Xiao Xingyu looked at Xie Rulan with a guilty conscience, opened his mouth to explain, but didn't know how to start, "Xie Ning, I..."

There was no further word for a long time, but Xie Rulan knew that he could no longer hide it. He knew Xiao Xingyu's identity a long time ago, and he knew it from the very first meeting.

But he didn't want to tell the truth, Xie Rulan realized the truth that he had ignored all this time, there was a gully between the two of them that could never be bridged, as if the distance between heaven and earth meant that they were not fellows.

But now, in a panic in his heart, he subconsciously said such words——

"I know your identity is not simple, but your highness, which highness is it?"

He didn't want to admit that he knew the truth, subconsciously, he avoided this fact.

Xiao Xingyu was stunned for a while, knowing that he couldn't hide it anymore, he sighed and said: "I never want to hide it from you, Xie Ning, I will tell you everything now, in fact, I am the fourth son of the emperor, the fourth brother of the emperor, Xiao Xingyu, Prince Zhuang who passed away suddenly more than three months ago."

Xie Rulan's eyes flickered, as if she didn't understand Xiao Xingyu's meaning, Xiao Xingyu patiently explained: "Three months ago, I was poisoned and killed by someone. Fortunately, I was lucky. Although I didn't die, my father arranged I came to Yangzhou to avoid disaster, so I got to know you."

Xie Rulan blinked her eyes blankly, her sly and beautiful appearance was particularly eye-catching, Xiao Xingyu felt uneasy, and continued: "Although I am a royal family, King Zhuang is dead, from now on I will only be Xiao Xingyu, I will be with you See, it's all sincere, Xie Ning, I've always wanted to tell you, can you..."

Unexpectedly, Xie Rulan suddenly came back to his senses, and interrupted him anxiously, "I understand, Your Highness, there is no need to say more, these two must also be high-ranking adults, they must have important things to find you, you should go first Let's get on with the business!"

But what is more important than explaining clearly to Xie Rulan?Seeing Xie Rulan's suddenly pale expression, Xiao Xingyu guessed in his heart that he had thought of something unhappy, but he couldn't explain it to someone who didn't want to listen to him, so he had no choice but to leave first.

When he got up, he comforted him with a good voice: "You sleep well, I will come to see you after I am done."

Xie Rulan didn't answer, but just lowered her head and clenched the brocade quilt tightly with her fingertips, as if she was very nervous.Xiao Xingyu's eyebrows were stained with sorrow, and he led people out of the room.

Only then did Ji Feng realize that he had made a mistake, he knelt down in front of the door with a plop, and hastily pleaded guilty: "Your Highness, I don't know how to thank you, Young Master...Your Highness, please punish me for my slip of the tongue!"

Xiao Xingyu was not angry with him, he waved his hands and said: "Forget it, he will always know, it's good to stand and know."

But Xiao Xingyu's appearance was clearly worried about the people in the room, so he asked again: "Did you find it?"

Ji Feng and Zhong Yue looked at each other, both lowered their heads and said: "This subordinate is incompetent, Chen Qianfan did not find an antidote for heartbroken heart."

Xiao Xingyu also thought of this a long time ago. There is indeed no antidote for heartbroken heart. Chen Qianfan did not know where to find this poison.

"Forget it, send more people to find a way to detoxify, it must be quick."

The two of them should be, but at this time an elder came from outside the courtyard, bowed his hands to them and said: "The young heroes are all friends of Master Xiao. , Master Xiao asked me to invite a few of you over to have a gathering."

Before Jiang Yuelou left, Xiao Xingyu knew what Xiting meant, but the two of them must have seen through each other's identity at this time, so they came to invite him as the rightful master.

Xiao Xingyu put on the mask again before going out, at this time no one else recognized him, except for his own people, Ji Feng got Xiao Xingyu's nod and responded to the elder, and the three followed the elder to the living room.

Sure enough, when we went, the crowd had dispersed, only Jiangyuelou and Xiting were left in the house, and there was an unexpected person.

"Duanmu Ci?"

The few people sitting in the banquet saw Xiao Xingyu come into the room and got up to salute respectfully, they all said: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness is well."

Xiao Xingyu's guess was indeed correct, Jiang Yuelou was also "one of his own", but Xiao Xingyu could guess more than half of who gave this person to him.

"Are you here too?"

Xiao Xingyu tore off his mask, sat down slowly at the banquet, and looked at Duanmu Ci.

The other party responded with a light smile without any haste: "Subordinates come down to give gifts."

Xiao Xingyu let out a sigh, and said, "There are so many people here, why are they all waiting for me here?"

Duanmuci consciously poured wine and offered it, Xiting also tore off the disguise, and Jiangyuelou never sat down, just smiled and said: "It seems that His Highness has already guessed it, but Patriarch Duanmu and I came late today, so we can't help you." Your highness will help."

The wine was handed in front of him, but Xiao Xingyu didn't take it, so Ji Feng took it, Duan Muci smiled and said: "But after all, my brother also contributed, and my brother's kung fu is getting better and better."

She looked at Xi Ting with a smile in her eyes, and the other party smiled back. The gaze was full of tenderness and sweetness. Xiao Xingyu's face was full of sadness, and he couldn't bear to see that these people pretended to be confused and said with a cold face: " I probably know who sent you, and what that person wants me to do, you might as well speak up."

The three people looked at each other and had made a decision. They stood in a row and bowed their hands respectfully. With Jiang Yuelou as the leader, they said, "These subordinates are here only to protect His Highness. Since the last time we left Baijiazhai, His Highness's The whereabouts have been revealed, and the subordinates do have missions, but there are various reasons, please wait with me to a place first, and the truth will naturally come to light."

Xiao Xingyu raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean Yangzhou Wangzhuang?"

Jiang Yuelou paused for a moment, but actually nodded.

Xiao Xingyu smiled suddenly, not knowing what it meant, but the two behind him became vigilant, Xiao Xingyu asked the three of them, "Everyone is here? Why is there one missing, where is Aunt Yu?"

Hearing this, Duanmu said with a smile: "How does Your Highness know that Aunt Yu is related to us?"

Xiao Xingyu was also funny, "If you can send people to Wangzhuang to investigate, can't I? Ji Feng, tell me what you saw."

"Yes." Ji Feng took a step forward and said to the three people: "Your Highness sent me to visit Wangzhuang in person earlier, and I met Mr. Li, one of the 36th General Banners of Beiming Division, so I confirmed the identity there. Safety, at the same time, also found the dark thread of Duanmu's house."

Xiao Xingyu took the words, with a sneer in his eyes, "Duanmuci and Jiangyuelou have contacts with each other, the two of you must be connected, and your secret lines can freely enter and leave Wangzhuang, isn't that very suspicious?" The most surprising thing is that if Ji Feng hadn't brought back Li Zongqi's portrait, this king would not have known that she was Aunt Yu."

Those three people looked at each other, Xiao Xingyu smiled and applauded at this moment, shook his head and said: "Hahaha, everyone is really good at acting, a master of Zongqi is following me as a maid, and Master Jiang is playing cat and mouse with me again." The game, or is there someone else deliberately playing the king?"

If it wasn't for the extremely sarcastic smile, these people could still come up with another set of rhetoric, but Duanmu Ci was still a little wronged, and he clarified for himself in a low voice, "Your Highness, you know that my own situation was not stable at that time, so I really You didn't do anything! At most, you just reported your safety to Zhuang Zhuang Jiang and Zongqi Li."

"Really?" Xiao Xingyu was amazed, and said with a sneer, "I thought it was because you didn't have time or time to do other things."

Duanmu Ci couldn't laugh anymore, and several people hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "This subordinate knows his mistake, but this subordinate is also forgiven. Please follow me to Wangzhuang, Your Highness, so we will know everything."

"That's it again." Xiao Xingyu sneered, "What if I don't go?"

"Your Highness, this..."

Duanmu Ci was dumb. According to Xiao Xingyu's temperament, shouldn't he go to the people behind the scenes to settle accounts?Jiang Yuelou didn't dare to show any disrespect on the face at this time, and said anxiously: "But this is what the master wants. If the Fourth Highness knows the identity of the master, why doesn't he follow?"

Xiao Xingyu asked back with a cold face: "Could it be that your master also asked you to play tricks on me?"

Jiang Yuelou bowed his head and said: "This subordinate knows the crime, if the Fourth Highness is dissatisfied, even if the crime is condemned, but you must not be willful, and you must go to Wangzhuang with us!"

"Your Highness, this person has evil intentions, we cannot listen to his words!" When Ji Feng said this, his hand was already on the hilt of his sword.

Xiao Xingyu's face became more and more cold, but after thinking about it, he suddenly laughed again, "It's not difficult to go to Wangzhuang with you, but I have a condition."

Those three people were relieved, Jiang Yuelou was afraid that he would go back on his word, so he hurriedly said: "If your Highness has orders, I dare not refuse."

"Okay." Xiao Xingyu propped his chin with one hand, looked at the three of them with a smile in his eyes, and said in a leisurely tone: "I don't need you to do anything embarrassing. There is only one condition. When will the poison on Xie Ning be cured? I will go with you anytime."

"Xie Ning?"

Jiang Yuelou was stunned. He had just met Xie Ning and found out his identity not long ago, but unexpectedly, he heard the news that he had been poisoned before he had a chance to get together with him.

Jiang Yuelou said urgently: "Your Highness, what poison did Xie Ning suffer? Can you take me to see him?"

Xiao Xingyu was displeased to see his rival in such a hurry. He had planned what happened today. His power is too small to be able to stretch his hands and feet in the south of the Yangtze River. However, Jiang Yuelou and others are not bad at it. fool.

Knowing this truth, Xiao Xingyu came to talk to them, but right now Xie Rulan's health is critical, even if Xiao Xingyu is dissatisfied, he knows to put it down for now.

"You know how to detoxify? The one in him is made from the heartbroken grass. Can you detoxify it?"

Jiang Yuelou calmed down, touched his nose and said guiltily, "This subordinate doesn't know how to detoxify, but he also knows a few master detoxification experts."

"That's good." Hearing this, Xiao Xingyu felt much more relieved, immediately got up, and hurriedly said: "You follow me to see him."
