After Lu Fengyi left with his maid, Xie Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Meng Huaijun is still here, if Lu Fengyi continues to think wildly, it may damage his image as a prince.
"Your Highness."
After a moment of silence, Meng Huaijun suddenly spoke, "That Lu Fengyi from before..." His heartfelt voice.
For some reason, the word "heartfelt" came to his lips. He tried several times but couldn't get it out. Meng Huaijun had no choice but to say: "Did His Highness also hear it?"
"yes."
Xie Xi nodded and admitted.
He thought before that he would be the only one who heard Lu Fengyi's inner voice.
But now that he met Meng Huaijun, Xie Xi had an inexplicable intuition that maybe he and Meng Huaijun were not the only ones who could hear their voices in the future.
However, according to Xie Xi's observation, none of the servants, maids, and guards in the prince's residence seemed to be able to hear, nor could the fourth brother and his guards...
As for being able to hear Lu Fengyi's inner voice, just now Lu Fengyi thought about His Highness wanting her to sleep with her. Meng Huaijun felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, "Then Your Highness, do you know the reason?"
Hearing this, Xie Xi suddenly fell into deep thought.
He could hear it probably because Lu Fengyi's tasks were all related to him.
So it seems that Meng Huaijun can hear it because of him?
Meng Huaijun came to the Prince's Mansion precisely because he heard Lu Fengyi's thoughts.
Thinking of this, Xie Xi's face softened, "Maybe it's because of loneliness."
Meng Huaijun looked shocked: "Because of Your Highness?"
Xie Xi hummed in a low voice.
As for the reason, he couldn't say more.
Meng Huaijun was also very discerning. When His Highness stopped talking, he understood and started talking about another matter: "Your Highness, Xiao Sheng also heard about the fourth prince's murder of Xiao Sheng's mother from Lu Fengyi. …”
"That must be true."
Xie Xi didn't know why his fourth brother wanted to kill Meng Huaijun's mother, but he would definitely send someone to investigate and get to the bottom of this matter.
Hearing this, Meng Huaijun's face turned serious and he thanked him again: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"However, Xiaosheng still has a question."
Xie Xi: "Tell me and listen."
Meng Huaijun hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Between Your Highness and the Fourth Prince..."
No wonder he hesitated. His Highness and the Fourth Prince were both descended from the Queen. They were brothers. If the truth was found out in the end and the murderer was indeed the Fourth Prince, would His Highness really not care about brotherhood?
Xie Xi understood the unfinished meaning of Meng Huaijun's words. He pursed his lips and did not answer Meng Huaijun's question. Instead, he asked another question: "I wonder if Young Master Huaijun knows anyone in Jiangnan?"
Lu Fengyi mentioned that Meng Huaijun had connections in Jiangnan, and it was with the help of those connections that the fourth brother was able to successfully handle the Jiangnan bribery case.
Meng Huaijun was shocked again and subconsciously asked: "How did your Highness know this?"
Xie Xi smiled and said nothing, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Meng Huaijun reacted immediately: "Is it Lu Fengyi?"
Xie Xi: "Exactly."
Meng Huaijun took a breath and said in disbelief: "Your Highness, Lu Fengyi is so powerful that she can even know that Xiaosheng has made friends in Jiangnan?"
In this way, Lu Fengyi is indeed quite powerful.
However, such a powerful Lu Fengyi will only be loyal to him.
Xie Xi's heart softened, and he couldn't help but think that if Lu Fengyi insisted on sleeping with him, he wouldn't be able to accept it?
Although there are Concubine Xiao and Zhang Liangyuan in the prince's residence, Xie Xi has never stepped into their room...
Xie Xi thought: Why not go to Lu Fengyi's place tonight?
"Lu Fengyi has her own information channels. I don't know where she got it."
Xie Xi didn't want Meng Huaijun to know that there were other secrets about Lu Fengyi.
"However, I can answer your question just now, Master Huaijun."
Meng Huaijun: "Your Highness, please speak."
Xie Xi said one word at a time: "If the fourth brother really killed your mother with his own hands, then I will definitely find a way to get him punished."
The emperor broke the law and was as guilty as the common people, not to mention that the fourth brother was just a prince now.
"good."
Meng Huaijun suddenly stood up.
He took a step back and knelt down towards Xie Xi.
Meng Huaijun raised his eyes with a solemn and solemn expression: "With these words from Your Highness, I am willing to do everything for His Highness in my life, even if I die!"
Xie Xi also stood up and stretched out his right hand towards Meng Huaijun, "Master Huaijun, get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Meng Huaijun stood up and was about to speak when he saw His Highness the Crown Prince looking outside the pavilion and raising his hand to signal him to remain silent.
Meng Huaijun also looked over.
But I saw a woman dressed as a maid coming towards me.
Soon, the woman arrived outside the pavilion.
"This slave has met His Highness."
Xie Xi recognized the maid in front of him. She was Xiao Shuyi's personal maid. She was brought here from the Xiao family. Her name seemed to be...
Green onions?
Why did Xiao Shuyi suddenly send Qing Cong here to look for him?
Xie Xi was confused and walked out of the pavilion.
He stood on the steps, looked down at Qing Cong, and said, "But something happened to Concubine Xiao?"
Qing Cong lowered her head and said, "When I return to His Highness, the concubine would like to ask Your Highness to come over. She said that she has something urgent to discuss with His Highness."
Urgent?
Xie Xi couldn't think of anything urgent about Xiao Shuyi's side, but he remembered Mu Qing mentioned that Xiao Shuyi went back to the Xiao family today. Could it be that something happened to the Xiao family?
"Okay, I know this."
Xie Xidao: "Go back and tell your master first, I will be there in a moment."
"yes."
Qing Cong responded, stood up and left.
Meng Huaijun came back to his senses and said in a respectful tone: "If His Highness has other things to do, I will leave you alone."
After saying that, he paused and said: "Also, Xiaosheng lives in the Luoyang Inn on the west side of the city. If His Highness wants Xiaosheng to do something, just send someone to deliver the message."
Since coming to Shengjing for so long, Meng Huaijun has only earned some money by copying books and paying accommodation fees in inns, but he can't even afford a house.
"Luoyang Inn?"
Xie Xi suddenly smiled. He took out a wooden token from his arms, with the words "Luoyang Inn" engraved on it.
Xie Xi handed the wooden token to Meng Huaijun: "Master Huaijun, this is a specially made token for Luoyang Inn. With this token, you can always stay free of board and lodging fees."
"this……"
Meng Huaijun did not accept it. He stepped back and refused: "Your Highness, I cannot accept it from a young man."
"The young student can support himself by copying books and can also afford the accommodation fee."
"Why can't you accept it?"
Xie Xi raised his eyebrows and insisted on giving the wooden token to Meng Huaijun: "Since you are going to do things for Gu in the future, what's wrong with Gu giving you a token first?"
Meng Huaijun: "..."
Unable to refuse His Highness's kindness, Meng Huaijun could only accept the token and leave.
