Xiao Xian leaned back in his chair dejectedly and sneered at the ceiling.
She said before that they were just collaborators and they had a very good understanding of each other.
If they were not husband and wife, sharing the same fate, she probably wouldn't even tell him these things.
Everything that happened in the capital had already been sent to him by secret guards. Even if she hadn't written to him, he would have known it clearly!
Xiao Xian's gaze fell on the several sheets of paper spread out on the table again. He clenched his hands tightly, and the papers were instantly crumpled into a ball.
He felt so depressed that he thought he would die at any moment.
He walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the starry sky.
“Knock knock—”
After the knock, the door was pushed open. Xiao Xian thought it was Guangping and did not turn around.
"King Chen."
When he heard Rong Yehua's voice, the frost on Xiao Xian's face suddenly spread.
"What are you doing here?"
"We've received a secret report that my great-grandfather has set off to Beijing!"
Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes, and there was a violent storm surging in his eyes.
The reason she told him this was simply to force him.
Rong Yehua's gaze fell on the desk and he walked forward.
A violent chill surged through Xiao Xian's body. He flashed and just as Rong Yehua's hand was about to touch the crumpled paper ball he had crumpled, he slapped her hand away without mercy.
The back of her hand suddenly swelled up, and pain came over her, and her eyes were full of resentment.
"The King of Zhongshan is welcome to come. If he doesn't mind the news that his great-granddaughter, who is as proud as a man, seduces men, then I am naturally not afraid!"
The candle flame exploded, and the light was much brighter than before.
His handsome face looked even more handsome in the candlelight, but his eyes were colder than the dark night outside.
Rong Yehua's breathing became tight. The fear she felt when he strangled her neck was like a vine growing wildly in the dark night, tightly wrapping around her heart and making even breathing a luxury for her.
"Get out!" Xiao Xian gritted out a cold word from between his teeth.
Rong Yehua bit his lip, glared at him hatefully, then turned and left.
He looked at the ball of paper in his hand with some regret.
No matter what, even if she didn't mention him at all, this was the first letter she wrote to him!
Maybe it wasn’t mentioned this time, but it will be mentioned next time?
Xiao Xian hurriedly unfolded the paper ball and tried hard to smooth out the wrinkles. However, no matter what he did, the wrinkles remained.
He was a little annoyed and accidentally touched the teacup next to him.
The tea soaked the paper, and the beautiful handwriting was completely blurred.
Xiao Xian sat there dejectedly, feeling a bitter taste in his mouth.
He had just spoken with full confidence, but once the King of Zhongshan came to the capital, his father would certainly let him marry Rong Yehua for the sake of stability in the vassal states and to appease the King of Zhongshan.
But he knew Qu Li's personality too well!
There was absolutely no way she would compromise.
Time flies like a white horse passing by.
Xiao Xian escorted "Feng Yi" to the border between Dagan and Southern Qi.
There were several assassination attempts during this period, but they were all blocked by Xiao Xian.
"Fifth Prince, I am bidding you farewell here. I hope you can get what you wish for!" His pair of black eyes faced the sunlight, but they were as cold as ice.
Feng Yi raised an eyebrow, "Thank you, Prince Chen, for risking your life to protect me this time!"
Xiao Xian's pupils narrowed.
Although the person in front of him was no different from Feng Yi, he always felt that something was wrong.
Until the Southern Qi delegation's carriages and horses were moving farther and farther away and almost out of sight, he suddenly thought of something and rode his horse to catch up, but was stopped by Guangping.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Xian's breathing was a little disordered.
These days, this "Feng Yi" never had any direct contact with him. He just thought that he was deliberately keeping a distance from him because he was afraid of being plotted against again. Now he was shocked.
The person he has been escorting during this period is clearly a substitute!
The real Feng Yi is so cunning, I'm afraid he has already returned to Southern Qi!
Guangping couldn't guess what he was thinking, and knew that he had been in a bad mood recently, so she could only stay by his side quietly.
"Feng Yi, bastard!"
Xiao Xian roared angrily.
The sound mixed with strong internal force traveled far away.
Even though the Southern Qi delegation had disappeared from sight, "Feng Yi" still vaguely heard something.
The corners of his mouth curled up in mockery and he raised his eyebrows.
"Guangping, contact the secret guards of Southern Qi immediately to see if anything important has happened in Southern Qi recently." Xiao Xian finally calmed down, but his voice was still very low.
Guangping nodded and said, "I will contact them right away. But, what important matter does Your Highness refer to?"
"Just contact them!"
Xiao Xian turned his horse around and happened to meet Rong Yehua's gaze again.
His eyes were cold and his face was solemn.
That night, Guangping received a letter from the secret guard.
"Your Highness, recently the Second Prince of Southern Qi was discovered to have had an affair with a concubine. The Emperor of Southern Qi has confined him to the Second Prince's residence. The concubine was secretly executed, and it was revealed to the public that she was seriously ill!"
Xiao Xian's pupils contracted.
He dared to say that this was definitely done by Feng Yi!
If the two of them were not rivals in love, he would admire Feng Yi.
Although I have been a proton in a foreign country for ten years, my will has not been worn out!
Their experiences are actually somewhat similar, but not completely similar.
His mother died early, but he still had his father and grandmother who loved him.
Although Feng Yi has a mother, she is his weak point in balancing him.
Guangping took a look at his expression and continued, "I heard that a dragon robe was found in the secret room of the eldest prince's mansion, and weapons were found in the suburban manor. The Emperor of Southern Qi was furious!"
Xiao Xian frowned and raised the corners of his mouth. Although it was a mockery, there was also a hint of unknown meaning.
Guangping thought he knew him very well, but at this moment he was also confused.
"Third Prince, has something happened to the Fourth Prince as well?" he asked casually.
Guangping looked at the secret letter and said, "That's not the case."
The smile on Xiao Xian's face grew even wider, "Feng Yi is indeed amazing!"
If something happened to all the princes, people would definitely notice that something was wrong.
Feng Yi just happened to return to China, and there would definitely be people who would think that all this was done by him.
But now, it is the second prince and the eldest prince who are in trouble, while the third prince and the fourth prince are safe and sound. This is very intriguing.
"Send someone to contact the Third and Fourth Princes secretly. There's no need to say it explicitly. Just tell them to be careful and guard against Feng Yi."
"Your Highness, are you saying that all this was done by the Fifth Prince?"
Xiao Xian sneered: "Have you been too comfortable recently, so your brain has rusted?"
Guangping touched his nose.
He wanted to say, if all this was done by Feng Yi, then didn’t Feng Yi also succeed in plotting against you, Your Highness?
However, he didn't dare to say this out loud, for fear that Xiao Xian would send him to other countries to mine black iron ore.
"I'll make arrangements right away!"
