Chapter 58 The Love of the Prince
Xiao Lingxiao looked at the sixth prince Li Jingxuan coldly, and her heart was full of disappointment. After a few previous contacts, Xiao Lingxiao thought that this Li Jingxuan was a good man, but she didn't expect to find out now that he was so selfish.
After Su Donghan died, Xiao Lingxiao immediately asked Xiao Fengming to secretly send a letter to Li Jingxuan, hoping that he could get rid of the predicament at that time. But looking at his happy appearance now, hasn't he thought about how much Xiao Lingxiao has suffered in this matter?
Not to mention the gossip about Xiao Lingxiao outside, if a woman from an ordinary family is a family affair and her fiancΓ© is dead, this woman will also have to be widowed. Even if a big family like the Xiao family doesn't need to do this, from now on, I'm afraid that there will never be a right family to propose to Xiao Lingxiao. If he was another woman, he was afraid that he was looking for death and life at this time, but looking at Li Jingxuan's appearance, not only did he not worry about Xiao Lingxiao at all, but he happily came to report the good news?
"Congratulations to the Sixth Highness for being safe and sound, after this catastrophe, the Sixth Highness must be one step closer to that position." Xiao Lingxiao's tone was cold when she said this, and she didn't mean to be happy at all.
Li Jingxuan was a little overwhelmed by Xiao Lingxiao's attitude at first, but in a blink of an eye, he thought of why she treated him like this. Li Jingxuan secretly complained to himself, glanced at Xiao Fengming, who was sitting on the side with an expressionless face, embarrassed, and said for a long time, "Miss Lingxiao, I just want to tell you the result of this matter." You didn't marry the flower thief Su Donghan, you should have escaped......"
The atmosphere in the room was extremely embarrassing, Li Jingxuan had something to say in his heart, but in front of Xiao Fengming, he couldn't say anything. After a while, he stood up and asked Xiao Lingxiao in a low voice, "Can we go out for a walk?" β
Xiao Fengming's face sank when he heard this, and he was about to speak, but Xiao Lingxiao held down his arm. Xiao Lingxiao motioned for him not to move, and she got up and walked out with Li Jingxuan. Xiao Fengming looked at the backs of the two people, stroked the place on his sleeve that was held down by Xiao Lingxiao just now, and snorted.
Xiao Lingxiao followed Li Jingxuan out of the door of the main hall and slowly walked towards the outside of the Qinghe Courtyard.
Li Jingxuan hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "Miss Lingxiao, we found Su Donghan's body because we received a secret report, and who the person who made the secret report has not yet been found. Did you know something? β
Xiao Lingxiao shook her head, "Even the Sixth Highness and the Criminal Division Jing Zhaoyin can't find out about it, how can I, a female streamer, know about it." β
"I heard that Su Donghan was in the Prime Minister's Mansion after the conflict with the eldest prince and the third prince that day, and he died in a suburban village that night, do you really know anything?"
Xiao Lingxiao stopped when she heard this, glanced at Li Jingxuan dissatisfiedly, and said coldly, "If His Royal Highness the Sixth wants to handle the case, it is better to take me back to the court of the Criminal Department." β
"No, no, no." Li Jingxuan hurriedly shook his head, he also stopped, looked at Xiao Lingxiao, what he said in his heart, he didn't know how to say it to Xiao Lingxiao, he only realized at this time that every time he faced this woman, he always seemed to be a little nervous that he shouldn't have.
"Actually...... When I found Su Donghan's body, I was really happy. It's not for myself, but because as soon as he dies, you don't have to marry him......" Li Jingxuan frowned and said in a low voice, "At the palace banquet that day, my father proposed you to marry, I really wanted to rush up immediately and beg my father to take back his life." But you know, at that time, I was in danger of being in danger, and I had no power to protect you...... Ling Xiao, I'm sorry ......"
Xiao Lingxiao could see that Li Jingxuan's words were sincere, and from his standpoint, what he did was understandable. It's just that Xiao Lingxiao is not a person who is used to accommodating others, and she doesn't have the energy to take care of other people's feelings and understand other people's hearts.
"Sixth Highness, I, Xiao Lingxiao, am not expecting anyone to protect me." Xiao Lingxiao thought for a while and said softly, "I really expected Su Donghan's death, otherwise I would definitely resist to the death when the emperor gave me the marriage." Since the day I crawled out of the coffin, I, Xiao Lingxiao, have already made up my mind to save myself and control my own destiny. Those who are sorry for me will be punished accordingly sooner or later, and you, Your Highness Six, have nothing to be sorry for me. β
Xiao Lingxiao's words pierced Li Jingxuan's heart like a soft thorn, he looked at this thin woman, and couldn't imagine why she could say such a ruthless word. Who in this world can live alone? Even he, the noble prince, has to struggle among the crowds? Save yourself? Take your own destiny into your own hands? Is that possible? Isn't it only the desperate who say such things? Xiao Lingxiao...... Was she so lonely, so desperate?
"Ling Xiao, I'll help you." Li Jingxuan grabbed Xiao Lingxiao's hand and said with some eagerness, "If it weren't for you this time, I might not have been able to hold on to it at all." You helped me, so no matter what happened in the future, I will do my best to help you. Don't worry about your fate, you wait for me, as long as I have the opportunity and grasp, I ...... I'll ...... right away."
"Sixth Highness, please let go."
Before Li Jingxuan's words were finished, Xiao Lingxiao retracted his hand. Li Jingxuan's heart was empty, but he looked up and found Xiao Lingxiao looking into the distance. He followed Xiao Lingxiao's gaze and found that in the corridor in the distance, a group of women were staring straight at them. I'm afraid that the two of them just pulled from the action were all seen by those women.
Li Jingxuan was secretly shocked in his heart, carefully distinguished, and found that he knew all the women standing there, a pair of twins were Xiao Lingxiao's two younger sisters, Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue, and the other two were sisters in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was a woman dressed more gorgeously, it was Qi Huile, the second daughter of the Qi family.
Several women saw that Li Jingxuan had found them, and walked from the corridor to this side.
Li Jingxuan actually didn't want to talk to them, but if his and Xiao Lingxiao's actions just now were spread by these women, I was afraid that it would damage the reputation of the two. He could only wait for them to come.
Xiao Lingxiao turned her head and saw Li Jingxuan frowning, and said softly, "The Sixth Highness doesn't have to worry too much, they will only make trouble for me, and they won't go down to the Sixth Highness." β
Xiao Lingxiao's words made Li Jingxuan's heart even more uncomfortable, he didn't expect to finally see Xiao Lingxiao, but he got into this situation, what a miscalculation.
Not long after, the group of women arrived in front of the two, they all bowed to Li Jingxuan obediently, and then heard Qi Huile speak first, "Why don't you know our sisters when the Sixth Highness comes down, the Prime Minister's Mansion has invited the famous musician Mr. Lu, why don't the Sixth Highnesses go with us to listen to a song, how about it?" β
Where is Li Jingxuan in the mood to listen to the tune, he smiled and shook his head, "I still have business to do, so I'm going to leave." β
After saying this, Li Jingxuan bowed his hand to the few of them, then turned his head and whispered to Xiao Lingxiao, "I'll send you back." β
Xiao Lingxiao shook his head and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Sixth has official business, let's go and do something quickly." In this Prime Minister's Mansion, I will be fine. β
Li Jingxuan sighed lightly when he heard this, and then turned around and left quickly.
After Li Jingxuan left, Xiao Lingxiao looked at the women opposite and found that they all seemed to have changed their faces and changed their expressions. Among them, the most exciting is that Qi Huile.
Qi Huile took a step forward, looked Xiao Lingxiao up and down, sneered, and said, "I have long heard that Miss Xiao has a peach blossom on her face and a good ability to charm men, first confused the four princes, and almost became the little princess of the Mudd Palace, but it's a pity that your life is too hard, and the two family affairs have not been successful, what?" It's not enough to kill one, this time he changed direction again, and he wanted to hook up with the six princes? Oh, do you think the royal family can still want you as an ominous daughter? Stop dreaming! I look at you, don't say that you can't do it as a concubine, you can't even do it as a side concubine! Do you think you're sorry because you're the eldest lady? Bah! Broom star! β
In this courtyard, except for the Xiao family sisters, the rest are the personal maids around them, so Qi Huile tore off her hypocritical face and spoke unscrupulously to Xiao Lingxiao.
Xiao Lingxiao listened to her quietly, and sneered, "It seems that I guess that eight or nine are not far from ten, and the tutor of the Qi family can only raise your virtuous daughter." β
"Xiao Lingxiao! What did you say! Xiao Huanyu, who was standing behind, stepped forward when he heard this, pointed at Xiao Lingxiao's nose and said angrily, "Wouldn't you think that your mother is also the daughter of the Qi family?" What do you mean by that! β
Xiao Lingxiao glanced at Xiao Huanyu, "I used to think that your kid's liver fire was too strong and his IQ was slightly low, it seems that I really think highly of you." There are those who pick up money at home, but how can there be those who pick up and scold at home? Are you stupid? β
Xiao Huanyu was angered by Xiao Lingxiao's words, she couldn't get used to Xiao Lingxiao's current appearance, she originally thought that she would be out of sight and out of mind after she got married, who would have thought that this little slut would stay by mistake again. If you don't get rid of her for a day, the Xiao family won't be stable for a day. Coupled with the intimacy between Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Lingxiao just now, her heart was about to rise.
This little slut, broom star, why did she want to hook up with the six princes again! Why did she hook up with the Six Princes!
Xiao Huanyu's body trembled, and he was about to step forward to say a few ugly words, but he was suddenly held tightly by a hand. She turned her head to look and saw Xiao Huanxue, who had a frosty face, shook her head at her, Xiao Huanyu gritted her teeth, then glared at Xiao Lingxiao, flicked her sleeves and left quickly.
As soon as she left, Qi Huile snorted, glared at Xiao Lingxiao with a smug face, and left. The rest of the people didn't bother Xiao Lingxiao anymore, they all walked away quickly, and when they walked up to the corridor, Xiao Huanxue stopped and looked back, and saw that Xiao Lingxiao had long since disappeared, so she whispered, "Why bother with her for a while." β
"That's right, instead of scolding her and listening to her talk back, it's better to just shut her up and never speak again!" After Qi Huile said this, he laughed gloomily.
