As the empress's youngest son, he was naturally as familiar with Liuxin as the crown prince himself. However, he never expected to meet her here!
Liu Xin raised her head and saw King Chen riding on the wall. Her face turned pale. She shouted and ran away.
Xiao Yiyan leaped lightly and landed in front of Liu Xin. She almost couldn't stop himself from crashing into his arms.
Liu Xin exclaimed again. She found out that she had nowhere to run. Her eyes filled with tears, "Are you here to bring me back to the palace?"
Xiao Yiyan was baffled. "Why did I capture you and bring you back to the palace?" He was very dissatisfied with his big brother Crown Prince's decision to force the heart of Liu Xin. However, it was not enough for him to turn hostile towards a young palace maid like the Crown Prince.
"Then why did Your Highness chase me here?"
"Oh, ah..." Isn't this the question This King should ask you? You really didn't die. Could it be that you wanted to faked your death to escape from the crown prince's brother? But did you escape to the Mo King's Manor because of fifth brother? "Not good, not good! Fifth brother hid you in a golden house and flirted with Li Yue. My fifth imperial sister-in-law was raised!"
A string of words made Liu Xin stare at him, not knowing where to start.
A voice came from outside, it was Windy who was gasping for breath. It was the voice of someone who was patting the door loudly, "Prince Chen …" Master... You... Hurry up and come out... That courtyard doesn't have … "No one …"
"No one?" Xiao Yiyan raised his eyebrows, "You want to play this trick with me? You want to say that this living creature in front of me isn't a human?"
Liu Xin bit her lower lip as she timidly took a step back.
The servant girl who was chasing after the cat stopped chasing. She could tell that something was wrong with the situation in front of her. She went up and shielded Liu Xin behind her with caution. "What are you planning to do with my wife?"
"I have to ask Fifth Brother, how can he be worthy of Fifth Sister in this way?"
"Prince Chen, it's not what you think." Liu Xin retorted in a low voice, "I was hidden here by Prince Mo to avoid the crown prince's search."
"If there's nothing, would he hide you here? Oh, that's not right. This little girl still calls you Madam. "
"She's not the wife of Prince Mo!" Liu Xin was close to tears. "It was Prince and Lady Li Yue who hid me here."
"Li Yue knows? "Why is that?"
"I can't say. If I say it, then it means that Prince Mo is being unjust." "Liu Xin bit her lower lip, her face pale but determined." If Prince Chen wants to bring me back to the palace, I will just die. "
Xiao Yiyan rubbed the center of his brows. The sound of keys opening the door came from outside as the wind continued to blow. He didn't want to make things difficult for Liu Xin. Although Xiao Yi Xiu definitely had some sort of secret behind her, it had nothing to do with him.
Windy finally opened the door and stumbled, "My little ancestor, Prince Chen, how did you get here?" When he looked again, there were two girls standing in the empty courtyard that he mentioned, and he couldn't help but laugh embarrassedly.
"There are not only two people here, there is also a cat." Xiao Yiyan went over and lifted an ear of Suifeng, "Tell me honestly, what did you hide from me?"
Although it was just a show, Suifeng still shouted, "It hurts, it hurts! That's not a pig's ear! "
"Bring This King to see Fifth Bro." Xiao Yiyan couldn't find any words to say from Suifeng. He was completely loyal to Xiao Yixiu, so there was no point in making things difficult for him anymore.
Xiao Yi Hen was quite surprised to see Xiao Yi Yan carrying Suifeng's ear as he entered the room.
"Yan, when did you become violent?" Xiao Yixiu swept an indifferent glance at Suifeng, who was clearly not in pain but was crying out in pain on purpose.
"You actually hid a girl in a golden house in the prince's mansion!" Xiao Yiyan let go of his hand, "This is punishing him for lying to me. I'm already in the courtyard, and he still dares to tell me through the door that there's no one inside!"
With his freedom, Suifeng quickly covered his ears and slipped out. He then said, "Prince Chen has seen Lady Liu Xin."
Naturally, Xiao Yi Xiu understood, and nodded. "You shouldn't have known about this, so you don't need to ask. What, you plan to tell the empress that I have hidden the palace maid? "
"No." Xiao Yiyan quickly made his stand. He knew that his identity was rather awkward, so he rarely came to the Prince Mo's estate. After all, the Empress and Imperial Concubine Lan had never been on good terms with each other, but this did not affect the relationship between the two brothers.
"But Liuxin... Is it related to your fight as well? " Xiao Yiyan instantly guessed something and felt the distance between him and him distancing.
Xiao Yixiu didn't answer, but looked deeply into his eyes.
Xiao Yiyan had always been outside of the forces of war, and had never participated in the harem battle or the battle for storage. However, this did not mean that he was completely unaware of the darkness behind all of this.
"I'm leaving." He pursed his lips, wanting to leave.
"Where's your fifth sister-in-law?"
"She? "I'm back to my room."
Xiao Yi Xiu's expression was calm, but his tone was cold. "Have you ever asked me before that?"
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Yi Yan's face became displeased, "You treated her badly, so how can you not let others treat her well? We know we're not alone, and let's not talk about the crowds on the main street, even if we're in private, I'll know what to do. "
Xiao Yi Xiu frowned slightly. "How have I treated her badly?"
"You like Miss Li Yue, right? You never used to be angry with me for a single Begonia! As for your fifth sister-in-law, you just treat her as your personal property. Although you don't want others to touch her, you treat her coldly all the time! "
The empress had planted so many spies in the Prince's Mansion, it was impossible for Xiao Yiyan to know nothing about it. Xiao Yixiu and Gu Qingli's cold relationship was something that the crown prince knew, and naturally, Xiao Yiyan knew as well.
Ever since he was young, this was the first time that Xiao Yixiu had seen the easy-going Xiao Yiyan's mood. He still frowned as he looked at him, but he didn't know what to say. He had always thought that even though he had reached adulthood and was still a childish person, the words that came out made him unable to refute them.
It was unknown when Xiaoyan left. He didn't even say goodbye.
When Xiao Yi Xiu came back to his senses, he lifted his arm and pinched the center of his brows. Forcing himself to think about the few pieces of information he had heard in the secret chamber today, he linked them together. There was nothing more important than his present situation and the poison in his body. He told himself that he should not think about useless things.
However, the figures of Li Yue and Gu Qing Li alternated and appeared in her mind. How could it be so easy to get rid of them?
The brocade woman came in noiselessly, and there was only one octopus tea on the mahogany tray. Although Xiao Yi Xiu didn't like maids serving him personally, Suifeng was a youth after all. He couldn't possibly be meticulous in everything he did, so there were quite a few maidservants in his courtyard. After moving to Gu Qing Li's place, Yu Ying was left with only Jin Shu. She was always smart and knew when to do something.
But today, as dusk was falling in the west, she had yet to prepare dinner.
Jin Shu asked softly, "Madam Jia asked if you would like to go to her place for dinner today? She personally prepared a table and is waiting for you. "
Lady Jia? Xiao Yixiu had almost forgotten about this person. She wasn't like Xin Ziyao or the others, who colluded with each other in private and always flaunted themselves in front of his eyes. As a result, she didn't particularly annoy him.
She thought of Imperial Concubine Lan just by mentioning her. She was an exceptionally tolerant woman. Perhaps she could stay hidden for ten years without making any unusual movements. Once she launched an attack, she would definitely hit. This kind of person was truly terrifying.
"Not going." He wasn't in the mood to deal with random people today.
"But Madam Jia said that Young Master Liu and Miss Luo returned from the Valley of the Godly Doctor today. As the host, she should be the host to receive them. If Your Highness is absent …"
"Whose host is she? "Even if we're talking about females, the princess is the leader in this residence."
"But the Princess went as well."
She really knew how to conduct herself! If he didn't go, it would be on the face of the Liu siblings. After all, they had done their best to treat him.
"Miss Li Yue, are you going?"
Jin Shu froze for a moment, an undetectable resentment in her eyes. "Miss Li Yue is not here. Madam Jia has sent someone to invite her."
Xiao Yi Xiu subconsciously let out a sigh of relief. For an occasion where an imperial concubine was present, it was better if Li Yue wasn't present.
