Chapter 315 The Last Day
"As the saying goes, good and evil will eventually be rewarded. It seems that these villains are still afraid of the severe punishment of Daxing's law."
Yang Wanli pretended to be emotional on the sidelines.
The three little ones all glared at him, scaring him so much that he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Obviously, both Yang Wanli and County Magistrate Zhang already knew that Mr. Xiong and others died last night.
Today I am waiting for Princess Ankang to see this scene.
"No matter who is behind this, he is quite decisive."
Li Xuan looked at the corpses that had been committed suicide on the ground and couldn't help but think of this.
As a result, these cases will not be settled.
The prisoners are already dead, who else can be sued?
Princess Ankang looked at Yang Wanli and then at County Magistrate Zhang. She really didn't know what to do next.
After Princess Ankang thought for a moment, she finally sighed and said:
"The Chang'an County government prison is so upright that these gangsters repent and reform as soon as they enter, and even commit suicide out of fear of crime."
"It's really amazing."
When County Magistrate Zhang heard this, he smiled and waved his hands:
"Oh, what did your Highness say?"
"I am merely performing my duty as the magistrate of Chang'an County under His Majesty's wise leadership."
"How dare you take credit, how dare you take credit!"
Although Magistrate Zhang said this, his expression was enough to prove how proud he was.
"Okay, I will take note of such a good official as Magistrate Zhang."
Princess Ankang was granted residence in Jingyang Palace. Although Jingyang Palace was a cold palace, there was no problem for her to call herself her own palace.
Magistrate Zhang just smiled and said nothing.
Obviously, he didn't take Princess Ankang's words to heart.
People like Yang Wanli may not know, but as one of the two county magistrates in the capital, how could Magistrate Zhang not know Princess Ankang's status in the palace.
It is already known to everyone that this sick princess has lived in the cold palace for a long time and is not favored by the Holy One.
Therefore, Magistrate Zhang didn't care about Princess Ankang's threat at all.
In his opinion, Princess Ankang has no way to deal with herself.
Unless she died in her own county government office and allowed herself to be blamed, there was no way to deal with her.
This is also the reason why Magistrate Zhang is such an old god.
Princess Ankang also knew that there was really nothing she could do against County Magistrate Zhang officially.
Moreover, now that Mr. Xiong and others are dead, and there is no evidence of their death, it is impossible to investigate the relationship between the Money Gang and the Chang'an County Government.
This is their territory, and it is impossible for them to provide clues to Princess Ankang themselves.
Princess Ankang took one last look at Magistrate Zhang, memorized his appearance, and then left.
"Your Highness, walk slowly."
"I'm busy with official duties, so I'll send you off not far away."
Magistrate Zhang bowed behind Princess Ankang, and the proud look on his face that he had endured for a long time could no longer be hidden.
Before leaving, Yang Wanli and Magistrate Zhang looked at each other and shared a tacit smile.
The two nodded slightly and then said goodbye.
Without Princess Ankang's order, Xu Lang did not lift Yang Wanli's imprisonment and escorted him out of the county government office.
After Princess Ankang left the county office, she angrily slapped the armrest of her wheelchair and said angrily:
"These bastards!"
Princess Ankang turned to look at Yang Wanli, then pointed at him and said:
"You're not a good person either!"
Princess Ankang felt that Yang Wanli must have known that Master Xiong and others had been silenced before he came to follow them today.
For these people, this is the least expensive and most efficient way.
It only takes a few lives of low-level gang members to completely stop Princess Ankang from finding trouble.
Yang Wanli couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart when he saw Princess Ankang angry but unable to do anything about them.
But the next moment, Princess Ankang pointed at Yang Wanli and said to him:
"Lead the way, I'm going to kill the Money Gang!"
Yang Wanli couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking that he heard wrongly.
"Still leading the way!"
Princess Ankang glared and winked at Xu Lang.
Xu Lang understood immediately and wanted to use methods against Yang Wanli again.
Yang Wanli was shocked and quickly persuaded:
"Your Highness, this is wrong."
"It's unreasonable and illegal."
"We, the Money Gang, are all law-abiding people. How could you murder our Money Gang for no reason?"
What the hell is power, Yang Wanli finally realized it now.
Seeing that the princess cannot win the lawsuit now, I will directly kill you.
Yang Wanli wanted to reason, but where could he go?
Magistrate Zhang had to call Princess Ankang "Your Highness."
Yang Wanli's reporting to the official might be useful, but that would only be after the Money Gang has been bloodbathed.
And she is a princess. She dares to kill the Money Gang. Does the Money Gang dare to touch her?
If Princess Ankang is hurt, there will no longer be a money gang in the world.
Yang Wanli pretended to be a grandson for a long time, but he didn't expect that Princess Ankang would be so unreasonable.
Speaking of which, this is all thanks to two old friends who taught Princess Ankang an important lesson and taught her how to maximize her own advantages.
In the palace, Princess Ankang was timid and lived in a corner of the palace, acting as a silent and transparent person.
Outside the palace, Princess Ankang struck hard, bullied gangsters, and acted like a domineering and unruly little princess.
Under the warm sunshine in broad daylight, Yang Wanli watched Princess Ankang shivering and didn't know how to deal with it.
Although Xu Lang and other big inner masters are strong, the Money Gang is not a soft persimmon.
But if they really fight against the masters of Ouchi and resist Princess Ankang, the Money Gang may really be bloodbathed.
Princess Ankang couldn't help but smile when she saw that Yang Wanli was speechless and not as proud as before.
This sweet and lovely smile looked extremely cold and ruthless in Yang Wanli's eyes.
"I'm tired. Let whoever wants to be the deputy gang leader of this bastard."
At this moment, Yang Wanli just wanted to break the pot.
But at this moment, there was a voice and someone walked towards them.
"Hey, it's quite lively here."
Everyone turned around and looked surprised.
Xu Lang and other eunuchs in colorful clothes all bowed respectfully, and Yang Wanli's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior.
Princess Ankang frowned deeply, gently touched Li Xuan, and said curiously:
"Brother Yonko, why are you here?"
Yes, it was the Fourth Prince Li Yi who appeared in front of everyone.
The fourth prince looked at Princess Ankang’s entourage, and then asked:
"It seems that the Thirteenth Princess has solved the case. Are you just hanging out on the street?"
Princess Ankang did not answer the fourth prince's question immediately. Instead, she looked at the eunuch who was still beside him and was responsible for recording his words and deeds, feeling a little confused.
This proves that the fourth prince has not solved the case yet and has not completed this month's imperial garden trial.
In Princess Ankang's impression, with the fourth prince's abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to solve a case.
In particular, he can also rely on the power of his mother's family outside the palace.
Several thoughts flashed through Princess Ankang's mind, and then she smiled softly and answered the fourth prince's question.
"Yes, brother Yonko."
"It's just that it seems that the Four Emperors haven't solved the case yet?"
The fourth prince smiled sheepishly:
"Hehe, Brother Huang, I am not very talented. How can I be as smart as Sister Huang? I have no clue about the case at hand."
Princess Ankang nodded, but didn't take it to heart. Instead, she comforted:
"There are still two days left today and tomorrow, Brother Four Emperors must work hard."
After Princess Ankang finished speaking, she was about to take the people away, but the fourth prince stopped them.
"Does the Fourth Emperor have anything else to do?"
"Imperial sister, don't blame the imperial brother for being nosy."
The fourth prince said this, making it clear that he wanted to mind his own business.
Princess Ankang waited patiently for what the fourth prince would say.
"I heard before that you seemed to be threatening this brother."
The fourth prince pointed to Yang Wanli who was standing aside.
"Royal sister, I'm not talking about you."
"Although we are the heirs of the royal family, we cannot bully the people at will outside. This will damage the majesty of our father."
"Listen to me, you better not make things difficult for this brother."
As soon as the fourth prince said these words, the three little ones all looked at him, as if they were meeting him for the first time.
The fourth prince smiled and did not feel uncomfortable at all being stared at by them.
"Oh? Does the Fourth Emperor know him?"
Princess Ankang seemed to be just curious about the relationship between the fourth prince and Yang Wanli.
"meet by chance."
The fourth prince replied with a smile.
"So this is ah."
Princess Ankang showed a look of surprise.
Princess Ankang looked at Yang Wanli and found that Yang Wanli was lowering his head and looking at the ground, as if the conversation in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Princess Ankang turned her attention to the fourth prince again and found that the fourth prince was patiently waiting for her answer.
"I see."
Princess Ankang nodded, and then said to Yang Wanli:
"Remember what I said before, Xiaocui is my friend. If anything happens to her and her grandfather, no matter what the price, I will make the Money Gang disappear completely."
Princess Ankang's tone was cold and she said decisively.
The fourth prince couldn't help but take another look at Princess Ankang. It was the first time that he discovered that Princess Ankang actually had such a side.
"It's really not a coincidence."
Looking at Princess Ankang in front of him, the fourth prince thought to himself.
Even he didn't notice it, an excited smile appeared on his face.
"Ankang, what is your ambition?"
The fourth prince asked silently, wanting to see through Princess Ankang.
Yang Wanli did not dare to answer, but lowered his head and bowed his hand to Princess Ankang.
He knew that he had no place to speak here.
Then, Princess Ankang looked at the fourth prince and said to him:
"Brother Four Emperors, I wish you good luck in investigating the case."
"Ankang will leave first."
After saying that, Princess Ankang boarded the carriage with her people and left the place directly.
Yang Wanli, on the other hand, was thrown directly on the spot.
After Princess Ankang left, Yang Wanli endured the pain in his shoulders and came to the fourth prince's side, saluting respectfully:
"Your Highness..."
The fourth prince raised his hand to stop his words, and then ordered:
"According to what Ankang said, don't touch those two people, and even protect them. Don't give Ankang any reason to do anything."
The fourth prince knew that Princess Ankang alone could not reach out of the palace.
But the two chief managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can.
Especially Zhao Feng, I'm afraid he is eager to have such an opportunity.
Yang Wanli nodded, but couldn't help frowning and looking at the person aside who kept recording something.
He didn't understand why the fourth prince had such a person beside him when he said these words to him.
But Yang Wanli didn't dare to inquire about these things at will, he just followed orders.
The fourth prince naturally noticed Yang Wanli's gaze, but he had no intention of explaining.
Unlike the other brothers and sisters, the fourth prince actually doesn't like going out of the palace very much.
He would rather stay in the palace and play with his flowers and plants.
Even if he was taught a lesson by his mother and concubine, it would be better than staying outside the palace.
"Go back, you don't have to worry about your health anymore."
"Remember to keep a low profile these days."
Yang Wanli nodded and replied respectfully:
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the fourth prince gave these instructions, he did not stay here any longer and took the people away directly.
Yang Wanli respectfully sent the fourth prince off where he was. He was relieved when he could no longer see his figure.
At this time, several people gathered around Yang Wanli.
"Deputy Gang Leader, is this okay?"
"That's it for now."
Yang Wanli pressed his sore shoulder and answered casually.
"Then what's next?"
These people are waiting for Yang Wanli to make up his mind.
"Keep a low profile and wait until the gang leader comes back."
"And the little girl and her grandpa from the West Market, keep a close eye on them. I won't let anything happen to them."
"Now if anything goes wrong with these two people, we will be blamed."
When Yang Wanli said this, he couldn't help but sigh.
No matter where you are, the deputy position is always the hardest to get.
Especially during this time, the leader of the Money Gang went south, and Yang Wanli had to take care of all the affairs of the gang.
In the past, he was not responsible for finalizing tasks, but was only responsible for helping with matters assigned.
But now that this responsibility is placed on his shoulders, it also makes him understand that not everyone can be the leader of the gang.
"Hehe, it's been a hard work today, deputy gang leader, and he has to do everything in front of a little girl."
After these people finished talking about their business, they immediately flattered Yang Wanli, pinched his feet and pressed his legs, which was very disrespectful.
…
On the other side, Princess Ankang on the carriage opened the curtain and looked at the scenery on the roadside, looking a little absent-minded.
Both Yu'er and Xiaocui noticed that Princess Ankang was in a bad mood and did not dare to disturb her at will.
Li Xuan didn't care, and huddled in Princess Ankang's arms. From time to time, he used his tail to tease Princess Ankang, and gently scratched her chin and neck.
At the beginning, Princess Ankang tried her best to pretend that she was not disturbed and continued her meditation.
But then the itch became unbearable, so he picked up Li Xuan angrily and held it in front of him.
Li Xuan shyly used his hind legs and tail to cover his belly, and used his charming eyes to constantly break through Princess Ankang's psychological defense.
"Smelly A-Xuan, he just knows how to bully me."
Princess Ankang snorted, then buried her face in Li Xuan's belly, rubbing her back and forth coquettishly.
Li Xuan gently hugged Princess Ankang's head, meowed twice, and then began to purr comfortably.
This sound can make people feel peaceful and soothing.
Li Xuan had practiced Dragon Tiger and Wind Roar before, and he further intensified the snoring, making Princess Ankang's mood slowly recede like a tide.
"After working on it for a long time, it turns out that I am the money gang."
Princess Ankang, who buried her head in the cat's belly, suddenly said this for no reason.
Yu'er and Xiaocui looked at each other, wondering what Princess Ankang meant by this.
However, Li Xuan somewhat understood Princess Ankang's thoughts.
Behind the money gang is probably the royal power.
Even though she has no direct relationship with Princess Ankang, as a member of the royal family, she also has her own responsibilities.
The appearance of the fourth prince can already explain the problem.
Behind the money gang, the fourth prince is exerting his influence, and there are probably many people behind the fourth prince.
It's just that Princess Ankang doesn't understand why these people want to use money to help oppress the people of Daxing like this.
Beautiful clothes, fine food, silk and satin.
He even held them high.
Isn't this enough?
What else do they want from these poor people?
Princess Ankang, who has lived in the cold palace since she was a child, naturally couldn't figure it out even if she thought about it.
She didn't know how her other brothers and sisters, those relatives of the emperor, were enjoying their glory and wealth.
Princess Ankang didn't realize until now that she was the alternative.
But these problems were gradually forgotten by Li Xuan's comfort.
The carriage quickly drove back to the West City, and Xiaocui's grandfather was very happy to see his granddaughter returning safely.
"Xiao Cui, why are you back so soon?"
After Xiaocui's grandfather was happy, he asked worriedly, and couldn't help but look at Princess Ankang's face.
Xiaocui immediately explained what happened in the Chang'an County government office.
When Xiaocui's grandfather learned that Mr. Xiong and others had all died violently in prison, his wrinkled eyes could not help but widen.
"Xiao Cui, do you think Mr. Xiong and the others are dead?"
"That's right, Grandpa." Xiaocui nodded and said seriously: "Master Xiong and the others are dead. I saw it with my own eyes."
Xiao Cui understood that in the face of this fact, her grandfather would be hit even harder than herself.
Xiaocui knew that her grandfather would only be more prejudiced against the Money Gang than she was.
She has only been bullied by the money gang for a few years, while grandpa has been bullied by the money gang his entire life.
Even the death of his parents was related to the Money Gang.
It's just that I was still young at the time and can't remember what happened that year.
Grandpa never mentioned the details of that year and only told Xiao Cui not to ask any more questions.
Only on the anniversary of the death of Xiaocui's parents every year, Xiaocui's grandfather would take Xiaocui to burn paper in front of her parents' graves, and then drink a pot of turbid rice wine in silence.
He drinks a drink and pours a glass to the grave.
This is the only day Xiaocui’s grandfather drinks alcohol every year.
Even during the Chinese New Year, grandpa is reluctant to buy the cheapest rice wine to drink.
But every year on the death anniversary of Xiaocui's parents, Xiaocui's grandfather would buy a pot of rice wine and sprinkle half of it in front of the grave.
After Xiaocui's grandfather heard the news that Master Xiong and others died in prison, he silently sat back at the stall.
His eyes were wide open, as if he was wondering if he had not woken up.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaocui came to her grandfather worriedly, held his hand, and asked nervously.
After a long time, a few drops of tears as turbid as rice wine ran down Grandpa Xiaocui's old face. They didn't even fall to the ground, but were hidden in the crisscrossing wrinkles and disappeared quietly.
"Grandpa, why are you crying?"
Xiao Cui asked in confusion.
It was a good thing that Grandpa Xiong was dead. She didn't understand why Grandpa was crying.
"it's okay no problem."
"Xiao Cui, grandpa is so happy!"
"Hahaha……"
Xiaocui's grandfather smiled and then cried again, crying so hard that he burst into tears.
Xiaocui comforted her grandfather at a loss, not knowing what was wrong with him.
But secretly, Xiaocui was also infected by her grandfather's tears, and started crying too.
The three little ones just watched silently, silently.
Princess Ankang lowered her head, and then whispered to Yu'er:
"let's go."
"Don't you need to say hello to Xiaocui and the others?"
"It doesn't matter, let's say goodbye tomorrow."
Hearing what Princess Ankang said, Yu'er nodded, then pushed the wheelchair and quietly left Xiaocui's stall.
The group of people walked and stopped in the West Market. At Princess Ankang's signal, they came to a pond.
There is a release pond in the West Market. Some people will buy some small fry and then release them into this pond.
In order to pursue more merits, some people will deliberately find some very large fish and then release them.
There was no thought at all about how many small fry the big fish would eat after being put into the release pond.
Princess Ankang did not participate in such activities of releasing animals, but silently looked at the scenery around the release pool.
The release pond is not big, but there are always people coming and going around it.
The West Market is full of merchants traveling around and doing various businesses.
Therefore, things like luck are particularly important to them.
Just spending a few pennies can bring you a good fortune. For these merchants, it is something that they would rather not do.
But Princess Ankang just watched for a while, and saw that the merchant selling released fish fry fished fish in the released pond more than once, and then continued to sell them.
The fry are released, fished out, and then sold and released.
It seems that nothing has changed except that the wallets of merchants selling released fish fry are getting bigger and bigger.
The fry are still the same fry, and the release pond is still the same release pond.
Princess Ankang couldn't help shaking her head and laughing at this funny scene.
After Princess Ankang watched the released fish for a while, she went back to Xingqing Palace to rest early.
After being out of the palace for so many days, she gradually lost the novelty and began to feel tired.
It's no wonder that Princess Ankang's schedule these days is not as regular as before.
Especially when I was in Flower Street, I didn’t sleep well at night because too many things happened.
During the day, all kinds of things happen, and just receiving this information is not a simple matter.
…
After Princess Ankang had a good rest, it was the last day of leaving the palace.
Today is already their seventh day out of the palace, and they will set off back to the palace tomorrow at the latest.
Thinking of this, Princess Ankang suddenly regretted taking a rest so early yesterday.
"Kids will be kids."
Li Xuan looked at Princess Ankang's troubled and regretful look and couldn't help but thought to himself.
"Axuan, we can't be so decadent anymore."
"You must have fun today, have a good time, and have a lot of fun!"
Princess Ankang rubbed Li Xuan excitedly and kept tossing him.
"This little girl has recovered well after taking a good nap."
Li Xuan knew that he was worrying in vain.
Princess Ankang is dressed and ready to go.
But before she got into the wheelchair, she twisted her neck and hips to warm up.
When she was sitting in a wheelchair, Princess Ankang didn't realize that it was so uncomfortable to sit all the time.
When she goes out recently, Princess Ankang has been sitting in a wheelchair, and half of her buttocks are numb from sitting every day.
She used to think that sitting in a wheelchair was quite comfortable and effort-saving, but now she feels uncomfortable no matter how she sits.
Li Xuan watched Princess Ankang reluctantly get into the wheelchair and couldn't help but think:
"We need to quickly find a suitable reason for Ankang to recover, so that she can walk openly in front of others and run and jump."
"I hope Dr. Xue will keep his word when the time comes."
Before, when Li Xuan helped Fang Muyang, he had negotiated terms with Doctor Xue.
Princess Ankang's illness cannot be cured by Mrs. Xue. This is something that has been concluded before.
Otherwise, Dr. Xue would not dare to say that Princess Ankang would not live to be eighteen years old.
But now Li Xuan doesn't need Dr. Xue to actually treat his illness, he just needs him as a superficial reason.
As for how Doctor Xue will compile it at that time, that is his own business, and it is not Li Xuan's turn to worry about it.
Whether there is a sudden breakthrough in medical skills, or a mysterious prescription is obtained by chance.
Anyway, as long as Dr. Xue can take over the responsibility of restoring Princess Ankang to health.
When the time comes, Li Xuan won't be able to control whether anyone troubles him.
These were the conditions agreed upon by Li Xuan when he helped Fang Muyang.
But now.
Princess Ankang, who has no other legitimate reasons, is better off sitting in a wheelchair.
Otherwise, Doctor Xue's firepower would be focused on them if he wanted to help them share the burden.
Moreover, Li Xuan was willing to come to the stage himself and use his auspicious status to obtain more resources and attention for Jingyang Palace.
But he didn't want Princess Ankang to follow him to the stage.
The secret of Princess Ankang's physique should be concealed if possible. Li Xuan hoped to buy Princess Ankang as much time as possible to develop in a low-key manner.
It is not a good thing to let Princess Ankang attract the attention of others too early.
Although Princess Ankang has won several games in the Royal Garden in the past few months.
But as long as the fact that Princess Ankang is still a sick child does not change, not many people will really regard her as a threat. They will only think that she is an eyesore and bad luck.
Therefore, Li Xuan will continue to use Princess Ankang's original non-threatening image to gain more development time when they are still weak.
By the time others feel that Princess Ankang is a real threat, Li Xuan hopes that by that time Jingyang Palace has become a behemoth that no one can touch.
And all of this takes time to build up slowly.
When he left the palace these days, apart from practicing silently, Li Xuan was thinking about these things, and only occasionally participated in eating melons.
It was too difficult to cultivate the yin and yang attributes of Qi at the same time, beyond Li Xuan's imagination.
Even though he had a little help from the power of yin and yang in his body, the progress of the two Qi Sensing Realm techniques was really touching.
After so many days, Li Xuan has not yet reached one-tenth of the progress.
[Yang Deficiency Sensing Qi Method: 9%]
[Yin Weak Qi Gathering Technique: 9%]
The reason why the progress of these two techniques is so slow is that after practicing it once, the progress will only increase by 1%, and if he practices another technique, the progress will go back by 0.5%.
At first, Li Xuan's entry was relatively fast, but now it is getting slower and slower.
The true energy of this Qi-sensing realm is extracted from the essence of his flesh and blood.
The foundation built for each of the previous lower third-level realms was to cultivate the true energy from the physical body.
To put it simply, the Qi Sensing Realm is a process of refining and transforming Qi.
It's just that this process is extremely difficult. In addition, Li Xuan chose to cultivate both yin and yang, which made the difficulty even higher countless times.
For these two Qi-sensing techniques, Li Xuan could only practice them once a day, and his body simply couldn't bear any more.
This was under the premise that Li Xuan was extremely talented and had obtained a trace of yin and yang power in the Sun and Moon Yin and Yang Pond.
If it had been anyone else, his mentality would have collapsed and he would have gone crazy.
"Oh, forget it."
"there's always a solution to any problem."
Li Xuan shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.
Anyway, cultivation has to be done step by step. No matter how far or difficult it is, if he takes one step every day, he will eventually reach the end.
Compared with other warriors, Li Xuan has taken advantage of his talent.
Others can't see the progress bar, so they have no idea how far they are from consummation.
Not to mention the outrageous thing that Li Xuan can improve his progress as long as he practices.
Thinking about it this way, he doesn't have to be so impatient and needs to slow down his mentality.
After reaching the middle third level, cultivation is obviously different from when it was the lower third level.
It is no longer possible to make rapid progress like before.
As Li Xuan's cultivation level gets higher and higher, it is inevitable that the progress of his cultivation will become slower and slower.
While Li Xuan was thinking about these problems, Princess Ankang was already ready to go out.
But when they stepped out of the room, they found that someone was already waiting outside.
"Sister, where are you going to play today?"
Princess Yuanan asked with a smile.
"Yuanan, where have you been for the past two days?"
"I haven't even seen you."
Princess Ankang also smiled and greeted Princess Yuanan.
"I've seen a lot of new and interesting things in the capital these past two days, and I felt a little selfless for a while."
Princess Yuanan also knew that she had been playing a little crazy these two days, so she smiled sheepishly.
Then she continued:
"That's right, sister."
"Do you remember that Lao Ba said before that he would take us to play on the last day?"
"He sent a message yesterday asking us to wait for him today."
Princess Ankang couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard this.
She originally thought that the Eighth Prince was just saying polite words, but she didn't expect that the Eighth Prince actually meant it.
"Sister, do you have any other appointments today?"
Princess Yuanan asked.
Princess Ankang immediately shook her head:
"I was just planning to go out and have some fun."
"By the way, I have to go to the West Market to say goodbye to a friend."
Princess Ankang suddenly remembered that she had not said goodbye to Xiaocui yesterday.
"That shouldn't be a problem. I'll just drop by the West Market later."
"I don't know what Lao Ba has arranged. He promised before that he would take us to interesting places."
Although Princess Yuan'an spoke in a condescending manner and was not very polite, she was already looking forward to the itinerary arranged by the eighth prince.
When it comes to having fun, among the princes and princesses, the eighth prince ranks second, so no one dares to rank first.
The two princesses chatted together for a while, and then the eighth prince arrived.
He has not lived in Xingqing Palace for a single day these past few days, he has been enjoying himself outside.
And at this time, the Eighth Prince no longer had the eunuch responsible for recording his words and deeds. It seemed that he had also solved his case.
"Damn it, old man, you actually solved the case too!"
At this time, Princess Yuanan was accompanied by the eunuch who recorded her words and deeds.
Seeing the Eighth Prince looking relaxed, how could she not be envious of him.
Princess Yuan'an had previously drawn lots in the Imperial Garden for a murder case.
It's just that Princess Yuan'an has no interest in that kind of competition. She has just been having fun these days and has not investigated the case at all.
On the second day after leaving the palace, she made an appointment with Princess Ankang to go to Flower Street in the evening, and she pretended to investigate the case for a day.
But when it comes to investigating cases, the princes and princesses like them are laymen, and if they don't care enough, they have no way to investigate.
Princess Yuan'an originally thought that the eighth prince was just having fun and did not investigate the case at all. However, when she saw that there was only a flower-dressed eunuch beside him, she suddenly felt an inexplicable betrayal.
"Haha, Yuan An, you think I am you."
The Eighth Prince joked.
The Eighth Prince had already expected the result before him.
The Eighth Prince was not surprised that Princess Ankang solved the case.
Princess Ankang has already proven her ability through several competitions before.
Although until now, some people still use the theory of luck to deny Princess Ankang's achievements.
But the Eighth Prince is not one of those idiots.
If they could win like this just by luck, then the other princes and princesses who lost would be nothing more than trash.
The Eighth Prince does not think that he is a waste.
As for Princess Yuanan.
The Eighth Prince had already expected that she would not investigate the case properly.
"Lao Ba, what do you mean!"
Princess Yuanan immediately became furious when she heard that there was something wrong in the eighth prince's words.
She never had a good attitude towards the Eighth Prince.
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you anymore."
"Today is the last day, let's have fun."
"Otherwise, it may not be certain when the next time you leave the palace will be."
The Eighth Prince quickly comforted Princess Yuanan.
"It sounds like you are freer than us."
Princess Yuan'an asked a little unconvinced.
The Eighth Prince just smiled slightly and said:
"My situation is a bit special, you can't learn from it."
The eighth prince did not say much on this topic, but immediately took the two princesses to prepare to go out.
When setting off, Princess Ankang said she was going to the West Market to say goodbye to a friend.
The Eighth Prince looked surprised. He did not expect that Princess Ankang would already have friends outside the palace after being out of the palace for just a few days.
But the Eighth Prince did not refuse Princess Ankang's request to go to the Western Market first.
Their schedule today is not tight, so there is no problem in taking some time.
"Do you need us to wait for you?"
The eighth prince meant to ask Princess Ankang if he and Princess Yuanan needed to avoid her.
In response, Princess Ankang just shook her head:
"Brother Eight Emperors and Yuan An can come with me if they want."
Seeing that Princess Ankang was not shy, the Eighth Prince and Princess Yuanan followed her to the Western Market.
The three princes and princesses traveled together, and the pomp became much grander.
The three carriages lined up one after another, and after leaving Xingqing Palace, they went straight to the West Market.
In the West City, Princess Ankang quickly found Xiaocui.
Today, their stall has a good business, and many people are buying the knots they have knitted.
Seeing Princess Ankang arriving, Xiaocui and Xiaocui's grandfather greeted her warmly.
Although they had just met yesterday, the three little ones all felt that the grandfather and grandson had become a little different.
It seems that after the crying scene yesterday, the grandfather and grandson have undergone some kind of transformation.
"Miss, you are here."
Yesterday at the county government office, although Xiaocui already knew the identity of Princess Ankang, she later continued to address her as Miss at Princess Ankang's request.
If someone were to suddenly call out His Highness in this bustling Western Market, it would probably cause quite a commotion.
When these princes and princesses leave the palace this time, as long as they are not meeting with officials on an official basis, they will be addressed as miss and master to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Princess Ankang also went straight to the point and said to Xiaocui and her grandfather:
"I'm going home tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll come back next time, so I came to say hello to you two."
Xiaocui understood Princess Ankang's intention to return home and couldn't help but look a little disappointed.
She had heard a lot about the palace and knew that it was not a place where one could come and go at will.
Even if Princess Ankang is a princess, she may not be able to go out as conveniently as they do on weekdays.
Xiaocui calmed down her mood, then raised her head and smiled at Princess Ankang, and then said:
"The young lady must take care of her health when she returns home. If she has the opportunity to come to Xishi in the future, she must come and see my grandpa and me."
Princess Ankang nodded and agreed to the matter.
She waved to Xiaocui and asked Xiaocui to come over.
After Xiao Cui came to her, Princess Ankang hugged Xiao Cui gently, and then whispered in her ear:
"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can go to Ping'an Trading Company in Chongde Square and send a message to Manager Shang. I will naturally receive the news then."
Li Xuan told Princess Ankang last night about the matter of Ping An Trading Company.
Ping'an Trading Company was an asset of Emperor Yongyuan, and Manager Shang had passed through here before when he took Li Xuan out of the palace to perform tasks.
It shouldn't be difficult to convey the name of Manager Shang and send a message.
After they returned to the palace, they just asked Manager Shang for help.
Although Xingqing Palace can also be used as a place to deliver news, there is no guarantee that the people there will do their duty, and Princess Ankang has almost no influence there. Even if Xiaocui does pass the news to Xingqing Palace, Princess Ankang It’s hard to say whether I can receive news from Xiaocui.
In general, the power of Jingyang Palace is still too weak.
In the palace, because Li Xuan received some attention, he could now rely on some forces from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
But outside the palace, it was nothing but poverty.
But Li Xuan also knew that these things cannot be rushed.
As long as he has enough patience, Li Xuan believes that with his help, Princess Ankang will one day have power over the world.
By then, Li Xuan can experience what it feels like to walk sideways.
