In the pavilion of Maple Feather Pavilion.
"Brother Qingyuan, I want to cooperate with Seventh Prince! What do you think?" Shangguan Ruoyu asked.
"From the interaction with the Seventh Prince tonight, he doesn't look like a playboy. Moreover, his martial arts are also very high. I also heard that he doesn't get along with Zhang Zhongshou, so we should give it a try.”Yue Qingyuan analyzed.
"After all, killing Zhang Zhongshou isn't enough to prove the Shangguan family's innocence. I believe he has many underlings and it won't be easy to bring him down. Tonight, I'll go and meet the Seventh Prince.”
"Little Yu, do you have feelings for Zhang Xingyan?”
"Brother Qingyuan, how can we talk about love affairs before we take revenge? Don't worry, I don't have any feelings for him. I just think that he's a good person and we might be able to be friends.”Shangguan Ruoyu said slowly. Love was too heavy for her.
Yue Qingyuan saw Shangguan Ruoyu's lonely back and left with a sigh.
In the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
"Xingyan, I really don't plan to leave this time.”Li Yuxuan asked seriously.
"Yes, you know that my father has begun to make arrangements. I don't want him to make another mistake. You know that almost no one knows that I'm Zhang Zhongshou's son. I can help you, but I still hope that you can spare his life.”
"Don't worry, as long as he doesn't go overboard, I can promise you that. However, it's funny when I think about it. He sent you to practice martial arts when you were young, but he didn't expect you to keep in touch with me.”
"When necessary, he will. He sent me to practice martial arts since I was young so that I could help him when necessary. After all, he is still my father.”Zhang Xingyan disappeared after saying that.
Li Yuxuan sighed. He couldn't help but think of Murong Ling. She was the only one who dared to talk to him like that. He actually quarreled with her too. Seriously! Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up!
"Bang!" The teacup hit the door and shattered into pieces!
"It's you. Miss Lin, you didn't come here late at night to see the zither player again, did you?”There was a hint of mockery in his voice.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I came to visit late at night because I have a request.”Shangguan Ruoyu walked in.
"This prince's study doesn't have a servant girl, so Miss Lin can pour the tea yourself.”Li Yuxuan glanced at Shangguan Ruoyu and sat back in his chair.
"Biluochun! Good tea." Shangguan Ruoyu took a sip and couldn't help but laugh.
"Miss Lin, if you have something to say, just say it. A man and a woman staying in a room alone, I'm afraid it will ruin your reputation.”Li Yuxuan joked.
Shangguan Ruoyu was still a girl after all. She looked a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she quickly returned to normal." To be honest, Your Highness, I want to cooperate with you.”
"Cooperation? What cooperation? This king doesn't need to cooperate. If outsiders heard you, they would think that this king has some ulterior motive.”
"Your Highness, you're overthinking. I'll get straight to the point. I know you want to take down Zhang Zhongshou. This is what I want to work with you on.”Shangguan Ruoyu stopped beating around the bush.
"Oh, but why should I cooperate with you? Your martial arts are high, but my subordinates are also good.”Li Yuxuan smiled.
"That's true. However, I believe that Your Highness knows that your subordinates can't go to the Martial Arts Circle Convention, right? Also, from what I know, Ouyang Xiong and Zhang Zhongshou's relationship isn't ordinary.”Shangguan Ruoyu's face was full of confidence. She knew that this cooperation was set.
"Hahaha, Miss Lin, you really know everything and say everything. Then where is your sincerity?”
"Actually, my name is Shangguan Ruoyu."
"Shangguan, so you are the descendant of Prime Minister Shangguan.”Li Yuxuan couldn't help but think of the upright Prime Minister. He was only six years old when his family was raided, but he already understood the scheming in the court.
"My father is Shangguan Nian." Shangguan Ruoyu couldn't help but want to cry when she thought of the injustice of the Shangguan family.
"So, your condition is to clear the name of the Shangguan family.”
"Yes, I originally wanted to kill Zhang Zhongshou, but I knew that my father was born an upright person who served the country. How could he bear the name of treason after his death?”
"Miss Shangguan, even so, I will help you clear the name of the Shangguan family. Prime Minister Shangguan has always been a senior that I admire.”
"I know that Your Highness has always done your best for the people. I will definitely do my best to help Your Highness. However, Your Highness, you should still remember that my surname is Lin. Ruoyu will replace wine with tea to toast Your Highness.”Shangguan Ruoyu picked up her teacup and said straightforwardly.
"Alright, Miss Lin." Li Yuxuan also picked up his teacup.
Back at Maple Feather Pavilion, Shangguan Ruoyu took out the Liuxi sword that she had been hiding and looked at it quietly. She didn't know when she would be able to take it out openly.
The next day, before Shangguan Ruoyu got up, she heard Murong Ling shouting.
"Sister Yu, get up quickly." Shangguan Ruoyu's door was pushed open.
"What's wrong? Is there a fire?" Shangguan Ruoyu couldn't help but make fun of Murong Ling. After saying that, she lifted the blanket and picked up a light green shirt.
"Aiya, Sister Yu, this is worse than a fire! Do you know who's here?" Murong Ling narrowed her eyes at Shangguan Ruoyu. Sister Yu was so beautiful!
"Who is it?" Shangguan Ruoyu began to search the list of people in her mind.
"It's that Zhang Xingyan from yesterday. He came really early and said he wanted to take us out for breakfast. I think he has ulterior motives.”Murong Ling smiled ambiguously.
"Ling 'er." Shangguan Ruoyu was a little embarrassed." Let's go. Didn't you say that she has been waiting for a long time?"”
"Yes, I know. Sister Yu can't wait anymore, hehehe.”
"You little girl, you're even joking with me.”Shangguan Ruoyu looked at the pink figure who had already run away and couldn't help but shake her head. Thinking of Zhang Xingyan, she couldn't help but feel nervous and expectant.
"Big Brother Zhang, you must have been waiting anxiously. My Sister Xiao Yu is here. She must have been too happy last night and slept late.”Murong Ling said seriously.
"Oh, Miss Lin is very happy." Zhang Xingyan's white clothes made him look very gentle and refined.
"Yeah, of course Sister Yu is happy to be with Big Brother Zhang. You guys had a good chat last night.”
"Ling 'er." Just as Zhang Xingyan was feeling awkward, Shangguan Ruoyu warned him. This Ling 'er really had a big mouth.
"Young Master Zhang." Shangguan Ruoyu nodded at Zhang Xingyan as a greeting.
"Miss Lin, I'm sorry to disturb you so early. I was just thinking about how you first arrived, so I thought of bringing you to try the breakfast outside.”Zhang Xingyan said.
"Oh, didn't Young Master Zhang say that you've only just returned to the capital? Why are you still so familiar with these matters?”Yue Qingyuan was already in the main hall, and his tone carried a trace of unfriendliness.
"Heh, although I've only just returned to the capital, it's only been a few months. I still know of the capital's famous exquisite buns.”Zhang Xingyan couldn't help but feel a little strange about the hostility this foreign man had towards him. Could it be because of Miss Lin? Thinking of this, Zhang Xingyan felt a little sad.
"Then let's go eat. Don't stand there.”Murong Ling noticed that the atmosphere wasn't right, so she suggested. Brother Yue was usually a very steady person, so why was he here today?
Shangguan Ruoyu glanced at Yue Qingyuan and understood why he was acting so strangely today. He was doing this for her own good. "Brother Qingyuan, where's Anu?”
"Anu went out early in the morning." Yue Qingyuan looked at Shangguan Ruoyu, not knowing how to tell her that he had asked Anu to investigate Zhang Xingyan yesterday. Strangely, no one knew who he was, but he said he was from the capital. It was obvious that he had lied, so Anu went to investigate again this morning.
Shangguan Ruoyu nodded and followed them out.
"Hey, where are you guys going so early in the morning?" The group of people who were heading out bumped into Shang Yu.
"Big Brother Zhang brought us to eat the famous Linglong Bun.”Murong Ling smiled. "This is Big Brother Zhang Xingyan, and this is Big Brother Shangyu.”Murong Ling continued.
They nodded at each other, and the tacit understanding that flashed across their eyes instantly returned to the way they had just met.
"Then you guys go first. I'll go see my father first.”
