Chapter 493: The traitor appears? ( words asking for monthly votes)
Hearing the conversation between the two women, Princess Xi's face changed slightly, and then she quickly pushed Ellie.

Seeing this, Ellie realized that the situation was critical, so she quickly walked down the stairs in the other direction.

She fled in panic while holding the stairs and guarding them, looking back from time to time.

The two maids who had been following Princess Xi the whole time did not notice her after turning the corner, but walked towards Princess Xi's room while talking and laughing.

Then she looked up at Princess Xi again. When Princess Xi saw that she had successfully come downstairs, she seemed to be relieved, left the door ajar, and walked back to her bedroom.
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 that echoed in her mind along the way were the whispers that Princess Xi had said to her.

The Kou family wants to rebel?

Princess Xi was controlled?
Is Mr. Pang related to the death of her parents?
Each piece of information was more shocking than the last, causing her brain to freeze.

So, until she walked out of the villa and came to Yanyan and Xueer, Ellie was still a little dazed.

Xue'er has always only cared about herself, so when she saw Ellie like that, she just thought that her parents' affairs had too much of a shock to her and didn't take it seriously.

Yanyan, who looked simple but had a rich heart, was keenly aware that something was wrong. She quietly moved closer to Ai Li, then moved her nose slightly and sniffed gently.

"The faint body fragrance mixed with the milky scent is the scent of Princess Xi?"

"Princess Xi gave her personal belongings to Ellie?"

Thinking of this, Yanyan couldn't help but look back at the villa.

'. Was the preparation I made tonight for my master so useful? The princess didn't even want to wait for a day and took the bait? '

"Or... Is the situation at Shelter 6 already extremely complicated and dangerous?"

Because there was too little information, Yanyan couldn't analyze much valuable information for the time being, so she could only keep her doubts in her heart.

The three of them came to accompany Princess Xi, so of course they couldn't bring any personal personnel with them. So when they were going back, Ai Li drove the car, while Yan Yan and Xue Er sat in the back seat.

Maybe she was a little sleepy after chatting with Princess Xi all night. So as soon as the car started, Xue'er hugged Yanyan's waist, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.

As the vehicle was moving, the scene outside the window kept moving backwards, but the interior of the vehicle was silent.

After driving like this for a few minutes, Ellie suddenly spoke.

She asked softly, "Yan Yan, if someone told you that one of your respected elders might have a problem, what would you think?"

"It's over. Ellie is really going to abandon me and go eat snacks alone!"

There was no expression on Yanyan's face, but her heart was surging like waves.

As early as tonight's dinner, Yanyan actually noticed Princess Xi's unnatural state and Kou Yu's arrogant and domineering attitude.

Although she didn't understand why this happened, Yanyan was still clearly aware of the many contradictions within the delegation.

Therefore, only after Princess Xi clearly expressed her interest in Qiu Tu tonight would she take the initiative to expose Qiu Tu's strength and power.

As expected, Princess Xi took the bait and wanted to use Qiu Tu's power to break the situation.

As for why Princess Xi did not use other senior officials of the Eighth Shelter, such as Elder Pang, to break the impasse, Yanyan had two guesses.

Otherwise, it might be that Mr. Pang’s position is too high, and Princess Xi is worried that she will not be able to control him, and end up letting a wolf into the house.

Otherwise, there might be some problems with Mr. Pang.

After all, as the head of the "Academic School", Mr. Pang should be the one with the closest ties to the 8th Shelter among all the senior executives of the 6th Shelter.

One of them might have a close relationship with the Kou family.

Of course, these are just Yanyan's guesses and there is no solid evidence.

But now Ellie's words confirmed all her guesses.

Therefore, she didn't even need to think about it to guess that tonight Ellie would respond to Princess Xi's request and go meet Qiu Tu to discuss the cooperation matters.

Yanyan didn't know whether Qiu Tu would cooperate with Princess Xi. But Yanyan knew that no matter whether they would cooperate or not, if Ai Li took the initiative to deliver herself to the door, Qiu Tu would definitely eat her up!
"I am obviously the master's exclusive gold-eating beast!"

'Why is it that Ellie is the only one enjoying the good life now!'

Thinking of this, Yanyan couldn't help but feel a little angry.
But when she thought that the main target this time was not Ellie but Princess Xi, Yanyan suppressed her jealousy and decided to cooperate.

After all, she believed that if she worked hard for the benefit of her master, he would definitely reward her.

At the same time. When Yanyan was talking to Ai Li.

Dongcheng City. At this time, Mr. Pang's temporary residence also welcomed a guest.

Looking at the uninvited guest at the door, Mr. Pang's eyes darkened slightly, but he still nodded and said, "Master Kou, please come in."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the study on the first floor.

Behind him was Kou Yu, the cabinet minister of the 6th Shelter, the deputy head of the envoy group, and the second son of the Kou family.

Bringing Kou Yu to the study, Mr. Pang closed the door.

With a gloomy face, he poured a glass of water for Kou Yu, then put it heavily on the table and said in a dignified manner, "You've gone too far!"

Kou Yu did not have much respect for Pang Lao, one of the leaders of Shelter No. 8.

He sat down, crossed his legs, still looking arrogant and domineering.

He glanced at Mr. Pang, then pretended to be puzzled and said, "What's too much? Mr. Pang, what are you talking about?"

Hearing this, Mr. Pang snorted coldly, his face gloomy, and said in a deep voice, "Who do you think you can hide those little tricks you did?"

"Qiu Tu is not a fool, and neither are the other high-ranking officials who came down. Everyone can see that the princess is being controlled by you."

"You haven't taken control of Shelter 6 yet. Do you know how ugly the situation is?"

After hearing what Elder Pang said, Kou Yu drank a sip of water nonchalantly, and then said, "So what if I can see it."

"I just want them to see it. Let them know that now in Shelter 6, our Kou family has the final say."

"King Kang and his wife are just our puppets!"

At this point, Kou Yu, perhaps realizing that Old Pang had been criticizing him, uttered a "tsk", then raised his head and counterattacked, "By the way, Old Pang, why are you pretending to be merciful like the cat crying over the rat?"

"Isn't this situation also due to you?"

Kou Yu said sarcastically, "At the beginning, I don't know who told my brother righteously that the monarchy is a regression of the times."

"According to Leviathan's social contract theory, the state is a political system that is supported by the people and serves the people."

“The rights of the state are granted by the people. The state cannot exercise power that the people do not grant. The people must always be vigilant against the state exercising power beyond its permission.”

"So, monarchy is an alienated political system that uses violence to deprive the people of their power. It is a dictatorship."

"That's why you are willing to cooperate with us to eliminate a few of King Kang's subordinates who he has high hopes for and has been cultivating."

"It directly led to King Kang's power being in a state of disarray, and he began to gradually lose control of the sanctuary."

At this point, Kou Yu leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked at Old Pang provocatively, "What? Old Pang, now that things have come to this, are you blaming us?"

When he heard Kou Yu's words, Mr. Pang's face turned pale and blue.

He stared at Kou Yu, just staring at him.

After a moment, he snorted coldly, then sat down heavily and said, "I'm thinking of taking it slow."

"First, change the 6th Sanctuary from a 'dual monarchy' to a 'parliamentary monarchy' and deprive the monarch of his real power."

"Then we will abolish the monarchy and turn it into a republic."

"Just do it step by step."

"Who knew that you guys would take such big steps?" After hearing what Pang Lao said, Kou Yu said nonchalantly.
"Don't put such a big blame on me."

"I killed all of Princess Xi's followers and maids, and then I put some restrictions on Princess Xi."

"But I'm afraid she'll have some inappropriate thoughts and mess up our plans. I didn't do anything to her."

"As for the rest, it's all my brother's decision. If you think there's a problem, just go find my brother."

Mr. Pang’s expression froze.

The image of that wise and almost diabolical figure who worked with King Kang to establish the Sixth Shelter and brought the Kou family to the top again appeared in front of him.

In the several crises of Shelter 6 and the Kou family, it was that man who turned the tide and saved the collapsing family.

Even Mr. Rao praised him as a true hero, and jokingly said that he was responsible for half of the Sixth Shelter.

So, Mr. Pang hesitated for a moment and finally did not continue speaking.

He was silent for a moment, then tried to smooth things over, saying in a low voice, "Alright. I transferred Huang Shangzong away specifically for you guys."

"He had a past with Ellie's parents, and he has been raising Ellie as a half-daughter for the past 10 years. If he knew about our plan, he would probably be furious."

"So, I realized that Rao Shou and the others wanted to support Qiu Tu, so I hinted to them that Huang Shangzong was more suitable for expanding the territory, and asked them to transfer Huang Shangzong away and keep Qiu Tu in Dongyezhou."

Hearing what Mr. Pang said, Kou Yu laughed twice, then said, "I heard that in order to act out the whole thing, you voted against it for the first time."

Old Pang showed a smug smile on his face, and then said, "Those two old foxes Rao Shou are very suspicious. If I agree right away, they will definitely be alert and suspect that there is something fishy going on."

Upon hearing this, Kou Yu clapped his legs and laughed out loud.

After laughing, he couldn't help but ask, "What about Qiu Tu?"

"Will he have an impact on our plan?"

After hearing what Kou Yu said, Elder Pang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Qiu Tu is very strong and capable. And his political literacy is excellent."

"He is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs. He even prefers to let things take their own course when it comes to his own little piece of land."

"So, as long as you don't provoke him, there won't be any problem."

At this point, Pang Lao seemed to have thought of something, and then he said, "Oh, right. This man has a very bad lifestyle and is surrounded by beautiful women."

"Women may be his only weakness. So, you must make sure he has no contact with Princess Xi. Prevent Princess Xi from influencing him."

Hearing this, Kou Yu said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. This is okay."

"Today, he openly slapped me in the face 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."

"Then I arrived and separated the two people."

"Qiu Tu must have noticed something unusual at the time, but he didn't say anything. It's clear that he doesn't care much about the affairs of our Shelter 6."

At this point, Kou Yu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke,
"By the way, I heard that Qiu Tu arrested Mu Ye?"

"How is this going?"

"What's the situation now?"

Hearing Kou Yu's words, Pang Lao was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Kou Yu suspiciously, and then slowly explained 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 and changing into pajamas, Qiu Tu put away the "Bugou Dummy", pretended to yawn, and went downstairs.

After many days, when she saw Qiu Tu again, Ellie still felt a little unnatural.

Especially when she thought about that day when she was just swallowing gold, but while swallowing, she uncontrollably pushed Qiu Tu back, her expression became a little complicated.

That was clearly her first time, but it was so sloppy and so magical that she even doubted whether it was her that day.

It was precisely because of this hesitation that, even though she had clearly given her loyalty to Qiu Tu, she had been hesitant to contact Qiu Tu during this period of time.

Originally, she wanted to escape again, but Princess Xi's request tonight forced her into a dead end.

In fact, she had prepared herself mentally for a long time before coming here, and even gambled several times with Yanyan.

Her idea was that if she could win just one game, she wouldn't come.

As a result, Yanyan, who had always been terrible at playing cards, seemed to have had good luck tonight and beat her every time.

So she was willing to accept defeat and finally came here in disgrace.

And now, seeing the only man who had ever entered her, Ellie was a little flustered for a moment.

I didn't even know where to put my hands.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu walked over naturally, put his arm around the girl's shoulders, and then sat down with her in his arms, saying, "Why didn't you contact me during this period of time?"

Ellie: ? ?

Ellie, who was originally a little flustered, was filled with questions when she heard Qiu Tu's words that turned the tables.

She shook her twin ponytails and asked, "But you didn't contact me either."

Qiu Tu hugged her, lit a cigarette, and then said as a matter of course, "Yeah. You've seen how busy I've been lately."

Ellie's expression froze.

Qiu Tu has been really busy lately. After parting ways with me, he first went to arrest Mu Ye, then started to get promoted, and then received the diplomatic corps.

When I think about it this way, it seems like there really isn't much time.

Thinking of this, Ellie herself was a little confused for a moment.

So, I was really ignorant?
Ellie suspected that she was being pua.

However, before she could figure it out, Qiu Tu changed the subject smoothly, "By the way, why did you come to see me tonight?"

After hearing this, Ellie remembered the important matter.

She reached out and took out an envelope, handed it to Qiu Tu, and said, "This is what Princess Xi asked me to bring to you."

"She said she wanted your help with something."

"Princess Xi?" Qiu Tu actually had a premonition that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

He reached out, took the envelope, and opened it.

Inside was a small pink card, which felt heavy in the hand, not like paper but more like metal.

He picked it up, looked at it, then put it to his nose and smelled it. It had a faint scent of woman's body and milk, which smelled quite nice.

Ellie watched Qiu Tu's actions from the side and couldn't help but think of the card that was taken out from Princess Xi's ravine. Her face turned slightly red for a moment. She wanted to stop Qiu Tu's disrespectful behavior, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

As a result, at this moment, Qiu Tu's expression paused slightly, and then a hint of realization appeared on his face.

Because, just when he smelled the fragrance, a line of beautiful small words appeared on the card.

"Dream invitation: Place it next to your pillow before falling asleep. After falling asleep, you will enter the same dream, where you can talk, communicate, and interact."

Looking at the small words that appeared quietly and disappeared quickly, Qiu Tu sighed.

This princess has so many tricks.
