Xuanyuan Yuchuan said that Hu Luanfei didn't need to see him off, but in fact all his actions betrayed him.
On the way to Beiqiu, he rarely asked about her background. Slightly different from before, Xuanyuan Yuchuan seemed like a different person and slowly treated her better.
He drew aside the small curtain of the carriage and looked out, taking in the desolate and desolate scene of Tiger Mountain.
In the past few years, he had walked through Tiger Mountain several times during his incognito visits. There were always different wild beasts around him. He was not sure if anyone had really been injured by the wild beasts, but...
He glanced at the person sitting next to him and felt worried.
She often walked this route alone, and the more often she did so, the more likely she was to run into danger.
Hu Luanfei had a strong sense of perception, and his burning gaze on her immediately made her feel uneasy.
He always secretly glanced at her, and she never interfered with his actions, but that didn't mean she could really remain indifferent.
He said that Tiger Mountain was too desolate, and she admitted that she had been trying to change it. But changing a barren place is not just talk, and the funds and energy required are far beyond the imagination of normal people.
Thinking about it, before Xuanyuan Yuchuan could speak, he spoke first: "The prince doesn't seem to care much about Bei Qiu's affairs."
After thinking about it, he added, "I don't mean anything else."
Before Hu Luanfei could respond, Xuanyuan Yuchuan spoke up, his voice as cold as ice, "I am controlled by others and have no freedom at all. How can I care about the big and small things of this country?"
His words reminded Hu Luanfei, "Why don't you come to our Menghu Mountain to live in seclusion? Look at the green mountains and clear waters..."
"A place where no one lives."
This sentence determines what Hu Luanfei will say next.
Besides, Menghu Mountain is indeed not as good as any other mountain in Beiqiu, but you can't make fun of it in front of its owner.
Before arriving at Beiqiu, Hu Luanfei felt Xuanyuan Yuchuan's unusual gaze. He adjusted his state, sat upright, and made up his mind not to provoke him again.
But today I couldn't calm down. My thoughts kept wandering and I was thinking about all sorts of irrelevant things. Time sped up without me noticing.
We arrived in Beiqiu in peace and quiet.
Based on Hu Luanfei's suggestion, Zuihualou organized an event to give back to new and old customers. In just one and a half days, there was an endless stream of customers. Some of them lined up outside early despite the severe cold.
There was a serious shortage of manpower. They had to replenish out-of-stock goods, serve plates and water. There were only Jiang Wu and Yun Xuxu in the kitchen. They were extremely busy. The passengers outside were talking about interesting things that happened in recent days while they were washing their hot pot.
Suddenly, there was a slight commotion up ahead, and a guest exclaimed in a low voice, "The Crown Prince is here."
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to silence the noisy lobby. Everyone looked towards the door and saw a man and a woman standing in front and behind.
Hu Luanfei stood in front of Xuanyuan Yuchuan and immediately looked in the direction of the voice. It was Princess Nanqi and the women from various countries who had attended the Queen's birthday party.
They disguise themselves as men and mingle in the market.
Seeing Xuanyuan Yuchuan, Princess Nanqi and her maid stood up to greet him and said anxiously, "Why is your highness here? It's cold here. Come in with me."
At this time, all the guests in the lobby knew Xuanyuan Yuchuan's identity and had already knelt down collectively.
Hu Luanfei glanced at Princess Nanqi and said loudly to everyone, "Everyone, stand up. I am the owner of Zuihualou. This is my brother, not the Crown Prince."
The regular customers who often come to Zuihualou have naturally seen Hu Luanfei. In addition, her face is a bit similar to Xuanyuan Yuchuan, so they don't suspect too much. They just wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads and sigh: "The prince is so noble, he should go to the Royal Restaurant. I was wondering, it turns out to be Boss Hu's brother."
Hu Luanfei smiled and said, "Master, please eat and drink well. Perhaps this noble man saw that my brother and the current crown prince made a mistake."
Princess Nanqi glanced at Hu Luanfei and didn't want to say more. She had long forgotten how Hu Luanfei had maintained her dignity on the night she was rescued.
Hu Luanfei was too lazy to argue with her, so he stepped into Zuihualou first and waited for Xuanyuan Yuchuan to follow him in.
Perhaps because of his deep love, Xuanyuan Yuchuan stared at Princess Nanqi for a long time. I don't know what he felt in his heart, but when he saw Princess Nanqi staring at the room with an unfriendly look, his whole aura changed.
"Princess Zhan, come here and introduce the characteristics of Zuihualou to me."
Princess Nanqi wanted to follow her into the box, but Hu Luanfei moved sideways to the door and said softly, "Princess's seat is downstairs, please move down."
Princess Nanqi's eyes were as bright as waves, and she smiled at Hu Luanfei, "Saying that you are brother and sister may only deceive outsiders. Princess Zhan is a married woman, and you are alone in a room with the crown prince. How can we, the women who know the inside story, let others misunderstand you?"
She paused, "Moreover, the person who had sex with the Crown Prince that night was this princess."
"You still remember." Hu Luanfei looked at her calmly and said, "I thought you were poisoned by your own hallucinogens and couldn't tell who was with whom."
Princess Nanqi sneered: "I'm afraid Princess Zhan can't distinguish between her own identity and mine."
Hu Luanfei smiled but said nothing.
Princess Nanqi nodded slightly, pushed Hu Luanfei where no one else could see, turned sideways and rushed into the box, bowed again, and greeted Xuanyuan Yuchuan. Her words and actions were like peach blossoms in March, with their branches lowered and full of charm.
Hu Luanfei rolled his eyes at the waiter before taking the menu from her. He couldn't help but sigh, how could the princess of Nanqi Kingdom be so green tea? She was so green with people and things that even the people around her smelled like green tea.
Men probably like this.
Hu Luanfei turned to Xuanyuan Yuchuan and handed him the menu. The pictures on the menu were all printed, and they looked fresh, colorful, fragrant and delicious. Every time he turned a page, the person who saw it couldn't help but order a few more dishes.
Princess Nanqi was being courteous to Hu Luanfei, who had no chance to join in the conversation. He felt that the smell of green tea in the box was too strong, so he walked to the window and opened it without permission.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, lifting the soft gauze curtains in the box.
"Prince, be careful!"
Hu Luanfei turned around, and a sharp arrow shot in from the window, heading straight for Xuanyuan Yuchuan's head.
The speed was fast and fierce. At the critical moment, Princess Nanqi pushed Xuanyuan Yuchuan away, and the fast and cold arrow pierced Princess Nanqi's shoulder.
"There's an assassin!" The guards lurking beside Xuanyuan Yuchuan immediately cordoned off the scene. The originally bustling Zuihualou was now in panic.
Hu Luanfei was immediately controlled.
Xuanyuan Yuchuan held the unconscious Princess Nanqi in his arms and looked at her coldly, "Princess Zhan, what do you mean by this?"
Hu Luanfei raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Hey, you don't think I hired an assassin, do you?"
Xuanyuan Yuchuan said nothing, picked up Princess Nanqi, and walked towards the soft couch not far away. As he walked, he ordered the accompanying guards, "Go find Xuanyuan Yuqing immediately, don't let Princess Nanqi really die."
After saying that, he turned to look at Hu Luanfei, "I don't suspect you want to harm me."
