Jiang Xueli jumped down from Lu Qiong's arms, looked up at the person standing not far away, and said with a smile:

"What a coincidence, the prince is also here to climb over the wall?"

Lu Qiongshuang was originally pulling Jiang Xue to leave, but when she heard these words, she suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction where she was speaking.

"Jing——" Lu Qiongshuang almost shouted, but then she stopped and whispered: "Senior brother..."

Jing Ye glanced at her lightly, then looked away at Jiang Xue.

"boarding."

Only then did Jiang Xue and Lu Qiongshuang notice that there was a black carriage behind him.

Lu Qiongshuang didn't understand why Jing Ye appeared here, or whether he was calling Jiang Xue or herself.

He could only stand there hesitantly, stretched out his hand to scratch his head, and looked at Jiang Xue with a confused expression.

Jiang Xue lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay."

Then he took Lu Qiongshuang's hand and walked towards the carriage together.

Jiang Xue walked up to Jing Ye, raised her head and said with a smile, "My cousin and I happened to be going out. Since the prince has a carriage and horses, it would be disrespectful to refuse."

Jing Ye didn't say anything, he just stepped slightly out of the way and motioned for them to get in the car.

Jiang Xue then didn't stop any longer and pulled Lu Qiongshuang directly onto the carriage.

There were two guards in purple clothes and black armor in front of the car. They respectfully placed the horse stool for Jiang Xue and stood aside quietly, waiting for the two of them to get on the car.

Monk Lu Qiong Shuangzhang was confused. He was looking at Jiang Xue in confusion and said, "Cousin, when did you become so familiar with him? Judging from this battle, he came to pick you up in person?"

Jiang Xue shook her head and said: "No. I did have something to look for him today, but I don't know why he appeared here. Don't talk too much later, just wait and see what happens. Whatever I say, you will nod in agreement. That’s it.”

Lu Qiongshuang gave a soft "hmm", then closed her mouth obediently and sat upright.

Not long after, Jing Ye opened the car door and came in. He looked at Lu Qiongshuang sitting on the right and said calmly: "Go out and ride the horse."

Lu Qiong's eyebrows suddenly stood up, and she said angrily: "Why are you instructing me?! Aren't you two coachmen standing outside?"

Jing Ye just leaned against the car door, his eyes as heavy as water, and he said coldly: "Either get out by yourself, or I'll throw you out alone."

Jiang Xue couldn't help but smile when she saw the two of them at war with each other. She spoke warmly to persuade Lu Qiong and said:

"Okay, you go outside and show them the way, otherwise how would they know where they are going?"

Lu Qiongshuang said in surprise: "How is this possible? How can I put my cousin in a room alone with him?"

Jiang Xue took a deep look at Jing Ye, then turned to Lu Qiongshuang and said, "Don't worry, the prince is not an outsider."

Lu Qiongshuang's almond-shaped eyes widened in shock.

She hasn't been with her cousin for a few days, so why is Jing Ye no longer an outsider?

If he is not an outsider, who is he?

She stared at the two of them dumbfounded, speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Jiang Xue reached out and patted the back of her hand gently and said, "Go quickly, the prince and I still have something to say."

Lu Qiongshuang had no choice but to stand up and walk out of the car angrily, not forgetting to give Jing Ye a hard look.

Jing Ye turned a blind eye, and when Lu Qiong stepped out, he reached out and closed the car door with a snap.

Jing Ye's carriage was spacious, Jiang Xue sat in the middle, and there were two rows of dark purple velvet cushions on both sides, which was enough for seven or eight people.

Jiang Xue thought Jing Ye would sit on one side, but she didn't want him to step over with his long legs and sit directly next to her.

Jiang Xue was speechless and asked: "My lord, don't you think it's crowded?"

"Crowded?" Jing Ye turned around and looked over, with a smile in his voice, "You and I are not outsiders, why do we find it so crowded?"

Jiang Xue smiled, and then moved to the seat on the right side quietly.

"Why did the prince come here?"

"where are you going?"

The two spoke almost at the same time.

Jiang Xue was embarrassed for a moment and said: "Then - Your Majesty, let's talk first."

Jing Ye glanced at her, sneered, and said, "Didn't you ask Banban to send a message to Gu?"

"Uh..." Jiang Xue said, "I thought the prince would come at night, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. But how did the prince know that I was here in Qiong Shuang?"

"I came to your house alone and saw that you were not there. I will find out if I ask."

"Ask?" Jiang Xue asked suspiciously.

Who asked? No one in her courtyard would tell him directly where she was going.

"Do you have eyes and ears in the Gu Mansion?" Jiang Xue was sure.

"Is it difficult to put someone under the control of a fool like Gu Lintan?" Jing Ye said casually, "I'm not in your courtyard, so what are you worried about?"

"My servants only know that I'm here from the Prime Minister's Mansion. How did you know you were waiting for me here?"

Could it be that he still had the foreknowledge that she would not go through the gate, but would only jump over the courtyard wall?

"I probably know why you came here," Jing Ye said lazily, "It's just for the marriage between Chonghuan's son and that stupid girl. There is a small building not far from here, and you can see her from the pavilion. That courtyard."

"So you keep staring at us?" Jiang Xue was surprised. Why is Jing Ye, the regent, so idle?

"You guys came out as soon as we arrived." Jing Ye said, "It's not so boring to be alone."

Jiang Xue thought to herself, why do I not believe it so much.

She smiled hypocritically and said: "It seems that we are really destined to meet the prince. We met the prince just after we left the courtyard wall. I am really ashamed that I bothered the prince to give us a ride."

Jing Ye said calmly: "Since we are destined, why sit so far away? Are you ashamed? Then tell me everything you plan to do, and don't lie to me."

Jiang Xue's thoughts swirled for a few times, then she pointed at the car door and said, "For Qiong Shuang, we have to meet someone."

Jing Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are you meeting? Chonghuan or his son?"

"No," Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "Actually, I don't know. Qiong Shuang only said he was a friend of hers, a friend in the world."

She looked at Jing Ye and said with a smile: "You must know that the prince knows that people come and go without a trace in the world, and they don't want others to know the reasons why."

Jing Ye said bluntly: "I don't understand. What are you doing seeing this man?"

Jiang Xue resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said, "Find someone to help Qiong Shuang escape from the marriage."

Jing Ye sneered and said, "It's not certain whether this marriage can be negotiated, but now you will help her come up with such a bad idea?"

Jiang Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved her hands repeatedly, saying: "Who said this was my idea? Why don't you go out and ask your junior sister if I advocated this matter. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to find someone else. Go and beat up those young talents who are included in the marriage proposal."

Jing Ye glanced at Jiang Xue meaningfully and said, "Whether it's a bad idea or not, I feel that——"

"Since she is Gu's junior sister, Gu also has a responsibility."

"Then I will accompany you for a walk to see if this person is trustworthy."

Lu Qiongshuang, who was sitting bored outside the car door, suddenly shuddered.
