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

Chapter 174 Zheng Peng delivers the letter

When we returned to the city, the sky had already turned as dark as ink.

Because of the assassin's incident last night, Li Zeqi was worried about Mu Lanfeng's safety and insisted on sending her to the gate of the Mu Mansion before leaving.

Just as I reached the intersection of West Street, suddenly, a man came towards me.

The man came in a hurry, and it was clear that he was coming for the two of them.

Li Zeqi instantly became alert, with a sharp look in his eyes.

He quickly turned sideways, without hesitation, stretched out his arm at an extremely fast speed, and pulled Mu Lanfeng to his side.

He leaned forward like an eagle with its wings spread, using his broad back to build a solid barrier for Mu Lanfeng.

Keep a close eye on the possible dangers ahead and never allow her to get hurt in the slightest.

Mu Lanfeng was startled by Li Zeqi's sudden action, and then looked at the person who came.

"Your Highness Prince Yan, I have finally waited for you!" The man spoke slowly as if relieved of a heavy burden.

Mu Lanfeng immediately recognized the voice of the person who came and blurted out, "Master Zheng?"

The visitor was slightly startled, then he showed a gentle smile and said with a bow, "Fifth Miss, long time no see, I hope you are well!"

Mu Lanfeng suddenly felt confused, because the young master of Zheng, Zheng Peng, had suffered losses at her hands before.

This person has always claimed that he will take revenge, but he has never found the right opportunity.

But at this moment, he showed up here on his own initiative, making it difficult to tell whether he was an enemy or a friend.

Li Zeqi's face was as dark as ink, and he said in a deep and cold voice: "I wonder what brings Master Zheng here this time?"

"Your Highness Prince Yan, you are too kind. I was young and frivolous before, and I didn't know how to do things. I accidentally offended the Fifth Miss! Here, I sincerely apologize!" Zheng Peng's expression became serious, and he hurriedly explained, "I came here this time because someone asked me to deliver a letter to the Fifth Miss."

He bowed slightly, his tone was sincere and his attitude was humble, which was very different from his previous arrogance.

"Letter? What letter?" Li Zeqi was puzzled, still protecting Mu Lanfeng tightly.

When Mu Lanfeng heard Zheng Peng say that he came to deliver a letter, he immediately understood.

I wonder what method Zheng Wanzhao used to make her brother, who had always been a playboy, let go of his prejudice against her!

Zheng Peng used to act recklessly, but now he is so obedient as to come and deliver the letter, which is really surprising.

Zheng Peng carefully took out a letter from his arms, looked at Mu Lanfeng again, and solemnly handed the letter to Mu Lanfeng.

Seeing this, Mu Lanfeng gently pulled himself out from Li Zeqi's arms.

She looked up at Zheng Peng, then stretched out her slender hand and took the letter from Zheng Peng.

"Fifth Miss, do you know who this letter is from?" Zheng Peng asked curiously.

Mu Lanfeng nodded slightly, looking pleased, "Of course I know."

"That's good! In this way, my mission is completed! Goodbye!" Zheng Peng said, heaving a sigh of relief.

After saying this, he bowed, turned around and left. His footsteps were brisk and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Without waiting for Li Zeqi to ask, Mu Lanfeng spoke first: "It's a letter from Zheng Wanzhao!"

Li Zeqi's eyes were full of confusion, "Zheng Wanzhao? Why did she send a letter to you?"

"Something must have happened over at Xize!" Mu Lanfeng guessed.

"Come with me!" Li Zeqi said in a low voice, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

He held Mu Lanfeng's hand tightly, and like a ghost in the dark night, he quietly and silently shuttled through the streets and alleys, avoiding the eyes of passers-by.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Li Zeqi led Mu Lanfeng around and around, and finally arrived at the wall of the palace.

Li Zeqi looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that no one noticed, he jumped lightly and climbed over the wall with Mu Lanfeng.

They fell silently in the courtyard of the palace like two falling leaves.

Li Zeqi pulled Mu Lanfeng and quickly hid in a secluded corner.

She didn't know why Li Zeqi sneaked back to the palace so mysteriously, but she believed that he must have his own reasons.

After a moment, Li Zeqi slightly turned sideways, made a gesture to Mu Lanfeng to keep quiet, and quietly led Mu Lanfeng through the palace.

Avoiding the patrolling guards, he arrived at the door of the study.

Li Zeqi gently pushed the door open, and the two of them slipped into the study and closed the door, fearing to make the slightest sound.

Mu Lanfeng shook the fire stick in his hand, and a faint light flickered out.

She walked slowly to the desk and carefully lit the candle.

In an instant, the candlelight spread and the room immediately became bright.

"Let's not talk about other places for now. I can assure you that Prince Yan's Mansion is still safe for now!" Li Zeqi explained solemnly.

Mu Lanfeng took out the letter, handed it to Li Zeqi, and motioned him to open it.

Li Zeqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and without any hesitation, he reached out and took the letter.

With steady and decisive movements, his slender fingers gently turned the letter, and the rustling sound of the paper was particularly clear in the silent study.

The letter said: Recently, Xilin has been making frequent moves and has been quietly stationing troops, which is worrying. After many investigations by Xilin spies, it was learned that Hakecha Feiying was not in Xilin at the moment. Based on the clues currently available, it is very likely that he has secretly come to Longyuan and has quietly sneaked into Liuyue City.

Hakcha Flying Eagle is a man of sinister character, vicious methods, and extremely meticulous mind. He has always been full of tricks, and his whereabouts are as mysterious and unpredictable as a ghost.

Miss Mu, you must be careful of this person. The situation is unclear now, and danger may be lurking in the dark around you, and may give a fatal blow at any time. The peace of Liuyue City may be broken, so you must be extremely cautious and stay vigilant at all times, and never let Hakcha Feiying take advantage of you.

Signed: Zheng Wanzhao

Mu Lanfeng looked at Li Zeqi's increasingly solemn expression and guessed in her heart that the situation must be bad, but she didn't know what it was exactly.

After reading it, Li Zeqi handed the letter to Mu Lanfeng.

Mu Lanfeng quickly reached out to take it, his eyes eagerly falling on the letter.

As her eyes moved over the letter, her expression gradually became serious.

After reading the letter, Mu Lanfeng slowly raised his head and looked at Li Zeqi.

Li Zeqi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of no small importance!"

Mu Lanfeng nodded, his expression solemn: "The troops are stationed in Xilin, and Hakecha Feiying has sneaked into Liuyue City again. This matter must be reported to the emperor immediately!"

Li Zeqi agreed, "That's true. This matter concerns the safety of Liuyue City and even the entire Longyuan. He must be informed as soon as possible!"

"However, with just this letter, it is difficult for the emperor to fully believe the truth of this matter." Mu Lanfeng's face was full of worry.

"Hmph! Don't worry, he is very suspicious. When it comes to things like this, he would rather believe it than not believe it!" There was a hint of certainty in Li Zeqi's tone.

"Even if the emperor has doubts, he will definitely take some measures to verify the matter. In this process, we must be fully prepared to prevent any accidents."

Mu Lanfeng nodded gently, "Yes, we can't just rely on the emperor's reaction, we need to take action. If Hakecha Feiying really sneaked into Liuyue City, we must find his whereabouts as soon as possible and stop his conspiracy!"

"But, in this huge Liuyue City, where will Hakecha Feiying settle down?" Li Zeqi said softly, with deep thought in his words.

He frowned, his eyes showing a serious look.

At the same time, some possible places flashed through his mind like lightning.

Those places may be hidden or prosperous, and each one may become the hiding place of Hakecha Eagle.

Just at this moment, Mu Lanfeng was about to speak when he suddenly heard a very light sound of footsteps coming from outside.

The sound of footsteps was faint, as if blown by the wind inadvertently, but it seemed particularly clear in the silent atmosphere.

Mu Lanfeng's expression tensed instantly, and she subconsciously looked at Li Zeqi.

Li Zeqi made a gesture to keep quiet and waited for the footsteps outside to approach.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

"Your Highness, are you back? I saw the light was on, so I came over to check!" A woman's voice suddenly sounded outside, the voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of inquiry.

Mu Lanfeng lowered his head and listened, and immediately knew that the person coming was Chen Wanqing.
