Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1244 You let me fend for myself

Pang Zhijing lowered her eyes, and slightly bent her lips to laugh at herself from an angle that Xiao Hou couldn't see.

Sure enough, she was still an insignificant person outside his world, even if the two got along so well recently, it was useless.

He can play around with her today, and laugh with other women tomorrow.

In this era, the most indispensable thing for men is women.

Why should she humiliate herself here?
She suddenly felt that everything here was suffocating, and she didn't want to stay any longer.

So she said calmly, "I'm leaving."

As soon as the words fell, she turned around and was about to leave, but just as she took a step, someone grabbed her wrist.

Xiao Hou couldn't see her face clearly, but he was keenly aware that her emotions were not right, so he asked suspiciously, "I'm leaving just now, where are you going?"

"Someone asked me to drink tea." Just before coming here, Qingyan sent someone to tell her that there was a friend who wanted her to meet, but she missed him a little, so she went to Yiwang's mansion first. The original appointment was in the afternoon, but now she no longer wants to stay here for lunch, let alone accompany him.

Hearing this, Xiao Hou's face turned slightly cold, "Is it You Qingxi?"

Recently, his people have been responding. You Qingxi's people have been watching around the post station. He doesn't need to think about it to know that he is staring at her. He can't help but think of his tone and demeanor towards her on the street that day, so ambiguous , His heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Pang Zhijing chuckled and said, "Who am I going to do with, and what does it have to do with you?"

The indifference in her tone displeased him, and he immediately said coldly, "Didn't I tell you, don't approach him, he is not what you imagined, did you forget about the successive assassinations last time, Being with him is undoubtedly like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth."

At this time, she was very irritable, and when she heard his questioning again, Pang Zhijing felt an unknown anger burst out of her heart. She shook off his hand fiercely, still turned her back to him, and said, "That's also true." You don't need to meddle in my affairs!"

Her whole body was full of resistance to him, Xiao Hou squinted his eyes, and his tone was even more rude, "Could it be that you rekindled your old love for him and forgot the pain after the scars healed? I didn't expect you to be such a person! I knew In this way, I will leave you there and fend for myself, rather than shamelessly joining in now!"

Pang Zhijing turned around suddenly, her heart was full of anger, but after meeting his mocking look, she suddenly felt that the defense had lost its meaning.

"Yes, I forgot the pain when the scars healed. I should have lived and died at the beginning, whatever you think! I hate you!" After she finished speaking, she turned and ran, the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing down. With such a poor image in my heart, I don't want him to see my most embarrassing side, and I don't want him to laugh at me.

Yes, she forgot about the pain when her scars healed. His words in the palace hurt her deeply, but he was kind to her, so she couldn't help but lean on her.

Yes, she should have lived and died on her own back then, and not become anyone's burden, otherwise the situation like today would not have happened.

She wiped her tears and ran out of the study.

Her reaction was all beyond his expectation. When he realized it, she had already arrived at the door. He subconsciously wanted to chase her, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the tears in the corner of her eyes, and he froze suddenly. Then he immediately chased her. He went out, but when he reached the door, Lin Jiangdong appeared in front of him.

"My lord, something is wrong." Lin Jiangdong said solemnly.

With this interruption, the person had already run far away, and it was too late for him to catch up. Even if he did catch up, he didn't know what to say, and in the end he could only watch her disappear out of the yard.

He withdrew his gaze, suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart, and looked at Lin Jiangdong, "Come in and talk."

The two went back to the study.

Lin Jiangdong couldn't wait to say, "Your Highness, your Majesty has heard about your entry and exit from the Royal Palace two days ago. Now, he is ordering someone to investigate your relationship with Xiao Xu. It seems that he is worried about your joining forces."

Xiao Hou was silent when he heard the words, and then mocked in a low voice, "This old fox is still so sensitive, whenever there is something about Xiao Xu, he will dig three feet to investigate clearly."

Lin Jiangdong said worriedly, "Because of this, I am worried that he will discover our secret during the investigation process. Although we have done a good job of keeping secrets in our daily affairs, we are not afraid of [-] but just in case. What happened in Qingyang Although it was an accident to be discovered, didn’t it also verify this point?”

The counselor's analysis is not without reason.

"Then what's the solution, sir?" Xiao Hou looked up at him.

After pondering, Lin Jiangdong said, "The crux of this matter lies in your involvement with Xiao Xu. Your Majesty is suspecting whether you are conspiring together. People in power are like this. They are afraid that the people below will collude. So as long as you and Xiao Xu Clearing up the relationship can relieve His Majesty's suspicion, and we can safely avoid the limelight."

After hearing this, Xiao Hou leaned against the back of the chair with a gloomy face, lightly tapping the table with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

Father Huang's fear of Xiao Xu is increasing day by day, he can't involve himself in it, otherwise it will be completely wiped out by then.

"Okay, you send someone to send a letter to Prince Pang, saying that the king has something important to discuss and wants to see him now."

Xiao Hou immediately ordered.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangdong knew that the prince already had a countermeasure in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. Sure enough, he didn't follow the wrong person. Xiao Hou is a talented person, worthy of a great responsibility.

Just as Lin Jiangdong was about to go down, Xiao Hou suddenly stopped him.

"You will send someone to find out where the princess went today, and make sure she is safe."

Although he still couldn't forget that she still had feelings for You Qingxi just now, he hated iron for nothing, and was inexplicably angry, but when he remembered the suspected tears in the corners of her eyes just now, he couldn't help but subconsciously confessed.

Lin Jiangdong was slightly taken aback. The disaster caused for no reason this time was because of Pang Zhijing. If it wasn't for her poison, the prince would not have visited Xiao Xu, nor would he have entered Emperor Xixuan's sight and aroused his attention. Suspect.

Unexpectedly, the prince is still caring about her at this moment.

Lin Jiangdong thought for a while, and then said, "My lord, although I know that some things should not be said, after all, it is your private matter, but I feel that if the private matter has been involved in the official business, it is still necessary to remind you."

Xiao Hou didn't know what he was going to say, and looked at him calmly.

"Princess's temperament and appearance are indeed comparable to that of the girls in Kyoto, but there are also women like this. I want to persuade the prince not to indulge too deeply, otherwise I will be unable to leave it in the future, and it will affect the plan even more. That’s all for now, Your Highness, think about it carefully.”

Xiao Hou froze on the spot, until after Lin Jiangdong left, he still did not change his posture.

is it?

Has he been too addicted?
It shouldn't be right.

Yes, he just thought she was fun and interesting, that's all.

He won't be addicted, let alone affect the plan.

In his heart, he said to himself.
