The person the two encountered was none other than Li Yuanmu.
Xie Xuan frowned slightly when he saw Yun Chuwei avoiding Li Yuanmu.
He whispered, "Weiwei, why are you avoiding him?"
She didn't avoid the Crown Prince, so why did she specifically avoid Li Yuanmu?
Is Weiwei taking Li Yuanmu too seriously?
Yun Chuwei said in a low voice, "Li Yuanmu has seen you with a mask on, and he has also seen you without a mask. If he knew that you were Xie Xuan, things might get worse."
Xie Xuan felt a little better after hearing Yun Chuwei's words.
It turns out that the reason Yun Chuwei was avoiding Li Yuanmu was because of him.
He smiled slightly and said, "So what if he knows?"
Yun Chu frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss.
"Even if he finds out, it won't really matter. But Xie Sheng is looking for you. If Xie Sheng finds out about this, it might not be good!"
If Xie Sheng knew that Xie Xuan was the one who killed him in his previous life, he would definitely kill Xie Xuan no matter what.
Xie Xuan pondered for a moment, then continued, "Don't worry about this. I can guarantee that Li Yuanmu won't tell anyone!"
After Xie Xuan finished speaking, he took Yun Chuwei's hand and walked towards Li Yuanmu without avoiding her.
Yun Chuwei was somewhat surprised: "Xie Xuan, if you didn't avoid him, there was no need for you to rush up to him!"
Xie Xuan had a smile on his face.
Of course it was necessary; he had to make it clear to Li Yuanmu that he was Yun Chuwei's rightful fiancé.
Xie Xuan moved a few steps closer to Yun Chuwei and said, "We're practically acquaintances. If we see each other, we should at least go up and say hello, right? Besides, didn't you promise General Li that you'd take care of his second son?"
Yun Chuwei felt that Xie Xuan's words made sense, so she did not refute them.
Li Yuanmu saw Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan walking towards him hand in hand from afar.
He had never considered Xie Xuan's true identity, and now, seeing the two of them walking hand in hand in front of everyone, he was completely stunned.
He had some guesses in his mind.
But he didn't want his guess to be true.
However, his hopes were shattered when passersby bowed to Xie Xuan and addressed him as His Highness Prince Xuan.
He stood there, somewhat lost and bewildered, unsure of what to do.
In his heart, the person holding Yun Chuwei's hand could be an assassin, a general under Yun Chuwei's command, or even the Crown Prince... but he could not be His Highness Prince Xuan.
Because if this person is His Highness Prince Xuan, it will crush his last glimmer of hope.
While Li Yuanmu was still in a daze, Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan had already arrived in front of him.
Seeing Li Yuanmu's dazed appearance, Yun Chuwei asked, "Second Young Master Li, you seem a bit restless. Is it because you're not used to the climate and environment after arriving in the capital?"
"I'm fine." Li Yuanmu smiled bitterly, but his gaze was fixed on Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan chuckled and said, "Young Master Li, let's get to know each other again. I am Xie Xuan, Weiwei's fiancé!"
Li Yuanmu felt as if something inside him had collapsed, and his face paled.
Xie Xuan always had a smile on her face.
He whispered to Yun Chuwei, "Weiwei, I need to have a private talk with him. You wait for me here!"
Yun Chuwei knew that Xie Xuan wanted to talk about the masked identity, so she nodded.
Xie Xuan clasped his hands in a fist salute to Li Yuanmu and said, "Second Young Master Li, please excuse me for speaking to you!"
-
Finally, Xie Xuan and Li Yuanmu went to the outer corridor of the palace to talk.
Because very few people pass through this place.
Yun Chuwei leaned lazily against a nearby pillar, waiting for Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan looked at Li Yuanmu and said earnestly, "Second Young Master, now that you know my true identity, please don't spread this matter, including the fact that I wore a mask while accompanying Weiwei. We are not yet married, and I don't want Weiwei to be criticized because of these things! If you can help keep this a secret, I can grant you one request!"
Looking at Xie Xuan, Li Yuanmu felt even more bitter.
Xie Xuan could threaten him, order him around, and even manipulate him by exploiting his feelings for Yun Chuwei.
But Xie Xuan did not do that.
Xie Xuan pleaded with him in a low voice, wanting to make a deal with him.
Li Yuanmu felt a sharp pain in his chest.
This is undoubtedly Xie Xuan proclaiming his care for Yun Chuwei and asserting his sovereignty.
It also emphasizes that they are mutually in love and that their relationship is perfectly legitimate.
Li Yuanmu said with some difficulty, "I don't need Your Highness's promise. I won't tell anyone. Your Highness, please rest assured!"
How could he allow the reputation of someone he likes to be damaged?
Seeing that things were developing as he had expected, Xie Xuan smiled and bowed to Li Yuanmu, saying, "Thank you, Second Young Master Li."
Li Yuanmu remained silent.
-
Just as Xie Xuan was talking to Li Yuanmu, Xu Sheng appeared.
When he saw Yun Chuwei, he took the initiative to walk over and respectfully bowed to her.
"Miss Yun!"
Yun Chuwei returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Lord Xu, I was just about to ask you for help, and I didn't expect to run into you here!"
Xu Sheng said with a smile, "Miss, please feel free to ask if there is anything you need."
Xu Sheng always remembered that it was because of Yun Chuwei that he was able to enter the Ministry of Justice and become the Minister of Justice.
Now that Yun Chuwei has something she needs his help with, he is naturally very happy to do so.
Yun Chuwei said, "Lord Xu has served as the Prefect of Jingzhao for many years. Surely you have many shrewd and worldly-wise officials under your command? I have a friend who is new to the capital and doesn't know much about the ways of the city. Lord Xu, could you please find two reliable people to guide me? I would be extremely grateful!"
Lord Xu glanced at Xie Xuan and Li Yuanmu, who were walking back, and asked, "The friend that Miss mentioned, is it Li Yuanmu, the second young master of the Li family?"
Yun Chuwei nodded slightly: "Yes!"
At this moment, Xie Xuan and Li Yuanmu had already returned.
Xu Sheng bowed to the two men: "Your Highness Prince Xuan, Second Young Master Li."
Xie Xuan nodded in return, saying, "Lord Xu."
Li Yuanmu simply returned the greeting with clasped hands, without saying a word.
Yun Chuwei said, "Second Young Master, this is Xu Sheng, the Minister of Justice. If you have any problems in the future, you can go to Minister Xu. I have already asked Minister Xu to find two people familiar with the capital to act as your guides. It's up to you whether you need them!"
Xu Sheng also spoke up, "If the Second Young Master needs it, I will have someone report to the Second Young Master tomorrow."
Li Yuanmu wasn't ungrateful; he naturally knew this was a good thing.
So he said respectfully, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Xu!"
Xu Sheng smiled and said, "No problem, no problem. But, regarding the guide's payment... shall it be settled by Miss or Young Master Li...?"
Li Yuanmu almost instinctively replied, "Of course it's me!"
After Li Yuanmu finished speaking, he noticed that everyone was looking at him with smiles.
Li Yuanmu: ……
Why did he feel that none of these people had considered letting Yun Chuwei settle the accounts?
How should I put it?
There was nothing wrong with that in the first place.
But he felt like he had been tricked.
