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

Chapter 201 Planning

Mu Lanfeng was filled with resentment and left the palace angrily.

She didn't say a word along the way.

In fact, what made her angry was not the emperor's distrust of her, but the fact that the emperor treated the lives of the soldiers guarding the border as a joke.

At this moment, she suddenly realized what it meant to be truly alone. It was an indifference to the lives of others and the coldness and ruthlessness brought about by power.

It was New Year's Eve, the streets and alleys were decorated with lights, the lights of thousands of houses were shining like stars, laughter and joy were intertwined, and everywhere was bustling with activity.

However, at this moment, Mu Lanfeng's heart seemed to have fallen into an icy abyss and sank to the bottom.

Although she understood why the emperor became cautious after the incident with the crown prince, it did not mean that she would agree with the emperor's current actions.

"He has always been so suspicious. Did he become like this after the incident with the crown prince? You don't understand him at all. I am too self-righteous and overestimated my importance in his heart!" Li Zeqi was very annoyed, his eyes full of regret.

Mu Lanfeng didn't listen to Li Zeqi's words at all. At this moment, a sudden flash of inspiration came to her mind and an idea popped up. This idea might be able to solve Shaoze Pass's urgent problem.

Seeing that Mu Lanfeng remained silent for a long time, Li Zeqi frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Mu Lanfeng shook his head slowly, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said helplessly: "Since ancient times, the imperial family has been the most ruthless! Now I understand."

When Li Zeqi saw Mu Lanfeng like this, his heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible big hand, and a wave of fear surged into his heart like a tide.

He had never seen her look so desperate and helpless, and that smile was more heartbreaking than crying.

"Lan Feng..." Li Zeqi's voice was a little hoarse. He stretched out his hand to touch her, but stopped in mid-air, "Don't be like this, we... must have another way..."

He tried to comfort her, but words seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.

"I'm fine!" Mu Lanfeng's expression froze and he tried hard to force a smile, trying to hide the complex emotions in his eyes.

She had decided not to tell Li Zeqi about her thoughts. The idea was too risky and she didn't want him to be involved.

"I'll go back first!" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stood up.

She was as light as a swallow, and in a flash, she turned into a black shadow and disappeared in front of Li Zeqi like an arrow. She was so fast that only a faint afterimage was left.

Li Zeqi stared at the direction where she disappeared, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

He knew that Mu Lanfeng must have her own plans, but she was unwilling to tell him anything, which made him feel inexplicably uneasy. He also used his Qinggong skills to chase in the direction where Mu Lanfeng left...

Because it was New Year's Eve, there were few travelers traveling outside, and the inn was deserted with almost no guests.

Seeing this, Ye Sanniang sent her employees back home early to reunite with their families and closed the shop herself.

The guys left happily one after another.

There was only one person who remained there. Ye Sanniang knew that she had a miserable life. Both her parents died when she was young, and she was left alone with no relatives or friends in the world, no one to rely on, and nowhere to go.

At this moment, he looked at the backs of his companions leaving, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Ye Sanniang stepped forward and patted his shoulder, saying to him in comfort: "If you don't mind, you can treat this place as your home from now on! Go to the kitchen and cook two of your specialties. Come and have a drink with me on New Year's Eve, and we can celebrate a reunion year together."

When the guy heard this, his eyes instantly turned red and tears welled up in his eyes, almost bursting out.

He nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice, full of joy, and ran towards the kitchen. His figure seemed to be carried by the wind, and disappeared from Ye Sanniang's sight in the blink of an eye.

"How can you drink without me?"

Ye Sanniang was immersed in her own thoughts when she heard this hearty voice.

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Mu Lanfeng push open the door of the inn and walk in with big strides.

"Miss, why are you here?" Ye Sanniang was both surprised and confused.

Mu Lanfeng's eyes were filled with resentment, and the emotion seemed to burst out from his eyes, but he finally suppressed it, and tried to force a smile from the corners of his mouth. He was quite helpless and said, "In their eyes, is power really more important than human life?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Sanniang's eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face. "Sanniang has always felt that the young lady is not the kind of person who gets sad and depressed when things happen. You should find a way to solve it!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Sanniang's beautiful eyes, like a ripple on the surface of a calm lake.

Then, a meaningful smile appeared on her pretty face. She opened her red lips slightly and spoke in a clear voice like a bell: "Sanniang has always felt that the girl is not the kind of weak person who would only feel sad when encountering problems. Instead of being sad here, you should think of a way to solve the problem. This is the style of the girl that Sanniang knows!"

A word of advice awakened the dreamer, and in an instant, Mu Lanfeng woke up as if from a dream.

Just as Ye Sanniang said, she was a little dazed. She didn't know since when she had become so hesitant when encountering things.

Instead of being depressed and complaining here, letting these negative emotions entangle you like vines, it is better to cheer up and solve the problem.

"Sanniang, is Hakecha Feiying still in Liuyue City?" Mu Lanfeng asked.

Ye Sanniang sighed softly, shrugged her shoulders slightly, raised the corners of her mouth, and said helplessly: "It seems that we can't drink this wine tonight!" After a pause, she continued, "Don't worry, he is still here. From the situation, he doesn't seem to have any plans to leave for the time being!"

"Xilin is fighting without declaration, and as the general who assists Xilin in governing the country, he is hiding in the capital of Longyuan at the moment. It's really hard to understand!" Mu Lanfeng frowned and muttered to himself.

Ye Sanniang raised her lips to a mysterious smile and said leisurely, "I'm afraid the situation in Xilin is about to change. Hakcha Feiying is old and his energy is fading, while the young master has reached adulthood. The balance of power is about to tilt. One has been at the top of power for a long time and is unwilling to let go, while the other is eager to hold power tightly in his own hands."

"Sanniang, are you saying that Hakecha Feiying hid in Longyuan to avoid disaster?" Mu Lanfeng seemed to have sorted out some clues.

Ye Sanniang shook her head and analyzed in an orderly manner: "In fact, it's not entirely true. The whereabouts of Hakcha Feiying have long been under the control of the Xilin Emperor. What the Xilin Emperor really wants is just an excuse to send troops, a reason that can give him a legitimate reason!"

"Where is Hakcha Flying Eagle now?" Mu Lanfeng looked determined and serious, and suddenly asked, "I want to make a deal with him, maybe..."

Ye Sanniang frowned slightly, with a trace of worry in her eyes, "Girl, you have to think clearly. Hakcha Feiying is an extremely shrewd old fox. He has been struggling in the power field for many years. Those conspiracies and tricks are just commonplace to him. I don't know how many schemes he has hidden behind. If you rashly trade with him, he might scheme against you until you have nothing left."

Mu Lanfeng took a deep breath and said, "Sanniang, I know it's dangerous, but the situation is critical now. For the soldiers on the border and for the peace of countless people, I must give it a try."

Ye Sanniang sighed softly, "I understand your intentions, but this Hakcha Flying Eagle can hide his whereabouts under the nose of the Xilin Emperor and make the situation develop in a direction that is favorable to him. You can see his methods. He is like an old wolf lurking in the dark. He looks like a dying wolf, but in fact his fangs are sharp, always ready to give his prey a fatal blow. If you really want to find him, you must be extremely careful and don't trust his words."

Mu Lanfeng nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Sanniang, I won't be easily bewitched by him. I already have some plans, I just need to find him first!"

Ye Sanniang frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she said to Mu Lanfeng with a serious look: "Miss, since you have made up your mind, Sanniang will accompany you on this trip. The hiding place of Hakecha Feiying is extremely secret. There is a manor in the southern suburbs of Longyuan Capital. It looks ordinary, but the old fox has set up many traps around the manor. Ordinary people can't get close to the center of the manor at all."

Mu Lanfeng's eyes were stern. "Sanniang, thank you so much. We should set off now without further delay!"

The two men used their lightness skills and rushed towards the southern suburbs like two gusts of wind.
