Chapter 323 The Second Prince Invites

"It's hard to say. I think we should find a way to hide elsewhere for safety. We will come back here after the limelight is over and the establishment of the reserve is over."...

Xia Ningxi squinted her eyes and listened for a while, then went back upstairs, ran into the room and closed the door, sat down in front of Yu Xuanzhen, slammed the table, and said, "It can't be true, can it? Those fief princes really want to enter the capital to serve as kings? Or are these just a cover?"

Yu Xuanzhen put down his pen, smiled lightly and said, "Wouldn't it be a good time to come to Beijing? Today's world is in troubled times. To put it bluntly, there are too many people who want to be emperors, and they are all members of the royal family. Naturally, they all have a chance to ascend to the throne, what do you think?"

The corner of Xia Ningxi's mouth twitched, and she looked at him suspiciously: "You won't repeat the old trick and use another method to split the Chaoyue Kingdom?"

"It's not that easy, let's see how things develop later."

Xia Ningxi pursed her lips, gasped and said, "If that's the case, we must prepare to leave as soon as possible, so as not to leave late and be trapped by others."

"In this way, you and You Huang take a step first, and I will catch up with you later." Yu Xuanzhen suggested while nodding in agreement.

Xia Ningxi shook her head like a rattle: "No, I will never leave without you."

Yu Xuanzhen smiled helplessly: "But you can't help much if you stay."

"Who says there is no help, I can protect you."

Yu Xuanzhen's eyes were deep, and he said, "Ning'er, I don't need your protection now."

With a sudden pain in her heart, Xia Ningxi asked hesitantly, "What do you mean...?"

"I mean I can protect myself, you don't have to worry."

Xia Ningxi felt as if he didn't need her anymore, and said sadly, "I understand."

Yu Xuanzhen gently held her hand, and said softly: "Don't think too much, I am a man, how can I always ask you to protect me. You must always take into account my dignity as a man."

"Yes." Xia Ningxi nodded obediently.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, and the noise became louder and louder.

Loud people seemed to be walking towards the door of their guest room, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

"Let me see what's going on." Xia Ningxi felt uneasy, she stood up hastily and was about to walk towards the door.

Yu Xuanzhen frowned, and hurriedly took her hand and walked towards the window, saying: "You leave here first, and come back later."

Xia Ningxi was puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "Do you know who is here?"

"It's Ming Mirage's person, I have to go see him. Only by catching me can he affect his judgment and let him relax his vigilance."

As Yu Xuanzhen said, he greeted Xiao Putao who was eating snacks on the table: "Go find King Cheng outside the city, and if he has contact with Ming Mirage, tell Yunchen exactly."

"I'll go right away." Little Putao immediately dropped the snack, jumped up and flew out of the window.

Yu Xuanzhen said again: "Wait a minute, after so long, it's time for you to show people in human form."

There was a hint of surprise in Little Putao's eyes, and she spun in mid-air, and quickly transformed into a beauty in a pink-purple fairy dress, oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and almond eyes.

Pursing her lips, she tilted her head playfully and smiled at Xia Ningxi: "Master, my lord, I'm going right now."

"she……"

Xia Ningxi's eyes widened in astonishment: "Isn't she the maid who took care of me at the Canglan Country Post Station! You actually teamed up to deceive me!"

"Well, it's her."

Yu Xuanzhen didn't have time to explain to her carefully, so he pushed her to the window: "You go too, if I haven't escaped in three days, remember to find me."

Although Xia Ningxi was worried, but after hearing what he said, she really couldn't stay any longer. The moment the door was knocked open, she jumped out of the window and onto the roof.

A group of officers and soldiers entered the door. Luo Qing, Ji Ziling, and Bai Luo in the next room were alarmed long ago. They drew their swords and stared fiercely at the officers and soldiers, sneering, "What do you mean? What mistake did my son make? Want to arrest someone?"

The leading officer sneered and said: "I don't know what mistake I made, but the second prince invited me, that's enough reason!" His eyes darkened, and he waved his hands to signal his subordinates to come forward.

Ji Ziling frowned, and was about to make a move, Yu Xuanzhen raised his hand to signal, and smiled calmly: "Since that's the case, the second prince is very kind, but this son is naturally disrespectful, so just let you go."

Ji Ziling couldn't hold back, and was about to step forward when Luo Qing pressed his hand and shook his head secretly.

Bai Luo stood near the railing from beginning to end. Yu Xuanzhen had already ordered him to do so, so he did not step forward.

Yu Xuanzhen took a deep breath, calmly followed the officers and soldiers downstairs, and walked outside.

Xia Ningxi listened carefully to the words of the officers and soldiers on the roof, and watched those people take Yu Xuanzhen away, and were about to leave, when the officers and soldiers behind took Luo Qing and Ji Ziling into custody.

Ji Ziling cursed, "What are you doing!"

Luo Qing frowned and shook his head, signaling him not to resist.

Ji Ziling snorted angrily, and had to be honestly tied up, and was escorted out of the inn.

The only one who survived was Bai Luo.

Xia Ningxi didn't dare to stay longer, watching the officers and soldiers escort Yu Xuanzhen into a carriage, but Luo Qing and Ji Ziling were not treated so well, and were pushed and shoved towards the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Without even thinking about it, Xia Ningxi quietly followed the carriage.

After a while, Yu Xuanzhen was taken to the other garden where Ming Miyu was located in the city.

At that time, when the autumn leaves were all gone, Ming Mirage was sitting in the flower hall leisurely and clinging to the teacup, her pair of phoenix eyes always carried the charm of a half-smile.

The officers and soldiers led Yu Xuanzhen into the flower hall, Ming Yuyu smiled and asked Yu Xuanzhen to take a seat, saying: "Prince Xuanzhen is here, please sit down."

Yu Xuanzhen was not too polite, and sat down on the side with a flat expression, and said: "The second prince invited me, I'm afraid it's not because I want to come here as a guest!"

Ming Miyu smiled, dismissed everyone in the hall, and said: "Prince Xuanzhen has a sip of hot tea first, let's talk slowly."

Yu Xuanzhen lowered his eyes indifferently, took a sip of tea from his teacup, and waited for him to continue.

The smile on Ming Miyu's face was deep, and her tone was cold for a moment: "It must be your fault that the Uncle Wangs in my feudal land in Chaoyue Kingdom are restless!"

Yu Xuanzhen smiled lightly: "I am a native of Tianchen Kingdom, and I don't know anyone in Chaoyue, so how can I see that these things are related to me?"

"The art of scheming lies in strategizing and decisively winning thousands of miles away. You don't need to spend a single soldier, but only use people's hearts to get things done. To be honest, even this king would be ashamed of himself."

Ming Miyu paused, then snorted lightly: "But your purpose has been too obvious from the very beginning, and I have noticed you a long time ago. Therefore, your plan is doomed to fail."

"Really?" Yu Xuanzhen disapproved.
