C320 lobbyist

Xuanyuan Chen lightly glanced at Shen Haoxuan, the threat in his eyes made Shen Haoxuan immediately cover his mouth, yet Xuanyuan Chen did not accept his words, and leisurely said, "It seems like Hao Xuan still has the mind to care about this duke and Princess, it seems like Hao Xuan's work is too easy, why don't I assign you more tasks?"

Shen Haoxuan hurriedly begged for forgiveness, "Your Highness, I was wrong. "Princess, please speak up for me. After all, I'm thinking of you and Prince Lu." He wasn't willing to be held up by all the hustle and bustle of his life. The great rivers and mountains were waiting for him!

Seeing Shen Haoxuan acting like a monkey, Xie Qingrong could not help but sneer. It was Xuanyuan Chen's honor to have such a good friend.

"Chen, just let Haoxuan go. After all, Haoxuan is worried about our relationship." Xie Qingrong consoled her on the side.

Xuanyuan Chen withdrew his dangerous gaze from Shen Haoxuan's body and turned his gaze back to Xie Qingrong's body. In an instant, the danger in his eyes instantly disappeared, his expression softened, and a gentle curve appeared on his resolute face.

"For A Rong's sake, let's bypass you this time." Xuanyuan Chen said.

Shen Haoxuan curled his lips. He was clearly unhappy, and the grudge he had towards Xuanyuan Chen was quite deep. He obviously said all these to raise the vigilance of the Duke and Princess, but in the end, because of this mouth, he liked to talk too much, and thus was threatened by the Duke.

When Xuanyuan Chen, Xie Qingrong and the other two went back, they saw Xuanyuan Changge packing his things. Shen Haoxuan waved his fan around and smiled: "This is the first time I've seen Princess Changge packing his things up so consciously, preparing to return to the capital."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Changge put away the clothes in her hands that were half tidied up, rolled up her sleeves, and chased after Shen Haoxuan to beat him up.

After running for a long time, Shen Haoxuan was so tired that he could not breath, and immediately squatted down to catch his breath.

Xuanyuan Changge was also extremely tired. Just as she was about to lie down, she saw that Shen Haoxuan was also exhausted, and immediately jumped in front of Shen Haoxuan and heavily patted his back.

With a loud smack, it was extremely loud.

Before Shen Haoxuan could say anything, Xuanyuan Changge's face immediately flushed red because of the voice. When Lin Mu saw Xuanyuan Changge's blushing face, he immediately pulled Xuanyuan Changge behind him.

He changed the topic: "Reporting to Your Highness, yesterday Ji Rufeng had sent someone to deliver a letter, inviting Your Highness and the wangfei to meet tomorrow and ask Your Highness to decide."

Very quickly, everyone's attention was diverted by Lin Mu, and even Shen Haoxuan, who had been heavily hit, had his attention diverted away as well.

"Your Highness, why has this Ji Rufeng repeatedly invited you and your wife out? I'm afraid he has another motive." Shen Haoxuan added fuel to the fire, as if he had personally witnessed it himself.

Xuanyuan Chen helplessly stroked his forehead. They seemed to have forgotten to tell Shen Haoxuan and everything that had happened at the Ji Mansion that day, including the fact that Ji Cangming was Xie Qingrong's father.

Giving Xie Qingrong a helpless look, Xuanyuan Chen indifferently said: "Since it's an invitation from Ji Rufeng, there must definitely be a reason behind it. A Rong, come with me, I want you to investigate this matter from Ji Rufeng's mouth."

Xie Qingrong nodded and agreed.

It was only then that Shen Haoxuan realized something was wrong from Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong's reactions. The Duke had previously been so hostile towards Ji Rufeng, but why had he suddenly disappeared all of a sudden?

What had happened in his absence? Why hadn't anyone told him?

Seeing Shen Haoxuan's doubtful gaze and wandering expression, Xuanyuan Chen knew that Shen Haoxuan's brain had probably thought of many things, and interrupted his thoughts.

"Haoxuan, this is a long story. After we return to the Prince Chen's Mansion, I'll explain in detail that this isn't a place to talk about these things." Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently.

Although this was his tent, and was considered safe enough, it was hard to prevent the walls from having ears. If such a secret was heard by someone, it would affect Xie Qingrong and the rest of the General Xie.

Once the General Xie's prestige in the army fell, the morale of the army would probably be affected too.

When Xuanyuan Chen pushed open the door and entered the room, he saw Ji Rufeng gracefully holding onto a wine cup previously, with a touch of white between his slender fingers, adding a bit of wordless charm.

"This king has discovered that ever since this king came to the Mo Bei, the people I have seen the most were not the soldiers in the army, but the Ji gongzi." Xuanyuan Chen laughed as he poured himself a cup of wine.

He slowly savored the taste.

"This means that I am fated to be with Your Highness." Ji Rufeng laughed faintly, the smile between her brows was extremely faint.

"Since fate has brought it, this king will toast the Ji gongzi." Xuanyuan Chen cupped his wine cup towards Ji Rufeng.

Although Xie Qingrong had yet to recognize him, both Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong knew that Ji Cangming was Xie Qingrong's biological father without a doubt.

Back then, Shang Zhiqing had once said that her father had gone to the Misty Mountain to fetch the metazoan flower to save her mother. And just before they were about to enter the Misty Mountain, Shen Haoxuan had told them that someone had entered the Misty Mountain before.

When many coincidences were mixed together, it wasn't a coincidence, but a fact that someone was deliberately concealing.

Therefore, Xie Qingrong was already certain that Ji Cangming was her own father. It was just that she couldn't accept that she had an extra father for a while. In other words, she couldn't treat a stranger as his father.

Xuanyuan Chen's actions gave Ji Rufeng enough face, after all, he could be considered as Xie Qingrong's older cousin. Although with his identity, he didn't have to do such things to curry favor with others, he still had to give the least amount of respect to Ji Rufeng.

Obviously, Ji Rufeng had also thought of this, and decisively poured wine once again for himself. He returned it back to Xuanyuan Chen, and then finished the wine in his cup in one gulp.

He smiled and said, "Today, I have two matters to discuss with you two."

He had a serious attitude and a tone of discussion.

Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong could not refuse.

"If Ji gongzi has something to say, feel free to say it, don't hesitate to say it." Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently.

"This matter is related to the Princess Consort Chen." Ji Rufeng said with a smile. He set his gaze on Xie Qingrong, who was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something. It seemed like what Ji Rufeng wanted to say should be related to her biological father, Ji Cangming.

"Ji gongzi came to be a lobbyist?" Xie Qingrong asked. If Ji Rufeng had come to be her lobbyist, she would probably not have the patience to listen to Ji Rufeng's story.

Ji Rufeng shook his head, and said: "I am not here as a lobbyist, it is just that I do not understand, and hope that Princess Consort Chen can help me resolve this."
