"Why am I here? Brother Huang? Don't stop me, I want to go back to the palace!"

In an elegant residence built on the outskirts of the capital, Princess Yuanxi angrily waved the long whip in her hand, trying to break free from the guards and return to the palace as soon as possible to help Gao Heng.

Although it is just a simple and simple grass house, the air is fresh, the scenery is pleasant on all sides, and there are few people.

Because it is built in the middle of the lake, it is necessary to row a boat to reach it, so you can see who is visiting at a glance.

So it is also the secret that Yuan Peng used to hide people's eyes.

After a night in a coma, at this time the medicinal properties had passed, and Princess Yuanxi had completely regained consciousness.

But she didn't understand why she suddenly fell into a coma.

Unknowingly, she was inexplicably placed in this place where she had never been.

She only vaguely remembered that she was obviously discussing the old case with Yuan Peng about the old case of Guanyin, and she wanted to help Gao Heng fight back against the prince.

But just after drinking a cup of tea at hand, she suddenly felt drowsy, and soon fell unconscious.

Although countless questions surfaced in her mind, Princess Yuan Xi still faintly realized that all of this was inseparable from Yuan Peng.

It seems that he doesn't want to let himself have access to this old official and silver case, and he doesn't even want to get Gao Heng out of this predicament.

However, Princess Yuanxi didn't want to admit it or believe it.

After all, Yuan Peng loved her sister very much, and he was dedicated to helping her marry into the Yanwang Mansion.

There was no reason for him to do so.

But at this moment, Princess Yuan Xi didn't have the heart to think about what Yuan Peng's purpose was for doing this.

It was now the time of the hour, that is, the deadline agreed between the prince and Gao Heng.

In any case, she must return to the palace as soon as possible.

And just when the guards set up by Yuan Peng couldn't resist Princess Yuan Xi's merciless long whip, they complained bitterly in their hearts.

But I saw that on the rippling floating lake, a lacquer-colored canoe with green waves rippling slightly, slowly appearing in the field of vision, slowly approaching the grass house.

And the person standing on the edge of the boat with his hands in his hands is none other than Hengwang Yuanpeng.

Last night, Gao Heng raided Huayi Lane, and he naturally heard about it.

It's just that like the crown prince, he didn't expect that just when he thought that he would be determined to succeed this time, he would be tracked down by Gao Heng to find out Cheng Jinzhi's whereabouts.

Not only that, but Cen Feng, a difficult character to deal with, was actually killed.

And what made him feel guilty the most was that the prince would be ruthless and burn Cheng Jinzhi and the child in her womb alive in the room. He also transferred the bows and arrows of the city defense battalion in an attempt to kill Gao Heng.

Although he admits that he is not a charitable and benevolent person, in this matter, the prince's impulsive and ruthless behavior really made Yuan Peng feel a sense of discomfort in his heart.

By now, the situation in this chess game has been in chaos.

Since Tu Ling Si has intervened, Emperor Zhou will inevitably intervene in this matter.

But as for the specific situation, he is not clear.

It's just that Yuan Peng, as the most hidden and unexposed figure in this matter, must make himself look like an outsider and can't have any contact with the prince at this critical moment.

However, according to his expectations, from the time he sent someone to arrest Cheng Jinzhi, everything was carried out secretly and unknowingly, leaving almost nothing for outsiders to take advantage of.

As long as the prince's death bite has nothing to do with this matter, just based on Gao Heng's words, he should not be able to set off any strong winds and waves.

What he is most worried about and worried about at the moment is Princess Yuanxi, who has already doubted himself.

If she had kept silent at the beginning, she would have denied the connection between the prince and the old case of the official bank in front of her.

Now you can save a lot of trouble with extraneous problems.

Because he knows very well that his sister is by no means a person who can be easily fooled.

"I knew that when you woke up, you would make a lot of noise and try to demolish my cottage. ā€

Although the mood of this matter was complicated and heavy, in front of Princess Yuan Xi, Yuan Peng still pretended to be calm and calm, and stepped off the board with a smile.

"It's the imperial brother who you put in my tea, and you also asked people to send me to this place, right?"

As soon as she saw Yuan Peng, Princess Yuan Xi pursed her lips, stepped forward with a stern expression, and asked the doubts in her heart.

But the slender eyelashes were trembling slightly, as if he was a little afraid to hear Yuan Peng's affirmative answer.

"It's me. ā€

Seeing that Princess Yuan Xi was outspoken, Yuan Peng also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he tightened his gaze and nodded seriously.

"But I'm doing it for your own good. ā€

"Good for me?"

Princess Yuanxi's eyes tightened when she heard this, and the reproach and surprise in her eyes overflowed at the same time.

"You trapped me in this place, and let me watch my husband in danger and not be able to help, what kind of good is this for me?"

"Xi'er, King Yan is fine, don't worry. ā€

Yuan Peng raised his hand and patted Princess Yuanxi's arm, a comforting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't dare to look directly at Princess Yuanxi's sharp eyes.

"It's... What the hell is going on? Brother Huang, what are you hiding from me?"

In the face of Yuan Peng's seemingly deliberately evasive, but crucial answer, although Princess Yuan Xi was relieved about Gao Heng's current situation, the doubts in her heart were still not alleviated in the slightest.

On the contrary, it continues unabated.

Because in her opinion, the more Yuan Peng dares not face the problem head-on, the more it proves that there must be secrets hidden behind this that she doesn't know.

"Xi'er, the old case of Guanyin is too widely implicated, you shouldn't be involved. Brother Huang did all this to keep you safe and sound. If you still believe me as a brother, don't ask. ā€

Yuan Peng still did not clear the doubts in his heart for Princess Yuanxi, but after looking at the vast lake with deep eyes, he turned his head and raised his hands to clasp Princess Yuanxi's shoulders.

"Brother Huang, of course I believe you. ā€

Looking at Yuan Peng's forbearant and bitter eyes, Princess Yuan Xi's heart softened, and she moved her lips with some hesitation, and stopped talking.

In this strange place, thousands of miles away from her homeland, if she didn't even believe in this brother, who else could she trust?

Moreover, since she was a child, she has always believed in everything Yuan Peng said.

So after being silent for a long time, he finally temporarily suppressed the doubts and complicated emotions in his heart, turned around and took a deep breath, and said with a complicated expression.

"In my heart, you are the only person in this world who will not lie to me. ā€
