Who owes whom

  Liu Feiran let out a cold snort and stiffened for a moment before reluctantly nodding, "Since I lost the bet, this time it's as you wish."

  Hua Zi Xuan patted his shoulder with a smile: "Mm, not bad, very good!"

  "I think you two are pretty good too."

  A dark figure appeared outside the window, startling Huazhi and his three companions. Mu Tian'ao had already drawn his sword and was pointing it at the newcomer, but the latter arrived just in time to block the blade.

  "Ah, it's Yuki after all!"

  Xiao Bing's face turned black as soon as he heard this title, and he glared at him with a fierce gaze: "If you think your life is too long and your days are too boring, I don't mind sending you on your way."

  "Stop it, you're kidding me, right? The princess is calling and I'm not supposed to?"

  Xiao Ice-cold snorted, it's all that woman's fault, she's becoming less and less like a princess. She coldly swept her gaze over the two of them, "Speak up, what are you two plotting?"

  "What conspiracy? I'm just catching up with Boss Liu. Besides, Your Highness knows we're acquainted."

  Xiao Bing glared at Liu Feiran with great displeasure: "I want to know who told you to bring the princess to the brothel?"

  "Do you think I'll confess?"

  Xiao Bing didn't get angry, she just crossed her arms and said coolly: "It's fine, the princess has already said you can be let go, but as for your two brothers, it depends on my mood whether I'll deal with them or not!"

  Mu Tian'ao's face turned red with rage: "What do you mean? We clearly agreed... That woman is untrustworthy?"

  "What's wrong with the princess? Didn't she say she would let go of Liu Bang's master?" Zhuge Jingze also quietly appeared, his face as gloomy as Xiao Bing's, both looking very unhappy.

  At dawn and dusk, they both fell asleep, but the two of them couldn't sleep. The Princess Chuyang's fall into a brothel made them feel the severity of the matter, so at this moment, they both hated the person who was behind the scenes.

  Hua Zi glanced at them with disdain and said, "I think you should ask Huang Fu Jing Hao about it. If it wasn't for him, would the princess have appeared so openly?"

  It's better not to mention this. As soon as it was mentioned, the two of them became even more enraged, but based on those few words, they absolutely could not interrogate Huangfu Jinghao.

  。

  Even if he was demoted by the princess to an ordinary soldier, there were still many powers behind him.

  But it can't be left unsaid from now on. They've all put Huangfu Jinghao on the list of suspicious characters.

  "The Black Dragon Society may have killed countless people, but credibility is still important, so you don't need to worry about getting any information from me. Even if it's other members of the Black Dragon Society, betraying clients is equivalent to breaking the rules."

  Huāzi was also keeping silent, both of their identities were similar, what to do in the future could be discussed. But the business that had already been accepted couldn't break the rules.

  That night, Zhuge Jingze was worried and anxious, Xiao Bing also had a heavy heart, but neither of them could get any useful information from Liu Feiran's mouth. Thus, in different rooms, the two imperial consorts who served the same princess lay awake.

  The next day, Chen Xi slept until dawn and woke up naturally. The sun was shining brightly when she got out of bed and said she was hungry.

  After getting familiar with it, the person who came to deliver breakfast surprised her. Seeing Huangfu Jinghao's calm expression made her feel that she needed to work harder, otherwise she would lose out.

  "Princess, this is congee and dim sum bought from a wine house. Have some. After you finish eating, we'll hurry back to Xiccheng."

  "Hmm." Chen Xi didn't want to say anything more to him, picked up the spoon and slowly savored the delicious porridge. It had to be said that this breakfast was very satisfying, fragrant and savory, with meat in the porridge but not greasy, making one's appetite surge.

  After eating two small bowls, she finally put down her bowl with a satisfied expression and looked at Huangfu Jinghao with a gentle gaze, "Thank you, this porridge is delicious."

  "It's fine as long as the princess likes it."

  Her bright smile was like a long silver needle piercing into Huangfu Jinghao's heart, at this moment he felt a sharp pain, as if someone had pricked him with a needle.

  "Alright, now that we've had breakfast, let's get everyone ready. I've already forgotten what Xicheng looks like."

  Huang Pu Jing Hao waved his hand to signal the servants to prepare, and he accompanied her in silence for a long time before finally opening his mouth to ask: "Does the princess blame me?"

  Her gaze lightly swept past him in the morning and evening; if it were her true self, she would definitely forgive him!

  For her, resenting something was too superficial. "Don't blame, you're telling the truth, there's nothing to blame."

  "But I—"

  "Huangfu Gongzi, you are a clever person, no need to say too much."

  Huang Pu Jinghao let out a long sigh in his heart. Ah, he was an intelligent person and she wasn't foolish either. "Princess, after I hand over some matters to Willowspring City, I plan to take a two-month leave of absence to deal with some personal affairs."

  "Alright. Once you return to Xicheng, hand over related matters to Jingze."

  "Huang Pu Jing Hao's gaze paused, 'Princess, you believe him so much?'"

  "Compared to you, it's natural to believe him a bit more."

  "Alright, I understand."

  After that, Huangfu Jinghao didn't say much to Chen Xi again until they returned to Xiccheng after half a day's journey. That night, he had the leading deputy generals meet with Princess Chuyang and then handed over some important matters of Xiccheng to Jingze.

  。

  The next day, Zhuge Jingze found Chenxi with a somewhat gloomy expression and eyes that revealed worry: "Princess, Huangfu Jinghao has left Xiccheng."

  "Uh-huh."

  "Princess, I suspect he is going to enter the palace for an audience."

  "That's his freedom, no need to interfere."

  Zhuge Jingze anxiously looked at her: "Princess, aren't you worried that he'll reveal what happened last night? If the Empress finds out, she'll definitely send someone to reprimand you for being careless. At the same time, she might also punish the people involved and take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate some of your trusted guards."

  "Chen Xi smiled and looked at him: 'Jing Ze, you suspect the Female Emperor?'"

  "Princess, I'm speaking seriously!" Zhuge Jingze was at his wit's end. It's really a case of the emperor not being in a hurry but the eunuch is!

  In the morning and evening, she poured him a cup of tea and personally brought it in front of him with a gentle smile: "Jing Ze, I know what you're worried about. What's meant to come will always come. Isn't there a saying that goes: 'If you want to add crime, how can you worry about not having an excuse?' They want to deal with me, even if they don't have a reason, they'll find some."

  "But the princess entering the brothel is a big deal!"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Princess!"

  Zhuge Jingze sighed, he really didn't understand what she wanted. If she wanted to fight for it, then that thing couldn't be spread out, otherwise, how could she rise up?

  If you want to move up, you have to put in some effort!

  In the morning and evening, looking at the scenery outside the window, Xi City is actually very beautiful, especially when the sunset fills the sky, it gives people an extremely mysterious feeling. She fell in love with this place as soon as she entered the city yesterday, the scenery is beautiful, surrounded by mountains and water.

  Even if it's just living, it's a kind of enjoyment. The Chiyang Princess Mansion is located on the beautiful shores of Xiccheng Lake, and the mansion is a specially built elegant courtyard, with a unique and beautiful five-story pagoda as its residence.

  Standing on the fifth floor corridor, you can see the gate of Xiccheng.

  "Jing Ze, look, Huangfu Jinghao is just leaving the city gate, and he's heading straight for the capital."

  Zhuge Jingze was shocked and followed the gaze of Chenxi, suddenly feeling a chill in his heart. Was he really going to harm the princess?

  "Jing Ze, it's fine if he leaves, he and I will be taking a two-month leave, during which we need to subdue as many of the 100,000 elite soldiers as possible."

  "Ah?" Zhuge Jingze suddenly revealed a look of wild joy, staring at her intently: "Princess, is this true?"

  "If nature doesn't bring me some benefit, why should I follow its will?"

  Zhuge Jingze suddenly felt his ambition soaring, and his hot blood was boiling up!
