Chapter 358: Visitors from Jiangbei
After all the candidates entered the room and the crowd in front of the door dispersed, the two were about to leave. Chen Boyuan came out from nowhere and saluted the two of them: "Your Highness and the Consort are also here to join in the fun."
?”
"The prince is participating in the martial arts exam, why are you here?" Xiao Lingyao knew that Chen Boyuan had been very peaceful recently and had not done anything when he returned to Sui City. The more he behaved like this, the more unusual he was. He was so calm and calm. What on earth was he doing?
.
When she found out that the follower named Zhou Jin was not around him, she became wary. Qin Feng also noticed that Zhou Jin was nowhere to be seen, and she was thinking in her heart. She suddenly caught a glimpse of the other person's hands from the corner of her eye. She didn't know that he was playing with them.
What, what have you been rubbing?
While he was staring, Chen Boyuan suddenly moved his fingers, letting the thing in his hand appear in front of their eyes.
In an instant, the numbing discomfort rose spontaneously.
Hidden in Chen Boyuan's hands is the jade cricket that was pawned by Xiao Lingyao!
Qin Feng is a man and feels that Chen Bo is far from a thing. He deliberately does this kind of behavior to disgust people. He is worse than that villain. If placed in modern times, he would be labeled as a pervert.
This man didn't know how to restrain himself. A cold light flashed in Qin Feng's eyes. He didn't want to settle the matter and looked directly at the jade cricket: "The prince seems to have a special liking for crickets. I remember that the prince gave his highness a jade cricket."
Chen Boyuan really didn't expect Qin Feng to go straight to the point like this. If he said this was just what he redeemed, wouldn't it make people think he was a fool?
Qin Feng looked at him like he was stuck in his throat and thought it was funny. What the hell is this? He shot himself in the foot. The gift he gave Xiao Lingyao was pawned in exchange for silver, but he went to redeem it stupidly and had the nerve to take it again.
Come out to show off?
"Hey, this jade cricket really looks like the one the prince sent to me. Doesn't the prince have a preference in this area?" Xiao Lingyao pretended to be surprised and said: "I've heard that I like calligraphy, jade, and gems.
He, such a good cricket..."
There was a gleam of surprise in her eyes: "I am the only one who sees the Crown Prince."
Chen Boyuan was choked and speechless by the couple. Sure enough, today is different from the past. The little girl who used to insist on talking is now sharp-tongued and has reinforcements on her side. It is really a husband and a wife who are so at odds with each other.
Deed!
Jing Wuming and others were following behind, suppressing their smiles. How could His Highness and the consort join forces to make things easier for this person who was just looking for trouble?
Before Chen Boyuan could come up with a counter-argument, Bai Qian suddenly came to Xiao Lingyao and whispered a few words in her ear. Xiao Lingyao said, "I still have something to deal with. I won't say goodbye to the prince for now."
She said to Qin Feng again: "Consort, I will go first."
Qin Feng met her eyes and saw her rare solemn look. For some reason, his heart trembled and he said softly: "Go."
Xiao Lingyao paused for a moment, then left with Bai Qian and Cao Jing. On the other side, Qin Feng also cupped his hands and said, "Don't disturb the prince."
Although she had important matters to deal with, Xiao Lingyao actually hurried all the way back to the Princess Mansion. When she stepped into the Jingyi Hall, Cao Jing had already dismissed the servants around her. As soon as she stepped in with one foot, the door of the Jingyi Hall was blocked.
Close.
The silent meeting hall of Nuo University suddenly became gloomy. Almost at the same time, a palm wind struck. The look of the princess who looked very delicate changed slightly. Her footwork was actually dazzling. The hair accessories on her head were not messed up.
But he avoided the attack of that palm.
A cold light burst out from those charming eyes, and he suddenly pulled out a hairpin from his head, grasped it with his two fingers and moved towards the other person's neck like lightning. The man was obviously taken aback and leaned back. There was unconcealable admiration in his eyes.
Xiao Lingyao's eyes narrowed slightly, but she had no intention of stopping. The luxurious hairpin in her hand seemed to be shining, and with her sharp movements, she frequently attacked the opponent's vital points, until the opponent's body reached the table, and she shouted in a low voice: "I give up. "
She then put away the hairpin, but the sharp end was always pointing outwards, pointing at the person's throat.
Looking at this man again, he was dressed in a black suit and looked quite dusty. He was only twenty-five or six years old. He was very stable and had an extraordinary face, but he had an inexplicable look of maturity. When he saw Ling Yao, he did not The murderous aura was restrained, and he felt a little palpitated.
"Your Highness has not neglected his training, so the common people can rest assured." The man raised his hands and said, "My uncle asked me to come to Sui City for business, so I stopped by to visit His Highness. Everything is fine over there in Jiangbei. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
Xiao Lingyao kept a tight lid on the matter of his martial arts competition. There was no cover in front of this person. There was no other reason. This person was an important minister of the previous dynasty. When the new emperor came to the throne, more than 30 members of his family were killed. Together with Cao Jing, Born from the same background, they grew up together.
"Senior Brother Xing Zhan, long time no see." Xiao Lingyao practiced martial arts with Xing Zhan for two years and could be considered as brothers and sisters. However, she was later taught by Cao Jing, and Xing Zhan went to Jiangbei with his uncle and was not in Sui City.
The last time the two met was on the Ghost Festival five years ago. It was rare for her to leave the palace with the favor of Emperor Yuan, and she met her uncle and others in a hurry.
Xing Zhan looked at Xiao Lingyao, who was now very different, and said with cupped hands: "Uncle asked us to come to Sui City, firstly to give away the profits of various shops in Jiangbei, and secondly to bring a message to His Highness, something must be done after the Spring Festival. Your Highness, please be prepared."
Xiao Lingyao's hand paused slightly, knowing that her uncle would not tell her what the plan was because of his habit. When he sent her to the palace, his uncle had said that his actions should not overlap with hers, and that she should stay out of it. Only in this way could he It won't arouse suspicion.
So she just responded without being too surprised. Xing Zhan couldn't explain how he felt when he saw this. A good girl entered the palace and walked on thin ice for nine years. Now she is so sophisticated and has no trace of the innocence of her childhood.
He sighed softly and said: "Uncle, although you are married now, it is just a fake marriage. You must be careful about the consort. If you want to get rid of him, if it is not convenient, we will do it."
Xiao Lingyao was slightly shaken. Although what Xing Zhan said was true, her uncle must have had murderous intentions. He was different from her and acted very differently. He once said in a letter that she was not hard-hearted, so how could he keep her as her pillow?
It happened that her uncle said this after she and Qin Feng reached an agreement and gave the letter to He Li. Is this a coincidence, or her recent sex with the consort made her uncle uneasy. She grinned coldly: "I remember what uncle said. But don’t interfere with my actions.”
Xing Zhan didn't expect her to be so tough. Thinking of his uncle's explanation before he left, he said: "Your Highness may have been fascinated by the consort. If this person stays with Your Highness for a long time, he may find out what we are doing. If so, It would be nice to betray you to the princess."
