Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

Xia Yizi changed into casual clothes and took off his official uniform.

The purpose is not to attract attention.

He stood outside the tent of the imperial kitchen with his hands behind his back and smiled helplessly. It was really interesting now. As a father, it was extremely difficult for him to meet Shang Zhiyuan.

The tent curtain was soon lifted, and a feminine man in a eunuch's robe walked out of the tent, clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.

"My Lord, how are you?"

"I wonder what the Minister wants to talk to me about?"

Xiao Liuzi usually served before the emperor and was personally taught by General Lu, so naturally when he met these ministers he was calm and polite, and knew when to act.

"Sir, why are you so polite? I came here so late at night and I am sorry to bother you."

"I brought some small gifts with me, I hope you won't despise them, sir."

After saying that, Xia Yizi took out the yellow oil paper package that he had hidden in his sleeve. He tied a hemp rope on it so that outsiders could see that it was a pastry no matter from the inside or the outside.

But these are indeed pastries without a doubt, except that hidden inside one or two of the pastries is a small gold ingot.

When he came over just now, he just said that he had a distant relative working in the palace. He asked the soldiers to check the cakes in his hand and tasted a few before letting him hand over the paper package.

"You are too polite, my Lord. If you have an urgent matter to ask for, I will go through fire and water for you."

He was too lazy to waste any more words.

It would be fine if he could help out from time to time, it's no big deal, and he can also leave a good impression in front of these ministers.

People in the palace will turn a blind eye to it, but if they form cliques for personal gain, that’s hard to say.

"That's right, Sixth Eunuch. I'm sure you know that my daughter Zhiyuan was chosen by His Highness to be his companion."

"As a subject, I cannot get close to the princess's tent, so I have no way to contact my daughter. There is no parent in this world who doesn't care about their children."

"I hope that if Sixth Eunuch is free, you can tell my daughter that I, as her father, have something to discuss with her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yizi handed over the pastry in his hand.

Xiao Liuzi took a quick look at it and finally took it. He didn't have much money in the palace, but his mother in the mansion had to live under the supervision of his father and his wife.

My godfather said that it’s not that you can’t accept money, but you can’t accept it randomly.

But if he needs money urgently, he won't care about so many things. For example, now is the time when he is short of money.

Although Xiao Liuzi knew that agreeing to Xia Yizi's request would most likely anger the capricious prince, his mother and his brothers and sisters could not wait any longer.

You have to take the risk yourself.

"That's easy to say, but I wonder...when will the Minister be so anxious?"

Hearing the question from the person opposite him, Xia Yizi frowned, knowing that he had come here in such a hurry to ask for help, which was somewhat like seeking medical help from all directions.

But I can't wait any longer.

Your Highness might ask Zhiyuan what she thinks someday. If she rejects Marquis Zhongyong, wouldn’t all your plans and strategies fail?

What's more, if I were to agree, the Emperor would definitely become suspicious, but if Zhiyuan insisted on marrying the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and becoming his wife.

If you say something a little more to please the Emperor, maybe this matter will work.

"Tonight, I know that my unreasonable request does embarrass you, but I can't wait any longer. If it's a few days later, there will be no need to say anything."

It's obvious that it's not as simple as bringing a message.

The Minister must have something urgent to do, which is why he is acting in such a hurry.

"Since I have agreed to the Minister's request, I will do my best to fulfill it."

"I will change my clothes later to get rid of the greasy smell, so that I can meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The feminine man in front of him smiled slightly.

……

"Your Highness, we have already found out the identities of most of the dead in the forest. They all belong to underworld organizations."

"Moreover, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Righteous Alliance. The leader has already responded to all inquiries from the Royal Guards."

The shadow guard knelt on the ground, holding a booklet in both hands and presented it to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Jianghu organization, system, can you check this?"

Xia Zhiyuan decided to search in his mind to see if there was any useful information. Maybe he could even get the system for free.

"Of course, the respected host is looking up the Jianghu structure of this world for you. The search is complete. Where do you want to start?"

Two organizations, the righteous one and the evil one, immediately appeared in his mind.

"The system kindly reminds the host that the relationship between the righteous alliance is relatively complicated and it will take a lot of time to import it. The written information of the Demonic Alliance is relatively limited and can be read quickly."

So far, Xia Zhiyuan is almost certain that these old foxes in the court have not yet dirty their hands.

They all use the connections under their control, and the martial arts sects are the best choice, because these martial arts people have basically cut off contact with their families.

However, this is normal.

After all, after more than ten or twenty years in the court, no one is stupid enough to reveal his identity right away.

Moreover, the war for the succession has not yet reached a fever pitch, and many people are wavering as to who they should join: the prince of Wen, another prince, or now - the powerful princess.

The war for succession is not in vain. If you lose, you will lose your head, your property will be confiscated, and your entire clan will be exterminated.

However, according to the original novel, only a few people achieved complete victory. After all, no one had expected that a down-and-out marquis could ascend to the throne.

But what does it matter?

Now that I have chosen the character I want to conquer, I will definitely help Her Royal Highness the Princess to the end using all my abilities.

"I choose to read the Demonic Alliance—"

The shadow guard just said that the underworld organization that attacked Her Royal Highness the Princess was not a member of the righteous alliance. However, just in case, she also wanted to see the member of the righteous alliance.

Who knows, maybe one of them is a spy?

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

"Okay, the system has received your instructions and is searching for information for you. Among the existing demonic organizations, there are five most powerful sects. However, since you have only reached the first half of the story, the system can only search for two sects that have information targets so far."

"Zhaiyue Tower and Tingxue Pavilion - Zhaiyue Tower is mainly responsible for gathering intelligence in the martial arts world, while Tingxue Pavilion is mainly responsible for on-site killing. Both sects have the following common characteristics: they will take any job as long as there is money."

Nonsense, if there is benevolence, righteousness, and morality, then why are others called evil?
