Chapter 92 Quarrel
"Why is the prince here?"
Xiao Fuguang spoke first, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
Xuanyuan Jing looked at her and spoke slowly, his voice a little cold.
"After leaving the palace, I met Prince Rong. He said he saw you entering Donglaishun today, so I thought I'd take you back home on the way."
Prince Rong spoke sarcastically from the side.
"The Imperial Uncle truly loves the Imperial Aunt! But it's a pity that the flower's intentions are not as good as the flowing water. I'm afraid the Imperial Uncle's sincerity will be wasted. The Fifth Prince is young and handsome, and is very popular among the noble ladies in the imperial city. He even asked the Imperial Aunt to marry him. Now, I'm afraid the Imperial Aunt regrets marrying the Imperial Uncle..."
Xiao Fuguang's eyes were cold.
"Prince Rong, are you mocking your uncle's age?"
As he spoke, he walked over step by step, stood beside Xuanyuan Jing, and looked at Prince Rong with an unhappy expression.
"As a member of the royal family, don't you even know how to respect your elders?"
"Disrespecting elders in public, speaking frivolously, and slandering them at will, is this the upbringing of Prince Rong?"
Prince Rong's face turned pale after hearing what Xiao Fuguang said. He was born into a noble family and had always been flattered and coaxed by others. Even his mother had never said anything harsh to him. But today he was taught a lesson in public by Xiao Fuguang.
"Xiao Fuguang..."
The Fifth Prince, who had been watching Madam Xiao's quarrel with amusement, suddenly bowed to Xuanyuan Jing and interrupted Prince Rong.
"Meet the Emperor's uncle."
"Today I came to the restaurant for dinner and happened to meet the Queen's aunt. I wanted to come and pay my respects to the elders, but I didn't expect that Prince Rong would misunderstand me."
Xuanyuan Jing nodded slightly, his eyes swept across the fifth prince deeply, then turned to Xiao Fuguang, a barely perceptible complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Since it's just a chance encounter, that's all. It's getting late, let's go back home."
Prince Rong spoke hurriedly upon seeing this.
"Uncle, you really believe what they say!"
"It's only the second day of your wedding, and as your princess, I'm not waiting for you at home, but instead I'm having an affair with a man outside..."
Xuanyuan Jing glared at him.
"Prince Rong, be careful with your words."
Then he spoke with a hint of warning.
"Don't use your little tricks on me."
After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Xiao Fuguang's hand, pulling her away.
Jiang Yuan glanced at Prince Rong, who was too restless, and then followed Xuanyuan Jing.
The fifth prince looked at Prince Rong with a barely perceptible disdain in his eyes. As a prince, he slandered a woman's innocence. This behavior really brought shame to the royal family.
"Prince Rong, I have something else to do in my residence, so I'll take my leave now."
Prince Rong looked at the backs of Xuanyuan Jing pulling Xiao Fuguang away downstairs, and a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.
No man will accept that his woman has an affair with someone else. Uncle, I don’t believe that you can willingly accept being cuckolded.
Xiao Fuguang and Xuanyuan Jing got on the carriage, and both of them were silent for a while.
The atmosphere in the carriage was depressing.
Until the carriage arrived at the Regent's Palace.
Xuanyuan Jing got off the carriage first with a gloomy look on his face.
Upon seeing this, the servants in the mansion bowed their heads and saluted, each of them being very cautious.
Jiang Yuan followed him and didn't dare to say anything.
Xiao Fuguang got off the carriage with the help of Liu Yue, and Liu Yue spoke worriedly.
"princess."
Xiao Fuguang walked calmly into the mansion.
"It's okay, don't worry."
All the way back to the yard.
Xuanyuan Jing sat in the room as if someone owed him eight million.
Xiao Fuguang calmly picked up a book and started reading.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Jing stepped forward and took the book from her hand.
"Aren't you going to say anything?"
Xiao Fuguang looked up at him and spoke.
"The Fifth Prince has already explained that it was just a chance encounter. What else do you want to hear, Your Highness?"
Xuanyuan Jing looked at her deeply, and his eyes, which were usually calm and composed, seemed to be hiding endless waves at this moment.
"But I want to hear you, Xiao Fuguang, do you regret it?"
Xiao Fuguang frowned slightly and spoke in confusion.
"What do you mean by regret, my lord?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Jing looked into her eyes and spoke.
"I regret choosing this king."
"The Fifth Prince is young and handsome..."
The temperature in Xiao Fuguang's eyes turned cold.
"Your Majesty, please be more rational."
Xuanyuan Jing grabbed her wrist upon hearing this.
"How can you expect me to be rational?"
"Xiao Fuguang, I know you chose me to marry because you were under constant pressure from Concubine Yao and her son. I've felt the pain of losing your mother and have repeatedly tried to understand you. But what about you? You didn't smile at all throughout the wedding, and on the second day after your wedding, you met the man who had proposed to you..."
Seeing this, Liu Yue reached for the soft sword at his waist.
"My Lord, please let my lady go."
Xiao Fuguang suddenly broke free from his wrist.
"Your Majesty, some words, once spoken, are hard to take back."
Seeing her so calm, Xuanyuan Jing spoke angrily.
"Shouldn't this king ask you for an explanation? Tell me, why did you meet him?"
Xiao Fuguang raised his hand and rubbed his wrist.
"It was just a chance encounter."
Xuanyuan Jing looked at her with anger in his eyes when he heard that.
"Why did you go to Donglaishun?"
Xiao Fuguang frowned and spoke.
"To eat, of course."
"Your Highness, if I really had something going on with the Fifth Prince, we wouldn't have met in a restaurant, and you wouldn't have caught us there."
Liu Yue stood beside Xiao Fuguang vigilantly.
Xuanyuan Jing looked at Xiao Fuguang for a moment and calmed himself down.
"What did you talk to him about?"
"Fuguang, I believe you have no personal relationship with him, but you must tell me what you talked about with him."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang reached out and pressed his solar plexus helplessly.
"Liu Yue, please go down!"
"I have something to say to the prince alone."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yue looked at Xuanyuan Jing worriedly.
"Miss."
Xiao Fuguang spoke soothingly.
"Go down."
Liu Yue had better speak up.
"I will be standing guard outside. Miss, just call my name and I will come in."
Then he exited.
Xiao Fuguang spoke in a deep voice.
"Since the prince insists on knowing, then I will tell him."
"I made a deal with the Fifth Prince. I helped him seize the throne, and he helped me take the lives of Concubine Yao and her son."
The anger in Xuanyuan Jing's eyes intensified when he heard this.
"Xiao Fuguang, have you ever believed in me? I said I would help you."
Xiao Fuguang spoke upon hearing this.
"Since I, Xiao Fuguang, have taken over this position, I won't just place one bet."
She really had never believed in herself, and marrying herself was just a temporary measure. Xuan Xuanyuan Jing was emitting anger all over his body, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Fuguang's neck.
"Xiao Fuguang, you think too highly of yourself. The royal family is not something you can manipulate."
Xiao Fuguang laughed crazily and reached out to hold his wrist.
"So the Regent got angry and wanted to kill me."
Xuanyuan Jing didn't dare to tighten his grip upon hearing this, and could only look at her angrily.
Xiao Fuguang continued to speak.
"If I were a prince, I wouldn't waste such a good sword."
The Regent narrowed his eyes.
"What do you mean by that?"
Xiao Jiaguang looked at him and continued speaking.
"Xuanyuan Jing, Prince Regent Xuanyuan, was born to the late emperor's concubine, Liang Fei. However, Liang Fei fell ill and died after giving birth to the princess. Fu Guang cannot see the prince's future, but he has seen his past."
"Your Highness, you complained that I was perfunctory about the marriage, but how sincere are you, Your Highness?"
When Xuanyuan Jing heard this, a faint light flashed in his eyes.
"you…………"
Xiao Fuguang smiled bitterly.
"Your Highness married me because of our friendship on the battlefield, and also because I, Xiao Fuguang, am still somewhat useful. I should be able to cure your sister's illness. Or, with my abilities, I can take care of Princess Huan Ning when Your Highness is away."
Xuanyuan Jing let go of her upon hearing this and sat down on the chair.
"What do you know?"
