Smelling the aroma of food, Ximenche's mouth was filled with water. It had been many days since he had had a good meal. After returning from northern Xinjiang, he thought he would soon be able to return to his former leisurely and luxurious days. Who knew?
Zhi was almost reduced to the point of running away.
However, he wanted to eat, but Ximenche also knew not to show his hunger, and he also knew how to endure it and pay careful attention to his surroundings.
Lin Xiner just stood outside the shed for a moment and then walked over.
The door of the shed is also made of branches and is ajar.
After Lin Xiner pushed open the door and entered, the two people just glanced at Ximen Che who was motionless, and then walked into the shed first.
On the ground where the shed was built, the snow had been cleared away. There was a fire burning in the middle, and the dry heat was permeating the small space. There were two game meats hanging on the fire rack, which were already roasted. The greedy ones were
The meaty aroma is what they give off.
On the other side of the fire rack were two skin bags for holding water. Since they had been smoked close to the fire for a long time, the water inside must not be cold.
"It seems that you are very attentive, thank you." Lin Xiner said, sitting next to the campfire, taking off the barbecue from the fire rack, tearing off a piece and throwing it to Ximenche, who came in last.
Ximenche took the piece of meat and froze it in his hand, wondering if he could eat it. Seeing Lin Xiner tearing off a small piece without any scruples and stuffing it into his mouth, chewing it and swallowing it, he sat down with some relief.
Then start eating.
"Where are they?" After her stomach was full, Lin Xiner picked up the skin bag beside her and drank some water before asking.
She is very calm and confident, and seems to know who she is facing without any introduction.
After hearing Lin Xiner's question, Ximen Che also raised his head and looked at the two people waiting at the door.
No words were spoken since entering the shed. The only quiet sound in the shed was the crackling sound of the fire.
Lin Xiner's sudden question also shocked him. Does she know their master?
This made him doubtful and nervous again. Was he being led by Lin Xiner unknowingly and landed somewhere?
"Miss Lin is worthy of being the young palace mistress of Shuiyue Palace. She is a smart person. Such a calm inquiry must have predicted the identity of our master. Our master also predicted in advance that Miss Lin will take this mountain road back to Beijing.
We are specially asked to respond here." One of them said, with an expression that showed his admiration for Lin Xiner's attitude.
From the moment he followed them to this shed, he showed no signs of surprise and ate the food they prepared without any scruples. Only by correctly judging the environment can he be so calm and calm. In contrast, that
The so-called prince is really inferior, but at this time, his position as prince has long been vacant. Whether he can continue to sit down depends on the wishes of their master.
Lin Xiner smiled slightly. This thoughtfulness made her heart feel as warm as the fire in front of her, coming from the wind and snow.
"Thank you, but I want to make it clear that I have nothing to do with Shuiyue Palace. Shuiyue Palace may still have a palace master or a young palace master, but it is not me." Lin Xiner emphasized.
"Who is their master?" Ximenche finally couldn't help but ask.
Among all the people, he was the only one who looked like a fool and was confused. This feeling of being left out was very unpleasant.
"This is Prince Xuan, your imperial uncle." Lin Xiner took the leather bag in her hand and said leisurely.
There was no news about him all the way, but I met his person here. Someone who can arrange things so carefully. He must be confident in solving the changes that happened in the capital.
Quiet but not chaotic, firm and orderly, this is the man she loves, and he will not let her down.
"It's him!"
Ximenche was surprised, but not too surprised.
"What on earth do you want to do by bringing me here?" Ximen stood up abruptly and dropped a bone in his hand that had not yet eaten the meat.
Lin Xiner lowered her eyes and glanced at the piece of bone that was thrown into the fire, which was quickly burned to a pitch black color, and said calmly, "You were the one who proposed to follow me in the first place, I'm just walking my own path.
"
"What's your path? You obviously hate Ximen Jingxuan deeply and want to get rid of him, but you secretly collude with each other and collude with each other?" Ximen Che was very angry, and his handsome face turned blue with anger.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry." Lin Xiner stood up and apologized to Ximenche sincerely.
Ximenche was stunned. Lin Xiner's attitude was something he didn't expect.
"Since leaving the martial arts training ground, I have used you to instigate your hostility towards Prince Xuan, and destroyed the relationship that your uncle and nephew have had for many years. This is all driven by formality. Only by disrupting the situation can we
Bringing out people who are hiding in the dark is also to uncover people who are doing bad things and protect the world. Now someone has taken advantage of the conflict between you and Prince Xuan, classifying Prince Xuan as a rebellious minister who cannot tolerate the emperor and the prince.
Whether that person really thinks so or is just following his plan, his purpose is already obvious." Lin Xiner said.
"Miss Lin, you don't need to apologize for him, and you don't need to explain. He may not understand what you are saying." A man in a white robe said, his disdain for Ximenche not concealed in his words.
Ximenche's face turned blue and white, and he was very embarrassed.
He was angry at Lin Xiner's use of him, but now she confessed to him and sincerely apologized, and he really couldn't understand the second half of what she said.
She said whose purpose was obvious? Prince Xuan was protecting the world, and who really wanted to destroy it?
Ximenche was very troubled. Although he followed Lin Xiner's words, he was not sure how much he could believe it. He was really frightened by the changing things.
"No, I must apologize." Lin Xiner said.
No matter what kind of person he is, he doesn't want to be a pawn that is used by others. What's more, Ximenche is just not suitable to be a king, but he is not a bad person. In addition to being spoiled since he was a child, he was a bit of a bastard when his mother treated him.
In addition to following his own temper and doing things that disregard the overall situation, such as refusing to marry, if we put aside his well-connected status as the prince, put aside the influence of power and just treat him as an ordinary person
, he is just a harmless person with a single personality.
Looking directly into Lin Xiner's sincere and firm gaze, Ximenche's anger gradually dissipated, replaced by inferiority and depression.
In the final analysis, it was still his fault that he did not have a pair of bright and sharp eyes, and he deserved to be led around by others.
His role as the prince was really boring. The Northern Xinjiang group showed him with his own eyes that after leaving the capital, even if he still had the halo of the prince, he was not that dazzling. Moreover, at this time, his father had passed away, and he was no longer a prince in name only.
