After rebirth, the prince fell into the hands of the princess again

"I suspect the person behind this is targeting me."

After Xie Yu finished speaking, he stared at Linlang closely, as if he didn't want to miss any expression on her face. Linlang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, and always felt that something was wrong with Xie Yu today.

"Are there any suspects? There aren't many people who know the real owner of the Xiao Mansion, know your identity, and can come and go freely in the Xiao Mansion."

"So what do you think?" Xie Yu asked again. Linlang frowned slightly. Xie Yu's reaction today was so strange, not like his usual self at all.

It couldn't be that he was scared by such a small thing. He has never been such a timid person.

"Xie Yu, you're a little strange today. You're not the kind of person who loses your temper over a small matter. You reacted so strongly, and you're not like the calm and composed prince you used to be. This might be what the person behind the scenes wants to see. If you fall into the trap, then the person in danger won't be Xiaotian, but you."

Linlang once again felt that she had seen it wrong. Although the Xie Yu she knew could indeed remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe, he had never been able to change his expression so quickly before.

"I know, I was rash just now, I'm sorry."

The atmosphere in the carriage seemed to be a little strange again. Linlang lifted the curtain and took a look. She was already some distance away from the palace and there were no other surveillance people here, so Linlang simply opened the carriage door and jumped out.

Xie Yu followed closely behind, jumped off the carriage, waved to the coachman, and the carriage slowly drove away.

"I haven't ridden in a carriage for a long time, but I still feel uncomfortable. What should we do next?"

Linlang twisted her waist and looked at Xie Yu. Since Xie Yu went directly to Zhixuan Palace to take her away, it meant that he was prepared for this matter.

"Remember your aunt?"

Linlang frowned when she heard this, and some memories slowly emerged, "Are you saying that Xie Yuan was behind this? Didn't she ask to stay away from the court and go out to look for her destined partner? The people of Xiling all know that the princess is very serious about finding a prince consort, so she shouldn't target you."

"Why do you think this matter has something to do with the eldest princess?"

Xie Yuan is the eldest princess of Xiling and the sister of Xie Qixing. According to Linlang's understanding, after helping her brother to secure the throne, the eldest princess asked to leave the court and travel around, looking for a satisfactory son-in-law for herself. There are still many legends about the only eldest princess among the people of Xiling, but these legends have never said that the eldest princess has the ambition to fight against the prince.

"I have always felt that my aunt is not an ordinary woman with nothing but beauty as the rumors say. She was able to help my father ascend the throne during the palace turmoil, and she was able to escape unscathed from the criticism of the officials and asked to leave the court. This shows that my aunt is definitely not a talentless and immoral woman."

Linlang frowned tightly, her tone somewhat unhappy, "Just because of this, you define her as a bully who disregards the life of children for her own goals. Isn't it a bit too arbitrary? It is true that she helped her brother to ascend to the throne. It is also true that your father's government was unstable and the princess helped him with all her might. When the court was doing well, everyone criticized her. What else can the princess do except to ask to leave the court?"

"She has clearly lost the trust of those closest to her, lost the power and position that she had risked everything to gain, is misunderstood by all officials, and is even feared by those she loves the most. Now that you are making such speculations, how can she say that she has escaped unscathed?"

Xie Yu clearly sensed that Linlang was angry.

"I thought you would be different, but I didn't expect you to be someone who looks down on women so much."

Xie Yu didn't expect that his words would offend Lin Lang so much. He was a little flustered for a moment and didn't know how to apologize. He just said dryly: "That's not what I meant."

Linlang didn't want to argue with him about what he meant, so she changed the subject and continued, "Since you have suspicions, you should find a way to confirm it as soon as possible. This time, Xiaotian suffered an unexpected disaster because of you. I think the other party must want to gain some bargaining chips from you. Before this, even if Xiaotian is not in danger, a child will still be afraid. We have to find him quickly."

"Maybe the other party wants to find me faster."

Linlang was stunned, but Xie Yu's words enlightened her. Since the person behind the scenes was targeting Xie Yu, he would definitely take the initiative to find Xie Yu.

"You've already thought of this, why did you take me out of the palace?"

It's not that Linlang wanted to doubt him, it's just because the situation is special at the moment. She is the princess of the Li Dynasty, and Xie Yu is the prince of Xiling. They really shouldn't have too much of a personal relationship.

Xie Yu frowned, and even his eyes became a little darker, "Fanfan, do we really have to be like this?"

Linlang looked around. They were in a crowded place. Now that they were out, Xie Yu would not let her go back unless she explained things clearly. There was a tea stall opposite, so Linlang walked towards it and Xie Yu followed her consciously.

"If you have anything to say, please make it clear today."

"Do you really want to divide the relationship between us so clearly?" Xie Yu was not convinced, especially after meeting Rong Lou that day.

It was obvious that he was the first to know Xu Fan, and they were even engaged. Why did Rong Lou appear halfway?

"You don't want to draw a line? Xie Yu, don't act like you are such a loyal person. We are all the same. We only care about the immediate interests. Do you dare to say that you are not unwilling to give up now because you don't want to lose Dong Xuan's help in consolidating your position as the crown prince?"

Xie Yu seemed to have been hit in a soft spot, his eyes became deep and his face turned cold.

"you like him?"

"Who? Rong Lou?" Linlang's reaction was too frank, which eased Xie Yu's uneasiness a little. He knew her. If she really liked Rong Lou, she would never mention it as frankly as she did now.

"You're not a child anymore. Do you have to like someone before you can get married? We almost got married, do you still want to ask me if I like you?"

"Do you like it?" Xie Yu asked.

His reaction didn't seem like a joke. Linlang was stunned for a moment, then curled the corners of her lips and let out a sarcastic laugh.

"Xie Yu, are you crazy? Three years have turned you into a useless person who is indecisive and indulges in love affairs? Do you still want to keep that position? Don't tell me you really like me."

Linlang has always believed that Xie Yu sincerely wanted to marry her, but he never wanted to marry her because he liked her. If she was not Princess Dongxuan, Xie Yu would not even look at her.

"I know that what happened between me and Rong Lou made you feel very upset, but what qualifications do you have to blame me? Don't think that I don't know that you have been using me all along. Our relationship is indeed good, but everyone knows that it is an alliance based on interests.

"If the Li Dynasty and Xiling really go to war this time, we may not even be friends. Why do you have to pretend to be so affectionate in front of me now? I won't buy it, and you are not that kind of person."

The teacup in Xie Yu's hand shattered with a sound. Even Linlang was a little surprised that her words made him so angry.

"So just because of someone you've only known for a few months, you're going to deny everything we've done before?"
