"If you want to know, why don't you go ask Concubine Shu first?"

Xie Xi had always known that his eldest brother was a dissolute person by nature, and had always been reckless and extremely obsessed with matters between men and women.

Whenever the eldest prince leaves the palace, he will definitely go to brothels. If he were to stand in front of Lu Xiaoxiao again, I'm afraid Lu Xiaoxiao would be ruined.

Xie Xi instantly lost the desire to deal with his eldest brother. He said something indifferently, pulled Lu Xiaoxiao's sleeve, and was about to turn around and leave.

"According to what Second Prince said, could it be that my mother knows the identity of this girl?"

Xie Qi's smile faded slightly, and he stared at Lu Xiaoxiao thoughtfully, feeling a little doubtful.

When Concubine Shu sent Lu Xiaoxiao to the Prince's Mansion, Xie Qi did not pay much attention to it, so naturally he did not recognize Lu Xiaoxiao now.

"Yes or no, my brother will know after asking."

After saying this, before the eldest prince could react, Xie Xi took Lu Xiaoxiao away.

Looking at the two people's backs gradually going away, Xie Qi, who was standing in the same place, suddenly became gloomy and his eyes became dark.

He hesitated to move, and the guard A Yu who followed him waited patiently for a moment before saying, "Master, do you want to go to Luhe Palace?"

Ah Yu heard clearly what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said earlier, but he didn't know whether his master would really go to Concubine Shu to ask about this matter.

Xie Qi came back to his senses and said coldly, "Go."

After saying that, Xie Qi turned around and walked towards Luhe Palace.

He had just come out of Luhe Palace a quarter of an hour ago, but he didn't expect that he would have to go to his mother to answer questions so soon.

Xie Qi had been coveting that position for several years, and he had long understood that every word from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be taken lightly.

Seeing this, A Yu hurriedly followed.

……

On the way to Feng'an Palace, Lu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled, "Why did Your Highness tell the eldest prince about my identity? Isn't Your Highness afraid that the eldest prince will interfere?"

[Although I have no bad intentions towards His Highness, the eldest prince and Concubine Shu are not good people. Once Concubine Shu finds out that His Highness brought me into the palace, I'm afraid she will take drastic measures again.]

[Maybe I will be the unlucky one...]

Lu Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly, and suddenly, she thought of something else: [It’s strange to say, I’ve been in the Prince’s Mansion for so long, why didn’t the Concubine Shu send someone to ask about the situation? ]

"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao. He doesn't dare."

Xie Xi pursed his lips and chuckled. Seeing how distressed Lu Xiaoxiao was, he couldn't help but want to tease her. "But if the eldest prince really wants to interfere, who will Xiaoxiao choose to help?"

"???"

Lu Xiaoxiao stared at Xie Xi with her eyes wide open in shock. She frowned and was inexplicably angry: "Why did your Highness say that? Have I ever done anything to murder your Highness along the way to Jiangnan?"

"Even though I was sent to the Prince's Mansion by Concubine Shu, I have already told Your Highness that I will not help Concubine Shu to plot against Your Highness!"

"Never!"

Lu Xiaoxiao felt a little aggrieved. She turned her face away and looked away, with the corners of her eyes slightly red.

[What on earth caused His Highness to have the illusion that the Concubine Shu was more important than His Highness in my heart? ]

[Your Highness, have you been so angry at the shamelessness of the mighty general that your brain went crazy? Otherwise, how could Your Highness say such a foolish thing? ]

Xie Xi: “…”

His brain is still intact.

Xie Xi rubbed her head helplessly, and said in a gentle voice: "I was just thinking about it wrongly, Xiaoxiao, please don't be angry, okay?"

He shouldn't have teased Xiaoxiao just now. Now he has made her angry.

Lu Xiaoxiao snorted lightly and said in a somewhat arrogant tone: "Okay, for the sake of Your Highness, I won't be angry anymore."

There was a faint smile in Xie Xi's eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"but……"

Lu Xiaoxiao coughed lightly, and stared at Xie Xi with her sparkling almond eyes, her eyebrows and eyes full of curiosity: "Why did His Highness say that he didn't dare just now?"

Xie Xi: "Want to know?"

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded quickly, her face full of curiosity: "How about, Your Highness, tell me?"

"it is good."

Xie Xi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "You were sent to the Crown Prince's Mansion by Concubine Shu, and the eldest prince is Concubine Shu's son. Even if the eldest prince really mentioned you in front of Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu would definitely tell him not to worry about it."

"After all, in the eyes of Concubine Shu, your relatives are still in her hands. You dare not disobey her. The better she treats you, the more valuable you will be to Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu will not let you go as a chess piece, and naturally she will not let the eldest prince get involved..."

"Your Highness, what you said... seems to make some sense?"

Your Highness is right. The more Your Highness values ​​her, the more important she will become as an informant.

The Concubine Shu would not easily take action against her.

"What I said makes sense."

Seeing her silly look, Xie Xi couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

[I don't understand why His Highness is laughing so happily? What did I just say? ]

Forget it. If you can’t figure something out, there’s no need to waste your time thinking about it.

……

While the two were talking, they had already arrived outside Feng'an Palace.

The guards outside were planning to go into Feng'an Palace to report to the Queen, but were stopped by the Crown Prince: "No need to go in to report. I want to go in and give my mother a surprise."

Upon hearing this, the chief guard immediately retreated to his original guard position and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please come in."

Xie Xi hummed a low “hmm”, but he still stood there, staring at Lu Xiaoxiao tenderly: “Don’t be afraid when you go in later, Xiaoxiao. Mother is a very gentle person, and you were brought here by me personally, so Mother will definitely not make things difficult for you.”

"it is good."

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, "I will listen to your Highness."

Xie Xi nodded.

After the two masters entered Feng'an Palace, Mu Qing still mixed into the guard team outside the palace gate with an expressionless face, waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lu Fengyi to come out.

"My servant pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"My servant pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"..."

As soon as Xie Xi entered Feng'an Palace, many palace maids knelt on the ground calmly and politely.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not allow the guards to come in and inform him, the palace maids in Feng'an Palace had already had His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's stunning appearance engraved in their bones and blood. Once they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they quickly knelt down and saluted.

"No need to be polite, just get up."

Xie Xi raised his sleeves and signaled the palace maids to get up.

"Yes, slaves obey."

All the palace maids stood up, led by Aunt Yincong, who was one of the maids who served the Queen on a daily basis.

Aunt Yincong had a serious expression on her face, her hair was combed meticulously, and she exuded a serious aura: "Your Highness, are you here to see the Queen this time?"

"Yes."

Xie Xi responded, "Aunt Yincong, where is the Queen Mother right now?"
