You break off my engagement and I dig your ancestral graves

"How was my performance just now?"

After leaving the gate of Duke Wei's Mansion, Xiyun asked the guard beside her, and did not forget to wipe the hypocritical tears from the corners of her eyes.

She hasn't been to the Duke of Wei's Mansion for many years, and she doesn't know if her acting skills have improved. Now that her royal brother is not in Yecheng, no one is willing to sing along with her.

It's inevitable that it's a bit disappointing.

The guard twitched his lips and said awkwardly, "It's a bit over the top."

"Really?" Xiyun was skeptical. She was quite confident in her acting skills. After all, she had been dealing with the old witch for so long.

The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is imminent. With her personality, she will definitely cause trouble on such an important occasion. If I don't make adequate preparations in advance, it will be too late when she sees through me.

The Crown Prince is the heir to a country, and it is a big deal for him to leave Yecheng at will.

It is best to return safely, but if something unexpected happens, who can afford it?

Xiyun jumped back on the horse and returned to the palace with a heavy heart. She had to say hello to her mother to avoid exposing her tracks.

The wind and snow in Yecheng have not stopped yet, and it looks like it will last until February.

The sun came out for a few days a few days ago, and I thought the ice and snow would melt, but who would have thought that it would snow again.

Xiao Su returned to Yecheng on a snowy night. His black fox fur coat was covered with white snow. When he saw the person coming, Tang Yang was so excited that he almost staggered.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, you're back? Are you doing well outside? Are you not hungry?" Tang Yang staggered forward and kept asking.

This is the first time that His Highness has traveled far away, and he has not brought any guards with him. This favored son of heaven must have suffered a lot outside.

Xiao Su glanced at him and asked, "Do you really want me to suffer?"

This familiar tone made Tang Yang sniff excitedly, and he pleaded, fearing that he was dreaming, "Your Highness, please stop scolding me."

"Tang Yang, stop asking for trouble. The person in front of you is indeed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He is back."

Wu Xu came out of the study upon hearing the noise. He seldom wore a human skin mask at night. The prince's face did have the power to captivate everyone, but it was not his own face after all. He felt scared after looking at it for a long time.

Not everyone deserves this face.

Xiao Su was chilled all over. He looked at him respectfully bowing and nodded, then went into the study with him. Tang Yang immediately went to order the kitchen to prepare some warm supper and brought it over, and then sent several pots of charcoal fire into the house.

"Your Highness, this trip took a long time, and I almost couldn't hide it. Fortunately, I got away without any danger. It's just... I was incompetent, and Princess Xiyun still saw the flaw." Wu Xu shook his head in shame.

Xiao Su was not surprised by this. "She is my sister, born of the same mother as me. How could you possibly deceive her?"

"I have read the news sent back by Your Highness, and have already sent people to stop the spread of the news. However... there are bound to be some that slip through the net." Wu Xu frowned as he mentioned what he had told him.

He didn't even tell Tang Yang about this.

Princess Chaoxi's current identity is really embarrassing. She has suddenly turned from the descendant of a loyal minister to the daughter of a traitor. If it is revealed, she will surely die.

"Then just kill these fish one by one." Xiao Su lowered his eyes, his emotions were complicated and difficult to discern, and his words were colder than the ice and snow outside the window.

Wu Xu frowned and bowed heavily, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Princess Chaoxi had done him a favor, and he didn't want to see her die in vain.

But I really have no power to help with this matter.

If the prince is willing to help, Princess Chaoxi can live her life without worries.

Keep this secret forever.
