Chapter X

Meet the Prince

"Your father's funeral has been done, right? It's been a long time since you came to the palace, how are you, are you still used to it?" the prince looked at Xiao Gong and asked kindly.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie cares, and with the help of Lord Wang, everything is going smoothly for his father's funeral. The sisters in the house also take good care of Xiao Gong, Xiao Gong only serves His Royal Highness wholeheartedly, and does not dare to expect anything else. When Xiao Gong saw that the prince was asking about her father, she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to answer.

"Of course, you can't ask for anything that doesn't belong to you, but you still have to be enterprising. The prince knew that Xiao Gong's words meant something, so how could he answer so easily, but he just prevaricated with some ambiguous reasoning, and then asked him what he was most curious about at the moment.

I only heard him then said casually: "By the way, I heard that you have already met Mr. Murong last night, how is it, what did you all talk about?"

Seeing that the prince asked about last night, Xiao Luo subconsciously looked at Murong Shuo on the side, and saw that he didn't look at himself at all, but his face was not very good, so he said timidly: "Back to Your Highness, Mr. Murong just had the same doubts as Lord Wang before, and came over to ask about Xiao Gong's life experience, and there was nothing else." ”

"Is there really anything else? Although Sir is a guest, if there is any rudeness to you, you can also explain it to this palace. This palace will make decisions for you. The prince saw that Xiaogong refused to say anything, and said with a sincere face.

The prince's personality is steady and respectful, but he can't help but joke about friends who are as sincere as Murong Shuo. deliberately said this to Xiao Gong, just to hear how Xiao Gong would answer what happened to Murong Shuo last night.

Murong Shuo on the side naturally heard the prince's question. Although he knew that the prince was joking, his purpose was just to ask from Xiao Gong's mouth what happened last night so that he could make a judgment. But since he didn't want to say it just now, he didn't want the prince to know. One of the reasons is, of course, that he doesn't want him to worry about himself, and there is a more important reason that he doesn't want their junior sister, Qiao Zhihan, to know.

Murong Shuo knew that since this little gong dared to swear in front of him, he naturally wished that this matter would be known by everyone. Great Qi revered the power of the Divine Tree and never dared to disturb the Divine Tree at will. And once you make an oath to God, this courage alone cannot but be impressive.

In particular, she made a vow of "life to life". Regardless of whether she could withstand the test of the Divine Tree in the end, even if she just talked about it, it made Murong Shuo feel afraid for a while when she thought about it now. If this matter is really known by the junior sister, then his hope will be even more slim.

Therefore, Murong Shuo, who was afraid that Xiao Gong would leak this matter, finally turned his gaze to Xiao Luo, and threw it over with a fierce look, whether she saw it or not, it was certain that her scalp would be numb. If she dares to talk nonsense, believe it or not, he will drive her away immediately!

Xiao Gong was on his knees, thinking about when to tell him about last night. But Murong Shuo suddenly threw a knife in the eye, and she experienced the coercion of this invisible aura for the first time, and she suddenly froze in place, her heart shrank violently, and she was at a loss all of a sudden.

And her most natural and real reaction made the crown prince sitting at the top and Murong Shuo on the side stunned. Murong Shuo's movements, the prince naturally saw it clearly. Murong Shuo didn't want her to say it, naturally he had his intentions, and this prince understood it very well. And the prince also expected that Xiao Gong would definitely say. It's just that he didn't expect that this not simple little gong was really frightened by Murong Shuo's eye knife. If this is also acting, then she really can't be underestimated.

The prince who was not sure immediately looked at Murong Shuo on the side. But after exchanging glances with him, the information he got turned out to be shocked and incomprehensible. Murong Shuo could see it most clearly, she was really scared. Moreover, she is not pretending, it is her most real reaction after her eye knife flies away. As long as she had any adulteration, Murong Shuo could easily see through it. But her most real reaction made Murong Shuo a little overwhelmed.

When the prince saw this, he also knew that if Murong Shuo continued to be here, she would not say anything. If she doesn't speak, she won't be able to find a flaw. Helpless, the prince had no choice but to say to Murong Shuo: "Mr. Murong, there are still some fragrant teas newly appreciated by my father in the inner hall of this palace, why don't you taste the products for this palace first?"

"Those are the gifts given by the Holy God to His Highness, and in the next cloth clothes, he was given by His Highness to live in the mansion, how dare he go beyond it. Murong Shuo got up and politely declined. He didn't worry about this woman being alone with the prince, what if she repeated what happened last night, or plotted against the prince!

"Sir's words are serious, please don't shirk it. Please, sir. Seeing Murong Shuo's refusal, the prince got up directly and invited him to the back hall.

The crown prince knew that Murong Shuo was worried about him, but since he was fine yesterday, he would be fine today. It costs no less to arrange a fine work to enter the mansion than it does to assassinate yourself. One of them is more calculating than the other, how can they stop the trouble at this time.

Murong Shuo saw the prince's persistence and his self-confidence, and he didn't want to lose the prince's face too much. I had no choice but to bow respectfully and enter the back hall. But he didn't really go to taste the tea, as the prince said, but stood at the corner of the back hall and the front hall, not only hiding himself, but also hearing everything that happened in the front hall with his ears.

The prince sent Murong Shuo away, paused and came back, walked directly in front of Xiao Luo, squatted down, and comforted: "Okay, he has left." You don't have to be afraid. Stand up and talk. ”

"Too, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Your Highness. Xiao Gong's body gradually regained consciousness after Murong Shuo left, and his whole leg was numb, and he slowly stood up after thanking the prince for a while.

"Okay, you can tell Hongu honestly. What did you say last night, and why is he angry at you?" asked the prince after waiting for Xiao Gong to get up, taking a few steps back.

"Actually, it's really nothing. It's just that Mr. is angry, he should dislike Xiaogong. It was Xiao Gong who was not worthy of Mr., but Xiao Gong didn't know what was wrong at the time, so he felt that he had to do that. Xiao Gong's body trembled slightly, and he didn't know if it was because he was tired before, or because he was frightened by Murong Shuo, and even his voice sounded a little trembling.

"What did you do?" the prince listened to Xiao Gong's words, and became more and more curious. What does it mean to be unworthy? It can't be what he understands.

"Back to Your Highness, you may have said that you would also think that it was the extravagant hope of the little gong. But Xiaogong knew that it wasn't my delusion. In the near future, Xiao Gong and Mr. will definitely get married. Although, Xiao Gong and Mr. have just met. Xiao Gong was full of grievances but convinced.
