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

Chapter 24: Lu Fengyi wants me to recommend myself?

Lu Fengyi has another mission?

Xie Xi's eyes flashed, and he took Lu Fengyi's hand and led her to the study: "It's my fault. I was busy dealing with things and let you suffer."

"Mu Qing, ask the kitchen to prepare some food and send it over."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qing suddenly appeared at the door of the study.

Mu Qing bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

Mu Qing turned around and strode away.

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't really feel wronged.

Now listening to His Highness admitting his mistake, her little head was a little confused, and she looked at His Highness the Crown Prince with more and more admiration.

[What kind of a good man is His Highness? He even knows how to admit his mistakes!? ]

[Your Highness is so well behaved. How can I bear to blame you? ]

[Of course I have to forgive His Highness! ]

"Now that I have met His Highness, I no longer feel wronged."

Lu Xiaoxiao pretended to be shy and looked away, "But Your Highness, the study is a very important place, can you really let me in?"

Xie Xi: “Yes.”

Those important letters were not in the study. Xie Xi had already placed them in another more hidden and safe place.

His study did not contain any important secrets.

Lu Xiaoxiao followed the Crown Prince into the study.

After coming in, Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced around. The study was extremely clean and tidy. In the center of the study was a round table and a few stools.

In addition to some valuable vases and paintings placed on both sides, there are six rows of bookshelves filled with books behind the desk.

[It seems that His Highness likes reading a lot. With so many books, I wonder if there are any maps of the Kingdom of Li in them.]

[I don’t know how far Jiangnan is from Shengjing. ]

Why did Lu Fengyi suddenly mention Jiangnan?

Could it be that she wants to go to Jiangnan?

Or is this mission related to Jiangnan?

Xie Xi suppressed the doubts in his heart, took Lu Fengyi's hand, led her to sit at the round table, opened the food box, took out the cakes inside one by one, and placed them on the table.

When Lu Xiaoxiao came to her senses, she saw the pastries placed on the table one by one.

[Your Highness is so gentle, I can’t resist it! ]

[I misunderstood His Highness this morning!!!]

Xie Xi frowned slightly. What did Lu Fengyi misunderstand about him again?

He had wanted to hear what Lu Fengyi was thinking about, but she stopped thinking about it.

Xie Xi felt helpless and could only test Lu Fengyi slowly.

I don’t know what the mission Lu Fengyi was referring to?

Now in Xie Xi's eyes, the mission is points, and points are the antidote to the cold poison.

In order to completely eliminate the cold poison, he had to complete the task for Lu Fengyi as soon as possible no matter what.

Xie Xi lowered his eyes, hiding the thoughts in his eyes, and looked up at Lu Fengyi, but saw that she was still staring at the cakes on the table in a daze. He couldn't help but chuckle: "Lu Fengyi, why are you just looking at it and not eating it?"

"This is what I brought specially for Your Highness. I won't eat it, but I don't know if Your Highness likes it."

In fact, Lu Xiaoxiao was not hungry.

Lu Xiaoxiao was thinking about how to bring up what happened in the court with His Highness.

[If I ask Your Highness directly whether he received the secret letter from Jiangnan during the morning court session today...]

[No, no, if I really said that, His Highness would definitely misunderstand that I was here to gather information...]

[But this time the mission is about Jiangnan's bribery case. How should I ask so that I don't seem to be being deliberate? ]

Hearing Lu Fengyi's inner struggle, Xie Xi almost couldn't help but ask directly.

Unfortunately not.

Young Master Huaijun had tried this before, but he was unable to speak out anything that mentioned Lu Fengyi's feelings.

Xie Xi took a deep breath, picked up a small piece of plum cake and took a bite. It was a bit sweet, but barely edible.

Xie Xi seldom ate pastries. Originally, there was no chef who was good at making pastries in the Prince's Mansion. It was only after Concubine Xiao and Zhang Liangyuan entered the mansion that Xie Xi brought some back from the palace.

Xie Xi swallowed it with difficulty, and then said, "I like the cakes that Lu Fengyi brought here personally."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "As long as Your Highness likes it."

[Headache, how should I start? ]

Xie Xi calmly lowered his head and took a sip of tea, waiting patiently for Lu Fengyi to speak.

Lu Xiaoxiao stole a few glances at His Highness.

Seeing that His Royal Highness had a gentle expression and didn't look like he would get angry, Lu Xiaoxiao was nervous for many times in her heart, but finally she bit the bullet and asked, "I heard that His Royal Highness was going to the palace to attend the morning court today. Do you have any interesting stories to tell me?"

[Let's test it first. I don't know if His Highness will tell me. ]

Lu Xiaoxiao was a little nervous.

Hearing this, Xie Xi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Does Lu Fengyi want to hear about what happened in the court?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned by the straight shot from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But now that the words have been said, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't refute it. She looked at His Royal Highness eagerly, her heart beating faster with nervousness: "Your Highness, can you tell me?"

"Everything in the court is confidential, I..."

[Your Highness!! Please don’t reject me, I really want to hear it! ]

Listening to Lu Fengyi's almost screaming voice, Xie Xi rubbed his brow helplessly. He looked down at Lu Fengyi, whose eyes were slightly red, and sighed in his heart: "I can tell you, but Lu Fengyi can't spread this matter. Can you do it?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned.

After reacting, Lu Xiaoxiao suppressed the excitement in her heart: "I can do it!"

"Your Highness, I promise I won't tell anyone a word!"

Xie Xi: ...But you will say it in your heart.

"At the morning court today, a secret letter came from Jiangnan."

[Sure enough, the plot has been advanced! 】

Xie Xi glanced at Lu Fengyi and continued, "Officials in Jiangnan protect each other, increase taxes, and oppress the people. The people have nowhere to appeal for their grievances..."

"The emperor wanted to send someone to Jiangnan to handle this matter, but no one in the court dared to recommend themselves."

"What about Your Highness?"

Lu Xiaoxiao asked subconsciously.

[Since no one has volunteered to handle the Jiangnan bribery case, I should persuade His Highness to take over the case as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the Emperor hands the Jiangnan matter over to the Fourth Prince, my mission will really fail! ]

[I don't know what the system is doing. Knowing that Jiangnan is so dangerous, why do they insist on asking me to persuade His Highness to go to Jiangnan to resolve this matter? ]

[You also want me to accompany you to protect His Highness! I wonder if His Highness will take me with him! ]

[Fortunately, this mission can reward 200 points, which barely comforts me. If I collect a few more points, I can exchange the antidote for His Highness! ]

Xie Xi understood.

It turned out that Lu Fengyi's mission this time was to let her persuade him to go to Jiangnan to resolve the Jiangnan bribery case.

Xie Xi pursed his lips and asked, "Lu Fengyi wants me to recommend myself?"
