"Duke Hua is exempt from gifts." Concubine Liu turned around and said lightly.

Duke Hua stood up and asked politely: "The Empress invites the old minister to come, I don't know what is important?"

Concubine Liu smiled faintly, looked at Duke Hua and asked, "Duke, how is the Empress?"

Duke Hua's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "I forgive me for not understanding what the Empress said."

"If I really don't know, why should Duke Hua come to see me?" Concubine Liu lowered her eyes and said, "If there is no conclusive news, how could I ask Duke to come to meet me? It's a coincidence that last night, a girl in the palace passed by the Imperial Garden and happened to see someone leaving the palace with something. The thing was exposed with a corner of the thing, as if it was a phoenix-patterned brocade that only the Empress could wear. What's more coincidental is... Although the girl didn't know that person, she described it as a little like that." Duke Hua said coldly: "I don't know what the Empress is saying. If the Empress only wants to say these words, please forgive me for taking back." As soon as he bowed, Duke Hua turned around and left.

A slight light flashed in Concubine Liu's cold eyes, and she sneered: "The Empress is in Dingwang Mansion now? Feng San took the Queen away last night. Do Duke Hua really don't care at all?"

Duke Hua turned around and sneered: "Since the Empress has such confidence, why not report directly to King Li and the Empress Dowager? Instead of worrying about the Hua family and the Empress, the Imperial Concubine should be worried about yourself. The last emperor's will...it is not so easy to change."

Concubine Liu's face suddenly looked ugly. Duke Hua was warning her that if she interfered with the queen, the Hua family had some ways to let the royal family execute Mo Jingqi's will immediately. In fact, it was not easy for Mo Jingqi's will to be delayed until now. However, Mo Jingqi has not been buried yet, and the new emperor has not ascended the throne. With the Liu family and King Li, no one mentioned the burial of the dead for the time being, but it has even been announced to the world that sooner or later those scholars who are idle will definitely bring it up. If the Hua family interferes, the matter will be even more difficult. Watching Duke Hua turn around, the peach blossom that Concubine Liu originally held was crushed to pieces. The light red flower juice dyed the jade-like plain hand.

In the Dingwang Mansion, Mo Xiuyao frowned when he received the news from the people sent by Duke of China, and threw the letter on the table aside.

Ye Li picked it up and looked at it, frowned and said, "How could Concubine Liu know about this?"

"If you can rob the queen from the palace without any plans, what reason do you expect him to have? It is not surprising that he is discovered. What's more,... Concubine Liu is afraid that there are experts around him." Mo Xiuyao said.

"Expert?" Ye Liqi said. She really couldn't think of what kind of expert would be around Concubine Liu, who was born in the deep palace. Could it be that the palace was really a crouching tiger and hidden dragon?

Mo Xiuyao said calmly: "Concubine Liu has always been a talented person. If she is a good scholar of the paper, she might be a bit far away from her strategy. If she is still far from her strategy, these few things are not like her work." Unlike many ladies of noble families, Concubine Liu can be said to be successful and pampered throughout her life. She was in the most powerful period of the Liu family, and was also the only daughter of the same generation. At the beginning, the Liu family really held her in the palm of her hand and hurt her, otherwise she would not be able to develop her arrogant temperament. After entering the palace, she was loved by Mo Jingqi without principles. She didn't need to be fooled to intrigue with others. Concubine Liu, who was used to doing whatever she wanted, was indeed a bit unsatisfied in his strategy, otherwise she would not arouse his suspicion when Mo Jingqi was dying.

Ye Li didn't know Concubine Liu, but after several confrontations, Ye Li could feel that Concubine Liu was indeed not a calculating person. You could tell by just looking at her method of pestering Mo Xiuyao. After thinking about it, Ye Li asked, "What kind of person do you have to doubt?"

Mo Xiuyao curled his lips and smiled, and said simply: "Tan Jizhi."

"Tan Jizhi?" Ye Li was stunned. The name seemed to have not been mentioned for a long time. Since Shu Manlin was killed by Princess Anxi, Tan Jizhi's whereabouts were unknown. Later, Ren Qining appeared, which made them divert Tan Jizhi's attention. However, he did not expect that Tan Jizhi would sneak back to the capital.

Mo Xiuyao said: "Tan Jizhi stayed silently by Mo Jingqi for ten years. Since he was not sincerely loyal to Mo Jingqi, he could not have done nothing in the past ten years, right? So I guess... he not only knew Su Zuidie and Concubine Liu, but also might even be familiar with Mo Jingli." Hearing this, Ye Li was shocked and said with a frown: "The medicine Mo Jingli brought back from southern Xinjiang..."

"It was the news that Tan Jizhi revealed to him." Mo Xiuyao said: "The holy land in the southern Xinjiang has always been in the hands of Shu Manlin. Even if Princess Qixia has a weak relationship with Princess Anxi, she is still Princess Anxi's sister. Shu Manlin cannot be as good as her. The news that there is such a medicine in the southern Xinjiang holy land can only be told by Tan Jizhi or Shu Manlin." Ye Li was silent. If this is true, Mo Jingqi's death is probably inevitable. Tan Jizhi's handwriting is inevitable. After rubbing her eyebrows, Ye Li had to admit that she was really not suitable for these intrigues. "If so... what does Tan Jizhi and Concubine Liu want to do this time?"

Mo Xiuyao shook his head and said indifferently: "Don't worry, if they want to reveal this news, they will not talk to the old Duke. Since this is the case, they must have something to ask for, and we will do nothing, they will come to him." He sat in the Ding Palace. Even if Mo Jingli really suspected that the queen was in the Ding Palace, would he dare to come in and search? Besides, I was afraid that Mo Jingliba would not let them take the queen away, so he would hold a handle from the Hua family to prevent the Hua family from causing trouble for him in the future. Mo Xiuyao did not intend to interfere in the capital, so most things were left unattended. However, Feng Zhiyao and the Queen meant him differently to him than ordinary people. Since Feng Zhiyao brought people out, he certainly didn't mind taking people away.

Ye Li frowned and said, "No matter what, there is someone secretly peeping and always makes people feel uncomfortable."

Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "Since Ali feels uncomfortable, then just solve him."

"Prince, Princess. Something happened." As he was speaking, Zhuo Jing hurried in and reported directly before he could salute.

Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

"The Feng family was confiscated." Zhuo Jing reported.

Mo Xiuyao glanced at Zhuo Jing indifferently and asked, "What's this?" Although the Feng family is one of the four wealthy people in Da Chu and Feng Zhiyao's home, he is not from the Ding Prince's Mansion. Therefore, whether the Feng family is confiscated or not is indeed nothing to Mo Xiuyao.

Zhuo Jing was also a little embarrassed. As soon as he got the news, he hurried in to report. He forgot that the Feng family had nothing to do with the Ding Prince's Mansion except for the accidental relationship between Feng San Gong, and Ye Li smiled and said, "Forget it, let's tell Feng San, after all, it's his biological father."

Zhuo Jing should have been there before he turned around and left the door. Feng Zhiyao had already appeared outside the door and said lightly: "No need, I already know." Feng Zhiyao and the queen walked in one after another, their faces a little bad. Obviously, Feng Zhiyao rushed over after hearing about this, his face was still a little pale, but the gloom in his eyes disappeared a lot. Feng Zhiyao looked at Mo Xiuyao apologetically, "Prince..."

Mo Xiuyao waved his hand and smiled a little fake, "Don't apologize to me. No one in Chujing dares to cause trouble for me yet. If you don't feel guilty about the Feng family, then we will be ready to go back to Licheng?"

Feng Zhiyao smiled bitterly. He had no feelings for the Feng family. But he would not have been able to ignore the Feng family's search. After all, he had no deep hatred with the Feng family, but he just chose a different path. This time, the Feng family was really implicated by itself.

"This matter will be solved by my subordinates." Feng Zhiyao whispered.

Mo Xiuyao squinted his eyes and said, "How do you want to solve it? After the palace is robbed, the Heavenly Prison is robbed again? Or will you go to the net and say that it was your third son Feng who robbed the queen?"

Feng Zhiyao looked at the lazy white-haired man in front of him speechlessly. He had known Mo Xiuyao for decades. He knew Mo Xiuyao enough. He said so, just to help him solve the problem. But Feng Zhiyao was very uneasy. This time the incident was indeed caused by his impulse. If he endured it and came back to discuss with Mo Xiuyao, Mo Xiuyao might not have stopped him or her. But now he had made mistakes but he had to help him settle it, which made Feng Zhiyao secretly regret his impulse.

"Don't show this to me. Take Tan Jizhi to the Ding Palace within three hours. Otherwise..." The following words were not finished, but the meaning of threat was self-evident.

Feng Zhiyao was excited and said loudly: "Subordinate to obey the order. Go immediately."

He looked back at the queen sitting on the side, and the queen smiled faintly and said, "You go and do it first. I will talk to King Ding and the Princess."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhiyao's face lit up and his tone became much lighter. He looked at the queen and said, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon." After that, he stepped out of the flower hall with brisk steps, and there was no sign of any injury on his body.

Seeing Yanhong Jinyi disappear at the door, the queen sighed helplessly. She looked at Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao apologetically and said, "I've caused you trouble."

Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and said, "Feng San has been enslaved by me for more than ten years. It's nothing to help him solve some trouble occasionally. I don't want to hear anything else, so I'd better wait for Feng San to come back. If he comes back, you'll disappear again, I'm afraid I'll have one less powerful general."

The queen couldn't help but smile and shook her head and said, "After so many years, your friendship with Ayao has not changed. Thank you for taking care of him over the years."
