Huo Qi weakly waved his hand, a frown on his face, clearly unwilling to talk.
Zhao Chang casually uttered two words before immediately closing his mouth, his brow furrowing as he spoke more urgently, "Qi Family Head, you should quickly accompany me to report to the Empress Dowager." He then remembered Cai Zhuo beside him and added, "I will take Qi Family Head with me first. If His Majesty wishes to see Cai Zhuo..."
Cai Zhuo interrupted him with a smile, "His Majesty actually wants to invite Miss Sang into the palace for a chat."
"That's good; I'll take the person with me first."
Cai Zhuo watched them leave before turning to scrutinize Sang Qingxiao. "Miss Sang, have you been enjoying yourself these days?"
"Not really. I've been dealing with a series of matters one after another; it’s less relaxing than being in the Small Tavern. By the way, why does His Majesty seek me?"
"It’s just casual conversation," Cai Zhuo whispered. "The Marquis hasn’t returned, and he hasn’t brought Qi Lang or Qi Shuo with him. I’ve heard that things have indeed been chaotic over in the province, with troops from several surrounding areas being mobilized. His Majesty is genuinely worried and wants to ask you about it."
After a pause, he continued, "The sudden arrival of Qi Family Head in the capital and the Empress Dowager summoning him—who knows what it’s all about?"
This question shouldn’t have been asked by Cai Zhuo; discussing their master privately was quite disrespectful. However, Cai Zhuo spoke up anyway, intending to remind Sang Qingxiao that His Majesty would definitely pay attention to this matter and that she should be prepared.
Sang Qingxiao reciprocated quietly, "Cai, this whole situation involves too many parties. Even if His Majesty asks me, I will only selectively say a few things. The intricacies will be revealed when Qi Xiaomian returns to meet the Emperor. You should keep your distance while serving."
The things the Empress Dowager did in private were tarnishing the reputation of the royal family and His Majesty would certainly not want too many people to know about it. Even those serving closely should avoid hearing things they shouldn’t.
Sang Qingxiao and Cai Zhuo exchanged glances, both understanding each other's goodwill. Cai Zhuo invited Sang Qingxiao onto the carriage, and they only discussed what they saw on the road without delving into anything else.
When they met His Majesty, they were indeed questioned about the situation in the province and Qi Xiaomian's movements.
"Your Majesty, I'm not a mind reader; how would I know all his affairs? I can’t possibly recount every detail; I only know a rough outline."
"Qi Hao suddenly wants to celebrate his birthday," Sang Qingxiao continued. "Qi Xiaomian found it suspicious and wanted to check it out."
"We were invited by Jianghu Aristocracy Liang Family to see the world of martial arts."
"Different purposes but on the same path; we just happened to run into each other."
Upon arriving at the province, Qi Hao wouldn’t let Qi Xiaomian enter, leading to a commotion at the door.
While I was outside watching the excitement, I noticed something was off about Qi Hao and asked Qi Xiaomian to take me into the Qi Family for closer observation.
What I discovered was alarming: Qi Hao was possessed by an Evil Object that had taken advantage of his position to commit numerous misdeeds.
Among these were the troops mobilized outside Yanzhou City.
After the others learned about it, they secretly acted alongside Qi Xiaomian, catching the Evil Object off guard and helping the Qi Family Head reclaim his body, stabilizing the situation in the city.
The troops outside were merely trapped in the mountains, and there was no clash of swords between the two sides. That night, they were sent back by Qi Xiaomian.
It had only been a few days since the discovery of the Evil Object, and the various factions had suffered only minor injuries, with no casualties. Qi Xiaomian remained there to eliminate the hidden dangers left by the Evil Object. When I left the province, they had already cleared most of it and would surely return to the capital soon. If His Majesty wishes to know more details, he can ask him when he returns.
Qin Mu Hui nodded; Sang Qingxiao's words matched what little information he could gather. He then recalled that Qi Hao had once been possessed by the Evil Object and frowned. How could Qi Hao enter the capital?
Qi Hao had been invaded by the Evil Object for many years, causing significant damage to his body. He needed regular treatment, which involved not only medication but also assistance from someone like me, a Demon Catcher. Since Qi Xiaomian provided a lot of support, I agreed to help.
