Due to the confidentiality of this visit. Prince Ling Lai was only equipped with three security personnel. Other than Mitsui Hyakuchi, there were two other young men in suits. Obviously, these two people were the most trusted subordinates of Prince Ling Lai. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to protect Ling Lai.
Of course, Xiao Zheng believed that Princess Ling La must have arranged for experts to accompany her secretly. They just hadn't shown up yet.
The room was personally chosen by Minister Gong. To ensure Princess Ling La's safety, the entire floor was cleared. Only the Long Formation Warriors' room was left.
"It's so quiet," Princess Ling La said softly in the corridor. "Minister Gong's security measures are really good."
"You are a VIP. Of course, we have to protect you. "Xiao Zheng smiled as he pushed the wheelchair. "For your visit, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Long Formation Warriors worked together to develop a security system. The purpose is to ensure that your visit goes smoothly. "
Princess Ling La's lips curled up slightly, but she didn't say anything.
After entering the suite that was carefully prepared for Princess Ling La, the Long Formation Warriors retreated. Some patrolled the corridor, and some went to their designated rooms to rest. They worked in shifts. Mitsui Baiji wanted to accompany Princess Ling La back to her room, but he was stopped by the mysterious Prince.
"I'll be fine with Mr. Xiao accompanying me," Princess Ling Lai waved her hand gently and said. "Mitsui, you should rest too."
"Yes, Your Highness." Your Highness. "Mitsui bowed and left the room.
Click.
The door closed, and Xiao Zheng pushed the wheelchair to the living room. He brewed a pot of tea for Princess Ling La, and then walked over with the hot tea. "Prince, you must be tired. Have some tea to moisten your throat. "
"Thank you," Princess Ling La said with a smile. "Mr. Xiao, please take a seat."
"You don't have to sit?" Xiao Zheng tried to be polite before resorting to force. He had done what he should do and what he shouldn't do. At this time, he should go home to wash up and sleep.
When Princess Ling La heard this, a hint of sadness flashed across her face. "Does Mr Xiao dislike me so much?"
As she spoke, she gently stroked her thigh.
Yes.
She had been paralyzed for years.
But because of the long-term high-intensity repair. Her leg muscles did not suffer much damage. It could be said that other than being unable to support her walking, whether it was the shape of her legs, the length, or even the smoothness, they were not inferior to that of a young girl.
"Your Highness, you're exaggerating." Xiao Zheng smiled and explained. "You are of noble status. I'm just a merchant. It's getting late, and if I stay in your room for too long, I'll inevitably attract gossip. "
"What gossip?" Princess Ling La's lips curled into a bitter smile. "I don't even have the ability to stand up. Could it be that someone would suspect me of having an affair with Mr. Xiao? "
"— —"
With Princess Ling La's noble status, there was no reason for her to say such serious words in front of Xiao Zheng. There was only one reason for this. She did not communicate with Xiao Zheng as the Prince of the Inner Palace. She merely used the identity of an ordinary woman to make a rather self-deprecating joke with Xiao Zheng.
Of course, it was more or less to gain sympathy.
She was in the prime of her life, but in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. And she was an extraordinary woman with brains and EQ. To be able to reach this day with such a disadvantage, and only one step away from the throne.
Be it public or private, Xiao Zheng admired Princess Ling La. Of course, he was also very afraid.
A woman who could even kill her own mother. From the beginning, Xiao Zheng had made up his mind not to get too close to her.
It was too dangerous …
Therefore, although he promised Department Head Gong, he would also try to keep a distance from Princess Ling La.
"Your Royal Highness." Xiao Zheng avoided Princess Ling La's slightly weak eyes and slowly sat on the sofa. "Can I borrow you a cup of tea?"
"Of course." Princess Ling La wheeled her wheelchair and slowly came to the coffee table. "I'll pour you tea."
Although she could not stand up, she could use her upper body at will. She could still do errands like pouring tea and pouring water.
"Thank you." Xiao Zheng hurriedly took the tea from Princess Ling La and took a sip.
Seeing that she had asked Xiao Zheng to stay, Princess Ling La also took a sip and said softly, "Mr. Xiao, I've called you more than ten times recently. But you haven't picked up even once. Is it because you've given up on our friendship? "
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng hypocritically explained, "If Princess Ling La has heard about it, you should know that I've been busy recently."
"Yes. I heard about it. "Princess Ling La nodded and said. "Mr. Xiao is the same as me. We're at the most difficult moment of our lives."
Even when the topic was about Xiao Zheng, Princess Ling La subtly shifted the topic to herself. Her conversational skills were so brilliant that Xiao Zheng could not guard against it.
However, Xiao Zheng was thick-skinned. He smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness. If I lose, I'll have nothing. "
"No." Princess Ling La gently shook her head and said. "First of all, I don't think Chang Yishan has the ability to defeat you. Secondly, he's lost his momentum. Everything he's doing now is just a deathbed struggle. "
"Deathbed struggle?" The corner of Xiao Zheng's eyes twitched as he said meaningfully. "How about, Your Royal Highness, you help me eliminate Chang Yishan? After it's done, no matter what you need, I'll do my best to satisfy you. "
Princess Ling La smiled and said, "I've long heard that Mr. Xiao doesn't want to borrow anyone's hand. He wants to rely on his own ability to defeat Chang Yishan."
This excuse was simply too shocking.
Xiao Zheng put down the teacup and said, "I'm saying this because no one will help me deal with Chang Yishan. If someone is willing to help me, I won't refuse. After all, it's also a manifestation of ability. "
"Just like — who would help a beggar become a billionaire?"
This was the root of the problem!
Did Lin Chaotian have the ability to help Xiao Zheng? Yes! As long as he made a move, Chang Yishan would definitely be defeated!
But what right did he have to help Xiao Zheng?
Did Shang Jingtian have the ability to help Xiao Zheng? Yes!
But he had already shown his firm attitude in the last confrontation — Xiao Zheng couldn't be left alive!
Even big shots like Lu Dashan and Jin Shuheng wouldn't break the rules and help Xiao Zheng. Of course, even if they were willing to help, the price would be too high!
Some people wouldn't help Xiao Zheng at all. And some big shots who were friends with Xiao Zheng — they wouldn't pay such a high price to help Xiao Zheng.
In short. Why?
Without enough benefits, who would be willing to hurt themselves? In this world, who owes whom?
Facing the impenetrable defense of Xiao Zheng, Princess Ling La said slowly, "Mr. Xiao, do you want to know who is discrediting Hua Xia's army? Do you want to know who almost ruined your reputation? "
