Chapter 448: Your Highness Prince Xuan is a bit fierce

"Meeting each other is fate, so why not stay and have dinner together?" Xie Zhuoning invited He Mingyang with a smile.

He Mingyang looked at her, bowed and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."

Murong Yan's eyebrows jumped again.

Judging from He Mingyang's resistance when we first met him, he is a cautious person who is not very willing to accept other people's kindness.

Why did he agree as soon as the young lady asked?

During the meal, people toasted each other with cups.

Murong Yan didn't mean to mention the prince's friendship with students, so he turned around and asked him, "Brother He, what do you think about this?"

After a brief thought, He Mingyang said, "Your Highness's move can indeed win the hearts of students all over the world, but I think that a good monarch, even if he does not deliberately please others, will attract talented people from all over the world to follow him sincerely."

"Brother He, do you want to follow the prince?" Murong Yan continued to test.

He Mingyang was obviously a little surprised. "Brother Murong, what are you talking about? Isn't the reason we take part in the Spring Examination to be able to serve the country one day?"

This answer...

It's the same as saying nothing.

Murong Yan and Xie Zhuoning exchanged a glance, and Xie Zhuoning immediately smiled and said, "Why are you saying all this? Right now, the most important thing is for you to relax and prepare for the exam. Come, have some food. I made a reservation a few days in advance. These fish are all blackwater white fish that were shipped in expedited."

Booked a few days in advance...

In other words, this meal was originally a feast prepared for Murong Yan.

As for myself, it was just an accident and I missed it.

When he thought of this, He Mingyang couldn't help but look between the two people opposite him. His heart was in turmoil and he felt irritated for no reason.

He seized the glass and drank it all.

When he was about to pour the wine, Murong Yan held his arm and said, "Brother He, you will be going to the examination hall tomorrow, please don't drink too much."

With this reminder, He Mingyang suddenly came to his senses and said quickly, "Brother Murong is right."

What's wrong with him?

Why did you suddenly become so impatient?

After finishing the meal, seeing that it was getting late, Murong Yan first sent Xie Zhuoning to the carriage.

"What do you think of He Mingyang, Miss?"

"It feels a little off, and I can't really put my finger on it. Just try it out first and find a chance to test it out."

"Okay, be careful on your journey." Murong Yan lowered the car curtain and watched Xie Zhuoning leave.

Behind him, He Mingyang came over and stood next to him, asking in a teasing tone, "Brother Murong likes Miss Yu?"

Like, what a luxurious word.

Murong Yan laughed at himself and shook his head, "The eldest lady and I are not the same kind of people."

He Mingyang immediately said, "As long as Brother Murong is admitted, he will be worthy of her."

Hearing Murong Yan calling that girl "Miss" all the time, he thought that she must be the daughter of some high-ranking official in the capital. The gap between their status was too great, so he didn't dare to have any thoughts about her.

Murong Yan glanced at him sideways, with a somewhat intriguing look, "You don't understand, it's impossible for her and I to be together in this life."

Hearing this, He Mingyang's heart started pounding.

Seeing how well Miss Yu treated Murong Yan, and that their relationship was obviously unusual, he thought that they were already in love and would propose marriage as soon as Murong Yan passed the imperial examination.

When he thought of this, he felt as if he had bitten into a piece of unripe fruit. His heart felt sour and numb, and he couldn't recover.

But now Murong Yan's words gave him a new possibility -

It's impossible for both of them to be together in this lifetime, but does that mean that I still have a chance?

…

The carriage slowly drove away from the capital. Xie Zhuoning lifted a corner of the curtain and watched the direction of Prince Xuan's Mansion getting farther and farther away from him.

Seeing that she looked a little lost, Xia Ju asked, "Miss, are you going home?"

Xie Zhuoning shook his head gently, "I won't go back."

It was getting dark, and the city gates would soon be locked. If she returned to Prince Xuan's Palace now, she would have no chance of leaving the city tonight.

I have already wasted some time today because of the practice for Murong Yan. If I delay any longer, I am afraid I will not be able to learn Yi Ziyan's insect control technique.

And even if she went back, she might not be able to see Xiao Jinxuan.

He is currently busy trying the Han family case, and he is probably spending the entire day in the Yufu Division, with no time to return to the palace.

Thinking of this, she sighed softly.

When the carriage reached the city gate, the soldiers raised their hands to block her way, "Stop, come here for inspection!"

The capital is an important place, so it is common for inspections to be stricter sometimes.

Xia Ju drove the carriage aside, and a figure lifted the curtain and rushed in.

Before Xie Zhuoning could react, he was grabbed by someone and thrown into his arms.

Smelling the unique scent that belonged only to men, her tense body slowly relaxed, and her hand holding Chiyu slowly loosened, "Xiao Jinxuan, why are you here?"

"Don't talk, let me hold you for a while." Xiao Jinxuan rested his head on her neck and sniffed her scent almost greedily.

Both of them were like fish in a dried-up pond, finally welcoming their first rain.

Until this moment, I felt like I was alive again.

After hugging enough, Xiao Jinxuan began to kiss her, kissing her nose and eyes, as if he was holding his favorite thing and couldn't let it go.

After the two of them had cuddled enough, Xie Zhuoning lay in Xiao Jinxuan's arms, finally having some time to talk.

"Your Highness Prince Xuan has been a bit aggressive lately!" Her eyes were smiling and her tone was hurried.

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes swept over her body with a deep look, "What's so fierce about her?"

"Cut off the Crown Prince's arm, seize the Imperial Guards, and have the Queen write an edict of guilt..."

She counted them one by one on her fingers.

However, within a short period of time, the capital city was turned upside down by Xiao Jinxuan.

Hearing her say this, Xiao Jinxuan was obviously a little disappointed, "It turns out that Aning only cares about these."

Xie Zhuoning was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that his stomach ached. "Of course, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan has even more powerful tricks, and only I know them..."

That little tone makes people's hearts itch.

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes darkened and he almost wanted to kill the person right there.

Xie Zhuoning saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately pulled his arm and acted coquettishly, begging Xiao Jinxuan to tell him how he had framed Meng Xing and the queen. "The secret report only told me the result, I don't know the process yet."

Xiao Jinxuan couldn't stand her being like this, so he told her everything, "After getting the list from Yi Ziyan, I immediately had people secretly investigate everyone on the list, and tried to find the leverage that Qianjinlou had over them."

Among them was a young general who was Meng Xing's confidant. It was he who told Xiao Jinxuan about Meng Xing's concubine and Father Han.

After in-depth investigation, he discovered that Father Han had a son named Han Ding, who served in the Nanyang Army. When the army went to Xichuan to suppress bandits, he was a pioneer.

Now Han Ding went home to visit his family, but he couldn't find his father and sister, so he reported the matter to the local authorities.

So he immediately sent someone to inform Han Ding about the news about his father and sister, and the plot began.

"So from the moment Han Ding rang the drum, he already knew that his father was dead?"

"yes."

"So Han Ding requested an autopsy, and Lord Yang of Jingzhao Prefecture showed up with the coroner by coincidence. Was that also something you arranged in advance?"

"yes."

"So it was you who planned that Han Ding got poisoned when he drank alcohol when he went to the Queen's invitation?"

"yes."

"What about Aunt Suqiu? She has been with the Queen for so many years. How did you convince her to help you change the wine?"

This is the point that Xie Zhuoning finds most difficult to understand in the entire arrangement.

I'm afraid that not only she can't figure it out, but Empress Sima and Crown Prince Xiao Bicheng also can't figure it out.
