Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

Murong Yue and Zhong Limo both felt a little nervous after learning that Zhong Liyuan was about to return to Fengnan Country. They knew that Zhong Liyuan's return would inevitably cause a series of disturbances and changes. But they also understood that this was an indispensable part of their plan.

Murong Yue said to Zhongli Mo, "Mo, we have to be prepared. Once Zhongli Yuan returns, he will definitely go to the Prince's Mansion to check the fake jade box. We must ensure that he will not find any flaws, and at the same time, we must be prepared to deal with various reactions that he may have."

Zhong Limo nodded and said in a deep voice: "I have arranged the personnel. If Zhong Liyuan makes any move, we will be able to know it quickly. I will also go to the Prince's Mansion to observe secretly to ensure that everything goes well."

Murong Yue looked at Zhongli Mo with gratitude. She knew how important it was to have such a trustworthy partner in this world full of conspiracies and struggles. She said softly, "Thank you, Mo. We will work together and we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty."

Zhongli Mo smiled slightly, with a determined light in his eyes: "Yes, Yue'er. We will succeed."

The two smiled at each other, and their trust and tacit understanding deepened. They knew that the days ahead would be full of challenges and dangers, but they also believed that as long as they worked hand in hand and faced it together, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

A few days later, Zhongli Yuan was brought back by people sent by the Emperor of Fengnan Kingdom, and the Princess Murong Xue of Beiyue Kingdom also returned with him.

As soon as Zhongli Yuan got off the carriage, he saw Zhongli Mo waiting at the palace gate. His eyes were cold, without any joy of reunion after a long separation.

Zhongli Mo forced a smile and went to greet him. "Brother, you are finally back."

Zhongliyuan nodded calmly, "Well, I'm back."

After saying that, he walked straight into the palace, leaving Zhongli Mo standing there with a lonely look on his face.

Zhongli Yuan came to the imperial study and met the emperor. Zhongli Shiyan asked him about his situation in Beiyue, and Zhongli Yuan answered his questions one by one.

"I heard that you met Murong Xue in Beiyue Kingdom, and she saved you?" Zhongli Shiyan suddenly asked.

Zhong Liyuan's heart tightened, "Yes, I did meet her."

"Oh? How is she now?" Zhongli Shiyan continued to ask.

"She...she's fine, and she came back with me." Zhongli Yuan was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should tell Emperor Murong Xue the truth.

Zhongli Shiyan frowned slightly, "Since she saved you, why don't you bring her back to the palace? I want to thank her properly."

Zhongli Yuan lowered his head and remained silent. He didn't know how to explain to the emperor.

At this time, the eunuch beside Zhongli Shiyan walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Murong Xue of Beiyue is now resting in the inn outside the palace."

Zhongli Shiyan glanced at him and said, "Okay, let's summon her tomorrow. Yuan'er, you just came back, so you should rest early."

Zhongli Yuan responded and stepped back, leaving the imperial study.

At night, Zhongli Yuan was in the room thinking about what happened during the day.

Zhong Liyuan sat at the desk in the room, tapping his fingers lightly on the tabletop, his mind racing. Murong Xue, the princess who accidentally saved his life in Beiyue, disrupted his original plan. The emperor's attention to her made him feel a little uneasy.

He knew that Murong Xue was not a simple person, and that the power of North Vietnam was behind her. His plan involved important matters between the two countries, and if he was not careful, it would cause an uproar.

Zhong Liyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that the most important thing now was to find out Murong Xue's true intentions and her influence on his plans.

At this moment, there was a slight noise outside the window. Zhong Liyuan immediately became alert. He walked to the window and gently opened it. He saw a black shadow flash by and disappear into the night.

Zhong Liyuan's heart tightened. He knew that this was definitely not an ordinary assassin or thief. In the palace, someone who could approach his room so quietly must be a master.

He immediately called his personal guards and asked them to step up their alert. He also changed into night clothes and prepared to investigate personally.

Zhongli Yuan followed the direction where the shadow disappeared and soon came to a remote corner of the palace. He saw a carriage parked there, with a masked man sitting in the carriage, it was Shi Qi.

"Uncle, what are you doing here? Why did you go to the palace in person to bring me out? Is there something wrong?" Zhong Liyuan asked in surprise when he saw that the person in the carriage was Shi Qi.

After hearing this, Shi Qi asked, "Did you go to your mansion when you returned to Beijing this time?"

Zhong Liyuan was shocked. "No, I just came back. Father asked me to stay in the palace for one night and go back tomorrow. But did something happen in my house?"

"You can go back and check quietly. There may be some extra things in your house. Also, Zhongli Mo has sent someone to put a fake jade box in your residence. When you go back tomorrow, it's best to pretend that you don't know that the jade box is fake, otherwise you might alert the enemy," said Shi Qi.

Zhong Liyuan frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your reminder, uncle. I will handle it carefully. However, should I inform my father about this?"

Shi Qi shook his head: "Don't make it public for now, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. You should wait and see what Zhong Limo is planning. I will investigate secretly and notify you once I find any clues."

Zhong Liyuan nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you, uncle."

The next morning, Zhongli Yuan said goodbye to the emperor and returned to his own prince's residence. He did as Shi Qi said and quietly checked, and indeed found something strange. He thought to himself: "Zhongli Mo, what tricks are you playing?"

In the Prince's Mansion, Zhongli Yuan immediately saw the jade box placed in a prominent position. He pretended to be nonchalant and walked over to carefully observe every detail of the jade box. He noticed that although this jade box looked the same as the real one, he could still find some subtle differences if he looked closely.

Zhongli Yuan sneered in his heart, he knew that this was a trap set by Zhongli Mo and Murong Yue to test him. However, he did not reveal any flaws, instead pretending to be very interested in the jade box and asked the people next to him about the jade box.

The person next to him didn't know it was a fake jade box, so he answered truthfully: "This is a treasure bestowed by His Majesty on the Crown Prince. It has been placed there since His Royal Highness left. Does His Royal Highness feel there is something wrong with it?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. It just looks very clean, without even a speck of dust." Zhongli Yuan said with a smile.

When the people around heard this, they immediately apologized: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I just forgot that this jade box was wiped by Yuhuan, the maid who usually cleans Your Highness's room."
