I was kicked out of the house and became a princess.

Qiao Xiyue hadn't come for a few days, which made Ma Xin a little confused, wondering if he had made her angry.

"Are you waiting for Qiao Xiyue?"

Yingying came back from outside and saw Ma Xin sitting alone in the imperial garden, and asked softly.

"Ah."

Ma Xin nodded.

"Do you think she is angry with me?"

"I probably won't be angry with you, but the next time you meet, your relationship won't be as good as before."

Yingying sat opposite Ma Xin, without the little fire fox lion in her arms, and said softly.

"???Why?"

Ma Xin became even more confused, not knowing what Yingying meant.

"Remember the person we met last time we went out?"

"You mean Qiao Dong?"

Ma Xin thought about it for a moment. He still remembered that he met Qiao Dong and Jiang Yun. Qiao Dong also wanted to go to Qiao's house and sit there.

"Correct."

Yingying nodded.

"He provoked Father and was punished? That won't affect my relationship with her."

"If he was still alive, it really wouldn't have affected it."

"What do you mean?"

Ma Xin finally reacted, with a surprised look on his face.

"Qiao Dong proposed to the court a few days ago that he wanted Uncle Markbas to elect the crown princess for you. Uncle Markbas angered him and he was killed on the spot. Jiang Yun from Qiao's residence also took Qiao Xiyue with him overnight. He left Qiao Mansion and disappeared."

Yingying whispered what she knew.

"This is a normal thing. Why did my father want to kill him?"

Ma Xin really couldn't think of a reason for Mark Bas to kill Qiao Dong, and he was even more sad because he had lost a friend like Qiao Xiyue.

"Can't you see? What does Qiao Dong want to do?"

Yingying continued to ask.

"He just wants to bring me and Qiao Xiyue together!"

Ma Xin was a little excited.

"He wants to put the Qiao family in power through you, and then control Xinyan City through you."

Yingying whispered Qiao Dong's intention.

"How did you know?"

Ma Xin was stunned.

"You live deep in the temple now, and you know nothing about the overt and secret struggles of powerful families. And she, Qiao Xiyue, is the most talented woman in the Xinyan Empire. She is also on good terms with you. In his opinion, as long as he brings you together, he can Through your relationship, step by step, let the Qiao family secure its position as the first family in Xinyan City. The next step is to use you to let the Qiao family take the position, and then control Xinyan City and seize power from Uncle Markbas. .”

Yingying patiently analyzed the pros and cons for him.

"So, it's my uselessness that makes my father so embarrassed, right?"

Ma Xin was a little disappointed and looked up at Yingying.

"You can understand it this way. If you understand these worldly things now, maybe Qiao Dong will not die. Qiao Xiyue may really get married to you. Uncle Mark Bass should also be very happy. After all, in his heart, you Whether he will be alone or accompanied by others in the future is something he has always been worried about."

Yingying sighed and looked into Ma Xin's eyes.

"Although Uncle Mark Bass has always been a little harsh on you, he has always been very concerned about you, including his desire to bring you and me together. For you, he did everything he could think of. Now, it's up to you, What you can grow into under his wings, an eagle or a chicken, depends on you."

After Yingying said that, she got up and left the Imperial Garden, leaving him alone to sit in the Imperial Garden and think.

into the night.

Ma Xin walked out of the room, looked at Yingying's room from a distance, and found that the lights were not turned off.

"Perhaps the difference between me and her is not just in cultivation."

"Your Majesty, it's already late at night, go back and rest."

The maid stood beside Mark Bass. Seeing that it was getting late, she spoke to persuade him.

Mark Bass ignored him and was still watching the memorial quietly, writing and drawing on it from time to time.

"My son, I will meet my father."

Ma Xin walked to the door and bowed to Mark Bas.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

The maid next to Mark Bass also saluted.

"You guys go down first."

Ma Xin walked in and waved to the maid.

"Yes."

The maid didn't dare to stay any longer and walked out quickly, closing the door behind her.

"Tell me, why do you come to me if you don't sleep so late?"

Mark Bass did not look at him, but was still approving the memorial.

"Father, I can go through the second trial alone. There is no need for Yingying to come with me."

Ma Xin hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"Oh? Did you have a fight?"

Mark Bass put down the memorial in his hand and looked at him with some doubts.

"No, I just feel that I have always failed to live up to my expectations and my father has always bothered to pave the way for me, so there are some things I want to do alone."

Ma Xin tried his best to calm down and speak clearly.

"But I am your father. It is my duty to pave the way for you and take care of you, isn't it?"

Mark Bass rubbed his little head.

"But……"

Ma Xin wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Mark Bass.

"If you really want to prove yourself, let me see your progress when you come back from the trial instead of showing off here. The reason why I want niece Yingying to go with you is because I'm afraid that you will be alone. There are some things you can't handle outside, and you can learn from her when the time comes."

Mark Bass understood what Ma Xin was thinking, but in his eyes, Ma Xin was still a child, and the clan struggle was extremely complicated. If Ma Xin were to face it alone now, he might really be bruised and bruised.

"Of course, I also hope that what I see when I come back is a spirited young man, not the still childish little boy."

"I know what my father means, but I still want to go alone."

Mark Bass looked at the little boy with a somewhat determined face in front of him, and for the first time he felt that Ma Xin could really break away from his protection and go out to explore.

"Since you have such a firm request, then go ahead and carve out a world by yourself and prove it to me!"

No matter how reluctant Mark Bass was, he had no choice but to agree to him at this time.

"I will definitely impress my father!"

"Okay, I'll wait!"

In the clean and tidy room, Yingmeng sat quietly on the bed and looked at the little guy at the table who was reading seriously.

"Ying'er, it's late at night, let's rest."

"I'll be back later."

Yingying said, turning over a page with her little hand, and continued to read carefully.

"What are you looking at?"

Yingmeng was a little curious.

"Record of Rare and Rare Beasts."

Yingying replied while looking at it.

"What are you doing looking at this?"

Yingmeng was a little strange.

"We are going to the Xinsheng Empire in a few days. The vegetation in the Xinsheng Empire is much larger than where people live, and there are countless rare and exotic animals. Maybe they can come in handy then."

Yingying put down the book in her hand and smiled sweetly at Yingmeng.
