Guard Si Ling looked sincere, and it was hard to bear to be rejected...

After thinking about it, Xie Lingxi agreed.

Si Ling followed His Royal Highness Prince Chen back to the capital, so he must be Prince Chen's confidant and worthy of trust.

As for why he wanted to borrow her space to talk, Xie Lingxi thought about it and thought it might be related to Prince Chen.

What else could it be?

But she was also very confused. What was inconvenient to say in front of her eldest brother? She had to avoid her brother.

But since there was no danger, Xie Lingxi did not refuse and agreed readily, then turned around to comfort her elder brother.

"Brother, it's okay. I'll go over and have a good chat with Guard Si Ling. Wait for me for a while."

After saying that, he raised his hand and said, "Guard Si Ling, please!"

Si Ling breathed a sigh of relief, then walked to the side, and Xie Lingxi followed.

The two of them arrived at the gate of the courtyard and stopped about ten steps away from Xie Zhibai.

They were still within Xie Zhibai's field of vision, but the distance was a bit far. If the two of them deliberately lowered their volume, Xie Zhibai would not be able to hear what they were talking about.

Moreover, Si Ling deliberately turned sideways and used his body to block Xie Zhibai's sight.

Seeing this, Xie Zhibai took a stab at Si Ling in his heart.

I don’t know whether Prince Chen has left or not. If he hasn’t left, I will definitely mention it to Prince Chen later!

The people under my command are not very obedient.

"Guard Si Ling, if you have something to say, just tell me. Is it related to His Royal Highness Prince Chen?"

Xie Lingxi asked curiously.

Si Ling originally wanted to ask about the Fifth Prince, but after thinking about it, he realized that His Highness had already promised Miss Xie that he would not ask about this matter.

If I asked, would Miss Xie notice that I was eavesdropping?

Forget it, let His Highness ask about this matter in person when they meet, so that the two of them can have something to talk about.

Si Ling nodded immediately and then made a request.

"That's right. What I want to say is indeed related to His Royal Highness Prince Chen. Miss Xie also seems to be a straightforward person. I am a direct person and don't like to beat around the bush. So I will speak directly."

After he finished speaking, Si Ling sighed, his expression filled with sorrow.

"Miss Xie, I have an unwelcome request. Could you please spare some time to visit His Royal Highness Prince Chen? It has been a long time since we returned to the capital. We have to go back, otherwise it will be a waste of time."

Xie Lingxi couldn't hide the confusion on her face, she even thought she had misheard.

After coughing twice, Miss Xie's eyes became clear and she asked in a serious tone.

"Um... Guard Si Ling, did you say this to the wrong person? Shouldn't my elder brother go to visit the patient? He is a good friend of His Highness, right? I'm not a doctor..."

Xie Lingxi put it more tactfully.

To put it bluntly,

I don't have much in common with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen, so if I really want to visit him, it won't be her turn.

Whether it is parents, elder brother, or even younger brother, they can all be ranked ahead of him.

It's not appropriate for a woman like me to visit a man I'm not familiar with, right?

Si Ling had obviously expected this, and he immediately shook his head without a trace of embarrassment on his face, as if he did not realize how inappropriate this request was, but rather felt deeply helpless.

"Miss Xie, I know this is a little sudden, but I have no other choice. You don't know that His Royal Highness Prince Chen has been in the military camp for so many years, even though the people praise him, worship him, and make him a god of war."

"But our prince is just an ordinary man after all. Apart from the halo of the God of War, he is an ordinary person. When he was in the capital, he could occasionally go to the palace to see the Queen Mother, or have a drink with a few friends like Prince Xie. But now he has been sent to guard the border, and it will be difficult for him to have such an opportunity again..."

Seeing that Xie Lingxi was listening attentively, Si Ling tried again.

"Moreover, Your Highness was injured on the way back to the capital. I am very worried about Your Highness's health. Your bad mood will also affect the recovery of your wounds."

"Originally, this request should be made to Master Xie, but the Xie family and the Xiao family are in conflict, and Master Xie is a talented man. No matter where he goes, he will definitely be watched recently. But Miss Xie is different——"

Having said that, Si Ling changed the subject.

When Xie Lingxi raised her eyes, she saw that Si Ling was really excited, and the corners of her mouth were raised.

I just heard Si Ling saying, unable to hide his happiness.

"Miss Xie is a girl, and although she has to be careful about her words and actions, there aren't that many people watching her when she's out and about. My prince is recuperating in a place where it's not convenient for outsiders to go there, but it's okay for Miss Xie to go there."

Afraid that Xie Lingxi would refuse, Si Ling gave her a drastic measure.

"I just accidentally heard Miss Xie calling Your Highness brother. Since he is your brother, it is only natural for Miss Xie to visit you. Isn't it normal for a family to care about each other?"

Xie Lingxi's doubts were resolved, and what Si Ling said did make sense. If a family member is sick, it is indeed okay to visit them.

But... I always feel like something is wrong.

But when he thought about how he had the audacity to call His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen "brother" just now, he couldn't just turn his face away and deny him, that would be too inhumane.

What's more, in order to help with this matter for his family, His Royal Highness Prince Chen not only rushed back from the border, but also got injured. Not only was he injured, but even at this point, he was willing to take the blame for his family and take over the Fifth Prince's affairs.

Just for this righteousness!

You can't just do nothing.

Now that the guards have come to me for help, wouldn't it be too cold-hearted if I refuse?

Thinking of this, Xie Lingxi immediately agreed, very happily.

"Okay! I promise you! I will go visit him as soon as possible. Tell me what His Royal Highness Prince Chen likes to eat. My cooking skills are not that great, but it tastes good. His Royal Highness needs care the most right now. I think if I make something delicious for him, he will definitely be happy."

This was also the realization that Xie Lingxi gained after experiencing the painful lessons in her previous life.

Before she got married, she might be happy when her mother occasionally made cakes and side dishes for her, but she didn't cherish them that much.

Until she got married, she lived under the insults and ridicules of the Xiao family every day. Occasionally, when her mother sent her clothes and food, she treated them as treasures and almost cried while using and eating them.

It was then that she realized what a waste all the efforts she had made for her mother before she got married.

I guess what His Royal Highness Prince Chen really desires is the care and concern from his family and friends, right?

Xie Lingxi agreed readily.

Si Ling immediately became happy: "Okay! Your Highness is not picky, everything is fine, thank you very much, Miss! Then I will welcome you respectfully!"

Xie Lingxi smiled and nodded, and Si Ling left.

Xie Lingxi wanted to ask if His Royal Highness Prince Chen was still there, but swallowed the words back.

Since Si Ling didn't say anything, and His Royal Highness Prince Chen didn't come, he should have left, right?
