Inside the hall, Xiao Suyan's personal servant, Xiao Li, quietly came to report to Xiao Suyan, saying that the prince had summoned Princess Qi Xu Rouzhi, who was with him for a meeting. The two chatted and laughed in the hall for a while, before asking Xiao Suyan if she wanted to be on guard.

Xiao Suyan was startled: Why did the King summon Xu Rouzhi?

Sorrowless said, "After I learned about this, I secretly followed you to listen for a bit. However, it was too far away, so I couldn't hear clearly." It seemed like she had heard from the Princess Qi that she had come for the Prince, and that if her father had not dared to, she might have been granted the title of Duke!

What? Xiao Suyan opened her eyes in shock. How was this possible? How could the Princess Qi say such words?

Perhaps this servant heard wrong? Xiao Suyan's reaction made Xiao Li panic, and her tone was immediately uncertain.

What did the prince say?

Prince seems to be saying that if the Prince Qi did not beat him to it, what the Princess Qi had just said would be a good idea.

Xiao Suyan could not believe her own ears! What else? What else did the Prince say?!

Xiao Suyan's expression made Xiao Li nervous, but she had already reached this point, so she could only bite the bullet and continue: The King also said that the most suitable people in this world are missing each other out, it really makes me feel helpless.

Xiao Suyan was shocked!

This, was actually what Helian Cheng had said to Xu Rouzhi? How could there be such a meaning between them?

No, no, no, that's impossible!

She said: "This servant may have heard wrongly, but I hope that wangfei will not be upset. I am just afraid that I will have to be on guard against that Princess Qi more often."

Xiao Suyan sat down in a daze.

Then, Your Highness, where are you now? Xiao Suyan raised her head, her expression at a loss.

His Royal Highness had just ordered Imperial Guard Wu to send the Princess Qi back to the Western Palace before he entered the palace!

Xiao Suyan was stunned, tears were actually flowing out of her eyes.

He knelt in front of Xiao Suyan, grabbed her sleeve and cried: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have listened in, I shouldn't have told Princess Consort about this. I was wrong, I was wrong! I, your servant, shouldn't have listened in!"

Go, Xiao Suyan interrupted Xiao Li and invited my brother over.

Xiao Li froze for a moment before immediately standing up. "This servant will go right now."

Hurriedly rushing over, looking at Xiao Suyan's tear-stained face, Xiao Ran was startled. On the way, Xiao Li had already told him the whole story. Xiao Ran had already mentally prepared for this, but he was still surprised to see Xiao Suyan crying so much. He sat down and looked at Xiao Suyan: Xiao Li has already told me everything.

Xiao Suyan grabbed Xiao Ran's hand and cried: What do we do, brother?

Su Yan, calm down first. Xiao Ran said softly. Little Li also said that they were too far away to hear it clearly. Don't be in such a hurry to feel bad, clear things up first.

I don't think Xiao Li misheard! Xiao Suyan was originally related to the Duke in the first place. Three years ago, the Duke went to visit the Ji City, so he might have met Xu Rouzhi then! I always thought that the one that the Duke was thinking about was Princess Zhuo Hua, but maybe it is actually Xu Rouzhi?

Little Li was stunned! She opened her eyes wide and said, yes, I seem to have heard the Duke say that the temperament of the Princess Qi was somewhat similar to that of Princess Zhuo Hua, that they were all lively and quick-witted, that they were also a little willful, and that the headstrong woman was very adorable, that every man has a beautiful woman in his heart.

Xiao Suyan stared blankly at him as tears welled up in her eyes again. Brother, did you hear that? The Prince actually said this, could it be a lie?

Xiao Ran couldn't help but frown and turn towards Little Li: "Are you sure you understand, Little Li?" Didn't they say that the distance between them was too far, so it didn't sound too clear?

Xiao Li immediately stuttered. I am indeed quite far away, but I think I heard the prince say so. Lord Xiao, this, this kind of thing, I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case! What if it really was like this?

Xiao Ran was unhappy: The thing that I cannot confirm is catching wind and catching shadows. Didn't you cause the wangfei to worry for nothing?

However, Xiao Suyan said: "No, I believe that Xiao Li is right." That day in the Yucai City Army Camp, King Jie had said that he did not wish for his Eastern Barbarian to send troops to fight for the Dongluo, because he still missed Princess Zhuo Hua, so he loved the house and did not have the heart to attack the Dongluo. I still did not believe that it was true, but right now it seems that what King Jie had said was true, I am afraid that the Duke did not have the heart to attack the Dongluo, and there is also the reason Xu Rouzhi! If it were not for the two of them, how could the prince possibly give up after a second time and agree to the withdrawal of an army from the Kang City?

After the Fire Tree Silver Flower Array was broken, the Princess Qi used the poison of fish gall to prevent our army from launching an attack. Furthermore, the tens of thousands of soldiers in Ping Sha City had gathered on the battlefield to provide support for the Duke with Kang City, in that situation, if we did not withdraw in time, we would be met with the counterattack from the Dongluo.

But I don't believe that your highness can think of a way to use a formation like the Silver Flower of the Fire Tree to defeat the enemy. Can't you think of another way to take down the Kang City? He must have considered that Xu Rouzhi was inside the Kang City, and didn't have the heart to attack!

Xiao Ran became silent. Once a woman had decided something, it was very difficult to correct it.

However, as Xiao Suyan's older cousin, Xiao Suyan's interests would naturally affect her own interests. If Helian Cheng was truly moved by Xu Rouzhi, not only would Xiao Suyan's position be affected, even he would not be able to escape the doom.

Therefore, if he wanted to protect himself, he had to protect Xiao Suyan's position within the Prince Jing’s Masion well, and remove the threat that he posed to Xiao Suyan.

Xiao Ran patted the back of Xiao Suyan's hand and comforted him: "Alright, don't be too sad, you have to clarify this matter first and then make a decision. I won't let anyone infringe on your rights.

The flames of hope immediately ignited in Xiao Suyan's heart. What can I do? she asked urgently.

Xiao Ran said: First, let's make sure if that Xu Rouzhi is related to the Duke or not!

Good, good! Xiao Suyan said excitedly, I can arrange for people to go to the west hall to listen in!

Xiao Ran waved his hand. No, there was no use in monitoring the West Palace. I'll arrange it! You don't have to worry about this anymore.

Xiao Suyan said with tears in her eyes: Then I'll be troubling you brother! If the Duke really has feelings for Xu Rouzhi, brother must not be lenient, and definitely must not leave this threat by our side!

Xiao Ran nodded, I understand.

On the other side of the west hall, when Qi Yu returned, he sat down quietly under the window and looked out at the leaves swaying in the wind.

What are you thinking about? Above his head, Chu Yixuan said with a low voice.

Cough cough. He sat on top of her head for a long time, yet she unexpectedly did not see him. This was truly rare. At least she should have been angry with him. After all, he had hurt her and let her down.

Qi Yu looked at him. I'm thinking about something, don't affect me.

Chu Yixuan immediately choked.

Did King Jing say something to you? he asked.

What do you think? Qi Yu scoffed, other men called your woman over for a private chat, yet you didn't feel anything, how could I not feel anything!?

Chu Yixuan covered his mouth and coughed twice, taking care of his Qi, his pale white face revealed a smile: King Jing will not hurt you.

Then aren't you afraid that he will like me and give you a green hat?

Chu Yixuan quietly looked into Qi Yu's eyes. After a long while, he did not say a word.

Just as she walked out of the Western Palace gate, hearing these words, Xiao Suyan was stunned!

Seeing Xiao Suyan's body starting to tremble slightly, Xiao Li immediately tried to support him nervously. She wanted to speak, but Xiao Suyan raised her trembling hands to stop Xiao Li.

She wanted to continue listening. She wanted to hear what the two people in the room had to say!

Originally, she wanted to chat with Xu Rouzhi about normal things. She wanted to see if she could get any information out of those insinuations. For example, had Xu Rouzhi and Helian Cheng met before? If there wasn't, then Helian Cheng would at most see Xu Rouzhi as Princess Zhuo Hua's substitute and it wouldn't be too dangerous. However, if they had already known each other from the Ji City, then things would be much more serious!

However, she never thought that when Xu Rouzhi asked her husband if she was afraid that she would put on a green hat for him before she even started chatting about him.

Xiao Suyan's entire body shivered, she had a feeling that she was unable to control her own emotions!

What did Xu Rouzhi's words mean? Why didn't that Prince Qi from the Dongluo speak? Shouldn't such things be taboo to men?

Inside the house, Chu Yixuan stared at Qi Yu silently. After a long while, he said: "That's impossible."

How do you know him? Qi Yu asked.

Chu Yixuan was silent for a moment, then said: "With my understanding of King Jing, I believe that he is not such a person."

Ha! Qi Yu sneered, you really trust him!

What do you mean? Chu Yixuan frowned slightly.

Yes, this is also what Xiao Suyan wanted to ask! She also wanted to know what Xu Rouzhi meant by those words. Could it be that Helian Cheng was not worth believing?

Chu Yixuan asked in reply, but Qi Yu did not answer. After a few grunts, she turned her head towards the window.

Chu Yixuan was not angry, he only patted on the side: Come over.

Qi Yu glared at him in frustration.

Come here. Chu Yixuan's tone carried an additional tone of command.

Qi Yu said stubbornly: "I can't say it."

Didn't you say that you came to share the suffering with me?

I could have come for someone else!

Chu Yixuan was silent.

Looking at Qi Yu, his expression stiffened, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

Outside, Xiao Suyan's face had already turned white! She bit her lip, her body shaking violently. Unexpectedly, it was true! Xiao Li didn't hear wrongly, that Xu Rouzhi really didn't come here for Chu Yixuan?

Could it be, she really came for Helian Cheng!

Xiao Suyan clenched her fists tightly, controlling the impulse to kick the door open and enter. After a long while, she gritted her teeth, turned and walked out.

Xiao Li hurriedly followed Xiao Suyan until they were far away, then called out: "Princess!"

Xiao Suyan clenched her teeth tightly and said with a trembling voice. She had to be fast, she had to be fast!
