All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

He said something to Xia Chan and prepared to go outside the city to take a look.

Xia Chan became interested and wanted to go and take a look too.

The couple closed the shop, hung a sign on the door saying they had an emergency at home and would be taking a day off, went back to the house, changed their clothes, and left through the back door.

They also got on a carriage and headed out of the city.

In June, the mountains are green and the grass is green, and everywhere is full of vitality.

The sun was right overhead, not even a bit shaken.

The people sitting in the carriage were drowsy.

Xia Chan dozed off on Xie Lin's shoulder, holding an ice cream that she had just taken out of the space. Before she had taken a few bites, it was already so hot that it was about to melt.

Worried that the ice cream would fall on her, Xie Lin took it and fed it to her.

Xia Chan squinted her eyes, enjoying Xie Lin's service, and finished the ice cream that was about to melt.

They were finally ready.

This place is some distance away from Chang'an. Between the green mountains and green waters, under the shade of trees, there is a farmhouse, nestled against the mountains and beside the water.

There were some people working in the village, and everything was in good order.

Xia Chan and the others found a secluded place, stopped the carriage, and Xie Lin used his Qinggong skills to bring her closer to the farm.

They didn't rush in.

Instead, wait outside and observe the situation first.

The telescope in Xia Chan's hand could see the situation inside the village. After searching for a while, she found Xia Yongyan.

He nudged Xie Lin beside him with his elbow and handed him the telescope.

"Come and see."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard.

Xia Chan and Xie Lin were both stunned at the same time, and the next second they turned around and looked in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from.

I saw a group of fully armed men rushing over from a distance.

The person in the lead was someone neither of them had expected.

Yuan Che!

The Queen's own son.

Why would he bring people here?

Xia Chan and Xie Lin both had a lot of question marks in their heads.

I don’t know what’s going on.

Xia Chan asked Xie Lin in a low voice: "Could it be that Xia Yongyan is meeting Yuan Che?"

After she finished speaking, she felt that it was unlikely.

If Xia Yongyan was really going to meet Yuan Che, then Yuan Che would not have come so blatantly.

He should also set out with light luggage like Xia Yongyan.

Now that Yuan Che came out so brazenly, accompanied by fully armed guards, it seemed more like he was here to arrest someone.

Could it be that he also knew that his biological mother was having an affair with his uncle?

Xia Chan thought about it and felt that it was unlikely.

If he really knew, he wouldn't have brought so many people here.

He should come quietly, grab Xia Yongyan and beat him up in anger, but he would never let this secret be exposed to everyone.

She guessed for a long time but couldn't guess the purpose of Yuan Che's visit.

But they must not be discovered by Yuan Che and the others.

The summer cicadas hold their breath.

Xie Lin also protected her with one hand, and they both lay on the tree branch together.

With the dense leaves blocking their view, as long as they didn't make any noise, they wouldn't have to worry too much about being discovered.

Yuan Che, who was riding on a horse, naturally did not expect that someone else was watching him.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the unremarkable manor in front of him. Thinking of the secret letter he had received, he raised his hand and asked someone to rush in.

"Go in and search!"

"Search every room and every place carefully. Don't miss any suspicious corners or people."

"Yes."

The prince's guards are all very skilled and in very good spirits.

After saying yes, he rushed in.

When the people guarding Zhuangzi saw people rushing in, they naturally stepped forward to stop them and wanted to ask them what they were doing.

Yuan Che rode on his horse and glanced at the person approaching.

The captain of his personal guards took out the badge of the Crown Prince's personal guards and waved it in front of the people who were blocking them.

He raised his foot and kicked the man away.

"Open your eyes wide, how dare you stop His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

When these words were spoken, everyone who came forward was shocked.

His Royal Highness.

This is the current Crown Prince.

They did not dare to offend him, so they all knelt down and bowed their heads very low to salute the prince.

Yuan Che glanced coldly at the people kneeling on the ground and rode forward on his horse.

He had no intention of stopping.

The tall and powerful horses were running rampant in the elegantly decorated manor.

"Search for me!"

The captain of the guard ordered the guards to search the manor.

Lin Rong was having a tryst with Xia Yongyan in the room, but after a few words she heard the commotion outside and her expression changed slightly.

When she heard Yuan Che's voice, her face turned as pale as paper.

She grabbed Xia Yongyan's hand.

"My Lord, what's going on? Why is the prince here?"

Xia Yongyan didn't know either.

But he is a very cunning man after all.

He was not thrown into disarray by Yuan Che's sudden appearance.

He pulled out his hand and gently stroked Lin Rong's cheek, comforting her softly: "Rong'er, don't be nervous. Go hide, I'll go deal with the prince."

"Okay...ok..."

It would be a lie if Lin Rong said she wasn't nervous.

She has always maintained an improper relationship with Xia Yongyan, and her actual purpose is to use Xia Yongyan to work for them and their son.

For her, her image in the prince's heart is definitely more important than Xia Yongyan's.

So at this moment she left in a panic.

In her haste, a small hair accessory on her head fell to the ground without her noticing.

Under normal circumstances, Xia Yongyan might have noticed it.

But at this moment, Yuan Che was already outside the door and was about to come in. He took a quick glance at the room, straightened his clothes and went out.

Nor did he notice the hair accessory in the corner.

Yuan Che searched all the other rooms, except the one in front of him.

Thinking of the words in the secret letter, he reined in his horse and rushed in.

Xia Yongyan just opened the door.

The horse's hooves had already reached him.

Lord Xiahou, who had always been weak and indifferent to worldly affairs, avoided the horse's hoof that was about to step on him at this moment.

"His Royal Highness."

Xia Yongyan barely dodged to the side, and when he raised his head, there was anger on his face.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Xia Yongyan's tone was not very good.

Yuan Che reined in his horse and turned around. He was about to say something, but his eyes fell on the small hair accessory in the corner that was shining in the sun.

His face darkened.

"Lord Xiahou."

He no longer called Xia Yongyan uncle.

"I have received a secret report that there are rebels plotting a rebellion here, so I am leading troops to arrest them."

"Oh, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has discovered the traitor?"

Xia Yongyan remained calm and looked directly at Yuan Che.

Yuan Che chuckled, and suddenly raised the knife in his hand and pointed it at Xia Yongyan.

"Xia Yongyan, where is the person you just met here hiding? Why don't you hand her over to me?"

"Your Highness, what did you say? I don't quite understand what you said."

"Don't understand? Xia Yongyan, do you really think that I won't dare chop off your head just because you are my uncle?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the knife in his hand towards Xia Yongyan.

It looked like they were going to chop off his head.
