The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

"When did I ever help outsiders seize the future of the Rui Palace..."

Luo Xiyao didn't say anything else. Realizing the meaning of Lin Ze's words, she widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Lin Ze, who was about to cry, in horror. She stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning.

what did he say?

Cousin likes Qionghua?

How can it be!

She had clearly asked her cousin before, and her cousin had clearly told her that he didn't like Qionghua.

Afterwards, she went to ask Linze, and Linze told her with great certainty that her cousin had no interest in Qionghua.

Moreover, she had observed her cousin and Qionghua getting along several times. They were either talking about business or not. How could her cousin have such thoughts about Qionghua?

This is simply impossible!

Luo Xiyao looked at Fu Chen beside her, and Fu Chen also looked shocked.

See, not only she thinks so, Fu Chen thinks so too.

Luo Xiyao narrowed her eyes slightly.

Could it be that her cousin scared her but didn't want to apologize to her, so he and Linze played a double act in front of her, trying to cover up the matter?

The more Luo Xiyao thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible, and she became furious.

Her eyes blazed as she spoke to Lin Ze, "Even if my cousin didn't want to apologize, you shouldn't have lied to me about this. I'm afraid you forgot that I clearly asked you at the beginning, and you said that my cousin didn't like Qionghua."

Lin Ze thought of what he had said before and felt so bitter that he couldn't express it.

He didn't expect that the prince's thoughts were so different from ordinary people. What's more, the prince probably didn't realize his feelings for Miss Shen at that time.

As for when he began to realize it and started to stubbornly insist, only the prince himself knows.

But now that it has been said, it must be made clear, so that Princess Pingning won't make stupid moves to match Miss Shen with Huo Jing. She would be happy, but those of them who serve the prince closely would suffer.

Lin Ze said with a headache: "Princess, it's true. How dare I lie to you about such a thing? If the prince knew, he would definitely skin me alive."

Luo Xiyao snorted coldly and didn't believe it.

Seeing Luo Xiyao's expression, Lin Ze knew she didn't believe him. He sighed and said, "Princess, think carefully. Is it true that every time you invite Miss Shen and Master Huo to go out together and the prince sees you, he always looks uneasy?"

Luo Xiyao's body stiffened and her right eye couldn't help but twitch.

Lin Ze continued, "After the prince left, Master Fu had a lot of things to do the next day, so you were also busy and couldn't go out for fun?"

Luo Xiyao's pupils dilated, her face full of horror. She and Fu Chen looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

So, the reason why my cousin always assigned Fu Chen a lot of official business the next day after he ran into her was not because he was alone and couldn't stand her having a good relationship with Fu Chen, but because she was trying to match Qionghua and Huo Jing?

Yes, before she met Qionghua, she had been caught by her cousin when she went out with Fu Chen, but her cousin had never done any of those little tricks.

It all started when she introduced Qionghua to Huo Jing and was caught by her cousin.

Why should Fu Chen be kept so busy?

Because Huo Jing is a foreigner.

If Fu Chen didn't have time, even if she invited Qionghua to go out and play, she would not invite Huo Jing, thus avoiding the possibility of Qionghua and Huo Jing meeting.

Things that she didn't quite understand before were strung together in her mind like beads. Even though Luo Xiyao didn't want to believe it, she had to believe it in the face of facts.

So... my cousin really likes Qionghua...?

So...she had been trying to match up her cousin's sweetheart with someone else, and she kept showing off her 'achievements' in front of her cousin...?

Realizing this, Luo Xiyao felt as if his neck was being strangled. His throat was extremely dry, but he couldn't utter a word.

The previous anger had long disappeared, and a feeling of fear slowly climbed up Luo Xiyao's back, making her break out in a cold sweat.

She is really... No wonder her cousin is so angry. If it were her, she would be angry too.

Luo Xiyao felt uneasy when she thought about what she had done before, but she felt relieved the next moment.

My cousin likes Qionghua, but it is unrequited love, and Qionghua doesn't like my cousin.

If my cousin wanted to pursue Qionghua, would he dare to make things difficult for me, Qionghua's best friend?

If her cousin dared to make things difficult for her again, she couldn't guarantee that she could control her mouth and not say bad things about her cousin in front of Qionghua.

As if she had found a backer and a way to control Xie Nanyuan, Luo Xiyao straightened her neck, which had been a little shivering, and her back was straight, with a hint of pride inadvertently flashing in her eyes.

But soon, Luo Xiyao froze again.

Oh no, my cousin was so angry just now. Could it be that he thought Qionghua was going to marry Huo Jing soon and ran away to the Shen family?

What’s even more terrible is that Huo Jing should still be in the Shen Mansion at this time today!

Nothing's going to happen, right?!

"Hurry, go to the Shen family, and don't let your cousin do anything!" Luo Xiyao said in panic.

Lin Ze was also planning to go to the Shen family to chase Xie Nanyuan. After explaining to Luo Xiyao, he strode out of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, jumped on his horse, and rode in the direction of the Shen family.

-

Shen House.

It was a hot summer day, and the sun was at its highest. Shen Qionghua and Huo Jing took a walk in the Shen family's garden.

Shen Qionghua led Huo Jing to cool off in the pavilion beside the pond. Shaoyao Gancao and the servants brought by Huo Jing were waiting for instructions in the shade not far away.

The two of them talked while tasting the prepared flower tea and pastries, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

"County Lady, not everything can go as planned. It still depends on your personal ideas."

"Since you don't want to, why force it?" Huo Jing consoled.

Shen Qionghua sighed softly, "I think so too, but I'm afraid the Shen family can't bear the consequences of letting it go."

Huo Jing pursed his lips and said, "Since the county lady has not changed her mind, Huo Jing will definitely do his utmost during this period."

Shen Qionghua smiled and was about to say some words of thanks when she heard a cry of surprise from Shaoyao and others who were standing in the shadow of the corner not far away.

Shen Qionghua paused, and looked in that direction at the same time as Huo Jing, and saw Xie Nanyuan standing in the corner with a gloomy face.

Why is King Rui here?

He climbed over the wall in broad daylight and didn't hear any notification from the people below.

Shen Qionghua frowned, stood up and was about to ask loudly, when she felt Xie Nanyuan floating in like a gust of cold wind, and was in front of her in the blink of an eye.

Xie Nanyuan saw that there were only Shen Qionghua and Huo Jing in the pavilion. When they saw that he even stood up in sync, he couldn't suppress the jealousy in his heart.

He glanced at the two of them with a sinister look, and finally landed on Huo Jing. He said sinisterly, "It's really strange that Master Huo is not at home but at the Shen Mansion."

"It seems that I am disturbing you?"

Shen Qionghua: “…”

Huo Jing: “…”
