Chapter 84 I Seem to See Them Again
"Your Highness, may your Majesty be well and well."
After a while, he looked at Xiao Mingxuan beside him. He hesitated for a moment, but his eyes suddenly caught sight of Xihe holding his hand. He quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Ninth Prince."
"Hello, Lord Jiang, Hello, Madam Jiang." Xihe asked politely, "Is there anything I can do for you two?"
If you have nothing to do, please leave quickly. She hurried back to bring food to Zhao Siyuan.
Jiang Zhongguo and his wife exchanged a glance, then raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, I'm here to apologize to you for that evil creature, Jiang Zi. I hope Your Highness will be magnanimous and forgive my daughter's offense."
Jiang Zi had not wanted to tell her parents about the incident, but the scene at Su Yinghua's courtyard when Zhao Siyuan and Xihe caused such a big commotion that she could no longer conceal it, so she told Jiang's parents. Jiang's parents were shocked when they heard about it and quickly packed up their gifts to apologize.
"You're talking about that matter. It's okay. It's all over." Xihe waved his hand, not caring much.
Anyway, Zhao Siyuan has already avenged her, so there is no need to be petty.
Besides, it was Jiang Zi who made the mistake. What does it have to do with Jiang’s parents? She is a good girl and would not implicate innocent people.
Jiang Zhongguo smiled, his expression becoming even more respectful. "It's a blessing for us that the princess doesn't take it to heart, but my daughter offended you first, and I feel guilty about it. I've arranged a banquet in three days. I wonder if the princess would be so kind as to come in person?"
"No, I have something else to do." Xihe subconsciously didn't want to go. "That matter is over. Sir Jiang, don't take it to heart."
"Princess, when you say that, I feel even more guilty." Jiang Zhongguo acted so pretentiously that Xihe seemed ungrateful.
Xiao Mingxuan frowned slightly and was about to ask the person to be taken away directly, but was suddenly grabbed by the hand by the little girl next to him.
"That... is fine too. See you in three days?" Xihe's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, causing Xiao Mingxuan to look sideways.
Seeing Xihe agreed, the Jiang couple looked at each other, and a trace of determination flashed in their eyes.
"Then I will wait for Your Highness's arrival in the palace."
"You're welcome."
Xihe laughed dryly twice and then pulled Xiao Mingxuan away. When he saw that the two of them were out of sight, he slowly stopped.
"If you don't want to go, don't force yourself. I'll arrange it."
The emperor is far away here, and Xiao Mingxuan can move around more without being restricted like in the imperial city.
"I didn't want to go originally, but... now it seems I have to go." Xihe didn't want to bother with Jiang Zi's affairs, but an accident happened.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Mingxuan led the person forward and slightly turned sideways to block the bustling crowd to prevent anyone from bumping into Xihe.
"It's just... a feeling." Xihe said it in a different way.
In fact, the mustard seed space that had been silent for a long time suddenly burst into a strange light, and the plaque of Jiang Mansion appeared in the illusion.
This is the guideline.
"I feel... there must be something in the Jiang Mansion that's worth a visit."
Xiao Mingxuan was silent for a while, thinking of the medicine that suddenly appeared in the cliff cave and the inexplicable force in the secret room.
And...some unexplainable things in the past.
"Do we have to go?" Xiao Mingxuan suddenly stopped and looked towards the restaurant. He remembered the meaningful looks of the Jiang couple when they turned around, and his heart began to alarm.
Xihe hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and said, "I must go!"
Since arriving here, the Mustard Seed Space has never had any self-awareness other than providing items.
This is the first time I’ve seen it, and I guess there’s something big inside.
"Then I'll go with you." Xiao Mingxuan was still worried about the couple. "Who knows what's waiting for you in the Jiang Mansion?"
It’s probably a Hongmen Banquet.
"Little brother must be with me." Xihe did not forget the conditions she had promised. "What if I meet another good-looking brother?"
"What? Want to see?" Xiao Mingxuan's sinister voice sounded in your ears, like a poisonous snake, winding around your neck, spitting out its tongue, and whispering in your ear.
"No!" Although Xihe didn't understand why Xiao Mingxuan was wary of men but not women, as if he was guarding against wolves, she resolutely became a lackey to save her life. "They are not as good-looking as my little brother~"
Xiao Mingxuan glanced at Xihe and cursed him with a smile: "Little dog."
*
Three days later, Xihe and Xiao Mingxuan arrived as promised.
Unexpectedly, the Jiang couple did not show up, but instead asked the servants to take them to the small garden in the backyard.
The attendants left, and there was no one else in the huge garden. Only Xihe and Xiao Mingxuan were left staring at each other.
"What's going on? We invited them to be our guests, but they won't come?"
The flowers in the back garden were in full bloom, so Xihe picked one and played with it in her hand.
Not only did Jiang Zi not come, but Jiang's parents were also nowhere to be found.
"Something's wrong." Xiao Mingxuan looked around the garden, concentrating for a moment, and said, "There's no one here... except us."
How could such a big Jiang Mansion be so empty?
"Little brother, I... feel a little sleepy." Xihe felt that his body was light, as if he was about to fly, but his consciousness was fading away bit by bit.
Xiao Mingxuan caught Xihe who was sliding down. "Xiao Xier, don't sleep. There's something wrong here. We need to get out of here quickly."
"No, I'm really... so sleepy." Xihe's eyes gradually lost their anxiety and turned into a blank space. She murmured, "Little brother, I seem to... see them again."
Xihe suddenly stretched out her little hand, and the sunlight shone through her fingers onto her face, reflecting Xihe's somewhat pale complexion.
"Who did you see?" Xiao Mingxuan's body gradually fell limply. He quickly glanced around, and his eyes finally stopped on a lawn.
He laboriously picked up the bucket of water from the flowers and poured it over that area.
The thick smoke dissipated, and the feeling of weightlessness on my body slowly dissipated.
"See... so many have passed away..."
The moment the strong fragrance was extinguished, Xihe's consciousness suddenly returned. She stared blankly at her hands and fell into a brief trance.
Xiao Mingxuan picked up the person and walked to the corridor. The two small bodies leaned against each other and breathed slowly.
"The Jiang family is holding a Hongmen Feast. They want to kill you." Xiao Mingxuan's martial arts skills slowly recovered, and his strength also slowly recovered. "First, there was the poisonous fragrance, and later, are there assassins?"
He stood up with the help of the wall, took a few steps, and surveyed the terrain. After a long moment, he sighed, "The inner courtyard is completely empty, and the outer courtyard has been surrounded. We can't get out."
Xiao Mingxuan suddenly stopped and realized that he had said a lot of things, but Xihe had remained silent.
As soon as he turned around, he met Xihe's terrified face, like a frightened bird, ready to break at the slightest touch.
"Little brother..."
An unexpected character is about to appear, so stay tuned~
