Su Qingchi walked slowly on the gravel path in the garden: "Oh."

"Chichi, aren't you surprised?"

"Why should I be surprised?" Su Qingchi looked at the small wild flowers that popped up on the roadside, thinking about picking one to give to Yue Cibie, and replied: "I deliberately lifted the shielding barrier that I had opened before. If Lin Li still doesn't know where I am, then he doesn't need to be the national teacher anymore."

Xiao Qi became even more uneasy after hearing this: "But Chi Chi, you haven't transformed yet. It will be troublesome if Lin Li and the others find you. And Yue Ci will also be implicated."

Su Qingchi plucked a bunch of wild flowers and placed them on his head: "How do you know I can't transform now? I just haven't found the right time yet. And I heard that there are a lot of delicious food at the palace banquet, so I want to prepare for the banquet."

Xiao Qi was upset when he heard this: "You just want to eat."

“Being able to eat is a blessing!”

Seeing Su Qingchi like this, Xiao Qi stopped caring about him: "Forget it, just be sensible. But Chichi, Li Cu and the others have already arrived at the gate of the palace."

"understood."

Li Cu's arrival was so sudden that the housekeeper was a little unprepared. He quickly sent someone to the military camp to call Yue Ci back. Then he welcomed the two into the mansion and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is still in the military camp. Please take a rest in the main hall. I have sent someone to notify the prince."

He originally planned to arrange Li Cu and Lin Li in the main hall, but Li Cu went straight to the backyard and said as he walked: "It's okay, I haven't been to the Regent Palace for a long time, and I want to take a stroll. You go and do your thing."

Although he said so, the butler didn't dare to leave just like that. He still lowered his head and followed Li Cu and the others.

Li Cu was not in a hurry and started shopping as soon as he said he would.

He believed in Agasa, and the Regent's Palace had long been surrounded by the Royal Secret Guards. The fox would die whether he escaped or not.

And...didn't the regent say that he didn't catch the fox? But the fox was in his house. It seemed that the regent couldn't escape the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Li Cu and Lin Li were walking casually. Suddenly, Lin Li pulled Li Cu's sleeve. Li Cu lowered his head and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Lin Li shook his head and signaled Li Cu to look towards the side of the path.

Li Cu followed Lin Li's line of sight and found a pit there, which looked like it had been dug by someone.

His eyes dimmed, and he looked at the housekeeper with a half-smile: "Who takes care of the lawn in the Prince Regent's Palace? The work is not done carefully, and there is such a big dirt pit. How about I select the maids who take care of the imperial garden from the palace and give them to the Prince Regent?"

The housekeeper quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the prince is rarely in the mansion, so the servants are inevitably a little lax. I will send them away today. As for the maid, I cannot make the decision. Please discuss it with the prince."

Li Cu snorted coldly. Send him away? He was the one being sent away, right? Wasn't it because they were afraid that he would plant someone else there?

Suddenly he felt a flash of white passing by in front of his eyes. Lin Li also noticed it. The two looked at each other and chased in the direction where the white disappeared.

The housekeeper watched the two people leave in the direction of their own prince's courtyard, and became more and more anxious. Why didn't the prince come back? It would be bad if the fox was discovered.

He was extremely anxious, but he had to remain calm and followed Li Cu to Yue Ci's yard.

Although the butler's legs were about to break from walking, he was still too old to keep up with Li Cu's pace.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Li Cu had already entered the yard and was about to push the door.

The butler didn't even have time to catch his breath before he hurried forward: "Your Majesty, this is the prince's bedroom, there's no need to visit it, right?"

When Li Cu saw the butler's expression, he felt more and more that the fox was in the room.

He looked at the housekeeper coldly: "I just saw a white fox enter this room. When did the Regent raise a white fox? How come I didn't know about it?"

The butler bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the prince has never kept a white fox. If the prince really did keep one, given his loyalty, he would have given it to Your Majesty."

"Oh? Really?" Li Cu sneered: "So you mean there's something wrong with my eyes?"

"I don't dare, old slave."

Li Cu looked away from the housekeeper: "Come here, open the door for me. If it is true that I am blinded, I will definitely compensate the Regent. If not... the Regent is probably guilty of deceiving the emperor."

Just as the people led by Li Cu were about to step forward, Yue Ci's voice rang out from the courtyard gate: "Your Majesty, why are you not waiting for me in the front hall? What are you doing in my courtyard?"

As soon as Yue Ci received the news, he rushed back as fast as he could. He was relieved to see that Li Cu had not found the little fox yet.

Li Cu looked at Yue Ci with a gloomy face: "I found a white fox in your house, and even the Imperial Master said that there is the scent of a white fox in your house. Regent, won't you explain it to me?"

Yue Ci's face was calm: "Your Majesty, there is no white fox in my house."

"Whether there is one or not, I will know if I search for it."

Seeing that Li Cu's men were about to push open the door, the people behind Yue Ci immediately stepped forward to stop them.

Li Cu looked at the scene in front of him with anger in his eyes: "Yue Ci! Are you going to rebel?!"

Yue Ci bowed his head: "I dare not. But the late emperor once issued an order that unless there is solid evidence to prove my guilt, no one can search the Regent's Palace, including you."

Li Cu remembered that his father did have such an order, and he became even angrier: "Aren't the words of the Imperial Master evidence?!"

"Your Majesty should have heard that people's words are scary!"

"You!" Li Cu raised his hand and pointed at Yue Ci, then swung it down. His sleeve, with Li Cu's anger, rubbed across Yue Ci's face, leaving a red mark. Yue Ci didn't even frown, but just stood there with his head bowed.

Seeing his expression, Li Cu gnashed his teeth and said, "I will search this room today!"

As soon as Li Cu's men finished speaking, they were about to move forward. Yue Ci finally frowned. At this moment, the door opened by itself, and a timid voice sounded: "Who... are you?"

When Li Cu was confronting Yue Ci, his back was facing the door. When he heard the voice, he turned around and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw the person.

Yue Ci looked over and stood there in a daze for a moment.

Standing inside the door was a boy of about nineteen years old. He had fair skin and wore a red dress that was loose on his body, with one side about to fall off his shoulder. His black hair was scattered behind his head and down to his calves. His beautiful fox eyes were filled with the confusion of someone who had just woken up, and the red at the corners of his eyes added a bit of charm to him.

Yue Ci thought of the little fox in his dream, and it was exactly the same as the person in front of him.

The young man looked around at the people outside the door. When he saw Yue Ci, his eyes lit up. He turned and went back into the house, then ran out again immediately, handing Yue Ci a small bouquet of wild flowers: "Ci Ci, this is for you. I was strolling in the garden today and picked it especially for you."
