Chapter 95: Prince Xuan or Crown Prince Chu

Ye Wuque never thought that he was only away for a few days to deal with several groups of killers who followed him from Western Chu.

When he reappeared, rumors had spread throughout the capital.

The moment he knew that Prince Xuan had a concubine, he was quite happy, if he had not heard the next second that the concubine's name was Xu Cao'er.

She promised herself that she had agreed, but she kept getting into trouble with Xiao Jinxuan!

The moment he saw the two of them walking out of the tavern side by side, he almost couldn't hold back the murderous intent in his eyes.

Xie Zhuoning swallowed hard, and raised his lips in embarrassment, "This... that... I said it was just a coincidence, do you believe it?"

"Oh? Really?" Ye Wuque sneered.

It's such a coincidence that they meet at this late hour. They must be destined to be together!

Xie Zhuoning wanted to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, a hand hooked his waist and pulled him back into Xiao Jinxuan's arms.

His Royal Highness Prince Xuan's expression was not very good, dark and aggressive, "What did you explain to him? Don't forget what you promised me?"

The big hand on his waist was like welding iron, holding it tightly. Xie Zhuoning couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried, and he was secretly anxious.

Seeing this, Ye Wuque narrowed his eyes instantly, with a cold light in his eyes, "Xie Zhuoning, come here!"

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

Did he want to guess why she didn't move?

Is it because you don't want to?

Of course it’s because she can’t move!

In her ear, Xiao Jinxuan seemed to be unwilling to let her go, "It seems that you are very familiar with Prince Chu? Huh?"

He was very close, as if on purpose. As soon as Xie Zhuoning raised his head, the face was right in front of him.

It was really right in front of me, as if if it were any closer, the two of us would be able to kiss.

She clearly saw her own reflection in the man's eyes, as well as the pent-up anger.

At that moment, the only thought that came to her mind was screwed.

She was always very careful and cautious in everything she did, but she never expected to fail in this matter.

Since it has come to this, Xie Zhuoning simply gave up.

After taking a deep breath, she said, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, please let me go first. It's not good to be seen in public."

She was telling the truth. Even though it was raining heavily and there were not many people on the street, who knows, someone like Ye Wuque might suddenly pass by.

If the news of the two of them hugging each other were to get out, I'm afraid the whole capital would explode tomorrow!

Xiao Jinxuan looked at her with complicated eyes, and finally let go of her hand.

Seeing Xie Zhuoning make his choice, Ye Wuque smiled faintly, "Little Cao, you are so good."

He held out his hand, asking her to come over.

Xie Zhuoning took a few steps away, and said in a cold and indifferent voice, "Prince Chu, please respect yourself. I am the future consort of the prince of Daye."

The words "future prince consort" instantly drew a clear line between them.

The smile on Ye Wuque's face froze in an instant, "You..."

"Of course I remember what I promised the Crown Prince of Chu. What happened today will never happen again."

She took off the private seal and asked Xia Ju to return it to Xiao Jinxuan.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't take it, and the anger in his eyes could no longer be suppressed. "What do you mean?"

"Don't be angry, Your Highness Prince Xuan. I will do what I promised you. As for the so-called mistress status, after attending the plum blossom banquet, I will find a chance to make this status disappear completely."

The three of them were all standing in the rain, but it seemed as if there was a Chu River and Han River between them, forming a world of their own.

Xie Zhuoning held up his umbrella and said in a calm tone, "From now on, I, Xie Zhuoning, will have nothing to do with you two anymore."

After saying that, she got on the carriage of Zhenyang Marquis Mansion and asked Xia Ju to go back home.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan refused to accept the private seal, Xia Ju forced it into Ling Xiao's arms, turned around, jumped into the carriage, and drove away.

Ye Wuque's throat tightened and he wanted to chase after him.

But Xiao Jinxuan was not a pushover. He raised his hand in front of him and said, "Prince Chu, please be aware of your identity."

"Hehe, I should return this sentence to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan." Ye Wuque sneered.

He spoke so sanctimoniously, did he forget that when Xie Zhuoning married into the royal family in the future, she would have to call him the emperor's uncle?

Xiao Jinxuan said calmly: "The peace agreement has been signed. When will the Crown Prince of Chu return?"

"I have already told the King of Ye that the scenery in Daye is charming and I want to stay here for a while to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Why, once the agreement is signed, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan wants to chase me away? It's not that easy to get rid of a donkey after it has done its job, right?"

"I dare not. I just didn't expect that the Crown Prince of Chu would be so leisurely and elegant when the affairs of the Chu State are so busy."

The two men confronted each other tit for tat, neither giving in.

Ye Wuque paused for a second, then suddenly realized, "Did you let those Chu assassins in?"

He wondered why a large number of killers suddenly appeared to assassinate him.

With such a big commotion, it is impossible for Daye to be completely unaware.

Now it seems that those people were clearly let in by Xiao Jinxuan on purpose!

Ye Wuque clenched his fists, his eyes filled with evil, "Aren't you afraid that I will die in Daye and the peace agreement will be invalidated?"

Xiao Jinxuan said calmly: "The King of Chu has so many princes. Using a non-biological prince to exchange for decades of peace between the two countries is a very cost-effective deal."

Besides, he would collect evidence to prove that he died in the internal strife among the princes of their Chu State.

With a hint of sarcasm on his lips, Ye Wuque revealed a devilish smile, "It's a pity that I couldn't do what His Royal Highness Prince Xuan wanted."

He had known for a long time that this trip to Daye would not be peaceful, so he killed the two biggest hidden dangers before setting off.

The rest is nothing to be afraid of.

Xiao Jinxuan said calmly, "There's nothing to regret. She didn't choose me, nor did she choose you, the Crown Prince of Chu, right?"

These words wiped away the smile on Ye Wuque's face, and his murderous intent was immediately apparent.

"Your Highness Prince Xuan, have you ever thought about your own death?"

“Shua——”

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of dark shadows appeared from the rooftop opposite.

The black shadow held a crossbow, aiming at Xiao Jinxuan.

“clang——”

Ling Xiao drew out his sword.

All the Feiyun Guards around also appeared.

Xiao Jinxuan remained calm and composed, "How does the Crown Prince of Chu know that it wasn't you who died?"

Ye Wuque narrowed his eyes and said word by word, "Because I will not kill her, but you will!"

It is unrealistic for Xie Zhuoning to stay away from Xiao Jinxuan. Given their identities, there will always be opportunities for them to meet at various banquets.

Therefore, he must deal with the biggest hidden danger for her before returning to Xichu!

Hearing this reason, Xiao Jinxuan laughed out of anger, "You said, I will kill her?"

How is that possible?

How could he bear to give it up? How could he bear to give it up?

"There is no point in saying more. Even if I have to live or die today, I will drag you into hell with me!"

Just as Ye Wuque was about to give the order to shoot arrows, he saw the carriage from the Zhenyang Marquis's Mansion, which had just left, return.

The strange thing is that no one was driving.

Xiao Jinxuan was the first to react. He immediately jumped into the car and lifted the curtain to check.

The car was empty, not a single person was inside.

It was raining so hard, but Xie Zhuoning was not in the carriage. Where did she go?

Ye Wuque also saw the scene in the carriage, and immediately frowned, saying to Xiao Jinxuan: "Separately search!"

We will settle their grudge another day!
