Wu Zechen looked at her and felt that the feeling of boredom in his heart suddenly disappeared, leaving him with an indescribable feeling, but it wasn't a bad feeling.
However, he still had that sullen expression on his face, and he called out as if he was displeased: "Wu Qi."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black figure quietly appeared in the room.
"Your Majesty."
The aura of the black figure is very light. If you don't see him here with your own eyes, you may miss his presence by mistake.
This person must be the secret guard.
Xia Luotong looked at Wu Qi, thoughtfully, but Wu Qi gave her a somewhat familiar feeling. Wasn't he the secret guard who was ordered to monitor her before?
"Wu Qi, you will follow her from now on and obey her orders." There was a moment's delay in Wu Zechen's words, but it was too slight and no one noticed it.
Just now, he almost called "her" "Princess" for a moment. Could it be that he has slowly begun to accept this identity that he does not recognize? What does this mean?
Maybe he really meant more to her than just saving her life...
Wu Qi paused for a moment, obviously not expecting that his prince would give such an order. This was the first time he had ever done so since he became a secret guard, and it was something he had never heard of among the secret guards.
"I obey my orders."
Although he was surprised, Wu Qi did not have the slightest objection. He immediately accepted the order, then turned to look at Xia Luotong and said: "Miss, I will be guarding you. If you need anything, just call me."
Wu Qi actually hesitated before speaking. After all, he didn't dare to call her "Princess" casually. He knew that the prince and Manager Zhang still called her Miss Xia, so he simply followed them in calling her that way. alright.
Xia Luotong had no objection to Wu Qi's title. First of all, she didn't think she was Princess An. Secondly, she also knew very well that even if Wu Qi obeyed her, it would only be during her time in the palace. Forget it, his master is always Prince An, and the day he leaves the palace, he will eventually return to his real master.
"You are the secret guard who has been ordered to follow me before, right?" Xia Luotong did not ask Wu Qi to leave immediately, but suddenly said.
Wu Qixin was startled and subconsciously looked up at Xia Luotong. Then he realized that this was inappropriate and quickly lowered his head, but he still saw the determination in her eyes.
He was shocked. How did she find out that he was the secret guard who followed and monitored her before? He was very sure that he had never appeared in front of her before, and it was obviously impossible for the prince to have only one secret guard!
He knew that although Xia Luotong didn't know martial arts and had no internal strength, he was very good at poisoning. Now that he had discovered his identity so strangely, he couldn't help but look at her with admiration again, and even felt a bit of awe.
Although Wu Qi did not answer Xia Luotong's question, his reaction already explained the answer. Xia Luotong chuckled silently, and then asked him to leave without saying anything more.
Seeing Wu Qina disappearing faster than when he appeared, she couldn't help but feel satisfied that her goal had been achieved.
Wu Qi is Prince An's man. Even if he needs to take orders from him next, it does not mean that he will be willing to follow his own wishes completely and execute every order of his, so that Wu Qi can complete it better in the future. She believed that it was necessary for her to give him a beating for what she had explained without being "self-righteous".
The first thing is to let him know that he is not easy to fool, and at the same time, he is not someone he can despise.
Judging from Wu Qi's reaction just now, her goal was achieved.
Xia Luotong's actions did not shy away from anyone. She was so straightforward that she believed that a smart person like Wu Zechen would be able to see her intention.
Wu Zechen did see what she was thinking, but strangely, he was not angry at all, and there was a very light smile and appreciation in his eyes.
Without making any comment on Xia Luotong's move, he turned to frown and asked another matter: "When we were at Qianyuan Temple, not only Wu's family was hunted down, but you were also hunted down?"
He only discovered this matter when he sent someone to investigate just now. Xia Luotong didn't mention it originally, so he didn't expect that something like this happened here.
Mu Jinyu on the side immediately yelled when he heard this, with a look of surprise and worry on his face. He leaned over and wanted to check Xia Luotong again, but was stopped again.
"I'm fine. All the unavoidable attacks were blocked by the Wu family, so I wasn't hurt at all." Xia Luotong comforted Mu Jinyu, and then said in a deep voice, "I was indeed attacked. We were chasing him, and the other party hired a professional killer, but his skills were average and he was not a master."
"Do you know who is behind the scenes?" Although Wu Zechen asked, he had actually found out, but he was a little curious whether Xia Luotong had already made some inferences.
Now, he is becoming more and more curious about her, and wants to know more and more about her thoughts and all her reactions, so that he can have a deeper understanding of her...
"We can basically lock the target." Xia Luotong nodded.
"Who is it? Tell me." Wu Zechen suddenly spoke, intending to ask to the end, which surprised Xia Luotong.
However, she still spoke, with a hint of coldness in her voice: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Zhao Qiulan and Xie Fenfen. I saw these two hiding not far away when I escaped from the yard. It was obvious He was spying on my yard."
"The clothes they wore at that time looked familiar. Now that I think about it, they should have seen me when I was meeting the general's carriage in the capital, so I immediately hired a killer to follow me all the way. Genji came to kill me.”
Xia Luotong's brain was spinning rapidly, and she quickly remembered some of the details, including the dress she vaguely saw at the entrance of the alley not far away when she was preparing to board the General's Mansion carriage in the capital. It also overlapped with the clothes worn by the two people in Qianyuan Temple at that time.
By this time, she could almost conclude that Zhao Qiulan and Xie Fenfen were the two people who sent the killers to kill her. However, she did not expect that it would be these two people who would deal such a cruel blow to her.
The matter between her and these two women was just a misunderstanding at the beginning, but who knew that these two women could actually press on her step by step because of their unwarranted jealousy, and even now directly hire murderers to kill her!
She could ignore the little fights she had made before. Even if she used some small tricks to fight back, it would only be over in three to five days. But now that she is at this point, where she is buying her murder, she will never be able to do it again. Forget it easily!
