Xiao Yueze silently clenched the sword at his waist. He lowered his eyes and looked at Cang Minglang, who was still scolding the secret guard in the palace, with murderous intent in his eyes.
But what Mu Xing said was right, everything he did was for Shenluoxi. If he did it, it would implicate Shenluoxi, then everything he did would be meaningless.
Hao Yan understood now, and looked at Xiao Yueze with a serious expression.
"You are too courageous. You actually want to kill the prince. Such a big thing is not something you can do with your willpower."
"This is not the place to talk. We will talk at Wangyun Tower."
Xiao Yueze had no objection and gave Cang Minglang one last look before turning around and leaving with them.
In the evening, Xiao Yueze returned to the palace.
As soon as he jumped into the yard, he looked up and saw Shen Luoxi and Cang Yunxuan sitting together and talking. He frowned subconsciously.
Cang Yunxuan saw him coming and said without hesitation: "As a guard, he left his post without permission. If you don't discipline him well, aren't you afraid that he will bite you back in the future?"
"The dog still needs to be tied up with a leash. How about letting him roam around?"
When he said this, he saw Xiao Yueze's expression became more provocative and disdainful.
Xiao Yueze's face was expressionless, as if he had not heard these words. He just stood silently next to Shen Luoxi and poured her a cup of tea.
Shen Luoxi took a sip and said in a calm voice: "How I discipline my subordinates has nothing to do with the prince."
"Compared with this, the prince should be worried about entering the palace tomorrow."
Cang Yunxuan's eyes flashed. He had been back in Beijing for three days, and he should really get down to business.
He looked at Shenluoxi and said, "You will come with me tomorrow."
Shen Luoxi raised her eyebrows, but did not refuse Cang Yunxuan's request. Then she took out a bottle of medicine from the space and pushed it in front of Cang Yunxuan, "After taking this medicine, the prince can go to rest."
"There are a lot of things to be busy with tomorrow, please don't be overwhelmed, Your Majesty."
Cang Yunxuan nodded, picked up the medicine, drank it, stood up, and walked into the room.
But when passing Xiao Yueze, Cang Yunxuan glanced at him meaningfully, moved her mouth slightly, and then looked away.
Xiao Yueze's face dropped coldly, and his hand hanging on one side secretly clenched into a fist.
"There are a lot of eyes staring at me now. Be careful next time you go out and don't let anyone plot against you." Shen Luoxi said.
Xiao Yueze was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Princess, aren't you going to ask me where I've been?"
Shen Luoxi smiled and said, "No need, you always have your own things to do. I only have one request for you, pay attention to your safety."
"As for what others say, I don't take it to heart because I believe you."
Xiao Yueze tightened his hands, feeling both happy and bitter in his heart.
If Shen Luoxi knew his true identity, would Shen Luoxi be disappointed in him?
Just thinking that Shen Luoxi would look at him with cold eyes made him feel hard to breathe.
"Princess, I..."
The words had reached Xiao Yueze's lips, but he swallowed them back.
As if she had expected it, Shen Luoxi said, "You don't have to force yourself to say what you don't want to say. It's never too late for you to say what you want to say."
After saying that, she walked into the room.
Xiao Yueze looked at her back and pursed his lips.
…
The next day, Shen Luoxi asked Xueyu to help Cang Yunxuan dress up before taking him out of the yard. As a result, she met Ning Yanran who came to see her.
Ning Yanran looked at Shen Luoxi and found that there was an extra guard beside her, so she couldn't help but take a second look.
"Where is sister going so early? And there is an extra guard... When did sister find her?"
"I thought it was enough for my sister to have Young Master Xiao."
She thought it meant something and gave Xiao Yueze a look. Xiao Yueze's expression remained unchanged, but she didn't notice that the guard who lowered his head tightened his hands.
"Do I need to inform my sister about what I want to do?" Shen Luoxi said coldly.
Ning Yanran froze, "I just want to care about my sister. After all, my sister has just recovered..."
"Sister, I'm worried. I just need to take good care of the baby and wait for the prince to come back."
After Shen Luoxi finished speaking, Cang Yunxuan looked at her immediately, but she didn't even give Cang Yunxuan a glance, and strode out of the palace with her feet raised.
When Shen Luoxi got on the carriage, Cang Yunxuan lowered her voice and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about Yanran's pregnancy?"
"After the prince came back, he didn't take the initiative to ask about my sister." Shen Luoxi replied calmly, "The prince only cares about his own affairs, why should I tell him everything about the house like a maid?"
"To avoid being exposed, it would be better for the prince not to speak before entering the palace."
Cang Yunxuan gritted her teeth, unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.
If there wasn't something more important at the moment, he would never have endured it!
He took a deep breath and calmed down. Xiao Yueze had separated him from the carriage at some point. As long as he came close, Xiao Yueze would look at him coldly.
The two looked at each other silently, and Xiao Yueze looked away after a moment.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.
At this time, it was time to go to court. Many officials were waiting outside the palace gate to click their bows. When they saw Shen Luoxi getting out of the carriage, they all looked away.
Master Kong was the first to step forward and said: "Seeing Princess Xuan, I didn't expect that the princess would come into the palace at this time. But the emperor and the prince were sick, so they summoned the princess into the palace?"
Shen Luoxi smiled and said, "The Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince are in good health. I only came to the palace to greet the Emperor on behalf of the Prince."
When Mr. Kong heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. The news of Cang Yunxuan falling off the cliff had already spread throughout the capital. Did Shen Luoxi not know about it?
He immediately darkened his face, "Princess, Prince, he..."
"Go to court!"
The eunuch's loud shout interrupted Master Kong's words. Master Kong's face was full of tangles. Shen Luoxi smiled and said: "Master Kong, please go in quickly. Don't delay going to court."
Master Kong had no choice but to leave first, but before leaving, he said to Shen Luoxi: "If the princess has some time to spare after paying her respects to the emperor, I hope I have something to say to the princess."
Shen Luoxi nodded, Master Kong breathed a sigh of relief, saluted her before turning around and leaving.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if Cang Yunxuan could come back safely, as long as Shen Luoxi was around, there might be another chance.
Because he could see that Shen Luoxi was no ordinary woman. As long as she wanted it, Cang Yunxuan would surely ascend to the throne in the future, even if Cang Minglang was the crown prince.
In the court hall, after the officials reported the recent official affairs to the emperor, Cang Minglang walked to the front of the hall.
"Your Majesty, the life and death of King Xuan has been uncertain for more than half a month. The Yun Kingdom is still watching with eager eyes. I want to give King Xuan a grand burial, but for the sake of the stability of the Jing Kingdom, I have no choice but to wrong King Xuan."
"My son wants to release the news now to let Yun Guo know that King Xuan has returned safely. This will surely shock Yun Guo and keep the border safe."
The emperor frowned slightly and was about to answer when Shen Luoxi walked in with two guards.
Cang Minglang heard the footsteps and turned to face her delicate face, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Bold! It's time to go to court. Princess Xuan entered without being summoned. She clearly doesn't take the emperor seriously!"
Shen Luoxi smiled and said, "I don't dare, but I really don't agree with what His Highness the Crown Prince said."
Cang Minglang frowned, and then saw the guard behind Shen Luoxi tearing off his human skin mask, revealing Cang Yunxuan's face.
