Chapter 9

I don't know how long it took, Xiahou Shiyi came out of Fengxi Palace with a very complicated mood.

The high priest is more famous and prestige than the emperor, and it is normal for the emperor to fear him, but it is a bit... ungrateful for him to let himself monitor the high priest?
After all, the high priest did her a favor...although he also teased her by the way.

If it was just her alone, she could completely refuse, wandering the world alone and gaining a sense of style and ease, but she couldn't, since she accepted this body, she accepted everything about her, apart from her, the Zhennanhou Mansion There is also Xiahou Qinghan, the elder brother in this body, who immediately sent someone to bring her the elder brother of the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin after learning that she was ordered by the queen to enter the palace.

Because of this friendship, Xiahou Shiyi couldn't easily leave the other party alone.

Forget it, let's accept this task for the time being. Accepting this task is equivalent to having the protection of the dog emperor. She has offended the prince now, so it would be great to have this layer of protection!
However, Xiahou Shiyi still has the most basic principles. She still remembers the things that the High Priest of Jiuqing helped her. Naturally, she will not be ungrateful and will repay her kindness.

She promised the dog emperor that it was good, but she didn't say when it would be completed.

Then, she tried to find a way to drag this matter on until the day when the dog emperor could no longer threaten her.

Thinking of the High Priest of Jiuqing, Xia Hou Shiyi couldn't help feeling sorry for that man for some reason, and worried about his situation.

That man, with a noble status, seemed to be superior, but he didn't know that the king of a country had become suspicious of him and wanted to get rid of him quickly.

Xia Hou Shiyi walked out of the palace with such a heavy heart.

"Xiahou Shiyi, stop for me."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind her.The owner of that voice, which Xiahou Shiyi recognized, belonged to Zhong Liye.

Xia Hou Shiyi ignored the owner of the voice, but continued walking forward.

She really doesn't want to deal with these cats and dogs now.

"Xiahou Shiyi, are you deaf? I tell you to stop."

Xiahou Shiyi still ignored that person, walking forward unhurriedly like a normal person.

Seeing that Xiahou Shiyi didn't save himself any face in front of so many palace people, Zhong Liye was furious, raised his palm and struck at Xiahou Shiyi.

Xia Hou Shiyi turned sideways, avoiding Zhong Liye's palm.

Zhong Liye's palm missed, and he immediately changed his hand to attack Xiahou Shiyi.

However, Xiahou Shiyi's movements were faster, and he shot quickly, catching Zhong Liye's hands that were attacking him. At the same time, his right foot slid between Zhong Liye's legs, and his knee was just in Zhong Liye's important position.

This series of actions is done in one go.

Xiahou Shiyi leaned forward slightly, put his lips close to Zhong Liye's ear, and said softly in a voice that only two people could hear:

"Why, is His Royal Highness trying to kill someone to silence him?"

The movements of the two of them were so fast that no one saw them fighting at all.Coupled with the cover of the cloak, everyone couldn't see the situation inside clearly.

And all they saw was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince called to stop Miss Xiahou, and then rushed up to hug Xiahou Shiyi.

"Xiahou Shiyi, you shameless woman." Xiahou Shiyi pushed him there, he was startled at first, and then a burst of embarrassment followed.

Looking at Xia Hou Shiyi's eyes was even more disgusting.

It was also at this time that Zhong Liye remembered the scene where Xiahou Shiyi fought against the guards of the high priest of Jiuqing in the morning at the gate of the city. Before that, he only thought that Xiahou Shiyi was lucky and escaped the blow because of an accident. Yes, now, he doesn't think so.

If it was really just luck, then it would be impossible for Xia Hou Shiyi to coerce him now.

"I don't need His Royal Highness to care about me, don't forget, I have already given His Royal Highness a letter of divorce." Xiahou Shiyi said mockingly.

"You..." Thinking of the scene where Xia Hou Shiyi gave him a divorce letter at the gate of the city this morning, Zhong Liye became furious, and the flames all over his body shot up.

"Why, His Royal Highness is getting angry from embarrassment." Xia Hou Shiyi said with a light smile.

"Xiahou Shiyi, let me go." When Zhong Liye said this, he had already prepared countermeasures.

At any rate, he also has a cultivation base of the first level of the green rank. He gave Xiahou Shiyi the upper hand when he was unprepared before, but now the blow he was fully prepared for pushed Xiahou Shiyi away, and he He also retreated out of Xia Hou Shiyi's attack range.

Xiahou Shiyi, who was pushed a few feet away, did not show any surprise, as if she had expected this to happen a long time ago.

She smiled lightly and said to Zhong Liye:
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has no other orders, the servant girl will leave."

Xiahou Shiyi didn't salute either, but turned and left after saying such a sentence.

"Xiahou Shiyi, why did my father see you alone?" Looking at Xiahou Shiyi's back, Zhong Liye seemed to remember his purpose for coming here.

Hearing this, the corners of Xia Hou Shiyi's mouth curled up slightly, showing a very mocking smile. It seems that the news that the emperor saw her alone has already spread, otherwise, Zhong Liye would not have come to ask her eagerly.

You know, she is the last person Zhong Liye wants to see right now.

"Does Your Highness want to know?" Xia Hou Shiyi turned around slowly, looked at Zhong Liye with a smile and said.

"10 taels, give me 10 taels of gold and I will tell you."

"You!" It was like a lion opening his mouth, Zhong Liye was angry, he had never met such a righteous person who blackmailed him.

"Why, if His Highness doesn't want to, that's fine." Xiahou Shiyi smiled sweetly: "You know, even if Your Highness goes to Yuewen Tower and spends 50 taels of gold, he might not know about this news."

Yuewenlou is the largest organization for buying and selling news in Canglan Continent.

Because of this information, except for her, Xiahou Shiyi, only the emperor knew about it, and it was impossible for the emperor to say it on his own initiative. So, as long as she was not Xiahou Shiyi, no one would ever know about it.

After Xiahou Shiyi finished speaking, she turned around and left without moving her head. She didn't seem to worry at all that Zhong Liye would not agree to her conditions.

"Wait, I promise you." Seeing that Xia Hou Shiyi didn't show any hesitation, Zhong Liye became a little anxious, and quickly called Xia Hou Shiyi.

Hearing this, Xia Hou Shiyi turned around slowly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his right hand towards Zhong Liye.

"Bring it here." The slender fingers, the skin that can be broken by blows, is fair and pleasant, making people's hearts move when they see it.

"What..." Zhong Liye shook his head slightly, suppressing the unknown emotion in his heart, and asked in bewilderment.I don't understand what tricks Xia Hou Shiyi is playing.

"Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. If your Highness wants to know the news, you have to show a little sincerity." Xia Hou Shiyi still looked at Zhong Liye with a slight smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Could it be that His Highness wants to be an empty-handed white wolf, and has no plans to give money to the minister!?"

"Xiahou Shiyi, who do you take me to be?" How could he be the crown prince of the Zhongli Kingdom, so he could not keep his word.

"For others, it's hard to say, but for you, Your Highness, Shiyi is true..." Xia Hou Shiyi raised his index finger and shook it, obviously not trusting Zhong Liye.

"Xiahou Shiyi, don't deceive people too much." Zhong Liye blushed with anger, he understood what Xiahou Shiyi meant, she couldn't trust him.

"Your Highness, I advise you to give the money first, otherwise you won't be able to get any news from the courtier." Xia Hou Shiyi didn't bother to care about Zhong Liye's current expression.

Zhong Liye took a deep breath, suppressed the anger that was about to burst out of his heart, took off the jade pendant from his waist, and threw it to Xiahou Shiyi, saying:
"This is a token. You can take it to the Prince's Mansion to withdraw money at any time." If he didn't want to know what the father said to this bitch, he would be unwilling to stay with this idiot for a second longer. of.

"His Royal Highness is so easy to find, so there will be nothing left." Xiahou Shiyi stretched out his hand to catch the milky white dragon pattern and pendant, and said lightly.

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhong Liye said impatiently, his attitude towards Xia Hou Shiyi was as disgusting as he wanted.

"His Royal Highness, come here with your ears." Xia Hou Shiyi hooked his fingers towards Zhong Liye and pointed.

Zhong Liye frowned, and looked at Xia Hou Shiyi suspiciously, this bitch wanted to take the opportunity to get close to him again! ?

Who is Xiahou Shiyi, he can see Zhong Liye's mind clearly, a deep contempt flashed in his eyes and said:
"Your Highness, don't worry. I'm not interested in stallions. It's just a matter of great importance. It would be bad if others listen to it."

She couldn't guarantee what the original owner was like, but she dared to swear that even if Zhong Liye was the only man left in the world, she wouldn't be interested in a scumbag like Zhong Liye.

Zhong Liye looked suspiciously at Xiahou Shiyi, saw that her eyes were clear, without the obsession of the past, and thought to herself: Could it be that this idiot has really changed, or is it just her scheme again, wanting to play hard to get?
After thinking about it, Xiahou Shiyi's exchange was not unreasonable. The emperor left Xiahou Shiyi alone. What he said must be confidential, and it would be inappropriate if someone listened to it.

He resisted the doubts in his heart, and walked slowly towards Xiahou Shiyi, but the vigilance in his eyes did not diminish at all.

Of course, Xia Hou Shiyi saw this, but now she didn't have so much experience to care about so much.

"The emperor said that I am still young and easily impulsive. The marriage between me and His Highness was arranged by the elders, and tokens have already been exchanged. Therefore, the divorce letter at the gate of the city does not count. He wants me to go back and make preparations to marry the prince tomorrow." government affairs."

Xia Houshi whispered in Zhong Liye's ear.
