Chapter 363 I Have a Solution
Gao Ming invited the Crown Prince to enjoy the snow that day, and he emphasized, "I heard that the Crown Prince brought an aide with him. I heard that he is very talented and highly regarded by the Crown Prince." He smiled shyly and said, "As your Highness knows, I am also an aide to Lord Lu. Could you please introduce me to him?"
The prince remained calm and said, "He has caught a cold and is not feeling well. He is not suitable to see guests. I am sorry for Governor Gao's kindness."
No matter how Gao Ming tried to probe, the prince refused to give in, and Gao Ming became even more suspicious.
The two of them had a pleasant conversation, but they both knew that they had been fighting each other to the death in private, and it felt like they were sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams.
After Gao Ming left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face immediately darkened, and then he called Yan Xing into the room.
The prince looked at Yan Xing with a gloomy look: "Cheng Xiao, if Lu Xueyin and I were to have a battle, who would you help?"
Yan Xing: “…”
What kind of deadly questions are these? Yan Xing didn't want to answer.
The prince looked at him stubbornly and insisted on giving an answer.
Yan Xing finally said helplessly, "Your Highness, the Yan family only guards Yanhui Pass and does not participate in power struggles." After thinking for a moment, he added, "She has never asked me this question, even though she knows that I have deep feelings for her. But she has never thought of using my feelings to gain bargaining chips for herself."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face darkened: "But you and I are blood brothers."
Yan Xing blurted out, "Lu Chenyang and Lu Xueyin are also blood siblings. Your Highness, will you let him go back to help his sister?"
The prince's face was gloomy, and Yan Xing's words hit the nail on the head.
Who made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always have such double standards? Lu Chenyang and Lu Xueyin are siblings, but he went to interrogate the other brother. Now that Yan Xing is not on his side, he comes to interrogate him again.
The prince was silent for a moment. "Because I know I can't beat her. Whether it's ability or means, I can't compare to her, so I need to increase my bargaining chips."
Yan Xing felt that the prince's self-awareness was still correct.
Yan Xing asked tentatively, "Your Highness, is Lu Chenyang your aide? Can I meet him?"
The prince saw through his plan at a glance: "Are you afraid that I will use Lu Chenyang to threaten her? That's why you want to rescue her." He was furious: "You said she didn't ask you to help her, but you are already helping her now!"
Yan Xing said seriously: "I didn't mean that. I just wanted to see him." If he really wanted to save people, could the prince stop him?
Who wouldn't be curious about the top scholar who ranked first in the imperial examination? He also wanted to know what the relationship between the prince and Lu Chenyang was.
The prince narrowed his eyes and said, "However, how do you know that Lu Chenyang is in my hands?"
Yan Xing's eyes flashed. Actually, he didn't know either, but Lu Xueyin believed it firmly.
The prince immediately recalled a time when Lu Chenyang had asked him to visit the Wang family's clinic. He had said he missed home and wanted to go back to see the things there. Lu Chenyang had been away for so long, and he softened his heart and agreed.
It seems that Lu Chenyang left some message for Lu Xueyin that time. After all, that is their home, and they are brother and sister, so there must be some secret codes that outsiders don’t know.
The prince felt very upset. Lu Chenyang had already passed the message to Lu Xueyin.
He saw this as a betrayal, but they were siblings and he was an outsider.
Thinking of this, the prince felt sad and bitter. After all, he was an outsider to him.
"It turns out... he never chose me, and he stayed with me out of helplessness." The prince murmured to himself, and the loss and sadness in his tone were so heartbreaking that anyone who heard it would cry.
When Yan Xing heard his words, he frowned in confusion, feeling that the prince's mood was not right at the moment.
The prince took a deep breath and looked at Yan Xing. "I have an idea. I want you to help persuade Lu Xueyin. I know I'm no match for her right now. I also know she doesn't want to start a civil war and waste the country's strength. The best way is for us to shake hands and make peace."
