Volume 1: Huatangchun Chapter 9: I Know Who You Are
Qingxi asked in surprise, but the other party still smiled faintly. She asked again angrily: "How did you know my surname is Ling?"
The other party just said calmly: "It's not difficult to guess. On this trip, the only female members of the palace are the queen and the princess. Judging from the girl's dress and temperament, she is definitely not an ordinary palace maid. So only Ling, who came with the order,
Your family is gone."
It seems that he has seen himself clearly early on. Qingxi bit his lip and replied confidently: "Since you know who I am, to be fair, I should also know your identity."
"Fair?" The other party laughed again.
Qingxi felt that even though he was sitting and standing, it seemed that he was the one condescending, not herself. This feeling was very bad, and she also hated his dismissive smile. Such an attitude was not worthy of his magnanimity.
Ran's chic temperament. "Why are you laughing?"
The other party suppressed his smile and said gently: "Miss Ling, you used the wrong word. To be fair, it is not suitable for you and me in the current environment."
Qingxi was sulking. This was not her intention, but she did not intend to explain further. Because it seemed that no matter what she said, no matter whether her attitude was strong or soft, the words she said and the questions she asked were like a fist filled with cotton, useless and powerless.
.
The room was silent for a moment, except for the purring sound of the kitten in the corner. Qingxi walked over, squatted down again, pouted and whispered: "It's your fault, you little villains, for bringing me here."
"How good is it now? I don't know if I am in the same room with a cat or a wolf." She thought she would wait for a reply from the other party, but she didn't hear a reply for a long time. She turned around and looked in doubt, but saw that he didn't know.
When was he already standing behind him?
"Miss Ling is so careless, no wonder she is trapped here!"
Qingxi stood up suddenly, but couldn't help but retorted: "You are so alert, why are you still trapped here?"
"That's because of you!"
The other party said it in an understatement, but it was harsh in Qingxi's ears. He was blaming himself for dragging him down. Thinking about it, it makes sense. If he hadn't barged in and was accidentally discovered, it seemed that he didn't have to be there.
But then he thought about it, even if he wasn't there, he would have been able to avoid the eyes of those two people and go out without even seeing it. But the key to the question is, why did they hide?
Just as she was thinking this, she heard a deep voice above her head: "No matter what you hear or see tonight, treat it as if it never happened. This is for the good of you and your father."
Qing Xi frowned slightly. Somehow, even though she complained about him, she didn't doubt his words.
Tonight she heard the two of them plotting something ulterior, with one calling the other "Prince."
Today, the Holy Emperor has few heirs, with three sons and four daughters. In addition to the prince, his sons are His Highness the Sixth Prince Heng and His Highness the Seventh Prince who is not yet an adult. So the only one who can call the prince is His Highness Six. But the man's voice does not sound like that of a young man.
What comes out is the calmness of a middle-aged man. There are three brothers in the Holy Emperor, the King of Yu who is indifferent to worldly affairs, the gentle and elegant King of Xiang, and the brave and capable King of Guang. Which one is it? No matter which one it is, it is definitely not her fault.
However, even if she knew about such a sinister plot, she could not ignore it when the wind passed by silently or the water passed by without leaving a trace.
After thinking about it, her whole body became calm. She raised her head slightly and once again explored the man in front of her.
He looks to be as old as his brother. He cannot be an important minister of the court at such an age. Although the texture of his clothes cannot be seen carefully, a quick glance shows that he is quite particular. He must come from a wealthy family. His conversation and attitude seem to be a bit like that.
He was so fearless and calm that even at the critical moment that seemed dangerous to her just now, she didn't feel a trace of fear in him behind her.
Isn't it? Her eyes focused, and she suddenly became excited, as if something flashed across her head, and she suddenly became enlightened.
"I know who you are?"
The other party also lowered his head slightly and looked at her. Their positions were just enough for half of their faces to be illuminated by the moonlight. Their eyes faced each other, and they both had their own thoughts and explorations.
"Then tell me, who am I?"
"The current Sixth Highness, Prince Heng, Xiao Yizheng."
