"I came here today because I actually want to ask something clearly in person and seek clarification——"
King Yan spoke again, his hoarse voice particularly clear in the quiet elegant room: "A Yuan, is he...?"
At this point, King Yan's eyes, which were almost fixed on Wu Jingming, suddenly changed.
Wu Jingming sighed slightly, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly saw King Yan raising his hand, stopping him from what he was about to say.
King Yan turned his face slightly toward the inner room, and asked in a calm and vigilant voice: "Ji Ping, did you bring anyone else with you when you came tonight?"
In the cabinet, Xu Mingyi's expression suddenly changed.
This...was discovered?!
But they didn't seem to make any noise!
"We have brought people with us, but they are all guarding outside at this time." Wu Jingming asked doubtfully, "But is there anything wrong with it?"
"I'm afraid there is a third person in this room at this time." As King Yan spoke, he stood up from his chair on alert and looked towards the dimly lit compartment.
Wu Jingming felt a shiver in his heart, and he also stood up, but he frowned and whispered: "Normally it shouldn't be... this is not a place that outsiders can approach."
Especially tonight -
He was going to meet with King Yan here, and everyone in the hall was on guard. How could such a mistake happen?
King Yan's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he pressed back the dagger hidden in his waist.
I don't know what I thought of, but my tone softened a little: "If it's not an outsider, then it can only be my own family."
Immediately, he put his hands behind his back and raised his voice in the direction of the cubicle: "Whoever it is, please come out first. There is no need to hide anymore."
In the lacquered wood wardrobe, Xu Mingyi looked at Wu Chao with complicated eyes.
Was it the first time we cooperated and we were caught red-handed?
But I haven't heard what I really wanted to hear before I could hear it, so I really missed the mark.
Wu Chao didn't hesitate much, and there was no room for hesitation at the moment——
He pushed open the cabinet door and stepped out of the closet.
Looking at the young man who suddenly emerged from the cabinet, Wu Jingming's eyes widened in disbelief: "...A Yuan?!"
When would A Yuan be able to do such a thing as hiding in a cupboard and eavesdropping!
However, this is not the end.
The next moment, Prince Wu saw his son hand his hand towards the cabinet door. Soon, another hand stretched out from the cabinet, placed it on his son's hand, and used the force to get out of the cabinet.
came out.
Wu Jingming fell into surprise again, subconsciously looking at the cabinet that seemed small but seemed to reveal unspeakable mystery and mystery - is there any more?
Xu Mingyi lowered his head, straightened his clothes, and followed Wu Chao out of the cubicle.
Looking at the young man walking towards him, King Yan's fingers behind his back trembled slightly, and then slowly tightened.
"Father, Your Majesty——"
Wu Chao raised his hand in salute with a relatively calm demeanor.
Xu Mingyi raised his hand along with him.
Only then did Wu Jingming see her appearance clearly, and he was secretly shocked: "...Miss Xu?"
He asked how his son could be so considerate to a young boy, yet he didn't forget to reach out and pull him out. This is what happened!
But... his son took Miss Xu from Zhenguo's Mansion... and hid in the cupboard together?!
Is this appropriate?
Under the huge shock, Prince Wu even couldn't tell what was the important point for a while.
Xu Mingyi tried his best not to look so guilty, nodded and said, "...it's just this junior."
"This..." Wu Jingming could only look at his son: "Ayuan, how could you lead a girl named Xu to do such nonsense?"
Wu Chao raised his hand again, but his eyes were fixed on King Yan: "What you do in a hurry is very offensive -"
Their eyes met, King Yan couldn't tell how he felt in his heart, he just said: "It doesn't matter."
Seeing the two people looking at each other silently, Wu Jingming felt very complicated.
His father had made an explanation before, but this time he was only allowed to take the opportunity to confess the matter to King Yan face to face...
But now A Yuan unexpectedly appeared here.
What should he say to whitewash the situation, or pretend that everything is business as usual and nothing exists?
However, as a child who has watched him grow up, he knows that A Yuan has always been smart and sharp. Now that he appears in this way, it is enough to show that he knows something more or less...
But this matter must not be spread out.
"The prince and I came here today just to reminisce about old times." Wu Jingming looked at his son and said, "Ayuan, please send Miss Xu back to the house first, so as not to worry that the town government can't find anyone."
"The old things that the father wants to tell the prince are also what the son wants to know." The young man's eyes and tone were both calm: "And what the son can know, there is no need to hide it from Miss Xu——"
Wu Jingming's eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard this.
What does this mean?
Looking at the girl standing next to his son, Wu Jingming felt shocked and complicated - why did he even have the illusion that 'this is his future daughter-in-law'?!
King Yan also subconsciously looked at the neat and elegant girl dressed as a man.
Xu Mingyi lightly touched Wu Chao's sleeve and said, "You talk to Uncle Wu and the prince first, I'll go downstairs and wait for you -"
She knew that Wu Chao had no intention of avoiding her in everything, but that was a matter between her and Wu Chao.
And she was not even acquainted with Prince Wu and Prince Yan. If she stayed here and did not leave, it would be rude not to mention it, and it would be difficult for this conversation to continue.
Wu Chao turned to look at her and nodded when he saw her eyes.
King Yan raised his hand and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Xu."
As someone who was caught eavesdropping, Xu Mingyi felt a little guilty when these words of thanks came to her ears. Fortunately, she was thick-skinned enough and said calmly: "Your Majesty has spoken seriously, I will take my leave."
After saying that, after hesitating between the window and the door for a moment, he finally chose to open the door and walk out.
The waiter who was guarding the corner of the stairs couldn't help being surprised when he saw her coming down from the stairs. His eyes were filled with surprise: "Girl... aren't you behind?"
No one was seen coming out of the backyard. How on earth did they get up here?
Is he blind or?
Xu Mingyi coughed lightly: "Just take a walk."
The man's heart was in turmoil.
Wandering around casually would be a bit life-threatening, right?
...If he takes this casual approach, when he sees this girl again later, will she just sit in their secret room drinking tea?!
The guy felt more uneasy than ever.
besides--
Where is his young master?
Seeing the girl going downstairs very calmly, the guy hurriedly caught up and asked in a low voice: "May I ask the girl, where is the young man who is with the girl?"
"He..." Xu Mingyi pointed in the direction of the private room upstairs: "He's over there."
Looking in the direction of her finger, the man opened his mouth in shock.
...Can any kind-hearted person explain to him how the young master and this girl went upstairs?
