The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy
Chapter 139 Invitation from Ningguo Mansion
Seeing what was written in the secret letter, Lu Xiaoxiao found it strange that the Princess of Yan was already planning a second rescue of Shi Weian. She swallowed the medicine in her mouth and took a bite of the osmanthus cake. Her cheeks were puffed up with food, and she looked cute.
Xie Xi looked at her softly, with a faint smile on his lips: "Eat slowly."
"Well, Your Highness, I'm a little confused. The Princess of Yan and Shi Weian haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and Shi Weian has married another wife in Jiangning. Why is the Princess of Yan still thinking about Shi Weian so much?"
"I traveled thousands of miles from Yan State to Shengjing, Li State, just to rescue Shi Wei'an..."
Lu Xiaoxiao really couldn't understand the Princess of Yan's persistence and didn't understand what she was thinking.
[Is the Princess of Yan a love-brained person? ? ?]
wrong.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Lu Xiaoxiao quickly denied it.
[I have heard Your Highness mention before that there are countless male favorites in the Princess of Yan's mansion, and each of them is extremely handsome.
If she was really in love and only devoted to Shi Wei'an, she shouldn't have accepted a male lover. 】
Listening to Lu Xiaoxiao's confusion, Xie Xi smiled faintly and said gently, "Want to know why?"
"Mmmmmmm!"
Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, she stared straight at Xie Xi and curved her eyes: "I want to know!"
Now that she has not been able to meet the Princess of Yan, she naturally has not been able to find out anything about the Princess of Yan. Unless she uses points to buy information, she can only ask the prince to solve her doubts now.
Xie Xi looked at her and couldn't help but raised his hand to rub her head. "The Princess of Yan State lives in Luoyang Inn. Did you know?"
"Huh? There is such a coincidence?"
Lu Xiaoxiao was shocked. If His Highness hadn't told her, she really wouldn't have known that the Princess of Yan had moved to His Highness's territory!
"Then this secret letter was sent by someone from Luoyang Inn?"
Xie Xi: "Xiaoxiao is really smart."
“That’s not hard to guess.”
[But this is also good. The Princess of Yan State doesn't know that Luoyang Inn belongs to His Highness. When they are talking, it is naturally impossible for her to be on guard against the people in the inn all the time. However, His Highness can receive the news in time and know what they want to do.]
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxiao really had to admire His Highness's luck.
Xie Xi couldn't help laughing. He clenched his fist and coughed softly, then continued, "The people in the inn overheard a piece of news from the Princess of Yan, but we don't know whether it's true or not."
"But seeing that the Princess of Yan is determined to save Shi Weian, it seems that this news is somewhat true."
Lu Xiaoxiao's curiosity was immediately aroused, "Your Highness, can I know this news?"
"can."
Xie Xi tapped her forehead lightly and said with a smile, "I don't want to hide it from you."
Lu Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed, and she looked away uncomfortably, her soft voice lowered: "Then, then Your Highness, tell me."
"it is good."
Seeing that Lu Xiaoxiao seemed to be shy, Xie Xi's smile deepened, and he said slowly: "The Princess of Yan State guessed that Shi Weian still has a batch of gold hidden. I heard that the gold is twice as much as what I confiscated in the Governor's Mansion in Jiangning this time."
"The Princess of Yan wanted to rescue Shi Wei'an because she wanted to get the gold."
"No way, Shi Wei'an still has gold hidden?"
A look of surprise appeared on Lu Xiaoxiao's face. She frowned slightly and felt strange.
[That's not right. When I was still in Jiangning, I had already gone through all the information about Shi Wei'an. I was afraid that I might have missed something and it would cause trouble for His Highness.]
[At that time, Shi Wei'an hid two batches of gold, one in a cave outside the city, and the other in a secret room in his study in his mansion...]
[Could it be that the system couldn't find it either? ]
Thinking about it, Lu Xiaoxiao quickly used her consciousness to browse the system's information again, and checked the information about Shi Weian again——
Regarding Shi Weian's hiding of gold, she looked very carefully and found that there was no third batch of gold at all.
Lu Xiaoxiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
[If the Princess of Yan really came for Shi Wei'an's gold, then she would be in vain.]
"I originally thought that the Princess of Yan would care much about Shi Wei'an, but it turns out it's all for the gold."
Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said with a smile: "However, she can only daydream. The emperor will not let Shi Weian out, right?"
Xie Xi nodded: "Father had no intention of letting Shi Wei'an go. The reason why he has not ordered his execution is because of the arrival of the Princess of Yan. Father does not know what she wants to do, so he is just waiting and watching."
However, when the court was dismissed today, the emperor did mention to him that he wanted to make a deal with the Princess of Yan State...
Lu Xiaoxiao: "No matter what the Princess of Yan wants to do, she won't get what she wants."
Xie Xi: "Yeah, Xiaoxiao is right."
"The people I have arranged will keep an eye on them. No matter what they are planning, I will know it in time."
Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, followed by Bai Zhi's voice: "Master, the concubine is here."
Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at Xie Xi: "The concubine is here."
Xie Xi: “…”
Xie Xi looked at her helplessly and said, "Don't you remember what I said to you before?"
"remember."
Thinking of what His Highness had said to her, Lu Xiaoxiao's face turned red again. She patted her face lightly, a little helplessly, as if that could dissipate some of the heat.
As a result, after just one pat, her hand was held by Xie Xi: "If I'm here, you'll feel uncomfortable, so why don't I hide aside first?"
Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned. "Is it really possible?"
Xie Xi didn't say anything for a while, but there was a hint of grievance in his eyes. He just stared at Lu Xiaoxiao with an expression that said "I'll listen to you in everything."
Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”
My heart has softened, so where would I let him hide? It's not like he's going to be ashamed.
Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, then suddenly leaned forward, quickly kissed Xie Xi on the face, and then retreated. She cleared her throat and shouted, "Bai Zhi, let the concubine come in quickly."
Xie Xi, who was sitting next to him, was stunned. He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face. He curled his lips and smiled silently.
Lu Xiaoxin's heartbeat was pounding and her eyes were wandering around, but she didn't dare to look at Xie Xi.
Xie Xi pretended not to know her discomfort and held her hand gently.
At this time, the door was opened.
Bai Zhi's voice came: "My Lady Concubine, please come in."
"Is Miss Lu's injury better?"
Xiao Shuyi walked in with Qingcong. She was not surprised to see the Crown Prince was there too.
Ever since Lu Xiaoxiao blocked the arrow for His Highness, he has been staying in the main room in the front yard to recuperate. He is closest to His Highness the Crown Prince, so it is not surprising that His Highness the Crown Prince is here.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Shuyi lowered her head and bowed respectfully towards Xie Xi.
Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”
[I almost forgot, I can't lie on the couch anymore, I have to greet the concubine, I can't lose my manners.]
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxiao quickly lifted the quilt and was about to stand up to pay her respects to Concubine Xiao.
"do not move!"
"Don't move!"
"???"
Two voices sounded at the same time. Lu Xiaoxiao looked down and saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Xiao simultaneously stretched out their hands to press down the quilt covering themselves.
Lu Xiaoxiao was a little confused.
Xie Xi: “…”
Xiao Shuyi: "..."
The original intention of both of them was just to not let Lu Xiaoxiao get up, and they didn't expect that they would be so synchronized.
Xiao Shuyi was the first to speak up, breaking the silence in the room. She smiled and said, "Sister Lu is still injured, so there's no need to bother."
"But……"
"Don't say but. I have always regarded you as my younger sister. When an elder sister comes to visit her younger sister, there is no need to worry about those etiquettes."
She didn't care much anyway.
Sister Lu is now the apple of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eye. She didn't dare to accept Lu Xiaoxiao's gift, for fear that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would glare at her.
Moreover, Lu Xiaoxiao is no longer Fengyi, but Liangyuan. This news has already spread throughout the Prince's Mansion.
When Xiao Shuyi confirmed this from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince two days ago, she inexplicably felt that Lu Xiaoxiao was finally going to be promoted. At that time, she wondered in her heart whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would leave the position of Crown Princess to Lu Xiaoxiao...
"OK then."
Since Concubine Xiao said so, Lu Xiaoxiao lay back down with peace of mind.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then glanced at Xie Xi quietly before saying, "I wonder why the Concubine is coming here this time..."
"In a few days, the Ningguo Mansion will hold a flower viewing banquet. The invitation has been sent, but the invitation specifically invites Sister Lu, so I came here to tell Sister Lu."
Afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Xiao Shuyi took out the invitation sent by the Ningguo Mansion, handed it to Lu Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile, "Take a look."
Lu Xiaoxiao reached out to take it. She opened the post and took a look. Just as Concubine Xiao said, the Ningguo Mansion had indeed invited her to the flower-viewing banquet.
"But why did the Ningguo Mansion invite me to go with them?"
Hearing this, Xiao Shuyi covered her lips and chuckled, "Why not?"
"Sister Lu, you don't know that the old lady of Duke Ning once praised Sister Lu for being kind and having a very good temper. Maybe it was because of this that I thought of Sister Lu when I posted the invitation."
"Huh? Is there such a thing?"
Lu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
She really didn't know that the old lady of Duke Ningguo had praised her!
[I was only unconscious for two days, but now that I hear what the Concubine said, I feel like I was unconscious for several years? ]
[News in the capital spread so quickly, and I was the only one who didn't know anything.]
Xiao Shuyi: "Sister Lu, don't worry too much. Just take good care of your injuries first. The flower viewing banquet will be in seven days. If Sister Lu's injuries are fully healed by then, come with me to the Ningguo Mansion."
Then Xiao Shuyi added: "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Xie Xi had no objection: "Well, wait until her injury is healed before going."
Since His Highness had agreed, Lu Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn't refuse: "Okay."
Xiao Shuyi just came over to tell Lu Xiaoxiao about the Ningguo Mansion and asked about how her wounds were recovering. Not long after, Xiao Shuyi left the room with Qingcong.
What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's presence was too strong, so she didn't dare to stay any longer.
Looking at Concubine Xiao's departing back, Lu Xiaoxiao sighed: "The Concubine is quite nice. At first, I thought she had a bad temper, but now it seems that she is quite gentle..."
"If she had a bad temper, I would not have allowed her to take up a position in the Prince's Mansion."
Xie Xi said slowly: "When your injury is healed, if you are bored, you can go find Xiao Shuyi to play."
"Well, I will."
She had been on guard against Concubine Xiao before, but now it was different. Concubine Xiao had no romantic feelings for His Highness, so naturally she wouldn't find her an eyesore, and Concubine Xiao would certainly not think of taking action against her.
All in all, Lu Xiaoxiao felt relieved.
"By the way, Your Highness, have you found out everything about the assassination that day?"
She only knew that the assassins in the gold shop that day were sent by Concubine Shu and the eldest prince to kidnap her.
I guess those people didn't expect that she would be so uncooperative.
Xie Xi stroked her hair and said in a gentle voice, "We have only found Concubine Shu. As for the archers, we are still investigating. But we can find out that the bows and arrows seem to be from the State of Yan."
"Yan State?"
Lu Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Why did Yan State attack His Highness?"
Xie Xi shook his head: "I haven't found out yet, I don't know what the other party's intention is."
Lu Xiaoxiao sighed: "Then just wait a little longer, we will find out eventually."
The main reason was that it was not displayed on the system, and Lu Xiaoxiao didn’t know where those archers came from.
Xie Xi hummed softly, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoxiao, there won't be a next time."
"I'm not afraid."
Lu Xiaoxiao: "But does His Majesty know about this? Will Concubine Shu and the eldest prince be punished?"
"Originally, I wanted to explain this to my father, but he has also sent people to investigate this matter. He also knows that the assassins in the gold shop were conspired by Concubine Shu and my eldest brother. As for..."
Xie Xi paused, a helpless look on his face: "The court and the harem have always been closely related. Even if the emperor wants to punish Concubine Shu and my eldest brother, he can only do it slowly."
Lu Xiaoxin felt sorry for him: "Then... this time, neither Concubine Shu nor the eldest prince will be punished?"
"Not at all."
Seeing Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes reddened, as if she was about to cry, Xie Xi felt distressed, and hurriedly explained to her: "Father is already looking for an opportunity, and I will not let you suffer in vain. Father will take action against them only when the time is right."
"I'm not the one who's been wronged."
Lu Xiaoxiao reached out her hand and hugged Xie Xi. Even though she didn't pay attention and hurt the wound, she didn't care and pretended that it didn't hurt. She said, "Your Highness is so good, he shouldn't have encountered this."
"don’t worry."
Xie Xi also reached out and hugged her, his chin gently resting on her shoulder. He smelled the faint medicinal fragrance coming from her body, and his whole heart softened into a pool of water. He whispered, "Father has always been sensible and is on my side."
Lu Xiaoxiao said in a muffled voice: "Really?"
Xie Xi: “Yeah.”
As for the punishment of Concubine Shu and the eldest brother, the emperor has his own ideas, so he doesn't need to do anything else.
But now seeing Lu Xiaoxiao almost crying because of this, Xie Xi felt distressed. He felt that he should create some trouble for Concubine Shu and his elder brother...
