Chapter 181 Xiangling with ulterior motives
Qin Wang Zhao Defang was ordered to go to Shandong Road to investigate the corruption case of river management project, and led 1,200 Mo Yunqi guards and 16 shadow guards to Shandong.
After the news came out, the court officials involved in the case were terrified and nervous, and each sent their trusted aides to rush to Shandong Road to inform the local officials involved in the case in advance.
The ministers with guilty consciences were secretly complaining. Your Majesty, don't you understand that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish? There is no official in this world who is not greedy. As long as they are capable of doing things for you, shouldn't you turn a blind eye and help each other?
The foolish King of Qin hated corrupt officials to the core, and he was ruthless and cruel when he took action. The emperor was able to use this sharp knife well, but these officials who were full of fat intestines were in trouble!
The imperial court, which had just calmed down after the spread of the smallpox plague in the palace, showed signs of undercurrents again...
Mo Yan was still the one left in the Qin Palace to be in charge of guarding. As the princess's personal bodyguard, Mo Ming was even more vigilant and never left the princess' side.
Luo Li didn't feel any danger. The emperor wanted to deal with the King of Qin, and was using the King of Qin as a sharp knife to cut off corruption. He shouldn't lay a hand on the people in the King of Qin's mansion at this time.
What's more, she is a harmless and silly princess and poses no threat to the imperial power.
Zhao Wuji missed the Imperial Aunt and Mu Xiu so much that he pestered his mother to send someone to deliver a letter to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, hoping to meet with the Imperial Aunt and spend a few days together.
Luo Li also missed little Wu Ji, this smart and lovely little guy. Thinking that there were too many spies in the palace of Prince Qin, it would be too risky to bring Wu Ji to live in the palace, so she ordered Hong Gu and Yu Li to take Wu Ji to the hot spring villa outside the city to reunite.
Luo Li took Tingting and Siyu, as well as Mo Ming and Ni Shan'er, and under the protection of four palace shadow guards, they first got on a carriage to pick up Mu Xiu from the farm in the west of the city, and then turned around and headed for the hot spring villa in the south of the city.
When Wu Ji heard that the emperor's aunt had sent someone to pick him up, he jumped for joy and ran out of the house.
"Young master, do you miss Sister Yuli? The young lady sent me to pick you up." When Yuli saw Xiao Wuji, she greeted him with a smile.
: "Don't come over here!... I won't go with you!" When the excited Xiao Wuji saw Yuli, he was so scared that he turned around and ran back.
Princess Wei walked out of the house and stood under the eaves. She pulled her son aside in surprise and asked, "Wuji, Yuli is lively and lovely. Don't you like playing with her the most? Why are you so scared when you see her?"
Zhao Wuji's face turned red, and he said with lingering fear: "Mother, Sister Yuli has learned bad things! Last time at the hot spring villa, she...she hugged me and kissed me non-stop. I am afraid of her!"
Princess Wei really didn't understand the meaning of some of the inexplicable words her son had learned from Princess Qin. She lowered her head and looked at her son and asked gently, "What does mumuda mean?"
Wuji's face turned even redder, and he was shy and embarrassed, "It was... it was Sister Yuli who hugged me and said muah, while biting my cheek and molesting me!"
Princess Wei finally understood that "mumuda" meant a kiss, and she laughed so hard that her body shook! The two maids who followed her also laughed so hard that they covered their mouths tightly.
The Princess of Qin was a carefree, naughty and lively person, and the maids around her were also spoiled and did not follow the rules. Especially the youngest Yu Li, who was simple-minded, straightforward, naughty, lively and active.
"Yuli, don't kiss Wuji in the carriage, or she might get shy and jump out of the carriage and break her leg." Princess Wei smiled and warned.
Hong Gu and Yu Li bowed, and Yu Li agreed obediently: "Princess, Yu Li has made a note of it. I won't tease the prince in the carriage. When we get to the hot spring villa, I will give him a few kisses." As Yu Li said this, she glanced proudly at Xiao Wu Ji who was hiding behind Princess Wei.
"No!" Little Wuji's blushing face appeared from behind his mother. "...Men and women shouldn't have physical contact, I don't want it!
"Hong Gu, please take care of her! Otherwise, I...I will...I will be a masked hero every day!"
Xiao Wuji was so embarrassed and angry that he almost got angry, but he couldn't bear to say that he would not go.
Hong Gu smiled slightly, turned to her beloved disciple Yu Li and said lovingly: "Yu Li, stop kissing the young master. If you like to play this kind of game, don't you have a little Mu Xiu?"
"No! Mu Xiu doesn't want to be molested either..." Xiao Wuji looked at the smug smirk in Yu Li's eyes, and his heart was nervous. "Sister Yu Li, how about... let's change to Mu Xiu!"
Wu Ji immediately objected, but seeing Yu Li's evil smile, he had no choice but to keep himself safe, following the principle of "a friend's death is better than my own".
Princess Wei was laughing so hard that tears welled up in her eyes, and she was holding her stomach and couldn't straighten her back!
When you're with the people around Princess Qin, you can end up laughing to death at any time. You can't be depressed even if you want to!
After spending a few days with Princess Qin at the hot spring villa, she could clearly feel that there was a more vibrant happiness in her heart, which dispelled the depression that had accumulated too much.
Princess Wei finally stopped laughing and said, "Wuji, everything is packed. Hurry up and follow Honggu and Yuli to get in the car!"
Xiao Wuji looked up at his mother and said, "Mother, you must take good care of yourself while I am no longer with you. Aunt Huang, Mu Xiu and I will stay here for a few days and then come back. I will tell you about the happy times we played together!"
Princess Wei smiled and waved her hand, "Go! Go!... Tell your mother about the fun you had playing with her when you come back."...
Luo Li followed Mu Xiu and went straight to the hot spring villa. When they arrived at the gate of the villa, they saw that the carriage coming to pick up Wu Ji had not arrived yet, so they got off the carriage and waited at the gate.
Not long after, Hong Gu appeared in sight driving a horse-drawn carriage.
"Here he comes! Princess, Wu Ji is here!" Mu Xiu was overjoyed.
When the carriage came up, Hong Gu pulled the reins, jumped out of the carriage and went to pick up Wu Ji who was in the carriage.
As Wu Ji was carried down from the carriage by Hong Gu, he excitedly called out, "Aunt Queen! Mu Xiu! I'm here...."
Mu Xiu ran over excitedly to greet his good friend. Unexpectedly, Yu Li jumped out of the car and grabbed him. She picked him up and started to kiss his face: "Little Mu Xiu, do you miss sister Yu Li? Muah!... Muah!..."
Xiao Muxiu was so scared that he was scared to death. He struggled desperately and shouted for help!
: "Help!... It's indecent assault!... Wuji, please save me..."
Xiao Wuji was so anxious that he circled around Yuli, tugging at her clothes and begging: "Sister Yuli, you've kissed me a few times, please let Mu Xiu go!..."
Luo Li and others stood at the gate, watching the fun with a smile. Yu Li had had enough of her mischief, so she let Mu Xiu go.
He didn't forget to tease her with a sly smile, "Mu Xiu, it was Xiao Wuji who asked me to find someone else to kiss."
Wu Ji's face turned red, and he immediately explained guiltily: "Mu Xiu, it was Hong Gu who suggested that she should kiss you instead. I... I just couldn't stop her, and in order to be able to come here, I... I just agreed."
Mu Xiu wiped the saliva from his red face and said to his guilty friend magnanimously, "Wu Ji, it's not your fault! When facing Sister Yu Li's clutches, we brothers can only act according to circumstances and whoever can escape will be the winner."
Yu Li raised her eyebrows smugly and asked, "I just grew a pair of magic claws, I just want to ask you two if you are convinced or not!"
Mu Xiu pulled Wu Ji and ran behind Luo Li, "I am convinced! Sister Yu Li, isn't it enough for us to be convinced?"
After watching the three naughty kids laughing and playing, everyone walked into the gate of the hot spring villa.
"It's inexplicable. Now that you are not here, who is in charge of the hot spring villa? Will Lin Xian'er sneak into the back yard to soak in my hot spring?" Luo Li asked worriedly.
Mo Ming hurriedly reported: "Princess, you can rest assured. When I was not around, Cheng Bo was in charge of the villa. He would not let Lin Xian'er enter the backyard.
Except for the prince and princess, no one dared to bathe in the hot spring pool."
After passing the screen wall with a painting of carp playing in the water and words of wealth and peace written on it, I came to the front yard.
A maid in a light green dress put down the basket in her hand, knelt down and greeted: "Your servant Xiangling greets the princess and the young master."
Luo Li glanced at Xiang Ling, the maid who was kneeling and bowing with a humble and gentle smile on the side of the road, and waved her hand with a smile: "No need to bow!"
The maid Xiangling looked at the backs of the Princess of Qin and the young master Zhao Wuji as they walked past, her eyes dim and unclear. After their figures disappeared, she turned around and ran back to the courtyard where she lived.
Xiangling found a pen and paper, hurriedly wrote a note, and put it into a thin bamboo tube. She called a servant to the gate, handed him the bamboo tube, and whispered, "You Qian, quickly deliver it to Prince Chen's mansion..."
