Hearing the conversation between the two women, Princess Xi's face changed slightly, and then she quickly pushed Ai Li.
Seeing this, Ellie also knew that the situation was critical, and quickly walked down the stairs in the other direction.
While holding on to the stairs to guard her, she fled in a hurry, and looked back from time to time.
The two maids who had been with Princess Xi the whole time turned the corner and did not notice her. Instead, they walked towards Princess Xi's room talking and laughing.
Then she glanced at Princess Xi eagerly: Seeing that she had successfully gone downstairs, Princess Xi seemed to be relieved and walked back to the bedroom with the door ajar.
Seeing this scene, Ellie's eyes fluctuated slightly and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Slowing down her pace, Ellie quietly walked out of the villa. All the things that echoed in her mind were the whispers Princess Xi had said to her.
The Kou family wants to rebel?
Princess Xi is controlled?
Is Mr. Pang related to the death of her parents?
This piece of information was more impactful than the previous one, causing her brain to shut down a bit.
Therefore, until she walked out of the villa and walked to Yanyan and Xueer, Ellie was a little unable to recover.
Xue'er has always only cared about herself, so when she saw Ellie like that, she just thought that her parents' matter had a great impact on her, so she didn't care.
However, Yanyan, who was simple on the outside but extremely rich on the inside, was keenly aware that something was wrong. She quietly came to Ellie's side, then moved her nose slightly and sniffed lightly.
'The light body fragrance mixed with the fragrance of milk is the smell of Princess Xi?'
'Did Princess Xi give her personal belongings to Ai Li?'
Thinking this, Yanyan couldn't help but look back at the villa.
‘.My preparation for helping the master tonight is so useful? The princess didn’t want to wait any longer and just took the bait?’
'Or. The situation in the 6th shelter has become extremely complicated and dangerous?'
Because there was too little information, Yanyan couldn't analyze much valuable things for the time being, so she could only keep her doubts in her heart.
The three of them came to accompany Princess Xi, and of course they couldn't bring anyone with them. So when walking back, Ai Li drove, while Yanyan and Xue'er sat in the back seat.
Maybe I was a little sleepy after chatting with Princess Xi all night. So as soon as the car started, Xueer put her arms around Yanyan's waist, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.
While the vehicle was driving, the scene outside the car window kept moving backwards. But there was silence inside the car.
After driving like this for a few minutes, Ellie suddenly spoke.
She asked softly, "Yanyan, if someone told you that one of your very respectable elders might have problems, what would you think?"
'It's over, Ellie is really going to leave her and go eat snacks alone!'
Yanyan's face showed no expression, but her heart was surging like ocean waves.
As early as tonight's dinner, Yanyan actually noticed Princess Xi's unnatural state and Kou Yu's arrogant and domineering appearance.
Although she couldn't figure out why this happened, Yanyan was still clearly aware of the many contradictions within the envoy group.
Therefore, after Princess Xi clearly expressed her interest in Qiu Tu tonight, she would take the initiative to expose Qiu Tu's strength and power.
Sure enough, Princess Xi took the bait and wanted to use Qiu Tu's power to break the situation.
As for why Princess Xi didn't use other senior officials from the Eighth Sanctuary, such as Mr. Pang, to break the situation, Yanyan had two guesses.
Otherwise, Mr. Pang's position is too high, and Princess Xi is worried that she cannot control it, and finally leads the wolf into the house.
Otherwise, Mr. Pang may have certain problems.
After all, as the leader of the "Academic School", Mr. Pang should be the one with the closest ties to the 6th Sanctuary among all the senior officials of the 8th Sanctuary.
One of them might have a close relationship with the Kou family.
Of course, these are just Yanyan's speculations and there is no solid evidence.
But now Ellie's words have confirmed all her guesses.
Therefore, she didn't even need to think about it, she guessed that tonight Ellie would go to see Qiu Tu at Princess Xi's request to talk about cooperation matters.
Yanyan doesn't know whether Qiu Tu will cooperate with Princess Xi. But Yanyan knows that regardless of whether they cooperate or not, Qiu Tu will definitely be eaten if Aili takes the initiative to send her to her door!
'Obviously I am the master's exclusive gold-eating beast!'
'Why is it that Ellie is the one enjoying the happiness now!'
Thinking of this, Yanyan couldn't help but feel a little angry
But after thinking that the main target this time was not Ellie, but Princess Xi, Yanyan suppressed her jealousy and decided to cooperate again.
After all, she believed that if she obediently worked for the benefit of her master, her master would definitely reward her.
At the same time, while Yanyan was talking to Ai Li.
Pang Lao's temporary residence in Dongcheng City also welcomed a guest at this time.
Looking at the uninvited guest at the door, Pang Lao's eyes darkened slightly, but he still nodded and said, "Master Kou, please come inside."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the study room on the first floor.
Behind him is Kou Yu, the cabinet minister of the 6th Sanctuary, deputy head of the envoy group, and the second eldest son of the Kou family.
After leading Kou Yu to the study, Mr. Pang closed the door behind his back.
He poured a glass of water for Kou Yu with a gloomy expression, then placed it heavily on the table, and said calmly, "You have gone too far!"
Faced with Pang Lao, one of the leaders of the 8th Sanctuary, Kou Yu didn't have much respect.
He sat down with his legs crossed, still looking arrogant and domineering, with his eyes raised above his head.
He glanced sideways at Mr. Pang, and then said in a pretense of confusion, "What's too much? Mr. Pang, what are you talking about?"
Hearing this, Mr. Pang snorted coldly, said with a sullen face, "Who do you think you can hide from those little tricks you did?"
"Qiu Tu is not a fool, and neither are the other senior officials who came down. Who can't see that the princess is under your control?"
"You haven't taken control of Sanctuary 6 yet. Do you know how ugly the scene is?"
After hearing what Mr. Pang said, Kou Yu took a sip of water and said, "So what if you see it."
"I just want them to see it. Let them know that our Kou family has the final say in the 6th shelter now."
"Prince Kang and the princess are just our puppets!"
Speaking of this, he may have noticed that Pang Lao had been criticizing him. Kou Yu let out a "tsk", then raised his head and counterattacked, "By the way, Lao Pang, why are you pretending to be compassionate like a cat crying like a mouse?"
"Don't you have a share of the credit for this current situation?"
Kou Yu said angrily, "At the beginning, I don't know who told my brother that the monarchy is a retrogression of the times."
"Say, according to Leviathan's social contract theory, the state is a political system supported by the people and serving the people."
"The rights of the state are transferred by the people. The state cannot exercise powers that are not given by the people. The people must always be wary of the state exercising powers beyond the permission."
"So, monarchy is an alienated political system that uses violence to deprive the people of power. It is a dictatorship."
"That's why you are willing to cooperate with us to cut off several of King Kang's men who he likes and cultivates."
"It directly led to the decline of King Kang's power, and he began to gradually lose control of the sanctuary."
Speaking of this, Kou Yu leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked at Old Pang provocatively with three white eyes, "What? Old Pang, now that things have happened, you are starting to blame us?"
Upon hearing Kou Yu's words, Pang Lao's face turned blue and white.
He stared at Kou Yu, just staring.
After a moment, he snorted coldly, then sat down heavily and said, "I was thinking about Xu Xu."
"First let the 6th Sanctuary change from a "dual constitutional monarchy" to a "parliamentary constitutional monarchy" and deprive the monarch of his real power."
"Then the monarchy will be abolished and turned into a republic."
"Just do it step by step."
"Who knew you would take such big steps?" After hearing Pang Lao's words, Kou Yu said carelessly,
"Don't put such a big blame on my head."
"I killed all of Princess Xi's personal entourage and maids, and then restricted Princess Xi a little."
"But it's not because I'm afraid that she will have some thoughts that she shouldn't have, which will cause trouble to our plan. I didn't do anything to her."
"As for the rest, it's my brother's decision. If you have any questions, just go to my brother directly."
Pang Lao's expression froze.
In front of him could not help but appear the legendary figure who was as wise as a demon, who worked with King Kang to establish the 6th Sanctuary, and single-handedly brought the Kou family to the top again.
In the many crises in Shelter 6 and the Kou family, it was that man who turned the tide and saved the building from collapse.
Even Rao Lao praised him as a true hero and joked that he had half of the credit for the Sixth Sanctuary.
Therefore, Mr. Pang hesitated for a moment, but finally did not continue.
He was silent for a moment, then smoothed things over and said in a low voice, "Okay. Didn't I transfer Huang Shangzong specifically for your sake?"
"He had an old relationship with Ellie's parents back then, and he has been raising Ellie as half a daughter for the past 10 years. If he knew about our plan, he might explode."
"That's why I realized that after Rao Shou and others wanted to support Qiu Tu, they hinted that Huang Shangzong was more suitable for expanding their territory and asked them to transfer Huang Shangzong away while leaving Qiu Tu in Dongye Prefecture."
Hearing what Mr. Pang said, Kou Yu laughed "hehe" twice, and then said, "I heard that you voted against it for the first time in order to perform a full set."
A smug smile appeared on Mr. Pang's face, and then he said, "Those two old foxes, Rao Shou, are very suspicious. If I had agreed right away, they would have been wary and suspected that there was something evil going on here."
Hearing this, Kou Yu patted his legs and laughed "haha".
After laughing, he couldn't help but ask, "What about Qiu Tu?"
"Will he have an impact on our plans?"
After hearing Kou Yu's words, Mr. Pang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Qiu Tu is very strong and capable. And his political literacy is extremely good."
"He is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business. He even likes to rule by inaction even on his own one-third of an acre of land."
"So, as long as you don't provoke him, it won't be a big problem."
Speaking of this, Mr. Pang seemed to have thought of something, and then said, "Oh, by the way. This person has a very bad life style, and there are so many beautiful women around him."
"Women may be his only weakness. So, you have to make sure that he has no contact with Princess Xi to prevent Princess Xi from persuading him."
Hearing this, Kou Yu said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. It's okay."
"Today, he actually slapped me in the face openly and went to see the princess."
"The princess was moved by him and wanted to respond. Fortunately, the maid I arranged beside her controlled her a little."
"I arrived later and separated the two people."
"Qiu Tu should have noticed something unusual at that time, but he didn't say anything. Apparently he didn't care much about our No. 6 shelter."
Speaking of this, Kou Yu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said,
"By the way, I heard that Qiu Tu captured Mu Ye?"
"What's going on?"
"What's Mu Ye's situation now?"
Hearing Kou Yu's words, Pang Lao was stunned for a moment, then he glanced at Kou Yu suspiciously, and then slowly talked about the situation.
Qiu Tu returned to Dongcheng City three hours later.
At this time, Ellie had been waiting in his villa for a while.
After returning to the bedroom, he changed into his pajamas, Qiu Tu put away the "Solacious Dummy", then pretended to yawn and went downstairs.
After many days, Ellie was still a little uncomfortable when she saw Qiu Tu again.
Especially when she thought about that day, she was clearly just swallowing gold, but while swallowing, she uncontrollably pushed Qiu Tu back, her expression was a bit complicated.
It was obviously her first time, but it was so careless and magical that she even doubted whether it was her that day.
It is precisely because of this hesitation that she has clearly dedicated her loyalty to Qiu Tu, but during this period, she has been reluctant to contact Qiu Tu.
Originally, she wanted to escape again, but tonight Princess Xi's request directly drove her to a dead end.
In fact, before coming here, she had done some mental construction for a long time. She even played several cards with Yanyan.
Her idea was that even if she only won once, she would not come again.
As a result, Yanyan, who has always been terrible at poker, seemed to have some bad luck tonight, and she was completely abused.
So she was willing to admit defeat, but finally came in despair.
But now, seeing the only man in front of her who had ever entered her, Ellie was a little panicked for a moment.
I don't even know where to move my hands.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu came over naturally, put his arm around the girl's shoulders, then sat down with her in his arms and said, "Why haven't you contacted me during this time?"
Ellie:??
Ellie, who was still a little panicked at first, was filled with questions after hearing Qiu Tu's words.
She shook her twin ponytails and then asked, "But... you didn't contact me either."
Qiu Tu hugged her, lit a cigarette, and then said matter-of-factly, "Yeah. It's not like you haven't seen how busy I am lately."
Ellie's expression froze.
Qiu Tu has been really busy recently. After saying goodbye to him, he first went to catch Mu Ye. After catching Mu Ye, he started to get promoted. After he was promoted, he received the envoys.
After thinking about it this way, it seems that there really isn't much time.
Thinking like this, Ellie herself was a little confused for a moment.
So. Is it really that I am ignorant?
Ellie suspected that she had been pua.
However, before she could figure it out, Qiu Tu smoothly changed the topic, "By the way, why did you come to see me tonight?"
After hearing this, Ellie remembered the business.
She reached out and took out an envelope, handed it to Qiu Tu, and then said, "This is what Princess Xi asked me to bring to you."
"She said she had something to ask for your help with."
"Princess Xi?" Qiu Tu actually had a premonition that such a day would come, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
He reached for the envelope and opened it.
Inside is a small pink card, which is heavy in hand. It doesn't look like paper, but like metal.
He picked it up, looked at it, and then put it between his nose and smelled it. There was a light scent of women's body and milk, which smelled quite good.
Ellie watched Qiu Tu's actions from the side, and couldn't help but think that the card was taken from Princess Xi's gully. She blushed for a moment, and wanted to stop Qiu Tu's disrespectful behavior, but she couldn't.
It's nice to say.
As a result, at this moment, Qiu Tu's expression paused slightly, and then a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Because, just when he smelled the fragrance, there was a line of delicate small words on the card.
"Dream Invitation: Place it next to your pillow before falling asleep. After falling asleep, you will enter the same dream and you can talk, communicate and interact in the dream."
Qiu Tu said "tsk" as he looked at the line of small characters that quietly appeared and then quickly disappeared.
This princess has so many tricks.
