Chapter 369 Night Scene
"Your Highness Princess, I will have to live in Xingqing Palace for a few days in the next few days."
Manager Shang said with a smile.
"No, I'm going to trouble Mr. Shang."
Princess Ankang replied politely.
She also didn't expect that she would go out to stay for a few days and actually go to the trouble of Manager Shang to go out in person.
"Your Highness, you're welcome. This old slave is just an idler."
"I heard that His Highness needed to leave the palace for a few days, so he volunteered himself and took over the responsibility of guard."
"His Highness does not dislike my arms and legs, so I am relieved."
Princess Ankang immediately waved her hand: "Where is it..."
The two of them politely settled in Xingqing Palace and settled down the affairs for the next few days.
When Princess Ankang lives in Xingqing Palace, she can go out to play, but she needs to ask for instructions from Manager Shang, and Manager Shang will arrange personnel to perform guard duties.
Princess Ankang naturally has no objections 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 look empty.
The three little ones checked 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, she just had to call on the servants of Xingqing Palace.
Apart from Princess Ankang's personal matters, she didn't need to do anything else herself.
"Is Yu'er becoming more and more assertive now?"
Li Xuan nestled in Princess Ankang's arms, watching Yu'er ordering the others, and sighed secretly.
As long as this person has confidence, his whole spirit will be different.
Since Yu'er started practicing, apart from her cultivation, her mental outlook has changed the most.
In the past, Yu'er always had a hunched back wherever she went, spoke softly, and tried every means to reduce her sense of existence.
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 handle the various conflicts that life brings, especially in the ruthless Ouchi Palace.
But Yu'er is different now.
She can command other servants naturally, her words and movements are clean and neat, and she no longer shows fear.
When standing, her chest is straight and her back is straight, like a spear, firmly guarding Princess Ankang's side.
Both Li Xuan and Princess Ankang felt that Yu'er was much more airy now than before and looked more attractive.
It was already afternoon when the three little ones made their way from the palace to Xingqing Palace. By the time they finished tidying up, the sky was getting dark.
On the first day, they couldn't go out to play anymore. They planned to take a good rest today and then make plans tomorrow.
This is the second time for the three little ones to leave the palace. It is not like before, like tourists, only visiting those scenic spots.
They now have some friends in the capital, so this time they can start by visiting friends when leaving the palace.
"I wonder if Xiaocui and Doctor Fang are doing well now?"
Before going to bed, Princess Ankang was lying on the bed, thinking of the two people who had formed a bond when she left the palace last time.
Li Xuan held Princess Ankang's head, licked his paws, and then licked Princess Ankang's hair.
Hearing her suddenly mention these two people, he also became curious.
"Yeah, I don't know if things can end well at that time."
Xiaocui and her grandfather were troubled by the money gang, and after being encountered by the three little ones, there was a scene of chivalry and righteousness.
It's just that the money gang was quite powerful, and there were some special people involved in it at the time.
"The relationship between Yang Wanli, the deputy leader of the Money Gang, and the Fourth Prince is unusual."
"I just don't know whether it is the royal family or Concubine Zhang's family that is related to the Money Gang?"
"But I haven't received any news from Xiaocui during this period. I think Qian Gang is relatively honest."
Before Princess Ankang returned to the palace last time, she asked Xiaocui to come to Xingqing Palace for help if she had something to do. Zhao Feng would then arrange for someone to send the news to the palace.
But there has been no movement during this period, so there should be no problem.
In this kind of matter, Zhao Feng would never be careless about what he promised.
As for Fang Muyang, the disciple of Imperial Physician Xue, Li Xuan also had a headache.
In order to avenge the woman he loved, Fang Muyang killed two dandies, one was the son of the Minister of Civil Affairs and the other was the son of the Minister of Hubu.
Although Sissi's uncle was pushed out to take the blame at that time, it seemed that the case was settled cleanly.
But because of revenge, Fang Muyang also got involved with Hu Yulou's oiran Ayimu.
This oiran from the Western Regions is no simple character.
Not to mention his cultivation level, he also wanted to take Hu Yulou as his own.
Fang Muyang owed Ayimu a favor when he was seeking revenge, so he had to help her do this.
Li Xuan thought for a while 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 the Xingqing Palace, and were protected by Manager Shang, so Li Xuan could go out for parkour with peace of mind.
The capital was too big, so although he left the palace several times, he only covered a 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 the 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:
"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 Mr. Shang, but at this time, he wishes Li Xuan wasn't so smart.
But as Li Xuan wrote his questions with his tail, Manager Shang could no longer pretend to be confused.
"Why does Queen Wu want to deal with us?"
"Is it because of the renovation of Jingyang Palace?"
Seeing that Li Xuan had guessed this, Manager Shang could no longer hide it.
He remembered Emperor Yongyuan's previous instructions to him, and just hoped that Li Xuan would not misunderstand.
Manager Shang nodded silently at first, and then said:
"That's right."
"Axuan, repairing the palace is not a special matter, but Jingyang Palace is a cold palace."
"This will inevitably make people wonder whether His Majesty's attitude towards Jingyang Palace has also been 'repaired'."
After hearing these words, Li Xuan finally understood why the reward of this competition was to repair the palace.
After all, Emperor Yongyuan had never been stingy with Princess Ankang's prizes before.
This sudden change of attitude made Li Xuan feel strange even though the eldest prince had learned from his mistakes.
Now, after Manager Shang'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 that others began to feel that Jingyang Palace had become a real threat.
It even attracted the covetousness of Empress Wu, who made the three little ones hide outside the palace and be protected by Manager Shang himself.
But Li Xuan couldn't understand, could a queen achieve this level?
Emperor Yongyuan is the emperor of Daxing, right?
Manager Shang is also a mature man, and even if Li Xuan didn't say anything, he could still see the doubt in his eyes.
Moreover, some things are better not to be asked.
Li Xuan is just a cat, but Manager Shang is the eunuch of the palace, and some of his words are disrespectful.
"Axuan, this world is always complicated."
"For example, the prosperous night scene in front of us cannot be lit up by a bright lamp."
Although Manager Shang said it euphemistically, Li Xuan had already heard the meaning.
Although Emperor Yongyuan was the emperor, he did not have the final say alone.
Even his daughter's life needs to be saved by means.
Li Xuan has always known that many people in the palace dislike Princess Ankang.
But I didn't expect that when Empress Wu just had the intention to take action, she could make Emperor Yongyuan feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
"What does this queen deserve?"
But now is not the time to delve into this issue.
Li Xuan has more important questions to ask Mr. Shang.
"So, does Emperor Yongyuan want to protect Princess Ankang?"
The title written by Li Xuan made Manager Shang frown unconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, Manager Shang saw Li Xuan's tail continue to swing.
"In other words, is Ankang still valuable to him?"
