"Why can Li Meier be favored by the emperor? Why can a prostitute stand above me? I won't accept it! I won't accept it!"

Xiangru saw this and quickly stepped forward to comfort her:

"Miss, please don't be angry. We can't change this kind of thing. You should go to bed early. There are more important things waiting for you to do tomorrow."

Feng Ruoyan seemed not to hear her words and continued to immerse herself in her own thoughts.

She knew that if she wanted to gain power and status, she would have to work harder and pay more price.

And Li Meir is the hurdle she must overcome.

As the night deepened, the lights in Feng Mansion gradually went out.

……

On the other side, inside the Xiao Mansion.

The morning light is rising.

Xiao Qiongzhu yawned lazily, holding the secret letter from Feng Mansion in her hand.

Yun Kaizhou, who was sitting next to her, suddenly whispered in her ear: "Yun Jingxi favored Li Meir last night. Was he poisoned?"

Xiao Qiongzhu glanced at him and muttered in dissatisfaction:

"You're hanging around me all day, don't you have anything else to do?"

Yun Kaizhou curled his lips and retorted:

"Who said it's okay? I was planning to go to the Lu Mansion to collect the money you owe."

After hearing this, Xiao Qiongzhu lazily leaned back on the recliner.

"Then go ahead. I'll take a nap. I'm so sleepy."

Yun Kaizhou looked at her sleepy appearance and shook his head helplessly.

He stood up and said, "Don't go out today. There are people watching outside the mansion."

Xiao Qiongzhu waved her hand casually, signaling him to leave quickly.

She looked at Yun Kaizhou who was nagging.

I laughed secretly in my heart.

This guy is becoming more and more like Mother Wang.

She casually ordered, "Remember to bring back all those shops in Lu Mansion to me."

Yun Kaizhou responded and turned to leave.

Xuan Jiu stood aside, holding a thick stack of papers in his hand. Seeing that Xiao Qiongzhu seemed unwilling to take a closer look, he took the initiative to say:

"Master, some of this information is quite important. Something big is going to happen in Feng Mansion today. The Emperor seems to be very satisfied with Li Mei'er and is planning to make her his consort. The news has spread all over Feng Mansion.

In addition, the emperor has sent people to secretly investigate your relationship with Fanxing Pavilion.

Also, regarding Feng Ruoyan, the maid we bribed discovered that she seemed to want to be the emperor's woman."

Xiao Qiongzhu closed her eyes and rested, with a sneer on her lips.

"Feng Ruoyan is really fanciful. She is not willing to accept being humiliated by the prince and wants to plot against the emperor? How ridiculous. With a natural beauty like Li Mei'er in front of her, which man would be interested in a bland bean sprout like her? He must be a fool."

Xuan Jiu frowned and said, "Master, the most difficult thing right now is that the emperor seems to have doubts about you."

Xiao Qiongzhu waved her hand to signal her to leave, closed her eyes and fell into deep thought.

In a daze, I felt a chill coming over my body.

Those painful memories reappeared before her eyes like a dream, leaving her breathless.

The suppressed pain once again plunged Xiao Qiongzhu into a vortex of hatred, unable to extricate herself.

Suddenly, a faint scent of sandalwood wafted into my nose and low Sanskrit sounds came to my ears.

Xiao Qiongzhu opened her eyes and saw Ji Guiyi standing in front of her. The familiar fragrance and voice relaxed her tense nerves a little.

She looked at Ji Guiyi, and her brows gradually relaxed, as if she had found spiritual sustenance.

Ji Guiyi quietly looked at the little junior sister in front of him, watching her successfully break free from the nightmare.

"Junior sister, why do you have to make yourself so miserable? Just say the word and I can get rid of that person for you immediately."

Xiao Qiongzhu smiled softly: "Brother, I know how to handle revenge."

Ji Guiyi looked at her deeply, then turned and left.

He had already checked out everyone around his junior sister.

He was surprised to find that in such a short period of time, his junior sister had already set up such a big plan.

What shocked him even more was that she actually had an army of more than 10,000 people in her hands, and this army had already been lurking quietly in Shangjing City.

It seems that his senior brother doesn't need any help.

However, the people from Guimen are not so easy to bully.

Although they act in a low-key manner, their strength should not be underestimated.

So, Ji Guiyi found Taoist Master Qingxuan, hoping that he could help prepare some of the necessary things.

Taoist Qingxuan has been busy ever since he was invited by the emperor's men to ask for the golden elixir.

He originally wanted to discuss something with Xiao Qiongzhu, but Yun Kaizhou always refused with various reasons and told him not to disturb her.

Although Taoist Qingxuan was somewhat dissatisfied, he could do nothing about it.

After all, he is just a fake Taoist priest, so what?

However, what he never expected was that when he returned home this time he would actually meet the legendary disciple of Guimen - Ji Guiyi.

He quickly bowed to Ji Guiyi to show his respect.

But Ji Guiyi quickly helped him up and said, "Master, you must not do this. You are the elder of my junior sister, and as her senior brother, I am naturally your junior. I should be the one to pay my respects to you."

Taoist Qingxuan couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.

He originally thought that the people from Guimen were all arrogant and domineering, but he didn't expect Ji Guiyi to be so humble and polite.

"Brother Guiyi, you are too polite. Although I have some skills, I am still far inferior to the Ghost Gate. I wonder what you want from me?"

Actually, it’s nothing. I just saw that the Taoist priest has some skills, and I also want to do some rituals, so I wanted him to help me prepare some things.”

When Taoist Qingxuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He has always been full of admiration and yearning for Guimen. Now that he has the opportunity to serve as a disciple of Guimen, he naturally wants it very much.

"No problem! Just give me a list of what you want and I promise to prepare everything for you. But I just don't know if I can watch while you perform the ritual?"

Ji Guiyi nodded.

"Of course. You can still help me out a bit."

After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Taoist Qingxuan.

Taoist Qingxuan took the list and saw all kinds of strange items on it.

Although he was a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions.

He assured Ji Guiyi: "Then it's settled! I will prepare what you want as soon as possible and come back to you then."

After saying that, he turned around and left the Xiao Mansion.

He took many turns and managed to shake off the pursuer behind him and walked into a hidden little shop.

He closed the door gently, making sure no one could see what was going on inside.

He knew that he had been targeted by the emperor's men.

Not far away, several men in black whispered, "What should we do? We lost them again!"

"You guys continue to walk around here, I will go and report to Eunuch Gao." another man in black ordered.

"Okay." The other men in black responded.
