Chapter 448 The Secret Cannot Be Revealed
Luo Yechen originally wanted to find a quiet place to talk to the prince alone and hint that he had been cheated on, but he didn't expect that the prince would bring Concubine Xiao along.
If that's the case, when the Crown Prince finds out the truth, won't he kill Concubine Xiao on the spot?
Thinking of that scene, Luo Yechen was actually a little excited.
He had been teased by Concubine Xiao so many times before, and today he could finally get back at her!
The three of them went to Donglai Tower.
Donglailou is one of the most famous restaurants in the city. It has an elegant environment, good service, and first-rate food and wine. The only downside is that it is expensive.
Of course, for people like the Crown Prince and the King of England who are not short of money, being expensive is not a disadvantage, but rather it can demonstrate their class status.
The King of England expressed his desire to find a quieter place.
So the shopkeeper personally led them to the private room at the innermost part.
This private room is quite a distance from the outside, and outside the window is the lake, which is extremely quiet.
Maybe because he was too excited, Luo Yechen needed to go to the toilet. After ordering the dishes, he said he wanted to go out for a while.
Xiao Xixi didn't react.
Luo Qinghan's gaze towards him became subtle.
Luo Yechen asked warily: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Luo Qinghan: "Didn't you go to the toilet in Canglan Garden just now? It's been such a short time and you're going again. You really should eat more leeks to replenish your body."
Luo Yechen was immediately furious: "I didn't go to the toilet just now! Don't slander me, my kidneys are very good!"
Luo Qinghan: "Since you didn't go to the toilet just now, what did you do secretly?"
"I wasn't sneaking around, I was just wandering around and stumbled across something."
Having said that, Luo Yechen deliberately glanced at Concubine Xiao.
Xiao Xixi was concentrating on eating the peanuts sent by the restaurant and did not receive any eye hints from the King of England at all.
Luo Qinghan: "What are you looking at my concubine doing?"
Luo Yechen sneered: "You will know it later, I will be back soon."
After saying that, he walked out without looking back.
Luo Qinghan turned his head to look at the woman beside him and asked in a low voice: "Did you see your senior brother just now?"
Xiao Xixi raised her head, swallowed the peanuts in her mouth, nodded and said yes.
Luo Qinghan: "What did you talk about?"
Xiao Xixi: "I persuaded him to surrender, but he refused. Then he also tried to persuade me to surrender, but I also refused."
Luo Qinghan was left a little speechless by her summary.
He then asked, “What else?”
Xiao Xixi: "I also asked him about something."
She explained the whole story of why Prince Xiling came to Beijing.
Luo Qinghan listened quietly, thinking: "Recently, some people have indeed hinted that the power of the princes in various places is too great, and suggested reducing the power of the princes. They also used the case of Prince Chenliu as a precedent. Although the emperor has not made his attitude clear, in many cases, no attitude actually means tacit consent."
Xiao Xixi: "So, King Xiling is dead?"
Luo Qinghan: "Not necessarily. Reducing the power of the vassal states is not an easy matter. There are more than ten vassal states in Dasheng. Once my father decides to reduce the power of the vassal states, the vassal states will definitely rise up in resistance. By then, I'm afraid the whole country will be in chaos."
He paused here and asked again.
"From the look of Prince Xiling, do you think he will die young?"
Xiao Xixi thought about it carefully and said, "I can't tell. It should be that the senior brother made some adjustments to his face, just like Qiu Yuan's situation. This move must be to prevent me from predicting their fate through their faces."
Luo Qinghan: "Then can you figure out who will be the next leader of Xuanmen?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "No, Master said that the next leader of Xuanmen will affect the world situation. This is the legendary secret of heaven. The so-called secret of heaven cannot be leaked. Even I can't actively calculate the secret of heaven. I can only passively sense it. But this kind of sense is not something you can get if you want it. It requires opportunity."
Luo Qinghan remained silent.
Xiao Xixi encouraged: "Although some things are destined by heaven, I believe that man can conquer nature!"
Luo Qinghan: "I'm not worried about that. I'm wondering if your ability to sense the secrets of heaven comes at a price. After all, there is no free lunch in this world. If you gain something, you will definitely lose something."
Xiao Xixi blinked and said nothing.
Luo Qinghan: "What's the price?"
Xiao Xixi deliberately kept it a secret: "You'll know when the time comes."
Without waiting for the prince to continue asking questions, she quickly changed the subject.
"I have something I want to tell the King of England, but I can't say it to his face, for fear that he will be embarrassed, so I would like to ask Your Highness to help hint to him."
Luo Qinghan really wanted to know what price she would have to pay, but from the look on her face, it was clear that she didn't want to continue this topic.
Since she didn't want to say it, he had to temporarily suppress his uneasiness and asked according to her words.
"What do you want to say to the King?"
Xiao Xixi leaned over and whispered, "I just saw a faint green light flashing above Luo Yechen's head."
Luo Qinghan didn't understand what she meant at first.
"Green light? Why didn't I see it?"
Xiao Xixi: "Oh, this is just an exaggerated rhetoric, don't take it seriously. I can tell from his face that he might be cheated on. He definitely doesn't know about this. Try to remind him and make him stop right away."
Luo Qinghan: "You mean, Xie Chuxue had an affair with another man?"
Xiao Xixi nodded: "Yes, judging from her face, Xie Chuxue is already a lucky star, but not for the King of England, but for someone else. If the King of England insists on marrying her, he will most likely be cuckolded."
In fact, she had advised Luo Yechen at the beginning to take it easy and not be fooled by others, but he refused to believe it and insisted on jumping into it.
While the two were talking, Luo Yechen came back.
As soon as he entered the room, he cast a meaningful look at Concubine Xiao.
This time, Xiao Xixi received the other party's eye hint, and she was shocked. Did he already know that he was going to be cheated on?
She couldn't help but look at the prince next to her.
The prince remained calm and motioned for her to be at ease.
Luo Yechen noticed Concubine Xiao's eyes and felt secretly proud. See, she must be feeling guilty, so she looked at the prince's reaction. She was afraid that her affair would be exposed.
Judging from the Crown Prince's expression, he must have been kept in the dark by Concubine Xiao.
Luo Yechen thought, if he hadn't taken the Crown Prince's face into consideration, he would have definitely exposed this woman's true fickle nature on the spot!
The guys came in with food and drinks.
One dish after another was placed on the table, emitting enticing aroma.
Xiao Xixi was immediately attracted by these delicacies.
At this moment, she forgot all about King Ying and Prince Xie Chuxue.
No matter how big the gossip is, it can’t compare to the delicious food in front of you!
