After Shen Xubai finished speaking, Xia Qi quickly bowed his hands to him, and his tone was full of respect: "Thank you for your help, my lord. When I ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely eradicate the influence of my relatives and revive the Xia family. Support justice and stabilize rivers and mountains."

"Well, I believe you." Shen Xubai nodded.

He has never questioned Xia Qi's ability. He knows that Xia Qi is a rare talent for emperors. He was in the past and is still in the present.

No one is more suitable to ascend the throne now but him.

"Come and report to me if there is any situation in the future." Shen Xubai said again.

"Yes, Qi'er knows." Xia Qi replied respectfully.

"It's very late today, you go back." Shen Xubai said again.

After finishing speaking, Shen Xubai turned around and left, leaving only Xia Qi standing there alone.

At this time, Li Yujing, who was still hiding behind the rockery, was still pale, his heart was beating fast, and his breathing was also very short.

Judging by the looks of the two of them, they must have not noticed that he was eavesdropping. Now he only needs to wait for Xia Qi to leave before leaving by himself.

But Li Yujing didn't do that.

He was doted on by the prime minister since he was a child, and it can be said that he grew up among the beautiful flowers, and he has never seen anything dangerous in the world, not to mention that he is now a teenager, when he is full of justice.

So Li Yujing rushed out without saying a word: "Good Xia Qi, you colluded with King Ning and tried to usurp the throne, you are shameless!"

After Li Yujing finished cursing, he stared at Xia Qi aggressively.

After a while, Xia Qi turned around and looked at him, and the two just looked at each other.

Xia Qi's face looked very white against the backdrop of the black robe. He had no expression on his face, but just looked at him quietly, and Li Yujing felt a little flustered for no reason.

Because Xia Qi didn't panic as he expected.

He was so calm, it was hard for Li Yujing not to wonder if he wanted to kill someone to silence him.

Xia Qi raised a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes to look at Li Yujing, as if trying to identify who he was, and after a while, he said, "Young Master Li."

Hearing Xia Qi's words, Li Yujing was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Don't try to get close to me, I will expose you tomorrow!"

As the son of the prime minister, he has seen several princes, especially this Xia Qi. When he was studying, people would compare Xia Qi with him everywhere he went, saying that he was nowhere near Xia Qi. , he was angry.

The most important thing is that Xia Qi is two years younger than him, and he feels ashamed that he can't compare with someone younger than himself.

Seeing that Li Yujing said he was going to expose him, Xia Qi didn't panic, he just walked towards Li Yujing.

"What do you want to do? Kill people to silence them?" Li Yujing frowned suddenly: "I tell you, you can't beat me."

Xia Qi didn't stop, but continued to walk towards Li Yujing until the two got very close.

"Of course I know I can't beat you." Xia Qi looked down at Li Yujing and said softly.

Seeing that he and Xia Qi were so close, Li Yujing felt a little uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but took a step back.

As a result, his back hit a rockery, and there was no way to retreat.

So he bit the bullet and raised his eyes to stare at Xia Qi: "Don't come close to me, get away!"

Xia Qi glanced at Li Yujing, then obediently took a step back, and Li Yujing breathed a sigh of relief.

He found out that this guy Xia Qi didn't know when he was a little taller than him, which was simply too irritating.

But he is only 17 years old, he can still grow longer, and he should be able to grow back in the future.

"You don't need to say anything, I will let my father go into the palace to expose you tomorrow morning." Li Yujing snorted and said.

"Why did you expose me?" Xia Qi asked calmly.

"What do you think?" Li Yujing glared at Xia Qi: "You deliberately pretended to be stupid in order to get the crown prince, you are shameless!"

"It's also a means to compete for the reserve, why can't others do it, am I not the prince?" Xia Qi's voice was low, and it sounded a little resentful.

Hearing Xia Qi's words, Li Yujing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, only thinking that he was making unreasonable words.

"But it's shameful for you to pretend to be crazy and stupid." Li Yujing scolded through gritted teeth.

Xia Qi took a deep look at him, which made Li Yujing's heart tremble.

After a while, Xia Qi said in a low voice: "Then can you not expose me?"

"Hmph, now I know I'm afraid, it's too late!" Li Yujing immediately became extremely proud.

"As long as you don't expose me to everyone, I can do whatever you want." Xia Qi said again.

"You can do anything?" Li Yujing was a little moved by this condition.

After all, he was upset with Xia Qi before.

"Yeah." Xia Qi nodded.

"Then...it depends on my mood. If I'm in a bad mood, you'd better wait for the end." Li Yujing raised his chin and said with a cold snort.

"Then what do you want to be in a good mood?" Xia Qi asked again.

Li Yujing thought about it, but hadn't thought of what to do yet.

"Anyway, you have to listen to me in everything from now on, or I'll tell you about your stupidity at any time." Li Yujing snorted coldly.

"Well, listen to you." Xia Qi replied quickly.

Only then was Li Yujing satisfied: "Then these few days, you have to serve me by my side and be my servant."

"My appearance..." Xia Qi said.

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yujing said first: "I allow you to wear a mask."

"Okay." Xia Qi replied without hesitation.

"Then you come back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with me from now on, and I'll find you a mask to wear."

"it is good."

So Li Yujing really took Xia Qi back to the prime minister's mansion.

Li Yujing had all kinds of masks, and he deliberately picked one that looked more suitable for Xia Qi.

"Thank you, Young Master Li." Xia Qi took the mask and put it on.

Seeing Xia Qi's incomparably respectful attitude towards him, Li Yujing felt great satisfaction in his heart.

The other party is the prince, so it's really cool to listen to him.

What he didn't see was that when Xia Qi put on the mask, an elusive emotion flashed in his eyes. At this moment, he looked at Li Yujing as if he was looking at his prey.

When Li Yujing looked at him, this emotion quickly dissipated without a trace.

From that day on, Xu Qingjian found that Li Yujing didn't come to play with him very much, but there was a servant wearing a mask beside him.

Li Yujing likes to take him with him wherever he goes, and he has an extremely bad attitude towards him.

On this day, Li Yujing rarely came to see Xu Qingjian.

Xu Qingjian thought that Li Yujing came to him to practice archery, but who knew that Li Yujing brought him another bouquet of flowers for him.

"Are you practicing archery?" Xu Qingjian took the flowers and asked.

At the same time, he couldn't help but glanced at the masked man standing beside Li Yujing.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that this person's figure is very familiar, but he can't tell where he has seen it.

After all, the other party was wearing a mask, so Xu Qingjian looked away after only a couple of glances.

"I don't practice archery today, I have something to tell you." Li Yujing said to Xu Qingjian.

After so many days of delay, he finally mustered up the courage to come and tell Xu Qingjian that he likes him again.

"What?" Xu Qingjian was taken aback for a moment.

Li Yujing took a deep breath, and just as he was about to speak, Xia Qi spoke first.

He deliberately lowered his voice: "King Ning seemed to be looking for you just now, why don't you go and have a look?"

"Really?" Xu Qingjian was stunned for a moment.

With that said, he turned around and left immediately: "Then I'll go and have a look."

He walked so fast that Li Yujing had no time to stop him.

So he turned his anger on Xia Qi: "What are you doing?!"

"What do you want to tell him?" Xia Qi asked without answering.

"Is it related to you?" Li Yujing scolded angrily, "I'm going to tell you about you now!"

Li Yujing has used this sentence to threaten Xia Qi countless times in the past few days, but he has never actually done it, so this sentence has long since had no effect on him.

What's more, Xia Qi has never been afraid.

"Do you like Xu Qingjian?" Xia Qi asked calmly.

When this matter was mentioned all of a sudden, Li Yujing was stunned.

"You... how do you know?" Li Yujing asked in a daze.

In just a few days, has his mind been seen by an outsider?

It shouldn't.

Xia Qi still didn't answer Li Yujing's question, but continued: "He is my sister-in-law, so don't have any unreasonable thoughts about him."

"I'm going to your uncle's sister-in-law... sister-in-law?" Li Yujing's expression changed from anger to shock.

He opened his eyes quickly, looking at Xia Qi in shock like a cat.

Xia Qi looked at him calmly.

"Aren't you joking?" Li Yujing said.

"What did I lie to you for?"

Li Yujing was about to be pissed off by Xia Qi. This guy didn't seem to be able to answer other people's questions normally. He asked a question, and Xia Qi answered him.

"Then who is your brother?" Li Yujing asked after taking two deep breaths.

"What do you think?" Xia Qi threw another rhetorical question.

Li Yujing frowned and reviewed Xia Qi's relationship.

His mother and concubine seem to be Shen Xubai's aunt, so Shen Xubai is Xia Qi's cousin.

At this moment, Li Yujing was stunned.

"Prince Ning...is that your cousin?" Li Yujing asked in shock.

"Yeah." Xia Qi nodded.

It can be said that Li Yujing's complexion changed again and again. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak again.

"So can you stop harassing my sister-in-law? He and my brother are on good terms." Xia Qi said calmly.

Hearing Xia Qi's words, Li Yujing almost died of anger.

In this way, Xu Qingjian is already with Shen Xubai, and Nian Nian is also Shen Xubai's son!

Thinking about it, Li Yujing's eyes turned red with anger.

"Are you okay?" Xia Qi looked at Li Yujing and asked.

"Go away!" Li Yujing pushed Xia Qi away, turned around and left.

He was almost pissed off by Xia Qi now, and he didn't want to say a word to Xia Qi.

Xia Qi glanced at Li Yujing, and followed him silently.

"Don't follow me!" Li Yujing stopped and turned to stare at Xia Qi.
