Chapter 44 I am the one who had a secret meeting with Xie Yao

The one who spoke was Bai Shi, the guard beside King Jingbei.

Xie Yao raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and saw King Jingbei himself appear at the door of the No. 1 box.

The prince was wearing a navy blue uniform embroidered with gold patterns today. He sat upright in a wheelchair, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, his face was as pale as ever, and his expression was indifferent.

"King Jingbei?" Su Huai'en naturally knew Xiao Yizi, but he didn't expect him to appear here.

He frowned slightly and looked at Xie Yao.

Then he bowed and saluted: "I greet Your Highness! I wonder why Your Highness has come here?"

Xiao Yizi nodded slightly and said meaningfully, "This king, of course, was invited."

Xie Yao's eyes flashed, and she always felt that King Jingbei was reminding her of something again.

Xie Chengyu heard the noise and took the opportunity to raise his head.

It’s the King of Jingbei, it’s really the King of Jingbei! Why is he here?

Did he receive the news from me and come to arrest Xie Yao who was having a secret meeting with Lu Shenyan?

However, why did Xie Yao not appear in the brothel, but appeared here?

Xie Chengyu was being held down by three of his men and was about to be beaten with a military stick in public when he suddenly began to struggle violently.

He had many questions in his mind, but he didn't bother to think about them. He shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Highness, Xie Yao had a secret meeting with a man and secretly got married here. Such a person is not worthy of entering the Jingbei Palace!"

"I just wanted to discipline her, but I didn't expect her to call Su Huai'en and expel me from the Jingji Camp for no reason. These two are a den of snakes and rats, bullying others by taking advantage of their power. Please save me, Your Highness!"

He regarded King Jingbei as his life-saving straw.

Xiao Yizi pressed his index finger, and a pair of smooth armrests appeared on each side of the wheelchair under him.

Two guards stepped forward, held the handrails, and steadily lifted the wheelchair down the stairs like a sedan chair.

Bai Mi pushed the prince in front of Su Huai'en.

Xiao Yizi frowned and looked up at him.

Bai Su looked puzzled. Why was the prince looking at him? What had he done wrong? Didn’t he want to talk to General Huben?

Xiao Yizi scratched his fingers and calmly decided: From now on, I will never bring white peony with me when I go out!!!

He slightly stretched his arms expressionlessly, turned the wheelchair, and maintained a calm posture until... he moved in front of Xie Yao.

He then spoke, his voice neither too loud nor too low, just enough for everyone around him to hear:

"I am the man who secretly met with Second Miss Xie. There is no need for a private marriage. Second Miss Xie and I are already in a relationship."

"What?" Xie Chengyu froze. He never expected King Jingbei to say that.

Xie Yao's face flushed, but she quickly reacted and nodded, "I already told you, I came to Yunhe Tower to bring food to the prince, but my cousin just didn't believe me."

"Impossible, no, Your Highness, you can't cover up for her. She clearly received Lu Shenyan's letter! Your Highness, you can't just ignore me. I... we are a family after all. I am Xie Yao's brother!"

Li San kicked him again: "Xie Dashao, just shut up! Is there any brother like you who would murder his sister? And you dare to question the prince? Who do you think you are!"

Xie Chengyu almost vomited blood and asked unwillingly, "Then why did the prince ask them to stop just now?"

Xie Yao also raised her eyebrows and waited for King Jingbei's answer with interest.

Xiao Yizi: "Get out of Yunhe Tower and don't dirty my eyes."

His deep, dark peach blossom eyes held a smile as he softly asked Xie Yao, "Didn't you say you'd bring me some food? What did Second Miss Xie order this time?"

Seeing that they were still stunned, Bai Su said, "Don't you understand? Stopping doesn't mean not fighting, but not fighting in Yunhe Tower. Don't be an eyesore in front of the prince and princess!"

If it weren't for the sake of Second Miss Xie's reputation and the fact that she shouldn't bully others, he would have wanted to shout out that Yunhe Tower was the property of the Xiao family.

Su Huai'en ordered: "Do it outside and don't disturb the diners in Yunhe Tower."

Xie Chengyu trembled all over and questioned, "General Su, please leave some space for me so that we can meet again in the future. Even if I disobeyed military orders, why did you still beat me with a military stick since you have already expelled me from the Jingji Camp?"

Su Huai'en said word by word: "Thirty military sticks, not one less."

"Xie Yao, I am your cousin. If you scheme against me like this and it gets out, everyone will say you are an uneducated lunatic. Who would dare to marry you?"

Xie Yao said in a relaxed tone: "My Lord, marry me."

The smile on Xiao Yizi's lips deepened a little, but his peach blossom eyes narrowed, becoming deep and unfathomable.

"Take this thing and parade it around East and West Sixth Street and beat it up, so that the people of the capital can see. This is what happens when you defame the reputation of the prince and the princess."

This one sentence frightened the crowd of people watching in Yunhe Tower and made Xie Chengyu completely despair.

It's over, these two words are the only ones left in his mind.

After being dismissed from his post and expelled from the military, he might still study hard, give up military service and pursue literature, and then pass the imperial examination.

But if he is dragged for a "parade", he will become the laughing stock of the entire capital, and his career in the government will be hopeless!

Only Bai Su complained inwardly: "Prince, do you still have a good reputation?"

As he was being dragged away, Xie Chengyu suddenly became hysterical: "Prince Jingbei, you abused your power, used it for personal gain, and harmed the captains in the army. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the emperor? I want to sue the emperor, I want to sue the emperor!"

Bai Mi picked up his boots that had fallen off the ground with disgust and stuffed them into his mouth.

Xiao Yizi muttered to himself calmly: "He wants to tell the emperor."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Bai Shen used his hand as a knife and placed it on his neck, gesturing: "Let me help the prince deal with it?"

Xiao Yizi shook his head and smiled. His smile was defiant and evil, reminding Xie Yao of a cunning and cruel wild leopard in the north. It was never in a hurry to bite when hunting, but always liked to tease its prey enough before enjoying it slowly and leisurely.

He deliberately turned his head to face Xie Yao and said slowly: "I will help him tell the emperor."

Everyone present shuddered at the same time.

Prince Jingbei is indeed more cruel and ruthless than the rumors say. He beat this guy up like a parade through the streets, ruining the reputation of the eldest young master of the Xie family. It is even crueler than killing him. No wonder the eldest young master Xie went crazy and threatened the emperor.

However, Prince Jingbei did not take the reputation and threats seriously at all. He even took the initiative to report the matter to the emperor!

What a lunatic!

Only Xie Yao's eyes lit up.

Her King Jingbei was more interesting than she had expected.

Xiao Yizi's eyes fell on Su Huai'en and Pu Wei, but after just a few glances, he lost interest.

He knew Xie Yao had a secret, but he didn't care.

Xie Yao thought that King Jingbei would at least ask about her relationship with Su Huai'en. She planned to say that she and Old Su were colleagues in the army and old acquaintances in the northern border, so it would not be considered a lie.

Xiao Yizi didn't mention these things, but suddenly moved closer.

He met her gaze, curled his lips and said, "I was unhappy with my private meeting with Second Miss Xie today. The King will come to visit me again this day, and we can meet again in private."

Such rebellious words, coming out of Xiao Yizi's mouth, surprisingly didn't sound out of place at all. It was beyond her expectations, but also reasonable.

"Okay, then I will wait for the prince at home." She replied with a curved eye.

Xie Yao had a premonition that after she married Xiao Yi, they would become the most murderous, insidious and cunning couple in the eyes of the people of Dayan.

Bai Su pushed Xiao Yizi to leave, but she stopped him and said, "Your Highness looks much better than before. You should eat more delicious food. I ordered fish soup, and it should be ready soon. Your Highness, please send someone to the kitchen to get it."

Although the fish soup was requested for his mother, there was nothing wrong with giving it to him as well.

Xiao Yizi's wheelchair stopped for a moment, and Bai Mi went into the kitchen of Yunhe Tower and waited until the fish soup was ready before taking it away and leaving.

Inside the carriage, as soon as Bai Mi got on, Xiao Yizi took the soup bowl. After a moment's thought, he felt it was unbecoming to drink soup in the carriage, so he ordered, "Go faster."

Bai Mi: "Your Majesty, this fish soup is nothing special, it's all homemade."

"Get out of the car."

"Ah? Now?"

"Now," Xiao Yizi said with a cold expression, "investigate today's events thoroughly... so that I can tell the emperor everything."

In Yunhe Tower, the onlookers dispersed, and Pu Wei went to the counter and ordered another bowl of fish soup.

In front of Xie Yao, only Su Huai'en was left.
