"I think it's a lie that he wants to compete with me, but it's true that he wants to stay in the imperial capital."
Hearing this, Jingchuan's eyes moved slightly.
"why do you say so?"
At the palace banquet that day, everyone could clearly see Situ Liuyun's performance.
He seemed to really want to fight Ye Xiyue.
Ye Xiyue put down the tea cup, rubbed it gently with her fingertips, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"With his status, if you want to find someone to compete with, you can't find anyone, so you have to choose me?"
Recalling the situation of that day again, she said again:
"Maybe it's partly out of curiosity and competitiveness, but what really makes him care is definitely for other reasons."
He also said that he would wait until her injury healed...
This reason is really justified.
"Lu Huaining didn't leave either?"
Jingchuan shook his head.
Ye Xiyue lowered her eyes, her thick and curled eyelashes casting a faint shadow under her eyelids, as if she was thinking about something.
The birthday party is over, so logically they should leave.
Even if there is something you want to talk about, aren't these days enough?
Unless...it's what they are waiting for.
Ye Xiyue had a hunch in her heart: Lu Huaining and Situ Liuyun stayed together this time, maybe they had the same reason.
But...what exactly?
Just as she was thinking about it, she felt a warmth on her temples.
Jingchuan didn't know when he came around behind her and was massaging her.
"If you can't figure it out, just don't think about it for the moment."
A low and sweet voice came from above the head.
Ye Xiyue sighed softly and couldn't help laughing.
"good."
"Whatever Jingchuan says is what it is."
She bent her eyes and teased.
Jingchuan was stunned.
It was clear that the young man who was full of aura and power in front of Xiao Mingyin just a moment ago was beside her now, but because of her words, the tips of his ears turned red.
.....
In a certain residence in the imperial capital, Situ Liuyun was practicing swordplay in the courtyard.
Although he was only using a wooden sword, the sound of hissing through the air was constant, and his sword was so sharp that no one dared to underestimate it.
He didn't sheath his sword until someone came outside.
A man who looked like a guard walked in and saluted respectfully:
"I have met His Highness."
Situ Liuyun raised his hand, threw out the wooden sword, and then accurately inserted it into the scabbard hanging in the distance.
Then, he walked towards the stone bench next to him.
"How's it going? Still no clues?"
The person who came to report looked a little more embarrassed.
"The subordinates are incompetent."
Situ Liuyun just waved his hand and seemed to have no intention of pursuing it.
"This matter is inherently difficult to handle. Isn't there still no movement on Lu Huaining's side? Don't worry."
Hearing that he really didn't mean to blame, the man finally felt a little relieved.
"Then...according to your wishes...should you continue to investigate?"
"certainly."
Situ Liuyun chuckled,
"We all came here from Xingluo. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we really returned empty-handed? Feel free to check again, but be careful not to be noticed."
"yes!"
Situ Liuyun had already expected the result, and he didn't feel disappointed at this time.
If things were really solved that easily, he would have to think there was a problem.
He paused, thought of something again, and waved:
"By the way, how is Ye Xiyue's situation?"
The subordinate was stunned for a moment and quickly replied:
"Back to Your Highness, Ye Xiyue has been staying at Nanshan College to recuperate recently. She has not come out and there is no movement."
Situ Liuyun listened and touched his chin with great interest.
"really?"
The subordinate raised his head strangely.
"This... subordinates and others have been keeping watch secretly, and it is true that they have never seen her come out."
