Chapter 173 Jealousy
Chapter 173 Jealousy
We can no longer sit idly by.
Xiao Jue stared out the window and suddenly fell into deep thought again.
Should he take the risk and hand over the list that Nanny Zhang personally handed to him to the emperor?
He hesitated in his heart. It was obvious that now was not the best time. If he rashly took it out at this time, not only might it not really trip up the Queen's party, but it would probably backfire and he would be accused of false accusations by the ministers.
It seems that even though we are very anxious, we can only wait and see.
......
Out of Shaohua Palace.
When walking towards the palace gate.
Coincidentally, Lin Acai met the Crown Prince again.
Did we really meet by chance?
Not at all. The prince got the news that Miss Lin had just entered the palace to meet Concubine Xiao, so he took some time out of his busy schedule and came here to pretend that he met her by chance.
Looking at the two figures not far away, a handsome man and a beautiful woman who looked like a perfect couple, Li Chengce's heart suddenly trembled for no reason, and a feeling of sourness suddenly spread from his chest.
"Miss Lin...we meet again."
Before the two men got close to the prince, the prince suddenly looked at the girl not far away and shouted loudly.
Lin Acai bowed slightly, without a trace of emotion on his face, while Xiao Jue beside him pulled Lin Acai behind him very naturally. Although his face was warm and calm, it was easy to detect a hint of vigilance from his movements.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Xiao Jue nodded slightly.
Li Chengce: "I didn't expect such a coincidence today. I came back to the palace to visit my mother and met Miss Lin here again. Prince Xiao heard that you will marry Miss Lin in ten days and marry her as your prince's consort. I wonder if this is true?"
Xiao Jue: "The marriage is indeed true, but it is not in ten days, but in nine days..."
Looking at Xiao Jue's meaningful and obviously provocative eyes, the prince secretly suppressed his anger and said in a teasing tone: "Then your highness would like to congratulate Xiao Shizi in advance for winning the beauty. Miss Lin is a rare and unique girl in the Northern Cang Kingdom.
It is not easy for you to marry her as the Crown Prince's Consort. You must keep a close eye on Miss Lin, otherwise the duck in your mouth will fly away and end up with nothing."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern for me. But don't worry, Your Highness, Ah Cai and I are in love with each other. It is a fate destined by heaven. No one can separate us."
Xiao Jue's words suddenly changed the prince's expression. The phrase "a match made in heaven" was like a thorn piercing his chest.
As blood dripped, he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Lin Acai, trying to draw some comfort from her gaze.
But he actually saw with his own eyes that Lin Acai suddenly leaned her head on Xiao Jue's shoulder, her eyes full of affection fell on the man beside her, and suddenly she spoke in agreement:
"Brother...please go back and buy me some lotus seed soup later. Our little sweetheart specifically asked me to bring some back for her today."
"If my little girl wants to eat it, of course I as a father should buy it for her." Xiao Jue suddenly chuckled and looked at the woman beside him with a doting look.
"..."
The prince's burning gaze suddenly turned cold.
The look in his eyes changed in an instant, from embarrassment to jealousy, and then to full of envy and shame.
Originally, he was thinking of embarrassing this Master Xiao so that he would give up, but he didn't expect that he would be the clown in the end.
The two people opposite looked so loving that it made others envious.
Make him extremely jealous!
Xiao Jue: "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, Ah Cai and I will leave the palace first."
Li Chengce: "Okay... Miss Lin... I will definitely be there on your wedding day."
That's right, he just said he was there.
Rather than saying that they will be there to celebrate.
No matter what, he would not let go of such an opportunity. He must fight for himself again. If he really could not succeed by then, it would not be too late to let go.
Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in the prince's heart, and he showed that warm smile again.
Lin Acai: "Your Highness, I bid you farewell..."
......
Out of the palace gate.
While sitting in the carriage, Lin Acai exhaled heavily and couldn't help but complain blatantly.
"Why does this prince always haunt me? He always liked to block people at the palace gate before, and now he's here again. Can you please stop staring at me? There are so many unmarried girls of marriageable age in Kyoto."
Xiao Jue pondered for a moment, then suddenly revealed his dimples, and his deep gaze wandered over the woman opposite him: "It's because my Ah Cai is good enough. There's no other girl as pleasing as you in the whole city of Kyoto."
"Is this still possible...Your mouth is as sweet as honey, how can I be as evil as you say? You've made me feel like I'm in heaven and on earth."
The corners of Lin Acai's mouth rose slightly, and she couldn't hide a sense of pride, but she joked and didn't want to admit it.
"My Ah Cai is irreplaceable in this world. In my eyes, you are the best in the world. The greatest luck in my life is meeting you."
I have to say that Xiao Jue really understands women. After being bombarded with these sugar-coated bullets one after another, Lin Acai was completely defeated. A faint blush slowly appeared on her face, her eyes were affectionate, and suddenly she lifted the car curtain uncomfortably to take a look outside.
At this moment, Xiao Jue suddenly moved forward and hugged his Ah Cai into his arms, hugging her tighter and tighter.
He slowly lowered his head and leaned closer to Lin Acai's ear: "It's been a long time since I saw you so shy. I remember you were also so shy when we were in Xinghua Village before, and it was in my dream..."
Lin Acai knew that the words in his dream clearly had a hidden meaning. She looked into the man's already dull eyes and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"..."
No, where is this person's hand reaching?
What is he going to do???
This is a carriage. He wouldn't want to eat her up here, would he?
"What are you doing, my lord? This is a carriage, please stop touching it."
Xiao Jue raised his eyes, and his chaotic hands suddenly stopped. He looked at Ah Cai with a dazed look.
"Acai...it's okay. No one will disturb us here. These people are the guards of my general's mansion. Without the order of this prince, they are blind and deaf."
Lin Acai couldn't help but widen her eyes with a look of disbelief.
Listen, is this human talk?
So many people were following outside the carriage, even though they were separated by curtains, but what was the difference between this and a live broadcast?
Lin Acai couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, so she turned her head frantically and said perfunctorily: "Brother, please stop. I know you are feeling uncomfortable now... Can you go home first? There are so many people..."
