After escaping with her bestie, she became the white moonlight of the crazy prince

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Shen Chu placed his hand on the back of Xie An Ning's hand and said earnestly, "An Ning, don't get involved. There are three grown men here. It's just digging two graves. Isn't that easy for them?"

"Right, Brother Jinnian?"

Fu Jinnian, who had just finished the last melon seed in his hand, felt like the sky had fallen when he heard this. However, face was more important than anything else. He put on a smile that seemed genuine but was actually hypocritical, and said, "Since it's a favor for Miss Shen, I will go through fire and water for you."

Shen Chu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Fu."

Xie Ming and Shang Heng arrived at the Yangxin Palace at the same time and waited outside the palace for a while before being summoned.

The two walked in side by side without saying a word. When they entered the hall, Xie Xuan was standing in front of the imperial desk, muttering something.

Xie Ming walked straight towards Xie Xuan, his gloomy gaze lingered on him for a moment, then quickly moved away.

When Xie Xuan was looked at by him, he felt a chill in his feet. His gaze was like frost in the cold night, which made people shudder.

He forced himself to suppress the trembling feeling and continued his previous speech as if nothing had happened. "Father, what do you think of my proposal? Captain Lu and Lieutenant Lu are heroes of our Qi State. They guarded our borders until their death without marrying or leaving behind any children."

"The daughters of Minister Shen and Minister Jiang tragically drowned, and I, your son, am deeply saddened. However, they were unmarried when they died. If your Majesty could posthumously confer the title of Princess on them, allowing them to become companions to the two heroes who died in battle for Qi, that would be a good thing."

Xie Ming didn't hide the sarcasm in his eyes at all. He took a step forward and lowered his head slightly. "Father, in my opinion, what my brother said is a little inappropriate."

Minister Shen and Minister Jiang, who were standing on the other side of Xie Xuan, were about to step forward when Xie Xuan finished speaking, but who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would actually get there first.

The two people who usually didn't get along looked at each other, then looked away at the same time.

"The fate of Captain Lu and Lieutenant Lu is uncertain. Neither the bodies nor their remains have been found, yet my royal brother has already made such a hasty conclusion. Do you really want these two heroes who sacrificed their lives for the State of Qi to return alive?"

A sinister and cold gaze stared at Xie Xuan. After hearing what Xie Ming said, how could Xie Xuan not understand the purpose of Xie Ming's entering the palace?

To stop him.

If that's the case, then it means the news he received is true.

The person who has been haunting Xie Ming for the past six months is not dead yet, and is probably hiding somewhere in the capital.

After realizing this, Xie Xuan immediately said, "Father, please believe me. I absolutely do not have such intentions!"

He pretended to kneel down, but it was just a feint. Xie Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and kicked out, making Xie Xuan kneel down successfully.

The crisp sound of knees hitting the ground reached everyone's ears. Xie Ming slowly finished his attack, "Royal brother, why did you kneel down just because of a disagreement? Are you feeling guilty?"

Looking at the two people, one standing and one kneeling in front of him, His Majesty raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He did not respond to what Xie Ming and Xie Xuan said, but suddenly asked about Shang Heng.

"Is Heng'er coming to the palace today also for this matter? If so, who do you think is more right, Ming'er or Xuan'er?"

Hearing this, Shang Heng, who had had a bad relationship with Xie Ming for the past six months, chose Xie Ming without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, I think the Crown Prince is more reasonable. The bodies of Captain Lu and Lieutenant Lu haven't been found yet, and you're just hastily arranging a posthumous marriage for them. What if they're still alive... how can that be considered decent?"

His Majesty knew about the grudge between Shang Heng and Xie Ming. The reason why they stood on the same side this time was probably for those two poor girls.

His Majesty pulled out a memorial and flipped through it. He didn't respond to Shang Heng's question, but continued to ask Minister Shen and Minister Jiang, "What do you two think?"

Is this going to start voting mode?

Minister Shen and Minister Jiang both stepped forward, placed their hands on their chests, and said respectfully, "I think General Shang's words make sense. Besides, what virtue do I have in marrying Captain Lu or Lieutenant Lu..."

In order to reject this absurd marriage, Minister Shen did not hesitate to belittle his daughter, just wishing that his daughter's soul could rest in peace.

But Ming, who was standing beside him to thank him, was unhappy when he heard this.

What do you mean Shen Chu is not worthy of them?

It's them who are not worthy of Shen Chu.

Xie Ming looked at Minister Shen with a cruel look in his eyes, but when he realized something, he immediately suppressed the cruelty.

What is he doing? Minister Shen is Shen Chu's father.

Xie Ming clenched and unclenched his hands hanging by his side, and quickly adjusted his mood.

After questioning everyone one by one, His Majesty once again turned his gaze to Xie Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, "Xuan'er, what do you think of what they said?"

The situation is already not optimistic. If he continues to insist, the consequences will be serious.

So the moment His Majesty finished speaking, Xie Xuan immediately changed his tone, "I think what Your Highness said is absolutely right. I was reckless earlier. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Being able to bend and stretch to this extent is something that is worthy of admiration.

But Xie Ming has no time to care about this now.

"Then let's forget about this matter. You all should leave."

His Majesty waved his hand and dismissed everyone. Everyone bowed respectfully to His Majesty and prepared to leave, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood straight in the same place, not moving at all.

"Father, I have something else to do."

Xie Feng glanced at his son and chuckled, "Then everyone else please leave."

Of all his sons, Xie Ming was the most like him.

Xie Ming and his younger self seemed to be cut from the same mold.

So whether it was out of selfishness or because the other party happened to be the prince, Xie Feng was still quite partial to his own son.

After everyone left, he asked Xie Ming, "Is it about Xuan'er?"

When saying this, Xie Feng didn't look at Xie Ming at all. His eyes were fixed on the memorial, as if he wanted to see a hole in it.

Xie Ming was not afraid at all when he heard this, and said directly, "Your Highness wants to find a wife for your brother, and I hope your Highness will grant your approval."

Ming'er's thoughts are exactly the same as when he was young.

-

After eating and drinking, Shen Chu and his companions set out to dig graves. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the operation, they also bought hoes.

However, what Shen Chu and the others didn't know was that Xie An Ning was captured by Xie Ming as soon as he returned to the palace.

"Where is she?"

There was no name in Xie Ming's words, but both he and Xie An Ning knew very well who this "she" was referring to.

Who else could it be but Shen Chu?

But she had promised Sister Chu not to tell Xie Ming about her itinerary.

"I do not know."

Under Xie Ming's cold gaze, Xie An Ning spoke in a firm tone and made up his mind in his heart not to tell Xie Ming about this.

But after hearing Xie Anning's answer, Xie Ming didn't feel surprised at all. His voice was hoarse but with a hint of subtle disappointment. "She doesn't want me to know? Anning, tell me, if I bring people to surround the Shangshu Mansion, will she come back?"

Knowing that his brother, the Crown Prince, was sometimes not normal, Xie An Ning did not back down when she heard such words. She still gritted her teeth and did not reveal a word.

Even so, Xie Ming still didn't let go of Xie An Ning's hand, his tone perverse and crazy, "What if I slaughtered everyone in the Shangshu Mansion? Will she not care at all?"
