Chapter 384 So Sensitive?

At dusk, the three children got on the carriage and left the palace.

It was Shang who drove for them.

However, on the way back, the atmosphere in the carriage was inevitably a bit dull.

"Ah Xuan, why did you delay for so long?"

"What did you talk about with your father?"

Princess Ankang asked curiously.

She thought that she might be able to meet Emperor Yongyuan when she came to Ganlu Palace this time, but she didn't even meet him and waited in a side hall for a whole day.

When someone came to inform them, it was time to leave.

To be honest, Princess Ankang was naturally disappointed, but she buried this disappointment in her heart.

Li Xuan looked at Princess Ankang and then at Yu'er. Seeing that they were all looking at him with a worried look, they didn't know how to start.

"How should I tell these two girls about what happened today?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but get tangled up.

But some things always have to be faced, and Li Xuan is now unable to protect the two girls safely under his wings.

Under such circumstances, Princess Ankang and Yu'er could only be forced to follow Li Xuan and keep pushing forward, growing up together.

Li Xuan pondered for a while, and then silently wrote in front of the two maids.

He told the story of Emperor Yongyuan looking for him today, as well as the information he got about the current court.

Only about Concubine Xiao, Li Xuan concealed it.

He felt that it was not the time to bring up this matter now, and it would not be too late to find a suitable opportunity in the future.

Li Xuan secretly glanced at Princess Ankang, who was staring at the tip of Li Xuan's tail seriously at this time, fearing that she would miss any word.

"Let's talk about it later."

Li Xuan sighed secretly, focusing only on telling the current situation.

After a long time, seeing that the tip of Li Xuan's tail finally stopped, the two maids looked at each other in a daze, and they were speechless for a while.

At this time, the carriage slowly stopped, and the voice of Shang Zongguan came from outside.

"Your Highness, we are here."

In Li Xuan's narration, the return journey seemed particularly short.

The three little ones thought they had just sat in the carriage, but now they have returned to Xingqing Palace.

Li Xuan silently gave Princess Ankang and Yu'er a look, indicating that they should stay calm and talk about it later.

The two girls immediately tidied their appearance and rubbed their cheeks to make their expressions look more natural.

After returning to Xingqing Palace and having dinner early, the three little ones quickly hid in their rooms.

Shang Zongguan looked at this scene and just smiled, without saying much.

Back in the room where only the three little ones were, Princess Ankang and Yu'er also fell silent, not knowing what to say.

According to what Li Xuan had said to them before, their current situation is not much better.

"Your Highness..."

Yu'er called out with concern.

But Princess Ankang shook her head, put her index finger on her red lips, and then went to the side to get a brush, dipped it in water, and wrote on the table.

"Let's write and communicate next."

"After all, these words can't be spoken casually."

On the way back, Li Xuan told them the most shocking content, which was that King Zheng was actually plotting a rebellion.

Even Princess Ankang, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, had heard of King Zheng's name, but others always praised King Zheng, and no one had ever linked him with a traitor.

After Princess Ankang handed a brush to Li Xuan and Yu'er respectively, she continued to write on the table:

"Ah Xuan, what do you think we should do?"

Although Li Xuan was the youngest among the three little ones and was still a cat, they had long been accustomed to treating Li Xuan as the backbone.

The head of the small family in Jingyang Palace had already quietly become Li Xuan.

Li Xuan wrapped the brush with his tail and then wrote down his thoughts.

"Prince Zheng has the upper hand, he doesn't need us."

"Empress Wu wants Princess Yan Zhao to ascend the throne, so she can't tolerate us."

"Although Emperor Yongyuan is the weakest, he needs us the most."

"And he is your father after all, at least he has no reason to harm you."

Li Xuan said, looking up at Princess Ankang, wanting to see what she thought.

If Princess Ankang has other ideas, Li Xuan is willing to listen to her opinions.

After all, Li Xuan has no way to make decisions for Princess Ankang on these matters.

Princess Ankang lowered her eyes, thought quietly for a moment, then nodded, leaving a string of water stains on the table with a brush.

"Ah Xuan, you are right."

"The only person we can rely on now is our father."

After a pause, Princess Ankang's expression became a little helpless, and another line of handwriting appeared on the table.

"But what can the three of us do?"

"Except that the Yin-Yang Qi you cultivated seems to be related to the fate of the country, we don't seem to have the ability to influence this chess game."

Princess Ankang was telling the truth. In this chess game that concerns the situation of the world, the three of them tied together can only be barely regarded as a chess piece.

And it is estimated that they will have to be placed in a corner, not conspicuous at all.

"In the next period of time, Ankang, you and Yu'er should practice well."

When writing this sentence, Li Xuan seemed to understand what Shang Zongguan felt when he advised him to concentrate on practicing.

Although the Yin and Yang Qi in Li Xuan's body is important, his strength is not enough to control the situation. In addition to doing the current work well, there is really no other choice.

"During this time outside the palace, I will try to contact some other forces."

"When the worst situation comes, perhaps we can still leave a way out."

After writing, Li Xuan felt that these two sentences were too depressing, and immediately added:

"But we don't have to worry too much. Emperor Yongyuan and the stewards are not stupid. Since they dare to challenge King Zheng, they naturally have their own confidence."

Princess Ankang and Yu'er nodded silently, but Li Xuan didn't know how much comfort this sentence had.

After explaining to the two maids what happened in Ganlu Palace today and discussing the future plan, Li Xuan asked them to stay in Xingqing Palace honestly, and he sneaked out again.

Just as he said before, he had to find a way out for them.

Moreover, what happened today also made Li Xuan understand that no one was going to attack Princess Ankang.

It was the steward Shang who told Li Xuan that Empress Wu wanted to threaten Princess Ankang.

Li Xuan believed that the news was probably being spread in the palace now.

It didn't matter which side spread it earlier.

Emperor Yongyuan got the result he wanted.

Perhaps he was used to being in a weak position, so Emperor Yongyuan always used all means to gain advantages for himself to increase his chances of winning.

"Hmph, these methods are quite good."

Li Xuan stepped on the wall of Xingqing Palace, snorted coldly in the direction of the palace, and then jumped into the deep night in the capital.

...

"Your Highness, Ah Xuan is out."

Yu'er closed the window that had been opened, and then said to Princess Ankang.

"Well, sister Yu'er, did we bring out the chessboard?"

"Anyway, I'm not sleepy now, why don't we practice chess?"

This time when they left the palace, they also brought out the special chessboard for practicing the stone-slinging method. After all, this was one of their few pastimes.

Now, the pressure from the outside world has made them more urgent, and they dare not relax at all.

…

On the other side, after Li Xuan left Xingqing Palace, he went straight to Hu Yulou.

In his memory, a few days ago was the day when Hu Yulou was originally going to be auctioned.

After Li Xuan handed over the house deed and land deed of Hu Yulou to Ayimu, he didn't know whether she had handled Hu Yulou's affairs.

And tonight, Li Xuan went to find Ayimu to test the power behind Ayimu.

If there is enough strength, maybe it will become a retreat for the three of them in the future.

But trust needs to be accumulated slowly, and Li Xuan can only walk around more to see if there is a place where they can help each other.

Li Xuan climbed to the roof of Hu Yulou in a familiar way. The business here seems to be good today, and it is particularly lively below.

But he didn't come to see Hu Ji dancing today, but he had something to do.

Li Xuan walked quietly on the tiles on the roof, and was about to climb in through the window, but he heard the sound of conversation in the room under his feet.

Listening, it seems that Ayimu is talking to a man.

Li Xuan can judge from the sound that the man is not Fang Muyang.

"Oh, I haven't seen Ayimu receiving customers. It seems that she is open today."

Li Xuan planned to wait on the roof for a while before going down based on the principle of not disturbing others' work.

But as the conversation between the two continued to reach Li Xuan's ears, he gradually became uneasy.

"Ayimu, you are too impulsive."

The man sighed, and you could hear full of regret just by listening to his voice.

"I believe in my judgment, and you just need to trust me."

Ayimu replied lazily.

"This is not just your business. If you are eliminated, other people who bet on you will be implicated!" the man shouted.

"I didn't force you to bet on me."

Just by listening to the voice, Li Xuan could imagine Ayimu's expression when she said this.

Ayimu is usually very frivolous, which is completely in line with her identity as a courtesan.

But only when facing Li Xuan, Ayimu's attitude will turn 180 degrees. While being serious, she is also extremely respectful to Li Xuan.

This contrast has made it difficult for Li Xuan to adapt to it.

"Do you think we are doing this for your sake?"

"Who is not doing this for your master..."

The man was furious, but Ayimu interrupted him with a light tone:

"Did my master force you?"

"You..."

Li Xuan shook his head, and guessed that the man below was about to vomit blood because of Ayimu's anger.

After listening for a while, he had already heard that the man below should not be a guest of Hu Yulou, but a person from the same faction as Ayimu.

Li Xuan curiously stretched his head slowly, and then only exposed one eye to peek at the situation in the room.

In the room, opposite Ayimu sat a coquettish uncle, who not only dyed a strand of white hair fashionably, but also had green pupils, which was very eye-catching.

"This skin is not bad."

Li Xuan took a look and couldn't help but comment on the appearance of the uncle.

He is a real housewife killer, with an irresistible charm for mature women. Some young girls are probably also attracted by his appearance.

"The color of the eyes also looks like the blood of the Hu people."

"And is this power a kind of appearance association?"

"Ayimu and this uncle are both excellent in appearance."

If the power behind Aimu is interested in appearance, the three of them can get along well.

Not to mention that Li Xuan himself is a charming and charming little male cat.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er's appearance is also beyond reproach, and they are completely worthy of the word beauty.

"Alas, if it were really that simple."

Li Xuan sighed silently.

But at this moment, a low shout suddenly came from the house.

"Who is it!"

The next moment, the window suddenly opened, and Li Xuan felt a suction sweeping over his body.

However, compared with the previous control of Zhao Feng with true qi, this force was so weak that it was almost negligible.

Li Xuan's head was still hanging upside down outside the window, only his two furry ears were sucked tightly against his head, making his head look particularly round, like a seal.

"Xie Qingmo, how dare you be rude to the Holy Beast Master!"

Aimu, who was originally smiling and looking like a fun person, was furious when she saw Li Xuan outside the window. She propped up the table with her hands and threw herself out instantly. Her two soles firmly kicked the man's face, covering his handsome face tightly with her feet.

At this time, Li Xuan also felt that the weak suction force disappeared.

It is estimated that the coquettish uncle was kicked by Aimu and his skills were interrupted.

After only a few days of not seeing each other, Aimu's address to him has been raised from "Master Xuan" to "Master Holy Beast". Li Xuan himself dared not think about what this address will become in the future.

"This girl is addicted to cats."

Li Xuan, who didn't know why, could only think so for the time being.

Seeing that she had broken the opponent's skill, Ayimu then exerted a little force on her feet and kicked the uncle off the seat.

Then she flexibly turned sideways and jumped to the window, respectfully stretching out her hands to pick up Li Xuan.

"Sir, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming, so that Ayimu could go to greet you."

Ayimu's sincere look made Li Xuan unable to bear to think that she was joking.

"Well, there's no need to be so polite."

Li Xuan jumped onto Ayimu's palm, and then casually used his tail to reply on her palm.

"Ah~~~"

The next moment, a soft and charming moan sounded, and Li Xuan was so scared that he retracted his tail.

At this time, Ayimu quickly covered her red lips with her other hand, but it was hard to hide the confusion in her beautiful eyes.

"Ah???"

"How can you be an oiran if you are so sensitive!"

Li Xuan spread his hands, looking shocked.
