Chapter 875: The more you try to hide, the more obvious it becomes
Two days later, Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan left the palace together.
They arrived at the British palace in a carriage.
Coincidentally, as soon as their carriage stopped at the gate of the British palace, they saw another carriage leaving from the gate of the British palace.
When Luo Qinghan got off the car, he deliberately glanced at the carriage that had gone away.
There was nothing on the carriage that could identify it; it looked like just an ordinary carriage.
But if he really was an ordinary person, how could he be qualified to leave through the main gate of the palace?
For a family as prestigious as the Royal Palace of England, any guest who could leave through the main gate must be of great importance.
Generally speaking, people of status would hang a badge or lantern on their carriage to distinguish themselves from ordinary people.
The carriage just now did not do this, but instead seemed to be trying to cover up something.
Luo Qinghan whispered to Zhao Xian.
"Go check that carriage."
"Yes."
Zhao Xian immediately called two alert guards and asked them to follow the carriage quietly.
Soon, the British king and queen came out.
They personally invited the emperor and the imperial concubine into the palace.
Xiao Xixi asked how the establishment of the newspaper was going.
Luo Yechen said: "I have already contacted someone. I just got the first sample issue. Would you like to take a look?"
Xiao Xixi became interested: "Okay."
Luo Yechen prepared to ask someone to go to the study to get the sample magazine.
Luo Qinghan said, "I just happen to have something to discuss with you. Let's go to your study and sit down together."
Luo Yechen immediately became alert: "What is there for us to talk about?"
Luo Qinghan looked at him expressionlessly: "Why don't we talk about how you were... "
Luo Yechen stood up quickly and interrupted him very loudly.
"Let's go! Let's go to the study now!"
He didn't dare to look at Bu Shengyan for even a second and ran out as if escaping.
Luo Qinghan followed him out slowly.
As soon as the two of them left, Bu Shengyan immediately asked.
"The King of England has been to a nunnery? How come I didn't know about this?"
Xiao Xixi smiled slyly: "Back then, the King of England and the Emperor returned to the capital from Chenliu County together. On the way, they happened to pass by a nunnery and stayed there for one night."
Bu Shengyan asked subconsciously.
"How do you know this?"
Xiao Xixi did not answer but asked: "Haven't you already guessed it?"
Bu Shengyan was stunned.
She did guess the imperial concubine's true identity, but she thought the imperial concubine would try her best to keep it secret. She didn't expect that the imperial concubine would actually make it clear directly.
This happened so unexpectedly that she didn't know how to react.
After a long while, she spoke cautiously.
"You and the Emperor came here today just to tell me this?"
Xiao Xixi nodded: "Well, I hope you can keep it a secret and don't tell anyone about this. It's best not to tell even the King of England. He doesn't think before doing anything and it's easy for him to tell others about it."
Bu Shengyan responded seriously: "I understand. I will keep it a secret for you."
Xiao Xixi smiled sweetly: "Thank you."
She noticed that Bu Shengyan seemed to be hesitant to speak, so she took the initiative to say, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Bu Shengyan: "I don't understand, why do you want to change your identity?"
Xiao Xixi didn't want to lie to her, so she simply confessed, "This is a secret, I can't tell you."
Bu Shengyan immediately said, "Sorry, I was just asking out of curiosity. Just pretend I didn't ask."
In the study.
Luo Yechen waited for a long time, but Luo Qinghan didn't speak, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Don't you have something to tell me?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "I forgot what I was going to say."
Luo Yechen: “…”
Luo Qinghan: "Forget it, since I can forget it, it shouldn't be an important matter, let's go."
Luo Yechen: “…”
He really wanted to grab the other person's collar and roar angrily, "Are you kidding me?"
However, it's just thought.
The other party is the emperor, how dare he touch him?
In the end, Luo Yechen could only pick up the roll of paper on the desk angrily and walked out in a depressed mood.
When he was about to walk out of the study, he was suddenly stopped by Luo Qinghan.
"Wait a minute, I have something to ask you."
Luo Yechen stopped and looked at him: "What's the matter?"
Luo Qinghan: "Did you have any guests at the Prince of Ying's Mansion just now?"
Luo Yechen didn't know what he was thinking about, and his expression became a little unnatural.
He replied vaguely, "Yes, there are two guests."
Luo Qinghan stopped there and did not ask any further questions. He nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then walked out without looking back.
The two returned to the main hall.
Xiao Xixi asked, "Have you got the sample copy?"
"Here it is." Luo Yechen slowly unfolded the roll of paper, revealing the contents inside.
Drawing on the paper is the general layout of the newspaper.
Xiao Xixi took a careful look and made a few suggestions based on her experience of reading newspapers in her previous life.
Luo Yechen asked someone to write down her suggestions and make further improvements.
After finishing their business, Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan declined the Queen's invitation and left the Prince of England's Palace.
After seeing the two off, the British king and queen returned to the house.
Bu Shengyan was still thinking about what the imperial concubine had said just now. She really couldn't understand why Concubine Xiao wanted to change her identity? And looking at the emperor's appearance, it seemed that he knew about this matter and even condoned Concubine Xiao's behavior, which was really puzzling.
Her arm was poked, and she immediately came to her senses and looked up at Luo Yechen standing in front of her.
"do what?"
Luo Yechen said dissatisfiedly: "I was just talking to you, why did you ignore me?"
Bu Shengyan: "Sorry, I was just thinking about something and was a little distracted. What did you say?"
Luo Yechen: "Just now in the study, the emperor asked me if there were any other guests at home today?"
Bu Shengyan frowned slightly and her expression became serious.
"How did you answer?"
Luo Yechen curled his lips: "How else can I answer? Since he asked me this, he must have noticed something. Of course I can only tell the truth, but I only said that there were other guests in my house, but I didn't say who they were."
…
After leaving the Prince of England's Mansion, Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi did not go directly back to the palace, but went to a newly opened noodle shop in the city.
The weather is hot now, and Xiao Xixi doesn't want to eat hot food, so she orders some cold noodles, a larger portion, and also orders all the side dishes she can.
When the dishes were served, there were too many of them to fit on one table, so the restaurant owner had to put together another table specifically for her to place the dishes.
Xiao Xixi stood up and first mixed a bowl of light-flavored cold noodles for Luo Qinghan.
Then she mixed herself a generous portion.
She slurped the noodles, enjoying them very much.
There was a knock on the door of the private room, and Zhao Xian's voice came in through the door.
"Sir, it's me."
Luo Qinghan: "Come in."
The door was pushed open and Zhao Xian walked in.
He closed the door and saluted respectfully.
"Your Majesty, we have found out where the carriage went."
