"Don't worry, Concubine De is resting. She won't bother you."

Jun Li saw through her little tricks and immediately dispelled her concerns.

Upon hearing this, Wu Meifeng smiled with understanding, and her worries were relieved a lot.

She stared at the handsome man in front of her, her watery eyes showing a hint of teasing, and she leaned closer to him: "Your Highness, why are you visiting me so late at night? I wonder what you can do for me?"

I heard that this man was once Jiang Xue's crush, and she even caused a big uproar over him, and everyone knew about it.

I have to say that this bitch Jiang Xue does have a good eye for men. Whether it's Jun Li or Prince Gong Xiao Zhan, they are both the most handsome men in Yujing City.

If she could get both of these men under her skirt, she really wanted to see what kind of expression Jiang Xue would have.

With such thoughts in mind, the ambiguity in Wu Meifeng's eyes became even stronger.

"The Queen is very impressed with your methods. Although this plan failed, there are still many opportunities. There is no need to rush."

He came here originally to convey a message on behalf of the Queen, hoping that Wu Meifeng could cooperate with Xuan Qing and himself to help Xiao Li regain his position.

But looking at Wu Meifeng's seductive eyes, his mind changed subtly.

He let her snuggle against his chest, carefully observing the seemingly docile beauty in his arms.

She has high utilization value and a quick mind. It would be ideal if I could use her for my own benefit.

Not long after Wu Meifeng entered the palace, he sent someone to investigate her background.

This woman was born into a family of loyal generals in the Qian Kingdom. She was the legitimate daughter of the Wu family. Her father Wu Mengchuan and her brother Wu Yungui were both powerful figures! Although they could not defeat the 300,000-strong Tieyun Army together, they still had the strength of a 100,000-strong Wu family army.

If Wu Meifeng became his own, then the 100,000 Wu family soldiers would become his solid backing.

With this army, he would have the foundation to expand his power! His chances of winning against Xiao Zhan would also be greater.

"Oh? Is it only the Queen who appreciates Qin Wen? What about Prince Xichen?"

Wu Meifeng looked at Jun Li with tender eyes, and the smile on her face was both innocent and a little charming.

Jun Li looked at her, smiled knowingly, and made up his mind.

Xiao Li? Ha! If I help him regain his position, I'd be a fool! Instead of relying on him to rise, I'd rather expand my power myself.

Thinking of this, Jun Li reached out his big hands and picked up Wu Meifeng.

Walk towards the bed.

It was late at night and in the dead of night, in Prince Li's mansion, Xiao Li, who had been under house arrest for many days, was sitting in the main hall dressed in black. The tea in his hand had gone cold, but he had not taken any action yet.

He looked at the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

"Your Highness, everything is ready. The Fifth Prince Consort sent someone to inform us that Xuanqing is already in place. We just need to proceed according to the plan tomorrow."

After a long time, until midnight, a servant came hurriedly, bowed his head and reported respectfully.

"Okay!" Xiao Li finally felt relieved.

He handed the cold tea to the attendant beside him, asked for a pot of sake instead, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"After enduring such an inhuman life for so long, I am finally going to turn things around."

He smashed the empty wine glass onto the ground with force, and the rebounding fragments scratched the servant who was kneeling on the ground, but in front of Xiao Li, the servant did not dare to cry out in pain and could only endure it.

This day has finally come! Xiao Li laughed loudly towards the sky, and his almost crazy laughter made the servants in the mansion dare not raise their heads.

Xiao Zhan! I have said that when I make a comeback, your Prince Gong's Mansion will be reduced to ashes.

A cold and strange aura wafted out from Prince Li's Mansion and quietly sneaked into the courtyard of Prince Gong's Mansion.

The cold wind penetrated through the gap in her collar, and Jiang Xue couldn't help but shrink her neck.

She curled up in Xiao Zhan's arms, carefully reading the latest intelligence sent by Linglong Pavilion. The situation on the Beixi border was more serious than she had imagined.

After arriving, Zhenbei Hou did not sleep for five days.

Bandits on the border frequently invaded, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of atrocities, making the people on the border live in dire straits.

What's worse is that before the arrival of Marquis Zhenbei, local officials, in order to protect themselves, actually donated the people's food and land to the invading Beixi soldiers free of charge.

This caused the people on the border to fall into hunger and cold, aroused public anger and deep hatred for the government.

When the Marquis of Zhenbei arrived, the border had fallen into a dilemma both internally and externally.

Outside, there was an invasion by Northern Xi soldiers; inside, there was a riot among the people, leaving them in a dilemma.

Just yesterday, due to food shortage, the mob launched a rebellion, which was temporarily suppressed by the Marquis of Zhenbei using force.

"My uncle is a general on the battlefield. He has fought many battles in the south and the north, and commanding the army is his forte. But it is really difficult for him to deal with the rebellious people." Jiang Xue read the contents of the exquisite dice over and over again, and her worries grew deeper and deeper.

Using force to suppress rioting people will only exacerbate people's dissatisfaction with the court and lay the groundwork for greater hidden dangers.

If the enemy country takes advantage of this incident and incites the rioting people to fight against the Marquis of Zhenbei, then the situation of being attacked from both inside and outside will only force my uncle into a desperate situation.

If the people are harmed, Emperor Bei Ling will definitely use the excuse of failure to suppress the rebellion to take my uncle's life.

But if nothing is done, the mob will inevitably become a weapon used by the enemy country against my uncle.

Even if the enemy country does nothing and allows the mob and uncle to fight each other, it can still reap the benefits.

It seems that if the mob problem is not solved, no matter what my uncle does, it will be a dead end.

Her brows were furrowed and her eyes were full of worry.

"Don't worry so much." Seeing that she was frowning, Xiao Zhan gently smoothed her brows with his hand.

He handed her another letter: "Take a look at this, maybe it will give you some peace of mind."

This is the latest news sent by Linglong Pavilion an hour ago.

“Fifty acres of fertile farmland returned to the people?”

After reading the contents of the letter, Jiang Xue was extremely surprised and a bright smile broke out on her face.

"An anonymous knight stole the land deeds that were sold by officials to the Beixi generals from the Beixi military camp. The deeds involved a total of 50 acres of good farmland, along with some food and horse grass, and delivered them to the Zhenbei Marquis's military camp overnight.

The Marquis of Zhenbei counted the supplies and returned all the food and fertile land to the people. Now, the people's riots on the border have been brought under control. I believe that the life of the Marquis of Zhenbei will be much better in the future."

Seeing her smiling face like a flower, Xiao Zhan was happier than ever.

"Is this anonymous knight from Linglong Pavilion?" The first person she thought of was Xiao Zhan for help.

However, Xiao Zhan shook his head: "This knight is not from Linglong Pavilion. I did send people to help Zhenbei Hou calm the mob, but it takes time. The fastest way for the supplies to reach Zhenbei Hou is today.

This letter was delivered an hour ago. With Linglong Pavilion's efficiency, it would take at least three to five days from the time the incident occurred to the time the letter was written and then delivered. In other words, three to five days ago, this unknown hero had already helped us solve this problem."
