Chapter 659: Absurd
When Helian Yue came back after the morning court session, he saw Si Linglong sitting in front of the window with a solemn face, stroking Xiaoxiao in her arms from time to time, but in her heart she was muttering about Prince Li and her nominal brother.
Helplessly stepping forward, Helian Yue patted her head with his big hand, successfully bringing someone back to their senses, and then said,
"I sent people to investigate the matter of Prince Li following Si Jinyu last night. Si Jinyu also sent people to secretly protect his safety. You don't need to worry too much."
If he had known that she would not just leave it alone, Helian Yue would have made arrangements in advance last night.
When Si Linglong heard him say this, her almond-shaped eyes lit up, as if she was touched by her boyfriend's reliability, but then she couldn't help showing worry.
"Ah Yue, aren't you worried?"
Helian Yue glanced at her and said in a calm tone, "Although Si Jinyu is from a merchant family, his talent and intelligence are unmatched by ordinary people. I have never worried about him."
The reason I intervened was just to reassure her.
Si Linglong shook her head when she heard this, "I'm not worried about that."
Si Linglong was still very relieved about her nominal brother, especially according to Xue Sha, her brother knew that someone was following him.
Furthermore, the guards following him are said to be from legitimate gangs and have good kung fu skills.
She was not too worried about Si Jinyu's safety.
What she was worried about was that the Si family might have some connection with Prince Li.
Thinking of this, Si Linglong simply waved her hands to the left and right to signal them to leave, then let go of Xiaoxiao and pulled A Yue, as if she was ready to have a secret talk with him.
Although she can communicate secretly with A Yue through Xin Yin, she still prefers face-to-face communication.
Seeing her serious face, Helian Yue also waved his hand to signal Futai to take the people away. After the palace people left, he heard Si Linglong speak in a serious tone,
"I have a bold guess."
Helian Yue raised his eyebrows.
That look clearly asked how brave you are.
Si Linglong didn't care and started to analyze the situation for him while sitting cross-legged.
"You know I'm not the original Si Linglong. When I first met Si Jinyu in Yutai Mountain, he said something strange to me."
Si Linglong was still a little nervous when she talked about this. "From what he said at the time, I, the original Si Linglong, should have a mission when I entered the palace, and this mission might be related to your royal family."
The reason why she didn't say it was related to King Li was because Si Linglong really couldn't think of any connection between the two.
After all, if it weren't for the winter hunting, Si Linglong wouldn't even have the chance to touch the King Li all year round.
Even during the winter hunt, she and the King barely exchanged more than five sentences.
Since it's not just targeting King Li, it can only be the royal family.
When it comes to the royal family, there are more speculations.
Because Si Linglong had forgotten about this matter before, Helian Yue naturally knew about this situation for the first time. He looked at Si Linglong with a little more seriousness, and in his heart he also somewhat recognized this possibility.
I don't understand. Is there any reason behind this?
The more Helian thought about it, the more he saw Si Linglong's delicate face showing a trace of solemnity. Then she moved closer to him and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear,
"Ayue, do you think there is a possibility that I might be a princess of the previous dynasty?"
Helian Yue:? ?
Si Linglong's eyes were bright, with an eager and mysterious light, and she guessed seriously,
"Our Si family may have been the royal family of the previous dynasty, but because of the overthrow of the dynasty, we could only live in anonymity and do business. Then in my generation, the family had accumulated wealth, so naturally we had to start planning to restore the country. So, as a beauty, I was sent to your side, waiting for an opportunity to lurk. But somehow, King Li noticed our family's identity, so he secretly sent people to follow and investigate my brother, wanting to see how many remnants of the previous dynasty were hiding behind us..."
Si Linglong spoke more and more fluently, and when she reached the end, her almond-shaped eyes stared straight at A Yue in front of her, her expression almost full of firm confidence and solemnity, as if in the next second, this abyss would belong to their Si family.
Helian Yue: ...
It's outrageous.
