Chapter 212 Shangguan Hong jumped out from nowhere

When he heard the three words "Stork Tower", Xiao Ziyuan stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head and his eyes fell on Qi Huan opposite him.

The beautiful red phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as if in thought.

After Xiao Ziyuan pondered for a moment, he waved his hand, signaling Wu Zhu to go down first.

The fire in the Guanque Tower was deliberately planned by Qi Huan and Shen Qingpei.

Qi Huan is Shen Qingpei's person, maybe he can get their plan out of her.

This can also help the fifth princess.

When Qi Huan saw that Xiao Ziyuan really listened to her, a smug look flashed in her eyes.

She knew that since she was so pretty, Xiao Ziyuan must have some feelings for her.

Qi Huan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and walked to Xiao Ziyuan's side.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ziyuan immediately said, "Goddess Qi Huan, please speak up if you have anything to say. There is no need to get so close."

Qi Huan pursed his lips awkwardly and had to stop where he was.

She comforted herself in her heart that this was the first time Xiao Ziyuan spoke to her, so it was normal for him to be cold and polite to her. It would be fine once they got to know each other better.

She has this confidence in herself.

Qi Huan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Ziyuan, with a smug look in his eyes.

"Mr. Xiao lives in the capital, so he naturally knows my current reputation in the capital. The people are..."

Xiao Ziyuan's eyes flashed with impatience, and he interrupted directly, "Goddess, just say what you want to say. I don't like beating around the bush."

He didn't want to listen to Qi Huan continuing to brag about him.

It's obvious that I got my reputation by playing tricks, so what is there to be proud of?

Qi Huan's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Why did she feel that Xiao Ziyuan was so hostile towards her?

They just met for the first time today.

But now she has no other choice.

Shen Qingpei is in a weak position now, and she must find a way out for herself.

Moreover, she truly loves Xiao Ziyuan.

Qi Huan took a deep breath and looked at him steadily.

"Mr. Xiao is a rare talent, how could he be willing to follow the Fifth Princess around like a lackey? A real man should make achievements and achieve fame."

"With my reputation and your wisdom, Mr. Xiao, why should we worry about not achieving great things?"

She has been investigating Xiao Ziyuan a lot these days.

Xiao Ziyuan was the legitimate son of Prince Rui before, but later when Prince Rui got into trouble, Xiao Ziyuan's status plummeted. How could he not hate the emperor?

Although he is still young, his strategy and talent have already begun to show. In recent years, he has even begun to help Princess Duanyang manage the business.

If she forms an alliance with Xiao Ziyuan, she will definitely succeed, and she won't have to worry about her future glory and wealth.

By then, the two of them will fight side by side and develop feelings for each other over time...

When Qi Huan thought of this, the tips of his ears couldn't help but turn red.

She pursed her lips and continued impatiently: "I can help you, and you can avenge your father. Then the two of us..."

Xiao Ziyuan couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted her directly.

He looked at Qi Huan as if he was looking at an idiot.

This woman actually encouraged him to rebel in the palace? Is she crazy?

He has no interest in being emperor.

What are you talking about revenge for your father?

He wished he could kill King Rui with his own hands. What revenge was he taking for him?

At this moment, a very familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears.

[Oh my god, I didn’t expect that the plot would still develop according to the original book in a place I couldn’t see…]

The sound was sweet and crisp, and Xiao Ziyuan recognized it immediately.

It’s Suisui!

He turned his head, and although there was some distance between them, Xiao Ziyuan still saw her at a glance.

When Shangguan Sui saw that he was discovered by Xiao Ziyuan, he could only smile at him awkwardly.

[Oh, I’ve been discovered…]

[But I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to walk in here. Who knew they would be talking here…]

[In the original book, Qi Huan fell in love with Xiao Ziyuan at first sight. At that time, Xiao Ziyuan also had the idea of ​​rebellion, but Shen Qingpei was more powerful at that time. Xiao Ziyuan used Qi Huan to get a lot of information about Shen Qingpei from her, and finally killed Shen Qingpei in one fell swoop.]

Xiao Ziyuan: …

Is he so unscrupulous in the original book?

[Alas, at that time, Xiao Ziyuan was blinded by hatred and wanted revenge, so he used everyone around him who could be used. ]

When Qi Huan saw Shangguan Sui, his face suddenly turned ashen.

Damn it! Why is the fifth princess here?

Did she hear anything?!

Qi Huan was flustered for a moment, and after bowing, he couldn't wait to leave.

Shangguan Sui looked at Qi Huan's hurriedly leaving back, his brows twitching slightly.

As soon as she caught Xiao Ziyuan's eye, she immediately raised her hands in surrender.

She looked at him without blinking. "I swear, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."

"I just heard one sentence!"

Seeing her panic-stricken face and her eagerness to prove her innocence, Xiao Ziyuan couldn't help but curl his lips.

"I naturally believe the princess."

Shangguan Sui then slowly breathed a sigh of relief and walked to Xiao Ziyuan's side.

Before she could say anything, Xiao Ziyuan said, "Qi Huan just encouraged me to rebel."

【What?! 】

Shangguan Sui barely managed to catch his breath.

She coughed hard and stammered, "She, she was in the palace, encouraging you to rebel?"

[My god, it takes a very smart person to come up with such an idea.]

[No wonder Qi Huan in the original book was tricked by Xiao Ziyuan into revealing all of Shen Qingpei's plans.]

[Her brain is still as bad as ever...]

Xiao Ziyuan couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the complaints.

But another question couldn't help but emerge in my mind.

These days, he has looked up many storybooks, but still doesn't quite understand.

Xiao Ziyuan lowered his eyelashes and thought, but finally raised his eyes and asked.

"Princess, do you know what love is?"

Shangguan Sui was startled when he heard this.

[This question is really difficult for a mother. 】

Shangguan Sui shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

She tried to answer, "To love someone, maybe you just want to be nice to her all the time."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ziyuan immediately raised his eyes and looked at her steadily with his narrow and beautiful red phoenix eyes.

"Don't worry, Princess. I will always protect you."

These words rang in Shangguan Sui's ears, making her stunned.

She couldn't tell how she felt after hearing this.

It was as if my heart was stabbed by something.

My heart feels a little itchy and numb.

Two small figures stood under the tree, looking at each other.

Their faces and voices were so childish, but their promises were so serious.

A breeze blew, the branches swayed, and the petals fell down.

Falling on the top of the head, falling on the shoulders...

Suddenly, “Ahhhhh——”

"What are you doing?!"

A terrified scream suddenly rang out.

Shangguan Sui and Xiao Ziyuan were startled at once.

Turning around, I saw that it was Shangguan Hong who jumped out from somewhere.

He was looking at Xiao Ziyuan with anger on his face.
