Chapter 546: Silencing
The prince's birth and upbringing destined him to be a very rational person.
To him, Xiao Xixi is indeed very important.
Because whether from the perspective of long-term companionship or her exploitable value, she is irreplaceable.
But no matter how important she is, she can never compare to the whole world.
Xiao Xixi didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
She even felt that this kind of thinking was natural.
As the crown prince, of course, you have to put the country first.
If he dared to give up his country and kingdom for a woman, she should be disappointed and feel that she had chosen the wrong person.
Xiao Xixi closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
Only after she fell asleep did Luo Qinghan get up and leave.
He left the palace and went to the British palace.
Luo Yechen was just about to have dinner when he was surprised to see the prince suddenly visit.
He went out to greet him.
"Why is the prince here at this time?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "I came to have a drink with you."
Luo Yechen curled his lips. He didn't think that his relationship with the prince was good enough to drink together.
But then he remembered that yesterday the prince had taken the initiative to give him the opportunity to gain favor with the Queen Mother. He owed the prince a favor and was too embarrassed to refuse, so he had to resign himself to leading the prince into the King of England's palace.
They sat in the pavilion.
There was food and wine on the table.
The night breeze is very cool.
Luo Yechen was a stubborn person who couldn't keep things to himself. After drinking just two glasses of wine, he couldn't help but ask.
"Why did you come to see me?"
No matter how naive he was, he would not think that the prince came to visit him at night just to drink with him. The prince must have other intentions.
Luo Qinghan ate some food first, then drank a sip of wine, and then spoke slowly.
"I have something I want to ask you."
Luo Yechen: "What's the matter?"
Luo Qinghan: "When you went to meet the Queen Mother yesterday, did you see anyone else there?"
Luo Yechen thought his question was inexplicable, but he still answered truthfully: "I met my father and King Xiling at the Queen Mother's place."
Luo Qinghan: "Has the King of Xiling ever asked you about me?"
Luo Yechen thought about it carefully and said, "No, he didn't talk to me at all yesterday."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I can be sure about what happened yesterday." Luo Yechen answered with certainty.
Luo Qinghan stopped talking.
Luo Yechen took a sip of wine and said, "But when I met King Xiling outside the palace this morning, he did talk to me for a while. He also asked me about why you suddenly left Changting Pavilion yesterday."
Luo Qinghan's expression changed slightly: "How did you answer?"
Luo Yechen: "I just said you have something urgent to do. He asked me what it was. I said I didn't know, and then he didn't ask any more."
Luo Qinghan filled his bed personally: "Thank you very much, you helped me this time."
Luo Yechen was flattered.
This is the first time the prince has poured him wine!
Luo Qinghan picked up his glass and clinked it with his: "I won't owe you a favor. If you need any help in the future, you can tell me. As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best."
Luo Yechen was terrified by his behavior.
"Please explain clearly, how did I help you? How come I didn't even know I helped you?"
Luo Qinghan: "It doesn't matter whether you know or not, as long as I know it."
Luo Yechen was full of doubts and lowered his head to take a sip of wine.
He asked tentatively, "Are you really willing to help me with anything?"
Luo Qinghan took a bite of food and said, "Don't even think about becoming the crown prince."
Luo Yechen: “…”
He shouted angrily, "I want the position of Crown Prince, but I will fight for it myself. I don't need you to give it to me!"
Luo Qinghan: "That's good."
Luo Yechen glared at him angrily and it took a long while before he spoke again.
"I want to ask you to help me think of a way to cancel the engagement?"
Luo Qinghan glanced at him and asked, "Why do you want to cancel the engagement?"
Luo Yechen said angrily: "Do I even need to ask this? Of course it's because I don't like Bu Shengyan! That girl is very fierce, like a tigress. If I marry her, will I have a good life in the future?!"
Luo Qinghan said slowly: "I think you and Miss Bu are a good match."
Luo Yechen looked at him in disbelief.
"How can you be so blind at such a young age? How can you tell that I am a good match for that girl?!"
Luo Qinghan: "The Bu family is full of loyal and brave people. As the descendant of a loyal and brave family, Miss Bu has a strong personality, is straightforward and brave. How come she is not worthy of you?"
Speaking of the loyal and brave Qi family, Luo Yechen was suddenly speechless.
Even though he was a scoundrel, he couldn't say a bad word about those loyal and brave people of the Bu family.
It took him a long while to finally utter a word.
"I admire Marquis Dingbei very much, and I also respect the loyal martyrs of the Bu family who sacrificed their lives for the country, but this is different from my marrying Bu Shengyan, and they cannot be confused!"
Luo Qinghan: "If you really don't want to marry Miss Bu, I suggest you go and tell the Marquis Dingbei about this. The Marquis Dingbei is a man of integrity and Miss Bu is his only daughter. If he finds out that you have no interest in Miss Bu, he probably won't force you to do it."
Luo Yechen quickly asked: "And then?"
Luo Qinghan: "Give me a bowl of soup."
Under any other circumstances, Luo Yechen would definitely not do it, but now he needed help, so he could only humble himself and obediently serve a bowl of chicken soup and place it in front of the prince.
Luo Qinghan drank two sips of chicken soup before continuing his speech slowly.
"Marquis Dingbei's two brothers, a son, and a nephew all died on the battlefield.
Even Marquis Dingbei himself injured his leg in the war, leaving him disabled for life and becoming a cripple.
The imperial court must treat loyal and heroic families like the Bu family well.
The reason why your father asked you to marry Miss Bu was also to appease the loyal and brave.
If Marquis Dingbei is willing to risk his life and refuse to marry his daughter to you, even if it is just for the sake of face, father will definitely consider Marquis Dingbei's thoughts and reconsider this marriage."
Luo Yechen's eyes gradually lit up: "This is a good idea! I will go to Dingbei Hou to talk about this tomorrow!"
What Luo Qinghan didn't say was that given Marquis Dingbei's loyalty to the emperor and the court, he would not disobey the order and cancel the engagement even if he had other ideas in his mind.
He said so much just because he wanted Luo Yechen to go and talk to Marquis Dingbei in person.
Because he had hope in his heart, Luo Yechen felt much better, and he even liked the prince much better.
After the meal, Luo Yechen personally escorted the prince out the door.
After the prince's carriage drove away, Luo Yechen happily returned to the house.
Luo Qinghan sat in the carriage, closed his eyes, and quietly thought about the affairs of King Xiling and the Qin family.
He was now certain that it was King Xiling who had Xiao Xixi locked in an iron box and sunk to the bottom of the river.
The purpose is to silence the witness.
