Chapter 372 Hunting (1)

Capital City, Imperial Palace.

The two opposite doors in the courtyard were slightly open, and a gust of wind blew in.

In the independent wind in the west of the building, she was silent for a moment, and then said: "It is a great joy for the whole world to celebrate His Highness's return to the royal family. My wife also thinks that this is a great blessing."

She considered her words and managed to say something that was appropriate for the occasion: "Furthermore, Your Highness is the Crown Prince, and the decision made by you and His Majesty has its own reasons. I can only obey it without any complaints, so of course there is no discussion." Forgive or not forgive.”

She said expressionlessly: "Your Highness, please don't be so polite. In that case, I will really be frightened."

However, Xiang Jie sighed helplessly: "Sure enough, once we have the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, the princess and I will become very different from each other." He said, "This is the reason why I concealed my identity before."

Xiang Jie looked at Lou Xiyue sincerely and said: "Although we have known each other for a short time, I have always regarded you and King Xuanping as close friends. As the saying goes, it is always cold at high places. I don't want to lose the opportunity to make friends with you after regaining my identity. , that’s why...

"Alas, now it seems that I was wrong after all. Maybe if I confessed earlier, the result would be better."

Lou Xiyue: "..." She wanted to throw away her hands and leave, but she held back, "His Highness was joking. We are all His Highness's ministers. His Highness has given you an order. It's okay for ministers to ignore His Highness."

She said: "It's getting late. Mrs. He still needs someone to take care of her. Let me leave first."

Lou Xiyue couldn't wait to get around Xiang Jie, but before she could get far, Xiang Jie stopped her again. This time, he stood still and didn't move:

"You'd better wait a little longer. Mrs. He has maids waiting for her, and a doctor is on call at any time. There's really no need for you, Miss Lou, to keep an eye on her all the time."

Xiang Jie said with a smile: "Besides, Miss Lou has never done any waiting work, right? You are a spy from the Xian Yang Sect. You should only know how to kill people, not save people."

The moment he finished speaking, the surrounding atmosphere was about to reach freezing point.

Lou Xiyue paused and turned around, her cold eyes filled with murderous intent: "What did you call me?"

Seeing that she finally looked at him, the smile on Xiang Jie's face became even wider: "Miss Lou, what's the problem? Lou, Xi, Yue, this is your real name, am I right?"

"How did you know."

Xiang Jie replied: "There is no airtight wall in the world, and naturally there are no eternal secrets - I have investigated you. Although I didn't find anything wrong at first, after all, you and the real Ban Xiyu are twin sisters."

"But the difference between you and Ban Xiyu is so obvious that it's hard not to make people suspicious. Just when I was at a loss what to do, I discovered that in the records of the deposed prince's exchanges with Linlang Pavilion, there was mention of the 'Xianyang Gate'. There’s even the name ‘Ban Xiyu’ in it.”

He smiled and said: "So I secretly sent someone to go to the old site of Xianyang Gate. Sure enough, the spies found your real name - Lou Xiyue among the ruins of Xianyang Gate."

If it had been earlier, Lou Xiyue might have been panicked for a moment after her identity was revealed. But Fu Guan had analyzed the stakes with her a few days ago, so she was not distracted for a moment at this moment.

She said "Oh" lightly and said, "Really, so what?"

Xiang Jie looked at her quietly: "You don't seem surprised."

"Rather than being surprised, I'm more curious about what His Highness wants to do next." Lou Xiyue said, "Is Your Highness trying to threaten me with this?"

Xiang Jie smiled and said: "How could it be? I admire Miss Lou very much, so why would I threaten Miss Lou? Besides, the method of threatening is not honorable, and I disdain it." Lou Xiyue: "Then what do you want to do?"

"I just want Miss Lou to look at me." Xiang Jie stepped forward and approached her: "I want to make friends with Miss Lou, but Miss Lou always maintains a sense of distance, as if you are separated from others by a wall. Not easy to get close to.

"Sometimes I envy King Xuanping - it must be very interesting to have someone as special as Miss Lou accompanying him, right?"

Lou Xiyue frowned and stared at him: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I want to say..." Xiang Jie looked directly into her eyes and said slowly: "Why don't you abandon Fu Guan and follow me."

"What?" Lou Xiyue thought she heard wrongly.

Xiang Jie continued: "I know that your purpose of going north to the capital is nothing more than to avenge the Xian Yang clan. I also know the reason why you married King Xuan Ping... But the word 'marry' seems inappropriate. I think You should be in a cooperative relationship.

"You maintain a superficial marriage relationship with King Xuanping, but in fact you want to rely on him to achieve your revenge. At the same time, King Xuanping also needs your help to bring down the deposed prince and get rid of Linlang Pavilion. What I said Right?"

Without waiting for Lou Xiyue's answer, Xiang Jie said to himself: "Actually, Fu Guan is not the only one who can help you with your revenge - I can too. Even my status as the prince is more useful. So, abandoning Fu Guan It will be beneficial and harmless to you to follow me.”

After saying that, he put on a gentle and harmless look and said, "What do you think?"

Lou Xiyue: "..."

She was silent.

I thought Xiang Feng, who betrayed Daxuan, was crazy enough, but I didn't expect that the new prince who succeeded Xiang Feng was even more morbid.

The last one was dedicated to fighting for power, but this one actually targeted his wife, which makes people wonder whether all the men in the Daxuan royal family are so insane.

Lou Xiyue said sincerely: "I think your highness needs to ask an imperial doctor to check your pulse. Otherwise, the longer the delay, the more dangerous Daxuan's future will be - after all, Daxuan needs a conscious prince, not a sane prince." A madman."

After saying this, Lou Xiyue's patience finally ran out.

She didn't give him another look, said "goodbye", turned around and left.

Xiang Jie hurriedly caught up: "Why did Miss Lou refuse? I can do what Fu Guan can do, and I can do it better than him. I..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sentence not far away:
"That's not necessarily the case."

Xiang Jie paused for a moment and immediately followed the sound - he saw a tall man standing under the originally empty locust tree.

When Lou Xiyue and Xiang Jie turned to look, the man moved. At the same time, the lantern hanging under the eaves of the left corridor clearly reflected his face.

"King Xuanping." Xiang Jie retracted his hand unnaturally and said hello to him: "We didn't notice when you came."

Fu Guan first glanced at Lou Xiyue, and then stared at Xiang Jie's hand that touched Lou Xiyue. After a moment, he looked away and said: "When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince claimed that I wanted to reconcile with the princess, The time has come.”

Xiang Jie: "..." He smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence - in that case, may I ask what King Xuanping thinks?
"I think it was an expedient measure when Miss Lou married you. Now that we have a better solution, it would be better for the two young ladies of the Ban family to return to their respective places as soon as possible."
