"Second Miss, are you okay? Second Miss, did the man in the palace give you any trouble? Have you been punished?"
As soon as Luo Jiuli heard this, he knew that he must have used money to find out something.
"It's okay, everything has been resolved."
Butler Zhang heard this.
"Everything has been solved? Fengde, is Mrs. Fengde awake?"
"Well, the Ninth Prince helped me solve it."
In fact, she was not wrong. If Xiao Mingxuan hadn't guaranteed her, or the emperor didn't care about Xiao Mingxuan's face.
She will definitely spend a lot of time and will never solve it so quickly.
"That's great. Once it's solved, the young lady will be fine, and the madam can rest assured."
"Second Miss, go home, Madam is waiting impatiently."
"Um."
Luo Jiuli nodded and raised his feet to get on the carriage.
At this moment, a voice came from behind.
"Miss Luo Er."
Luo Jiuli, who had already stepped onto the carriage, heard a familiar voice and looked back.
"Qin Yin?"
Qin Yin was walking quickly.
After all, he was a martial arts practitioner. His steps were long and he reached Luo Jiuli in just a few steps.
"Miss Luo Er, my master invites you."
"The prince has left the palace?"
Luo Jiuli looked at the palace gate, but did not see Xiao Mingxuan's figure.
Qin Yin touched his nose and pointed to the carriage on the other side.
I thought to myself, not only did I leave the palace, but I also saw Miss Luo Er talking to the Xian King.
Luo Jiuli took back his feet and looked at Butler Zhang.
"Steward Zhang, you go back home first and send a message to mother so that she doesn't have to worry."
"Second Miss."
Butler Zhang's old face froze.
I secretly cursed that this man and woman were riding in the same carriage together. If outsiders saw this, they might not be able to arrange the arrangement of his young lady.
Luo Jiuling understood his thoughts.
"Don't worry, I am in the palace today thanks to the Ninth Prince. At least I have to express my gratitude to the Prince in person."
"Besides, I'm not even afraid of divorce from your young lady, so why do I care what others say?"
"Go ahead, you go back first, I will go back later."
With that said, he turned around and went to the carriage of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Qin Yin saw Miss Luo Er entering the carriage, jumped on the carriage, cracked the whip, and his anxious heart finally relaxed.
Just now, the look in the master's eyes was, Ouch! He could eat people.
After entering the carriage, Xiao Mingxuan was dozing off with his eyes closed.
"Your Majesty."
The two of them are now considered familiar friends. When facing Xiao Mingxuan, she doesn't have as many worries as before.
Xiao Mingxuan did not open his eyes, and gave a faint hum.
The carriage also started to move with a creaking sound.
Luo Jiuli curled his lips.
"Didn't the prince have something to say to me? Why did he let me come? I just wanted to watch the prince fall asleep."
"Luo Jiuli."
Xiao Mingxuan's voice was cold and stern.
"Stay away from the wise king."
Luo Jiuli: What does this mean?
She and the wise king were not close to each other to begin with, right?
"Does Your Majesty know that I met His Highness the Wise King when I left the palace?"
"Um."
Xiao Mingxuan opened his eyes, and there was an unruly and domineering look in Leng Aoguqing's eyes.
"Remember, today, tomorrow, and in the future, don't get too close to the wise king. You'd better not mess with the princes and princes in this palace anymore."
Luo Jiuli thought it was a bit funny, where did he start talking about this?
"His Royal Highness the Nine Kings is also a prince in the palace, why did the prince still summon me?"
Xiao Mingxuan looked at the smile on her lips and felt panicked.
"I am different from them. Those princes and princes are all the sons of the emperor. Do you understand?"
The throne has not yet been decided, she is a peaceful noble daughter, her mother's family is powerful, it is best not to get involved in this whirlpool of imperial power struggle.
Lest her temperament be deceived again.
Luo Jiuli still wanted to reply, but suddenly he thought of the words that they are all the emperor's sons, and something clicked in his mind.
The emperor has reached the age of forty, but the position of prince has not yet been established. It is unknown what kind of turmoil is under the calm waves of power.
"Your Majesty, are you afraid that I will be taken advantage of by others?"
"Because my status is too special, my mother's family is also too special?"
Xiao Mingxuan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that she could understand such a vague meaning.
To be able to say it so straightforwardly, it was obvious that she had no intention of hiding it from him.
I was holding back my panic, but suddenly I felt a little more relaxed.
"It's good if you understand."
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"Understood, thank you for your advice, Your Majesty."
Xiao Mingxuan was silent. He remembered what Duke Yiguo and his wife said in the palace that morning, and looked at Luo Jiuli in silence.
"Luo Jiuli, did your mother say anything to you this morning?"
When Luo Jiuli heard this, the corner of his mouth raised a subtle arc, and he cursed in his heart. He was indeed the old fox, the Ninth Prince. He had a seven-orificed and exquisite heart. It was probably impossible to fool him.
Then he raised his head and stared at Xiao Mingxuan for a moment, and said the truth.
"Said."
"The Ninth Prince is said to be a dragon and a phoenix among men, and he is also the uncle of Prince Zhao. He told me to have less contact with him in the future, so as not to cause gossip."
Xiao Mingxuan looked at her with a faint smile, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded away.
She did not lie or be perfunctory, which was enough to prove that she did not agree with her mother's remarks.
"Oh? Then what did you answer?"
He looked at her with a subtle expression.
"me?"
Luo Jiuli snorted.
"I said, what others think of me has nothing to do with me."
"I am open-minded and have a clear conscience. Why should I be afraid of those people's gossip?"
"What's more."
There was a smile on her lips and she leaned forward.
"Your Majesty has helped me several times. If I was asked to be that ungrateful person just because of irrelevant outsiders' gossip, I think I really can't do it."
Xiao Mingxuan was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes, the corners of his brows and eyes were tinged with a little tenderness, and there was even a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth.
He loved hearing such words, he loved hearing them to death.
Not only what she said, but also her temperament and her abilities really satisfied his appetite.
"Aren't you afraid of making your mother angry if you are so willful?"
"Your Majesty."
Luo Jiuli naturally did not miss the subtle smile on the corner of his mouth.
She didn't expect that such a stern and solemn person would have such a beautiful smile, so good-looking that she was a little obsessed with it.
"Has the prince always been so duplicitous?"
"Obviously, the prince is happy with what I just said, why are you still asking like this?"
"Besides, as an old mother, the prince should be able to understand. There is no parent in this world who doesn't think about his children."
"Your Highness shouldn't blame my mother, right?"
Xiao Mingxuan felt that his dignity and indifference, which had been broken for twenty-five years, could be defeated by this woman with just a few words in just a few short days.
"Won't."
He shook his head, who owed her anything and needed her help?
"That's good. When the prince speaks, he will stick to his word. If the prince says he doesn't blame my mother, then he definitely won't blame me."
