Xuanwei didn't have any more time to react and digest it because Luo Yihe had already got off the carriage.

The carriage was stopped on a busy street. It was a noble man in a moon-white robe riding a horse, and ten armored guards with their hands on the hilts of swords at their waists.

There were many stunned people around, ducking and watching on the roadside.

"Who is this master? He dares to call the 'dandy monster' by his name. Are you not afraid of being tortured to death?"

"Are you blind? Jiyue Qingfeng, the armored guard, of course this is His Highness the King of Dongyin!"

"Oh! That's right. Apart from the Emperor, I am afraid that in the entire capital, His Highness King Dongyin is the only one who dares to be so unafraid of the 'Luosha Star'?"

"No, only a humble gentleman like His Highness the King of Dongyin dares to fight against this dandy monster in the mud..."

While whispering, the playboy demon Luo Yihe stretched himself calmly.

He showed his genuine but evil signature smile: "Lao Heng, long time no see, you are even more cruel to me."

The two people who said this seemed to have known each other for a long time. But Xiang Heng, the king of Dongyin, looked cold and solemn, showing no sign of old friendship.

"Give it back to me." Xiang Heng cut out three words like razor blades from between his lips and teeth.

"Ah, what?" Luo Yihe smoothed down his slightly floating hair, his eyes full of childlike confusion, "I didn't lend you anything, did I?"

A vein appeared on Xiang Heng's forehead: "She!"

Luo Yihe groaned: "Look at what you said, is that a thing? He is obviously a good person! I didn't borrow it from you, I borrowed it from Hua Zi!"

"You're useless——"

"Your Majesty."

The accompanying armored guards were about to draw their swords to threaten him, when Xuanwei got off the carriage, knelt down and bowed his head.

Xiang Heng's cold eyes turned ice into soft water the moment he saw her.

His voice was like a hot spring: "Xuanwei, come back."

Xuan Wei straightened his knees, still lowering his head and staring at the ground, taking frequent small steps to stand behind him.

"If Qing Huasi's carriage cannot carry you next time, I will send a message from Fei Ge and I will send someone to pick you up." Xiang Heng tilted his head and looked down at the top of her head.

Xuanwei's head buried even lower.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

The people around looked at each other.

"The King of Dongyin blocked Luo Shaxing... for a woman? Who is this woman?"

"Could this angel-looking person be the Princess of Dongyin?"

"You are stupid. How could Princess Dongyin get out of Luosha Xing's car? I heard that Prince Dongyin once rescued a witch and helped him become the current King of Dongyin..."

Luo Yihe looked at Xuanwei's appearance and smiled happily.

"I had a very good chat with the beauty today. I will often come to the palace to see you in the future. If you want to eat or play, just tell me... Of course, if you can come directly to my house, you can do more

——”

Snap!

There was a flash of cold light, and a sword flew towards me, grazing the top of Luo Yihe's hair and nailing it to the wall of the carriage!

The onlookers exclaimed in surprise.

"The King of Dongyin has used his sword against Luo Shaxing!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Dongyin is brave!"

"Oh my god, Prince Dongyin really dares to attack him, will everything be okay?"

"What a pity. If the sword had been lowered a little further, it could have penetrated the demon's head..."

Luo Yihe, who was almost stabbed through the dog's head, didn't seem to be frightened.

He didn't even blink, and watched with a smile as Xiang Heng immediately threw his sword at his face. When the sword was nailed into the wall of the carriage and bounced up and down, he was unaware.

"Well, it's getting late."

He raised his hand and pulled out the sword above his head, feeling happy.

"Suzaku Soft Sword? Lao Heng, you are so interesting. You gave me this coveted treasure like this. I'm so touched... I'll leave now without further ado. Your Majesty is waiting for me to have a meal in the palace. See you later.

!”

After that, he got back into the carriage and drove towards the palace in a leisurely manner.

Some people sighed and muttered: "You are a sycophant who flatters your superiors and bullies your subordinates!"

Xiang Heng didn't say a word, but Xuanwei saw his fist hidden behind his back, which was clenched until the knuckles turned white and trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the mansion." She said humbly in a low voice, then thought about it and said, "I'll help you get back that soft sword later."

"You don't need to go." Xiang Heng flicked his wide sleeves and got on his horse.

"One day...he has to give all of that back to me."

No one heard the last sentence, because when the people saw Luo Yihe's carriage go away, they began to support Xiang Heng and cheer.

"His Royal Highness the King of Dongyin is mighty!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Dongyin is wise and powerful!"

"The only one who can destroy the dandy monster is His Highness the King of Dongyin!"

Xuanwei followed Xiang Heng on his horse and walked back to the Dongyin Palace with the armored guards.

Xiang Heng dismounted and glanced at her, "Go take a shower and change clothes, and then come to the study."

"yes."

Changing into a lotus-colored dress and bunting her hair at the back of her neck, Xuanwei went to the door of the study and knelt down to wait.

Xiang Heng was discussing matters inside. After half an hour, the door opened and an old counselor came out and left.

"Your Majesty." Xuanwei walked into the study and knelt before Xiang Heng again.

Xiang Heng didn't respond. Xuanwei didn't even look up.

After a long time, Xiang Heng finally spoke: "Why not guilty?"

The cold voice echoed in the study, which was very different from the gentle voice he spoke to her on the street just now.

There was no subject in the question, but Xuan Wei immediately understood who the subject of his question was.

"Go back to the prince, because he is indeed not the real murderer." Xuanwei lowered her head further, her forehead touching the ground, and the cold support gave her a sense of security.

"How can he be completely innocent?" Xiang Heng stood up using the armrest and stood in front of her.

"A devil like him, even if he is not the mastermind, must be an accomplice. Otherwise, why didn't the consort kill him last night to put the blame on him, instead of killing the motiveless Ling Tanhua?"

Although he couldn't see Xiang Heng's expression, Xuanwei still closed his eyes habitually, "I'm humble and incompetent. I haven't found any evidence that Mr. Luo is an accomplice."

"Since you are incompetent..." Xiang Heng slowly squatted down, held her upright, and pinched her chin, "Then get married. You are nineteen now."

Xuanwei looked into his deep eyes and bit her lip: "Xuanwei is humble and afraid that it will be difficult to marry into a family that is helpful to the prince."

"When did I say that I wanted to marry you off?" Xiang Heng chuckled, and his tone softened again, "I don't want you to go to someone else's house to suffer hardship... It's better to stay in the palace and take you as my concubine."

Xuanwei felt a little dazed and weird.

After nineteen years of living, this was the first time someone told her in such a calm and matter-of-fact tone that he wanted to take her as a concubine.

She was born in the palace of Zhou Guogong, a powerful family, and was the eldest daughter of the Zhou family.

Since the founding of the Kingdom of Chu, women from the direct line of the Zhou family have been either registered as queens or given the title of princess. Even daughters who are not direct line members can also marry princes, princes, and noble officials.

It is not impossible for her to be a concubine. Her aunt was drafted into the palace and became a concubine as soon as she left. In just a few years, she became an imperial concubine.

Although times have changed.

The Zhou family collapsed. If she wanted to live, she would have to face all kinds of situations with a lowly status. No one would dare to take her as a concubine even if she was given a sinful status.

"I beg the prince to give me another chance." She said humbly, "I will definitely fulfill my duties and help the prince succeed."

Even so, the voice of that playboy monster echoed in her mind for no reason.

Follow him and autopsy and solve the case without any worries?

As a reward, do you want to get rid of her low status and marry her?

As far as she is concerned, it seems to be a very cost-effective way out——

Compared to staying in Dongyin Palace.

Xiang Heng was very satisfied with this statement and led her to stand up.

"I will ask someone to arrange another case recently." He paced and said:

"What you have to do is to confirm the conclusion of the Ministry of Justice during the re-examination and prove that Luo Yihe is the real murderer."
