In the evening, Qi Xiao accompanied Princess Dunsu to have dinner in Yuxiu Palace. She didn't say anything and stopped eating and putting tea on. Princess Dunsu took the golden-painted celadon tea cup presented by the palace servant, and slowly blew the tea leaves and whispered: "Have you seen the sword of Dongling today?"

Qi Xiao turned his face to look at Jiang Deqing. Jiang Deqing understood and stepped forward and bowed to say everything during the day. He actually repeated the words of the two. Princess Dunsu took the handkerchief and pressed the corner of her mouth for a while, saying, "Is he really cold in character, or is he willing to avoid your kindness?"

Qi Xiao put down the teacup and shook his head: "Can't you tell it, or do you have both?"

"It shouldn't be... Although he is young, he should understand these principles. He is a newcomer and needs someone to help him. You are the prince... you can't see through him..." Princess Dunsu frowned and lowered her voice, "Can he know that you are not the emperor's relative..."

"Auntie." Qi Xiao interrupted Princess Dunsu's words and said with a smile, "There is no airtight wall in the world. There are many people who know about the incident back then. The Lingnan Prince's Mansion is not a blind man and a deaf man, so it's not surprising that he knows it."

Princess Dunsu sighed softly: "This is what I am afraid of... If they know, it is hard to guarantee that they will not deliberately draw a clear line just because they are worried that you will not succeed in the future. I am afraid that Bai Ren already knows it. Naturally, he wants to back, but he is even more afraid of offending the emperor."

Qi Xiao chuckled: "Whatever, the meaning of my desire to get close to him today is very obvious. Now they are also discussing whether I want to help him depends on him... In fact, he has no choice. Except for me, which prince dares to make friends with him? If I ignore me, I will be so embarrassed. Besides... he just ignores me and will not delay me from marrying Princess Lingnan..."

"This is... I can't escape this matter if I walk around more. If the prince really intends to alienate him, that's fine. The princess of Lingnan is not only his sister. Princess Kangtai, who is a illegitimate princess, is also an excellent candidate. Haha... I just hope that he will not regret it in the future. I didn't become your brother-in-law at the beginning." Princess Dunsu is cautious and wants to do everything perfectly, so Qi Xiao first got angry with Bai Ren. Unexpectedly, he encountered a soft nail. Fortunately, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. Princess Dunsu looked at Qi Xiao and smiled lovingly, "It's not that his temperament is like this. To put it bluntly, as a proton, he mostly doesn't have a good temper."

Qi Xiao smiled and said nothing.

At the time of Xu, the harem was about to be settling. Qi Xiao was not convenient to sit for a long time. He came out with Princess Dunsu. In the evening, the moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and the breeze was whispering. Qi Xiao did not ride in a sedan chair, but walked slowly towards Haiyan Palace along the Qianli Lake. Jiang Deqing thought that Qi Xiao had a serious worries recently and did not want to go to bed early. He hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness...why would you let them retreat first, so I will accompany Your Highness to stroll here?"

Qi Xiao nodded, Jiang Deqing turned around and sent out all the palace servants, followed Qi Xiao around the water corridor. Qi Xiao didn't say anything for a long time, and suddenly said, "That hundred blades..."

Jiang Deqing didn't expect Qi Xiao to be thinking about this matter and smiled: "Your Highness, what about him? Didn't you say that no matter what the prince's attitude is, it will not delay your good things with Princess Lingnan."

Qi Xiao didn't think about the marriage with Lingnan at all, which made Jiang Deqing feel back to his senses. He shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, it's too late, it's late at night, let's go back first."

Jiang Deqing quickly agreed, carrying the lantern and asked Qi Xiao to be careful with his feet. He just looked at Qi Xiao. When he got off the bridge, he staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Qi Xiao held the person and never fell. He just dropped the lantern in the river. Jiang Deqing quickly knelt down and apologized: "I'm so dizzy, I'm so angry..."

"Forget it." Jiang Deqing was the eunuch who served Emperor Wu back then. He served Qi Xiao from childhood to adulthood. How could Qi Xiao seriously cause him? He waved his hand, "Stop making trouble for this vain ritual, I'm tired."

"Yes, yes." Jiang Deqing quickly got up, looked around and bowed, "Your Highness, wait a moment, I will go there to get a palace lantern..."

Qi Xiao waited impatiently and shook his head and said, "You can see such a big moon clearly, just leave like this..."

Jiang Deqing had just lost his manners and dared not disobey Qi Xiao's intentions anymore. He bowed and helped Qi Xiao get off the bridge. The two walked all the way to Haiyan Palace. When they passed by the bamboo forest, Qi Xiao paused. Jiang Deqing looked up and said in confusion: "Your Highness..."

"Shh..."

Qi Xiao's thin lips were slightly pursed, and through the rustling sound of bamboo leaves, he vaguely heard the sound of someone talking in the bamboo forest...

Qi Xiao has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his ears are better than ordinary people. He is much stronger than the older Jiang Deqing. Qi Xiao signaled Jiang Deqing to silence and slowly took two steps into the bamboo forest. If he heard it correctly, it was the sound of Baibian just now...

Bai Ren in the bamboo forest pulled a man's sleeve and lowered his voice, "It's okay... He probably just said a few words to me temporarily. He naturally knew what I am. OK, will I cause trouble for myself for nothing..."

"I heard from my father that the prince seems ordinary, but he is actually the most cunning person." The man who was pulled by Bairen turned his back to Qi Xiao, nodded slightly, and lowered his voice, "We can't afford to offend such people, so I'll hide in the future. I'll go out of the palace to see them tomorrow... Does the prince have anything to bring to the princess?"

Bairen's eyebrows became more and more beautiful by the silver light of the moon. He saw his eyes dim and he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No... I don't have to mention me to my mother again in the future. I'm now an abandoned son. I don't know if I will return to Lingnan in my lifetime. I'll mention me less, Mother's mother probably misses me less... In the long run, it would be best if Mother's mother could forget me..."

The man raised his voice a little, and he couldn't bear to say, "Don't be careless, the prince will always meet in the future. Only when the prince treats himself well can the princess feel at ease."

Bai Ren nodded tiredly: "Don't worry, I will treat myself well for my mother and sister... Chaoge, fortunately you still have..."

Qi Xiao frowned slightly. A month ago, he had looked through the list of people in Lingnan, Chaoge, Chaoge... Qi Xiao's heart moved, Cen Chaoge, the eldest son of Lingnan Wenxiang, and the companion of Dongling Bairen.

During the day, Cen Chaoge followed Bai Ren. Because he was half a head taller than Bai Ren and had a handsome face, Qi Xiao also had some impression, but he didn't expect that this companion was the secret whistle that Bai Ren was circulating from outside. Qi Xiao did not want to alarm the snake. When he was about to pull away, Bai Ren's voice was dumbfounded and whispered: "If there was no you again, I would really not be able to hold on..."

Qi Xiao suddenly turned his head and saw Cen Chaoge hugging Bai Ren in his arms under the night, lowered his head and comforting and kissing him on his forehead, and said softly: "Don't worry, you are too thoughtful, you are always tense with me on weekdays. How great is it to say it out loud like this..."

Bai Ren's eyes were slightly red, but he was very sad, and he turned his face to wipe away the tide in his eyes, and said hoarsely: "Go back... Those people will pursue me if they can't find them later..."

Cen Chaoge nodded, then leaned closer to Bai Ren's eyebrows and kissed him, turned to the west of the bamboo forest. Bai Ren was still standing in the direction where he was watching Cen Chaoge walk. It took him a long time to touch the place where Cen Chaoge had just kissed on his forehead, and turned to the Zhaode Hall to the east.

On the north side of the bamboo forest, Qi Xiao saw everything through the layers of bamboo leaves. Under the moonlight, Qi Xiao’s eyes were full of hostility, and there was a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth. He was cold? Because he became a proton, he was in a bad mood? Haha... He was very intimate with Cen Chaoge just now.

Jiang Deqing followed Qi Xiao and understood, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness... do you want to instruct the spies to touch the bottom?"
