Chapter 187 Despite the bother, I am happy
Chu Jinyan returned to the cabin with a gloomy face.
The thunderstorm came with great force, and soon a light mist rose in the lake. Lu Xiang looked out the window, and everything was hazy. The sound of stringed instruments in his ears gradually stopped.
"Your Highness, let's go back to the shore first." Lu Xiang said.
It's too unsafe to leave the boat in the middle of the lake during this heavy rain.
Chu Jinyan nodded: "Sheng Xian, come to the shore."
Many boats in the lake gradually moved towards the shore. Sheng Xian directed the direction and moved away from other boats.
"If it doesn't work today, try again tomorrow." Chu Jinyan glanced outside, feeling very depressed.
Lu Xiang shook her head: "No, I don't really want to eat fish."
"Don't you like fish?" Chu Jinyan frowned slightly. "How about coming to my house in a couple of days to eat roast suckling pig? The chef I hired is very skilled, and the roast suckling pig is especially good. The crispy skin... the tender meat, dipped in the sauce, will definitely make you praise it."
Lu Xiang suppressed the saliva that kept flowing out of her and shook her head quickly in horror: "I am a humble servant and I dare not disturb the prince's mansion."
No matter how delicious the roast suckling pig is, she doesn't want to become the subject of public discussion.
It’s not like I’m tired of living.
"You can bother me as much as you want. I'm happy." Chu Jinyan said seriously, "In my heart, you are different."
I am not happy.
Lu Xiang puffed up his cheeks angrily, glancing at Chu Jinyan without daring to say anything.
What does it mean for an unmarried girl like her to go to the Eighth Prince's mansion?
"Okay, I won't come, I won't come." Chu Jinyan quickly changed his tone, his eyes somewhat complaining: "Then I will ask the chef to bring a pig to the Lu Mansion in two days and cook it for you alone."
Lu Xiang: “…”
How is she going to get along with her grandmother and father then?
Where did the cook come from, and where did the pig come from?
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. No need to trouble you."
Chu Jinyan: "Whenever you go to see the Queen Mother, I will send the people and the pigs to Jingren Palace."
Lu Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe...a few days later."
"Okay." Chu Jinyan nodded in understanding, a faint smile flashed in his sparkling eyes, like dew and sunshine.
He knew that what Lu Xiang could not resist the most was the temptation of delicious food. Feeding her with delicious food would please her more than giving her gold and silver jewelry. As long as he kept feeding her, he would be able to feed her into her heart one day.
Thunderstorms come quickly and go away quickly.
At this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps came, followed by Yuan Feng's anxious voice outside the door: "Your Highness, something has happened."
Chu Jinyan: "Come in and talk."
Yuanfeng pushed the door open and Sheng Xian followed him in.
"What's the matter?" Chu Jinyan remained calm, but his deep black eyes were chilly and full of chilling intent.
Yuanfeng was about to speak, but suddenly looked at Lu Xiang hesitantly.
Lu Xiang stood up and said, "Your Highness, I will go back first."
Judging from Yuanfeng's expression, this matter belongs to Chu Jinyan's secret.
Chu Jinyan blurted out: "Sit down, I have nothing to hide from you, listen together."
Lu Xiang: “…”
What's going on with this unreserved visual connection between the couple?
Lu Xiang wanted to cry but had no tears. Suddenly she found that she couldn't resist Chu Jinyan who kept teasing her at every turn.
She didn't really want to hear it.
Yuan Feng didn't consider whether Lu Xiang wanted to listen or not. He just knew that his master didn't care, so before Lu Xiang could speak, he said, "Our base outside the northern suburbs of the city was discovered, and everyone inside was killed. Even all the gold and silver hidden there were looted."
That was the place His Highness used to collect intelligence. Its destruction would cause great harm.
Sheng Xian was shocked: "What? That place is so hidden, how could it be suddenly taken down by someone?"
Chu Jinyan pursed her lips and said nothing, her handsome eyebrows tightly knitted together. This was indeed beyond his expectations.
When Lu Xiang heard this, a look of astonishment appeared on his face. Then, he didn't know what he was thinking of, and looked at Chu Jinyan, hesitant to speak.
Yuan Feng keenly sensed Lu Xiang's strangeness and asked, "Miss San, do you have any ideas?"
Chu Jinyan heard this and looked up at Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, have you ever thought that there is a traitor?"
Chu Jinyan didn't say anything, Sheng Xian suddenly shouted: "Impossible, that place is just an ordinary house, inconspicuous, not everyone knows about it, and the people inside are all trusted by Your Highness..."
By the end, Sheng Xian himself couldn't continue.
Many of them had been through thick and thin with His Highness, and Sheng Xian was unwilling to believe that any of them had betrayed His Highness, but precisely because it was so secretive, it could only be someone among them who leaked it.
Yuanfeng's face was tense and an unknown anger was burning in his chest, as if he urgently needed an outlet.
In fact, they all had this guess in their hearts, but everyone trusted each other and no one was willing to doubt their brothers.
"Yuanfeng, check." Chu Jinyan finally spoke lightly.
He raised his eyes, his gaze was as heavy as iron, as cold as ice, dark and calm, yet as if a storm was brewing. His demeanor was calm yet sharp and imposing.
"I obey your command." Yuanfeng responded with a fist and gritted teeth.
The hatred for the betrayer is more of a heartache.
After saying that, Yuan Feng turned around and was about to leave when Lu Xiang suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Yuanfeng turned around and looked at Lu Xiang in confusion.
"Is there someone named Wan Mo around your Highness?" Lu Xiang looked at Chu Jinyan and asked.
Her long eyelashes formed a graceful arc under her eyes, and her slender autumn pupils were like a pool of autumn water, shimmering and shining like stars.
As soon as she finished speaking, the three of them stared at her in astonishment.
Chu Jinyan asked: "How do you know?"
As he spoke, his eyes darkened, and the dark color in his eyes slowly melted away.
Lu Xiang wouldn't mention Wan Mo for no reason, so...
"So there is no problem!" It was not a question, but an affirmation.
Lu Xiang was slightly stunned. She thought Chu Jin questioned her at the banquet.
"Your Highness, are you willing to believe me?"
Chu Jinyan raised the corner of her eye slightly and said softly: "You are my future imperial concubine. If I don't believe you, who else can I believe?"
Lu Xiang's mouth twitched: "..."
Can we still have a pleasant chat?
Three black lines slid down Wanfeng and Shengxian's foreheads: "..."
Master, at such a serious moment, could you please be serious?
Lu Xiang ignored Chu Jinyan's eyes that seemed to want to drown him, and said, "Once Ah Man and I went out on the street and saw the Second Prince in a teahouse. There was a young man standing beside him. Ah Man said to himself at that time that the young man looked like Wan Mo, but he only saw his back, and only once at that time. Ah Man forgot about it afterwards, and I didn't care about it either. I heard you talking about it today, so I remembered the scene again."
"It's also possible that I made a mistake. If it turns out that Wan Mo is innocent, I would like to apologize to him in person."
