Chapter 525: Slippery Talk

Based on the prince's understanding of the concubines in the harem, they would never do meaningless things. Concubine Xian specially invited the prince's four concubines to appreciate the flowers, which must have been for ulterior motives.

Luo Qinghan didn't want Xiao Xixi to face all those intrigues, so it would be best if she didn't go.

As for whether doing so would cause dissatisfaction among Empress Xian, that was not within his consideration at all.

Anyway, as long as he is there, he can protect Xiao Xixi.

The next day.

Concubine Jing and Concubine Bai were invited to the Jinxiu Palace where Concubine Xian lived.

Neither Concubine Xiao nor Concubine Li went.

Concubine Xiao did it because she was too lazy to move, and Concubine Li did it because she didn't want to go out and be laughed at.

Concubine Li has now become as fat as a piggy girl. She doesn't think anything of it when she stays in the Jinfeng Palace, but if she goes out, she will definitely be laughed at by others. She knows too well what the women in the palace think.

If she were in his shoes, and saw Concubine Bai suddenly become as fat as a pig, she would definitely seize the opportunity to laugh at her.

So she didn't want to go out. She couldn't give Concubine Bai and Concubine Jing the chance to laugh at her.

Empress Xian didn't know the reason behind this.

When she saw that Concubine Li and Concubine Xiao rejected her invitation, she didn't say anything but was very unhappy in her heart.

Concubine Jing and Concubine Bai took this opportunity to say a lot of bad things about Concubine Li and Concubine Xiao, completely ruining their impression in Concubine Xian's mind.

Empress Xian took them to visit the garden and admire the blooming flowers.

They talked as they walked.

Empress Xian smiled and talked about the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.

"The Emperor attaches great importance to this birthday banquet, so it must be well organized. I have discussed this with Concubine Ning and Concubine Hui, and each palace must put on a program, including your Eastern Palace.

The Eastern Palace doesn't have a Crown Princess yet, so I can only discuss this with you four concubines. Unexpectedly, Concubine Li and Concubine Xiao both have something to do and can't come, so I have no choice but to hand this matter over to you two.

I hope you will not let me down and will prepare carefully.

If you can win the Queen Mother's favor at the birthday banquet, you will surely enjoy many benefits in the future."

Concubine Jing and Concubine Bai nodded in agreement, saying that they would do their best to handle the matter.

After leaving Jinxiu Palace, Concubine Jing and Concubine Bai got on their respective sedan chairs.

The two sedan chairs moved forward side by side.

Concubine Jing smiled and said, "Sister, do you have any ideas about the program for the birthday banquet?"

Concubine Bai said softly, "I have always been stupid. I really can't make up my mind about such an important matter."

"Sister, you are too modest. I heard that you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially chess. How can someone with such superb chess skills be stupid?"

"Sister, please don't laugh at me. You are also very good at playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. I remember that during the last Mid-Autumn family dinner, you played a piece of guqin in public. The sound of the zither lingered in my ears for three days. I still remember it in my heart and have not forgotten it."

After Concubine Bai's reminder, Concubine Jing immediately remembered the dark history of playing together with Xiao Xixi at the Mid-Autumn family dinner.

Concubine Jing's smile was a little stiff: "It's been so long, I didn't expect that sister still remembered that thing, sister has a really good memory."

Concubine Bai smiled softly: "Such a wonderful performance, I will definitely remember it for the rest of my life."

Concubine Jing didn't want to talk anymore.

The conversation between the two ended there.

The sedan chair separated at the intersection and went in different directions.

…

Zhao Xian walked quickly into Minguang Palace.

"Your Highness, the person I sent to follow King You has disappeared."

Luo Qinghan put down the file in his hand, frowned and asked: "What do you mean by missing?"

Zhao Xian answered truthfully: "Those people followed King You's carriage and left Shengjing. The next day, they disappeared, along with King You's carriage. I sent people to search along the way, but found no trace of them."

Luo Qinghan asked slowly: "In other words, King You is missing?"

"Yes."

In order to prevent Luo Yunxuan from causing any more trouble, Luo Qinghan specially asked someone to secretly keep an eye on him, but who would have thought that even the person who was following him disappeared.

No one knows where Luo Yunxuan has gone right now.

Luo Qinghan asked: "Do you think King You hid himself? Or was he kidnapped?"

Zhao Xian: "I don't know."

Luo Qinghan remained silent.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the file spread out in front of him.

This is the file sent by the Ministry of Justice, which contains all the information about Xueyu Tower.

After the severe crackdown some time ago, many killers in Xueyu Tower were caught by the government, and two of them were even the top killers on the Xueyu Tower rankings.

The two killers were sent to the Ministry of Justice and interrogated by Dong Mingchun personally.

Dong Mingchun dug out a very important clue from them:

The person who paid money to hire a killer to assassinate the eldest prince and attempted to put the blame on the crown prince was none other than Prince You Luo Yunxuan!

There are two killers as witnesses. If this matter is exposed, Luo Yunxuan will be completely finished.

But it was still too late.

At this juncture, Luo Yunxuan suddenly disappeared.

Even though Luo Qinghan now has the evidence in his hand, he can't do anything to him as long as he can't find Luo Yunxuan.

Luo Qinghan murmured, "What a coincidence."

Zhao Xian was puzzled: "What do you mean by coincidence?"

"Just when the Ministry of Justice obtained the evidence of King You's murder, King You disappeared. It was such a coincidence."

Zhao Xian tried to ask, "Could it be that King You knew about the Ministry of Justice's actions in advance and hid on purpose?"

Luo Qinghan: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. You should go back first and continue to track down the whereabouts of King You."

"Yes."

Taking advantage of the recent good weather, Xiao Xixi had a grape trellis built in the backyard of Qingge Palace.

The grape seedlings had just been planted and had not grown up yet, so there was only a bare rack. But this did not prevent Xiao Xixi from hiding under the rack and taking a nap.

In her dream, she imagined the beautiful scene of grape racks full of grapes in the future.

She couldn't even help drooling in her sleep.

When Luo Qinghan arrived at Qingge Palace, he saw her sleeping with drooling in her silly look.

He walked over and pinched her nose.

Xiao Xixi was suffocated awake.

As soon as she saw it was the prince, she couldn't help but complain.

"Why do you always disturb my sweet dreams?!"

Luo Qinghan sat down next to her and said calmly: "I can only blame you for always sleeping and dreaming. Can't your life be more meaningful? For example, go out for a walk and see the outside world."

Xiao Xixi wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, yawned, and said lazily.

"Yes, the world is so big. I originally wanted to go out and see a lot, but now that I'm married to you, I don't want to look around anymore. From now on, just looking at you is enough."

Luo Qinghan: “…”

This woman's sweet words came out so suddenly that he was completely unprepared.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms, hugging her, and said expressionlessly, "You're so slick."

Concubine Li: I have given up treatment.
