Ouchi Cat Controlling, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

"What does this bitch want to do?"

Li Xuan was on the roof, sensing the movement inside, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

She didn't have a good impression of this woman.

Although Li Xuan knew about the agreement between Emperor Yongyuan and Empress Wu, there had been rumors circulating in the palace that Empress Wu did not like Jingyang Palace.

Empress Wu had no intention of controlling these rumors, which caused their Jingyang Palace to suffer a lot because of these words.

Li Xuan didn't care whether it was Empress Wu's intention or not, but they did suffer because of her.

Now that Jingyang Palace has turned over, Princess Ankang has the opportunity to pay homage alone during the New Year, but she is suddenly stopped by Empress Wu.

Li Xuan wanted to see what this woman wanted to do.

If anything goes wrong, Li Xuan will "throw" him off the roof and let her see what flying cats mean!

In this tense atmosphere, Queen Wu waved to Princess Ankang and spoke again:

"Ankang, come forward and let me take a closer look."

This sudden situation made Emperor Yongyuan couldn't help but glance at Empress Wu, wondering what she was going to do.

But Emperor Yongyuan did not stop him with words, but watched quietly.

They had an agreement back then that Queen Wu was not allowed to attack Princess Ankang.

Empress Wu has kept her promise for so many years, so there is no reason to go back on her word now.

When Princess Ankang heard what Empress Wu said, she looked at Empress Wu who was sitting next to Emperor Yongyuan, then nodded, walked forward slowly and stopped three steps away from them.

Empress Wu held her chin with a jade hand, leaned forward a little while sitting, and muttered:

"Um……"

This distance was enough for Queen Wu to see Princess Ankang clearly.

Princess Ankang lowered her eyebrows and stood obediently.

After all, the person in front of her was the Queen of Daxing, so she couldn't be disrespectful.

But at this moment, Queen Wu suddenly said:

"She really looks like her."

As soon as these words came out, Princess Ankang raised her eyes and looked at Queen Wu, the coldness in her eyes not concealed.

She is already very restrained. If it weren't for Concubine Xiao's education to Princess Ankang over the years, she wouldn't have expected Princess Ankang to be so calm.

It was just that Queen Wu was the first to mention Concubine Xiao, and even Princess Ankang couldn't help but have a chill flash in her eyes.

"Queen!"

Emperor Yongyuan called her in a serious tone.

"Just taking a look, what's the rush?"

Empress Wu rolled her eyes, then looked away from Princess Ankang, closing her eyes to rest in boredom.

Princess Ankang, who was still a little angry at first, was also stunned. She looked at Queen Wu and then at Emperor Yongyuan, the confusion in her eyes was very obvious.

Not to mention Princess Ankang, even Li Xuan on the roof did not expect Queen Wu to have such an attitude towards Emperor Yongyuan.

He originally thought that no matter how much they didn't deal with each other, the two of them would still act respectfully to each other and treat each other as equals.

But how do you look at it now...

Emperor Yongyuan rarely had a different expression and did not hold back his father's majesty in front of Princess Ankang.

"Ankang, you haven't paid your respects yet."

After Emperor Yongyuan urged her, Princess Ankang remembered this incident. After reciting the congratulations she had prepared, she saluted the emperor and empress and completed her New Year visit.

Princess Ankang was about to retreat when she heard Emperor Yongyuan say:

"Ankang, I hope you will come with me regarding the southern tour. What do you think?"

Princess Ankang didn't hesitate much and immediately replied: "My son, I will obey my father's arrangements."

"Okay, then be prepared. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will notify you of the departure date."

"Yes." Princess Ankang nodded.

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, please leave." Emperor Yongyuan almost urged Princess Ankang to leave.

Princess Ankang didn't think much. After bowing to the two of them, she exited the Tai Chi Palace.

"That's it?"

Li Xuan on the roof was slightly confused.

He originally thought that Queen Wu would make things more difficult for Princess Ankang, but except for calling Princess Ankang to her and mentioning Concubine Xiao, she seemed to have said nothing.

"So easy to deal with?"

Li Xuanzheng was confused, and then heard the conversation in Tai Chi Palace.

"Queen, just pretend she doesn't exist."

Emperor Yongyuan's voice sounded. Although there was no fluctuation, he was obviously dissatisfied with Queen Wu just mentioning Concubine Xiao in front of Princess Ankang.

"How can I pretend that I, a living person, do not exist?"

"If Your Majesty can't trust my concubine so much, why do you dare to let her participate in the southern tour with Lu Zhao?"

"I'm not afraid..."

Queen Wu's lazy tone was full of ridicule.

"If Lu Zhao were like you, he wouldn't be able to cultivate as well as he is today."

After saying that, Emperor Yongyuan stood up and left from the side hall.

"Li Weishan, don't run away if you have the guts!"

Empress Wu slapped the table, showing off the majesty of a queen of a country.

But at this time, Emperor Yongyuan had already disappeared.

Li Xuan was on the roof and could clearly feel Emperor Yongyuan's pace speeding up a bit.

"Um?"

"What's going on with the emperor and empress?"

Li Xuan was confused.

He found that the relationship between Emperor Yongyuan and Empress Wu was not as tense as he imagined, and was even a bit casual.

It was natural for Empress Wu to call Emperor Yongyuan by his first name just now. It was obviously not the first time she had done this.

"It turns out that Emperor Yongyuan's name is Li Weishan, but this name is quite ordinary and not very domineering."

Li Xuan silently complained about Emperor Yongyuan's mediocre name.

"But just now they said that Princess Yan Zhao will also join the southern tour?"

"Is the Wu family going to join Emperor Yongyuan?"

Li Xuan's eyes turned, and he was a little surprised.

He thought that the Wu family would sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers, and then reap the benefits, but he didn't expect that they would end up early and stand on the side of Emperor Yongyuan.

"What benefits did Emperor Yongyuan promise them?"

"It can't be because of the family, right?"

If Princess Yan Zhao really ascends the throne as an empress, I'm afraid that her brothers and sisters will not have a good ending, and even Emperor Yongyuan will have to be lucky enough to abdicate and have a decent ending.

Otherwise, the Daxing royal family may set off a new round of bloody storms.

Li Xuan looked at the Taiji Palace Square, which had begun to disperse, and then looked at the sun that had already risen.

The new year has begun, and there is no time for him to continue to waste.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er have already met up and are waiting for him below.

Li Xuan sneaked down from the roof, then joined the two maids, and then followed the crowd back and left.

Li Xuan lay in Princess Ankang's arms, his head over her shoulder, looking back at the Taiji Palace Square where the guests had left after a night of joy, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The word "lost", these two words always make people feel bored.

"Ah Xuan, what's wrong?"

Princess Ankang saw that Li Xuan was too quiet and well-behaved, so she couldn't help asking.

Li Xuan didn't say anything, but just gently put his chin on Princess Ankang's shoulder, enjoying the feeling of being hugged by her.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er smiled at each other and didn't say much.

Princess Ankang patted Li Xuan gently and hugged him like coaxing a child.

Li Xuan seemed calm, but he knew that there would be greater challenges waiting for them in the new year.

Although he didn't know why Emperor Yongyuan suddenly became anxious, Li Xuan knew that there must be a reason.

"I hope we can get through it safely."

...

When the three children returned to Jingyang Palace, the eunuchs in flowery clothes who were guarding the palace presented a letter to Princess Ankang, saying that someone had sent it not long ago.

"Your Highness, whose letter is it?"

The three children returned to their room to rest. Yu'er made the bed for Princess Ankang and asked back. After an all-night banquet, it is always inevitable to feel a little tired.

Although there are refreshing teas, everyone will come back to catch up on a nap after the New Year's Eve dinner.

Because there are many things to do on the first day of the New Year.

Like Princess Ankang's other brothers and sisters, they will meet with relatives from their mother's family today, and there will be many activities to participate in the next few days.

But Princess Ankang is a lonely person, and no one will visit her in the palace. After the New Year's Eve dinner, it is her free time.

Princess Ankang rarely receives letters from the outside world, so she opened it and read it. After reading for a while, she couldn't help but frowned.

"It's a letter from General Ningyuan's mansion."

"They said that several people who followed my mother wanted to see me outside the palace."

When Li Xuan heard this, he immediately climbed onto the table and stretched his head to read the contents of the letter.

Princess Ankang also thoughtfully spread the letter on the table for him.

Li Xuan saw Chai Rongrong and General Ningyuan at the banquet last night.

They wanted to approach and talk to Princess Ankang, but they didn't find a chance. When the four dukes arrived, everyone else was asked to leave.

Now it seems that Chai Rongrong did not give up, but took advantage of the breakup just now to send this letter in some unknown way.

After all, with their status, they can't walk around the harem at will.

"What do these old subordinates of Concubine Xiao want to do?"

"Do you think Ankang can climb up?"

"Then what are they relying on to climb up?"

Although Li Xuan was disdainful in his heart, he was also curious about what Chai Rongrong wanted to do.

Although these people are not high-ranking officials, the more such people are in the capital, the more sophisticated their information must be. Otherwise, if they accidentally offend someone, they will not be able to stay in the capital.

Especially these people still have the mark of Concubine Xiao on them, but they can still stay in the capital, which shows that they still have some means.

"Ah Xuan, do you think we can meet them?"

Princess Ankang asked Li Xuan's opinion.

"You decide."

Li Xuan threw the question back to Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang thought about it, and finally sighed and said:

"After all, they have a relationship with my mother, so let's see what they have to do."

Li Xuan nodded silently and approved Princess Ankang's decision.

Anyway, with his protection, these people can't cause any trouble.

It's just that Princess Yan Zhao's sudden return made Li Xuan feel a little urgent.

Other higher-level masters didn't give Li Xuan such a feeling.

In the final analysis, it was because Princess Yan Zhao was too young.

Her growth potential is enough to make everyone feel threatened.

Li Xuan looked at Princess Ankang and Yu'er, and thought to himself:

"It seems that we still need to improve our combat power!"

...

The next day.

The three little ones went out of the palace for a banquet.

General Ningyuan had already chosen the location, which was a restaurant not far from the West Market.

They booked a private room there and waited for Princess Ankang to arrive.

The three little ones did not bring any other guards except a team of eunuchs in flowery clothes.

The leader of the eunuchs in flowery clothes was still Xu Lang, who drove the car himself.

Xu Lang now takes care of almost all the tasks related to Jingyang Palace, and therefore has been given more important positions by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

When they arrived at the agreed restaurant, the three little ones went straight to the private room, and only Xu Lang followed and guarded, while the other eunuchs in flowery clothes protected them secretly.

The business of this restaurant is average. Although it is a restaurant, there are not many customers, and it looks a bit deserted.

When they arrived at the door of the private room, before they could knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside.

The one who opened the door was Chai Rongrong, who had been waiting at the door. When she saw Princess Ankang, she immediately greeted her respectfully.

"Your Highness, please come in quickly."

Compared with the last time they met, Chai Rongrong's attitude today was much more flattering.

Li Xuan was held in the arms of Princess Ankang, and couldn't help muttering in his heart:

"Don't you come to ask someone to do something for you?"

Princess Ankang was invited to sit in the main seat, and found that in addition to General Ningyuan and his wife, there was also a shabby middle-aged man present.

Although his clothes were a little torn, his beard and hair were neatly groomed and not too sloppy.

General Ningyuan and the middle-aged man stood up to greet Princess Ankang. They dared to sit down one by one only after Princess Ankang asked them to sit down.

As soon as they sat down, Chai Rongrong introduced Princess Ankang:

"Your Highness, let me introduce you."

"This is my husband, General Ningyuan Qiao Wanyun."

Qiao Wanyun immediately bowed to Princess Ankang:

"Hello, Your Highness."

"General Qiao." Princess Ankang nodded.

"This is the Taizhu of the Taichang Temple, Ren Chunsheng."

Chai Rongrong continued to introduce the middle-aged man next to Princess Ankang.

"Taizhu of the Taichang Temple?"

Li Xuan couldn't help wondering what this official position was.

He knew that the Taichang Temple was in the southern court of the imperial city and was mainly responsible for rituals and music.

For example, yesterday's New Year's sacrifice was also under their control, but the official position of Taizhu sounded a little strange.

Princess Ankang had a normal expression, no favoritism, and nodded to Ren Chunsheng:

"Ren Taizhu."

Ren Chunsheng seemed quite excited when Princess Ankang called him that.

Princess Ankang glanced at the private room. It was indeed not big, and the prepared wine and food were only average.

But thinking of their awkward position as the old subordinates of Concubine Xiao, this might be their limit.

"Are there only three of you today?"

Princess Ankang saw that the letter said that other old subordinates of Concubine Xiao wanted to see her, but she didn't expect that there was only one more Ren Chunsheng.

"Your Highness, there are not many people left in the capital who once followed Concubine Xiao."

"Except for the three of us, there are only a few left."

"It's just that they are too ashamed to come to see Your Highness, and only the three of us are shameless enough to ask for an audience with Your Highness today."

After hearing Chai Rongrong's answer, Princess Ankang did not dwell on this issue any more, but asked directly:

"What do you want to see me for?"

"This... Your Highness, why don't we talk while we eat?" Chai Rongrong suggested with difficulty.

Princess Ankang smiled slightly, but she didn't have any intention of picking up her chopsticks.

The three of them couldn't help but feel a little pressure. They didn't expect that the gentle Princess Ankang would have such a strong side.

While General Ningyuan and his wife were hesitating, Ren Chunsheng said directly:

"Your Highness, we won't hide it from you. We actually have something to ask for today."

Seeing that Ren Chunsheng had already spoken, Chai Rongrong was so anxious that she secretly poked her husband with her elbow.

Qiao Wanyun had no choice but to continue: "Your Highness, it's actually like this."

"I got news from the army that someone in the government is looking for trouble with Taiqing Temple."

"This Taoist temple is located in Jinchengfang and has had a good reputation for many years."

"The most important thing is that Taiqing Temple has a history with Concubine Xiao. We are afraid that someone saw that Your Highness was in power, so they took this action. Please investigate."

The three children frowned when they heard this.

Princess Ankang turned her head to look at Yu'er behind her. Seeing that Yu'er was as confused as herself, it seemed that they had no impression of Taiqing Temple.

"Taiqing Temple?"

"I seem to have heard it somewhere."

Li Xuan had some impression, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
