After coming out of Prince Mu's Mansion, Xie Yan was still in a gloomy mood.
Although those people can't really affect him, there are always flies flying around, which is still quite annoying.
"Your Majesty." A shadow appeared behind him, bowing his hands respectfully.
Xie Yan said: "Send someone to tell the Luo family what happened just now."
Duoying was stunned for a moment before he realized that his prince wanted him to tell Miss Shen of the Luo family about Xie Chengyou's behavior in the hall just now.
Duiying was a little puzzled, "Why is the prince so troublesome?"
Both Shen Lingxiang and Xie Chengyou are inconspicuous little people. If the prince finds them annoying, he can kill them with his hands.
Xie Yan said calmly: "I want to know whether the person behind Xie Chengyou and the person behind the Luo family are the same person."
"The prince suspects that someone wants to plot against the Luo family and Miss Luo, and deliberately instigates Mr. Xuanyu and Shen Lingxiang to deceive Miss Luo?"
"Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"
Xie Yan said: "There is a mysterious person helping Xie Chengyou behind him, and there is also a mysterious person helping him around him. Are there mysterious people everywhere in Shangyong?"
"My subordinates have been sent to check out the lame man who came into contact with Shen Lingxiang, but Mr. Luo's people are also keeping an eye on him. If he gets too close, he will inevitably bump into him."
The Luo family was not the only ones keeping an eye on Shen Lingxiang and Xie Chengyou, so as soon as Shen Lingxiang's carriage entered the west part of the city, which was not a place for someone with her status, the people who were staring at her immediately became alert.
Xie Yan said: "It doesn't matter."
Duoying was about to say yes when his eyes suddenly turned sharp and he looked towards the street corner not far to the left.
Xie Yan naturally noticed his eyes and glanced at him doubtfully.
Dieying whispered: "It seems to be Miss Luo. It will be dark soon. Why is she here?"
Xie Yan pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Go and do the work."
Duoying was stunned for a moment, "Then, Your Majesty..."
Xie Yan said: "Don't worry about me." After saying that, he turned around and walked in the direction where Duanying was looking.
Duiying stared at the back of his prince and stayed there for a long time before coming back to his senses and turning around in the opposite direction.
Xie Yan turned the corner and saw Luo Junyao's figure not long after.
The little girl was wearing a light blue dress today, her hair was only tied with a hair tie, and she looked very low-key.
The thin and soft headband blows in the breeze, making it very smart and cute.
Xie Yan stood on the side of the street and saw her turn to the alley on the other side. He looked around and saw no one, so he quickly climbed from the wall to the second floor window, got in and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xie Yan was a little curious. The second girl of the Luo family couldn't go anywhere in this huge capital city, and she still had to climb through other people's windows in the street?
I'm not afraid of falling down accidentally.
Luo Junyao climbed up from the window to the second floor and got into a room. There was no one in the room.
Luo Junyao quickly arranged his clothes and walked quickly to the door.
Just then I heard the attentive voice of a young man coming from outside the door, "Girl, the private room on the third floor has been reserved. Please come upstairs."
Luo Junyao quietly opened the door a small crack, and happened to see a young man who looked like a clerk leading a girl to the third floor.
The girl was dressed inconspicuously. At first glance, she looked like a Xiaojiabiyu, with a light cyan veil on her face.
But an ordinary civilian girl cannot allow the clerk in a place like this to be so attentive and considerate to her, and Luo Junyao also knew that this girl was none other than Shen Lingxiang.
Because she followed her all the way from the Luo family to here.
Luo Junyao was not surprised why Shen Lingxiang came here at this time. It was very close to Prince Mu's Mansion and the Regent's Mansion. If she had something urgent and wanted to meet with Xie Chengyou, she couldn't go outside the city like before. This was also a good place. Already.
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes and was about to push the door open when he suddenly heard a soft sound behind him.
She turned back sharply and stabbed out the Youyue Thorn in her hand without hesitation.
A warm hand held her stabbed wrist, and a familiar voice sounded at the same time, "Why is the evil spirit so strong?"
Luo Junyao's eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly controlled his expression and lowered his voice and asked, "My lord, why are you here?" He also climbed in through the window like her.
Luo Junyao looked at the still open window over there and suddenly realized.
He remembered what Qin Ning said to him that day and the strange dream, and couldn't help but step back, "My lord, did you see me..." He pointed to the window and felt depressed.
Xie Yan looked at the girl's pretty face, her eyes rolling around, and her guilty look, which was a little funny, "Who are you following?"
"how do you know?"
Xie Yan smiled and said: "Otherwise, could it be that Miss Luo is bored and wants to try what it feels like to climb through a window?"
Luo Junyao naturally heard the ridicule in his words, but her heart was pounding a little at this time, and she was surprised that Xie Yan could tease herself so easily.
Luo Junyao didn't hide it from him, and said: "I am following my cousin. I guess she secretly disguised herself and ran out at this time to see Xie Chengyou."
Xie Yan frowned slightly, "Do you still remember Xie Chengyou?"
Luo Junyao said strangely: "I haven't lost my memory...ah, I mean, I hold a grudge."
"Just a grudge?" This girl said so confidently about her grudge.
Luo Junyao said matter-of-factly, "Otherwise? Am I going to have to live and die?"
Xie Yan nodded, "Very good."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Of course it's good."
"Want to hear what they have to say?" Xie Yan asked.
Luo Junyao then remembered the business and said with a bit of dissatisfaction: "If you hadn't come up suddenly, I would have gone up."
Xie Yan shook his head, "Even if you go up there, you may not be able to get close to their room."
The windows on the third floor faced the street. People were coming and going on the street at this time, so it was impossible to climb up without being seen.
Luo Jun said: "I have my own way."
Xie Yan said: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
He took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Luo Junyao, saying: "Show this to the shopkeeper, he will help you arrange it."
Luo Junyao took the token with some hesitation. It was a gilt sign with two dragons holding beads, with the word "Chu" engraved in the middle.
Luo Junyao knew that this was Xie Yan's identity token.
"No?" Seeing her delay in answering, Xie Yan asked with raised eyebrows.
"Yes!" Luo Junyao quickly reached out to take it. Someone offered to help. Don't ask for it in vain.
The regent's face was really useful. After seeing the token, the shopkeeper arranged for them the room next door to where Shen Lingxiang was staying without hesitation.
According to the shopkeeper, Shen Lingxiang booked the two wings on the left and right of the room together. Although the third floor is also a private room, it is different from the second floor. It is impossible to go up without someone to guide the way.
Of course, there are exceptions like Luo Junyao who don't take the usual path.
The shopkeeper was also very discerning and did not ask how Luo Junyao appeared in the private room on the second floor.
While Shen Lingxiang was anxiously waiting for Xie Chengyou in the private room, Luo Junyao and Xie Yan were drinking the finest tea next door to her.
She also didn't know that the room she spent her wallet on was being used by someone else.
Luo Junyao sat opposite Xie Yan, looking at the man in front of him who was drinking tea calmly, feeling a little lost for a moment.
That handsome and unparalleled face became more ethereal and distant after the curl of smoke, and several dim scenes quickly passed through Luo Junyao's mind.
In the dim light, the man's tall nose and thin lips seemed to be particularly clear.
Luo Junyao groaned in pain and raised his hand to pat his forehead.
Luo Junyao, are you crazy?!
You are only seventeen, ah no...at the age of twenty-three, do you become an LSP?
"What's going on?" Xie Yan looked at the strange and changeable expression of the girl in front of him with some strangeness.
"No... I just thought that after waiting for so long, maybe Xie Chengyou won't come back. Should I go back first? So that my dad and the others won't worry." Luo Junyao said quickly.
Xie Yan felt helpless when he saw the little girl looking like she would jump up and run out the next moment.
It seems that he is indeed old and has no idea what the little girl is thinking about now.
"Don't worry, since that girl is here, she must be sure that Xie Chengyou will come to see her. Are you following her just because you have a grudge? Do you want to cause trouble for Xie Chengyou?" Xie Yan said.
Luo Jun shook his head again and again and said, "That's not entirely true. I just want to know... who is secretly plotting against our Luo family and me."
Xie Yan said: "That girl went to Yongping Lane today, did your father and brother tell you?"
Luo Junyao was startled, "My lord, you also know? Are you sending someone to follow your cousin? Why?"
Xie Yan said: "Xie Chengyou is still a member of the Chu Palace after all."
"Oh." Luo Junyao actually didn't quite understand the logic. Just as he was about to ask again, Xie Yan said, "Here he comes."
Luo Junyao immediately shut up and listened to the sounds outside, but did not hear anything.
After a while, I heard two footsteps passing by outside, and then opened the door of the next room.
Luo Junyao immediately became excited. He didn't care that Xie Yan was still sitting aside, and quietly slipped into the small hall outside the private room, leaning against the wall and listening to what was going on next to him.
Seeing her like this, Xie Yan shook his head helplessly but didn't say much.
When Shen Lingxiang saw Xie Chengyou, his eyes immediately turned red, he stood up and threw himself into Xie Chengyou's arms.
"Seungwoo!"
Xie Chengyou was also very excited when he saw her like this.
During this period of time, he was either recovering from his injuries or being grounded, so he could not see her at all. Considering the character of the Luo family and Luo Junyao, one can imagine how much grievance Ling Xiang suffered.
He took Shen Lingxiang into his arms and said softly: "Lingxiang, it's me who can't help you and makes you feel wronged."
When Shen Lingxiang heard this, he cried even more sadly, as if he wanted to vent all the fear and grievances he had felt these days.
Xie Chengyou was naturally heartbroken and hugged Shen Lingxiang and whispered comfort.
Luo Junyao, who was eavesdropping nearby, was already a little impatient. Here, Shen Lingxiang finally stopped crying.
"Lingxiang, you hurriedly asked someone to send a message to me, but what's the urgent matter?" Xie Chengyou hugged Shen Lingxiang and asked softly, "If I hadn't been summoned by my grandfather to Prince Mu's Mansion today, I might not have been able to come out to see you. ."
Shen Lingxiang was silent for a moment and whispered: "Today, my eldest cousin said... that after Luo Mingxiang leaves the cabinet, he will choose a family for me, and I must marry him within a month."
"What?!" Xie Chengyou was startled, then angry, "How could Luo Jinyan do this? From choosing a person to getting married in one month, how can he find a good family? Didn't he intentionally harm you?"
He was filled with indignation when he said this, but he didn't know that Shen Lingxiang's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
