The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

Sensing Lu Xiaoxiao's burning gaze, Xie Xi curled the corners of his lips, with a faint smile in his gentle eyes. He put the handkerchief back into the basin, pinched her cheek gently with his slender fingers, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking about?"

"I--"

Lu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses immediately. She swallowed and quickly looked away, her heart pounding. "I didn't think of anything!"

"is it?"

Xie Xi chuckled, his eyes wandering across her face, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Why do I always feel like Xiaoxiao wants to eat—" Like me?

Lu Xiaoxiao quickly covered his lips, her cheeks flushed, and her bright almond eyes glared at him in shame and anger, "Your Highness! Stop talking nonsense!"

"I'm done washing up, Your Highness, let's go out now!"

Seeing Lu Xiaoxiao like a kitten with its fur standing on end, Xie Xi couldn't help laughing. He followed her words and held her hand. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"..."

Bai Zhi didn't know what the two masters were arguing about, so she silently stepped back a few steps and stayed far away.

Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at Bai Zhi and her face turned even redder when she saw her little move. She changed the subject uncomfortably: "Where did your highness go before? Why did you come back at this time?"

"I have some things to report to my father, and then I will go to the palace."

Xie Xi led Lu Xiaoxiao out of the room, and the meal was arranged in the pavilion in the courtyard.

The two of them walked towards the pavilion.

Bai Zhi and the other three received orders from His Highness and did not approach the pavilion.

Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to have his meal in Jingxiang Courtyard, the kitchen did not dare to delay at all, and with the butler watching from the side, the chefs used almost all of their skills and quickly prepared the dishes.

Afterwards, the butler personally brought people to deliver the meal.

The butler was standing outside the pavilion, waiting to serve food to His Highness.

Xie Xi raised his eyes to look at him, and said softly: "Butler, you don't have to stay here. You go and take care of the affairs of the mansion first. I will have Lu Liangyuan to accompany me."

Upon hearing this, the butler said respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness, I will take my leave."

Xie Xi nodded.

The butler bent his body and slowly retreated.

Before leaving, the housekeeper couldn't help but secretly glance at Lu Liangyuan who was leaning in the arms of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He felt an inexplicable sigh in his heart. It seemed that Lu Liangyuan was really liked by His Royal Highness. Even the concubine could not match her favor.

Lu Xiaoxiao had no idea what the housekeeper was thinking, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care. After all, the prince only had her in his heart!

"Your Highness, please try the roast chicken I brought back."

Lu Xiaoxiao sat next to Xie Xi, the two of them were very close and sticky.

Originally, Lu Xiaoxiao wanted to sit opposite him, but His Highness refused to let her go, so she could only sit next to him.

However, she felt warm inside that His Highness was so attached to her.

"it is good."

Xie Xi said with a smile.

The roast chickens in Zui Xiang Lou were all freshly baked. Lu Xiaoxiao brought them back in a lunch box. They were still a little warm, so she didn't send them to the big kitchen to heat them up.

Xie Xi picked up a piece of chicken and took a bite, then nodded thoughtfully. It was neither woody nor fishy, ​​and the flavor was well-controlled. The chicken must have been wrapped in lotus leaves and roasted together.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Lu Xiaoxiao staring at him expectantly. Xie Xi pursed his lips, a smile flashing in his eyes, "Well, it's really delicious."

Hearing His Highness' affirmation, Lu Xiaoxiao was immediately delighted. Her eyebrows curved and dimples appeared on her cheeks: "Yeah, I told you it was delicious!"

As she spoke, she kept picking up food for Xie Xi, "Your Highness, eat more!"

Looking at the full bowl of food in front of him, Xie Xi said helplessly, "Okay."

"Ok!"

Before returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao had just eaten in Zui Xiang Lou, but now seeing His Highness eating, she suddenly felt hungry again, so she ate with His Highness.

Half an hour later, the meals were taken away and replaced with snacks.

At this time, Guard Mu Qing also came back.

"Your Highness."

Mu Qing stepped forward and said with his head down, "The sudden breakdown of the carriage was not an accident. I found that there was a dead end on the side of the road. There were many messy footsteps in the alley. I guess someone must have been hiding there. But for some reason, those people disappeared later..."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao reacted immediately, with a look of shock on her face. She suddenly clenched Xie Xi's big hand and murmured, "Mu Qing, do you mean that someone deliberately damaged our carriage and ambushed us nearby, trying to capture us?"

Mu Qing said expressionlessly: "That's right."

Xie Xi was not surprised by what Mu Qing said.

He had already made this guess before, and Mu Qing's words now confirmed that his guess was correct.

His father's birthday was approaching, and all the surrounding countries would send envoys to the city. There must have been many unfamiliar faces in Shengjing. For a moment, Xie Xi was not sure who was trying to cause trouble in secret...

Xie Xi frowned and tapped the table with his fingers, "Mu Qing, send someone to keep an eye on the Princess of Yan. No matter what happens, they must report to me as soon as possible."

"Also, keep an eye on Yanzi Cloth Shop, and have Seventeen and Eighteen return to see me as soon as possible after completing their mission."

Mu Qing: "I'll do it right away."

Xie Xi: "Okay, go ahead."

Mu Qing turned around and strode away.

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Your Highness, are you doubting the Princess of Yan?"

Xie Xi hummed softly, "It's also very likely that it's not her."

"Xiaoxiao, if you are going to leave the house in the next few days, you must bring guards with you. When Seventeen and Eighteen come back, I will arrange for them to protect your safety."

My father’s birthday banquet is approaching, and all kinds of monsters will appear.

Perhaps, there are other countries secretly plotting against the State of Li and want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

"Okay, I remember."

Lu Xiaoxiao knew that he was worried about her. She lowered her head and played with his bony fingers, and said softly, "I've bought a lot of things today, and I don't want to go out again in the next few days."

"Besides, Your Highness, I met a very annoying person today!"

"Not only did she offend the concubine sister, but she also——"

At this point, Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and looked at Xie Xi with a wronged expression.

Being looked at like this by her, Xie Xi's heart softened into a pool of water. He lowered his head, held her cheeks with both hands, and said gently: "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

"Tell me about it? I will definitely vent my anger for you, okay?"

Lu Xiaoxiao complained to His Highness in a wronged tone: "She is a girl from the Luo family, the niece of Prime Minister Luo, Luo Furong."

"Not only did she laugh at me and my sister, she also wanted to slap my sister, and she kept saying that she would be the Crown Princess in the future..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xi's face suddenly turned cold: "It turns out that Miss Luo not only spread the rumor that I want to marry her as the crown prince, but also dared to bully you and Concubine Xiao. She is so bold! Does she think that Prime Minister Luo can cover for her!?"

Originally, Xie Xi wanted to let Luo Xiang handle the matter, so as not to lose Luo Xiang's face as soon as he took action. But now, after listening to Xiao Xiao's story, Xie Xi suddenly felt that the girl from the Luo family was really going too far and this matter could not be let go easily!

"Um……"

When it comes to Luo Xiang, Lu Xiaoxiao is a little worried again, "Your Highness, will Luo Xiang have any opinion on Your Highness because of this matter?"

"will not."

Xie Xi rubbed her head and said slowly, "Prime Minister Luo is an upright person who is dedicated to serving the royal family. He will not exclude me because of this matter."

"Similarly, this rumor was also spread by Miss Luo. I am the victim. Prime Minister Luo should feel guilty towards me."

"Right."

Lu Xiaoxiao felt that what His Highness said made sense, so she felt relieved. "But Your Highness, today I asked Miss Qingcong to slap Miss Luo ten times, and that can be considered as venting her anger. Your Highness does not need to embarrass her anymore, and let Prime Minister Luo handle this matter."

"If I'm not mistaken, Prime Minister Luo will certainly apologize to His Majesty during the morning court tomorrow."

Lu Xiaoxiao said with a solemn vow.

Xie Xi smiled, "I know you don't want me to confront Luo directly."

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded.

Xie Xi sighed inaudibly: "Okay, Xiaoxiao, don't worry about this. I know what to do."

Lu Xiaoxiao thought that he agreed to her words, so she didn't dwell on it any further.

-

On the other side, in Prime Minister Luo’s mansion.

Luo Furong didn't know that she had caused a big disaster. After being forcibly taken back to the mansion by the guards, she was still in a tantrum and smashed everything in the room to the ground like a madman.

Even the two maids who were responsible for serving her were beaten. They knelt trembling at the door of the room and shed tears silently.

Luo Fangfei was a smart person. After returning home, she did not stay in her room, but waited obediently in the lobby, waiting for Luo Xiang to come back.

At three quarters past the hour of You, Luo Xiang, filled with anger, hurried into the mansion.

Not long after leaving the palace, when he was halfway there, Luo Xiang met the guard sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who asked him to listen to the rumors in the city today and to discipline the girl in the mansion and not to indulge in wishful thinking in broad daylight.

When Luo Xianggang heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to curse, but the other party was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he could only suppress his anger temporarily.

But after he sent people to inquire about today's rumors, Prime Minister Luo almost vomited blood. He really didn't expect that the two nieces would be so arrogant and domineering. Not only did they speak wildly, but they even dared to hit the prince's concubine!

It's really arrogant!

Luo Xiang finally understood why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had sent someone to bring those words.

It turned out that it was all his niece who caused the trouble!

Because of this delay, Prime Minister Luo returned home a little late.

At this time, seeing Luo Fangfei in the lobby, Luo Xiang's face turned pale. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a crisp "bang" and Luo Fangfei knelt in front of him.

Luo Xiang was stunned for a moment, with a feeling of anger stuck in his throat, unable to go out.

Luo Fangfei's eyes turned red, and tears immediately fell. She knelt on the ground and cried, "Uncle, this is all Fangfei's fault. It's Fangfei's fault that I was useless and failed to keep an eye on my cousin. As a result, my cousin provoked the Crown Prince's concubine..."

"If uncle wants to punish someone, just punish Fangfei. Fangfei is willing to be punished for her cousin!"

Luo Xiang: “…”

Luo Xiang was in mixed mood.

Listening to his niece crying and wanting to take the blame all by herself, how could he bear to punish such a kind person?

What's more, according to the information obtained by his people, it was Furong who offended the prince's concubine in Qianshafang, and it was also Furong who dreamed of becoming the prince's consort. Fangfei even took a slap for Furong innocently. What did Fangfei do wrong?

Luo Xiang, who originally wanted to have his two nieces punished together, immediately changed his mind. He turned his head away and ignored Luo Fangfei. Instead, he ordered two maids to bring Luo Furong out.

Hearing this, Luo Fangfei's eyes flashed, and she choked up and said, "Uncle, this has nothing to do with my cousin. Please punish Fangfei alone!"

Luo Xiang sighed lightly. He was about to scold her with a stern face, but he couldn't bear it, so he said, "You, you are too soft-hearted. You take all the blame on yourself."

"Uncle knows that you can't be blamed for what happened today. Furong has always been spoiled. You can't persuade her to do what she wants to do. It was her fault. You don't have to cover up for her anymore."

Luo Xiang waved his hand at her, signaling her to get up and leave: "Uncle won't punish you, you can go back to your room first, you don't have to kneel here."

"No! Uncle, Fangfei wants to stay here and wait for her cousin."

It was a rare opportunity to see Luo Furong being punished, so Luo Fangfei would not think of leaving.

"This……"

Luo Xiang didn't know that they had such a deep sisterly love, which made him unable to bear to separate them. "Forget it, if you want to stay, then stay here."

Luo Fangfei thanked him with red eyes: "Thank you, uncle."

Luo Xiang: "No need to be so reserved with uncle."

"Okay, uncle, Fangfei understands."

Luo Fangfei was happy in her heart, but she still looked sad on the surface.

Luo Furong is the legitimate daughter of the second wife in the family and has been spoiled since birth. On the other hand, although I am the only daughter of the third wife, I am a bastard born to a concubine and am not valued by my stepmother. I even suffer from her bullying.

Whatever she wants, she can only fight for it by herself and use tricks to get it.

If her uncle had not sent a message home, asking her and Luo Furong to come to Shengjing to find a good marriage and help the Luo family, she would most likely have been married off casually by her stepmother.

Luo Fangfei knew that only by getting her uncle's attention could she use his power to get everything she wanted!

After a while, two maids came with Luo Furong.

Luo Furong was still yelling, "Who do you think you are? How dare you treat me like this! I'm going to let my uncle kill you!"

"Ahhh! Are you two deaf? I'm going to beat you to death! I'm going to beat you to death!"

"..."

Seeing Luo Furong acting like a spoiled child, Luo Fangfei lowered her head, a sneer flashing across her eyes.

But Luo Xiang couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at Luo Furong: "Luo Furong, shut up!"

Luo Furong was frightened. When she saw clearly that the person standing in front of her was her uncle who loved her the most, Luo Furong immediately stood up again and cried, "Uncle, they dared to disrespect me! And they hurt me! Please help me kill them--"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Xiang suddenly strode forward. With a cold face, he raised his hand and slapped Luo Furong's red and swollen face.

"Love Rong, where is your upbringing? What the hell are you going through!?"
