Chapter 369 Night Scene

"Your Highness, I'll have to ask you to stay in Xingqing Palace for the next few days."

General Manager Shang said with a smile.

"No, thank you for troubling General Manager Shang."

Princess Ankang replied politely.

She didn't expect that she would trouble General Manager Shang to come out in person just to stay for a few days.

"Your Highness is too polite. I am just an idle person."

"I heard that Your Highness needs to leave the palace for a few days, so I volunteered to take on the responsibility of guarding."

"It is Your Highness who does not despise my old arms and legs, which makes me feel relieved."

Princess Ankang waved her hand immediately: "No, no..."

The two of them exchanged some polite words before officially settling down in Xingqing Palace and set up matters for the next few days.

When Princess Ankang lives in Xingqing Palace, she can go out to play, but she needs to ask General Manager Shang for permission, and General Manager Shang will arrange people to perform the guard duties.

Princess Ankang naturally has no objection to these.

She just wants to go out and play.

Moreover, this time, only the three of them lived in Xingqing Palace, which made the place seem more spacious.

The three children moved directly into the best room in Xingqing Palace, and were served by all the servants in Xingqing Palace. They really enjoyed themselves.

Even Yu'er didn't have to work too hard this time, and only needed to order the servants of Xingqing Palace.

Except for Princess Ankang's personal affairs, she didn't have to do anything herself.

"Is Yu'er getting more and more arrogant now?"

Li Xuan nestled in Princess Ankang's arms, watching Yu'er ordering others, and sighed secretly.

This person, as long as he has confidence, his whole spirit will be different.

Since Yu'er started practicing, in addition to his cultivation, the most obvious change is his mental outlook.

In the past, Yu'er would hunch his back wherever he went, speak softly, and try every means to reduce his presence.

After all, their status was awkward before, and being low-key can indeed save a lot of trouble.

But the reason is still because of lack of self-confidence.

There is no confidence to deal with the various conflicts brought by life, especially in this cold and ruthless inner palace.

But now Yu'er is different.

She can naturally order other servants, her words and actions are clean and neat, and there is no fear anymore.

When standing, she also straightens her chest and back, like a spear, firmly guarding Princess Ankang.

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang both feel that Yu'er is now much more arrogant and more attractive than before.

When the three little ones went from the palace to Xingqing Palace, it was already afternoon. When they cleaned up again, the sky darkened.

On the first day, they couldn't go out to play again. They planned to have a good rest today and then make plans tomorrow.

This is the second time for the three little ones to go out of the palace. It's not like before, like a tourist, just visiting those attractions.

They now have some friends in the capital, so this time they can start by visiting friends when they go out of the palace.

"I wonder if Xiao Cui and Doctor Fang are doing well now?"

Before going to sleep, Princess Ankang lay on the bed and thought of the two people who had met when she left the palace last time.

Li Xuan hugged Princess Ankang's head, licked his paws, and licked Princess Ankang's hair.

Hearing her suddenly mention these two people, he also became curious.

"Yes, I don't know if the things at that time could be concluded properly."

Xiao Cui and her grandfather were troubled by the people of the Money Gang at that time. After being met by the three little ones, they played a chivalrous drama.

However, the power of the Money Gang was not small, and there were some special people involved at that time.

"The relationship between the deputy leader of the Money Gang, Yang Wanli, and the fourth prince was unusual."

"I just don't know if it is the royal family or the family of Concubine Zhang who is related to the Money Gang?"

"But I haven't received any news from Xiao Cui during this period. I think the Money Gang is also relatively honest."

Before Princess Ankang returned to the palace last time, she asked Xiao Cui to come to Xingqing Palace for help if she had anything to do, and Zhao Feng would arrange someone to send the news to the palace at that time.

But there has been no movement for this period of time, so there should be no problem.

In this kind of matter, Zhao Feng will never be careless about what he promised.

As for Fang Muyang, the disciple of Doctor Xue, Li Xuan also had a headache.

In order to avenge his beloved woman, Fang Muyang killed two big playboys, one was the son of the Minister of Personnel, and the other was the son of the Minister of Revenue.

Although Xixi's uncle was pushed out to take the blame at that time, it seemed that the case was handled cleanly.

But Fang Muyang was also involved with Hu Yulou's courtesan Ayimu because of revenge.

This courtesan from the Western Regions is not a simple character.

Not to mention that she has a cultivation, she also wants to take Hu Yulou for herself.

Because Fang Muyang owed Ayimu a favor when he was taking revenge, he had to help her do this.

Li Xuan thought about it and shook his head:

"Trouble."

He yawned and planned to go out for a walk later to see what interesting things happened in the capital during this period.

Tonight, Princess Ankang and Yu'er rested in Xingqing Palace, and with General Manager Shang bringing people to protect them, Li Xuan could go out for parkour with peace of mind.

The capital was too big, and although he had left the palace several times, he had only covered a very small area.

One day, he hopes to explore the entire capital completely.

"I haven't been to many places yet."

Midnight watch.

When Princess Ankang was already asleep, Li Xuan crawled out of bed and quietly rolled out the window, intending to explore the capital at night.

When Li Xuan left the room, he did not avoid the colorful eunuch who was responsible for guarding the place. He climbed up the courtyard wall on his own, planning to go for a walk.

"Axuan, it's so late, where are you going?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind Li Xuan.

"Meow?"

Li Xuan turned around in confusion, wondering why Mr. Shang appeared here.

"Is it because the old man is sleepless and unable to sleep?"

Li Xuan guessed.

But the next moment, he was taken to the roof by Manager Shang.

"Since Ah Xuan is so elegant, why not accompany me to enjoy the moon."

Manager Shang said, without waiting for Li Xuan's consent, he directly wrapped Li Xuan with his energy and led him to the roof in a blink of an eye.

But tonight the moon is dark and the wind is high, not to mention the moon, not even the stars can be seen.

If it weren't for the bright lights in the capital at night, I might not even be able to see any light.

Standing on the roof of Xingqing Palace, the two of them glanced at the still bright Fangshi not far away.

Looking in that direction, it should be Dongshi.

The land of flowers and willows is always the busiest place at night.

"Axuan, it seems that you are also very interested in life outside the palace."

After Manager Shang took Li Xuan to the roof, he sat down quietly and enjoyed the night view of the capital.

Li Xuan knew that Manager Shang suddenly came to him, and he probably had something to say, so he also sat down beside him and waited for the rest.

He followed Manager Shang's gaze. Although the night view of the capital was nice, Li Xuan still wanted to go deep into it and experience it himself.

Just the sight from a distance didn't have much appeal to him.

Li Xuan is still more interested in the details that happen to everyone.

"Axuan, what do you think of this capital?"

Manager Shang suddenly asked confusedly.

Li Xuan frowned slightly, but still wrote honestly with his tail:

"It looks pretty good. Although I have encountered some nasties, there are always more beautiful things in such a big city."

"Haha." Manager Shang smiled, perhaps because he didn't expect that Li Xuan's answer was unexpectedly serious.

"You have only been out of the palace a few times, but you have already gained a lot of insights?"

Manager Shang continued with a smile on his face:

"Indeed, as Ah Xuanqi said, there are always more beautiful things."

Seeing that there was nothing more to say after Manager Shang said this, Li Xuan asked impatiently:

"Is there anything else?"

"If I have nothing to do, I'm going to go out for a walk."

Li Xuangang turned around and was about to get off the roof, when the voice of Manager Shang came from behind:

"Axuan, I still don't want to go anywhere tonight."

"Stay by His Highness Ankang's side."

Li Xuan's figure suddenly paused, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Is she in danger?"

He felt that Manager Shang was a little weird tonight, he was taking his time and going around in circles with him.

Li Xuan has never seen Manager Shang have such an attitude.

Obviously, it is probably not a small matter to allow Mr. Shang to do this.

Combined with his remarks about not letting Li Xuan leave now and staying by Princess Ankang's side.

Li Xuan's heart kept sinking.

"Even with your protection, will Ankang still be in danger?"

Li Xuan slowly used his tail to write in mid-air.

If even Manager Shang can't stop him, then who is he?

"There's no need to worry so much. Just be cautious. There's nothing wrong with that."

But Manager Shang's words obviously couldn't make Li Xuan feel relieved.

Moreover, considering the situation of the three little ones at this time, Li Xuan immediately thought of something.

"We came to Xingqing Palace to take refuge?"

Manager Shang sighed, he didn't expect Li Xuan to guess it so quickly.

Seeing that Manager Shang remained silent, Li Xuan knew that his suspicion had been confirmed.

"Is it dangerous for us to stay in the palace?"

"How can this be?"

"If Emperor Yongyuan wants to get rid of us, there is no need to go to great lengths."

"So, who is it..."

Seeing Li Xuan's sudden serious expression, Manager Shang comforted him and said:

"Don't think too much, it's just a precaution."

Li Xuan looked up at Manager Shang.

It should at least be Emperor Yongyuan's intention that Mr. Shang come to protect them.

Li Xuan could only think of one person who could disobey Emperor Yongyuan's wishes in the palace and pose a threat to the three little ones.

"Queen Wu!"

But why?

Li Xuan thought about it, and the only recent change was that Princess Ankang won the autumn hunting competition.

Princess Ankang has won countless competitions in the Royal Garden in the past and has always been safe and sound.

Well, the problem is with the prize this time.

"The renovation of Jingyang Palace makes Empress Wu dissatisfied, even enough for her to threaten Princess Ankang?"

Li Xuan looked at Manager Shang in astonishment, wanting to get his confirmation.

In the short period of time when Manager Shang saw Li Xuan, his expression changed several times. In his eyes, from confusion and confusion at the beginning to shock at the end, he knew that he had already guessed everything.

Li Xuan's intelligence has always pleased Shang Zongguan, but at this moment, he actually hopes that Li Xuan is not so smart.

But as Li Xuan wrote his questions with his tail, Shang Zongguan could no longer pretend to be confused.

"Why did Empress Wu deal with us?"

"Just because of the renovation of Jingyang Palace?"

Seeing that Li Xuan had guessed this, Shang Zongguan could no longer hide it.

He remembered the instructions of Emperor Yongyuan to him before, and just hoped that Li Xuan would not misunderstand.

Shang Zongguan nodded silently at first, and then said:

"That's right."

"Ah Xuan, repairing the palace is not a special thing, but Jingyang Palace is a cold palace."

"This will inevitably make people think that your majesty's attitude towards Jingyang Palace has also been 'repaired'."

Hearing this, Li Xuan finally figured out why the reward for this competition was to repair the palace.

After all, Emperor Yongyuan had never been stingy with the prize for Princess Ankang before.

This sudden change of attitude, although there is a precedent of the eldest prince, still makes Li Xuan feel strange.

Now, after Shang Zongguan’s explanation, everything makes sense.

Emperor Yongyuan’s prize for Princess Ankang not only did not get worse, but became better and better.

Good enough to make others begin to think that Jingyang Palace has become a real threat.

Even attracted Empress Wu’s covetousness, so the three little ones hid outside the palace and were protected by Shang Zongguan himself.

But Li Xuan couldn’t figure it out, could a queen do this?

Emperor Yongyuan is the emperor of Daxing, right?

Shang Zongguan is also an old man, even if Li Xuan didn’t say it, he could see the doubt in his eyes.

Moreover, some things are better not to ask.

Li Xuan is just a cat, but Shang Zongguan is the eunuch in the palace, and some words are disrespectful.

"Ah Xuan, the world is always complicated."

"For example, the grand night scene in front of us cannot be lit by a bright lamp."

Although Shang Zongguan said it tactfully, Li Xuan had already heard the meaning.

Although Emperor Yongyuan was the emperor, he did not have the final say.

Even his daughter's life needed to be saved by means.

Li Xuan had always known that many people in the palace disliked Princess Ankang.

But he did not expect that when Empress Wu only had the intention to take action, Emperor Yongyuan would be so anxious.

"What did this queen rely on?"

But now was not the time to go into the details of this issue.

Li Xuan had more important questions to ask Shang Zongguan.

"So, does Emperor Yongyuan want to protect Princess Ankang?"

The title written by Li Xuan made Shang Zongguan frown unconsciously.

Then, Shang Zongguan saw Li Xuan's tail continue to swing.

"Or in other words, is Ankang still valuable to him?"
