Hearing the conversation between the two women, Princess Xi's face changed slightly, and then she quickly pushed Ai Li.

Seeing this, Ellie also knew that the situation was critical, and quickly walked down the stairs in the other direction.

While holding on to the stairs to guard her, she fled in a hurry, and looked back from time to time.

The two maids who had been with Princess Xi the whole time turned the corner and did not notice her. Instead, they walked towards Princess Xi's room talking and laughing.

Then she glanced at Princess Xi eagerly: Seeing that she had successfully gone downstairs, Princess Xi seemed to be relieved and walked back to the bedroom with the door ajar.

Seeing this scene, Ellie's eyes fluctuated slightly and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Slowing down her pace, Ellie quietly walked out of the villa. All the things that echoed in her mind were the whispers Princess Xi had said to her.

The Kou family wants to rebel?

Princess Xi is controlled?

Is Mr. Pang related to the death of her parents?

This piece of information was more impactful than the previous one, causing her brain to shut down a bit.

Therefore, until she walked out of the villa and walked to Yanyan and Xueer, Ellie was a little unable to recover.

Xue'er has always only cared about herself, so when she saw Ellie like that, she just thought that her parents' matter had a great impact on her, so she didn't care.

However, Yanyan, who was simple on the outside but extremely rich on the inside, was keenly aware that something was wrong. She quietly came to Ellie's side, then moved her nose slightly and sniffed lightly.

'The light body fragrance mixed with the fragrance of milk is the smell of Princess Xi?'

'Did Princess Xi give her personal belongings to Ai Li?'

Thinking this, Yanyan couldn't help but look back at the villa.

‘.My preparation for helping the master tonight is so useful? The princess didn’t want to wait any longer and just took the bait?’

'Or. The situation in the 6th shelter has become extremely complicated and dangerous?'

Because there was too little information, Yanyan couldn't analyze much valuable things for the time being, so she could only keep her doubts in her heart.

The three of them came to accompany Princess Xi, and of course they couldn't bring anyone with them. So when walking back, Ai Li drove, while Yanyan and Xue'er sat in the back seat.

Maybe I was a little sleepy after chatting with Princess Xi all night. So as soon as the car started, Xueer put her arms around Yanyan's waist, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.

While the vehicle was driving, the scene outside the car window kept moving backwards. But there was silence inside the car.

After driving like this for a few minutes, Ellie suddenly spoke.

She asked softly, "Yanyan, if someone told you that one of your very respectable elders might have problems, what would you think?"

'It's over, Ellie is really going to leave her and go eat snacks alone!'

Yanyan's face showed no expression, but her heart was surging like ocean waves.

As early as tonight's dinner, Yanyan actually noticed Princess Xi's unnatural state and Kou Yu's arrogant and domineering appearance.

Although she couldn't figure out why this happened, Yanyan was still clearly aware of the many contradictions within the envoy group.

Therefore, after Princess Xi clearly expressed her interest in Qiu Tu tonight, she would take the initiative to expose Qiu Tu's strength and power.

Sure enough, Princess Xi took the bait and wanted to use Qiu Tu's power to break the situation.

As for why Princess Xi didn't use other senior officials from the Eighth Sanctuary, such as Mr. Pang, to break the situation, Yanyan had two guesses.

Otherwise, Mr. Pang's position is too high, and Princess Xi is worried that she cannot control it, and finally leads the wolf into the house.

Otherwise, Mr. Pang may have certain problems.

After all, as the leader of the "Academic School", Mr. Pang should be the one with the closest ties to the 6th Sanctuary among all the senior officials of the 8th Sanctuary.

One of them might have a close relationship with the Kou family.

Of course, these are just Yanyan's speculations and there is no solid evidence.

But now Ellie's words have confirmed all her guesses.

Therefore, she didn't even need to think about it, she guessed that tonight Ellie would go to see Qiu Tu at Princess Xi's request to talk about cooperation matters.

Yanyan doesn't know whether Qiu Tu will cooperate with Princess Xi. But Yanyan knows that regardless of whether they cooperate or not, Qiu Tu will definitely be eaten if Aili takes the initiative to send her to her door!

'Obviously I am the master's exclusive gold-eating beast!'

'Why is it that Ellie is the one enjoying the happiness now!'

Thinking of this, Yanyan couldn't help but feel a little angry

But after thinking that the main target this time was not Ellie, but Princess Xi, Yanyan suppressed her jealousy and decided to cooperate again.

After all, she believed that if she obediently worked for the benefit of her master, her master would definitely reward her.

At the same time, while Yanyan was talking to Ai Li.

Pang Lao's temporary residence in Dongcheng City also welcomed a guest at this time.

Looking at the uninvited guest at the door, Pang Lao's eyes darkened slightly, but he still nodded and said, "Master Kou, please come inside."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the study room on the first floor.

Behind him is Kou Yu, the cabinet minister of the 6th Sanctuary, deputy head of the envoy group, and the second eldest son of the Kou family.

After leading Kou Yu to the study, Mr. Pang closed the door behind his back.

He poured a glass of water for Kou Yu with a gloomy expression, then placed it heavily on the table, and said calmly, "You have gone too far!"

Faced with Pang Lao, one of the leaders of the 8th Sanctuary, Kou Yu didn't have much respect.

He sat down with his legs crossed, still looking arrogant and domineering, with his eyes raised above his head.

He glanced sideways at Mr. Pang, and then said in a pretense of confusion, "What's too much? Mr. Pang, what are you talking about?"

Hearing this, Mr. Pang snorted coldly, said with a sullen face, "Who do you think you can hide from those little tricks you did?"

"Qiu Tu is not a fool, and neither are the other senior officials who came down. Who can't see that the princess is under your control?"

"You haven't taken control of Sanctuary 6 yet. Do you know how ugly the scene is?"

After hearing what Mr. Pang said, Kou Yu took a sip of water and said, "So what if you see it."

"I just want them to see it. Let them know that our Kou family has the final say in the 6th shelter now."

"Prince Kang and the princess are just our puppets!"

Speaking of this, he may have noticed that Pang Lao had been criticizing him. Kou Yu let out a "tsk", then raised his head and counterattacked, "By the way, Lao Pang, why are you pretending to be compassionate like a cat crying like a mouse?"

"Don't you have a share of the credit for this current situation?"

Kou Yu said angrily, "At the beginning, I don't know who told my brother that the monarchy is a retrogression of the times."

"Say, according to Leviathan's social contract theory, the state is a political system supported by the people and serving the people."

"The rights of the state are transferred by the people. The state cannot exercise powers that are not given by the people. The people must always be wary of the state exercising powers beyond the permission."

"So, monarchy is an alienated political system that uses violence to deprive the people of power. It is a dictatorship."

"That's why you are willing to cooperate with us to cut off several of King Kang's men who he likes and cultivates."

"It directly led to the decline of King Kang's power, and he began to gradually lose control of the sanctuary."

Speaking of this, Kou Yu leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked at Old Pang provocatively with three white eyes, "What? Old Pang, now that things have happened, you are starting to blame us?"

Upon hearing Kou Yu's words, Pang Lao's face turned blue and white.

He stared at Kou Yu, just staring.

After a moment, he snorted coldly, then sat down heavily and said, "I was thinking about Xu Xu."

"First let the 6th Sanctuary change from a "dual constitutional monarchy" to a "parliamentary constitutional monarchy" and deprive the monarch of his real power."

"Then the monarchy will be abolished and turned into a republic."

"Just do it step by step."

"Who knew you would take such big steps?" After hearing Pang Lao's words, Kou Yu said carelessly,

"Don't put such a big blame on my head."

"I killed all of Princess Xi's personal entourage and maids, and then restricted Princess Xi a little."

"But it's not because I'm afraid that she will have some thoughts that she shouldn't have, which will cause trouble to our plan. I didn't do anything to her."

"As for the rest, it's my brother's decision. If you have any questions, just go to my brother directly."

Pang Lao's expression froze.

In front of him could not help but appear the legendary figure who was as wise as a demon, who worked with King Kang to establish the 6th Sanctuary, and single-handedly brought the Kou family to the top again.

In the many crises in Shelter 6 and the Kou family, it was that man who turned the tide and saved the building from collapse.

Even Rao Lao praised him as a true hero and joked that he had half of the credit for the Sixth Sanctuary.

Therefore, Mr. Pang hesitated for a moment, but finally did not continue.

He was silent for a moment, then smoothed things over and said in a low voice, "Okay. Didn't I transfer Huang Shangzong specifically for your sake?"

"He had an old relationship with Ellie's parents back then, and he has been raising Ellie as half a daughter for the past 10 years. If he knew about our plan, he might explode."
