The sound of Lu Qiongshuang's argument came: "My cousin is talking in the palace, how can I allow you, a minister of another country, to intrude? Didn't Master teach you -"

Her voice broke off.

"It seems like she was punished by her senior brother again." Jiang Xue said calmly while taking a sip of tea.

Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Xue, and Jiang Xue said coldly: "Second Emperor Brother, tell Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."

"I also ask the emperor to go and attend to the palace banquet first. Regarding Xiao Qi, I want to talk to him alone."

Jiang Yu nodded and said, "If you can ask, just ask. If he refuses to tell, you don't have to be too condescending."

Jiang Xue said: "Brother, don't worry, I look at his appearance and wish I could ask."

The door of the side hall was pushed open, and a man dressed in purple appeared at the door, with a cold light shining on the mask on his face.

"It's a pity that I disturbed the conversation between the two brothers and sisters." Jing Ye said, "I just didn't know that the second prince, as a guest greeter, didn't accompany the orphan, but instead came to talk to his sister behind closed doors. This is What is the way of hospitality in Ji country?"

Jiang Xue and Jiang Yu both stood up at the same time. Before Jiang Yu could speak, Jiang Xue stopped in front.

"I thought that Your Majesty did not need an envoy to welcome guests. After all, with His Majesty's behavior today, I am afraid that He has already visited the Imperial Palace of Ji Kingdom by himself? Now I am walking around in front of My Majesty again - why, the Prince Consort can't accompany me? Thoughtful? Let the prince find the way by himself."

Jing Ye sneered and said: "That good husband of yours - he doesn't look very good in his eyes. He always loses the guests after entertaining them again and again. I wonder if he has eaten too much soft food and is not very neat in his actions. "

Jiang Xue laughed out loud. No matter how Jing Ye rounded Gu Lintan, flattened her and ridiculed her, she was always in a good mood.

"When I turn around, I will tell my father that the consort has not treated me well and has made the prince unhappy. He is imitating women's gossip."

Jiang Xue turned to Jiang Yufu and said, "Second Emperor Brother, you still need to take care of the main hall. I can just entertain the distinguished guests for Second Emperor Brother first."

Jiang Yu nodded, with a warning in his voice, and said: "This is the country of Hebei after all, so you can rest assured to entertain us."

Jiang Xue nodded and watched Jiang Yu leave.

When Jiang Yu walked to Jing Ye, he whispered: "My lord, you'd better respect yourself."

"Of course, as long as the one at the door doesn't bother you all the time."

Jiang Yu walked past him, left the side hall, and untied Lu Qiong's acupuncture points.

"Stay guard outside this door, don't go in and disturb." Jiang Yu whispered, "Listen carefully to the sound. If anything happens -"

Lu Qiongshuang nodded.

Jing Ye laughed a few times, turned around and closed the door.

He looked at the empty teacup on the table and asked, "Since Princess Changle wants to entertain, she doesn't necessarily know how to serve tea, right?"

Jiang Xue ignored him and sat down on her own, lowered her head to play with the tea cup and said, "Don't you have hands, Your Majesty? Here, I am not only the master, but also the king. Since Your Majesty has paid my respects to me and paid my respects to you, Isn’t it reasonable?”

Jing Ye approached Jiang Xue, grabbed her chin and lifted it.

"Jiang Xue, you are getting more and more courageous."

Jiang Xue was frightened by his sudden action for a moment, and said angrily: "You are so presumptuous!"

Jing Ye smiled.

He slowly let go, sat opposite Jiang Xue, raised his hand to pour two cups of tea, pushed one cup in front of Jiang Xue, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm using tea instead of wine."

Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows because of his frivolous behavior. She suddenly thought of something and said, "More and more? It seems like the prince has known me before."

Jing Ye sneered and said, "I don't have that kind of luck. If I had met the princess earlier, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive sitting here right now."

Jiang Xuedao: "Your Majesty doesn't know, so what does Shicai's words mean?"

"Don't Your Highness know the importance he holds in Xiao Qi's heart?" Jing Ye said, his expression unclear under the mask.

"Xiao Qi has mentioned you to Gu Gu many times."

Jiang Xue was silent.

"Gu is very curious. If Xiao Qi is lucky, it is not Gu but Xiao Qi who is here today - I wonder what the princess thinks when she sees him? I don't know what he thinks when he sees the married princess."

Jiang Xue still didn't speak.

"Why, after all, he is his former lover. Isn't the princess even willing to mention him?"

Jiang Xue's voice was as cold as ice and said: "Your Majesty, you should be glad that his life was short. If I can still see him today -"

"I will definitely eat his flesh and drink his blood, leaving him with no way to survive and no way to die."

Jing Ye's hand holding the cup unconsciously tightened until it shattered.

Jiang Xue sarcastically said: "What? The prince can't hear this?"

"I just find it strange that Princess Changle is not at all curious about the cause of his death?" Jing Ye asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Xue said: "Not interested."

After all, she knew the cause of Xiao Qi's death very well.

"This Xiao Qi is really pitiful. In a foreign country, he thought he had found a good partner, but he turned out to be the biggest betrayer in the world. The land where he thought he was born and raised turned out to be his tomb." Jing Ye shook his head and sighed: "Who would have thought that the person who sent him to hell would be his biological father."

"What?" Jiang Xue was stunned.

Jing Ye smiled and said, "Princess, you still said you're not interested?"

Jiang Xuedao: "You mean, King An also attacked him?"

Jing Ye's eyes darkened slightly and he said, "Yeah?"

"It seems that Princess Changle has many secrets."

Jiang Xue stood up and walked to the window, lowered her head, trying to hide the pain on her face.

"As far as I know, Xiao Qi did something to disobey King An in Ji that day - King An was afraid of leaving evidence, so he poisoned him as soon as he arrived in Qingzhou." Jing Ye tried, "Princess I’m really curious, what did he do?”

Jiang Xue's fingers clenched tighter and tighter until they turned white.

The palace servant who poisoned the eldest brother that day had a letter from King Qian Guoan found on his body.

Could it be...

Jiang Xue didn't dare to think deeply.

She turned back and stared at Xiao Qi fiercely and said, "Go on."

Seeing her stern but hesitant expression, Jing Ye suddenly smiled happily.

"The princess is interested now?" he said lightly, "but I don't want to say anything anymore."

He walked towards Jiang Xue and trapped her firmly between his body and the window lattice.

The man's breath hit her face. Jiang Xue frowned and wanted to escape. Jing Ye stretched out his hand to hold on the window lattice.

"Princess, will you believe it now if you didn't believe it many years ago? Is the truth really important to the princess now?"

"It's about my brother," Jiang Xue said hoarsely, her eyes red, "How could it not be important!"

"That's it," Jing Ye lowered his hand and turned around, "That's it."

"What a confused wretch," he mocked, his voice breaking. "He thought that his death would be a knot in the princess's mind that she couldn't let go of. It turns out that the princess really doesn't care about him at all."

Jiang Xue raised her eyes and glared at him angrily, with tears in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and raised her face to prevent the tears from falling.

After a moment, she said: "Did he ask you to ask me?"

Jing Ye turned to look at her, his eyes full of hatred.

"Is it important?"

He started to walk away, but Jiang Xue grabbed his sleeve.

She took a deep breath and said, "It's important. Not only because it concerns my brother, but also because it concerns one person's innocence."

Jing Ye sarcastically said, "Really? But I don't want to talk about it anymore. How about the princess begging for help? Maybe I can show my kindness."

Jiang Xue lowered her head and said, "You can make conditions."

Jing Ye's eyes flashed with depression, but immediately turned playful.

"Princess Changle, do you think Ruogu would agree to a marriage proposal from your Emperor Daji to form an in-law family?"
