Chapter 96
There is only one man beside the princess now, that is Chihiro, but the man opposite him is not like the rumored Lord Chihiro.With his current status, he doesn't have the opportunity to contact other high-level executives, but he only knows Xiang'er who is in charge of this area.

It can be heard that Master Qianxun has a cold personality, exuding an attitude of not being close to strangers all over his body, and looking at the man sitting across from him, he looks like a scholar.

But apart from Chihiro, there is no one else in the capital who can be on par with Xiang'er, or even a head taller than her, so Xiao Er is getting more and more confused, wondering if the rumors are wrong.

Xiang'er looked at his bewildered expression, and turned cold: "The identity of this young master is beyond your control. He came from elsewhere to accept the princess' secret mission."

Xiao Er broke out in a cold sweat, quickly lowered his head, stopped looking at Xi Yan, and replied respectfully: "Yes!"

Seeing his calm expression, Xiang'er nodded secretly, and asked seriously: "Let me ask you, have all the people in Ji's mansion been taken away? Has anyone else entered Ji's mansion after being taken away?"

Xiaoer replied: "All of them were taken away, and there were special civil servants to record and confirm their identities. Those servants in Ji's mansion were all given two taels of silver and sent back to their original places. All members of the Ji clan were arrested and sent to heaven. Prison. The quarter's mansion is surrounded by imperial guards, except for those in the imperial court who have counted their property records and filed records, no abnormal person has entered the quarter's mansion."

"Um",
Xiang'er nodded in satisfaction, took a look at Zhao Xiyan, and then waved to the little girl: "Send people to continue to monitor the Ji Mansion, and send additional people to guard outside the prison. If someone robs the prison, don't show up to stop it. Hurry up and lure a large number of guards outside the dungeon, continue to observe in the dark, and pay special attention to Ji Xiaofu, well, that's all, you go down and make arrangements!"

Xiaoer picked up the tea that was on the table and put it on the tray, walked out with a bow, and closed the door smoothly.

As soon as he left, Xiang'er approached Xi Yan and asked, "Princess, is there anything strange about the Ji Mansion?"

Xi Yan glanced at her, then turned her head to look out of the window, and said lightly, "Why are you not half as smart as Luo Yu? Why did Ji Wu withhold the booklet privately? Do you believe that it is because of greed? I don't think the private withholding is a guarantee What's the benefit? He did that, either because someone paid him enough, or he was doing something for someone. As for which kind it is, you can see if anyone visits the Jifu at night or robs the prison wantonly, but... The possibility of him becoming an abandoned child is not ruled out."

Xiang'er seemed to understand a little bit, but she felt relieved when she thought that her own princess was already worrying about it, so she asked: "Princess, it's already noon, are you still going back to the palace?"

Xiyan glanced at her coolly: "What's the rush? Liu Ruyue will only enter the palace in the afternoon, and she won't see me when she enters the palace. Order someone to serve the food, and return to the palace after eating!"

"Yes!" Xiang'er resigned to her fate and walked out.

They still didn't go back to the palace after dinner, Xi Yan went to Lichun Courtyard for a tour, and did not return to the palace until the sun had already set.

As soon as she returned to the palace, Xiyan immediately took off her robe and put on her inner garment and got under the quilt. Xiang'er quickly changed her clothes, packed everything and went to the outer hall, opened the door, and there were two maids standing at the door. He whispered to one of them, "The empress is already awake, go and call Lingxi over, and then have someone prepare to wash the empress."

"Yes!"

The maid trotted away immediately after receiving the order.

Xiang'er looked at her retreating back, turned around and entered the inner hall.
