"When will the master return to the South?"

Yan Li came back to his senses and drank another sip of tea quietly: "How is the situation in the South?"

"With His Royal Highness the Phoenix King and His Royal Highness the Feather King here, the court is temporarily stable." Tian Shu replied, "On the ninth day after the master's accident, the Prime Minister proposed to establish another king, but was opposed by His Royal Highness the Phoenix King and the Feather King. The high priest bluntly said that your majesty's eternal lamp has not been extinguished and the emperor has not returned yet, so he does not support the establishment of a new emperor."

Yan Li lowered his eyes, his eyes were deep: "Who are the prime minister's sons close to?"

"Prince Xiao." As one of the four shadow guards around the empress, Tian Shu had already checked the information that the master needed to know before coming to find the master. "After the high priest rejected the prime minister's proposal, three groups of assassins broke into the priest's hall, all with the purpose of destroying your majesty's eternal lamp, but all three times ended in failure."

As expected.

Yan Li's eyes were filled with coldness, and she exerted a little force on the hand holding the teacup.

The prime minister she promoted should have long been loyal to his true master, and for his loyalty, he was willing to kill the king and rebel.

Unfortunately, he misjudged his own strength.

Her Majesty, who was trained as the Son of Heaven since childhood, has many trusted advisers around her, and is loyally assisted by the eldest son of the emperor and the priests. It is simply a fantasy for him to want to establish a new emperor with just his tricks.

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Li calmed down and said calmly: "I'm going to Prince Yu's Mansion tonight, you guys come with me."

"Yes."

"You've come all the way here, you've worked hard." Yan Li ordered, "Go out and have something to eat, and have a good rest for half an hour."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

After the four left, Yan Li sat alone in front of the window for a while. From the first time she summoned the Saker Falcon, she had no intention of hiding her identity - several confidants and close people around the Southern Kingdom all knew that the Empress's favorite Saker Falcon.

The Saker Falcon is a divine eagle, and its nature is unruly and difficult to tame. The white Saker Falcon is a king picked from thousands of miles away. No one can drive it except the Empress.

So even though Yan Li's appearance and identity are different now, after receiving her letter, the four people in Tianshu are still sure that she is the former master.

There is no doubt at all.

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

After dinner, Yan Li went into the inner room and changed into a nightgown. She took off the pearl hairpins on her head one by one, and tied her hair up high in front of the mirror, looking neat and capable.

Her slender body was wrapped in a black nightgown, and her clean and tender face had a few more youthful heroic spirits.

Yan Li stood in front of the mirror, slowly put on a black face scarf, revealing only a pair of beautiful and cold eyes, then turned and walked to the back window, pushed open the window, jumped out neatly, and quickly blended into the night.

It was time for Prince Yu's Mansion to rest at this time.

In addition to socializing with some nobles every day, Prince Yu did not have much business to do. Mu Xuan, the dandy, was even more idle. He either visited brothels or spent a lot of money in gambling houses. The money was spent like water, and the family assets of Prince Yu's Mansion were emptied early.

Tonight was no exception.

Before the marriage, he used the 10,000 taels of silver given by Gu Anxian to pay off his debts. After the marriage, Gu Anxian brought a generous dowry, which made it much easier for Mu Xuan to get the money. Mu Xuan didn't consider whether his wife's dowry would be embarrassing.

He only knew that if he got the money, he could continue to enjoy the happiness of spending money lavishly and the luxury of being surrounded by beauties, which was a happiness far beyond the couple's respect for each other.

So after the marriage, Gu Anxian had been alone in the empty room for three consecutive days.

Under the cover of four shadow guards, Yan Li quietly avoided the guards on duty in Prince Yu's Mansion and came to the outside of Gu Anxian's house.
