Jiang Hao was invited by Zhuifeng to Xu Xing's study.

When they met again, the scene of that day was still vivid in their minds, and both of them felt a little uncomfortable.

However, Xu Xing took the first step than Jiang Hao and was therefore thicker-skinned.

He cleared his throat, smiled and asked Jiang Hao to sit down, then quickly told Zhuifeng to serve tea, and also asked for fresh fruits and snacks.

Jiang Hao looked at the fruits in the fruit bowl. There were apples, cut sugarcane, dates, pears and oranges. It was a wide variety and very rare in this era.

"Try it."

Xu Xing took the initiative to speak again.

Jiang Hao was in no hurry to eat the fruit or drink the tea, but just asked, "Why did the prince want to see me today?"

"I will leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning."

Xu Xing did not hide his whereabouts from Jiang Hao and told her the truth: "Before I leave, I want to have a meal with you. Goodbye, it will be spring again next year."

It was obviously a very simple answer, but Jiang Hao's face suddenly turned red when he heard it. He felt his cheeks getting hot for a moment and turned his eyes away a little uncomfortably.

Seeing that she was a little shy, Xu Xing also felt a little uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and continued, "However, Zhuifeng met someone from the Ji Mansion, and they said they wanted to take you back to Beijing."

Speaking of the people in Ji's mansion, Jiang Hao immediately became serious and replied, "Indeed, someone claimed to be the steward of Ji Taifu's mansion. He arranged an identity for me and said he would take me back to Beijing."

"You don't believe them."

"Of course."

Jiang Hao blurted out, with a sense of alienation all over his body: "God knows what they are planning. They didn't show up until Jiang Huaiqing fell. Once Jiang Huaiqing fell, they came to recognize their relatives."

How many people would believe this kind of coincidence?

Xu Xing didn't know whether Jiang Hao knew about the relationship between her and the deposed prince. What if she didn't know, and he revealed the truth, would it lead to worse consequences?

"But no matter what their purpose is, as long as I ignore them, their tail will always show up."

This is also the reason why Jiang Hao locked Ji Zhong and others out.

As long as the other party has any shameful purpose, it will be exposed after a long time.

When the time comes, don't blame her for being cruel and ruthless.

"Do you know the deposed prince?"

After thinking it over again and again, Xu Xing finally asked.

Hearing this, Jiang Hao looked at Xu Xing with both eyes, and looked at him deeply for a long time. Instead of answering, he asked: "Do you know something?"

Xu Xing found that her words were very tentative, but they also revealed that she was not completely ignorant of the deposed crown prince.

"Jiang Huaiqing told me something..."

Jiang Hao stood up suddenly, clenching his hands into fists under his sleeves.

No one expected that Jiang Huaiqing would actually go all out.

You know, although what he did was not enough to kill all nine clans, it was very likely that three clans would be exterminated.

Not only did he not think of letting Jiang Hao go, he even wanted to drag the entire Jiang family to be buried with him.

Seeing her so alert, Xu Xing quickly explained: "I haven't told anyone about this, and Jiang Huaiqing won't reveal anything to anyone, so don't panic."

On the way back to Beijing, he had Zhang Zhongjing secretly cripple the hands of Jiang Huaiqing and the Song couple so that they could not hold a pen or write.

Jiang Hao sat back in his chair, loosened his clenched fists, and said, "I'm not panicking, but... I didn't expect that you already knew it."

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Xu Xing sighed and said, “I…always thought you didn’t know.”
