Chapter 538: Decided to Face It

With Chu Xingyue disappearing without a trace, Zhao Ling's face became more and more ugly with the passage of time.

These days, almost all the people who served him were so frightened that they didn't even dare to take a big breath, for fear that if they got in the way of the eyes of this master who was in a bad mood, they would become the next person who would end badly.

Yunxiao came back the day after the fire in King Ling's Mansion, but what he didn't expect was that he had only been away for a day, and the palace had undergone earth-shaking changes; Niangniang is gone, Chunxing is gone, even Xiao Ruiyuan is gone; To be exact, all the people who were valued by Niangniang in her heart disappeared with Niangniang's departure, leaving only His Royal Highness the Prince, guarding in King Ling's mansion, digging three feet into the ground as if she was crazy, looking for her whereabouts.

On this day, Ling Wang's Mansion was still immersed in the depressed low pressure, but at the gate of the palace, but slowly stopped a canopy treasure car, after seeing who the man sitting on horseback on the side of the carriage was, the guards guarding the door of Ling Wang's Mansion immediately met him smartly, and sent a porter to hurry into the house to inform.

You know, this man who came suddenly is likely to become their savior.

People in the capital who don't know that His Royal Highness the Prince's favorite brother is the Seventh Prince, King Xi, such a big thing happened in the Ling Palace, the people in the palace were panicked, and many people wondered why King Xi did not appear late after such a big thing happened to His Royal Highness the Prince; Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and after a thousand calls, King Xi finally came; Now, King Xi is shouldering the hopes of everyone in the palace, hoping that he can appease His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has been getting more and more irritable recently, and even more hope that he can find a way to find the disappeared crown princess.

Zhao Xi got off the horse in a dashing manner, followed to the carriage, and stretched out his hand to help the people who got off the carriage.

Looking at the woman in the pink skirt who came out of the carriage, everyone present looked at their noses and noses, and their hearts were clear.

The news that King Xi is going to marry Miss Luofu Erfang has long spread in the capital, and this marriage still has to be decreed by the Son of Heaven himself, at this time, Miss Luo will come to Lingwangfu with His Royal Highness King Xi, although it is surprising, but there is nothing wrong; After all, she is a woman who will become the royal daughter-in-law, and King Xi is friendly with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so it is understandable to bring his beloved woman to meet his brother.

Zhao Xi and Luo Qing naturally didn't know what others were thinking at this time, but the two of them secretly took a breath for what was going to happen next.

Although Luo Qing is a woman, her heart and knowledge are much higher than ordinary women, so even if she is nervous, she does not show it on her face; Instead, with a gentle smile, he looked at Zhao Xi who was holding her hand, and said softly: "Lord Wang, it'll be fine, let's go in." ”

Zhao Xi looked at the shallow and soft smile on Luo Qing's face, and his originally tense mood seemed to be affected by this smile, and he gradually relaxed a lot; After nodding lightly at Luo Qing, he took her hand and walked towards the palace.

As soon as he stepped into the palace, Zhao Xi obviously felt that the atmosphere of the palace was very different from the past, although the usual Ling Wangfu was also dignified and dignified, no one dared to make a mistake at will, but the minions who went back and forth would not show such a sad look on their faces, and it seemed that the rumors that had quietly circulated in the capital in recent days were not groundless; The third brother was in a really bad mood, and the entire palace was under the influence of his mood, everyone was as quiet as a cicada, and everyone was flustered.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xi's self-blame in his heart deepened a little, blaming him, if it weren't for him, the third brother would not have become like this, let alone involve innocent people.

Luo Qing was also holding Zhao Xi's hand tightly, feeling the coldness of his fingertips, he raised his head to look at him, and said, "Lord Wang, no matter how much regret there is now, it will not help, we are here today, first, to visit the prince, and second, to make amends; The way you look now, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sees it, he won't like it. ”

Listening to Luo Qing's words, Zhao Xi nodded lightly, he knew that his current appearance was indeed making people angry when he saw it, and if the third brother saw it, he would be even more unhappy; He also hopes that he can bear everything, and longs for the opportunity to give himself the opportunity to atone for the mistakes he has committed.

Seeing that the look of chagrin between Zhao Xi's eyebrows and eyes disappeared a little, Luo Qing smiled with satisfaction: "This is the prince that Qing'er knows, prince, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry later, even if you admit your mistake, let Qing'er handle the rest." ”

Luo Qing's words attracted Zhao Xi's attention, what did she want to do?

Facing Zhao Xi's puzzled eyebrows, Luo Qing smiled more gently: "Don't worry, Qing'er knows how to take care of the proportions, and she won't cause trouble to the prince." ”

The two of them talked while walking, and soon came to the study where Zhao Ling was.

Outside the study, Yunxiao was guarding the door, and when he saw King Xi coming to visit His Royal Highness with his fiancΓ©e, he walked up quickly, clasped his fists and saluted: "My subordinates ask the prince for peace." ”

After speaking, he politely nodded to Luo Qing and said hello; Luo Qing is everyone's best girl, and when she sees the celebrity next to the prince, she will naturally be polite, and she will be slightly blessed, which can be regarded as a hello.

Zhao Xi glanced at the study with the door closed worriedly, and asked Yunxiao, "How is the third brother?" Are you in a bad mood? ”

Facing Zhao Xi, Yunxiao had nothing to hide, and said honestly: "Since Niangniang left, His Royal Highness has never laughed, and he has not even said much; Lord, you can guess one or two if you look at the current situation in the palace, and the subordinates want to share the worries for His Highness, but the inside and outside of the capital have been rummaged by our people and the people of Gyeonggi Wei, and they still haven't found Niangniang; also sent a secret guard, looking all the way to Qingzhou in the direction of the capital, hoping to find Niangniang through this clue. ”

After conveying his father's meaning to the third sister-in-law, Zhao Xi thought that the third sister-in-law might be estranged from the third brother because of his words, and there would be a rift in the relationship, but what he didn't expect was that the third sister-in-law would really be so resolute, and she really left the third brother behind and left with her own people.

To put it mildly, is the third sister-in-law really willing to give up the third brother? Could it be that in the heart of the third sister-in-law, the third brother is nothing more than this to her?

Zhao Xi naturally didn't dare to mention these words to Zhao Ling, and saying such things to the third brother at this time was undoubtedly looking for death; He also warned himself again and again in his heart that if he saw the third brother, he must not say such words to stimulate the third brother.

It's just that when he heard the news that Yunxiao said that the third brother was not doing well at all, Zhao Xi was extremely heartbroken, and the third brother felt even more worthless; Is it really worth torturing yourself so much for such a woman?

Luo Qing naturally didn't know what Zhao Xi was thinking at this time, after she heard Yunxiao's report, she immediately made some calculations in her heart, and then took the initiative to speak, and said: "Then trouble Yun Gongzi to go in and report it, just say that King Xi and I came to see him, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to allow us to meet." ”

Before Yunxiao could speak, he heard Zhao Ling's familiar voice from the study: "Yunxiao, let them in." ”

Zhao Ling is a person who practices martial arts, and his ear power is naturally extraordinary; The moment Zhao Xi and Luo Qing appeared in the study, he heard their voices; In fact, he was reluctant to meet them at this time, but when he thought that the person who came to visit him was his brother, he still forced down the gloom and impetuousness in his heart and took the initiative to invite them in to meet.

When Yunxiao heard Zhao Ling's voice, he immediately responded, and then looked at Zhao Xi and said, "Lord Wang, you also heard it, Your Highness invites you in." ”

Zhao Xi grabbed Luo Qing's soft hair in his hand, and then after taking a deep breath, he led Luo Qing and strode towards the study.

Zhao Ling's study, both the ornaments and the light in it are very good, but recently, his mood has changed a lot, and his personality has become a lot more gloomy, even during the day, he likes to pull up the thick bed curtains; Therefore, the moment Zhao Xi took Luo Qing's hand and walked into the study, he noticed the dimness of the light in the room, but fortunately, he could still see people clearly, so it didn't make people panic.

Zhao Xi looked at the third brother who was sitting behind the desk and was quite depressed, his heart ached, and he was about to stride forward, but was gently pulled by Luo Qing.

Luo Qing stopped Zhao Xi's movements, walked in front of Zhao Xi generously, and saluted the prince sitting behind the desk: "The courtiers see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Zhao Ling's impression of Luo Qing is relatively shallow, he only knows that she is the girl in the second room of the Luo family, the unmarried wife that his seventh brother likes, and the woman that Yue'er has praised several times; Therefore, looking at Luo Qing who was saluting, Zhao Ling was not stingy with his kindness.

"No need to be polite, get up." Zhao Ling said while lightly sweeping around Luo Qing's face, Luo Qing's appearance is only a little similar to Luo Yao, if he had seen Luo Qing before, Zhao Xi might have lost his mind for a while, after all, Luo Yao had been put in his heart by him, and he owed too much to that girl.

However, since the moment he knew that the person he really loved was Chu Xingyue, Zhao Ling had locked Luo Yao's figure in the deepest part of his heart, even if he saw a cousin who was a little similar to Luo Yao, there would not be too many ripples in his heart; Instead, he turned his eyes and looked at Zhao Xi, who was standing far away and hanging his head.

"Old Seven, why do you look like this? Are you still being bullied? ”

It's no wonder that Zhao Ling misunderstood, it's just that the current Zhao Xi doesn't even have the courage to raise his head and face his brother, and the whole person is wilted, isn't it like being bullied.

When Zhao Xi heard Zhao Ling's words, he quickly shook his head and said, "Without the third brother, with my current identity, who would dare to bully me; I just heard that something happened in the third brother's mansion, so I wanted to come and see you; Third brother, is there anything I can help with? The third brother just commands, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I am willing to go. ”
