Chapter 110 The Prince is Not an Outsider
Jiang Xue jumped down from Lu Qiongshuang's arms neatly, looked up at the person standing not far away, and said with a smile:
"What a coincidence, the prince is also here to climb over the wall?"
Lu Qiongshuang was originally pulling Jiang Xue to leave, but when she heard this, she suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction she was speaking.
"Jing——" Lu Qiongshuang almost cried out, then stopped and whispered: "Senior Brother..."
Jing Ye glanced at her indifferently, then shifted his gaze to look at Jiang Xue.
"Get in the car."
Jiang Xue and Lu Qiongshuang then noticed that there was a black carriage behind him.
Lu Qiongshuang didn't understand why Jing Ye appeared here, nor did he understand whether he was calling Jiang Xue or himself.
He could only stand there hesitantly, scratching his head and looking at Jiang Xue with a puzzled expression.
Jiang Xue lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Okay."
Then he took Lu Qiongshuang's hand and walked towards the carriage together.
Jiang Xue walked up to Jing Ye, looked up and smiled, "My cousin and I are about to go out. Since the prince has a carriage, it would be disrespectful to refuse it."
Jing Ye didn't say anything, he just moved aside slightly and motioned for them to get in the car.
Jiang Xue didn't stay any longer and pulled Lu Qiongshuang straight into the carriage.
There were two guards in purple and black armor in front of the carriage. They respectfully placed a horse stool for Jiang Xue, and stood quietly with their heads bowed, waiting for the two to get on the carriage.
Lu Qiongshuang was completely confused. He looked at Jiang Xue in bewilderment and said, "Cousin, when did you become so familiar with him? Judging from the situation, he came to pick you up in person?"
Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "No. I did have something to do with him today, but I don't know why he is here. Don't say too much for a while, just wait and see what happens. Just nod and agree with whatever I say."
Lu Qiongshuang hummed softly, then closed her mouth and sat upright obediently.
Not long after, Jing Ye opened the car door and came in. He looked at Lu Qiongshuang who was sitting on the right and said calmly, "Go out and drive the horse."
Lu Qiongshuang's eyebrows instantly stood up, and he said angrily: "Why do you order me around? Aren't there two drivers standing outside?"
Jing Ye just leaned against the car door, his eyes were as dark as water, and he said coldly: "Either you get out by yourself, or I will throw you out."
Seeing the two of them on the verge of a fight, Jiang Xue couldn't help but smile. She gently persuaded Lu Qiongshuang:
"Well, go outside and show them the way. Otherwise, how would they know where to go?"
Lu Qiongshuang was shocked and said, "How can this be possible? How can I put my cousin and him in a room alone?"
Jiang Xue took a deep look at Jing Ye, then turned to Lu Qiongshuang and said, "Don't worry, the prince is not an outsider."
Lu Qiongshuang widened her almond-shaped eyes in shock.
She hasn't been with her cousin for just a few days, so how come Jing Ye is no longer a stranger now?
If not an outsider, then who is it?
She stared at the two of them in amazement, speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Jiang Xue reached out and gently patted the back of her hand, saying, "Go quickly, I have something to say to the prince."
Lu Qiongshuang had no choice but to stand up and walk out of the car angrily, and before doing so, she did not forget to glare at Jing Ye fiercely.
Jing Ye turned a blind eye and waited for Lu Qiongshuang to step out. Then he reached out and slammed the car door shut.
Jing Ye's carriage was spacious. Jiang Xue sat in the middle. There were two rows of seats covered with dark purple velvet cushions on both sides, which was just enough for seven or eight people.
Jiang Xue thought Jing Ye would sit on one side, but she didn't expect him to cross his long legs and sit directly next to her.
Jiang Xue was speechless and asked, "My Lord, don't you find it too crowded?"
"It's crowded?" Jing Ye turned his head and looked over, with a smile in his voice, "You and I are not outsiders, why do you think it's crowded?"
Jiang Xue smiled, then moved to the seat on the right without making any noise.
"Why is the prince here?"
"where are you going?"
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Jiang Xue was embarrassed for a moment, then said, "Then - Your Majesty, please speak first."
Jing Ye glanced at her lightly, sneered, and said, "Didn't you ask Banban to pass the message to me?"
"Uh..." Jiang Xue said, "I thought the prince would come at night, but I didn't expect him to come so soon. But how did the prince know that I was here with Qiong Shuang?"
"I went to your house and saw that you were not there. I asked and found out."
"Ask?" Jiang Xue asked suspiciously.
Who was he asking? The people in her courtyard would definitely not tell him directly where she was going.
"Do you have spies in the Gu Mansion?" Jiang Xue asked with certainty.
"Is it difficult to put someone under the hands of a fool like Gu Lintan?" Jing Ye said nonchalantly, "It's not in your courtyard, what are you worried about."
"The servants only know that I came to the Prime Minister's residence. How did you know to wait for me here?"
Could he have foreseen that she would not go through the main gate but would jump over the wall?
"I know why you are here," Jing Ye said lazily, "It's about the marriage between Chonghuan's son and that stupid girl. There is a small building not far from here, and her yard can be seen from the pavilion."
"So you have been keeping an eye on us?" Jiang Xue was surprised. Why was Jing Ye, the Regent, so idle?
"I just arrived and you guys came out." Jing Ye said, "I'm not that bored."
Jiang Xue thought to herself, why am I so unconvinced?
She put on a fake smile and said, "It seems that we are really destined to be with the prince. We just ran into him when we left the courtyard wall. I am so ashamed to trouble him to send us off."
Jing Ye said calmly: "Since we are destined to meet, why do you have to sit so far away? Are you ashamed? Then tell me exactly what you are going to do, and don't hide anything."
Jiang Xue thought about it for a while, then pointed at the car door and said, "For Qiong Shuang, we have to go meet someone."
Jing Ye raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you meeting? Chonghuan or his son?"
"Neither," Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "Actually, I don't know either. Qiong Shuang only said that he was a friend of hers, a friend in the underworld."
She looked at Jing Ye and smiled, "I think Your Majesty knows that people in the martial arts world come and go without a trace, and they don't want others to know the reasons behind their actions."
Jing Ye said bluntly: "I don't understand. What are you doing seeing this person?"
Jiang Xue resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said, "Find someone to help Qiong Shuang escape the marriage."
Jing Ye sneered and said, "It's not certain whether this marriage can be negotiated or not, and now you are helping her come up with such a bad idea?"
Jiang Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Who said it was my idea? Why don't you go out and ask your junior sister if it was me who advocated this. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to find someone to beat up those young talents who were included in the marriage proposal."
Jing Ye looked at Jiang Xue meaningfully and said, "Whether it's a bad idea or not, I think—"
"Since she is my junior sister, I also have a responsibility."
"Then I will go with you for a walk to see if this man is trustworthy."
Lu Qiongshuang, who was sitting outside the car door bored, suddenly shuddered.
