Qu Jingxi did not urge her or express his dissatisfaction this time, and just stood quietly by the side watching her.

"It's a bit cold, let's go back first."

Although it was hidden in the depths of her eyes, Qu Jingxi could still see it clearly.

"Mm. Alright."

Qu Jingxi very naturally brought her to the Creek Dance Pavilion, and towards the matter just now, the two of them had a very tacit understanding not to mention anything.

"First, let them take you to bathe and rest. This King still has some matters to take care of in the study."

In the room, Qu Jingxi helped her sit down, and it seemed that Feng Xiwu was already used to Prince Jing taking all kinds of care from her.

He poured her a cup of tea, pushed open the door, and gave all the orders to the three servant girl s. Only then did he feel at ease to leave.

"How is it?"

When Qu Jingxi entered the study room, he saw Zhu Qi waiting for him.

It was probably due to the fact that he had to report the news right after he came back. The uncombed Zhu Qi no longer looked as warm as he usually did, and there was still the feeling of being in the martial arts world.

Qu Jingxi who was used to these things did not really care about it.

"This subordinate has already seen the Dark Guard at the side of Young Master Gu and the wangfei. That Dark Guard is in the midst of treatment after being injured and is safe and sound, as lively as ever."

Zhu Qi briefly described the information he had received.

"It's just a den of bandits, with his abilities, nothing will happen. As for Princess Hua-Yang's Dark Guard, send some people to keep an eye on him. Don't let anything happen to him."

Qu Jingxi could not be clearer about Gu Xiao's playfulness. He had deeply understood this point from that day onwards.

Hearing what Zhu Qi had said just now, it should just be a bandit group of lackeys who had some skills and no skills, nothing more than a nest of bandits.

Gu Xiao didn't even need to use any weapons to deal with them, he could just rely on his blabbering mouth and stomach full of useless things to escape.

It was probably because he brought along the injured Dark Guard. Considering that it would affect his injuries and make it inconvenient for him to mess around, that was why he was obediently locked up in the woodshed. Qu Jingxi guessed as a matter of fact.

Although Gu Xiao didn't seem to be serious.

He was a loyal person, and would not abandon his friends in times of danger.

Qu Jingxi was still thinking, when Zhu Qi, who was reporting on the situation at the side, paused, as if he had encountered something that he did not know whether or not he should tell.

"After following This King for so long, don't you know This King's temper? Just say it. "

Receiving the order, Zhu Qi's heart became resolute.

"It's the empress."

Empress? Qu Jingxi squinted his eyes dangerously. Wasn't she being grounded? He hadn't even forgotten to stir up trouble during the period of confinement. It seemed like the lesson he had taught her last time was still too light.

Thinking about how that woman dared to play tricks on Feng Xiwu in front of him previously, Prince Jing felt extremely dissatisfied.

He was somewhat regretful that he had not allowed that woman to sit in the position of Empress until now.

"Although the empress has been grounded, her power within the palace has not decreased," Zhu Qi said as he paused.

"She still has the people from the Lu family under her control. Also, Princess Chuxue was kneeling in front of the Cheng Ming Palace this afternoon, begging the Emperor to send troops to save Godly Doctor Gu."

Zhu Qi looked at his own prince. His highness didn't like this empress, he knew that.

On the desk behind the screen, two candlelight flames were emitting a red glow, swaying tenaciously in the cold wind coming in and out of the door.

Feng Xiwu had just finished showering and was only wearing a thin veil. The part under her hair was still wet.

Zi Lan used a dry towel to help her wipe her back.

Looking at the letter in his hand, some words that were filled with energy wrote something down, Feng Xiwu's eyebrows curved up.
