And according to people familiar with the matter, the attitude of the palace attendants who sent Li Xiaoji home was very respectful, even more so than before. It was obvious that they smelled something and did not dare to make any mistakes.

Because Emperor Meng had just woken up from a nightmare, the third prince and others did not spread the news out just in case, so no one knew the inside story of Li Xiaoji's safe passage.

Naturally, there are a lot of speculations about this. Some people think that the third prince and the prime minister are now in charge of the overall situation. It is not difficult to take the opportunity to kill a sycophant.

But why did he let Li Xiaoji go so easily? Hiss, didn't the Third Prince always dislike Li Xiaoji? Even if he didn't want to kill him for His Majesty's sake, he should still suffer a little.

What's more, the Prime Minister also put up a battle array this time. The heavy troops surrounding the Li Mansion clearly wanted Li Xiaoji to look good, so why was there so much thunder and so little rain?

The answer came soon. Emperor Meng had woken up. After careful pulse diagnosis at the Tai Hospital, it was confirmed that his health was not serious. He only needed to rest for a period of time before he could take charge of the government again.

This made everyone in Meng Guo breathe a sigh of relief, and also made those who reacted quickly smell the truth.

As soon as Li Xiaoji entered the palace, the emperor woke up. No pig would believe it if there was no connection between the two.

No wonder Li Xiaoji was safe and sound. It turned out that he had used some means to save him. For this reason, the third prince, the prime minister and others had to give him some respect no matter what.

Oh, he was so proud now. Not only could he escape from the commotion Nan Yi made, but he might also be able to reach a higher level and get a higher reward.

Everyone guessed correctly. On the third day after Li Xiaoji returned home, the imperial edict came. Emperor Meng generously named him the hereditary "Anlehou". The fiefdom, salary, etc. were all based on the prince's status.

Li Xiaoji holds the title of marquis and enjoys the treatment of a prince. After all, he is the first marquis awarded by this generation of emperors, so his weight is not unimportant.

It really shocked people. After they calmed down, they had different thoughts. Some were jealous, some were worried, but no one wished him well.

Some people even worshiped gods and Buddhas privately, hoping that one day Li Xiaoji would be in bad luck.

Ignoring the noise from the outside world and holding the imperial edict, Li Xiaoji smiled broadly. He did not hide his complacency at all, and acted like a villain.

Someone with good intentions told Emperor Meng about Li Xiaoji's ugly and troublesome face. He was degrading him both inside and outside of his words. He wished that the emperor would take it into his heart and take away the title that Li Xiaoji had just obtained.

But Emperor Meng smiled after hearing this, and said with a hint of doting: "This monkey boy is always very moody, so don't reward me with a big reward. Let's see how happy he is."

"..." Upon seeing this, the person who was trying to stir up trouble was surprised for a moment. After reacting, he immediately realized that he had done something stupid and had to lower his head to reduce his presence.

After all, listening to the emperor's wishes, he seemed to feel that Li Xiaoji was still a little wronged by such a generous reward. In the next step, might he really want to make Li Xiaoji the king?

If so, then Li Xiaoji is the one person they cannot move or touch right now, and can only be friends with him.

I thought so, but deep down I couldn't help but feel aggrieved for the favor Li Xiaoji had received. How could this villain be able to rise to prominence, while Jane in the Emperor's Heart would trample them firmly under his feet?

Isn't it just donating blood to help the emperor wake up? Oh, they didn't know it at the time, but if they were there, they must have been vying to donate blood. How could it be Li Xiaoji's turn to claim this credit?

No matter what the courtiers thought, after this incident, Emperor Meng had a little more trust in Li Xiaoji, but this still could not change his decision to kill him after the incident was completed.

It was just that he could give the other party the honor after his death, posthumously make him a king, bury him with the rites of a prince, and let Li Xiaoji walk away in glory. In this way, he could be considered worthy of the other party's efforts.

The third prince didn't know what his father was thinking, but he was immersed in the joy that his father was safe and sound. His mood also improved a lot, and it was rare for him to laugh when he saw others.

People who respect the third prince and care about the country will only be happy when they see this. The harmonious relationship between the emperor and the potential prince is a blessing to the country.

People with dark minds who tried to mess with the imperial power felt that the third prince was pretentious, disguised as sex.

When Emperor Meng returned to the court, the third prince breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the eldest princess, he wrote a letter to him, inviting him back to the imperial city to attend the banquet celebrating the emperor's awakening.

The eldest princess was currently wandering around "Hopeless" and did not act out of caution.

After receiving the letter from the third prince, the eldest princess understood that it was time for her to leave, so she ordered Luo Jin and others to continue to monitor the movements here, while she went to the imperial city with a group of people.

When the Meng Kingdom fell into chaos due to the emperor's coma, the eldest princess and others seized the opportunity to take action. They arrived with an unknown whereabouts and an unknown destination, as if they were just wandering around.

It gave the person in charge of surveillance a headache, but when he could keep up with the schedule, he didn't notice anything strange and didn't pay much attention to it.

They just report the eldest princess's route truthfully and see what the superiors give them. They just follow the orders.

At this time, the order in the Meng Kingdom was completely restored to normal. The eldest princess could no longer easily wander around the territory of the Meng Kingdom, so she chose to use herself as bait to attract most of the attention and facilitate the actions of Luo Jin and others.

When the eldest princess was about to leave for the imperial city, Li Xiaoji, who had just become Anlehou, held a series of banquets to celebrate, as if he was afraid that others would not know how happy he was.

Those who were hostile to him just watched with cold eyes, waiting for the day when Li Xiaoji fell heavily from a high place. When that day came, they would definitely beat gongs and drums, and it would be a lively event.

But what is surprising is that the third prince also went to Li Xiaoji's banquet, gave him a generous gift, and treated him with a very affectionate attitude, as if the relationship had always been very good.

This sudden change left some people confused. Is it possible that Li Xiaoji's use of blood as a guide suddenly captured the hearts of the current and future emperors of Meng?

When Nan Yi heard the news, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Li Xiaoji's approach was indeed correct. He had won the trust of Emperor Meng and the third prince, and with his elevated status, he could naturally save her.

The system looked at Nan Yi taking it for granted and didn't want to say anything. Hehe, it still expected Li Xiaoji? They had used her to climb to a high position and secure their favor, so how could they care about her life or death?

As expected by the system, Li Xiaoji did not mention Nanyi to Emperor Meng in the month after becoming Anlehou, and Emperor Meng never thought of her.

Nan Yi seemed to be forgotten in the side hall. Everyone was happy for Emperor Meng's recovery, and even more disturbed by Li Xiaoji's rise. They forgot about the culprit.

One day, two days and three days... Nan Yi was impatient to wait. What on earth was Li Xiaoji doing? Why didn't he rescue her yet?

The system promptly told her what Li Xiaoji had been doing during this period. Now that he had become a Marquis, a new rich man in the imperial city, he was too busy making connections, so how could he have time to talk to her?

Nan Yi didn't believe it, but even if he did, he still felt that Li Xiaoji was making an effort to rescue her, and he must establish a relationship first before putting pressure on Emperor Meng.

Therefore, Nan Yi calmed down and persuaded herself to wait patiently, but as time passed, her little patience soon ran out.

He couldn't lie to himself anymore. If Li Xiaoji had meant it, he would have taken her out long ago. Why put it off again and again? Don't talk about the overall situation or the difficulties, she has really had enough of these so-called excuses.

Thinking of the injustice she had suffered during this period, Nan Yi finally recognized part of the reality. It is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. The system has come back, so what is she afraid of?
