Crazy and bad again, the princess is the best in Beijing

Xie Xuanzhi replied, "Kill Lu Xingzhi and help the princess resolve her engagement with him."

Shi Wanwan: “…”

She thought his sincerity was the same as before, giving her a stack of banknotes and some night pearls or something, but who knew he would be so fierce.

She asked, "How do you kill him?"

Xie Xuanzhi replied, "After the princess deduced in Jingzhao Prefecture that Lu Xingzhi was the mastermind behind the assassination, clues pointed to him."

"For now, I have suppressed that clue and have not let the people in Jingzhao Prefecture find out."

"As long as the princess says a word, the people in Jingzhao Prefecture will immediately get the clue. Lu Xingzhi's murder will be a done deal, and he will be killed without a doubt."

Shi Wanwan narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this: "What do you mean?"

Xie Xuan knew that after taking a sip of tea, he said calmly, "What this means is that once Lu Xingzhi dies, the engagement between the princess and him will naturally be cancelled."

Shi Wanwan asked, "Did you prepare these so-called clues?"

Xie Xuanzhi shook his head: "No, I almost died in that assassination today, so I am particularly concerned about the assassination and sent people to investigate the mastermind behind it."

"The mastermind behind this hasn't been found yet, but we've found this clue."

Shi Wanwan's eyes darkened. "Your Highness, are you saying that someone wants to frame Lu Xingzhi for this?"

Xie Xuanzhi chuckled, "Wasn't it the princess who first framed Lu Xingzhi? The person behind the scenes just took advantage of the situation."

Shi Wanwan's expression changed instantly: "So I gave the person behind this a way to escape?"

Xie Xuanzhi put down the teacup: "That's not entirely true. If he hadn't made this move, I really wouldn't be able to find out who did it."

"But he moved, leaving a loophole. This king found the real murderer behind the scenes."

Shi Wanwan asked, "Who is it?"

Xie Xuanzhi snapped open his folding fan and fanned it leisurely a few times: "This is a different price."

Shi Wanwan: “…”

She understood that he came here tonight to whet her appetite.

She asked, "What does the prince want?"

Xie Xuanzhi didn't answer her. "If you need me to resolve your engagement with Lu Xingzhi, this is the opportunity that's right here."

"This is my sincerity. As long as the princess says the word, from now on, the princess will be free again and can marry whoever she wants."

Shi Wanwan knew before that Xie Xuanzhi was a scheming person, but she had never been as direct as she was this time.

For the first time, she truly realized that the man in front of her was much more powerful than she had expected.

She calmed herself down and said in a deep voice, "Theoretically, if His Majesty doesn't care about this matter, this effect can be achieved."

"So if the prince is using this to demonstrate his sincerity, I don't think it's sincere enough."

Xie Xuanzhi asked, "Then, Princess, what do you think I should do to show my sincerity?"

Shi Wanwan smiled and said, "Of course, we have to kill the real person behind this to show our sincerity."

Xie Xuanzhi raised his eyelids when he heard this: "Is the princess sure?"

Shi Wanwan asked in return, "Why do you ask that, Your Highness? Is it because Your Highness cannot kill the person behind this?"

Xie Xuanzhi's lips curled up, and his whole body added a bit of devilish charm, and his blazing peach blossom eyes teased: "That's not the case."

"I have no particular grudge against that man, but he is the princess's father. Is the princess determined to kill her father?"

Shi Wanwan's expression changed instantly: "The murderer behind this is Shi Meichen?"

Xie Xuanzhi said with some annoyance, "I originally wanted to keep this news a secret so that I could get more benefits from the princess, but I didn't expect it to slip out."

Shi Wanwan rolled her eyes at him.

An old fox like him would never let anything slip.

She asked, "What exactly do you want to do by coming to see me tonight, Your Majesty?"

Xie Xuanzhi replied, "I want to use this information in exchange for the princess detoxifying me."

Shi Wanwan looked at him, and he said calmly, "Even though I won't live long after the poison is cured, I still want to live a little longer."

"If I can live one more day, I can take care of my mother one more day."

Shi Wanwan said in a deep voice, "The prince also wanted to tell me that my situation is extremely dangerous."

"Shi Meichen is my biological father. He is also an important official in the court and very shrewd."

"When he wanted to kill me, he could have done so without showing any signs if he wanted to."

"I can't find any evidence that he did it, so even if I wanted to complain to my uncle the emperor, I couldn't. So my uncle the emperor can't protect me."

"In this capital, only you, whose life is linked to mine, can protect me."

Xie Xuanzhi smiled when he heard this: "My princess is smart, she saved me a lot of trouble."

Shi Wanwan snorted coldly, and Xie Xuanzhi added, "The capital is far more dangerous than the princess imagined."

"I am a dying man, and I have a request for the princess. I will protect the princess's safety to the greatest extent possible."

"So no matter from which angle you look at it, I am the princess's best partner."

"If the princess can cure the poison for me, I can live for three years at most."

"With three years, the princess's abilities should allow her to grow up, and by then she will no longer need me."

"This prince died after completing his mission, and posed no threat to the princess at all."

Shi Wanwan knew that things were definitely not that simple. She asked, "Your Highness is so determined to stay alive. Is there something you have to do?"

Xie Xuanzhi's eyes, which had been smiling all this time, became as sharp and cold as a knife blade at this moment, and she was shocked.

His tone was calm, "The world only knows that my father and brother died on the battlefield, but they don't know that they were poisoned by the same poison as me."

"Someone in the court wants to wipe out the entire Chong Palace and will not allow anyone in the Chong Palace to survive."

"I want to know who that person is and why he did this. Once I find out, I will kill his entire family."

Shi Wanwan's heart started pounding when she heard this.

He spoke these words in a straightforward manner, without any emotion, but she could hear the deep hatred and murderous intent in them.

However, he suppressed the hatred and murderous intent with his reason, and he looked calm on the surface. If anything was involved, he would kill it immediately.

She understood instantly that he was the real madman, much crazier than her!

She wanted to comfort him, but she felt that any comfort would be pale in the face of such a thing, and he didn't seem like the kind of person who needed comfort.

She then said, "I have seen the prince's sincerity. Let us now discuss the reward."

Xie Xuanzhi looked at her. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Theoretically, we are allies now."

"But even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Don't say we are just allies. We can only work after we have agreed on the price!"

Xie Xuanzhi chuckled softly, and looked at her thoughtfully with his phoenix eyes: "What does the princess want?"
