Everyone stood up, wondering why His Highness the Crown Prince was here? Could it be that they heard something?
Xiao Zhe took a look at Huangfuchen's face, but could not tell whether he was happy or angry, so he had to ask carefully, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
Speaking of His Highness the Crown Prince of Qinglong Kingdom, everyone knows about him.
The young man became famous and became famous all over the world.
At the age of thirteen, he was named the prince and entered the East Palace. At the age of fifteen, he made a splash in the sect competition and was selected by the Tianxing Sect in the land of Middle Earth. However, he did not enter the sect, but stayed in Qinglong
country.
You know, the reputation of Tianxing Sect is beyond even the reach of Taihe Sect and Chiyang Sect!
After Huangfu Chen, who was only fifteen years old at the time, refused to join the sect, not only was he not hunted down by the sect, but because of his extraordinary talent, he was valued by the head of the Tianxing Sect, who specifically allowed him to join the sect after he was twenty-five years old.
!
This incident caused a lot of waves in various countries at the time. Since then, Huangfuchen's name has spread and been respected by thousands of people.
When Huangfuchen was twenty years old, he was given the post of supervising the country. The Qinglong Kingdom was also in his hands and became more and more powerful. It can be said that Huangfuchen's reputation is probably unknown to all the people of the Qinglong Kingdom. He is very popular among the people.
The image in my heart has long been a myth.
Now that they could actually see His Royal Highness in person, everyone present was excited.
Especially the noble ladies from aristocratic families screamed with excitement!
"Ah... look! It's really His Highness the Crown Prince!!"
"Oh my god, His Highness the Crown Prince just looked at me! He looked at me!"
"What are you looking at? You are obviously looking at me?"
"Look at me!!"
"Look at me..."
The women were chattering and almost started fighting!
Ling Xuewei looked at these crazy women on the side and saw once again that the level of nymphomaniacs among ancient women was no less than that of modern people chasing stars.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince is really popular.
Huangfu Chen whispered to An Yi beside him, An Yi nodded, and then led a group of armored soldiers down.
Xiao Zhe quickly surrounded the Xiao family's guards. Seeing this, Xiao Zhe's face darkened, "What are you doing, Your Highness?"
Huangfu Chen lazily said, "I should ask the Fourth Elder this question. Tonight is the lantern festival, and many foreign envoys are visiting, but the Fourth Elder leads so many Xiao family children to cause trouble here. Why is this?"
"His Royal Highness, please calm down. It's not that I deliberately caused trouble, but I heard that Xiao Yifeng, the traitor of the Xiao family, was here and also kidnapped my son Xiao Ling, so I rushed here in a hurry. I am also concerned about this, but it will cause chaos!"
Xiao Zhe had a clear view and put all the blame on Xiao Yifeng. But did he think everyone else was blind?
An glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "Isn't it right for the Fourth Elder to say this? If I'm not mistaken, it was your people who took action first, and they were just on guard. Your son was provocative before, but later
He was the one who made the first move. In the end, he was defeated and was restrained. Am I right?"
Xiao Zhe was shocked.
How do they know? Could it be that His Royal Highness has already arrived?
"An Yi, don't be rude." Huangfu Chen opened his mouth, bowed quietly, and then withdrew.
Huangfu Chen looked at Xiao Zhe, who had an ugly expression, and said with a smile, "Fourth Elder, today is our Qinglong's traditional lantern festival, and the whole country is celebrating. At this time, it is really not appropriate to start a big fight. What's more, this is Crescent Moon Lake, and there are many people and tourists.
If you accidentally involve them, how do you ask me to explain it to my father?"
"But Your Highness..."
"Furthermore, I have seen what happened just now. I think everyone here understands the right and wrong. Fourth Elder, what do you think?"
Xiao Zhe's face looked extremely ugly.
What does the prince mean? Could it be that he discovered that he used poisonous smoke to frame Xiao Yifeng? But even so, Huangfu Chen has never been a nosy person, so why did he speak for Xiao Yifeng today?
Huangfu Chen, as the crown prince of the Qinglong Kingdom, was worth more than ten thousand people. Even the Xiao family, one of the four major families, had to show courtesy in front of him.
But if he was allowed to just watch Xiao Yifeng escape, how could he be willing to do so? Wouldn't all the careful planning tonight be in vain?!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." He was about to say something else, but at this moment, several figures suddenly flashed past quickly, and Xiao Ning, the head of the Xiao family, rushed over after hearing the news.
"Fourth brother, shut up!" Xiao Ning shouted sharply, and then saluted Huangfu Chen, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I, a member of the Xiao family, was reckless today. Please forgive me."
"So it's Patriarch Xiao. Long time no see. Is everything okay?" Huangfuchen asked with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Everything is fine, old minister." Xiao Ning replied, then turned to look at Xiao Zhe with a stern expression, and shouted, "Fourth brother, how can you be so impulsive! You don't even look at where this place is, so you just keep it secret
Bring someone here! If you startled His Highness the Crown Prince, what crime would you be guilty of?!"
"But brother..."
Xiao Zhe wanted to say something else, but was silenced by Xiao Ning's look.
Tonight's matter was decided by him privately. After much thought, he couldn't let the scourge Xiao Yifeng continue to exist! So he came up with this idea to frame him, so that if something happened to Crescent Lake,
Whatever happened, he will be held accountable. When the time comes, wouldn’t it be easy to find a way to catch him?!
It's just that he didn't expect that before his goal was achieved, a prince would show up halfway! It completely disrupted his plan! Now, not only did the plan fail, but it also made his elder brother dissatisfied. Just thinking about it made him angry!
But Ling Xuewei didn't think so.
Xiao Zhe sent out so many Xiao family guards. As the head of the family, would Xiao Ning not notice at all? It seems that he also wanted to use this matter to suppress Xiao Yifeng's arrogance and at the same time find out their background. But he didn't expect that the prince
Will His Highness suddenly appear?
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I, the Xiao family, are willing to take full responsibility for what happened tonight. All injured people and those implicated can go to my Xiao family's pharmacy for medical treatment. I will also arrange for the corresponding people to receive them. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
.”
Xiao Ning, the leader of the clan, did not do it for nothing. Now that he knew what happened tonight, he made a decisive decision in order to win people's hearts.
I have to say that compared to the fourth elder Xiao Zhe, this Xiao Ning is not the least bit scheming.
Although Xiao Zhe was resentful in his heart, he did not dare to say anything more in front of his elder brother. After all, he messed up tonight.
Huangfu Chen's deep eyes flashed slightly and he said with a smile, "Okay! The Xiao family deserves to be a big family! Today's actions make me look at them with admiration! Since the Xiao clan leader said so, tonight's matter is over. Fourth Elder, what do you think?
"
Xiao Zhe looked unwilling, but he still had to say, "I have no objection. I just obey the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince and the clan leader."
"Okay, Patriarch Xiao, then I will leave this place to you. I will order An Yi to assist you. If you have any questions, please report to me at any time."
"Yes, I obey."
Huangfuchen arranged the relevant matters and left. An Yi led a team of armored soldiers and began to deal with the aftermath with the children of the Xiao family.
Xiao Zhe over there glared at this side angrily, and then walked away with a puff of sleeves.
Xiao Ling still didn't forget about being kidnapped by Ling Xuewei. He pointed at her and gritted his teeth and said, "Bad boy, I will remember you! Don't let me catch you in the future, or I will break your legs!"
After saying that, he left angrily!
Ling Xuewei didn't pay attention to his warning at all, she looked at Xiao Yifeng and then prepared to leave.
At this moment, a person stood in front of them.
"You two, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you." The person who came was none other than An Jiu.
Ling Xuewei glanced at Xiao Yifeng, and then said calmly, "Your Excellency, please lead the way."
Since that person was His Highness the Crown Prince, she had no reason to refuse him due to both sentiment and reason.
What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the prince showed up just now to help them. If he doesn't thank him again, it will be unjustifiable.
But why did Huangfu Chen help them?
The two were taken to the luxurious boat and stopped in front of a door on the third floor.
"Your Highness, we are here."
"Come in."
A man's deep voice came from inside.
An Jiu opened the door and said to Ling Xuewei, "Please."
Ling Xuewei nodded to him, and then walked in with Xiao Yifeng.
The space inside is very large, and the decoration is luxurious and grand, without losing the royal style. In the room, Huangfu Chen sat at the table, saw the two of them, and said with a smile, "Here you two are."
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." Ling Xuewei and Xiao Yifeng saluted.
"No need to be polite, just sit down."
Huangfuchen's tone was very calm, as if he was a good friend he had known for many years.
The two of them walked forward and sat down. Huangfu Chen personally poured two cups of Yuqian Longjing and placed them in front of them. "Try it. This is the new tribute tea this year. It tastes pretty good."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
They didn't know what Huangfu Chen meant by calling them here, so they could only take one step at a time.
At least Ling Xuewei didn't feel any malice from him. Moreover, Huangfu Chen helped them tonight, although his purpose is not yet clear.
"Thanks to His Highness for taking action tonight, we were able to escape from danger. If anything happens to His Highness, please feel free to tell me."
Huangfu Chen looked at the dark-eyed young man in front of him, and slightly raised his lips, "Including this time, I have invited this young master three times in total. You rejected the first two times, but I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon.
It seems that you and I are destined to be together, but we have met three times, and I don’t even know your name, so I don’t know how to address you.”
Ling Xuewei's eyes flashed slightly and she said, "My dear, Ling Feng, I have offended you a lot because I didn't know your highness's identity. I hope your highness will forgive you."
"Ling Feng..." Huangfu Chen murmured these two words, and then smiled, "It doesn't matter, if I had known it a long time ago, wouldn't it be boring? What's more, I like your personality very much, so it's good to keep it as it is.
.”
Ling Xuewei was startled and didn't know what to say.
Regarding this Crown Prince, I don't know whether to say that he is deep-minded or straightforward. After all, they have not met him three times in total.
But judging from what Huangfu Chen said, it seemed that he was... very optimistic about her?!
Um...she must be thinking too much. Could it be that she has been suffering from narcissism recently?
