monopolize my master

"General, can you let me have a closer look?" Ling Xiao said, "This is indeed something that belongs to the prince. The prince has always studied the art of ingenuity, and I know a little bit about it. Maybe there is a way to return it to Zhao."

The general handed the iron box to Ling Xiao suspiciously.

Ling Xiao picked up the iron box and looked at it carefully.Although this iron box has been kissed by fire, it is exquisitely crafted and decorated with complicated patterns, it is definitely not an ordinary thing.

"Looks like the craftsmanship of Lu Ban's descendants." Ling Xiao shook his head, "I can't untie it for a while. If the general trusts me, you might as well let me take it home and study it for a few days before returning it to you."

"I don't have anything good to do here, so I might as well let you try it." The general sighed.

"Thank you, General, for your generous help. I am very grateful." Ling Xiao gave a slight salute to General Hussar, "Since the general is fine, I will leave first."

"You...don't leave yet." The general got up, but rubbed his hands together in a very awkward manner, "Um...do you want to go back to Zuihualou? Someone pack up a wing for the girl and come out... The girl might as well stay in the mansion first...the old bustard, I will explain to her in the future, and then help you redeem yourself..."

When Ling Xiao heard the words, he felt embarrassed for a while.Excuse me, what he said does have some truth, Zuihualou must not stay for a long time, and the General's Mansion, if he is not careful, his identity will be exposed... In case the Hussar General becomes suspicious of him to Jinghe The prince's mansion made an investigation, didn't everything leaked?

"His Royal Highness arrives------"

Just as Ling Xiao was struggling with how to reply to the general, the voice of the father-in-law outside the door came into the room.General Hussars turned pale with shock, "That... girl... you can hide... for a while, okay?"

"General, don't be nervous." Ling Xiao hurriedly said, "I also have a relationship with His Royal Highness on several occasions, so the general's reputation will not be affected."

"No... I'm not afraid that you will hurt your reputation or something..." The general was anxious, and hurriedly explained to Ling Xiao, but at this time, Su Huang had already arrived at the door of the study.

"It's really impolite to interrupt the general without prior notice." Su Huang said, "I came here today because I have something important to ask the general. I wonder if the general can retreat first."

The general opened his mouth, but Ling Xiao had already opened his mouth before he could speak.

"His Royal Highness, the servants belong to Jinghe's residence, and they are very concerned about the safety of the prince. Can you make an exception and allow the servants to stay and listen? Maybe it will help the case..."

"Who are you?" Su Huang seemed to have noticed Ling Xiao's existence only now, he shifted his gaze to Ling Xiao's face, scrutinized it carefully, and frowned hesitantly.

"How can there be a reason for a maidservant to listen in?...But..." Su Huang bit her lips, "You...do you know Ling Xiao?"

Ling Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment, so he winked at Su Huang desperately.And Su Huang just stared blankly at herself and winked, without understanding what she meant at all.

"Well..." Ling Xiao helped his forehead helplessly, "Then, His Royal Highness... I am Lord Ling Xiao's younger sister... I served in Jinghe's palace... that is actually today..." Ling Xiao curled his lips and looked at her desperately. Su Huang indicated that he was not malicious.

"Since she is Lord Ling Xiao's younger sister, then stay here." Su Huang cleared his throat, "I won't gossip anymore. General, I'm here to ask you about the whereabouts of Prince Jing and Prince. He will go out with you , but never came back. Do you know what happened?"

"I don't know." Unlike the embarrassment and nervousness with Ling Xiao before, the Hussar General's tone at this time was cold and distant, as if he had changed, "And the last general has already reported this matter to the Holy One, His Royal Highness You can ask the Holy One, why do you have to come here yourself?"

"Isn't it okay for me to come and ask?" Su Huang sneered, "Father has been up all night over this matter for several days. As a subject, is this how you share the worries for the Holy One?"

"Your Highness's words are wrong." General Hussars replied, "As a subject, you should strictly abide by your duty. What you can do is very limited, and you dare not presume. As for what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said about Prince Jinghe, I don't know anything about it." It can only be said that there is an unexpected situation in the army, and there is no comment. His Royal Highness should find someone else to ask."

General Hussar's attitude towards Su Huang was very cold, even contemptuous.Ling Xiao on the side couldn't help frowning in displeasure.When we got along just now, Ling Xiao originally thought that this Hussar General was a shy and introverted person who only specialized in fighting and marching.Unexpectedly, he was just not good at dealing with women.After all, being able to sit on the position of Hussar General in the officialdom is not only due to a passion and a shy and inexpressible temperament.

"Are you prevaricating this palace?" Su Huang seemed a little annoyed, "Privately, you feel that this palace has no right to intervene in these court affairs, do you?"

"I dare not talk about Your Highness." Hussar General sneered, "Your Highness, please go back. The Holy Majesty is still waiting for His Highness to enlighten and comfort you. The place here is rough and poor, and the hospitality is not good. Besides, the general and this The girl still has some important matters to discuss."

"Huh? Is it an order to chase away guests?" Su Huang was very angry at his arrogant attitude, but he couldn't get angry directly, "Then I will come to visit the general some other day."

"Your Highness, go slowly, I will not see you off at the end of the day." Hussar General gave a slight salute.Seeing Su Huang walking away, Ling Xiao beside him was very anxious, but he couldn't chase him out.He could only scold this hussar general a dozen times in his heart.

"are you crazy."

Seeing Su Huang walking away, Ling Xiao gave the general a hussar and said, "Why is the general so indifferent to His Royal Highness the prince? Although the prince is young, he is the master of the East Palace and the future emperor after all. He is just a Come to ask a few political matters, why does the general contradict you like this, don't you think the prince is not in your eyes?"

"You...you don't know something." The general looked at Ling Xiao's frantic face and said with a faint sigh, "It's okay to say it. Although I am a general, I have been fighting for many years, but I have long been disappointed with the royal family. If Jinghe Wang insisted If you advise me, I would have quit my job a long time ago.”

"So that's it. I'm talking too much." Ling Xiao paused and said, "I also appreciate the general's kindness. I still have a shelter in Donghui City. When I go back, I will unlock the secrets of this box. Come back and report to the general."

"Okay." After thinking about it, General Hussar took out a blood-red jade bracelet from his arms, grabbed Ling Xiao's hand without any explanation, and put it on his wrist.

"General... what is this?" Ling Xiao couldn't laugh or cry.

"This is a gift of oath. To you is also to me." The general turned around with a look of embarrassment, "You go back first. Remember what I said."

Ling Xiao walked out of the general's mansion with a heavy heart in his iron box, but unexpectedly his feet slipped, and he and the box fell to the side of the road.

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you." Ling Xiao held the hand extended to him, stood up holding the iron box, rubbed his head, but found that the person who pulled him up was actually Su Huang.

"That... thank you very much." Ling Xiao said softly, "Why are you here?"

Su Huang squinted his eyes and asked back.

"Just now I wanted to ask, you are the one, why are you dressed up like this? I almost didn't recognize it."

"I still found it." Ling Xiao took out the small bronze mirror from his arms, and carefully took a picture, "There is no flaw. Xiao Huang, you were in the general's mansion just now, so you didn't realize it was me at all, did you?"

"...I really didn't expect that." Su Huang raised her eyebrows, "What are you doing here? You don't have to make yourself look like this if you are looking for news."

"If it weren't for this, there would really be no way to find out the truth about this general." Ling Xiao laughed.

"is it?"

Su Huang's face suddenly pulled down.Ling Xiao was at a loss for a moment, imagining reaching out to rub his head as usual, and the ruby ​​bracelet on his wrist twirling around.

"What's that on your wrist?"

Su Huang grabbed Ling Xiao's right hand, and his expression suddenly became severe.

"The general sent me... is there any problem?"

"He really has deep affection for you." Su Huang's face was almost livid, "You often walk around in court, what's the matter with carrying this thing? It's misunderstood, so I lost it."

"Okay, okay." Ling Xiao smiled, "But I think this bracelet looks pretty good. I haven't seen Xinxin for a long time... Maybe she will like it?"

"Ling Xiao!" Su Huang suddenly interrupted his eloquence, "Do you really know these two days..."

"Hello---Ling Xiao? So you are here!"

The voice of the scholar came from afar.Ling Xiao waved at him helplessly.

"Ling Jun has news." The scholar ran out of breath, and handed the note in his hand to Ling Xiao, "It is said that... Ling Jun and your father have contacted... the matter of Jing and the prince, there is a clue gone."

"Really?" Su Huang said happily, "Can you tell me in detail?"

"...His Royal Highness... why are you here?" The scholar was momentarily at a loss for words, faltering, unable to utter a word, and could only look at Ling Xiao with eyes begging for help.

"You don't have to be brave, just let it go if you don't want to say it." Su Huang smiled wryly, "After all, even if I know, I can't do anything. You, and the hussar general just now, probably think so. As a Crown Prince, if you are so useless, it’s no wonder you don’t trust me.”

"What are you talking about?" Ling Xiao frowned, and interrupted him displeasedly, "Who in the world dares to doubt your ability? This matter is too involved, your father... afraid that you will be affected, I never told you a single word. It can be seen that this matter is too dangerous." Ling Xiao knelt down and gently touched Su Huang's head, "I am your master. Naturally, I will not hide anything from you. After I have dealt with these matters I will tell you its ins and outs one by one. There are many people here, so I will send you back to the palace first. Leave the rest to me, okay?"

"Understood." Su Huang nodded, looking at Ling Xiao seriously looking into his eyes, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"There are a lot of people on the street, hold me and don't get lost." Ling Xiao stretched out his hand and wrapped Su Huang's hand tightly.The scholar opened his mouth, and stood resentfully on the street, watching the two disappear at the end of the street.

"It seems that I have to go back and make preparations as soon as possible." The scholar carefully calculated, "According to Ling Yun's words, maybe this Donghui will not have many days to live in peace."
