Chapter 190 This Burning Sea
Xie Chen's eyes were stern: "What do you mean?"
Yan Jing paced around the room with his hands behind his back, talking about his plan.
He first deliberately gave advice to the Sixth Prince, knowing that he wanted Xiangying, so he suggested that he drug Xiangying.
The Sixth Prince agreed.
However, the Sixth Prince did not expect that Yan Jing would lead Lu Panchu over.
The two of them were in the same room, and if Lu Panchu accidentally drank the bowl of drugged soup, something bad would definitely happen.
Yan Jing stroked his beard and laughed: "I know that Your Highness likes Xiangying, so in order to remove her suspicion, I have just asked the servants of the prefectural government to send her to your room."
This means that if Xiangying does not have time to take action, he will not be implicated by the governor of Lu.
After all, Lu Panchu and the Sixth Prince would be found in her room.
Unexpectedly, after hearing all this, Jie Chen frowned even deeper.
"Why did you do that?"
"Your Highness, don't you understand? Of course I want to assist you! This is my sincerity to you. Just think about it, Lu Hong loves his daughter so much. If he finds out that the Sixth Prince has defiled his daughter, he will definitely not let it go."
Yan Jing said this with a sneer of contempt: "Sixth Prince should also reap the fruits of his own actions. He always has evil thoughts in his mind, and he should be bitten back by such evil thoughts."
After saying that, he saw out of the corner of his eye that Jie Chen had already tested Xiang Ying's breath.
"You didn't drug her, did you?" he asked coldly.
Yan Jing shook his head: "How dare I? I just heard that she is very skilled, so I used a little trick and gave her some drugs, which will not harm her body."
Xie Chen stared at him with his dark eyes, a cold look flashing in his eyes.
Yan Jing, what a mean idea he came up with.
"You shouldn't do this." Xie Chen's words stunned Yan Jing.
"Your Highness, what have I done wrong? I have slandered the Sixth Prince, but I have also protected your beloved."
Yan Jing was very puzzled.
He took every detail into account, so what could be wrong?
Xie Chen frowned and said, "Lu Hong and I have no grudges against each other, and his daughter is even more innocent. A woman's innocence is more important than anything else. If you do this, I'm afraid you'll force Lu Panchu to death."
Yan Jing said it was impossible.
"I sent people to investigate. Miss Lu is enjoying herself very much. It is the Sixth Prince who is afraid of being implicated and refuses to obey her. I believe that even if Miss Lu wakes up, she will not commit suicide for such a thing."
Xie Chen pursed his lips and said nothing.
Yan Jing knelt down and cupped his hands: "Your Highness, when dealing with your political enemies, sometimes you have to be ruthless, even at the expense of others."
"You know, right after you left, Cao Ming and the others proposed to reduce your food supplies, but that weak boy Lu Hong didn't even dare to resist!"
"I am doing this to force him to make a choice. Otherwise, he will always try to please both sides. There is no such a beautiful thing in the world!"
As he was speaking, Xiangying turned over on the bed.
The dress rose slightly, revealing her fair calves.
Before Yan Jing could even look, Jie Chen had already reached out quickly and pulled the quilt over her.
Next, when Xie Chen spoke again, he subconsciously lowered his voice.
"Why should I believe you?"
"Your Highness, before the old prince died, he told me to take good care of Concubine Zhuang's son. Over the years, I have been loyal to a fake, but I have not received a single moment of good fortune. Only after I met you did I realize who I should really be assisting."
Yan Jing finished speaking and kowtowed: "The matter against the Sixth Prince is a token of my loyalty. In the future, I will continue to serve Your Highness with all my heart and soul!"
However, Xie Chen remained coldly silent for a while.
After a moment, he threw a fire starter into Yan Jing's arms.
"You said you wanted to pledge your loyalty. I'll give you a chance to show it. Go and set the governor's mansion on fire."
"What?" Yan Jing raised his head suddenly, "This... is too dangerous."
"Do as I say. Otherwise, stop talking about loyalty and return to the Sixth Prince as soon as possible."
Yan Jing quickly grasped the fire stick and said, "I will definitely get it done."
Xie Chen warned: "Burn the front and back yards, let them make a mess."
Yan Jing immediately understood what Chen meant.
If they don’t want to be traced back to them for today’s incident, of course everyone will be suspected.
Yan Jing left quickly.
Xie Chen turned around and looked at Xiangying lying on the bed.
"Stop pretending and get up."
The beauty on the bed didn't move.
Xie Chen raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to know what happened to Lu Panchu and the Sixth Prince?"
Xiangying finally opened her beautiful eyes.
There was not the slightest bit of haziness in her eyes, but rather a cunning brightness hidden within.
"How do you know I was pretending to sleep?"
Xie Chen sneered: "I know your breathing habits when you fall asleep."
When these words came out, they were both stunned.
Xie Chen's ears actually turned red from what he said.
He looked away unnaturally: "Yan Jing didn't hurt you, did he?"
Xiangying shook his head.
"Of course not. I fainted for a moment at first, but woke up quickly."
She pressed some acupuncture points on herself, originally wanting to see who would be so bold as to plot against her.
However, she squinted her eyes and found that it was Lao Deng.
Yan Jing was not very old, but when he carried Xiangying and put her on Jie Chen's bed, he was actually grunting with exhaustion.
With such poor physical fitness, he still imitates others and uses drugs.
Xiangying wanted to take action, but when he saw him, he carefully closed the door and left.
Only then did she realize that Yan Jing must have deliberately sent her to Li Jiechen's bed.
In this case, Xiangying didn't want to struggle anymore. She lay there for a while, waiting to see if Jie Chen asked him to come.
I didn't expect to hear their conversation just now.
Xie Chen pulled Xiangying up: "I'm glad you're awake. Now I'll take you back to the barracks."
Xiangying blinked and said, "If I leave, how will you explain it to Governor Lu and the others?"
"I don't need to explain. You are the prisoner under my charge."
After Jie Chen said this, he actually held her arm and walked her to the door.
At this time, flames were already appearing everywhere in the mansion.
Xiangying broke free from Jie Chen's grasp.
"I can't leave yet. I promised Fengyi that I would get her father's sword back for her."
Xie Chen frowned: "From whom?"
Xiang Ying's eyes were dark: "Cao Ming."
Xie Chen pursed his lips and said, "Do you know that this is very dangerous? There are plenty of opportunities to get a saber, but not now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiangying stood on tiptoe, hooked her arm around his neck, and kissed him on his lower lip.
Jie Chen was startled, his deep eyes were filled with ripples. He slowly looked down and saw Xiang Ying's trembling eyelashes.
He couldn't help but reach out, put his arms around her waist, and deepened the kiss.
Xiangying felt like he was kissing a piece of sweet snow, which was light, cold and warm, without any smell of alcohol.
When it comes to things like this, the two of them are always like dry wood meeting a raging fire.
But this time Xiangying quickly pushed him away.
Her hands were on his silver armor.
"Can we go now?"
The emotions deep in Jie Chen's eyes were like dispersing smoke, forcing himself to wake up.
"Just for this?" He said in a hoarse voice, "Go if you want to. Can I control you?"
A faint smile appeared on Xiangying's porcelain-white face, and sparks were flickering in his eyes.
She gently rubbed Jie Chen's cheek and said, "Go find the children and bring them to the door to wait for me."
After saying that, Xiangying turned around and ran away quickly.
Jie Chen wiped the edge of his lips with his thumb and forcibly pulled himself out of the sea of desire.
He cursed in his heart: Damn it.
Let Xiangying know the easiest way to control him.
