Chapter 301
Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Mansion of Wu'an.

An Xue hurried in, bowed and saluted, "Miss, Uncle Zhong is here and said he has something urgent to do."

On the pear flower couch, Xiao Jinxi, who was reading a book with her head down, was taken aback for a moment, wondering, "What's urgent? Let Uncle Zhong come in."

"Yes, miss." An Xue hurriedly took orders.

After a while, Xiao Zhong came in, bowed and saluted: "Miss."

Xiao Jinxi smiled: "Uncle Zhong, Luoer is always thinking about you. You are coming, but she is not here. If she finds out, she will definitely complain."

Xiao Zhong bowed and replied: "Miss is laughing, Luoer is just like a child."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of letterhead, and continued: "Miss, this was handed in by a child outside the mansion just now. The subordinate hastily sent it to you. It's a letter from Prince Da Viet Qi."

Xiao Jinxi was taken aback: "Nangong Chu!"

Hastily took the letter paper, opened it, and saw that it read: At midnight tonight, I am waiting for Miss Xiao and Eleventh Prince to visit.

At the bottom is written a location, which is the private residence of Prince Qi.

Xiao Jinxi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Heh... this Nangong Chu is really direct!"

Xiao Zhong nodded and said: "Miss, this Prince Qi is not simple. Although he was far away in Dayue before, but he knew clearly that as long as this letter is delivered to his subordinates, it will definitely reach Miss."

"That's right." Xiao Jinxi smiled: "Uncle Zhong, he came to the imperial capital after making sufficient preparations."

Xiao Zhong said worriedly: "Miss, the purpose of Prince Qi's trip is definitely not simple. Now I want to ask you to meet, you should be careful."

"Do you want your subordinates to arrange manpower to ambush near the house here?"

Xiao Jinxi shook her head and said, "No need. Uncle Zhong, I have already arranged for people to stay nearby for this house."

Xiao Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "It turns out that the eldest lady has known for a long time that Prince Qi has come to the apocalypse."

Xiao Jinxi nodded and said: "That's right, it's just that after Prince Qi left last time, he didn't show up again. I was worried that I couldn't find someone else, but he came to the door by himself. Now it's just right."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhong bowed and replied: "Since the eldest lady has already made up her mind, the subordinate will not interfere. Then the subordinate will retire first."

Xiao Jinxi nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Uncle Zhong."

"Miss, please be polite." Xiao Zhong just bowed and left.

On the pear flower couch, Xiao Jinxi stared at the letter in his hand, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Nangong Chu, you dare to invite us to meet like this. It seems that you must have many strongholds in Tianqi."

Wei Mo worried: "Master, are you going to the appointment?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled: "Of course, he was forced to leave last time, and now he's trying his best to come back. Naturally, we have to give him a chance to see what he wants to do."

Wei Mo bowed and replied: "Okay, my subordinates will go and arrange the manpower to get ready."

"Okay." Xiao Jinxi handed over the letterhead: "You send this letter to Mo Yi. Let Mo Yi send a letter to Prince Gong by the way."

Hearing this, Wei Mo smiled: "Master, do you want to find another foothold of Nangong Chu through Ma Cheng?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled, nodded and said, "That's right, Ma Cheng is much more familiar with the streets and alleys of the imperial capital than we are. With his help, it will be easier for you to find his whereabouts."

"Yes, master." Wei Mo took the letter and turned to leave.

At night, in the capital of the Apocalypse Emperor, Nangong Chu's private residence.

In the tea room, Nangong Chu was sitting on a chair on one side, holding a teacup in his hand, drinking tea quietly, his eyes glanced outside from time to time, seemingly calm and unsure.

for a long time.

A well-dressed man hurried in, bowed his head and said: "My lord, people are coming. Zhou Tai is bringing them over."

finally come!Nangong Chu smiled: "Okay, welcome."

After a while, Mo Yi and Xiao Jinxi, who were dressed in black, came towards them.

Nangong Chu smiled, stood up and said: "Nangong Chu welcomes Eleventh Prince and Miss Xiao."

Xiao Jinxi smiled and replied: "Prince Qi is being polite. I don't know about your posture. You thought we were officially visiting tonight."

Mo Yi returned his salute, turned his head and led Xiao Jinxi, walked to a chair beside him and sat down: "Come out in the middle of the night, is Xi'er tired?"

"It's okay." Xiao Jinxi replied with a smile: "Prince Qi has come from a long way, so it's okay to work harder. I just don't know if Prince Qi will let us make this trip for nothing."

Seeing the two talking to themselves, Nangong Chu shook his head helplessly, walked to the opposite side and sat down, and said, "It's really wrong for Nangong Chu to let the two of you come here secretly tonight, and I hope you two, Haihan."

Xiao Jinxi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Prince Qi, as the prince of Dayue, you sneaked to Tianqi and asked us to come here at night."

"It's really an adventure for me and Mo Yi to come here tonight!"

Mo Yi continued: "Xi'er is right. Prince Qi, if the two of us are not careful, tomorrow we will become collaborators and traitors."

Nangong Chu shook his head and smiled: "I believe that with the abilities of the Eleventh Prince and Miss Xiao, it is not difficult to deceive others."

But Xiao Jinxi shook his head and said: "Prince Qi's words are wrong. Although my Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is the mansion of the founder of the country, I am still a courtier of Tianqi. Now, I am even more trembling like walking on thin ice, but I dare not take a wrong step."

"It's like Prince Qi. If the Empress Dowager Dayue knows that you are in Tianqi at this moment, I believe that before you go back, those people under you will be wiped out by her. Do you think it is right?"

Nangong Chu's eyes darkened, and he shook his head and said, "No, I believe that Miss Xiao would not be the one who tipped off the news. Otherwise, you would not come to the appointment tonight."

Xiao Jinxi shook her head with a smile and said: "Prince Qi, you are wrong. The sage said, only villains and women are difficult to raise."

"As long as it's not a conspiracy, I, Xiao Jinxi, have always done as I please. Tonight, if I feel uneasy, maybe tomorrow I will send out the news about you in Tianqi."

Nangong Chu shook his head helplessly and said, "I believe this. Miss Xiao is the only one who dares to withdraw the emperor's marriage in public in the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

"However, Miss Xiao, since you and the Eleventh Prince came here and had a secret conversation with this king. Doesn't it look like treason to outsiders?"

The corner of Mo Yi's mouth smiled: "Today, Xi'er learned that someone pretended to be Prince Qi and invited her to an appointment."

"This person must have ulterior motives! Xi'er is even more afraid of whether this person will harm the people of Tianqi, so she ventured here just to find out!"

"In the end, I found out that this person is really Prince Qi Nangong Chu, and he sneaked into Tianqi secretly, with impure motives."

"So, in order to maintain the friendly relations between the two countries, we hurriedly reported it to the imperial court, and by the way, also notified the Queen Mother Dai Viet."

"Prince Qi, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Nangong Chu, who was drinking tea with his head down, clenched the hand holding the teacup for an instant, but smiled for a moment: "The Eleventh Prince really took great pains for Miss Xiao. Such a concubine's love is really enviable! "

Xiao Jinxi smiled, and said in agreement: "Prince Qi and Wangfei are also very affectionate, and they are envious of others!"

"I heard that the princess has suffered from heart disease since she was a child, and her body is weak. Prince Qi is not in Dayue to accompany the princess, but secretly came to Tianqi. I don't know what he wants to do?"

Prince Qi's eyes darkened, and then he smiled: "Miss Xiao also knows a lot about this king. Thank you, Miss Xiao, for your concern."

Xiao Jinxi took a look, picked up the teacup and smelled the fragrance of the tea, and stopped talking.
