Gongsun Heng coldly glanced at Gongsun Yan, he did not admit nor deny it, and said indifferently: "When is it your turn to question my matters?"
Gongsun Yan was just about to blurt out the words, but she immediately swallowed them back, as fear rose in her heart.
Gongsun Heng had never been someone that she could question. Even if it was her royal father, he would probably never refute Gongsun Heng.
"I overstepped it." Gongsun Yan said softly.
Gongsun Heng placed the money on the table and walked back to his room alone. He left Gongsun Yan alone in the inn but he was not the least bit worried.
To him, Gongsun Yan had never been someone who could move him one bit.
Xuanyuan Chen, Xie Qingrong and Shen Haoxuan also returned to the inn. Xuanyuan Chen poured a cup of hot tea for himself before passing the embroidered box to Xie Qingrong.
Xie Qingrong opened the embroidered box, and impressively, there was a roll of parchment paper lying inside. She unfurled the parchment paper, and on it were markings and routes that they had never seen before.
"This map is a little bigger than the one Cen Huayue gave me. The route on it is also a little more detailed. Thinking about it, this piece of parchment paper should already be in the central area, and Cen Huayue's treasure map should be outside the map. " Xie Qingrong said as she placed the map on the table.
However, Shen Haoxuan used his fan to place the treasure map on the table. The casual smile on his handsome face had already disappeared, and replacing it was a serious expression. Esteemed wangfei, don't you think that Gongsun Heng's attitude today is too weird? "
Xuanyuan Chen lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea. His long eyelashes covered the unhappiness that flashed past his eyes.
"Indeed." Xie Qingrong squinted her eyes.
"I once heard a rumor that before the Ancient Kingdom completely disappeared, he hid a large amount of treasures in a hidden valley and drew them on a piece of parchment. They were divided into ten parts and handed them over to the top ten clans.
Shen Haoxuan finished speaking, took a sip of tea, and continued: "The six great clans must have a treasure map in their hands, this is certain, but the remaining four treasure map are gone without a trace. Right now, Princess Wangfei already has two treasure map in her hands, so she has to be careful in the future, after all, we have never found out who the people hiding in the shadows are."
Xie Qingrong squinted his eyes, covering the killing intent in his eyes, her fingers lightly knocked on the table, "Gongsun Heng gave me the treasure map, we still don't know his purpose for doing so. For the cruise ship two days from now, we might as well test it."
Xuanyuan Chen said: "Gongsun Heng is a Crown Prince of Chu, I'm afraid it will not be an easy thing to gather information from his mouth." Gongsun Heng was intelligent, at the age of ten, he had become a Crown Prince of Chu, and had made great contributions. For Chu Country to be able to become a great nation in a single leap, Gongsun Heng had done a great deal.
To be able to easily use the treasure map as a gift to him and A Rong, he must be feeling uneasy or had something to do.
"Your Highness, aside from this matter, there is another matter that requires Your Highness to decide." Shen Haoxuan said solemnly.
Xuanyuan Chen took a sip of the hot tea and frowned: "What's the matter?"
Shen Haoxuan folded his fan, and knocked on the table, "Gongsun Heng seems to be planning to use Princess An Qing to marry Heavenly Sage Kingdom, this news I cannot confirm, maybe it is a marriage alliance with Yue Country."
"But the problem is here. The only prince in Heavenly Sage Kingdom that Gongsun Heng has set his eyes on and used as an alliance for marriage is your highness. And after that bloody battle at the palace, there will no longer be a young prince in Royal Family of the State of Yue. There will only be the Regent King, Qi Yun.
Hearing that, Xuanyuan Chen's handsome eyebrows rose, "Does this king look like someone easy to talk to?"
Not only did Prince Chen not look like someone who was easy to talk to, he was also not someone who was easy to talk to in the first place. Shen Haoxuan rubbed his nose, mocking in his heart.
"Tsk." Xie Qingrong teased: "Looks like Your Highness' luck with women is quite good. In the past, there was a number one beauty in the capital who fell in love with Your Highness, and now there's a princess of An Nation, the most talented girl rushing to marry Your Highness. Even I is a little jealous."
A casual smile appeared on his face, but a trace of ridicule and danger flashed across his face.
"Cough, cough." Xuanyuan Chen coughed lightly, a look of awkwardness flashed past his handsome face, and he reached out to grab Xie Qingrong's hand to defend himself: "A Rong, you are the only one in my heart, I have never placed anyone else in my eyes. As for Ye Ningyu and Gongsun Yan, I am even more clueless. "
As he spoke, he even pretended to look wronged, "A Rong also has a lot of intimate friends. Previously, I was closer to Ji Rufeng and Gongsun Heng even gave the treasure map to him, so how could I not see it? It was because A Rong refused to accept it that Gongsun Heng borrowed such a clumsy excuse. "
He truly felt that Gongsun Heng had intentions to do something with Xie Qingrong, but what Gongsun Heng did was not obvious, but after carefully thinking about it, he could feel that Gongsun Heng treated Xie Qingrong differently.
As for Ji Rufeng, he really thought that Ji Rufeng had ulterior motives towards him previously, but later on he found out that Ji Rufeng could also be considered to be Xie Qingrong's cousin.
Xie Qingrong shook away from Xuanyuan Chen's palm, looked at Xuanyuan Chen with a smile that was not a smile, and leisurely drank a mouthful of hot tea. To vent your anger on me? "
Gongsun Heng gave her a gift? That was Gongsun Heng's problem, what did it have to do with her? As for Ji Rufeng, wasn't Xuanyuan Chen the same as her every time they crossed paths?
Even if the two of them were interested in her, they had never done anything excessive.
When he thought about it, Xie Qingrong originally pretended to be angry, but he didn't expect that the anger at the bottom of his heart was actually aroused. The expression in his eyes grew more unfriendly, and then the curve of his lips became wider and wider.
Xuanyuan Chen's heart trembled. He originally only wanted to tease Xie Qingrong a little, but didn't expect that he would actually enrage Xie Qingrong. He gave him a look, signalling him to quickly leave.
Shen Haoxuan originally wanted to stay and watch a good show, since there were not many who could make Xuanyuan Chen lose out, but after receiving Xuanyuan Chen's gaze, he could only give up, and unwillingly walked out.
"A Rong." Xuanyuan Chen held onto Xie Qingrong's hand once again, as if he wanted to explain himself, but was ridiculed by Xie Qingrong as he glanced at her, and immediately swallowed his words of explanation.
"I can understand that Your Highness is jealous, but when Your Highness is jealous, you must not speak carelessly." Xie Qingrong said indifferently, although his tone was cold, as usual, Xuanyuan Chen could hear the anger in his tone.
He quickly nodded: "A Rong, I promise, this won't happen a second time."
Xie Qingrong was amused by Xuanyuan Chen's serious expression and could not help but let out a laugh, "En."
In fact, she wasn't that angry either, she was just a little angry in her heart. However, after hearing Xuanyuan Chen's apology, her heart softened and her attitude became softer.
