After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

After Murong Xiao finished speaking, Xiao Yujing still sat there calmly, without any unexpected reaction.

He had known it a long time ago.

but......

"Do you know what he used to buy your life?"

According to the rules of Xuanying Sect, if one wants to hire them to kill someone, the buyer must pay out his entire fortune to show his sincerity.

How could Xiao Yuheng, a deposed prince, have any wealth? Unless -

"What he offered was the entire kingdom of Dacheng."

Xiao Yujing's brows furrowed, and his eyes were filled with frost.

I didn't expect Xiao Yuheng would dare to joke about Dacheng's kingdom!

"Is Patriarch Murong so sure that he can ascend to the throne?" Xiao Yuheng said coldly.

Murong Xiao chuckled, "It's not that I believe it or not, but once you die, the throne of Dacheng will have to be passed on to him."

Murong Xiao is right.

The emperor's elder brother Xiao Yuyan had already left the palace and established his own government, and withdrew from the competition for the throne. If he died, even if Xiao Yuheng was now deposed, his father would restore his clan status for the sake of Dacheng's country and people.

"So what you want is the kingdom of Dacheng?" Xiao Yujing raised his eyebrows and looked at Murong Xiao.

Murong Xiao stretched out his index finger and waved it in front of him, "No, no, no, I have no interest in your kingdom or country."

Being an emperor is exhausting, how can it be as free as being a saint admired by everyone?

"I agreed to Xiao Yuheng just for fun." Murong Xiao said indifferently.

"Fun?"

"Yes, if I really kill you, and wait for Xiao Yuheng to ascend the throne, I will hand over Dacheng to someone else. Wouldn't it be interesting to see such a huge country change its owner?"

The more Murong Xiao thought about it, the more interesting it became, and a smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Yujing withdrew his gaze, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"He won't give you the throne."

The smile on Murong Xiao's face froze, "What do you mean?"

"literal meaning."

"He is looking for Xuanying Sect, and Xuanying Sect has its own rules."

"So what? He was willing to kill his brother for the throne. It's just a Xuanying Sect. Do you think he would be willing to give it up to someone else?"

"Isn't he afraid of revenge from the Xuanying Sect?"

The Xuanying Sect has been active in the martial arts world for so many years, and no buyer has dared to go against their promise.

"As long as he dares to do it, he will naturally be fully prepared."

Murong Xiao's face turned cold.

Unexpectedly, he was tricked.

"Master Murong, you know you can't kill me." Xiao Yujing looked at him calmly.

Murong Xiao was stunned.

Indeed, Xiao Yujing is superior in both guarding and martial arts.

"Tsk, this sect leader is just too lazy to kill you." Murong Xiao said disdainfully.

Xiao Yujing burst out laughing.

He knew the rules of Xuanying Sect. If Murong Xiao was determined to kill him, he would do his best to get rid of him.

Xiao Yujing picked up the teacup and bowed to Murong Xiao, "Thank you very much, Master Murong, for not killing me."

Murong Xiao snorted coldly, "Drink your tea yourself. I don't know what's wrong with drinking tea in the middle of the night."

"Farewell!"

After Murong Xiao finished speaking, he stood up and ran quickly out of the palace.

After a while, the black figure completely disappeared into the night sky.

Kosaku walked over from the side.

"Your Highness, do you want to continue following him?"

"No need." Xiao Yujing said lightly.

Xuanying Sect and Dacheng have always kept their distance from each other. Murong Xiao would not be stupid enough to dig his own grave by creating a conflict with the Dacheng royal family over a deposed prince.

"Your Highness, I have an important matter to report."

"What's the matter?"

"I discovered that Sect Master Murong is secretly investigating the princess."

Xiao Yujing frowned.

It seems that the incident of the twin brother and sister in the Southern Dynasty has made Murong Xiao suspicious.

"Your Highness, do you need me to stop you?" Jia Zuo asked.

Xiao Yujing pondered for a moment.

"No need."

Li'er's background is innocent, and Murong Xiao can't find anything even if he tries to investigate.

The more you try to stop him, the more people will think there is something wrong. It would be better to let him find out everything at once.

As for the fact that he could hear Li'er's thoughts, no one else knew about it except him.

-

Two days later, it was the day for the Holy Maiden Lingjia and the little prince of the Southern Dynasty to leave the capital.

Yuan Xin packed her luggage slowly, feeling extremely reluctant to leave.

Fuguo stood beside her with tears in his eyes.

"Yuan Xin, are you never going to come back after you leave..."

Hearing this, Yuan Xin's tears, which she had been holding back, burst out uncontrollably, and big tears fell on the luggage with a "pat pat" sound.

"Yuan Xin..."

When Fuguo saw her crying, he hugged her and she cried even louder.

"Yuan Xin, I can't bear to see you go..."

"I can't bear to leave you either..."

The two little sisters hugged each other and cried loudly.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying so sadly?" Jiang Ruoli walked into the room.

The two of them quickly let go of each other and bowed their heads.

"Miss."

Jiang Ruoli walked forward and helped the two of them up.

"I know you are reluctant to let me go, and I am also very sad..." Jiang Ruoli's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs.

"Since we have chosen this path, we must continue on this path firmly. Don't you agree?"

Yuan Xin and Fu Guo nodded.

"Yuan Xin, I believe you will become an excellent queen in the future. You must have confidence in yourself!"

"Miss......"

Yuan Xin was deeply touched by Jiang Ruoli's unconditional support.

"Okay, stop calling me Miss. Now you are the princess of the Southern Dynasty." Jiang Ruoli smiled and patted her hands.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xin knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed heavily.

"Miss will always be Miss Yuan Xin, and that will never change in this life!"

Jiang Ruoli's eyes suddenly became wet.

After nearly a year of getting along, she and Yuanqing have become like sisters in her heart.

She helped Yuan Xin up and wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief.

"Okay, stop crying, your eyes will be swollen soon."

"Next time we meet, I might have to call you Queen."

Jiang Ruoli teased with a smile.

"Miss..." Yuan Xin burst into laughter.

Fuguo, who was standing by, wailed and hugged Yuanxin while crying.

"Yuan Xin! You must be fine!"

"Don't ever forget me!"

Yuan Xin hugged her back, "Don't worry, I will never forget you in my life..."

Jiang Ruoli looked at the two people hugging each other helplessly, and slowly left the room, leaving them enough space.

A maid walked over quickly.

"Miss, the people from the Southern Dynasty have arrived."

Jiang Ruoli listened to the crying sounds coming from the room and estimated that it would take a while for the two of them to finish.

"Don't worry, let them wait for now."

"Yes." The maid took the order and left.

forecourt.

Hearing the maid's reply, Murong Xiao nodded and looked up at Duke Jiang.

"Duke Jiang, if you don't mind, can I walk around the courtyard?"

"Of course, please do as you wish, Saint." Duke Jiang said with a smile.

"Thank you."

Murong Xiao walked all the way to the back garden and saw someone already waiting in the pavilion.
