After walking out of the south study room, the three pavilion elders said their goodbyes one after another, not forgetting to look at Xiao Lingyue before leaving.
The eyes are meaningful.
Xiao Lingyue's scalp felt a little numb when she saw it, and she had a vague premonition in her heart.
Why did Emperor Zhaoming give her the task of assisting the prince?
Xiao Lingyue really couldn't understand.
"The Lord of Anping County." The prince's smiling voice sounded.
Xiao Lingyue came back to her senses and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness just calls me by my name. It sounds strange to call me that way."
The prince laughed: "Okay, then I won't be polite to you. I will need more help from you to investigate the matters of the Ministry of Industry."
The corner of Xiao Lingyue's mouth twitched: "Your Highness, I am not a member of the court, and I know nothing about the Ministry of Industry. I'm afraid I can't be of much help? How could Your Majesty leave such a matter to me...
"
She couldn't help but glance at Zhan Beihan next to her: "Wouldn't it be better to let King Yi and His Royal Highness cooperate in the investigation?"
Zhan Beihan raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
The prince smiled and said: "Beihan has been worried about enough things recently. His injuries have not healed yet. He is not needed to do this kind of thing. I am not a freeloader."
Xiao Lingyue said helplessly: "In this case, Your Highness the Crown Prince is enough to investigate alone, so there is no need to add me, right?"
"Since my father has made such a decision, he must have his intentions."
The prince smiled and said: "Besides, you and Beihan have jointly explored Hulang Mountain, know the inside story, and have the ability to protect yourself. My father believes that you can help, and I naturally do the same."
Speaking of which, Xiao Lingyue couldn't say anything else.
"She has been living in Prince Yi's Mansion recently. If brother wants to find her, just come to Prince Yi's Mansion directly. Is there anything else?"
Zhan Beihan said something.
The prince was stunned and looked at him subconsciously: "Do you live in Prince Yi's Mansion?"
Zhan Beihan hummed, "Any questions?"
Prince: "..."
The corners of his mouth twitched and his eyes scanned the two of them before he could speak.
"Let's go!" Zhan Beihan turned around and left without giving him a chance to speak.
Xiao Lingyue didn't know how to explain it, so she simply avoided the prince's sight and followed him.
On the carriage leaving the palace.
Xiao Lingyue frowned and said, "Why did you say that to the prince?"
Zhan Beihan closed his eyes and rested his mind on the soft cushion. After hearing this, he opened his eyes and said, "Did I make a mistake?"
"..." Xiao Lingyue frowned even more tightly, "Even if you're right, you shouldn't have said that."
"Why?"
"In case the prince misunderstands..."
"What's the misunderstanding?" Zhan Beihan interrupted directly.
Xiao Lingyue: "..." She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhan Beihan seemed to understand, and mocked a little: "This is not the first day you have lived in Prince Yi's Mansion. You would have misunderstood me a long time ago. Why wait until now?"
Xiao Lingyue felt an inexplicable depression in her chest: "Who was responsible for this?"
He thought she was happy to live in Prince Yi's Mansion, and did she really want to be misunderstood like this?
Zhan Beihan sneered: "It doesn't matter what harm I have done to you, what can you do to me?"
Xiao Lingyue became more angry: "You have to make trouble with me, right?"
Zhan Bei said coldly: "It was you who made me unhappy first!"
"What did I do to make you unhappy?"
"Think about it for yourself. Do you still need me to remind you one by one?" Zhan Beihan's tone became more and more sarcastic.
Xiao Lingyue took a few deep breaths, suppressed her unknown anger, and simply stopped talking.
There was silence in the carriage.
There is only the sound of wheels grinding against the ground.
After a while, the carriage left the palace gate. Xiao Lingyue reached out to push the window and took a look, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the car door. This chapter has been completed!
