Is Xiao Yu unhappy to see her with others?

Thinking of this, Su Lingyue felt inexplicably happy.

"Your Highness, let's go inside and talk." Su Lingyue walked in with her arm around Xiao Yu, smiling.

Along the way, Su Lingyue occasionally looked up at Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu noticed Su Lingyue's gaze, but responded with a faint expression, and no emotion could be seen.

When they arrived at the hall, Su Lingyue helped Xiao Yu to sit down. She held Xiao Yu's hand and sat down beside him.

Xiao Yu let her hold his hand and looked at her with scrutiny and displeasure.

"Your Highness, have you had lunch?" Su Lingyue smiled and blinked at him with her bright eyes.

"No." His expression remained indifferent.

Su Lingyue probably knew why he was angry. It was probably because he was hungry and had a bad temper.

"Cai Die, make a pot of red date and longan tea. Cai Yi, ask the kitchen to prepare some dishes that the prince likes."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Caidie Caiyi left, Su Lingyue took Xiao Yu's hand, interlocked their fingers, looked him in the eye, and explained, "Your Highness, I asked him to help me find something, and I invited him to dinner as a thank you. I have no other intentions. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Xiao Yu's expression was indifferent.

"I'll tell you in advance when I go to see him again."

Xiao Yu's expression remained unchanged.

"If you don't like it, I won't see him anymore, okay?"

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu aggrievedly. Xiao Yu couldn't help but chuckled when he saw Su Lingyue like this.

Looking at Xiao Yu's chuckle, Su Lingyue felt like she was deceived by him.

"So you're not angry, you lied to me!" Su Lingyue released her hands that were clasped with Xiao Yu's and sat there angrily.

"Yue'er, come here." Xiao Yu spoke in a gentle voice and reached out to Su Lingyue.

After a pause, Su Lingyue still couldn't bear it and put her hand on Xiao Yu's hand, and Xiao Yu pulled her into his arms.

"Why lied to me if you're not angry!" Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu's cold face with a faint smile, and said angrily with dissatisfaction.

Xiao Yu held Su Lingyue's slender waist and said softly, "Who said I wasn't angry! I'm not angry that you made friends. I was angry that you left without telling me. Just now, I saw Xiao Changan behind you. Do you know how worried I am that something might happen to you?"

After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Su Lingyue felt a little guilty.

Indeed, if someone wanted to kidnap her today, it would be easy.

Su Lingyue hooked her arm around Xiao Yu's neck, kissed him lightly on the lips, and said, "I know. I'll tell you when I go out. I'll go find another guard in the next two days. It's really inconvenient when Ji Tang suddenly leaves."

Xiao Yu said calmly: "You don't need to look for a guard, I'll let A Jing come to accompany you."

"Is Ajing in the mansion?"

"In the capital, I asked someone to call her back."

"Xiao Yu, you're so nice." Su Lingyue leaned on Xiao Yu's shoulder and rubbed her forehead against his slightly cool neck.

Today she was wearing a white fur-lined long coat, looking like a white cat.

Xiao Yu had never been able to resist Su Lingyue's coquettish behavior, and his heart seemed to melt. He tightened his hands on her slender waist and kissed her forehead gently.

"Miss...tea...is ready."

When Caidie brought in tea, she saw her young lady and the prince being affectionate with each other. She stood there with a red face for a while, not knowing what to do.

Su Lingyue blushed with embarrassment, got up from Xiao Yu and sat back on the stool.

Xiao Yu coughed lightly and said, "Bring it here."

"Oh."

Only then did Caidie dare to walk over and put down the tea. After putting it down, she did not dare to stay for long and just stood outside the hall to accompany Yan Qing.

Xiao Yu poured a cup for himself and Su Lingyue respectively. Su Lingyue picked up the cup and took a sip, feeling warm both physically and mentally.

"What did the prince do in the morning?" Su Lingyue warmed her hands with a cup of tea and turned her head curiously to ask Xiao Yu.

"Looking for my princess." Xiao Yu sat upright, drinking tea with his eyes lowered, his expression indifferent.

Su Lingyue stared at Xiao Yu in a daze for a moment, unable to speak, and her heart was burning.

"Is the prince going out this afternoon?"

"Well, we need to go to the farm outside to interrogate two people."

"Okay, Your Majesty, please be safe, and...come back early in the evening."

"it is good."

At Xiao Yu's request, Su Lingyue accompanied him for lunch again. After the meal, Xiao Yu told her that the servant was making a swing in the garden. She went for a walk in the garden. Xiao Yu, accompanied by Yan Qing, went to the farm outside.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Yu remembered that Li Jing had told him where she lived, so he said to Yan Qing who was driving the carriage in front of him, "Yan Qing, go to Wuyi Lane to pick up Li Jing."

In the yard, Li Jing, wearing a light green long coat, was feeding chickens. The warm winter sun shone on her body. Looking at the lively group of chickens in the fence, she was in a particularly good mood.

"dong dong dong"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Li Jing, who had been waiting for many days, couldn't help but feel happy and ran to open the door.

When he opened the door and saw Yan Qing and Xiao Yu coming in, the smile on his face disappeared instantly and was replaced by surprise.

"Xiao Yu, Yan Qing, why are you here!"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "It's a long story. Pack up and go to the manor with me first. We will return to the palace together in the evening."

In the carriage, Xiao Yu told Li Jing everything that happened in Longhua Temple. After a moment of silence, Li Jing said, "Don't worry, I will protect her."

When he arrived at the farm, Xiao Yu first went to the dungeon where Sima Changfeng was imprisoned.

Sima Changfeng's eyes were still covered with a black cloth, his hands and feet were tied with four iron chains, and his mouth was stuffed with cloth. His originally well-defined jawline had become even thinner, and his face was just skin and bones.

Hearing the sound of someone coming in, Sima Changfeng raised his head and tilted his ear as if he wanted to listen to something.

Xiao Yu looked at Sima Changfeng and said calmly, "Go take the cloth out of his mouth."

Li Jing pushed Yan Qing and said, "Xiao Yan, you go. I think it's dirty."

"I hate it too." Yan Qing said, then opened the door of the cell and pulled out the cloth stuffed in Sima Changfeng's mouth.

"Xiao Yu...you're finally here." Sima Changfeng forced a smile, but with his untidy beard and bruised face, he looked very embarrassed.

Xiao Yu curled his lips and chuckled, "Are you looking forward to seeing me?"

"Kind of. How's it going out there?"

"You have become a wanted criminal, and the secret guards have been abolished."

The tones of both of them were extremely calm, as if they were not talking about the outcome of a strategic contest, but rather about ordinary things like eating and sleeping.

Sima Changfeng did not speak for a long time before he said, "I admit defeat. Just kill me! Death is better than being tortured by your men every day!"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "Life or death is not up to you."

After that, Xiao Yu said, "You two go out first."

Although Li Jing and Yan Qing were puzzled, they still did as they were told.

Yan Qing said with concern: "Prince, please be careful. Call me if you have any problems. Sister Jing and I are outside."

After about a cup of tea, Xiao Yu came out.

Yan Qing hurried over and asked, "What did the prince say to him?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I'll tell you later."

He turned and went to the cell on the other side.
