing the general beside him being even more respectful to His Majesty than before, the Prime Minister felt that the Regent's actions had successfully gained His Majesty's approval.
Moreover, he handed the tiger tally to His Majesty in person. Based on this alone, he was completely convinced that Murong Jin would not plot to usurp the throne.
After the morning court session, the Prince of Zhenbei and the Prime Minister were summoned to the Imperial Study.
"I have questions for you."
The Prince of Zhenbei sat to one side and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
The prime minister stood there and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"Tell me about the Evil Eye and my mother."
Prime Minister: "..."
The Prince of Zhenbei nodded. "Alright, I will tell His Majesty."
The prime minister glared at him, "You refer to yourself as 'your subject' and use the nickname 'this king' instead; this is disrespectful to His Majesty."
The Prince of Zhenbei chuckled, "Old man, what business is it of yours how I am?"
The prime minister was so angry he was practically spitting fire. "You scoundrel, are you plotting something wicked?!"
"Yes, I had a wicked plan!!"
This was the first time Emperor Junlan had seen these two arguing, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Prime Minister, stop talking." The Prime Minister quieted down and then said to Murong Zhi, "Prince Zhenbei..." He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"What kind of title is Prince Zhenbei? Your Majesty's father and I are not related by blood. According to the proper way of addressing people, Your Majesty should call me Imperial Uncle."
Di Junlan: "???"
The prime minister was also completely bewildered.
"This, then what about Uncle Murong?"
The Prince of Zhenbei calmly replied, "Hmm."
He's an expert at cultivating connections.
If the emperor is his nephew, then his daughter will be his brother, and they will be family. He won't target her in the future.
Even if targeted, it's not very deadly.
Li Mingzhong: "Prince Zhenbei!!! What are you doing???"
"None of your business, you old man."
Li Mingzhong: "..." Someone tell him, this guy just went on a trip, where did he learn all these words from?!
Emperor Junlan coughed lightly. "Um, may you tell me about what happened back then?"
Li Mingzhong: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Murong Zhi: "Yes, Your Majesty." He almost called him nephew.
Di Junlan's eyelids twitched. He hadn't known that the Prince of Zhenbei had such a whimsical personality. Fortunately, his brother was different from his father...
When he learned how his mother had come to Da Cheng, Di Junlan showed no surprise.
Judging from the number of beauties in that person's harem, it's clear that he wasn't that serious about relationships.
They either seek thrills or try to win over people from wealthy families.
His mother died in a fire, and now that man is dead too... He's looking for someone to vent his anger on, or rather, to avenge his mother...
It's impossible to say that you're taking your anger out on the people of Dacheng.
The common people of Dacheng are common people, and the emperor of Dacheng is the emperor; they cannot be treated as the same thing.
"I understand."
Seeing the calmness on his face, Li Mingzhong breathed a sigh of relief.
fine.
