Chapter 49

Hearing the words "seal" and "Madam Qiu", Lou Xiyue couldn't sit still anymore and immediately stood up from the chair.

She hurriedly stepped out of the small screen and looked around, but she could only see one after another women from aristocratic families dressed in brocade clothes.They either walked back and forth, or gathered in twos and threes to talk in low voices.

Many people walked past Lou Xiyue, their sight was blocked, and Lou Xiyue was not sure which of these women "Mrs. Qiu" was.

Seeing her strange expression, Yunzhi wondered: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" She looked around curiously: "Who are you looking for? Are you looking for the prince?"

She said: "The prince is still interrogating the assassin, and the lady present is also being questioned by the Dali Temple official. I am afraid that the prince will not be able to leave for a while. Madam, please be calm and wait for a while."

As soon as the voice fell, Lou Xiyue's eyes lit up.

She didn't care about what Yunzhi said, and immediately walked towards the dignified woman in front of her: "Madam, please wait—"

At the same time that Lou Xiyue was catching up, the woman and her companions walked past the corner in front of her.

The garden where Princess Anning held the Flower and Moon Banquet was not too small. The flower hall was connected to the flower hall, and the courtyard was connected to the courtyard.

Lou Xiyue was busy chasing people, and almost collided with the oncoming people when she turned the corner.

"Your maidservant didn't mean to offend your mother, please forgive me." The little maid who almost bumped into Lou Xiyue hurriedly said: "My lady, the princess's residence is just ahead, you..."

Lou Xiyue: "Sorry, I—"

Before he finished speaking, a hand suddenly stretched out behind him.The man's broad palm rested on her shoulder.Subconsciously, Lou Xiyue stretched out her arms and lashed out.

But her elbow didn't touch the solid point, and was supported by a palm in an instant.Immediately following:

"Wangfei came out to look for the king, you have nothing to do here, please step back."

Lou Xiyue paused, then turned her head slightly, looking over from the corner of her eye, just in time to catch a glimpse of Fu Guan's sharp jawline.

She could clearly feel her right shoulder being held by the man, while her left elbow was pressed against a gentle palm.

Lou Xiyue's heart sank involuntarily - this posture seemed to be holding her in Fu Guan's arms.

She sneered to herself: It's only a few days since I met him that he's making such a fuss. Fortunately, he's still a majestic prince, so he doesn't respect himself so much.

At this moment, the little maid looked up at Fu Guan carefully, then at Lou Xiyue, then quickly lowered her head, and left in a hurry.

After the people left, Lou Xiyue took a step back.She didn't even pretend to be a perfunctory smile on her face: "Why did the prince come here, I didn't notice it."

Fu Guan looked at her and said, "I heard from your maid that you are looking for me, so I came here to have a look. Now it seems that I have misunderstood you."

He smiled inexplicably: "Since the concubine didn't come here to find me, she must be looking for someone else? Why don't you be more honest with the concubine, whoever you are looking for, this king will definitely help you find him."

Lou Xiyue couldn't tell who he was looking for.

"Who said I was looking for someone? I just ran into a butterfly on the way to play, so I chased it here. I didn't want to look for anyone." Lou Xiyue said with a fake smile: "My lord misunderstood."

"Oh, is that so?" Fu Guan said, "If this is a misunderstanding, then Madam Cai's fists and feet showed supernatural powers, and she threw the assassin into the lake with one move, is it also a misunderstanding?"

He smiled and said: "Madam is good at martial arts. With such a good ability, why do you still hide it? It's really good. My king can't see any clues."

Lou Xiyuexin said that he didn't pursue it just now, it wasn't that he didn't care, it turned out that he was waiting for her here.

She said: "That's just the most common three-legged cat kung fu. It's just for self-defense. It's not in the elegant hall, so why talk about it when you meet people?"

"Furthermore, with my identity here, it would not be appropriate for people to know that I have practiced martial arts, so I did not tell this matter." Lou Xiyue said: "My lord will never blame me for this matter. Me?"

Fu Guan: "What did Madam say, you and I are husband and wife, we are husband and wife, we are one body, so we should be considerate to each other. How can this king blame you for this?

"It's just that you showed your hands and feet in front of everyone today, and I will have to explain a few more words to others in the future, which is quite troublesome."

Lou Xiyue smiled: "My lord also said that husband and wife are one body. My business is the lord's business. How can it be troublesome to deal with my own affairs. My lord, tell me, is this the truth?"

Hearing this, Fu Guan said in a funny way: "That's right. Madam's words are reasonable. Then according to this inference, Madam practicing martial arts is the king's own family practicing martial arts. Then it must be reasonable for me to want to know how Madam practiced martial arts. As it should be."

Lou Xiyue: "..."

Got blocked back.

She took a deep breath, thinking that this matter will have to be explained sooner or later, so she might as well make it clear at this moment:
"To tell you the truth, my lord, when I was young, I learned the art of horse riding from an old servant in my family. That old servant once went to the battlefield with my grandfather, and I learned martial arts from him."

Lou Xiyue explained: "At that time, learning martial arts was just for the purpose of strengthening the body and for self-defense. It was nothing else. Later, my grandmother wanted to teach women's knitting, so she stopped learning the art."

Fu Guan: "Really? That's really a pity. Seeing Madam's move today, it's clean and neat. If you have such an attainment after just a little learning, then Madam is really a prodigy in dancing. It's a pity to give up like this."

He expressed regret, but Lou Xiyue couldn't tell that he was probing?
Fu Guan obviously didn't believe it.

Lou Xiyue didn't care whether he was sincere or suspicious, as long as he didn't embarrass her face to face.

Even if he went to investigate, she didn't believe that Fu Guan could find anything.

Lou Xiyue: "As long as I can be by the prince's side, there is no regret. As a lady, I shouldn't learn martial arts. This is my return from the wrong way."

She said something against her will without blinking her eyes.

Fu Guan: "If you really think so, then it's very good." He turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and said, "It's not early, Madam is tired after going out, it's better to go back home earlier."

He called Xuan Yi: "This king is going to interrogate the assassin for the first time, and Xuan Yi will send you back on behalf of this king in a while."

It doesn't matter to Lou Xiyue.As long as it wasn't delivered by Fu Guan himself.

"Everything is arranged by the prince."

Fu Guan stood under the long corridor, quietly watching Lou Xiyue gradually go away, and told Xuan Yi: "You must watch her go back to the mansion. If there is any abnormal movement around her in the past few days, report to the king in time, and there must be no mistakes."

Xuan Yi: "Yes, this subordinate understands."

In addition, Fu Guan called Xuan Miao again: "Go and find the teacher who taught Ban Xiyu martial arts. I want to see who is it who can teach such a ruthless person——

"Also, find out what happened to Ban Xiyu before she left Huaijiang Mansion, including who she came into contact with, what she met, and what enemies she had. It must be reported clearly."

Xuan Miao also took the order to retreat: "Yes, my subordinate obeys."

 Every time I write about the rivalry between Xiyue and Fu Guan, I want to say: You two hurry up and get straight, fight, fight! (no.
