Ever since meeting Xiao Yu in Huguo Temple, Xiao Xuetang had begun to have some doubts about Xiao Yu.

She didn't want to confront Xiao Yu head-on, so she decided to start from Xiao Yu's whereabouts when he returned to Kyoto from Jingzhou. She had asked Lin Shu to help investigate, but there was no news yet.

Therefore, she didn't know that Xiao Yu had gone to see Xie Xuehe during the months he disappeared, and she didn't connect Xiao Yu with Southern Xinjiang.

Xiao Xuetang only knew that Xiao Yu looked at him in a very strange way, each time in a different way, and he was definitely looking for trouble again!

Xiao Yu was so angry at this point that he couldn't be any more angry. He had a stern face and didn't bother to pay attention to Xiao Xuetang.

Xiao Xuetang also snorted coldly, and then asked curiously: "But logically speaking, the Mu Palace is close to Southern Xinjiang. If the prince wants to know about Southern Xinjiang, shouldn't the princess and the prince know more about it?"

She definitely didn't mean to look down on Xiao Yu...

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Xuetang finished speaking, with a "bang", the spoon that Mu Yan had been using to scoop up the sweet soup fell to the ground...

The usually calm princess now had a somewhat flustered look on her face.

Lin Xun raised a vague smile and looked at Mu Yan, saying, "Number of people from the Tianxuan Sect in Southern Xinjiang have sneaked into Kyoto, and they can even freely enter the harem to seduce the queen. Why is it that the Snow Guards who are responsible for keeping an eye on every move in Southern Xinjiang have not sent any news to Kyoto?"

Mu Yan’s face turned slightly pale and she lowered her eyes without saying a word.

"During this visit to the capital, the princess and the prince did not mention a word about the resurgence of the Tianxuan Sect on the border of Dayin."

When she heard the three words "Tianxuan Sect", even Xiao Yunni, who was very cautious, took a breath.

The Tianxuan Sect was causing chaos on the border, but that was decades ago...

Although Xiao Yunni is young and not good at studying, she has a gossipy and positive mind.

Unlike Xiao Xuetang, who was detained in the backyard by the old lady and rarely saw guests, Xiao Yunni had a sociable mother. She made many friends in Kyoto, many of whom were from low-ranking families who were promoted to Kyoto from other places. They were eager to make friends with the noble ladies in Kyoto, and when they were together, they talked about what they had seen and heard that had never been heard of in Kyoto...

For example, the Tianxuan Sect!

Back then, Southern Xinjiang was just a small vassal state, a barbaric land that was despised by the Central Plains.

But in such a barbaric place, the Tianxuan Sect was born.

Their first leader was said to be the incarnation of a nine-headed bird in the sky. He was immortal and had the ability to reverse time and space. It was said that he was a very magical person.

Then they spread their teachings to Dayin, and even controlled dozens of cities on the border of Dayin...

At that time, the people's belief in the Tianxuan Sect reached an outrageous level. They would even sacrifice the brains of newborn babies for the messengers of the Nine-headed Bird to enjoy.

They controlled the border of Dayin for nearly decades, and even developed some officials into believers of the Nine-headed Bird. At that time, the border towns of Dayin's border defense line were almost infiltrated by the Tianxuan Sect, and Dayin was facing the danger of national destruction.

Later, the power of Tianxuan Sect infiltrated into Kyoto, and even some clan members joined the sect, which finally attracted the attention of the court.

The imperial court sent ministers to investigate, and only then did they discover all the horrific deeds of the Tianxuan Sect. They then sent a large army to wipe out the sect.

It was a long and extremely difficult war, but fortunately, Dayin's army won the final victory.

And the person who led the army to destroy the Tianxuan Sect... was the then King Tianji, Lin Xun’s biological father!

Under the deterrence of King Tianji's army, the Tianxuan Sect was finally expelled from the country, but the cancer left by the Tianxuan Sect was never completely eradicated.

This was also the reason why Xiao Xuetang desperately opposed when Lin Shaoshu was making a deal with Tianxuan Sect in his previous life.

Even though Lin Xun's existence threatens the imperial power, if the Tianxuan Sect is really allowed to rule the Central Plains, it would be like inviting a wolf into the house, and the people would suffer.

In the teachings of the Xie family, the country comes first, then the emperor, and the people come first, then the country.

"The people are the most important, the country is second, and the emperor is the least important."

Even though she, Xiao Xuetang, is just a woman and no matter how much she is blinded by Lin Shaoshu, she cannot let him use the country and the people of the world as stepping stones on his road to becoming an emperor!

In order to prevent the resurgence of the sect, King Tianji and King Mu set up the Snow Guards to keep an eye on the Tianxuan Sect's every move, and if any clues appeared, they would be wiped out immediately!

The current Snow Guards are not in the hands of Mu Yan and his sister, but in the hands of King Mu's adopted son, Mu Xingyun...

Under Lin Xun's sharp gaze, Mu Yan couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. Her knees went weak, and she said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, you know that my brother and I only know how to have fun, and we don't really know much about government affairs..."

"Regarding the matter of Tianxuan Sect, I originally wanted to report to His Majesty when I came to the capital this time. However, when I met the prince, I forgot what my brother had told me, so I... forgot to mention it."

Mu Yan tried her best to create an image of a person who was blinded by lust, and tried to look at Lin Xun with a respectful and affectionate gaze...

But facing Lin Xun's cold and sharp gaze, the smile on Mu Yan's face was even more adorable than crying...

It’s too difficult to pretend to like Lin Xun!

"Is there anything left to eat? I'm starving..."

A lazy voice sounded outside, and Qi Yusheng pushed open the door of the private room.

The first time Mu Yan looked at Qi Yusheng’s face, which was more beautiful than a woman’s, she found it so pleasing to the eye!

"Hey, Princess, you failed to confess your love to Lin Xun again, so you're crying?"

Mu Yan...

Well, this sissy is still as annoying as ever!

Qi Yusheng looked nonchalant, but in fact he was blocking Mu Yan behind him without making a sound.

Lin Xun glanced at them both with an ambiguous look and asked, "Where are the people?"

Qi Yusheng looked embarrassed and whispered, "He ran away."

"waste!"

Qi Yusheng...

According to Qi Yusheng's previous personality, even if he messed up a job, he would still talk nonsense in front of Lin Xun.

But now he seemed like a different person. He lowered his head, and listened to the lecture with an absolutely obedient look. If his subordinates saw him, they would be shocked.

Is this still their Shaoqing?

Everyone ran away, and Lin Xun was too lazy to argue with Mu Yan. He just looked at Qi Yusheng and said, "This account is on you."

Why! ! !

Qi Yusheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he dared not say anything.

Lin Xun was very satisfied with the current situation. He glanced at Mu Yan who was protected by Qi Yusheng and said meaningfully, "I hope you can give me an answer soon."

It was obvious that Mu Yan had been acting strangely during her visit to Kyoto, and was hiding something big from them. Lin Xun was too lazy to investigate, so he simply handed the task over to Qi Yusheng.

According to Qi Yusheng's character, he would always make excuses every time Lin Xun assigned him a task, but this time, for Mu Yan, he had to suffer in silence!

The two reached an agreement, and Mu Yan also felt that the invisible pressure on Lin Xun was lifted, and heaved a sigh of relief...

Only Xiao Xuetang was confused and subconsciously asked Lin Xun: "Is the Shaoqing looking for someone?"

Listening to Xiao Xuetang's question, Lin Xun's eyes turned cold. Following his gaze, he saw the private room opposite that Mu Yan had just prepared for her...
