Good luck today

The fact that the Emperor of Xiqi Kingdom was critically ill was kept secret from the outside world at first. Only people in the palace knew about the situation and quietly spread the news.

But the emperor couldn't get out of bed for three days in a row. He couldn't hide the matter, so he could only tell the officials.

There was an uproar in the ruling and opposition parties.

On the day when the news was officially announced, the prince went to visit in person. When he walked out of the emperor's palace, his eyes were red, and he announced that he was going to the Ancestral Temple to offer incense to the ancestors and pray for his father.

The Crown Prince, the orthodox heir, wanted to go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and the other princes were naturally not to be outdone. King Huai naturally got the opportunity to go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to offer incense.

Su Shixia and Feng Qinian planned together and planned to take this opportunity to take out the "Compass of Heaven and Earth" enshrined in the Ancestral Temple.

The plan went surprisingly smoothly, with almost no obstacles encountered. The Qiankun Compass was quickly replaced by them.

When Su Shixia came out of the Ancestral Temple with the compass, he felt incredible.

Things went so smoothly that it made her a little uneasy, always feeling that something bad would happen next.

The result was exactly as she expected.

Fu Hu was driving Su Shixia back to Prince Huai's Mansion in a carriage. When he passed a crossing, a carriage suddenly jumped out of a narrow alley and lay across the road, completely blocking Su Shixia's way.

Fu Hu tightened his grip on the reins and managed to stabilize the frightened horse. He stared at the carriage blocking the road with a sullen face, about to sternly accuse him.

I saw a young girl dressed as a maid walking quickly to the carriage. After bowing respectfully, she shouted directly to the carriage: "Mrs. Su, my princess has something important to discuss with you in detail. I am specially invited to You get into the carriage and talk."

Princess?

Su Shixia's heart skipped a beat, and she opened the car door and looked at the maid.

"Who is your princess?"

The maid lowered her head, looking submissive and humble, but she was confident when she announced her master's name.

"My master is Princess Lejia of Dongling Kingdom."

Fuhu knew very well that Princess Lejia had died long ago, and the "Princess Lejia" who was still active in Xiqi Kingdom was just a substitute.

As soon as he heard the maid's words, Fu Hu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and there was even a faint murderous intent flashing through his eyes.

"Miss, I'm afraid that woman is coming with bad intentions."

Fu Hu looked into the carriage. He knew that the Qiankun Compass he had just received was in the carriage. He lowered his voice and reminded, "Do I need my subordinates to break through and send you back to Prince Huai's Mansion or the Third Young Master?"

"Need not."

Su Shixia said, already getting up and walking to the door of the carriage.

"If she finds me in private, she can still avoid it or come to force me."

Su Shixia's eyes swept over the people coming and going around her. Seeing the people passing by looking at the two carriages curiously, she tugged her lips and said coldly: "She is like this in broad daylight." If you block the road directly, if I don't cooperate, it will lead to an investigation."

"Now that I have come to Xiqi Country, I cannot avoid her after all. I also want to take a good look at what kind of person the current 'Princess Lejia' is."

Su Shixia stepped out of the carriage and winked at Fu Hu to tell him to be alert. At the same time, she said to the maid who was still blocking the carriage: "Lead the way. I'm going to see your princess now."

In order not to affect traffic, both carriages were moved to a side alley.

After the carriage stopped, Su Shixia got into Princess Lejia's carriage under the guidance of the maid.Su Shixia knew that Princess Lejia was just a puppet of Ye Li in the end, so she naturally had no good impressions of her.

Before getting in the car, Su Shixia had already thought of a bunch of sarcastic words to pry her off. No matter what Princess Lejia had planned, she was confident that she could handle it.

However, Princess Lejia's reaction this time was completely beyond her expectation.

After the carriage door closed, Princess Lejia gave an order to everyone else to step back ten steps away and not to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two of them.

After the coachman and maid had retired, she suddenly stood up and then knelt down in front of Su Shixia.

Su Shixia's eyelids twitched and she looked at her warily.

"Princess...hehe, now that the new emperor of Dongling Kingdom has come to power, I should change my name and call you the eldest princess. Princess Lejia, what do you mean by this move?"

The fake Princess Lejia ignored Su Shixia's sarcasm, knelt down and gave Su Shixia a firm slap on the head, and then said, "My slave, I pay my respects to Princess Pingxi."

"Princess, you should know that this slave is not the real Princess Lejia, but a substitute for Princess Lejia. She is a member of the National Preceptor."

The maid was very honest. She confessed her identity immediately and said, "Master Imperial Master knows that you have long known the identity of this slave. He also knows that the reason why you concealed your identity and came to Xiqi Kingdom this time, you even did not hesitate to fight with Xiqi." The royal family of the country joined forces in order to obtain the Qiankun Compass enshrined in the Ancestral Temple of Xiqi State, and to obtain the military power of Xiqi State, so that the army of Xiqi State could join forces with King Ping Xi to suppress Dongling Kingdom and allow King Ping Xi to regain the throne. "

Even though he knew that Ye Li was not an ordinary person and would be difficult to deal with, his every move was seen through by Ye Li, which still made Su Shixia very unhappy.

"What exactly do you want to say? Are you here to demonstrate to me on behalf of Ye Li?"

"Do not."

The maid was still kneeling in front of Su Shixia, but she raised her head and looked at Su Shixia and said seriously: "This maid is here to 'negotiate peace' with you, the princess, on behalf of the Imperial Master."

When he heard this, Su Shixia was really stunned for a moment.

For a moment, she even wondered if she had heard it wrong.

"Reconciliation?"

She sneered and looked at the maid coldly.

"When did Ye Li become so kind? He was the one who took the initiative to provoke conflicts, and he was also the one who killed Qin Yi and me. Qin Yi and I really almost died in his hands, even after escaping from death. , didn’t Ye Li also send out arrest documents to search for us everywhere?”

"Everything he did was to kill us all, and now he says he wants to 'negotiate peace'? Don't you yourselves find it ridiculous to say such a thing?"

"Tell me, how does Ye Li want to negotiate peace?

Su Shixia's eyes became colder and colder, and even her tone carried fierce murderous intent.

"Will he and the new emperor of Dongling Kingdom take the initiative to send his heads to me and Qin Yi so that he can apologize to us and let us see his sincerity in 'negotiating peace'?"

"Princess, you are joking."

The maid said: "Since it is a 'peace negotiation', both sides must show sincerity."

"The sincerity shown by the National Preceptor is the 'National Treasure Sword of Dongling Kingdom' and the 'Xiqi Kingdom Qiankun Compass' that you got today."

The maid was not afraid at all in front of Su Shixia. She looked directly at her and said, "Both items are now in your hands, Princess. The Imperial Master said that these two gifts should satisfy you, Princess."
