Hu Xiao’s journey this time was not too bad. Even so, when she hurried back, the sky was already dark.
"He’s still not awake?"
The doctor had already seen the wound, there wasn’t much of a problem. Logically speaking, this person should have already woken up, but why was he still sleeping?
"Oh, you’re talking about that rich kid. He just woke up once and I knocked him out again."
Ling Hua said calmly. That relaxed manner of her made Hu Xiao wish she could slap her on the head.
That person’s body was already weak, and when he finally woke up, he was knocked unconscious again!
"We’ve only been gone for a day, why did you pick up another person?"
Suddenly, another voice came out from outside, it was Lu Yin who had just entered.
Hu Xiao was choked down by him, then looking at Ling Hua’s nonchalant look, she hated him so much that her teeth itched.
"Aren’t they all those perverts?"
Ling Hua:...
"How is it?"
Then, Hu Xiao looked at Xiao Yu and asked somewhat anxiously. Compared to the other things, Hu Xiao was more concerned about her own problems.
"Master, Young Master Lu has already brought me to investigate, those portraits are of the South Yue’s crown prince looking for master, it can’t be considered to be a wanted poster."
The crown prince of South Yue? What are you going to do with that picture? Is there something wrong with him?
"Why are you looking for me?"
Hu Xiao thought about it, and then she asked.
"He seems to have received orders from the palace to bring you back to the palace, but don’t you guys think that this person looks familiar?"
As Lu Yin replied, he stared at the person they picked up for a long time. Even though he told himself that this person looked extremely familiar, he still could not remember who he was!
Everyone looked at Lu Yin strangely, not knowing where this person was familiar from. Furthermore, this person must be a young master from a rich family, probably from some young master that had some background.
No one spoke for a long time, yet Xiao Yu, who was behind Lu Yin, carefully raised her head to look at the injured person, and was so shocked that he continuously retreated.
"What’s wrong with you?" How could there be such a big commotion? "
Seeing Xiao Yu looking as if she had seen a ghost, Hu Xiao could not help but feel strange.
"Master, this person seems to be from South Yue ... "Crown Prince."
Another round of silence.
"You, how did you know?"
No one could see the face of the South Yue Crown Prince, if it was anyone else, it would be alright, but why did Xiao Yu recognize him? According to Hu Xiao’s understanding of Xiao Yu, she should not have known this person.
"Crown Prince?"
Behind him, Lu Yin’s eyes widened a little after hearing what she said, but it passed in a flash. Fortunately, with everyone’s gaze fixed on Xiao Yu, no one could see the disrespectful attitude that Lu Yin had just showed.
"That’s right, that person is definitely the Crown Prince of South Yue!"
Xiao Yu continued to speak with determination, as if she had not heard Hu Xiao’s question.
"Master, I once saw a soldier calling this person ’crown prince’ at the market. Even the local Prefect were very respectful to this person. This person is definitely the crown prince!"
Xiao Yu continued, but her thoughts flew back to the day that she knew of the man.
Originally, because sshe was hiding from the soldiers along the way, every time Xiao Yu went out, he would be extremely concerned about the activities of the officials, so Xiao Yu saw the portrait of Hu Xiao that the officials pasted on the wall.
On that day, Xiao Yu also went out to buy some things as usual, but she felt that it was a bit different. Soon after, she saw many soldiers surrounding the entrance of the market, and the leader was the man in front of him. Xiao Yu memorized her face immediately, but when she heard the guards call him Crown Prince, Xiao Yu turned and ran.
In this chaotic place, there were too many people, even if Xiao Yu changed her appearance, she might be noticed by others, furthermore, seeing such a large scene, there were very few commoners who dared to stand around and watch.
From Lu Yin’s expression, she knew that Xiao Yu was speaking the truth. If it was only the crown prince, then it was fine, but Hu Xiao felt that it was not a big deal for him to avoid Xiao Yu, but now, she had been retrieved by Ling Hua! Furthermore, because of the severe injuries, even Hu Xiao could not bear to be thrown outside.
Wait a minute, the Crown Prince of South Yue, she could not help but raise her head and look into Ling Hua’s and Lu Yin’s eyes.
All of a sudden, Hu Xiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. No matter what, she was still a princess of South Yue, but the current crown prince who had saved South Yue, why didn’t she know about it herself? Hu Xiao hadn’t married into the East Court for too long, so why didn’t she recognize this person?!
For a moment, everyone’s gazes all fell on her.
"Alright, don’t look at me. This person was covered in blood when he came, and not to mention how noble my South Yue’s crown prince is, how could he be ambushed until now. It’s reasonable that I don’t recognize him."
Although there were still some doubts, no one asked. After all, wasn’t Hu Xiao the noble one also escaping for her life now? As the saying goes, the way of the world is unpredictable. They had long since gotten used to it.
The few of them were discussing about what to do next, but no one noticed that the face of Hu Qi, who was sleeping on the bed, was growing increasingly abnormal, as if he was holding back something.
Within the South Yue Imperial Palace.
After hearing the words of the person standing in front of His Highness, King of the South Yue swept all the items on the table in front of him with a single breath.
"The crown prince has been assassinated, and his whereabouts are unknown?"
He had only gone out to meet Hu Xiao, why was he ambushed again?
Go out and find him!" "If you can’t find the crown prince, you can look for him.
Not wanting to see him again, Hu Qi’s whereabouts were unknown, and there was no news of him either. Not a single piece of information was worthy of him being happy.
The commotion from before had long spread throughout the imperial palace, and the palace maid eunuchs were all walking on thin ice. It was a rare sight, and the people who used to appear frequently in front of the King of the South Yue were much smarter today, as they quietly stayed in their own places.
The news of the crown prince’s assassination had spread throughout the imperial government overnight. However, in just one night, he should not have known about it all. There were even those who were not afraid of death and wanted the King of the South Yue to establish a new ruler.
Hu Xiao and the others did not know what was going on, but they were at odds over where Hu Qi was going and what was going to happen next.
"Hu Xiao, you should know this person, right? Is that the person Xiao Yu was talking about? "
It had already been a long period of silence, long enough for Hu Qi to faint again.
Hu Xiao had already borrowed the memories left behind by the main character to piece together what was left of him a long time ago. In the end, she sadly realized that she did recognize this person.
"This man is called Hu Qi."
This one sentence was enough to prove Hu Qi’s identity. If the Hu Qi at this time was still awake, she would definitely get up and ask Hu Xiao.
He probably never would have thought that the person he had been looking for would be right in front of him.
