Chapter 425 Insult
Luo Qinghan: "But what if someone wants to harm you?"
Xiao Xixi: "It's not like I haven't been harmed before, but I'm still alive and well, right?"
Luo Qinghan: "There may be more and more people who want to harm you in the future."
Xiao Xixi: "So what? Do I have to put myself in a difficult position just because others have evil intentions? If that's the case, I'll be suffocated to death before others can harm me."
Luo Qinghan was left speechless by her logic.
In order to appease him, Xiao Xixi began to present facts and reason with him.
"First of all, I am immune to all poisons, so methods like drugging me will have no effect on me.
Secondly, I am good at martial arts, and ordinary people are no match for me. Unless they can mobilize the army to besiege me alone, they have no chance of killing me even a hair.
Finally, I am good at calculating, and if there is any danger coming, I will definitely be able to predict it in advance.
No matter what trap it is, as long as I am prepared, it will be difficult for them to succeed."
Xiao Xixi paused here and added.
"By the way, threatening me with my family won't work, since I'm an orphan."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
Xiao Xixi concluded: "In summary, no matter how they want to deal with me, it will be very difficult, so you don't have to worry about my safety at all, just do whatever you want!"
Luo Qinghan looked at her confident appearance and suddenly felt that his previous worries were unnecessary.
From going south to pray for rain to escaping to Chenliu County, she was able to live well even when facing life and death disasters. How could she be so tenacious and afraid of other people's calculations?
On the contrary, he was hesitant and hesitated to move forward because he cared too much.
In terms of character, he is really not as good as her.
Luo Qinghan said with relief: "I was just being too stubborn before."
He thought that alienation would make her safe, but in fact, as long as she lived in the palace, it would be impossible for her to stay out of it completely.
What's more, she is not a flower grown in a greenhouse. She can protect herself and is not afraid of wind and rain.
By the evening, Eunuch Chang discovered that the prince's mood had turned from gloomy to sunny, and the relationship between him and Concubine Xiao had returned to normal.
Eunuch Chang breathed a sigh of relief. The young couple finally stopped quarreling.
After dinner, Xiao Xixi suddenly remembered the "old account" from before.
She said, "Your Highness has not yet given me an explanation!"
Luo Qinghan: "What explanation?"
"You said before that you wouldn't let me touch you, but you secretly did that to me, and then you even turned the tables and said that I was sexually unsatisfied. Shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation for this matter?"
Perhaps because he had already talked things out, Luo Qinghan was quite calm at the moment.
"Haven't I already apologized to you?"
Xiao Xixi smiled like a little fox: "I will not accept verbal apologies. You must provide substantial compensation."
Luo Qinghan knew her nature very well, so he asked directly, "What do you want to eat?"
Xiao Xixi thought of the roast chicken she had dreamed of before and couldn't help swallowing her saliva: "I want to eat roast chicken."
"I will ask the chef to prepare a roast chicken for you later."
Xiao Xixi was not satisfied: "You are the prince, is your only apology a mere roast chicken? This is too insulting, I will not accept it!"
Luo Qinghan: "Then what else do you want?"
Xiao Xixi held up two fingers: "At least two roast chickens!"
Luo Qinghan: "How dare I insult you twice?"
Xiao Xixi: “…”
Here he comes! The prince comes again with his vicious words!
Perhaps because her eyes were too sad, the prince picked up his remaining conscience and said, "Since this is your request, I can fulfill your wish."
The next day, Xiao Xixi ate the delicious roast chicken as she wished.
While eating the chicken with relish, she thought that if this was an insult to her, she would be willing to endure such an insult every day!
Due to the prince's warning, Xiao Lingfeng didn't dare to approach Xiao Xixi casually anymore.
The prince's motorcade travelled safely for another five days.
If nothing goes wrong, they will arrive in Shengjing in another day.
They rested at the post station in Tongtai County tonight.
The group had just settled down when they heard a commotion outside.
Luo Qinghan frowned slightly.
Eunuch Chang hurriedly said, "I will go out and let them be quiet."
He walked quickly out of the room.
After leaving the post station, Eunuch Chang saw more than a dozen carriages parked outside, with nearly a thousand people crowding in front and behind the carriages. It was obvious from their appearance that they were not ordinary people.
With the help of the lantern's light, Eunuch Chang could clearly see the emblem on the carriage.
That is the emblem of Xiling Palace!
Eunuch Chang's heart sank. The fief of King Xiling was in Xiling County. Why did their people suddenly come here?
And judging from the way they are traveling, King Xiling might be in the team.
The people from the Xiling Palace were negotiating with Zhao Xian and Xiao Lingfeng, and standing next to them were the postmaster and other minor officials.
Seeing Eunuch Chang coming, Zhao Xian and Xiao Lingfeng stopped talking at the same time.
Zhao Xian introduced: "This is Manager Fang from the Xiling Palace."
Eunuch Chang looked at Manager Fang and found him unexpectedly young, probably in his early twenties. He was tall and slender, wearing a dark black gown with a silver-grey cloak on the outside. He looked ordinary, but had a pair of deep black eyes.
Zhao Xian briefly introduced the identity of Eunuch Chang.
Manager Fang bowed respectfully and then explained the purpose of his visit.
It turned out that the reason why King Xiling appeared here was because he had received the emperor's order.
The empress dowager's birthday was coming soon. In order to please her, the emperor specially issued an order to summon Prince Xiling to the capital.
Xiling County is a long way from Shengjing. They received the imperial edict last fall. It took them nearly half a month just to prepare the things they needed for the journey. Adding on the fatigue of the journey, it took them almost three months to get here. It was really hard.
Manager Fang: "Originally our prince was planning to stay overnight at this post station, but he didn't expect to run into the prince's carriage here. Can you let our prince pay his respects to the prince?"
Eunuch Chang said politely, "Please wait a moment. I will go and report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
He hurried back to the post station and reported the matter to the prince.
Luo Qinghan was quite surprised.
He didn't expect to meet King Xiling here.
Prince Xiling is the emperor's cousin. According to seniority, he has to call Prince Xiling "imperial uncle".
But he met this imperial uncle only a few times, so naturally their relationship could not be considered very good.
But since we've met, there's no harm in meeting.
Luo Qinghan: "Please come in, King Xiling."
"Yes."
Xixi: Dad, take me to eat chicken!
Prince: ...
……
It should be updated next month, the specific time has not been determined yet. I will notify you in advance when there is a result.
