Xiao Cunyu's words made all the gentlemen present dare not say a word.
"Xiao Cunyu! Are you deliberately trying to upset my Third Brother? How dare you mention the Wu family's affairs in front of him? I think you are tired of living!" Princess Baoyi was already angry at him for not knowing what was good for her, and when she heard him mention someone who shouldn't be mentioned, she became even more furious.
Xiao Cunyu looked innocent: "Why can't I talk about the Wu family's affairs? A corrupt official is punishable by everyone. I don't understand, so why can't I say anything..."
Prince Rui glanced at him coldly, "I thought you were someone who would listen to what I said, but I didn't expect that despite my courtesy, you still wouldn't know what's good for you! Someone, help Xiao Qilang go outside to rest, let the lake breeze clear his head, or he won't become even more willful and talk nonsense!"
fed up.
"Is the prince angry? I'm not good at speaking, please don't bother with me, I'll leave now." Xiao Cunyu walked quickly, neither sad nor happy, with a thick skin as thick as a city wall.
Prince Rui couldn't do anything to him.
King Qin said nothing, but there was a smile in his eyes.
Xiao Cunyu arrived on the deck. The guards were all gathered around the cabin, and no one paid any attention to him. He stood there for a while, then rubbed his head, looking a little tired and dazed. Soon a maid came to his side and said, "Sir Xiao Qi, are you feeling unwell? There's a room in the back, please go and rest..."
Xiao Cunyu also followed.
The cruise ship was very large, almost as big as a house, or even more luxurious. There were quite a few rooms inside, but each one looked not much different. Xiao Cunyu was led into one of the rooms. She glanced at it with slightly narrowed eyes and let the other party help her in.
After sending her in, the maid immediately left.
Xiao Cunyu stretched and looked around. There was a strong fragrance in the room, but it should have no other effect.
But I won’t be able to tell later.
"Mr. Xiao Qilang, we should not stay here for long." However, before the person Xiao Cunyu imagined arrived, a guard jumped out of the window and said to her nervously.
"..." Xiao Cunyu opened his mouth, "Who are you?"
"Protect the Seventh Master on the orders of the Crown Prince."
"What's the situation now?" Xiao Cunyu was actually quite looking forward to it. This kind of calculation was so interesting. She had never experienced it before!
"It must be that Princess Baoyi doesn't like you... The Third Princess's people are now carrying the Second Princess's personal maid over. You'd better leave early, otherwise it will be difficult to explain later." The man said again.
"A palace maid? That's right. She did want to plot against the second princess, but she didn't have the ability to do so." Xiao Cunyu nodded, not too surprised.
Even if she was just a palace maid, as long as she was the Second Princess's person, the matter would be reported to the Emperor and the Second Princess would be scolded.
Of course, as the future prince consort, if he does not take the princess seriously, then the marriage will most likely be ruined and he will be punished.
"This is good too. The emperor won't take my life." Xiao Cunyu could accept it.
With the Xiao family around, she felt at ease.
It's just that her reputation may not be very good, but it doesn't matter. She is a grown man, what does she need reputation for? It's useless and will only attract romantic interests!
"No, His Highness said that he would protect you. You don't have to worry about the two princesses. Just hide and the marriage will be cancelled." The guard said hurriedly, and without caring whether Xiao Cunyu was happy or not, he quickly dragged her away.
Xiao Cunyu couldn't help but appreciate the prince's kindness.
I followed him obediently.
The guard couldn't stay with her all the time. If he was discovered, his life would be in danger. So after taking her out of the house, he immediately hid.
There was no one around and the boat was in the middle of the lake. Xiao Cunyu didn't know where to go, so he just sat down by the railing, crossed his legs, and felt the scent of the surrounding lake water and the tranquil fragrance.
A "bang" sound brought her back to her senses.
