【Not necessarily, host.】
The system suddenly spoke, "What if it's the grandfather who lied?"
The system's words reminded Ying Xixi.
Her previous guess was related to this possibility.
"Indeed, if we assume that there is no treasure in this cave, we have to consider my grandfather's intention in having me come here."
Ying Xixi frowned, lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside vigilantly.
The carriage drove towards Chengzhou City and soon entered the city.
It was morning now and the city was not very busy.
Ying Xixi carefully observed the people's mental state and found that they were not very high.
If the people in a fiefdom do not live well, the most direct reason is that the king of the fiefdom is not doing his job well.
So what did Prince Lin, Ying Linxian, do in his fiefdom without the knowledge of Emperor Yin Huaixu?
The carriage soon stopped at the gate of Ying Mansion.
As soon as Ying Xixi got off the carriage, she saw Ying Linxian's female relatives standing at the door.
It was obvious that Ying Linxian had sent someone to inform the people in the mansion in advance and asked them to come out and wait.
Yin Huaixu's identity has been known to everyone in Ying Mansion.
Ying Linxian was about to start his introduction when Yin Huaixu interrupted him.
"Your Highness is too polite. I am just a merchant. You actually asked your family to come out to greet me. I am really overwhelmed."
Ying Linxian's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled again.
"Don't be afraid, my lord. You and your wife are guests, so I must be polite.
Madam, this is my wife, and this is my daughter. My son is away and cannot come back to see you. Please forgive me."
Ying Linxian introduced.
A woman dressed in an old-fashioned manner lowered her eyes and bowed without saying a word.
Another woman wearing a goose yellow dress, with bright features, big eyes and a small face, spoke crisply.
"Xixi has met the Master and Madam."
Ying Xixi: “….”
Yes, the girl in front of him is Ying Linxian’s legitimate daughter, and the one she will be reborn into after her death this time.
It was a strange feeling, looking at the body that would soon become his own.
"The girl's name is Xixi? Which Xi character is it?"
Ying Xixi asked.
The other party smiled and said, "It's the Xi of the past."
"I see. What a coincidence! My name is also Xixi, but it's the same as in cherish."
Hearing this, Ying Xixi smiled even more happily, "Then we really are destined to be together!"
As the two were talking, Yin Huaixu, who was standing next to Ying Xixi, looked between them, as if thinking about something.
After entering the mansion, Ying Linxian personally took Yin Huaixu and Ying Xixi to the courtyard where they lived.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you like this courtyard?"
Yin Huaixu did not answer, but lowered his eyes to look at Ying Xixi with gentle eyes.
Ying Xixi nodded and said, "This courtyard is very nice. Your Majesty, you don't have to work so hard. Your Majesty and I can live here."
Ying Linxian nodded and said, "Then I will take my leave first. If Your Majesty or Your Majesty needs anything, please let me know directly."
After saying that, he left.
Ying Xixi immediately asked the system to follow and keep an eye on Ying Linxian.
Yin Huaixu and Ying Xixi returned to the house and first looked at the layout and decoration of the house.
“The decoration and furniture in this room are quite standard.
Ah Xu, have you noticed anything wrong?"
Knowing that there were secret guards outside and the conversation in the room would not be overheard, Ying Xixi asked directly about Yin Huaixu.
Yin Huaixu sat down at the table, poured a glass of water, sniffed it, took a sip, and poured another glass of water for Ying Xixi.
"Xixi, come and rest for a while. I did find something amiss, but I'd like to hear what you've discovered."
Yin Huaixu smiled, and when Ying Xixi came over, he pulled her to sit on his lap and hugged her.
Ying Xixi had become accustomed to his habit of getting close to her whenever they had a disagreement, so she found a comfortable position and leaned in his arms.
“I’m not sure now whether it’s my grandfather or the King Lin who’s lying.
And I'm not sure if there is any treasure in the cave.
If the person who lied was my grandfather, then is his intention of bringing us here related to King Lin?
If the liar was King Lin, then didn't he know that my grandfather had given me the treasure map? And what did he want to do by coveting the treasure?
Ah Xu, I'm confused thinking about all this, do you have any ideas?"
Yin Huaixu rubbed Ying Xixi's temple with his big, bony hands, his voice filled with doting.
"Has your little head been busy thinking about these things all along the way?
No wonder my mind is confused."
Ying Xixi curled her lips and said, "It's impossible not to think about these things. I hope we can go back smoothly this time.
If there are any unexpected factors in these matters, they must be resolved.
I'm done, what did you find?"
Yin Huaixu pinched Ying Xixi's cheek with his fingertips and said, "No hurry, let's wash up, eat something and get some sleep first."
Ying Xixi doesn't have the patience to wait that long.
She hugged Yin Huaixu's slender waist and acted coquettishly, "Ah Xu, tell me now, otherwise I will be so curious that I won't be able to eat or sleep well."
What Yin Huaixu couldn't stand the most was Ying Xixi's coquettish behavior. His dark eyes were gloomy and his voice became hoarse.
"Is that what you want to hear?"
Ying Xixi opened her eyes wide and nodded, "Yeah!"
"Then kiss me and I'll tell you."
Yin Huaixu raised his eyebrows and did not miss any opportunity to let his queen kiss him.
Ying Xixi quickly held Yin Huaixu's face and kissed him fiercely.
If she had put on lipstick, she would have left a lot of marks on Yin Huaixu's face.
Yin Huaixu was satisfied, and then he spoke slowly.
“King Lin lied when he said the cave was empty. There was treasure inside, and he took it for himself.
Grandfather did not lie about the treasure in the cave, but we cannot be sure whether his giving you the treasure map at this time and leading us here has anything to do with King Lin.
This needs further investigation.
Let's stay here for a while and see what King Lin does.
If he has other plans, he will definitely be exposed."
Ying Xixi nodded and expressed her thoughts.
"Ah Xu, do you think a prince who suddenly possesses so many treasures will become disloyal?"
"It's very likely, especially for Prince Lin. His ancestors followed our ancestors to build the country.
As a result, the ancestor of the Yin family became the emperor, and the Ying family became a king of a different surname.
It is impossible to say that they have no dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Now Prince Lin suddenly possesses a treasure that even I, the emperor, don’t know about. He can naturally use the treasure to do something else.
Don't worry, Xixi. I haven't been the emperor for so many years in vain. If Prince Lin really has any ulterior motives, I won't let him succeed."
Yin Huaixu rubbed Ying Xixi's head soothingly and held her tightly in his arms.
"Well, as long as it doesn't work."
This way she won't die, right?
