Chapter 724 Coveting Father’s Concubine 35

When Xie Yuan heard this, he calmly withdrew his gaze. His eyes were like quiet pools of water, and his long eyelashes were overturned: "This matter is not worthy of your Highness's action. I also have a sense of propriety in my heart."

Seeing how boring he was, the prince sneered lightly and stopped mentioning it. He accidentally caught a glimpse of Xiao Yun'an. The prince's gloomy eyes were dim and he said casually, "What do you think of the second prince? Can you compete with Gu?" "

Xie Yuan raised his head to look at the second prince and answered appropriately: "The second prince is sick and weak and has no intention of fighting for power. He is no better than your highness."

"Ha." The prince smiled uncharacteristically, and his tone seemed a bit weird for no reason, "This little brother Gu may not be as simple as he seems on the surface."

Xie Yuan was noncommittal.

After the emperor took his seat, the banquet started. All the ministers in the court wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Xie Yuan, so Xie Yuan was poured a lot of wine. The young man's lips were red, his skin was as white as snow, and his eyes were as pale as dust. The minister's show of kindness was neither sad nor happy, and his mood was restrained, which was completely different from the prince's public and high-profile personality.

Previously, everyone thought that the eldest son of the chief minister was not favored and would be embarrassed in the future, but they never thought that Xie Yuan had such achievements at such a young age, and the chief minister did not neglect his eldest son as rumored, and the relationship between father and son was harmonious. , not as alienated as everyone expected.

Sure enough, you can't just rely on listening to everything, you need to practice it yourself.

After drinking for three rounds, Xie Yuan had time to spare. He raised his head and looked in the direction of his aunt, but couldn't help but froze. There was no one around Xie Lin.

...

Ji Yan didn't like the atmosphere of the palace banquet very much, so she brought Shuangshuang out to get some fresh air.

The palace was full of green tiles, carved beams and painted pillars, all exuding exquisiteness. Ji Yan didn't go too far and only walked around the corridor. She never thought that on the way back, she bumped into Xiao Yunan who was also out for some fresh air.

The second prince sat alone in a wheelchair, with a thin blanket covering his knees, quietly closing his eyes to relax.

The corridor was narrow, and Ji Yan could not turn a blind eye at this time, so she walked forward to say hello to the second prince.

Xiao Yunan glanced at her lightly, nodded and said, "Mrs. Xie also came out for some air?"

Ji Yan paused for a moment and shook her head: "Mrs.

The second prince heard her say this, but he smiled and said nothing. The smile on his lips was still gentle and refreshing.

Ji Yan was about to speak and continue, but she keenly felt a sound breaking through the air, her eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkled, and her mind was spinning a thousand times. In the end, she had no time to react, and pushed Xiao Yun'an's wheelchair away, but she couldn't dodge in time. An arrow grazed his arm, and his sleeve was cut open, with blood seeping out.

Shuangshuang was almost frightened from behind. She reacted and immediately called someone.

On the other side, the prince said jokingly: "I didn't expect that Gu's brother would have to rely on a woman to save him."

Xie Yuan stood beside the prince, his eyes dark and deep, but he didn't say a word.

Xiao Yuzhi turned to look at him and said meaningfully: "It's a pity that Gu's temptation was ruined by your good aunt."

Xie Yuan remained silent.

Shuangshuang stumbled and ran to call someone. The prince said casually: "That maid, you go and deal with it. You don't need to remind me what to do."

After Xiao Yuzhi finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.

Xie Yuan raised his eyes, the prince wanted Shuangshuang's life, but if something happened to Shuangshuang in his hands, I'm afraid my aunt would never give him another chance.

Shuangshuang was running hastily when a section of crimson robe suddenly appeared in her eyes. She looked up and saw the cold and beautiful face of the eldest son. Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground and said: "Eldest son, there are assassins in the palace. Madam and The second prince is in danger!"

"Yes." Xie Yuan said in a calm voice, "Don't make any announcement in advance. You can take me to find my aunt and the second prince first."

Although Shuangshuang was puzzled, she was frightened. Xie Yuan did whatever he said and hurriedly led him to find Ji Yan.

In the corridor, Xiao Yun'an's expression paled a little, "I'm sorry, Yun An has caused trouble to Madam."

The feathered arrow just now was obviously aimed at him. Ji was just a woman who happened to be implicated by him.

Ji Yan shook her head: "His Royal Highness, the Second Prince, is fine. It's okay for me. He just scratched his skin. It's best for His Highness not to go out alone in the future, so as not to encounter the situation just now."

"Yes." Xiao Yunan nodded, "Thanks to Mrs. Xie for helping me today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yuan strode over. The young man pursed his lips, walked forward in a few steps, and held Ji Yan's wrist.

His eyes were dim, and before she could speak, he said to Xiao Yunan: "Your Highness, the Second Prince, my aunt is injured. I need to take her to deal with it, so I'll excuse you now."

Xiao Yunan seemed to be stunned for a moment before nodding: "Okay, Mrs. Xie's injury is serious."

After the words fell, the young man held Ji Yan's wrist and led her forward with a gloomy look on his face. He pressed his hand slightly and pursed his thin lips tightly.

His pace was so fast that Ji Yan couldn't keep up, so she had no choice but to say: "Stop, Xie Yuan."

Xie Yuan was still frightened and did not hear her voice until the girl's voice softened and said: "Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Yuan was startled for a moment, then his expression became a little softer, but he stared at her faintly and said: "Why do you want to block the arrow for the second prince?"

"You all know." Ji Yan was stunned for a moment, and then explained to him, "The second prince is a prince after all. I happened to run into him, so I couldn't just sit idly by. Besides, I didn't block his arrows, I just pushed him. Suddenly, my shoulder was accidentally rubbed again."

Xie Yuan pursed his lips: "It's all bleeding..."

When Ji Yan heard this, she couldn't help but look down and shook her head: "It's nothing serious, it doesn't hurt."

Xie Yuan's eyes became darker. He didn't want her to risk her own life for the sake of others. If it were a real assassin today, rather than a deliberate test by the prince, and she tried to protect the second prince from disaster, she would only be shot into pieces by arrows in the dark.

If your life is lost, what's the point.

Xie Yuan said nothing, gently holding her wrist and continuing to walk out. The young man's crimson robe overlapped with her blue skirt from time to time. Ji Yan had to step wider to keep up with him. .

After a while, Ji Yan sweated on the tip of her nose. She looked up at his slightly cold side face, paused, stretched out her hand and tugged on his sleeves twice, "Where are you going?"

Xie Yuan didn't look sideways as he held her hand and said, "Go back to Xie's Mansion."

A trace of confusion appeared in Ji Yan's eyebrows: "Can I leave the palace early? Wouldn't it be bad?"

"No." No matter what she asked, Xie Yuan would answer, but his voice was slightly hoarse at this time.

Ji Yan was brought to the palace gate by him without knowing it. When the young man from the Xie Mansion saw the two of them, he was startled, lowered his head and did not dare to look at them. He lowered his eyebrows and said, "Is the eldest son going back to the mansion? "

Xie Yuan said a faint "Yes" and held her wrist without any hesitation. Ji Yan also saw something unusual. He didn't feel right today. Is it because he drank?

While she was still thinking, her waist suddenly tightened, and the next second she was picked up horizontally and fell into an embrace that contained cold fragrance.
