Chapter 345: Turning the Tide 5

His eyes lightly glanced at Qu Xiaoxiang who stretched out his hand to stop in front of him, Lin Ruo still had the usual just right smile on his face, and asked gently: "Xiaoxiang, is there something wrong?" ”

Being asked by Lin Ruo, Qu Xiaoxiang suddenly realized that this was not a good time to talk. There are many people, and this "Qu Lianyang", which makes Mrs. Xuanlu taboo and dare not talk about it, is not suitable for talking to Lin Ruopan at this time.

Qu Xiaoxiang, who swallowed the words back, wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly found that Su Muqing's gaze was intentionally or unintentionally moving to this side, changed her mind again, smiled back at Lin Ruo, pretended to be very intimate with her, hooked her arm, and began to talk cordially: "I'm just a little curious, why did you invite Prince Zhan here?" ”

How much Lin Ruo disliked Gu Mansion, even Qu Xiaoxiang, who was in the south, knew it. And this Prince Zhan is the quasi-son-in-law of Gu Shangshu's family, some time ago, I heard that this Prince Zhan stopped the carriage and was taught a lesson by Lin Ruo, why did Lin Ruo invite people to the palace to participate in the birthday banquet in a blink of an eye?

Qu Xiaoxiang didn't know about Murong Chong's injury in the north, and he didn't know that Lin Ruo had told Emperor Mingzong about Song Huan Chu's situation, so he naturally couldn't guess Lin Ruo's purpose in inviting Song Huan Chu to come.

The reason why Song Huan Chu was invited over was that he planned to explore the details of the masters around the other party, secondly, to make the Wing Huowei aware of the existence of the Tangmen secret guard, and thirdly, out of selfishness, he wanted to settle with the past and tell himself not to indulge in Gu Mengyao's painful memories anymore.

These three reasons, no matter which one of them, can't be declared to Qu Xiaoxiang, so Lin Ruo didn't answer Qu Xiaoxiang's question directly, but asked rhetorically: "What's the matter, he bumped into you?" ”

Qu Xiaoxiang was slightly stunned, and found that Lin Ruo noticed his abnormality, so he simply said frankly: "He seems to recognize me as you." However, he soon realized that he had made a mistake. ”

Lin Ruo and Qu Xiaoxiang's appearance is indeed somewhat similar, although people who are familiar with each other can easily identify that it is Princess Rong Lin Ruo who always has a gentle and virtuous smile, and Qu Xiaoxiang, the county lord of Fengyang, who is more heroic, but I have to say that if she is someone who has never seen the county lord of Fengyang, it is still easy to recognize her as Lin Ruo.

After all, Lin Ruo had lived in Bian'an City for sixteen years, while Qu Xiaoxiang, so far, had only been in the capital for a few months. Obviously, everyone should be more familiar with the former.

What's more, when he first met Song Huan Chu who came to greet him, Qu Xiaoxiang wanted to pretend to be Lin Ruo for a moment, create some trouble for the other party, and then blame Lin Ruo. But before this idea could be put into action, the other party keenly realized that he recognized the wrong person and left.

If Song Huan Chu is dissatisfied with Lin Ruo because of Gu Manni or because of Shu Jin's matter, even if he finds out that the other party is not the real Lin Ruo, he will take this opportunity to provoke.

However, Song Huan Chu did not.

Moreover, Qu Xiaoxiang keenly captured the smile of joy in Song Huan Chu's eyes when he first saw her and thought she was Lin Ruo, that kind of smile was completely different from the gentle and detached smile that he later found out that he was not Lin Ruohou.

The smile on the corner of Qu Xiaoxiang's mouth is intriguing.

She felt that she should have discovered the delicate relationship between Lin Ruo and Song Huan Chu.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ruo's face was the same, and he still smiled calmly and calmly: "What do you want to say?" ”

Qu Xiaoxiang shrugged his shoulders with a smile and said lightly: "I'm just a little curious." ”

Having said that, the smile in Qu Xiaoxiang's eyes was meaningful.

"He once secretly came to Donglu and accidentally drowned. I saved him, but he thought it was Gu Manni who saved him. ”

Qu Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to come back to her that Lin Ruo was explaining to her. And just when she hadn't finished digesting this sentence, Lin Ruo added: "The prince also knows about it." ”

So, is this a warning to her that she doesn't have to use this as a threat?

Qu Xiaoxiang hesitated and asked, "So, Song ...... He already knows that you saved him? ”

Lin Ruo nodded: "Yes." ”

"You...... Did you deliberately make him think that Miss Gu saved him? ”

"Yes."

"To deal with the Gu family?"

"Yes."

Qu Xiaoxiang didn't expect that Lin Ruo would admit it frankly. Looking at Lin Ruo, who was smiling and crooked, there was an inexplicable trace of fear in his heart, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The smile on Lin Ruo's face suddenly deepened: "What, you're starting to be afraid of me?" Is it because I'm worried that I know too much, so I'll choose to kill it? ”

Qu Xiaoxiang stared at Lin Ruo for a long time, and forced a calm smile: "You won't." ”

Lin Ruo smiled and nodded, his clear eyes were full of sincerity: "Yes, I won't, I won't hurt you." So, don't worry, Fifth Sister. ”

Qu Xiaoxiang hadn't completely come back to her senses, and vaguely heard the words "Fifth Sister", and was stunned again, I don't know if it was because of her auditory hallucinations that she heard "Fifth Miss" as "Fifth Sister".

After hesitating for a while, he asked, "You, what do you call me?" ”

Lin Ruo's face was still the usual faint smile, and he did not answer Qu Xiaoxiang's words, but covered his mouth with his hand, leaned into Qu Xiaoxiang's ear, and whispered a kind advice: "That Prince Zhan doesn't seem to be so smart, but it's not so easy to deal with, especially those masters who secretly protect him. You'd better stay away from him, or you'll probably end up like your brother. ”

The end is the same as that of my brother?

A white light flashed in Qu Xiaoxiang's mind, and as soon as he grabbed Lin Ruo's wrist, his eyes were fierce: "What do you mean?" You make it clear! ”

Lin Ruo frowned slightly, and patted her hand: "Lighter, I'm not like Xiaoxiang, you, who have studied martial arts, been on the battlefield, and have iron bones." I'm going to get hurt easily! ”

The strength in Qu Xiaoxiang's hand loosened a little, but he didn't let go of his hand, still holding Lin Ruo's wrist tightly, his eyes were blazing, as if he wanted to let her reveal the truth through such a forced gaze.

Lin Ruo showed a little helplessness on his face, and said: "Xiaoxiang, today is my birthday banquet, I still have to greet everyone, you ...... like this."

However, Qu Xiaoxiang still didn't mean to let go, Lin Ruo sighed and said, "After you find out the whereabouts of 'that person', come and teach me to ride a horse, we can have a good chat." ”

"Horseback riding?"

"Yes. I promised the prince that I would learn to ride a horse, but at the moment, there is no suitable person to teach me except you. I wonder if Master Xiaoxiang is willing to accept me, a stupid apprentice? ”

Qu Xiaoxiang stared at Lin Ruo for a long time, the racecourse was indeed more suitable for talking about these things than the current Rongwang Mansion, and she also understood that Lin Ruo was showing weakness to her. He nodded, accepted her offer, and loosened his shackles.

Lin Ruo looked at the fingerprints on his wrist and sighed aggrievedly: "Governor of Fengyang, you are too ruthless, you don't pity the fragrance and jade at all!" Look, it's all swollen! ”
