He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. This was in the palace again, in full view of everyone, and the third prince was about to be crowned. There was no need to make himself unhappy at this time, so he returned the gift.

He calmed down his emotions and asked slightly politely, "Master Li, do you want to see your father for something important?"

"The third prince is joking. How can a humble minister who does not do his job deserve the word 'sir'? There is nothing important to bother your majesty. I just got a few new paintings and I wanted to ask your majesty to appreciate them."

Li Xiaoji said without blinking an eye, and moved his body so that the third prince could see the thing held by the palace attendant behind him.

"..." The corner of the third prince's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. Shameless people should naturally be blamed, but shameless people can only cause people a headache.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoji smiled even deeper, made a gesture, and took a step sideways, preparing to pass the third prince and go to Emperor Meng's study.

But just when the two were about to pass each other, they suddenly saw a dark shadow flash, and it was the third prince who shot towards Li Xiaoji's face.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoji reacted in time, controlled his body's instincts, and stood motionless, his expression unchanged, with no intention of resisting, and he just looked at the third prince intently.

Things happened so fast that no one could react and could only watch helplessly as the third prince attacked Li Xiaoji for no apparent reason.

However, just when everyone thought they would see Li Xiaoji bleeding and a dispute was inevitable, the moment the third prince's hand came into contact with Li Xiaoji's face, he turned around and slapped him on the shoulder.

Li Xiaoji was in pain, but he just frowned and steadied himself, staring at the third prince with crooked eyebrows.

In the blink of an eye, a bug appeared in the third prince's hand. He smiled and said, "Master Li, there is a bug on your shoulder. It is really annoying, so I will take care of it for you."

Li Xiaoji raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the bug, and then raised her hand towards the third prince and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness. I still have to go find Your Majesty, so I won't bother you further."

After saying this, Li Xiaoji led the palace attendant behind him and walked past the third prince. The third prince raised his eyebrows slightly and squeezed the bug in his hand to death. When he stretched out his hand, a palace attendant came to wipe it clean for him.

He raised his feet and was about to move forward, but the third prince suddenly turned back and looked at Li Xiaoji's back, with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

Sure enough, there was something strange. If Li Xiaoji was just a flattering villain as he appeared to be, how could he have received the palm that contained his inner strength?

Thinking about the reasons why Nan Yi was favored by his father, thinking about Meng Guo's silence in recent years, and the timing of Li Xiaoji's favored appearance at his father's side, the third prince consciously guessed something inside.

If his guess was correct, there was an absolute reason for his father's favor towards Li Xiaoji. He didn't need to mind it, let alone go into it. Sometimes, knowing was better than not knowing.

Shaking his head, the third prince smiled slightly and strode forward. He still had to prepare for the reception of Princess Ran, so there was no time to waste.

The traitorous minister happened to look back, stared at the back of the third prince who suddenly became energetic, and said: "You should have shown your cowardice just now, now the third prince can seize the flaw."

"I just want him to catch it!" Li Xiaoji chuckled, looking confident.

The plan that has been planned for so long is about to be completed, and you have to do something, such as leaving a "tail" to make your motives more convincing when the truth comes out.

The traitorous minister opened his mouth, but just sighed and returned to Li Xiaoji's sea of ​​consciousness.

Before entering the study, Li Xiaoji took the long box for display from the palace attendant behind him and walked in slowly.

Emperor Meng seemed to have just finished playing a game of chess with the third prince. He was still drinking tea with serious intentions. When he saw Li Xiaoji, he showed a rare pleasant look and asked him to come over and sit down.

Li Xiaoji obeyed the instructions, put the box aside casually, and took out a piece of paper from his arms when Emperor Meng wanted to say something.

This was the purpose of his entering the palace this time. It was just to cover up others' eyes and confirm his identity as "Nie Xing", so he just found a random reason.

Emperor Meng made a move, subconsciously put down the tea cup, took the paper, opened it, and frowned instantly, this is...

This is an explosive formula improved by Li Xiaoji. It is more powerful than the one Nan Yi has. It is by far the most powerful explosive in the world.

Once it comes out, it will definitely cause the consequences of destroying the world. Otherwise, the traitor system will not react so much when it sees it.

Li Xiaoji poured another cup of tea for Emperor Meng at the stall where he was stunned, poured another cup for himself, and tasted it leisurely.

The only thing Meng Guo could get used to drinking was the palace's tea, which had a rare and refreshing taste.

While Li Xiaoji was drinking tea, Emperor Meng gradually came back to his senses. He had been exposed to weapon research and development for such a long time, and even if he didn't know how to do it, he could only read it.

The moment he saw the mystery, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide, became uncontrollably excited, and looked at Li Xiaoji in disbelief.

The moment he spoke, his tone was questioning, "When did you complete this? Why didn't I know anything about it? Is it possible that you had planned it before you took it out at this time?"

Emperor Meng knew in his heart that once this explosive improved by Li Xiaoji was successfully developed, it would bring huge benefits to Meng. By then, even Min would no longer have to take it seriously.

While he was amazed by Li Xiaoji's talent, his suspicion also reached its peak, and his murderous intention returned. There was no other way, the timing of Li Xiaoji's offering of this thing was too coincidental.

It's such a coincidence that it's hard not to suspect that Li Xiaoji had figured it out early in the morning or had been informed of the progress in the country of Min, so that he could take it out at the most appropriate time.

Li Xiaoji, who felt Emperor Meng's murderous intent, smiled slightly and neither admitted nor denied it.

He just put down the tea cup and said softly: "Whether or not the ministers have thoughts and what they think are all under His Majesty's control. The ministers on the left and right are still useful to Your Majesty."

"Regardless of intentions, the facts are before our eyes. What your Majesty has in your hands is the biggest bargaining chip for Meng to dominate the world!"

"..." Hearing this, Emperor Meng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He knew himself clearly.

Putting the drawings away, Emperor Meng snorted, his murderous aura gradually subsided, and said: "You are getting more and more courageous, and you dare to act arrogantly in front of me."

Li Xiaoji took advantage of the situation and half-knelt on the ground, making a surrender gesture, but she raised her head to look at Emperor Meng and said: "How can I have the courage to do this? I just rely on His Majesty's wisdom, strength, kindness and tolerance."

Emperor Meng laughed, tapped Li Xiaoji's nose, and said, "You silly monkey!"

Emperor Meng, who did not want to delay the important matter, turned around and handed the drawings dedicated to him by Li Xiaoji to the department specializing in the development of new weapons. From then on, he just waited calmly.

During this period, Li Xiaoji was like a normal person, eating and drinking when he should, and entertaining cats and dogs when he was free. His leisurely appearance made Emperor Meng inexplicably displeased.

But the eldest princess of Ran State happened to be visiting, and Emperor Meng had no energy to take care of Li Xiaoji anymore, and ordered the third prince to entertain the eldest princess.

Before Meng Guo showed his trump card, Meng Guo had to keep a low profile for these people from powerful countries, so as not to let powerful countries see the flaws and ruin the whole chess game due to their carelessness.
