Chapter 274 Allies
Qiao Chuxue asked cautiously, "Your Highness, are you going to take me back to the Qiao family? I would like to go directly to the government office with Your Highness."
He Zhiyu looked at him. Qiao Chuxue looked away after being stared at for a long time. She felt an invisible pressure spreading in the carriage, which made her feel a little breathless and her chest heavy.
"You just came out of the Qiao family. If you go back now, your family will surely make a big deal out of a small matter. If you go to the government office, your uncle will inevitably know about it. I naturally have to suppress this matter for his sake."
Qiao Chuxue was worried about such things, but how could she, all alone, ask Qiao Wanyan to apologize to Yu Lang?
He Zhiyu: "I will take you back to the East Palace. You will slowly tell me everything you know. I will give you an explanation and give you fairness."
He paused after he finished speaking, "We will not allow injustice to happen in the Imperial City."
Qiao Chuxue's heart was at ease, and she said with a smile, "Yes, thank you, Your Highness!"
When Lu Jinye returned, he brought Xiaoying with him. The maids in Yongning Pavilion were all shocked. They were all surprised that Xiaoying, who was supposed to be serving the eldest lady at the farm, was brought back so rudely by Lu Jinye.
Something must have happened, but seeing that the Second Miss was in a good mood when she came back, what could have happened?
Lu Jinye stood at the door with a smile on his face, but Lu Jinye looked like a gloomy boy, and that smile didn't show any warmth at all.
Instead, he looked a bit more evil, as if he had done something bad.
"Guess what good stuff I brought back for you?"
Qiao Wanyan was playing chess alone. When she heard this, she raised her eyelids and glanced at him, "Don't tell me you brought Xiaoying's body back."
Lu Jinye sighed softly, "Why would I bring her body back?"
He walked in and said lazily, "Alive."
Qiao Wanyan paused and threw the chess piece in her hand directly at him, "Why did you bring her back?"
Lu Jinye was able to dodge it easily, "You should have praised me instead of hitting me with the chess piece."
Praise him? Qiao Wanyan sneered in her heart. She was still waiting for the prince to kill Xiaoying and make Qiao Yihuan collapse.
This guy brought Xiaoying back and ruined all his good plans.
It's really a stupid dog. No matter how you raise it, it won't become smart.
A bad guy's hard work is not as good as a stupid dog's sudden inspiration.
"The prince wanted to kill Xiaoying but I stopped him. Xiaoying's death is certainly a good thing, but don't you want to know some of Qiao Yihuan's secrets from the abandoned Xiaoying?"
Qiao Wanyan frowned slightly. What secret could Qiao Yihuan be hiding?
Lu Jinye added: "Don't you want to see the former sisterly love between master and servant turn against each other one day?"
Qiao Wanyan blinked her radiant peach blossom eyes, hooked her finger to signal Lu Jinye to come over and touch the top of his head, "You did a good job."
Lu Jinye snorted lightly. He was by her side protecting her safety. Did he really think of himself as an ordinary brainless warrior?
Qiao Wanyan picked up a candied fruit and threw it at him, and Lu Jinye caught it steadily.
Tsk, that’s so sweet.
Now I am the one who does all the good things, and Qiao Wanyan praises me. What does it have to do with the prince?
"It's just a pity that I almost couldn't bring Xiaoying back today."
Qiao Wanyan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
Lu Jinye said, "It's all about the one from Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. I said I would bring Xiaoying back to you for your disposal. After all, Xiaoying is a maid from Shangshu Mansion. But Jiang Qiyun stopped me. I saw that no matter how tough he was, he still felt sorry for Qiao Yihuan in his heart."
Lu Jinye sighed and said, "Love Qiao Yihuan's maid, so he naturally wants to protect her life."
Qiao Wanyan was not surprised. In the story, Jiang Qiyun was very caring towards Qiao Yihuan.
Even for Qiao Yihuan's happiness, such an outgoing person was willing to not fight or compete.
Now, it is very possible to stop Lu Jinye.
Qiao Wanyan cursed slowly, "He is just a bitch, a bitch to the extreme."
Lu Jinye raised his lips and smiled, "Master is right, he is a bitch. In the future, Master should have less contact with such a bitch, so as not to disgust the Master."
A maid came in from outside the door. She was no longer surprised to see the second young lady throwing candied fruit at Lu Jinye and Lu Jinye catching it with his mouth.
He walked up calmly and said respectfully, "Second Miss, the Prince of Xiling sent a visiting card, saying that he wants to invite you to go outing the day after tomorrow."
The candied fruit on the plate was gone, and Qiao Wanyan finally stopped feeding the puppy.
"No."
Just two simple words, without even a hint of hesitation.
The maid nodded in agreement and turned to go to the door.
Su Fei paced back and forth at the door of the Shangshu Mansion, feeling a little anxious. Why hasn't he come out yet?
The Second Miss should agree, right?
Although...the Second Miss should at least give the Prince some face for Xiling's sake, right?
Yeah, right?
"My young lady has been busy these days and I'm afraid she doesn't have time to accept the invitation from the prince. Please convey it to him."
Su Fei listened to the maid's reply and he didn't feel disappointed at all, as if he had felt that things would turn out like this from the beginning.
But when these words reached Shen Che's ears, he found it hard to accept.
"Why did she reject me?"
Su Fei: “….”
"Master, the Second Miss must have something important to do. Why don't we try again later?"
Shen Che said calmly: “If Xu Shujian invites her, she will definitely agree.”
Su Fei smelled a sour and unwilling smell of vinegar.
The kind that he himself is not aware of.
The night was as dark as ink, the cold moonlight was spreading on the earth, and the bluestone-paved streets looked like they were covered with a layer of silver frost.
The mechanism of the Changde Hall in the Eastern Palace was twisted, and a secret passage appeared inside the hall.
This secret passage is the road from the East Palace to the West City.
Jing Yuan looked at the man in a black cloak who walked out of the secret passage. He didn't see the face covered by the hat, but he knew who the other person was.
"This way please, His Highness is waiting."
He Zhiyu placed the secret letter in his hand on the candle flame. There was only one candle in the entire Changde Hall. Under the dim light, the flame was reflected in his pupils, like a floating fire snake devouring its prey.
"He will be back in Beijing in five days."
The man in the black cloak took off his hat and sat on the armchair not far away. He looked at the secret letter in his hand falling into the brazier and spoke leisurely.
"I have already made arrangements before King Jing returns to the capital. After arriving in the capital, your Highness's staff will have to work hard. If successful, your Highness can deal a fatal blow to King Jing. Xiling can also breathe a sigh of relief."
He Zhiyu's eyes were dark, and his emotions could not be seen under the dim light.
"Are the remnants of the previous dynasty really dead?"
Chen Che met his gaze, his eyes cold and sharp.
"My bloodline was cut off long ago."
