Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

Huang Xiaoya signaled to the maid next to her with her eyes, and the maid immediately took out a small silver ingot from her arms and put it into Shaoyao's hand.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Shaoyao looked up in surprise. Did the prince want to bribe her with silver? But this silver ingot was not as good as the gold that the young lady gave her. Shaoyao really looked down on this little thing.

"Miss Shaoyao, take it. This is a small token of my appreciation. I will have to count on you to take care of me in the future."

Huang Xiaoya still had a smile on her face and was very humble.

"Thank you for your kindness, Prince."

Shaoyao did not refuse and directly stuffed the silver into her sleeves, with the spirit of not taking it if it is not worth it, intending to make full use of it.

"Then Miss Shaoyao, we will take our leave first."

When Huang Xiaoya saw Shaoyao accept the money, her smile grew even wider. After she finished speaking, she stepped out of the door and walked straight away.

"Your Majesty, walk slowly."

Shaoyao bent her body slightly and watched Huang Xiaoya leave. Only when Huang Xiaoya's figure disappeared did Shaoyao think of turning around and leaving. As a result, she bumped into a strong chest when she turned around.

"Ouch, who is that?" Shaoyao covered her forehead and looked up, and found it was Yanhuo. Then she looked at him puzzledly: "Master Yanhuo, what are you doing standing behind me?"

"What are you looking at?"

Yanhuo had a square face, looking somewhat expressionless.

Hearing Yanhuo say this, Shaoyao immediately lowered her head shyly, not daring to look him in the eye.

"What are you looking at? I didn't look at anything."

"What did that woman ask you just now?"

Yanhuo, who had been hiding in the dark, noticed that Shaoyao's expression just now was very unnatural, as if she was being coerced, so he expressed his concern.

"I didn't ask anything, just some questions about the young lady and the uncle, and asked about their relationship."

Shaoyao answered truthfully. She had always felt sorry for drugging Yanhuo and making him unconscious. Plus, Yanhuo had saved her before, so Shaoyao was much more polite to Yanhuo than before and basically answered every question he asked.

"Asking about their relationship? Why is she asking this?" Yanhuo was a little confused. He thought that the woman would ask about the princess' illness.

"I don't know. Judging from her expression, she must be attracted to my uncle..."

After Shaoyao finished speaking, her almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise and she looked at the fireworks in surprise.

How ridiculous! This woman has such a bold idea.

Damn, my brother-in-law's ice cubes can attract so many crazy women.

Yanhuo was also a little surprised when he heard this. He recalled the scene where this woman stopped his master when she met him for the first time, and he felt that this was not impossible.

He quickly glanced around, and when he saw that no one was around, he hushed to Shaoyao, "Shh, don't tell anyone about this..."

"I know, but I have to tell the young lady so that she can be on guard."

As Shaoyao said this, she was about to walk past the fireworks, anxiously wanting to tell her young lady about this explosive discovery.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you..." Yanhuo grabbed Shaoyao's arm.

Shaoyao saw that Yanhuo wanted to say something, so she stopped and looked at him: "Master Yanhuo, what's the matter?"

“It’s…it’s…” Yanhuo hesitated for a long time but still couldn’t utter a word.

"What is it?" Shaoyao just stared at him blankly, waiting for him to continue.

"That's... that... I... I forgot..."

Yan Huo finally turned his head away guiltily, not daring to speak out his true thoughts.

"What did you forget?" Shaoyao didn't understand what Yanhuo meant.

"I just forgot what I wanted to say. I'll tell you when I remember it. Miss Shaoyao, I'll take you back first..."

Yanhuo turned around and walked straight forward as he spoke. In fact, he wanted to ask Shaoyao if she was free tonight because he wanted to ask her out.

As a result, when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them and I gave up immediately.

Shaoyao looked at Yanhuo's tall and straight figure in confusion, her heart full of doubts, and finally followed him with small steps.

As soon as she returned to the bedroom, Shaoyao told Chu Xi everything that had just happened, including the fact that Huang Xiaoya wanted to bribe her.

"Miss, this woman is too scheming."

Chu Xi was eating while Shaoyao stood beside her and spoke indignantly.

"The poison has already been administered, this is nothing."

Chu Xi picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup, speaking nonchalantly.

"Miss, she must have set her eyes on my son-in-law. Aren't you anxious?" Shaoyao exclaimed in shock, feeling extremely anxious.

"Why rush? What's yours will always be yours. Besides, the prince is not a fool. He won't like a woman like this."

Besides, the competition between them has already begun, and whether her Aunt Xiaoya can survive in the end is another matter.

"But Miss...what if she uses her beauty to seduce me?"

Shaoyao didn’t think as far ahead as Chu Xi did, she was just worried about Chu Xi.

"puff……"

As soon as Shaoyao finished speaking, Chuxi spat out a mouthful of soup. Shaoyao was startled by her action and quickly reached out to help Chuxi smooth his back.

"Miss, are you okay? Did you choke?"

"Ahem... I'm fine..."

Chu Xi shook his head and put down the bowl in his hand, then picked up the handkerchief beside him and wiped his mouth.

"Miss, why did you react so strongly just now? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, I just think what you said makes sense."

Chu Xi looked at Shaoyao who looked serious and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Really? I think that's possible, too. Miss, you have to be on guard and don't let her get close to your uncle."

"Okay, I know. I'll tell the prince about this when he comes back."

Chu Xi nodded seriously and continued to eat with his chopsticks.

At this time, another young palace maid came in and reported that Yi Yue Liuyun wanted to see her.

"Take him to the study and wait."

After Chu Xi finished speaking, he immediately put down his chopsticks, stood up, changed his clothes and walked towards the study.

"Your Highness the Grandson is greeted by your humble servant." Yi Yue Liuyun bowed to Chu Xi.

"Brother Liuyun, there's no need to be so polite."

Chu Xi walked to the table and sat down. He looked up at Yi Yue Liu Yun and said softly, "Brother Liu Yun, why are you here at this time? What happened?"

"Your Highness, I have discovered that a large army is quietly moving towards the Imperial City."

"Are you sure?" Chu Xi's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard that, and his face became more serious.

"It's absolutely true. The leader seems to be General Ye." Yi Yue Liuyun's expression also became solemn.

"The one who holds half of the military power, Ye Qian, General Ye?"

"Yes, she also went in and out of Prince Jing's mansion a few days ago."

When Yi Yue Liuyun said this, Chu Xi's eyebrows knitted together, and she felt that something was wrong. She didn't expect that Prince Jing was so vigilant and actually made two preparations.

On the one hand, he asked his good daughter to find out the truth, and on the other hand, he planned to send troops to besiege the city. If the first plan fails, he has another plan?

Hard to guard against?

"How many troops do they have gathered?"

"About 20,000 of them. They must have been hiding there long ago. Otherwise, it would take at least a month to transfer troops from the border."
