Faced with Princess Ling La's rhetorical question, Xiao Zheng's smile widened. With a playful look in his eyes, he joked, "The prince in my heart is not so unrestrained."
Princess Ling La said calmly, "In your heart, what kind of woman am I?"
"Wisdom. Powerful. Cold. "Xiao Zheng said three adjectives in a row.
"So?" Princess Ling La continued to ask. "I can't have anything else besides a power-hungry woman?"
Xiao Zheng shook his head, "At least for the time being, it is not necessary."
Princess Ling La smiled.
She smiled calmly, and a little relieved.
She pulled the silk blanket and slowly walked down from the bed. Her slender and straight thighs swayed in front of him. But Xiao Zheng couldn't help but look away.
Princess Ling La picked up a glass of water on the table and drank it in one breath. Then she turned around, stared at Xiao Zheng and said, "Mr. Xiao. Hua Xia has a famous saying, 'Enjoy life to the fullest.' 'Don't let the wine cup be empty to the moon.' "Really?"
"There is such a saying." Xiao Zheng nodded.
"That's right." Princess Ling La Smiled and nodded. She covered the silk blanket on her chest with one hand. There was no extra emotion on her beautiful face. She said. "Tonight, Mr. Xiao, can you accompany me to the appointment?"
"To whom?" Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed with a strange look. He had guessed it. But he was not sure.
"Of course, it is Crown Prince Tian Xiong," Princess Ling La said slowly.
"He had a falling out with you during the day and invited you to the appointment at night?" Xiao Zheng frowned. "What does he want?"
"You will know when you go there." Princess Ling La narrowed her eyes slightly. She said word by word. "Unless Mr. Xiao is afraid to go?"
Xiao Zheng laughed, "I dare."
Princess Ling La was back.
The shrewd Princess Ling La had finally returned. He did not know if his persuasion was effective, or if Princess Ling La did not take this matter to heart. In any case, seeing that Princess Ling La had recovered, Xiao Zheng felt a little more at ease.
"What time?" asked Xiao Zheng.
"Nine o 'clock at night." Princess Ling La smiled. "Mr Xiao, you should eat dinner first and rest for a while. Otherwise, it will be difficult to move around. "
When Xiao Zheng heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
This was a hint from Princess Ling La …
Perhaps something big would happen tonight?
Was it Princess Ling La's falling out with him in public that hastened Tian Xiong's footsteps?
In any case, Princess Ling La's side seemed to have given up on resisting. Wouldn't Tian Xiong take advantage of this critical moment to defeat Princess Ling La once and for all?
Xiao Zheng nodded lightly, said no more, and left the room.
At this time, he had no time to think about Princess Ling La's feelings. All Xiao Zheng's energy was focused on tonight's appointment.
Was this appointment a Feast at Hongmen? Would Crown Prince Tianxiong try to kill him at the dining table?
It was not impossible!
The news of the falling out with him in the day spread inside and outside the palace. At night, Tian Xiong took the initiative to invite Tian Xiong. Everyone could guess that Crown Prince Tian Xiong would not let it go. And at this sensitive time, even if Princess Ling La died tragically in Tian Xiong's mansion, he could completely shirk the blame and emphasize that Princess Ling La was not satisfied with the arrangement of the royal family. A fight at the dinner table.
Back in the room, Xiao Zheng tried to analyze all the possibilities. But his heart could not calm down for a long time.
Why did Crown Prince Tian Xiong invite?
Why did Princess Ling La agree?
What other tricks did Crown Prince Tian Xiong have? Could a master alone defeat Xiao Zheng and Princess Ling La?
One to one, Crown Prince Tian Xiong's confidence was understandable. One to two — it was not easy, right?
On the contrary, what preparation did Princess Ling La have for such a decision?
Was she really going to kill at the dinner table?
How could she explain to the royal family?
No matter how Crown Prince Tian Xiong explained, people would believe it. After all, he was the legitimate heir. And what about Princess Ling La?
She killed Crown Prince Tian Xiong, which was a rebellion!
Shaking his head, he could not guess what Princess Ling La had prepared. In fact, from the beginning, Princess Ling La seemed to be hiding something from him and did not tell the truth.
"I'll deal with it as it comes …" Xiao Zheng rubbed his eyebrows, opened the window, and lit a cigarette with a serious look.
The cigarette was burning, but Xiao Zheng did not smoke much. He just looked out of the window with a complicated look.
The appointment was at nine o 'clock. Could he do something before the night fell and the appointment time was not up?
After all, the territory belonged to Crown Prince Tian Xiong.
There was another master to hold the line. Even if Xiao Zheng and Princess Ling La joined forces, they might not be able to gain the upper hand. And there were too many variables. Xiao Zheng was worried that once they were trapped, they might not have a chance to get out.
Not afraid to speculate the future with the greatest evil was Xiao Zheng's pessimistic mentality for many years. But it saved him many times.
"Mr. Xiao, dinner is ready." Yingxiang's voice came from outside the door.
Unknowingly, it was dinner time again.
Xiao Zheng shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. These few days in Princess Ling La's mansion, he really became a pig that slept after eating.
He pushed the door and walked out of the room. Xiao was sitting on the dining table, but he didn't see Princess Ling Lai.
"Where's His Highness?" Xiao Zheng asked with a Smile.
Yingxiang replied respectfully, "His Highness went out to do some work. He said that he wanted to make some preparations for tonight's appointment. "Ying Xiang paused for a moment before continuing. After a pause, Yingxiang continued, "Sir. Before His Highness left, he instructed me to let you have a good meal and rest while waiting for news from His Highness. "
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng nodded lightly, "I understand. Come and eat with us. "
Yingxiang did not refuse. She just sat down cautiously.
Ever since Xiao Zheng talked to His Highness in the afternoon, His Highness's condition had improved a lot. His mood had also returned to normal. Before leaving, he still had a faint smile on his face. This made Yingxiang feel very grateful towards Xiao Zheng.
On the other hand, Xiao Zheng was thinking that Princess Ling La had probably gone to contact various forces, especially Prince Miyamoto. Especially Prince Miyamoto. Tonight — would he appear?
Would he join forces with Princess Ling La?
Perhaps this internal strife in the palace would come to an end tonight, and the victor would be decided.
After dinner. Xiao Zheng drank tea and rested in the living room. Occasionally, he would chat with Yingxiang to pass the time.
Seven o 'clock.
Eight o 'clock.
When it was 8: 30, Princess Ling La had yet to appear.
"What's going on?" Xiao Zheng frowned slightly. "The appointment is at nine o 'clock. Why isn't His Highness back yet? "
Yingxiang was also curious, "That's right. His Highness also said that he would be there at nine o 'clock. He also told me to remind Mister to prepare — "
Xiao Zheng stood up abruptly, his expression changed!
Why did Princess Ling La tell Yingxiang about the time? To remind him to prepare? There was no need for that!
This was an important matter, how could he forget about the time? Moreover, if it was really at nine o 'clock, why didn't Princess Ling La show up at 8: 30?
Why did she tell everyone that the appointment was at nine o 'clock?
Unless she was using Xiao Zheng and Yingxiang to paralyze each other! To make them feel that there was no problem with the time!
Unless — the appointment was not at nine o 'clock, but earlier!
Xiao Zheng was burning with anxiety. Just as he reached the door, he was stopped by two young men in suits. "Mister, His Highness will be back soon. Please wait for a moment. "
"Get lost!"
Xiao Zheng stretched out his hand and knocked the two men unconscious.
His heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley!
