The Imperial Palace of Bactria covers an extremely vast area. Not to mention the pavilions inside, it would take several hours to walk around the perimeter.
At this time, in an alley outside the Changchun Palace, two people in eunuch costumes were walking in a hurry, especially the leader. He had to look around after taking a few steps, as if he was afraid of meeting someone.
"Eunuch Zhao, can you go faster?" Li Qi urged from behind.
Zhao Fu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a grimace: "Master Li, we are in the palace. If we encounter an interrogating guard later..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Qi answered: "Don't worry, if someone really exposes you, I will say that I forced you to bring me here."
Zhao Fu sighed, feeling bitter in his heart. He regretted accepting Li Qi's banknote.
But the situation at that time gave him no chance to think.
An hour ago, Li Qi asked Zhao Fu to take him to the queen's palace. Zhao Fu was hesitant. At that time, Li Qi kept increasing the price.
"Two thousand taels..."
Zhao Fu made a grimace and did not answer.
"Three thousand taels..."
"Four thousand taels..."
"Five thousand taels..."
When Li Qi finally added up to 10,000 taels, Zhao Fu felt his head heat up for some reason and said, "Okay! I'll take you there!"
Now that I think about it, Zhao Fu regretted it, so how could he agree to it?
Arriving at the side door of Changchun Palace, Zhao Fu asked Li Qi to wait. Then he went to the door and shouted in a low voice: "Little Shuanzi..."
Soon the side door was opened and a young eunuch came out.
Li Qi only saw Zhao Fu saying something to the little eunuch, and then Zhao Fu waved to him.
Li Qi hurried over, and Zhao Fu said to the little eunuch: "Take him in."
"OK."
Zhao Fu winked at Li Qi and said, "Then I'll leave first."
Li Qi nodded.
Following the little eunuch into the Changchun Palace, the little eunuch said as he walked: "Although you were asked by His Royal Highness to serve the princess, you must abide by our rules when you come here..."
Before the little eunuch could finish speaking, he felt his back being lightly poked twice, and he turned around displeased.
Li Qi smiled and handed over a banknote: "Little father-in-law, I understand. Don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble."
The little eunuch was slightly startled, and when he saw the face value of the bank note, he was also shocked.
Good guy, one hundred taels?!
Seeing that the young eunuch was hesitant, Li Qi took his hand and stuffed the banknote over him: "It's a little disrespectful. I don't know what your father-in-law's name is?"
"You... just call me Xiao Shuanzi..." the little eunuch stammered, obviously confused by the one hundred taels.
Li Qi also knows how much money is appropriate for what kind of person he chooses.
A eunuch like Zhao Fu was responsible for all affairs in the East Palace, and he was also the person close to the prince. He had many contacts on weekdays, so only ten thousand taels could be given to impress him.
For a young eunuch like Xiao Shuanzi, one hundred taels is already a huge fortune.
Li Qi doesn't care about money at all now. For him, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Now his family has a staggering amount of money, not to mention the monthly rent from the land lease and some other bits and pieces of income.
It can be said that he is a rich man now!
And he also thought that if something happened and he ran away, he wouldn't be able to take the money with him. Since he couldn't take it with him, he would just spend it on what he needed to do now. There was nothing to save.
Xiao Shuanzi accepted the money and his attitude changed: "Don't you know your surname?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "My name is Xiao Guizi."
"It turns out to be Eunuch Gui..."
Grandma, I didn’t expect that this young master would one day make a guest appearance as Wei Xiaobao. Who can I tell you about this?
Xiao Shuanzi took Li Qi to the place where the princess lived, and saw two maids standing at the door. Xiao Shuanzi went over to report, saying that Li Qi was sent by the prince to serve the princess.
When the two palace maids heard this, one of them went into the room to report. After a while, she came out and said: "Your Highness, please come in."
"Yes." Li Qi lowered his head and said.
After entering the house, Li Qi kept his head lowered. After saluting, a soft voice came: "The prince asked you to come here?"
"Go back to Your Highness the Princess. Your Highness the Crown Prince asked me to bring a few words to Your Highness the Princess..." Li Qi said.
"Oh? What are you talking about?"
Li Qi slowly raised his head. It didn't matter if he didn't raise his head. He almost had a nosebleed when he raised his head.
On top of a soft bed, I saw a pair of straight and slender legs hanging casually on a square pillow. Looking up, under a thin layer of gauze, everything was so faintly visible...
This woman is really good enough...
Li Qi controlled the rising blood energy and took a deep breath. Just when he was about to speak, he saw the princess burst into laughter. Then her face turned cold and she stared at Li Qi and said, "You are not a eunuch, are you?"
Li Qi's heart was shocked, and he blinked twice. Suddenly, the princess had already sat up, stretched out a finger and said, "Come here."
"Ah?" Li Qi was a little confused.
"Let you come over..."
Li Qi stood up and walked slowly over. As soon as he reached the princess, he was grabbed by his clothes and pulled violently. He lost his balance and instantly fell on the bed.
When he came to his senses, the princess was already on top of him, with a playful smile on her face: "You are indeed not a eunuch... Tell me, who are you?"
Li Qi swallowed, a little suffocated by the beautiful scene.
Although this princess is open-minded, her figure is really incredible!
"Um...I'm Li Qi..."
"Li Qi?" the princess rolled her eyes and asked, "Are you really sent here by the prince?"
Li Qi shook his head.
The princess raised her eyebrows, and Li Qi quickly said: "Princess! I am the Prince Consort's best friend!"
Hearing the words "Prince-in-law", the princess's eyes changed a little. After a moment, she let go of Li Qi and climbed off him.
Li Qi quickly got off the bed and retreated two meters away.
Damn it, this woman is simply scarier than Ying Bier!
I don't know if it was because Li Qi mentioned the prince-in-law, but the princess pulled a silk blanket beside her and covered her body, leaning on the bedside.
"Princess, I came here today to hope that the princess can save the Prince Consort!" Li Qi said with cupped hands.
"Save him?"
"Yes, the incident involving Lanyuan was all taken on by the prince-in-law for the sake of the princess. Now he has been imprisoned in the sky prison. In a few days, he will be pushed to the Meridian Gate and beheaded..."
The princess was stunned, and it took her a long time to react: "You said that the reason why my father spared me was because he took the blame for me?"
Li Qi pretended to be stupid and said: "I don't know about this, but now the prince-in-law has indeed been arrested and thrown into the sky prison, and the Ministry of Punishment has determined that he is the mastermind behind the scenes..."
