Chapter 41 I Like Married Women
"Sister Zhuoning, let's go burn incense and pray for our father."
After making sure that Bai Yingxue was not in any serious trouble, Xiao Bicheng returned and asked Xie Zhuoning to go to the Buddhist temple to perform with him.
"Okay." Xie Zhuoning responded obediently. Before leaving, he turned back and looked at the quiet corridor.
Xiao Jinxuan, you can't die.
Otherwise, not only would she lose the chance to take revenge herself, but her plan to repay a favor would also fail before it even began.
But who would want to kill Xiao Jinxuan?
There are only a handful of people who have the ability to send out a large number of killers.
The emperor, the crown prince, Prince Yong, and several generals with heavy troops.
But Xiao Jinxuan did not participate in the fight for the throne, and even his military post was removed by the emperor. He was just an idle prince in the capital. Why did he want to kill him?
Could it be that he was blocking someone's way?
Xie Zhuoning kept thinking about the differences between his previous life and this one, and finally his eyes suddenly widened.
Receive the envoys from Western Chu!
In the previous life, the Crown Prince and King Yong sent saboteurs to each other in order to receive the envoys from Western Chu.
Finally, the emperor was so annoyed that he let the two of them share the responsibility.
In this life, Prince Yong tricked Xiao Bicheng out of the capital to pick the Lover's Flower. He thought he had a sure win, but he didn't expect that the emperor would give the task to Xiao Jinxuan in the end.
Now the Crown Prince has been ordered to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors. If anything happens to Xiao Jinxuan, the job of receiving envoys will return to Prince Yong's hands.
Prince Yong...
Xie Zhuoning narrowed his eyes.
We fought to the death in the last life, but I haven't formally fought him in this life.
But it doesn’t matter. The generous gift that Murong Yan prepared for him is probably on the way now.
"Sister Zhuoning, are you still angry with me?" Seeing that Xie Zhuoning had not said a word all the way, Xiao Bicheng asked tentatively.
Coming back to his senses, Xie Zhuoning pulled up the corners of his mouth and revealed a false smile, "What are you talking about, Crown Prince? It's Zhuoning who is too willful and makes things difficult for you, Crown Prince."
Hearing this, Xiao Bicheng was obviously relieved and said affectionately, "How lucky I am to have met such a good woman like Sister Zhuo Ning?"
Xie Zhuoning did not respond, but looked up and said, "We have arrived at the Buddhist temple."
…
the other side.
Xiao Jinxuan stood in the corridor and watched Xie Zhuoning and Xiao Bicheng leave with an expressionless face.
The five fingers behind his back clenched into fists unconsciously, and he didn't release them until he felt pain, with a look of confusion and surprise on his face.
It was strange. He was the one who asked Xie Zhuoning to leave with the prince, so why did he feel so uncomfortable?
He spread out his hands and looked at the amulet lying in the palm of his hand. He was troubled for a while, but finally decided to stuff the yellow amulet into his chest and put it away safely.
Ling Xiao, who was standing aside, watched his master's actions, his eyebrows raised, with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Their master actually... accepted Miss Xie's things?
Everyone in the capital city knew that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan always kept his distance from women. Not to mention accepting things from them, he never even looked at them for a second.
He attached great importance to etiquette and was afraid of accepting something from someone else by mistake, which would lead to misunderstanding.
But now, he accepted Miss Xie's amulet.
It should be a happy thing that my grandfather has found a way.
But when he thought that the other party was the future Crown Princess, Ling Xiao was no longer happy.
What to do?
It seems their master has fallen in love with a married woman!
Just as he was daydreaming, he suddenly heard their grandfather ask, "How is the investigation on Bai Yingxue going?"
He quickly replied, "I checked. Apart from a conflict with Miss Xie when we first came up the mountain, there was nothing unusual. There was no connection with the killers we encountered."
It was obvious that someone was behind Bai Yingxue's becoming a saint.
But the strange thing is that no matter how they investigated Bai Yingxue, she seemed to be completely unaware of the mastermind behind the scenes.
It was as if someone had pushed her to the top and then disappeared without a trace of fame or glory.
It's like doing good things.
But is it really that simple?
Xiao Jinxuan frowned as he looked into the distance, "Maybe I looked in the wrong direction at the beginning."
Bai Yingxue is not the mastermind, she is just a chess piece being manipulated.
"Go back to the palace first." he ordered.
Ling Xiao was a little worried, "But your injury..."
Not to mention the bumpy ride, if he were attacked again along the way, his injuries would probably become even more serious.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared under the eaves, hanging upside down on the beam like a bat, which scared Ling Xiao.
Just as he was about to draw his sword, the other party threw a package at him, followed by a familiar pause, "The lady said that if you wear this, you can go down the mountain."
After saying that, she jumped onto the roof again and disappeared quickly.
Ling Xiao said with emotion: "Xia Ju's Qinggong is pretty good."
He crept up to them silently, and they didn't even notice!
I don’t know what Miss Xie asked her to send to them.
He glanced at his grandfather and asked, "Do you want to open it?"
"Yeah." Xiao Jinxuan looked indifferent, but his eyes casually drifted towards the package.
Ling Xiao immediately opened the package, and found two sets of women's clothing inside!
"Miss Xie, what do you mean? We can go down the mountain wearing this... Do you want us to dress up as women?"
He suddenly remembered that when they found his grandfather, he was wearing women's clothes. He quickly pinched his thigh and thought about all the sad things in the past before he managed to hold it back.
Xiao Jinxuan's face turned dark, he snorted coldly, and left in a huff.
"Master, what should we do with these clothes?" Ling Xiao hurriedly caught up.
Xiao Jinxuan's words were almost gnashed, "You can wear it if you want!"
…
After pretending to pray for half a day, Xiao Bicheng took Xie Zhuoning and left Fu'an Temple and returned to the capital.
On the way, he said that since he wanted to perform a play, he had to make it more realistic, and he insisted on squeezing into the same carriage with Xie Zhuoning.
It's okay if you have to squeeze in. The carriage can seat five or six people and is quite spacious. It's okay to stay away from him.
But he insisted on sitting next to Xie Zhuoning and raised his hand to grab her hand.
"Brother Crown Prince!" Xie Zhuoning yelled, and instantly moved to the other side as if he was covered in something dirty.
After realizing that she had overreacted, she quickly took out a box of cakes from a small box and said with a stiff smile, "You've been busy all day, so you must be hungry. Eat something to fill your stomach."
She pushed the pastry over and stood between the two of them.
Xiao Bicheng's eyes were dark and somewhat gloomy, "Sister Zhuo Ning seems to be getting more and more distant from me recently."
Her attitude seemed to be much more obedient than before, but every time I tried to meet her, she would always avoid me with various reasons.
"How could that be? I like my prince brother so much." Xie Zhuoning smiled sweetly with a smile on his face.
Love kills him!
Xiao Bicheng's eyebrows softened, and he moved closer again, his breathing audible, "I know how much Sister Zhuo Ning loves me."
What happened today made him realize that Xie Zhuoning was actually a little out of control. If he really caused trouble and broke off the engagement with Yu, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
What's the fastest way to keep a woman?
That is to let her be her own woman!
It just so happened that when he was on the mountain, Bai Yingxue had provoked him and he was feeling very upset.
Now he intends to take things a step further with Xie Zhuoning, and his actions become bolder, "Sister Zhuoning, you are so beautiful..."
