Xi Mengyao had long since noticed these small buildings.

However, she only felt that it wasn't a teahouse or restaurant and that there shouldn't be any people who would meddle in other people's business. Thus, she didn't take this matter to heart in the beginning.

However, if one were to look closely, they would be able to see that this building was extremely exquisite, and that there were people within the house. Judging from their clothing and age, one could tell that they weren't some unskilled foppish young master.

Could it be an official?

She thought to herself, but she just couldn't remember who the hell was here.

Since her thoughts had failed, she could only look at those people again. Judging from their calm demeanor, they had always been people within the imperial court.

At this age, why are you still this old official?

These old officials, whether they were civil or military, all had the authority to represent them. However, even if they were dissatisfied with these old idiots, they would still be wary of them during the learning process and wouldn't act according to their temper.

"You all simply do not know, that Crown Princess Jing is an evil spirit! She, she beat me up just to threaten me! "

The maid continued, she did not care about her shame, and pulled up one of her sleeves, revealing her slender wrist.

There were quite a few bruises on her arm.

Moreover, it had been quite some time since he last saw them. There were also some scabs on the other scars, making him look quite terrifying.

Xi Mengyao frowned, she did not say anything.

The head guard shouted loudly, "What!? I really did not expect her to be such a person! "

As he spoke, he pulled the maid up.

When the two of them stood up, they seemed to have said something.

Then, the guard ordered his men to grab her as they prepared to leave.

"Is the act over?" Xi Mengyao clenched her teeth, and could not help but take a step forward.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, she was viciously pulled back!

"Who is it!" Xi Mengyao frowned, she turned and saw Lu Ming standing behind him.

She looked at him quizzically, but didn't dare say anything.

She hadn't forgotten that she had slipped out disguised.

However, she didn't expect Lu Ming to take a step back after seeing her turn around. He cupped his hands and said, "Princess, please do not be in such a hurry."

Hearing that, Xi Mengyao's heart was startled, she frowned, and looked at him from head to toe, no longer trying to hide it, she gritted her teeth and asked: "How did you recognize me?"

She had been wondering why such a person could be recognized every single time!

She was wearing a mask this time.

Lu Ming smiled faintly: "This is simple. Princess doesn't seem to know, ever since you left, this subordinate has followed you."

"You! Are you a peeping Tom! " Hearing that, Xi Mengyao was so surprised that her back broke out in cold sweat.

It had been at least four hours since she left the sect, but she hadn't realized that someone was secretly following her for such a long time.

She turned her head to look at Lu Ming in disbelief, only to see that the person had only smiled slightly, and then, his gaze shifted to the side.

"You knew that he was going to suffer a loss, but you're still here watching?" Xi Mengyao raised her eyebrows.

"Of course not." Lu Ming shook his head. "Only, I can leave, but you absolutely must not stand out."

Xi Mengyao looked at him doubtfully. Lu Ming only raised his head slightly, indicating her to look above.

Of course, Xi Mengyao knew what he was talking about, and could not help but be suspicious, "I'm afraid the background of the person up there is not small. Furthermore, they seem to be very useful to Song Chongjing. "

Lu Ming had already anticipated her question, but he just did not expect her to still be guessing. Furthermore, his guesses were not too far off, with a chuckle, he nodded: "Those people are indeed influential, they are all ancestors of the Emperor."

The senior minister was still alive at this age. Those who remained within the imperial court were all elites among elites.

"So awesome?" Xi Mengyao was in disbelief.

Lu Ming was startled, he raised his head and looked at her: "What did you say?"

It was only then that Xi Mengyao realized she had misspoken. She did not investigate further, and actually spoke her former catchphrase.

She coughed, shook her head, and smiled, "I mean, why are these old officials here? Could it be that they are also interested, and since there's going to be a good show today, they are all busy coming over to take a look? "

Hearing her words, Lu Ming was a little doubtful. Seeing that Xi Mengyao was not looking at him, he knew that Xi Mengyao did not want him to know anything, so he did not ask.

This was still Xi Mengyao's problem.

Right now, the most important thing was.

"Actually, that's not the case. Everyone is here, and it's been a while since the commotion. All the living people have come to take a look."

After saying that, he turned around and pointed at a building that looked like a small pagoda. He said, "This is the personal mansion of the Emperor, the Liu family. The place he is taking is the Chong En Tower he usually meditates in."

"Duke Liu, isn't that an old fool?" Xi Mengyao was a little doubtful.

She had heard of this person before.

It was said that this duke was the most muddleheaded when it came to doing things. Everything he did was muddled, and he never distinguished between good and evil.

Every time someone made a scene, he would always say, "Kindness makes money" whenever he saw one.

However, how many times had he made a fortune … No one knew that ten out of ten matters concerning his mediation would cause both sides to feel aggrieved.

Unexpectedly, after hearing those words, Lu Ming laughed: "You don't understand anymore, this is called trying to make sense of things."

"This prince actually knows what he's thinking. He doesn't want to cause any trouble, so he pretended to be confused and confused." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the top of the tower with admiration.

Xi Mengyao did not know what he meant, but she did not say anything as she listened at the side.

Lu Ming did not hesitate, and began introducing the people in the other building.

"As a high official of the first rank, he was invited by the imperial government to return to his hometown several times. Now, he has been raised by the imperial government as a public official and has no actual authority. However, if he wanted to attend, the imperial government would not shield him."

The emperor was currently not open-minded. The courtiers and officials within the imperial court would not listen to any of his exhortations, and only these old officials made him feel a bit afraid.

"These people had once publicly expressed their support for the prince, but now their positions are ambiguous." As he spoke, he let out a deep sigh and stopped speaking.

However, these were already clear words.

Xi Mengyao laughed: "So it turns out your master had his wings cut off by someone. However, someone as powerful as your Prince would likely be unharmed if he were to pull out a few of them. "

She didn't take it seriously at all.

In fact, these officials seemed to have monstrous authority, but in the end, it was the Emperor who had given them the authority to do so.

If the emperor really was despicable and was unwilling to give them the authority to do so, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble either.
