When their eyes met, Xia Tong retracted her head somewhat unnaturally and took a sip of tea. She didn't know why the villain could say such words. Doesn't his conscience hurt?
She is often not given food and is often thrown to feed snakes. How can this be called not letting her suffer?
"But that...that big square face..." She raised her eyes secretly with a hint of hope in her eyes.
Gu Qin gently stroked the white jade wine glass and glanced at her calmly, "What do you want?"
"Well...it's nothing, it's just that this guy is really annoying. How about transferring him to guard the city gate?" Xia Tong's eyes lit up, and then he coughed lightly to hide the expectation on his face.
Gu Qin didn't say anything, and at this moment the butler's voice suddenly rang out from outside the room, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang wants to see you for something important."
Unexpectedly, there are still people in the court who are openly associating with the villains. Xia Tong did not dare to disturb others, so she quickly stood up and said softly, "Then I will take my leave first."
In fact, she didn't expect the villain to stand up for her. She just wanted to put on some eye drops. When she left the house, Xifeng was still standing there tall and straight. Xia Tong looked at him for a few more seconds, then walked towards her own yard while hooking her hair.
On the way, they met a tall and strong bearded man who was following the butler. He must be the Lord Zhang that the butler mentioned. His physique showed that he was a military general. The two looked at each other, and Xia Tong quickened his pace and left quickly.
Looking at the pretty girl, Zhang Quan couldn't help but look at the housekeeper in front of him in confusion, "Why is there a woman in the prince's mansion?"
He remembered that the prince never had any interest in women.
Hearing this, the housekeeper just smiled faintly and turned back to explain: "Master Zhang just returned to the capital, so you don't know, this is the legitimate daughter of Xia Zhongshu of the Xiahou Mansion, and also the newly married princess of the prince."
At this point, the butler lowered his voice and added, "The princess is extremely favored by the prince, and you will know it in the future."
After saying this, Zhang Quan couldn't help but frowned, turned his head and looked at the woman who was leaving. Why did the prince marry someone from Xiahou Mansion...
——
Back in the room, luckily Fangyu had come back. Hongxue was still guarding outside with a fierce look in her eyes. Xia Tong had too many questions to ask, so she could only pretend to take a nap and ask someone to close the door.
After entering the bedroom, Fang Yu looked around and suddenly took out something wrapped in black cloth from under the bed with an extremely serious expression.
"Why did you take so long?" Xia Tong quickly took the things and asked curiously.
The latter glanced at the windowsills around him, and then whispered, "I met the Crown Princess on my way back to the city. She asked about the master's recent situation, so I was delayed for some time."
The package was very large. Xia Tong sat on the couch and rummaged through the things inside. She felt a little sad when she heard what she said. This fake sister still remembered her. But with her IQ, how could she possibly beat the supporting actress?
There were several account books and a map in the package. Xia Tong couldn't understand where the map was from. But when she looked at the account books again, she found that they all recorded key evidence of the villains' abuse of power for personal gain over the years, including enclosing land for profit and excluding dissidents. Everyone knew these and they were no secret.
The most important thing is that there is a letter inside. No one knows who wrote it. The handwriting is extremely sloppy. Maybe the situation is urgent. The general meaning of the letter is that the villain is secretly raising troops and stationing troops with the intention of rebellion.
Xia Tong took a look at the map and roughly understood where this place was. However, the heroine is the heroine. Now she has obtained the key evidence. No wonder the villain wants to kill her.
"Master, what are you going to do?" Fang Yu asked in a low voice.
Xia Tong is like holding a hot potato. It's not a good idea to throw it away, and it's not a good idea not to throw it away. The villain has no intention of killing her yet, so there is no need for her to take the risk with the heroine. Keeping these things is like keeping a time bomb, which will blow her to pieces sooner or later.
"We must save the person, but we must not hand over the thing. If something happens to the prince, I, the princess, will not be in any good situation. Unless the prince wants to take action against the Xiahou Mansion, we can only pretend that we have never seen this thing."
It must not be hidden in ordinary places in the house. Xia Tong searched for a long time and decided to put the thing in the secret compartment where she kept her bellyband. Normally, the maids would not touch her cabinet, especially this secret compartment, which only she would touch normally. No one should be perverted enough to look for her bellyband.
"Then how does the master plan to save Miss Shen?" Fang Yu looked outside the house vigilantly, her voice soft.
Xia Tong was also very troubled and could only tell her what Xiao Ming had conveyed.
The latter was thinking of something when he heard this, and suddenly leaned over and whispered, "Tomorrow is the annual Lantern Festival. Why don't you go out for a walk with the prince? This way you can avoid the noise in the mansion. Even if the prince rushes back, it will be too late."
After saying that, Xia Tong leaned on the couch and pondered for a moment. The problem was, how could a villain like this go shopping with her, unless it rained red rain from the sky.
But you have to try to know everything. In order to save the heroine, Xia Tong feels that he has tried his best. It seems that he can only try to use the beauty trap!
The next day, there was still a cold wind and a dark cloud in the sky. The study was still solemn and rigorous. Xifeng was talking to the people below, and everyone else nodded seriously. From a distance, the guards were so tight that not even a fly could fly in.
But it was not until a beautiful figure gradually approached that everyone's attention was gradually attracted.
The woman has curved eyebrows, slightly rounded red lips, and a clever bun that makes her look pretty and charming. The beads on her temples sway slightly, making her look even more graceful. She is wearing a cherry-red snow silk cloud-shaped dress that makes her look pretty and charming. When the breeze blows by, her light-colored brocade cape sways slightly in the wind, forming a scene that is hard to look away from in the autumn colors.
The princess was indeed beautiful, no wonder the prince doted on her so much. For a moment, everyone could not hide their sighs.
Xifeng glanced at the visitor with a strange expression. Could it be that the princess has finally learned how to please the prince?
Leaving Fangyu outside, Xia Tong reached out and quietly pushed the door open. She first stuck her head in to take a look, only to see a man in front of the desk writing something with a serious look. She took a deep breath and walked in bravely.
When the door closed, there was a creaking sound from inside the room, but the man at the desk remained unmoved.
Xia Tong swallowed, approached the man unnaturally, walked to the table and ground the ink skillfully, and whispered, "Are you tired, my lord?"
A gentle voice sounded beside his ear, accompanied by a faint fragrance approaching. Gu Qin, who was used to women's attentiveness for no reason, did not even raise his head. He was too busy to play with her today.
Seeing that the other party ignored her, Xia Tong felt a little frustrated for a moment. She could only come behind him, put her hands on his shoulders, and continued softly: "There is no end to this matter. After all, health is the most important thing. You don't have any leisure time every day. Sooner or later, you will be exhausted."
The little hand was so restless that it was impossible to read a single word. The man suddenly raised his head, but was suddenly met with a rosy little face. His eyes changed slightly immediately.
When their eyes met, Xia Tong was also startled. She suddenly forgot how to continue the honey trap she had planned.
"Are you trying to seduce me?" The man's eyes darkened and his gaze swept across the delicate little face.
Xia Tong was a little overwhelmed as she had never met such a straightforward person before. However, she quickly explained, "I just feel sorry for you, Your Highness. If you say that, how can I dare to talk to you in the future?"
Gu Qin's expression remained unchanged, and he opened his thin lips slightly, "Let's talk business."
After coughing lightly, Xia Tong could only get straight to the point and said, "I heard there's a lantern festival going on today, I want to go there with you."
As she spoke, she lowered her head a little embarrassedly, the pink beads on her temples swaying back and forth, dazzling the eyes. Gu Qin's eyebrows moved slightly, and suddenly he put his arms around her waist and pressed her into his arms. His big hands gently rubbed her soft waist, and said neither lightly nor heavily: "For those who don't tell the truth..."
"Actually..." Xia Tong's expression changed slightly. Even though she was not used to this position, she still blushed and stammered, "They... all... all said that I am not favored. In this way... no one will say that anymore."
A faint masculine scent surrounded her, and the hand on her waist was hard to ignore. Xia Tong's entire face was flushed, and she was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands.
She felt that she had made too great a sacrifice to save the heroine, and even her moral integrity had been trampled to pieces.
The quiet study was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. The man gently rubbed the woman's soft waist, his eyes deep. He lowered his head to meet the pair of dodging eyes, his gaze burning, "Why do you think I want to go with you?"
