It was just that no matter how dissatisfied HuangFu Hao was, he could only comply.
Yi Feng Pavilion was in the outskirts and was some distance away from the Ding capital, thus one had to depart when the sky had just brightened. After reaching the outskirts, there was still a long mountain road. Luckily there was a wealthy family that specially built a road for the horse carriages, else it would be much more difficult to walk. Even so, it would take a while to reach the Yi Feng Pavilion.
HuangFu Hao let his guards stay at the waist of the mountain and walked forward alone. It was not because of anything else but the invitation specifically instructed him not to bring any guards over. The more guards there were, the more unnatural this' marriage 'would be. Moreover the Crown Prince would arrive earlier to discuss with HuangFu Hao, thus it would be inconvenient to bring more people.
HuangFu Hao was not afraid of any accidents at all. Firstly, the Crown Prince would definitely have other guards placed in this place so there was no need to worry about assassins. Secondly, the Crown Prince would not make a move on him as there were so many people watching. When he went out today, the people from the residence of Prince Qin would know that he was here for the Crown Prince's appointment. If anything were to happen to him, the Crown Prince would not be able to escape responsibility.
Therefore, HuangFu Hao calmly left the guards behind and went up himself.
However there was no medicine for regret in this world and HuangFu Hao very quickly paid the price of his own conceited decision.
When HuangFu Hao was walking up from the waist of the mountain, the Crown Prince was also walking towards Yi Feng Pavilion with his guards from another path. Both of them happened to maintain a distance of one in front and one behind. The gap was not big but because they were not on the same path and direction, they just missed each other.
After the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, HuangFu Hao reached Yi Feng Pavilion.
In the long pavilion of Yi Feng Pavilion, there was already a person sitting there. When that person saw HuangFu Hao, he immediately stood up. It was the Crown Prince.
HuangFu Hao was somewhat surprised as he did not expect that the Crown Prince would arrive earlier than him. As such, the time that was requested on the invitation was not that unacceptable. After all, the other party had arrived earlier.
He looked left and right and said, "Why are the others not here?"
Since there was going to be a 'love at first sight' show, how would the show start if no one else was here?
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "There's no rush, there's no rush. I called you here so early today because I have something to say to you in private."
HuangFu Hao felt that something was amiss, but he didn't think too much about it. His guards were stationed halfway up the mountain, and would be able to rush over in time. Seeing that the Crown Prince's guards were by his side, he knew that nothing would go wrong. He then asked, "Please speak."
The Crown Prince walked to HuangFu Hao's side and said, "Brother HuangFu, don't you find it strange why I have called you over so early today and why I have Brother HuangFu's guards stay at the waist of the mountain?"
"They probably have something important to discuss." HuangFu Hao was a little impatient to argue with the Crown Prince. The two of them had already reached this stage, there was no need to hide anything.
"Brother Huangfu, don't you think this is like trying to silence them?" The Crown Prince asked.
HuangFu Hao laughed loudly and said, "Joking is not your style."
The Crown Prince did not reply. HuangFu Hao turned to look at him, his heart skipping a beat.
The Crown Prince's expression was calm, and he did not do anything else. However, this calmness caused HuangFu Hao to suddenly feel a deep sense of unease. He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. But … why would the Crown Prince want to silence them? Unless the Crown Prince could kill all the servants in King Qin's Residence, the Crown Prince would not be able to escape responsibility. Moreover, HuangFu Hao could not think of a reason why the Crown Prince would want to kill him.
However, before he could hear the answer, he saw the Crown Prince's eyes flash. HuangFu Hao was shocked and instinctively dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding a silver sword light that came stabbing at him from behind.
