Meng Huaijun didn't expect that His Highness's trip would be so dangerous.

No wonder he had asked His Highness that day why he couldn't go to Suzhou with His Highness, but His Highness said with a smile: "If Master Huaijun travels with me, I'm afraid he will be frightened every day."

At that time, Meng Huaijun still didn't understand the meaning of these words, until today -

After hearing Lu Fengyi's thoughts, Meng Huaijun realized that His Highness had already expected that the journey would be very turbulent.

As they were still in the lobby of the inn, it was inconvenient to talk, so Meng Huaijun temporarily suppressed his doubts in his heart, "I have something to discuss with you later. I wonder if you can go somewhere with me after dinner?"

"it is good."

Xie Xi nodded slightly.

If they wanted to discuss matters, they couldn't do so in his and Lu Xiaoxiao's room. In this case, they could only go to Master Huaijun's room.

Lu Xiaoxiao held her chin up, her almond-shaped eyes turned, moving back and forth between Meng Huaijun and His Highness, thinking to herself:

[I don't know what Mr. Huaijun and His Highness want to discuss. So His Highness shouldn't need me to follow him, right? ]

[How about I go and get some information first? ]

[I spent half a point to find out that the wife of the Jiangning governor is in Suzhou right now. I don't know if Mr. Huaijun knows about this. Should I remind him? ]

[After all, if I want to get close to the wife of the Jiangning Governor, I still have to rely on Mr. Huaijun’s life-saving grace...]

Hearing this, Meng Huaijun and Xie Xi looked at each other quickly, then quickly looked away, each holding up their teacups to hide their surprise.

This news from Lu Fengyi was extremely important to them.

Originally, Meng Huaijun was thinking of going to Jiangning tomorrow and trying to make an appointment with the wife of the Jiangning governor in the name of an old friend.

Now it seems that there is no need for Meng Huaijun to go to Jiangning.

[But how can I remind Master Huaijun? Or should I——]

Meng Huaijun already knew the struggle in Lu Fengyi's heart. Seeing Lu Fengyi staring at her quietly, Meng Huaijun was not surprised. Instead, she smiled gently at her and said, "Madam, do you have anything to say?"

Lu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then quickly looked at Xie Xi: "Husband, I want to take Chenlu and Baizhi out for a walk later."

[It seems that I should first have a chance encounter with the wife of the Jiangning Governor to find out what's going on, and then come back to the inn to tell Master Huaijun and my husband! ]

[Anyway, with Jiujiu here, there is no need to worry about not being able to find the wife of the Jiangning governor. ]

After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao was thinking of doing, Xie Xi, who had originally wanted to take Lu Xiaoxiao with him to discuss matters, immediately changed his mind and said, "Okay, Madam, you can go shopping on the street first. If you see anything you want to buy, buy it all."

As he spoke, Xie Xi took off the purse from his waist, handed it to Lu Xiaoxiao, and gently reminded her: "There are banknotes in it. When you need to use them, go to Tongbao Bank to exchange them first. Remember?"

Tongbao Money House was also an asset under Xie Xi's name.

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Xie Xi in a daze.

[Your Highness is so kind, I am a little touched. What should I do if I want to cry? ]

[If Your Highness wishes—]

"cough cough"

Xie Xi almost choked on the tea.

He didn't forget that Master Huaijun could also hear Lu Xiaoxiao's inner voice. Normally, Lu Xiaoxiao would just express her feelings to him in her heart, but now Master Huaijun was here. If Master Huaijun heard it...

Fearing that Lu Xiaoxiao would say something lewd again, Xie Xi quickly spoke up, trying to interrupt Lu Xiaoxiao's thoughts: "Madam, don't you want it?"

[Hmm? Your Highness, do you want to take it back? ]

Xie Xi: “…”

Xie Xi felt inexplicably aggrieved, as he had never had such an idea at all.

He just didn't want Master Huaijun to hear anything he shouldn't hear.

[No, how could I misinterpret your Highness's meaning? Your Highness is not that kind of person at all! ]

[Your Highness must have just asked casually. ]

Lu Xiaoxiao figured it out quickly. She picked up the purse on the table and smiled sweetly at Xie Xi: "Thank you, husband~"

Looking at the bright smile on her face, Xie Xi curled the corners of his lips unconsciously, and his heart softened: "Yeah."

Meng Huaijun, who was sitting nearby, watched the Crown Prince and Lu Fengyi looking at each other. For some reason, he suddenly felt that the Crown Prince and Lu Fengyi got along just like an ordinary couple.

He couldn't help but feel envious.

Chen Lu and Bai Zhi, who were standing behind, were no longer surprised.

As long as their master can win the heart of His Highness, they, the maids, can rest assured.

After the meal, Lu Xiaoxiao took Chen Lu and Bai Zhi out of Luoyang Inn first.

However, Xie Xi was not at ease letting Lu Xiaoxiao go out with the two maids, so he secretly arranged two secret guards to protect Lu Xiaoxiao.

Xie Xi also specifically instructed the two secret guards to send someone back immediately to report to him if they encountered any accidents.

The two secret guards took the order and left, hiding in the dark.

As soon as they left Luoyang Inn, Lu Xiaoxiao followed Jiujiu's instructions and hired a carriage with Chenlu and Baizhi to head to Chang'an Temple, ten miles outside Suzhou City.

"Jiujiu, how long will the wife of the Jiangning Governor stay in Chang'an Temple?"

Lu Xiaoxiao used her consciousness to ask Jiujiu.

99: [5th day]

[From the system, I learned that the wife of the Jiangning Governor came to Suzhou this time to pray at Chang'an Temple, fasting for five days, and praying to the Buddha to bless her daughter Jiang Hui, the wife of Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an...]

"Ok?"

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be curious, "What happened to Jiang Hui?"

Jiujiu explained the doubts to the host very conscientiously: [Jiang Hui seemed to be seriously ill and could not be cured for a while, but in fact, it was the Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an who secretly poisoned her, using this to threaten the Jiangning Governor and wanted to gain the connections in the hands of the Jiangning Governor.]

[However, the wife of the Jiangning governor did not know that Shi Weian had poisoned Jiang Hui.]

"No way, Shi Wei'an, that scumbag!"

Lu Xiaoxiao took a breath of cold air. She didn't expect that one point was so worthwhile. She even knew such important information.

However, Lu Xiaoxiao was still very angry, "Shi Weian is really a venomous snake. If it weren't for the help of the Jiangning Governor, he would never have been able to sit in the position of Governor of Jiangnan!"

"Then Jiujiu, has the Governor of Jiangning compromised?"

Jiujiu: [Not available yet]

Lu Xiaoxiao: "You mean, if Jiang Hui's condition worsens, the Jiangning governor will compromise?"

Jiujiu: [Yes.]

"That won't work!"

Lu Xiaoxiao reacted instantly: "What kind of poison was Jiang Hui poisoned with? Is there an antidote?"

Jiujiu: [Yes, Ling You, the master of the Divine Doctor Valley, can solve it.]

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

It seems that His Highness must be informed of this matter.

A sound of "Whoa~" interrupted Lu Xiaoxiao's thoughts.

The carriage suddenly stopped.

Just as Lu Xiaoxiao was about to ask, she heard the driver outside say, "Girls, Chang'an Temple is still up the mountain, and my carriage can't go up. Please get off and walk up the mountain."
