Inside the carriage.
Xu Jin's gaze landed on Su Changyu.
It wasn't that he harbored ill intentions, but it was an inexplicable hostility between rivals in love.
However, Xu Jin was not a fool. The person who could sit in Princess Xu Yang's carriage was obviously not an ordinary person.
If he were to pick on Su Changyu, Princess Xu Yang would definitely think that there was something wrong with him.
At that time, it would definitely be a bad thing to leave a bad impression.
At the thought of this, Xu Jin immediately looked away and smiled at Su Changyu.
"Fellow Daoist, you are?"
He looked at Su Changyu and asked with curiosity in his eyes.
Inside the carriage.
Su Changyu sat quietly. As soon as Xu Jin came up, he stared at him with a peculiar gaze and he could tell at a glance that he wasn't a good person.
Thinking of this, Su Changyu did not answer, nor did he want to answer.
For a moment, there was a slight awkwardness in the carriage.
Fortunately, Princess Xu Yang immediately spoke.
"This is Su Changyu, Senior Su. This time, I encountered some trouble and Senior Su saved me."
Princess Xu Yang said, alleviating Xu Jin's awkwardness.
Hearing his words, Xu Jin froze for a moment. He wasn't angry at Su Changyu's silence at all. Instead, he looked at Princess Xu Yang anxiously.
"Princess, are you in danger?"
"What happened?"
"Who dares to attack you?"
"Are you tired of living? Princess, I will now mobilize the army to avenge you. "
"Are you hurt? Were you frightened? "
Xu Jin looked at Princess Xu Yang with great concern and fury in his eyes. He wished he could kill those beasts now.
Seeing the look on Xu Jin's face, Li Changqing, who was at the side, couldn't help but take a sip of wine and curse indifferently in his heart.
On the other hand, Princess Xu Yang was also a little depressed. She hated people like Xu Jin the most. He was overly concerned and annoying.
However, he was the son of the Marquis after all and was considered one of the most honorable people in the Great Qian Dynasty. Besides, he was concerned about her, so Princess Xu Yang could only accept it silently.
"It's not a big deal. I still have to thank Senior Su."
Princess Xu Yang replied.
"Nothing big? That's good, that's good. You scared me to death. "
"Thank you for your help, Senior Su. You saved the princess, which is equivalent to saving me. I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, you can look for me, Xu Jin."
Xu Jin said. However, he was still a little displeased with Su Changyu. Perhaps, it was because Su Changyu was handsome, or perhaps, he could vaguely sense that there was an unspeakable secret between Su Changyu and Princess Xu Yang.
However, Xu Jin still had to say those polite words. Otherwise, he would leave a bad impression on Princess Xu Yang.
Su Changyu naturally wouldn't take Xu Jin's polite words seriously.
Moreover, he was from Great Xia and didn't reside in Great Qian. What could he possibly encounter?
What he had to do now was to quickly leave Great Qian and return to Great Xia. That was the most important thing.
He still had to find Taishang Xuanji and have a showdown with him.
Hence, Su Changyu remained silent.
Seeing that Su Changyu still did not answer him, Xu Jin felt a little awkward again.
It was impossible for him not to be angry, but Xu Jin understood very well that Su Changyu was Princess Xu Yang's savior and hence, there was nothing he could say.
After thinking about it, Xu Jin couldn't help but point the finger at Li Changqing.
"Fellow Daoist Changqing, the princess was in danger and you actually didn't protect her well. How should you be punished?"
Xu Jin looked at Li Changqing who was watching the show at the side and reprimanded him.
As soon as he said that, Li Changqing was a little dumbfounded.
You can say whatever you want, but why are you talking about me again?
'You don't think I'm a pushover, do you? '
Li Changqing looked at Xu Jin and couldn't help but speak coldly.
"The princess didn't blame me, what right do you have to blame me? Xu Jin, you're just the son of a marquis, not a marquis of the Great Qian Dynasty yet. "
Li Changqing said with some displeasure.
Although he wasn't the son of a marquis, his father was a minister of the imperial court and he didn't have to give Xu Jin any face.
As Li Changqing said that, Xu Jin was suddenly a little speechless.
He couldn't afford to offend him and hence, he felt even more awkward.
"Okay, at the end of the day, it's just a trivial matter. There's no need to get serious. Besides, I'm fine after all."
"Little Marquis, please take a seat."
Seeing how awkward the situation was, Princess Xu Yang immediately spoke up and offered the other party a seat.
Since Princess Xu Yang spoke, Xu Jin didn't say much and immediately sat down beside Li Changqing.
After taking a seat.
Before Princess Xu Yang could continue speaking, Xu Jin soon spoke again.
"Princess, this Senior Su seems to be wearing the royal clothes of the Great Xia Dynasty. Is he a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Xu Jin asked as he looked at Su Changyu curiously.
"This …"
However, at the mention of this, Princess Xu Yang was at a loss for words.
Due to the brief exchange, Princess Xu Yang only knew Su Changyu's identity, but she didn't know if he was a member of the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Seeing that Princess Xu Yang's reply was a little hesitant.
Xu Jin couldn't help but frown.
"Princess, don't tell me you don't even know where your savior came from?"
Xu Jin seemed a little surprised, but he soon looked at Su Changyu again.
"Senior Su, may I ask if you are from the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Xu Jin looked at Su Changyu and asked.
Hearing Xu Jin's voice, Su Changyu indeed found it strange. After all, normally speaking, he wouldn't continue to be rebuffed after repeatedly ignoring him.
'Why does Xu Jin have to continue asking? '
'Does he like to ask questions that much? '
'Are you lusting after my beauty? '
Su Changyu somehow felt that it was a little strange, but he didn't know how to put it into words.
He initially didn't want to answer, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would indeed be a little unfriendly if he didn't answer the question after being asked three times in a row.
After all, he was still in the Great Qian Dynasty.
After thinking about it, Su Changyu decided to answer him, lest it would be too awkward.
At the thought of this, Su Changyu couldn't help but speak.
"No."
Those two simple words made him look more like an expert.
However, after hearing those words, Xu Jin's eyes were somewhat disappointed while Princess Xu Yang seemed to be glad. On the other hand, Li Changqing seemed extremely calm.
"No? Then why are you wearing royal clothes? "
Xu Jin continued to ask while pouring a glass of wine for himself.
However, after hearing those words, Su Changyu couldn't help but look at Xu Jin with a calm gaze. However, his calm gaze somehow made Xu Jin feel a little guilty.
"Is it that important whether I'm a royal of the Great Xia Dynasty or not?"
Su Changyu's words made him very curious.
'Why do you keep asking me if I'm a royal of the Great Xia Dynasty? '
'So what if I am? '
'So what if I'm not? '
'Why do you have so much to say? '
Su Changyu was a little frustrated. He didn't want to talk now, nor did he want to answer other people's questions.
Firstly, he felt that it was meaningless, and secondly, he was afraid that he would act up again and say something wrong.
Hence, it was better to speak as little as possible.
However, after Su Changyu answered, Li Changqing spoke up before Xu Jin could say anything.
"If you're really a royal of the Great Xia Dynasty, it would indeed be a little troublesome. Hence, this question is indeed more important."
Li Changqing took a sip of wine and answered.
Su Changyu was a little surprised.
However, although he was surprised, he still looked calm and composed as he looked at Li Changqing.
Li Changqing didn't keep him in suspense and simply spoke up.
"The relationship between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Great Qian Dynasty has been very tense in the past two decades, especially between the royals. The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty hates the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty to the core, and the two nations almost went to war. Senior Su, do you think it's important?"
His tone was calm, but the contents of his words made Su Changyu a little shocked.
'Almost went to war? '
'They're talking about two major dynasties. Usually, when some small countries go to war, the casualties would be in the millions. If the two dynasties were to go to war, the sky would collapse. '
Hence, Su Changyu couldn't help but be curious.
"Why?"
Su Changyu couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Su Changyu's question, the three of them were also a little surprised because it was not a secret.
However, they didn't expect Su Changyu to be unaware of it.
Clearly, Su Changyu had been in seclusion for a long time.
Hence, Princess Xu Yang spoke.
"Actually, this matter isn't very complicated."
"Forty years ago, my father's biological sister, Princess Changling, married the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"At first, my father was extremely opposed to it because Aunt Changling is the person he dotes on the most. Hence, he refused to agree to it no matter what, but Aunt Changling and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty were in love. Besides, they were well-matched in terms of social status."
"In the end, my father agreed to the marriage. However, more than ten years later, Aunt Changling gave birth to the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, which caused a phenomenon of heaven and earth. She was hailed as the son of luck of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"My father was extremely excited and agitated. After all, he was his nephew, but unfortunately, Aunt Changling passed away after giving birth to the Tenth Prince."
"My father flew into a rage, but in the end, there was nothing he could do. After all, the dead can't be resurrected. However, since then, the relationship between the Great Qian Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty has been very stiff."
"However, the real reason for the fall out was because the Tenth Prince disappeared and my father's only hope was gone. Hence, my father hated the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and the two dynasties never interacted with each other."
"For almost more than twenty years, none of the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty dared to step into the Great Qian Dynasty, let alone the royal family. If Senior Su is a member of the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty, you won't be able to step into the palace even if you save me. Otherwise, my father will find out."
"I reckon …"
Princess Xu Yang briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.
At this moment, Su Changyu couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
'Fortunately, I'm not a member of the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty. Otherwise, I'll be doomed. '
'But who is this Tenth Prince? '
'Why haven't I heard of him before? '
Su Changyu was a little curious, but he was mainly glad that he was lucky. If he was really mistaken for the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty and ended up being imprisoned, it would be troublesome.
"Your Highness, you're still too kind."
However, at this moment, Xu Jin suddenly spoke up and picked up his wine glass.
"His Majesty doesn't just hate the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he hates everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty. When the Crown Prince established diplomatic relations with the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, he was almost stripped of his position. I heard that he was even hung on a tree and given a good beating."
"So, Senior Su, if you're really not a member of the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty, you still have to change your clothes."
Xu Jin said with a smile that was laced with a dagger. There was a hidden meaning behind his words.
However, it wasn't considered a threat, and he just wanted to disgust Su Changyu.
If that trick was used on a real peerless expert, it wouldn't work at all. However, it really worked on Su Changyu.
After hearing his words, Su Changyu was really a little scared.
For some reason, he wanted to get out of the car and sneak away.
Although he was not a member of the royal family, the clothes were indeed given to him by Old Xuan.'Since he can give me such clothes, maybe Old Xuan is really a member of the royal family? ' 'What if he's a prince? '
Su Changyu was a little scared.
In fact, it wasn't just fear.
He somehow panicked.
However, despite panicking, he still had to show off.
"If the Tenth Prince can be found, the relationship between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Great Qian Dynasty might be eased, right?"
Su Changyu said calmly.
Xu Jin answered.
"I'm not sure if the relationship will be eased, but if the Tenth Prince is already dead, there's no doubt about that. Hence, there won't be any easing. If he can really be found, I reckon even the Crown Prince can't compare to the Tenth Prince in His Majesty's heart."
Xu Jin said.
However, in the next moment, Princess Xu Yang couldn't help but frown and look at Xu Jin.
"Xu Jin, don't you think what you said is a little too much?"
Princess Xu Yang frowned and looked at Xu Jin.
Not only did Xu Jin humiliate the Crown Prince time and time again, but he even bluntly stated that the Tenth Prince was dead. That was intolerable.
Although everyone knew that the Tenth Prince was probably really dead, there was no evidence or corpse. Hence, no one dared to say it out loud, especially the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty who still thought that the Tenth Prince was still alive.
If anyone dared to say that the Tenth Prince was dead, that person would have reached the end of his life.
Hearing Princess Xu Yang's rebuke, Xu Jin immediately shut up.
He knew that he had said the wrong thing, mainly because he was a little jealous of Su Changyu. Hence, he said the wrong thing all of a sudden.
Li Changqing glanced at Xu Jin.
In order to ease the tension, he couldn't help but speak up.
"The Tenth Prince is probably still alive. Marquis Xu, your words are indeed a little too much, but there's nothing wrong with the second half of your sentence."
"His Majesty has been thinking about the Tenth Prince for more than ten years. After all, Princess Changling is His Majesty's true kin."
"Besides, the current empress of the Great Qian Dynasty is also on good terms with Princess Changling. Rumor has it that if not for Princess Changling, the empress would have died in the palace a long time ago."
"It's also because of Princess Changling that the empress and His Majesty could end up together. Hence, His Majesty is not the only one who misses the Tenth Prince very much."
"Tsk, if the Tenth Prince really appears one day, I'm afraid even the Crown Prince won't be able to compare to him."
Li Changqing said.
There was indeed some envy in his tone.
It was a great honor for the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty who had disappeared when he was still a baby.
If he didn't die, he would definitely be the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. After all, the Great Qian Dynasty was the leader of the five dynasties. If nothing went wrong, the Tenth Prince would definitely have the support of the Great Qian Dynasty.
At this moment …
A voice suddenly sounded.
"Princess Xu Yang, you're finally here. His Majesty is looking for you."
A sharp voice sounded.
It broke the communication between the three of them in the carriage.
