Not long after, Xie Xi and Prince Fan met the Sixth Prince Xie Min again.

Only Xie Min was seen riding a horse alone chasing prey, and there was no sight of Xie Yue.

Xie Xi was surprised, frowned slightly, and asked gently: "Sixth brother, have you seen the fifth brother?"

"I don't know."

Hearing this, Xie Min shook his head and watched helplessly as the little elk he had been chasing for a long time disappeared from his sight in panic.

Xie Min couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

That elk is so cute. If I could catch it alive and give it to my mother, she would definitely be happy and treat him better!

But now...

Never mind, he just didn't have that luck after all.

Xie Min is cowardly by nature and dares not blame others, so he can only waste time on himself and take all the blame on himself.

Xie Xi could see that the Sixth Prince was absent-minded. He followed his gaze but could no longer see anything.

Xie Xi looked apologetic and said calmly, "Sixth brother, I just scared your prey. But do you want that elk? I'll go find one for you."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Min quickly refused, "No, no, no, that's not necessary."

"The prey that can escape should not belong to me. Prince, don't take it to heart."

When facing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Xie Min felt a little uncomfortable, so he pulled the reins and wanted to ride away: "My Royal Highness, I'm sorry, I have to go hunting."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Xi had no time to say anything, when he saw his sixth brother riding his horse very fast, as if he was afraid that something was chasing him from behind.

Xie Xi: “…”

Prince Fan couldn't help laughing, but when he met Prince Xi's calm eyes, he tried hard to hold back his laughter and said seriously, "Prince Xi, does this Sixth Prince seem to be afraid of you?"

Xie Xi didn't care why the Sixth Prince was so afraid of him. He raised his hand and rubbed his brows, explaining, "The Sixth Prince is a bit lonely, not because he's afraid of being alone. He's like this no matter who he meets."

"That's it."

Prince Fan suddenly fell into deep thought.

This means that the Sixth Prince is not capable of handling major matters and cannot be a good destination for his Seventh Princess.

Then only the fourth and fifth princes of Li are left.

The Crown Prince of Fan was a little hesitant. If he had guessed correctly before, there seemed to be some friction between Crown Prince Xi and the Fourth Prince?

In his opinion, the State of Li would definitely fall into the hands of Prince Xi in the future, and the marriage between the State of Fan and the State of Li should also be to stand on the side of Prince Xi.

If the Fourth Prince cannot be chosen, then the Fifth Prince is the only one left.

"Speaking of which, I have been here for such a long time, why have I never seen that Prince Yue?"

The Fifth Prince might very well become his brother-in-law, so he had to see with his own eyes how the Fifth Prince rode and shot, and whether he could protect his Seventh Sister in the future...

Xie Xi glanced at him thoughtfully: "Maybe the fifth brother rode away on his horse, so we didn't run into him. Let's go inside and see if we can meet him."

"Row."

Prince Fan responded and ran forward, holding his horse's belly.

Seeing the two horses suddenly distance themselves from each other, Xie Xi came to his senses and was about to catch up, but saw his secret guard suddenly appear in front of him.

"master."

The secret guard lowered his head and knelt on one knee. He clasped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Seventeen sent a message saying that Lu Liangyuan has arrived outside the hunting grounds and wants the master to go over there."

"Xiaoxiao came to the hunting ground?"

Xie Xi was shocked and wondered why Xiao Xiao came to the hunting ground at this time.

He knew Xiaoxiao. If she didn't have something urgent to discuss with him, she would never come here without telling him...

Xie Xi lowered his eyes, hiding the deep thoughts in his eyes, "Okay, I understand, I will go over."

The secret guard replied "yes" and disappeared on the spot.

The Prince of Fan State, who was parked not far away, came over on horseback.

He had originally run far away, but before Prince Xi could catch up, he turned back.

"Prince Xi, what is the matter?"

Xie Xi: "I have to go out and pick someone up. You can continue hunting here first."

After saying this, Xie Xi left.

The Prince of Fan State was suddenly left behind: ???

-

After coming out of the dense forest, for fear of keeping Xiao Xiao waiting for too long, Xie Xi rode his horse at full speed and soon arrived at the main entrance of the hunting ground.

Looking up, Xie Xi saw the beautiful figure standing in front of him.

"Little!"

Xie Xi dismounted from his horse and walked quickly towards Lu Xiaoxiao.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoxiao curved her eyes, a brilliant smile on her face, and without saying a word, she trotted into Xie Xi's arms: "Your Highness!"

Xie Xi reached out and hugged her, lowering his eyes and looking at her with tenderness, "Why did you come here suddenly? What happened?"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiaoxiao's back stiffened slightly, and she subconsciously looked around, "Your Highness, I have something to tell you."

[The Concubine Shu in the palace has gone mad again. Because the eldest prince was put in solitary confinement, Concubine Shu was treated coldly and was also put in solitary confinement. Concubine Shu was so upset that she sent someone to deal with His Highness again! ]

Lu Xiaoxiao really admired Concubine Shu's determination to commit suicide. It was obvious that as long as she did nothing, even if His Highness ascended the throne in the future, His Highness would not take Concubine Shu's life.

But now...

In order to help the eldest prince ascend to the throne, Concubine Shu becomes more and more courageous as she faces more setbacks.

[You should know that this time, Concubine Shu ordered the Li family to deal with Your Highness. If Your Highness is not careful and falls into their trap, then the Li family members deserve to die! ]

[If it weren't for His Highness, I wouldn't have to make this trip. ]

[Those people have long been lying in ambush around the hunting grounds. As soon as Your Highness and the others leave the hunting grounds, those people will swarm out and attack Your Highness...]

Listening to Lu Xiaoxiao's complaints in her heart, Xie Xi frowned, but his expression soon calmed down. He didn't expect that Concubine Shu would send someone to deal with him again so soon.

Obviously, my brother is still under house arrest by my father, but Concubine Shu is so bold that she insists on thinking that my father knows nothing...

Xie Xi hummed softly, holding Lu Xiaoxiao's hand and walking towards Qingxue, "Xiaoxiao, it's windy here, let's go in first."

"Your Highness, this horse is so beautiful. Does it have a name?"

When Lu Xiaoxiao saw Qingxue's beautiful fur, she couldn't help but feel happy. She wanted to reach out and touch it, but she didn't dare.

Finally, Xie Xi saw through her thoughts, took her little hand, put it on the horse's back, and gently stroked it.

Xie Xi: "It's called Light Snow."

"Light snow."

Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled: "This name is really nice."

After the words fell, Qingxue seemed to understand what was said, and suddenly rubbed Lu Xiaoxiao's cheek with her head, as if to express her joy.

Lu Xiaoxiao was instantly amused, and while reaching out to block Qingxue's big head, she quickly said: "Qingxue, Qingxue, stop rubbing, it's a bit itchy."

Xie Xi patted the horse's head and said, "Okay, I'll take you on the horse and give it a try."

"it is good!"

Lu Xiaoxiao's tone was full of joy, and she kept urging Xie Xi: "Your Highness, take me to the horse!"

"Come, I'll help you."

"Ok!"

After Xie Xi helped Lu Xiaoxiao onto the horse, he quickly jumped onto the horse and sat behind Lu Xiaoxiao.

"drive!"

The two of them rode together into the hunting ground.

Seeing that besides the two of them, there were only the imperial guards patrolling around in the hunting ground at this time, the entire hunting ground seemed very quiet.

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Your Highness, have the others gone into the forest to hunt?"

Xie Xi: "There are a lot of prey in the dense forest. They have been in there for a while."

Lu Xiaoxiao was just curious and asked casually.

After His Highness took her to a relatively remote and spacious place, she began to talk about business: "Your Highness, there are many assassins lying in ambush outside the hunting ground."

"It was the assassin hired by the Li family, and the mastermind behind it was Concubine Shu."

"The source of the information is very prepared, Your Highness, please prepare in advance."

"I believe in you alone."

Xie Xi said.

He had believed it so many times before, and this time was no exception.

After instructing the secret guards to gather people, Xie Xi gently rested his chin on her right shoulder. His nostrils were filled with the fragrance wafting from her body, very faint, but able to make him remember it at all times.

"If something like this happens again, Xiaoxiao doesn't have to come here in person. Just let Shiqi pass the message. I'm worried about you coming here."

"But I want to see you."

"..."

Her voice was soft and innocent, and Xie Xi was stunned for a moment. He pursed his lips, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and after a long while he uttered a low "hmm".

No one could see his earlobes which were so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood.

Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something important, and said with some gloating: "Oh, by the way, Your Highness, there is one more thing."

Xie Xi: "What's the matter?"

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Your Highness, do you still remember Miss Luo Fangfeiluo from Prime Minister Luo's family?"

[The Luo family is in chaos right now, and there is no peace. I wonder if Prime Minister Luo will regret letting these two troublemakers come to Shengjing? ]

Xie Xi frowned. He was not familiar with the name Lu Xiaoxiao mentioned. He asked in confusion, "Luo Fangfei?"

"Yes."

Seeing His Highness so confused, Lu Xiaoxiao reminded him thoughtfully: "That day when Prime Minister Luo came to visit and knelt before His Highness, the girl was Luo Fangfei."

[It was the Concubine who told me about this. I didn’t expect His Highness to forget about it so quickly. What a pity that I didn’t see Luo Fangfei kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy...]

I have some impression of Xie Xi, but not much.

"What did she do again?"

Thinking of Luo Fangfei's "feat", Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "It was Luo Xiang who chose a marriage for Luo Furong. The man's family was wealthy and they didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but Luo Furong didn't like him."

"As a result, Luo Fangfei secretly drugged her cousin Luo Furong and sent her directly to that family as a bride."

"When Luo Furong woke up the next day, she ran back to the Prime Minister's residence crying and complained to Prime Minister Luo. The two sisters confronted each other, and Luo Lian dared not even step into the door of the residence..."

"I didn't expect Luo Xiang to move so quickly."

Xie Xi's tone turned cold, with an ambiguous meaning: "Does that family live in Shengjing City?"

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at him in shock: "How did your highness know?"

[That's not right. The events in Prime Minister Luo's residence have not been announced yet. Why did Your Highness receive the news so soon? ]

Xie Xi: “…”

How does Mu Qing do things?

Why let the girl from the Luo family stay in Shengjing City and feel uncomfortable?

"Only if the man lives in Shengjing City can Prime Minister Luo arrange the marriage so quickly."

If it wasn't in the capital, but for those who were far away, it would take more than a few days for Luo Xiang to send messages back and forth to the other party.

Lu Xiaoxiao agreed deeply and nodded: "Your Highness, what you said does make sense."

"But Your Highness certainly doesn't know which family Luo Furong married into!"

Having said that, Lu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, looking very proud.

Xie Xi really couldn't guess.

Originally, he wanted to hear whether Lu Xiaoxiao would mention it in her heart, but after waiting for a while, no sound came, so Xie Xi said, "I can't guess."

"Lai."

Lu Xiaoxiao said: "I heard that the Lai family is rich and has many grain shops. It looks pretty good, but it's a pity..."

[In order to know the gossip about Luo Furong, I even spent some points to unlock the plot about the man named Lai. Only then did I know that after much deliberation, Luo Xiang chose the dandy young master of the Lai family! ]

[In fact, Luo Xiang originally wanted to let Luo Furong marry his disciple, but Luo Fangfei said that she was afraid that her cousin would suffer and not have enough food or clothes if she married him, so it would be better to find a wealthy family for her cousin so that she could have enough food and warm clothes...]

[It was because of Luo Fangfei's words that Prime Minister Luo picked that wealthy family for Luo Furong. The Lai family wanted to climb up the social ladder, and Prime Minister Luo wanted to protect his niece's wealth. The two parties hit it off, and the marriage was happily decided! ]

[It seems that Luo Furong was the only one who was forced to marry him unwillingly. To be honest, it's a bit miserable. Luo Fangfei is really not an easy person to deal with...]

"So it's the Lai family, that's interesting."

Xie Xi was in deep thought.

Just yesterday he had thought of sending someone to investigate the Lai family's background, but he didn't expect that before he saw the result, he heard about the marriage between Luo Xiang and the Lai family.

From this point of view, the Lai family is really not simple.

Lu Xiaoxiao was curious: "Why? Your Highness knows someone from the Lai family?"

"do not know."

Xie Xi shook his head. "But I have already sent people to thoroughly investigate the Lai family. I just think this is too much of a coincidence."

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know what His Highness was thinking of. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "If there is anything Your Highness doesn't know, you can ask me. Maybe I can tell you."

[However, if you want to know more about the Lai family, I have to find a way to meet the head of the Lai family. ]

Xie Xi raised his hand and rubbed her head. His eyes gradually softened. He smiled and said, "Okay, I got it. If I encounter any problems, I will definitely tell you first."

"it is good."

Lu Xiaoxiao responded obediently.

"Brother Crown Prince!"

Suddenly, an excited voice came from a distance.

Then the sound of horse hooves began to sound.

Xie Xi frowned slightly.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked over when she heard the voice. Relying on the system's prompt, she instantly recognized the identity of the person who came: "Huh? Is that... the fifth prince and the seventh princess of Fan State?"
