Murong Zhi raised his eyebrows high, his face had a look of disbelief, causing his peach blossom eyes to widen, revealing a somewhat bewitching charm.
He, who was trapped in a dilemma, faced two choices. He could either sell out Feng Yu and Dou Dou, hand them over, and spare himself a year and a half's worth of trouble, or submit to Xuanyuan Zhan's suggestion just now.
He really did not want to involve himself in the conflicts within the imperial court, especially the fight for the throne between the royal family and his brothers. It might not only be the matter of him losing his head, but the entire Mu Rong family and the Flying Hung Pavilion would also suffer.
And Xuanyuan Zhan was very clear of this fact. Murong Zhi immediately guessed that he was forcing his to use the thing he did not want to do the most to force him to hand over Feng Yu and Dou Dou.
Murong Zhi was a little surprised that Xuanyuan Zhan would make such a decision. It seemed that Feng Yu and Dou Dou's departure had made him abnormally angry, and she had even used such a despicable move.
After frowning for a moment, Murong Zhi made up his mind.
"Alright, then I will help Prince Zhan investigate the matter of the princes."
He did not choose to sell out Feng Yu and Dou Dou, and chose the difficult path instead.
When Xuanyuan Zhan was the emperor, if he were to become the emperor, it would be much easier for the common people in the world. He did not want to do business under the nose of the sinister and mean people like the crown prince, and with Xuanyuan Qingtian's suspicious personality, even if he only had that little bit of friendship with Xuanyuan Zhan, he would still be beaten to the bottom, and at that time, the entire clan would be involved.
Xuanyuan Zhan seemed to be surprised that Murong Zhi would make such a choice. Had his plan to force him failed? But now, he wasn't at a disadvantage either.
With a calm expression, Xuanyuan Zhan put down the fragrant tea in his hand and looked at Murong Zhi calmly.
"Pavilion Master Murong has agreed?"
"Yes, I agree. I promise that even if those lords of the Prince's faction look at any concubines, they will also inform the prince. However, it will only be for a period of one and a half years." Murong Zhi said while clenching his teeth. In his heart, he was still rejecting the idea that he was going to be dragged into the dispute of the imperial court.
Seeing his expression, Xuanyuan Zhan immediately approached him again and added another request, "And it's free of charge. This king will not pay you any rewards."
Murong Zhi hissed softly. He obviously did not expect Xuanyuan Zhan to make an even more shameless request, but he endured it.
"Alright." He replied heavily, his eyes staring at Xuanyuan Zhan, seeing if he could still propose such a request.
Xuanyuan Zhan seemed to know that enough was enough and didn't say anything this time, as he stood up.
"Since that's the case, This King will take his leave." Xuanyuan Zhan directly walked out, and looked at his back as he let out a long sigh.
Slightly bowed his head in frustration, his pretty face sagging.
The butler came over and kindly served him a cup of tea.
"Pavilion Master, if you take a sip of tea and calm your mind, wouldn't it mean that Battle Princess would again … Young Master Yu and Little Miss can be sent to another mansion? How about we send it to another village? "
Murong Zhi shook his head and rejected.
"There's no need for now, if we move now, Prince Zhan will notice it. Calm down for a few days."
Murong Zhi knew that Xuanyuan Zhan would still keep a close eye on his every move, and might have left some hidden guard nearby. More importantly, he didn't want to see the look of disdain in Dou Dou's eyes anymore.
He squinted his eyes and thought of something. He instructed the butler in a low voice, "Find someone to buy a house and don't keep it under the Flying Hung Pavilion's door. Bring them to the house in a few days."
When the butler heard it, this was a very good idea, even if Xuanyuan Zhan found them, he would be able to deny that this was not Flying Hung Pavilion's scope of influence. Furthermore, the crown prince was recently looking for Feng Yu, so it was not appropriate for Flying Hung Pavilion to be involved on the surface.
On the other side, Xuanyuan Zhan who had just walked out of Murong Zhi's residence walked onto the horse carriage with a calm expression. Thunder rain immediately appeared and respectfully knelt in front of him.
"My prince, would you like to go to the residence in the outskirts of the Murong House to search for my wife?"
Xuanyuan Zhan frowned slightly, then quickly let go of his brows.
"Bring a few people with you to search, and don't alert the wangfei and Young Prince even if you find them. Send people to pretend to be maids to take good care of them, let them stay in Murong Zhi's territory for a while."
knew that he had always been blaming himself in his heart because Feng Yu had coaxed him away. He was afraid that he did not have the qualifications to continue working for, so he patiently waited for a rare chance to explain the reason why he trusted Xuanyuan Zhan.
"The crown prince has recently sent people to look for Princess Hua-Yang. The crown prince's side concubine and Princess Hua-Yang are on good terms …" It would be safer in Murong Zhi's territory. After all, Murong Zhi's methods are powerful, I'll bring them away when the time comes. "
Lei Yu's face lit up, he immediately bowed towards Xuanyuan Zhan and flew off to receive his orders.
In the mansion located at the outskirts of Murong Zhi city, Feng Yu and Dou Dou snuggled up against a huge laurel tree, facing the huge crescent moon in the sky, eating pastries while admiring the moon.
The moon was a faint golden color, and the phoenix feather felt better than the silver and blue moon, calming her heart.
Having been in this world for six years, her friends and relatives in the modern era didn't know if they were still remembering her.
After slightly sighing, Dou Dou immediately raised his small face to look at him. He tilted his head to look at Feng Yu and pulled on her sleeve.
"Mother, are you tired? If you're tired, let's go back and sleep. Dou Dou, stop admiring the moon."
Feng Yu turned her head and stroked his soft black hair, feeling warm from his consideration.
"Mother isn't tired, she's just looking at the moon and feeling a bit emotional."
"What is mother sighing about?" Dou Dou's little head did not understand her complicated thoughts. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then revealed a surprised and worried expression on his face, "Mother, do you miss Your Highness? Did Dou Dou keep on saying that she doesn't like the Your Highness and that her mother left his side because of Dou Dou? "
Dou Dou lowered his head and said softly.
"Actually, the Your Highness is pretty good to us, if Mother wants to go back, Dou Dou will also follow." Dou Dou said in a low voice, as he pouted his lips, he looked a little forced, but for the sake of his mother, he still chose to endure. "Even if Your Highness were to take over his mother's time with Dou Dou, Dou Dou wouldn't reveal an expression of hate towards Your Highness."
Feng Yu opened her eyes wide. She wanted Xuanyuan Zhan to pui pui, that's impossible. Isn't he showing an expression of disgust towards Xuanyuan Zhan now?
"Dou Dou, what are you thinking about? Mother didn't think about him. He was indeed very good to us, but when he looked at Mother, it was actually through mother that he looked at someone else. He didn't think about me in his heart, do you understand? "
Of course Dou Dou didn't understand his words at all. He blinked his eyes, as if he understood something. Feng Yu touched his face.
"And Xuanyuan Zhan, it's because of your mother's face that he looks at your mother like that." Feng Yu said, "If he felt that his mother wasn't the person he thought she was, he would definitely not be courteous at all."
"Mother is so beautiful, it's only right for a man like Your Highness to like mother. Only a man who doesn't like mother would be blind." Dou Dou said very seriously, "Alright, for the sake of Your Highness not being blind, Dou Dou should hate him less, it's only a little."
Feng Yu laughed softly. Dou Dou's childish words were just too cute, it had always made her mood great.
Feng Yu turned her head to look at the moon in the dark curtain, and her beautiful eyes faintly narrowed. The past flashed in her mind. If she wanted to make a cartoon, then she could use the past as material.
For example, she could describe an ancient woman who had transmigrated to the modern world and encountered all sorts of modern high technology. No one would have thought of this story, so she could use it to comfort her own depression that she couldn't go back.
Furthermore, even if she had the chance to return now, she would not be willing to part with Dou Dou.
reached out his arms to hug Dou Dou, who leaned into her embrace. A gust of night wind blew over, and Dou Dou gently shrank back.
At this moment, a cloak draped over her body, scaring her. She turned around to find that it was a cute maid. This maid looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, and looked to be a cute loli.
When she saw Feng Yu turn around, she opened her eyes in shock and let out a low "Ah!" before immediately kneeling down and admitting her mistake.
"This servant deserves to die. This servant thought that Young Master Yu and little miss had fallen asleep, so I quietly covered you with my cloak.
Feng Yu's heart softened into a mess as she looked at her cute and adorable face, which revealed an expression as if she were sobbing. She used to like to paint cute chicks, and this little maid's face was round and still had baby fat on it. She looked very easy to pinch.
"This servant's name is Xiao Wan, I was just sent by the butler to live with the Young Master Yu and little miss." Xiao Wan timidly looked at Feng Yu, her large eyes secretly checking if Feng Yu was really angry. Realizing that she had a friendly smile on her face, she slightly heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing that she had no way of hiding her innocent face, her sneaky little expression was so adorable that Feng Yu wanted to pinch her.
But she held back and reached out to pat her arm.
"Then Dou Dou and I will be troubling you in the future." After Feng Yu said this, Xiao Wan once again revealed a terrified expression.
"This is what this servant should do. It's late in the night, this servant will accompany Young Master Yu and little miss to bed."
The moon was covered by a large cloud and was getting colder and colder. It was not good for Dou Dou to catch a cold.
Therefore, they followed Xiao Wan into the room. Although Xiao Wan looked like the kind of soft and cute idiot, she was nimble when doing things. She helped them make blankets, get some water for washing up, and even lit up a Spirit Calming Incense before she left.
With this set of movements completed in one go, Feng Yu could only lament at how well-trained Murong Zhi was.
She slept as she hugged Dou Dou, gently patting his back and humming a lullaby. The two quickly entered into their sweet dreams.
Xiao Wan left Feng Yu's and Dou Dou's house and slowly walked along the corridor to a secluded place. She walked to a fake mountain in the garden and said in a low voice to the air, "I have already found the princess and Young Prince, tell Your Highness to be at ease, Xiao Wan will take good care of them."
A deep voice answered her from the other side of the rockery.
"Alright, I'll go back and inform the king right away. Be careful when you're doing anything. The Crown Prince is pressing down on you. Don't let the people from the Crown Prince get close to them."
"Xiao Wan will do as you said, even if I have to risk my life, I will protect the wangfei and the Young Prince."
After Xiao Wan finished speaking, she immediately left, just in case her servants noticed her movements, the person on the other side of the fake mountain slowly walked out, lightly leaped up, and climbed over the top of the wall, disappearing into the darkness.
The moment he leapt onto the wall, the dark clouds dispersed and moonlight illuminated his face. It was actually a thunderstorm.
