The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Chapter 131: The spy from Xilin appears

"Xian Chengfeng, I didn't expect you to have this skill!" Mu Lanfeng said in disbelief.

Xian Chengfeng looked serious and waved solemnly at the shopkeeper, signaling him to leave.

The shopkeeper nodded and walked out.

After seeing the shopkeeper retreat, Xian Chengfeng's seriousness immediately disappeared, and in the blink of an eye he was smiling playfully again. He waved his sleeves, sat down by himself, and said, "Little girl, how many times have I told you, can you please not call me by my full name? It's very rude. After all, I'm much older than you, so it's okay to call me brother!"

Mu Lanfeng rolled his eyes at him, "You wish! Who wants to call you big brother when a grown man is so hesitant?"

Xian Chengfeng curled his lips, "Girl, there's really nothing I can do with you!"

Mu Lanfeng tapped the stone table with his index finger intentionally or unintentionally, with a serious expression. He stared at Xian Chengfeng closely, pursed his lips, and there was no trace of a smile on his face.

Xian Chengfeng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her. He coughed lightly, trying to break the dull atmosphere. "Little girl, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that. It makes me feel uncomfortable!"

"Why didn't you tell me that Xilin's spies had entered the city?" Mu Lanfeng asked.

"How did you know?" Xian Chengfeng looked surprised, then turned around and explained, "I just got the news too!"

"It seems that your intelligence network is just so-so!"

Xian Chengfeng asked seriously, "Don't tell me first, tell me how you got the news!"

"Prince Tianluo was assassinated in Ruiyun Palace. I took a careful look at the scene and found that it was done by the spies from Xilin!" Mu Lanfeng replied.

"How is Prince Tianluo now?" Xian Chengfeng asked.

"He's not dead, he just had some minor skin injuries. The killer committed suicide by taking poison after being captured alive. His purpose was not to kill Prince Tianluo, but to use this as an opportunity to stir up trouble. The Tianluo foreign envoys are in a mess and they insist that Long Yuan give a reasonable explanation, otherwise... Humph! He's just a clown!" Mu Lanfeng said disdainfully.

Xian Chengfeng said without hesitation: "No, I just received the news and the Xilin spies started to act. It was so fast, there must be an insider. Otherwise, how could they sneak into the palace so easily?"

Mu Lanfeng's expression was stern. "You are right. It seems that there is indeed a spy from Xilin in the palace. But who could it be?"

Xian Chengfeng frowned slightly, "It's hard to say. The palace has a complex personnel structure, and anyone could be bribed by Xilin!"

"King Cheng! Do you think it could be King Cheng?" Mu Lanfeng couldn't help but feel doubtful as he thought about King Cheng's actions that day.

Is it just a coincidence?

"King Cheng has colluded with the people of Xilin, but he is the prince of Longyuan. If anything happens to Longyuan, what benefits can he get?" Xian Chengfeng asked back.

Mu Lanfeng disagreed with what Xian Chengfeng said. Although King Cheng seemed kind to others on the surface, he was actually very cruel and ruthless in private, and would do anything to achieve his goals.

"How many Xilin spies are there in Liuyue City?" Mu Lanfeng asked.

"Xian Chengfeng frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "More than ten people, all hiding in the dark!"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the wall, where hung a quaint landscape painting. He gently pushed the frame, and the wall made a slight "click" sound, revealing a hidden small box.

Xian Chengfeng carefully took out a roll of slightly yellowed paper from the box. He slowly walked to Mu Lanfeng and solemnly handed the paper to her, "This is the list of spies. It depends on how you eliminate them one by one!"

Mu Lanfeng took the list, gently stroked the words on it with his fingers, and carefully looked at the names on the list, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness, "With this list, we can target them, but these spies are hiding in the dark, and it is not easy to eliminate them all."

Mu Lanfeng sighed slightly, frowning as if he was thinking about how to deal with the situation.

"You can give this list to your King Yan. He has the ability to do it!" Xian Chengfeng reminded.

"Li Zeqi?" Mu Lanfeng was puzzled.

"Yes, it's him!" Xian Chengfeng said without hesitation, "Little girl, why do you like to call everyone by their full name?"

Mu Lanfeng rolled his eyes again, "I like it! Who cares?"

Xian Chengfeng looked helpless: "Well, who dares to control you! But then again, no one can do it except King Yan!"

"Why do I feel like you guys are in the same group?" Mu Lanfeng was confused.

Xian Chengfeng's mouth twitched, and he replied very unnaturally: "How can I be in the same group with the famous King of Yan, little girl, you are joking!"

Mu Lanfeng just said it casually, and didn't notice Xian Chengfeng's strangeness, and then asked: "Is there any news about Jiang?"

Seeing that Mu Lanfeng did not continue to ask, Xian Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He shook his head and said, "Not yet. Since the secret letter was intercepted, they seemed to have noticed something and stopped sending secret letters. However, I did find out the reason why your stepmother returned to Longyuan."

"What's the reason? Wasn't it because her husband died and Queen Mother Jiang was afraid that she would be wronged, so she forced her to come back?" Mu Lanfeng asked doubtfully.

Xian Chengfeng smiled and shook his head, "That's just what she said to the public. Did you know that she has a son?"

"Son? Stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now!" Mu Lanfeng urged suspiciously.

"Your stepmother's man was murdered by her and Hakecha Eagle!"

"What? They are brothers! How is that possible!" Mu Lanfeng couldn't believe it.

"How is that impossible! They are brothers, but Hakecha Flying Eagle has always been attracted to his half-brother. He despises him for not making progress, doing nothing, and only knowing how to coax women!"

"Then what do you mean by collusion?" Mu Lanfeng asked in confusion.

"Of course it means literally!" Xian Chengfeng continued slowly, "Who is your stepmother? Can't you pay her back? She is very ambitious. She despises her man for not being ambitious! Hakcha Feiying is the legitimate son and the regent general. The military power of Xilin is in his hands. Hakcha Feiying promised your stepmother that he would marry him as long as she killed his man. Who knew that Hakcha Feiying just wanted to use her!" Xian Chengfeng stopped talking.

"Then what? Tell me quickly!" Mu Lanfeng urged impatiently.

"You little girl, why are you in such a hurry? Hakcha Feiying threatened her to go back to Longyuan to get information for him, and even detained her son as a hostage! Your stepmother had no choice but to agree, so she wrote a letter to Queen Mother Longyuan in tears, and that's why the Queen Mother forced her to come back!"

After Xian Chengfeng finished speaking, he took out a secret letter from the wall and handed it to Mu Lanfeng.

Mu Lanfeng hurriedly opened the secret letter and started reading.
