Sleeping in the same bed...
Xie Xi had never thought of this before, but now he felt a little uncomfortable listening to Lu Xiaoxiao's inner voice.
Especially Lu Xiaoxiao's gaze drifting towards him secretly.
[Your Highness shouldn’t mind, right? 】
Xie Xi: "..."
In the past half month, he and Lu Xiaoxiao were the only ones alone in the carriage. Xie Xi had become somewhat accustomed to Lu Xiaoxiao being by his side.
As for sleeping in the same bed, it's not that he can't accept it.
It's just that Xie Xi couldn't say it directly.
Suddenly, there were two "knock-knock" sounds, and the door was suddenly knocked.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked away and suddenly stood up, "The waiter should have brought hot water in."
Xie Xi's thoughts were interrupted. Hearing this, he hummed in a low voice, "Sit down and I'll open the door."
After saying that, Xie Xi stood up and walked towards the door of the room.
Looking at the slender back of His Highness the Crown Prince, Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and there was a ripple in his heart unconsciously.
[As a prince, His Highness can be so approachable, which is really a blessing to the country of Li. He is worthy of being the future crown prince! 】
【I must protect His Highness well! Let His Highness successfully ascend the throne and become the emperor! 】
Xie Xi's footsteps paused slightly, and there was a very shallow smile in his eyes, which disappeared briefly.
Opening the door, it was indeed Ah Xi, the waiter, standing outside.
Next to Ah Xi, there were two bathtubs.
With a smile on her face, Ah Xi said attentively: "Your Majesty, the younger one has brought the bathtub here first. Please give me permission while the younger one brings the bathtub into the room."
Xie Xi turned sideways to make way for Ah Xi: "Send one bathtub in, and the other bathtub will be sent to the next room."
The people living in the next room are Chenlu and Angelica dahurica.
"Okay, sir."
After Ah Xi moved one of the bathtubs in, he ran to knock on the door of the next room.
After that, Ah Xi and another waiter ran back and forth twice and delivered two buckets of hot water.
After the four of them had washed up, Lu Xiaoxiao originally thought of asking the waiter to bring some food, and she and His Highness would eat in the room.
But His Highness suggested going to the lobby downstairs.
Lu Xiaoxiao would not offend His Highness.
But, why did she see Meng Huaijun in the lobby of the inn! ? ?
The moment she suddenly saw Meng Huaijun standing on the second floor, Lu Xiaoxiao almost thought that she had seen it wrong, and she subconsciously looked at His Highness.
[When did Meng Huaijun arrive in Suzhou? 】
[I had never seen Meng Huaijun come to the Prince's Mansion again after we said goodbye before. I almost forgot that Meng Huaijun is the key figure in solving this Jiangnan problem! 】
[But why did Meng Huaijun come to Suzhou? Is it for His Highness? 】
[It must be true. After all, Meng Huaijun has an informant in the Jiangnan General Palace and is the savior of the governor of Jiangning’s wife. Wouldn’t it be easy to collect some information? 】
"..."
He's not that powerful.
Hearing the familiar voice again, Meng Huaijun calmly scanned the people sitting in the lobby and did not see Lu Fengyi in the Prince's Mansion.
However, according to the itinerary that His Highness told him before, His Highness the Crown Prince should arrive in Suzhou today.
Since he can hear Lu Fengyi's voice at this time, it proves that His Highness and Lu Fengyi are already at Luoyang Inn, but I don't know where they are at this time.
Meng Huaijun set off one day earlier than His Highness the Crown Prince. The two of them had already agreed that if they arrived in Suzhou, they would stay at the Luoyang Inn so that they could discuss matters together...
Xie Xi also heard Lu Xiaoxiao's doubts, but she didn't need him to explain this matter at all, she had already figured it out on her own.
However, what surprised Xie Xi was that Mr. Huaijun actually had an informant in the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion?
When Xie Xi was discussing Jiangnan with Mr. Huaijun in Shengjing City, Xie Xi only heard Mr. Huaijun mention that he had rescued the wife of the governor of Jiangning. If he also went to Jiangnan with His Highness, maybe he could help. .
Xie Xi was willing to let Mr. Huaijun go with him, so he immediately decided to let Mr. Huaijun go first.
"Husband, let's go down."
[It doesn’t seem right to keep standing on the second floor. 】
[Moreover, if we don’t go down, Meng Huaijun will really leave. 】
Lu Xiaoxiao tugged at the sleeve of His Highness the Crown Prince, and her green-white fingers inadvertently ran across the back of his hand. However, she did not notice it and still said softly: "I seem to have met Mr. Huaijun. How about we do the same?" Come over and sit over there?"
A trace of itching made Xie Xi come back to his senses immediately.
Xie Xi lowered his eyes, and his gentle gaze fell on Lu Xiaoxiao's fingers pulling on his sleeve, which were green and soft.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, his eyes darkened, he raised his eyes to look at Lu Xiaoxiao, and responded warmly: "Okay."
Xie Xi held Lu Xiao's hand, which was covered by the wide sleeves.
Chen Lu and Bai Zhi were still following behind them.
The lobby of the inn is very lively.
The shopkeeper, Ah Jiu, was yawning and calculating in front of the counter, and did not notice his master appearing in the lobby.
Lu Xiaoxiao took Xie Xi towards the table where Meng Huaijun was sitting.
"Master Huaijun, what a coincidence."
Hearing this, Meng Huaijun immediately raised his head.
Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lu Fengyi, Meng Huaijun had a look of surprise on his face, "I didn't expect to see the Young Master and..."
"lady."
Xie Xi took the call.
Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at Xie Xi quickly, feeling suddenly happy.
[Your Highness calls me Madam, who can handle it? 】
Xie Xi: "..."
Meng Huaijun: "..."
After not seeing each other for many days, the relationship between His Highness and Lu Fengyi seems to be getting better.
Meng Huaijun said with a smile, "Master and Madam, please sit down."
"I wonder if Mr. and Mrs. can have a meal? If you two don't mind, can you and Xiaosheng eat together?"
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't speak. She stared directly at Xie Xi, waiting for his answer.
"good."
Xie Xi didn't let her wait for long, and pulled Lu Xiaoxiao to sit down together.
Meng Huaijun hired another waiter to serve some more dishes.
"Okay!"
The waiter wrote down the name of the dish and left in a hurry.
"How is your journey to Suzhou going smoothly, Master?"
Since they were all in the lobby at this time, Meng Huaijun only asked what he could.
Xie Xi narrowed his eyes: "Everything went well."
Lu Xiaoxiao pursed his lips.
Not really.
Along the way, Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi encountered four pursuits.
Twice were assassins sent by the Fourth Prince, and twice were assassins hired by Concubine Shu with huge sums of money in order to prevent His Highness from returning to Shengjing City alive.
[If it weren’t for the secret guards beside His Highness who are highly skilled in martial arts and can kill people like chopping vegetables, I don’t know how long it would have taken us to arrive in Suzhou. 】
[It’s just that the fourth prince knows His Highness’s whereabouts, how come even the killer sent by Concubine Shu knows His Highness’s whereabouts? 】
[I don’t know where Concubine Shu got the news. If His Highness hadn’t believed me, I would have almost suspected that I had leaked His Highness’s whereabouts...]
