"What kind of answer does your highness want to hear?"

>>>>>

Xiao Mingyui took a distance back to slightly away from Fang Laowang, then the dagger he had saved back he took out. Xiao Mingyui began to build a vigilance towards Fang Laowang.

Fang Laowang watched the dagger Xiao Mingyui was holding, then his lips smiled bitterly. Fang Laowang stood up, then raised both of his hands.

"I won't hurt you" Fang Laowang said with a serious look on his face, a bitter smile on his lips still faintly visible.

Xiao Mingyui was stunned, then slowly lowered his dagger. His eyes were still very cold, he still did not know what position Fang Laowang was holding. Enemy or friend.

"I won't divulge anything to Lord Fang," Fang Laowang said again, leaving Xiao Mingyui even more confused. He did not understand why the man did this.

"What's the reason?" xiao Mingyui asked briefly.

"If I tell you, will your majesty be by my side?" ask Fang Laowang back.

"Please! I'm the Crown Prince's fiancee." Xiao Mingyui was a little surprised by Fang Laowang's question, she did not expect the man to dare to say such a thing.

The look on Fang Laowang's face was sad, but his lips were smiling again despite being accompanied by bitterness. His eyes looked down. "I'm sorry."

"You haven't answered my question." Xiao Mingyui reminded Fang Laowang of his question.

Fang Laowang again raised his gaze, after which both of his palms silently clenched. "I love you."

The two corners of Xiao Mingyui's brows intertwined, the next he quickly stored back his dagger. Both of Xiao Mingyui's cold eyes stared at Fang Laowang intensely with a brief head-draping. "Save your bullshit. I'm not-"

"I'm not kidding. That's not bullshit. You want to hear the answer, right? Then, there he is. Me, love you." Fang Laowang cut out Xiao Mingyui's sentence.

"I'm not someone you can love, Fang Laowang. I am the future wife of the heir to the throne. It would be absurd for you to dare to utter such a sentence." Xiao Mingyui tried to resuscitate Fang Laowang. The punishment for a man who loves the wife of an Emperor or Crown Prince is a grave mistake. The man could be sentenced to death.

"really. But you're not officially married yet, can't you be"

"Fang Laowang's. Don't make me hate you." Xiao Mingyui cut the sentence Fang Laowang was about to make. Seeing that the man was still silent, he finally continued, "Even if I were not the future Crown Princess, you would never be able to love me, nor vice versa."

"Where's the problem?" fang Laowang asked, his forehead starting to fold thinly. There was a silhouette of sadness in his gaze.

Xiao Mingyui took a slight breath, then asked, "If I answer now willing to live with you, what will you do?"

"If you are willing to be patient, I promise to solve this problem. Allow me to finish-"

"If the problem is over, who will fall? Xiao Wangfu's? Fang Fu's? Are you willing for Fang Fu to lose?" Again Xiao Mingyui cut Fang Laowang's sentence sharply, she could not accept Fang Laowang's expression of love.

Fang Laowang was silent. He had indeed not thought far as to what the outcome of the thing he wanted to 'get done' was'.

Fang Laowang clenched his hands tighter and tighter. When Xiao Mingyui suddenly darted away and left him alone at the edge of the Capital Forest, his soul felt an overwhelming loneliness.

The reason Fang Laowang came here was because he had received a report from his father's spy who worked at Xiao Wangfu. The spy wrote a message that Xiao Xiangqing and several other residents of Xiao Wangfu showed unusual movements. Before the report of the Letter fell into his father's hands, Fang Laowang chose to save it first and rushed to the edge of the Capital Forest. He felt that this was the place that Xiao Wangfu's side would go to. He had been trying to fight back secretly, but when he saw Xiao Wangfu's side coming it turned out to be Xiao Mingyui directly, on a sudden impulse, he changed his plan.

Meanwhile Xiao Mingyui, he had returned to Xiao Wangfu. The woman entered through the secret passage that Gu Lingchi had crossed to come here.

As soon as Xiao Mingyui entered his room, Bingbing rushed in, as did Xiao Xiangqing who rushed back to Xiao Mingyui's room.

"Your majesty, are you soaking wet?" bingbing asked, then she quickly searched for a dry clean cloth for Xiao Mingyui.

Xiao Mingyui picked up the cloth, then began to wipe her completely wet face and hair.

Before long Xiao Xiangqing came, the man was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Mingyui's condition.

"Is there anything that could have happened?" xiao Xiangqing asked in astonishment.

Xiao Mingyui shook his head briefly. "none. I just accidentally slipped through the lakeside forest of the Capital."

Xiao Xiangqing chuckled, then stuck out his right palm towards Xiao Mingyui. "That's it. So where's the letter?"

Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly, then lowered her own head. "It's in my memory."

Xiao Xiangqing was confused. "Where is the original letter?" Then he squinted his eyes at Xiao Mingyui and continued, "Is there really nothing going on?"

Xiao Mingyui frowned. "Yes, why don't you trust me? The letter vanished because it was wet, lucky before it was completely destroyed I read it quickly."

"Then what is it, your honor?" gu Lingchi asked curiously, meanwhile Bingbing walked out to prepare some warm water.

Xiao Mingyui dropped the towel on the floor. Untying his hair, he replied, "Southeast Huan Kingdom is about to make Xie Wanting their spy. It seemed like the intention of Southeast Huan to send an envoy of a Princess to be the Crown Prince's concubine as well as a spy." Then Xiao Mingyui's eyes turned more serious than before, then looked at her sister more intensely and said,"We don't know what kind of plan Princess Xie Wanting will use to make a fuss in the Capital."

"Then what are we going to do?" gu Lingchi asked, he looked agitated. My fidgety face look was similar to his mother's Baili Ruyi.

"Preventing Xie Wanting from becoming the Emperor's concubine and keeping her in the Capital for a longer time. If Princess Xie Wanting returned early, the Southeast Huan Kingdom would most likely send a marriage proposal letter to the Emperor for the Crown Prince on the grounds that the two had met and were compatible, then bring 'relations between two countries'." Xiao Xiangqing started to give solutions as well as opinions, the man also looked serious.

Xiao Mingyui nodded in agreement. "As long as the woman stays here, try to close land, sea and air access. Make sure the archer soldiers are monitoring the sky properly. Shoot any bird suspected of carrying a letter."

"But for what reason? We can't just shut down access, can we?" gu Lingchi asked, his forehead folded.

"Deceased Emperor," Xiao Mingyui replied, then shifted her gaze towards Xiao Xiangqing. "Talk about this in private to the Emperor and Crown Prince. They'll definitely agree."

"What ... are we going to wipe out the Southeast Huan Kingdom and Fang Fu?" gu Lingchi asked carefully.

Xiao Mingyui and Xiao Xiangqing turned their heads towards Gu Lingchi first, then the two of them turned to look at each other. Compactly, both nodded.
