Hu Qi was woken up by the splash of North Cold Water, he squinted his eyes to survey his surroundings, and the moment he met the King of the South Yue’s sinister gaze, Hu Qi’s heart trembled, and he immediately crawled up, not caring about the pain in his head.

His clothes were all drenched and he was dripping with water. He knelt on the ground and hurriedly saluted, "This son greets Royal Father."

The breeze of the night blew past and sent a strand of cold air. Hu Qi shuddered as he felt his entire body turn cold.

He thought, wasn’t he at Ling Hua’s place, why would he come to Royal Father’s place? Oh right, Ling Hua, how is she?

At that moment, in front of the King of the South Yue, Hu Qi did not dare act recklessly. He knelt down obediently, even though his heart was in a mess.

"Heh, Crown Prince, you also know that I’m your Royal Father. When you were making trouble at the inn, why didn’t you think of me?" King of the South Yue’s face darkened as he said indifferently. Hu Qi was truly his good son.

Hu Qi was so scared that he did not dare say a word. After drinking, how could he still remember what he did?

Right now, his drunkenness was gone, and he regretted drinking the wine on impulse. Ling Hua did not find him, and was even scolded by the Royal Father.

He slightly raised his head, and his bright eyes quickly circled around the Imperial Study. He was immediately overjoyed in his heart, because he saw Hu Xiao’s dress.

"The dignified crown prince of a country cries bitterly in front of a woman’s door while holding her in his arms. Everyone knows about this matter; I want to see just how you will raise your head in front of a high official from now on!" The more King of the South Yue said, the angrier he felt. Although he did not see his son cry, he could imagine it too. frёewebnoѵēl.com

This was too embarrassing!

The representatives of the other three nations would definitely go to the crown prince who was laughing at his South Yue. King of the South Yue clenched his fists tightly. He was furious in his heart and scolded Hu Qi for a whole quarter of an hour.

Seeing that Royal Brother was tired from scolding him, Hu Xiao immediately poured a cup of warm tea and brought it to King of the South Yue, saying in a grand tone: "Royal Brother, Qi’er is still young, and is currently in the stage of love.

The reason why King of the South Yue was willing to scold him was because he thought highly of him. He believed that he still had some hope of being saved, if it was any other prince, King of the South Yue would not be so angry.

Just then, Hu Xiao shot a glance at Hu Qi, and signaled him with her eyes. Hu Qi immediately understood, he slammed his forehead onto the ground and said respectfully: "Royal Father, it’s good that you hit this son, and it’s fine that you curse this son. This son does not have a single complaint, I only have one thing to ask, Royal Father, do not be angry and lose your body."

He played the role of a filial son, seeing him like this, King of the South Yue’s Qi dissipated a lot, he took the tea from Hu Xiao and took a sip, feeling his body feeling much better.

Following that, Hu Xiao sent Hu Qi away. She did not know about the plan that they had yesterday, so Hu Xiao planned to tell him about Lu Yin.

"Sister, what else do you want?" King of the South Yue pursed his lips and asked indifferently.

King of the South Yue’s aura had not completely dissipated, obviously, his mind was still thinking about Hu Qi.

This kid was too much of a prankster! How proper it was for a crown prince to cry and make a ruckus outside a girl’s door!

Both of Hu Xiao’s hands rested on top of the table as she looked down at King of the South Yue from above and said in a low voice: "Royal Brother, the reason I invited Prince of the North Qiang and Third Princess to the banquet last night was actually to save Lu Yin."

Hearing that, King of the South Yue was stunned. Why did saving Lu Yin have anything to do with the two of them? Could it be that the two of them had kidnapped Lu Yin?

Hu Xiao seemed to be able to read King of the South Yue’s thoughts. She nodded and said, "Royal Brother, you guessed right. It was the two of them that kidnapped Lu Yin. Royal Brother must be very confused, why was it Lu Yin that was kidnapped by them, and not someone else? "

Hu Xiao turned around with her back facing King of the South Yue. She smiled and continued, "I also only found out yesterday morning that Lu Yin is from North Qiang, Prince of the North Qiang kidnapped him because he wants him to be their spy."

After listening, the King of the South Yue frowned. He never thought that North Qiang would have such a huge appetite, and actually want to devour the capital of the South Yue.

He was so angry that his face turned green, he had not even fired at North Qiang, yet North Qiang actually had the idea of using South Yue.

Fortunately, he had guessed the intentions of the North Qiang two days ago, so King of the South Yue was not surprised.

"Then why didn’t you save Lu Yin?" The King of the South Yue caught hold of the key point of this matter, he thought, if he save Lu Yin, then he would not be able to become the center of attention for the North Qiang.

Since he was someone from the North Qiang, staying in the South Yue would sooner or later become a hidden danger, so it would be better to send him off as soon as possible.

Royal Brother, I have already discussed this with Lu Yin, we will let him be our spy, and we will use him as our counter. " Saying that, Hu Xiao’s face was full of smiles. If the Prince of the North Qiang wanted to swallow the South Yue, it would have to see if he had the ability.

On the other side, Qin Shuo opened his eyes in a daze. He felt an intense pain on his neck, and suddenly forgot what had happened.

"Oh yeah, it’s Xiao-Xiao. She knocked me out." Qin Shuo couldn’t figure it out, the two of them shared the same thoughts and morals, they went together to save Lu Yin, but Hu Xiao just directly put him down.

He cleared his throat, his mouth dry and unable to move, and when he looked down, he saw that he was tied to a rope.

Qin Shuo tried his best to struggle free, but the rope did not budge an inch.

"Someone, untie the rope!" Qin Shuo said with an commanding tone. He had a lot of questions in his heart, and was waiting for Hu Xiao to answer.

When Zhi Lan, who was outside, heard the noise, pushed the door open and took a look. When she saw that Qin Shuo looked like a lion in a cage, she couldn’t help but laugh.

"Let me go." Qin Shuo saw Zhi Lan and called out to her.

It was a good thing that he closed the door, leaving Qin Shuo alone. No matter how high of a quality Qin Shuo had, he would still be angry and curse inside.

Zhi Lan immediately sent people to find Hu Xiao, and Qin Shuo woke up. Without the princess, no one could control him.

"Aiyo, Princess, I’ve finally found you." Zhi Lan saw Hu Xiao who had just come out from the Imperial Study from afar. She excitedly rushed over, "Princess, King of the East Court has woken up and is asking to see you."

Hearing that, Hu Xiao smiled and squinted, she could completely imagine how explosive Qin Shuo’s hair would be.

"Sure, this princess will go back and visit him." Hu Xiao’s smile did not stop, she was walking happily, her mind was filled with Qin Shuo’s handsome face.
