The prince is shameless

Chapter 20

"Third Prince?" Wen Xing was startled, thinking he had heard wrongly, "Why did he invite me for no reason?"

His mind was so messed up that he had temporarily lost his ability to think.

Seeing that Wen Xing was absent-minded, Yun Nian frowned and asked softly, "My lord, what's the matter with you? But His Royal Highness... did you make things difficult for you?"

It was only then that Wen Xing realized what he had just said, coughed lightly with guilt, left a sentence "Wait for me for a while", and quickly hid in the room to calm down.

Yun Nian blinked, looking at his rare gaffe, with a confused look on his face.

A quarter of an hour had passed since Wen Xing had collected himself, and when he came out again, he saw Yun Nian really standing there in a daze waiting for him.

There was a smile in Wen Xing's eyes, and he walked over to take the letter in Yun Nian's hand quite leisurely, without seeing the distressed look just now.

Unhurriedly unfolding the letter, he asked, "When did you receive it?"

"This morning." Yun Nian said truthfully, "When Yun Nian was ordered to deliver breakfast to Mr. Fei, a guard-like person gave it to him."

Wen Xing briefly glanced at the "invitation letter" that was stinky and full of nonsense, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since His Highness the Third Prince invites you so sincerely, it would be too shameful for me not to go."

"But is there any danger?" Yun Nian's eyes were full of disapproval.

Under the guidance of Wen Xing in the past few years, Yun Nian gradually understood the frightening every step in the court, and also learned to judge the pros and cons of some things, and express her own views to Wen Xing.

Wen Xing heard the words, curled his lips and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, the third prince is just a fool. From what he said in his letter, he thought that I had lost the heart of His Royal Highness, and he made it clear that he wanted to win me over."

It's not that Wen Xing is arrogant, it's that the three princes used exactly the same tricks against him in their previous lives.

He almost got caught in the previous life, but he was already prepared in this life, so he must take this opportunity to give the third prince a ride.

The smile on Wen Xing's lips deepened, but Yun Nian shivered suddenly.

His master's expression seemed a little... scary.

-

The next day, taking advantage of Xie Yi's absence from court, Wen Xing summoned Yun Nian again.

"My lord called Yun Nian, what's the matter?"

Since entering the Eastern Palace, Wen Xing has always read with Fang Yunnian aside, except for waking up and meal time, he almost never asks him to do anything.And this time Wen Xing's expression was unexpectedly solemn.

He glanced at Yun Nian who was standing upright, and asked softly, "Has His Royal Highness gone to court?"

Yun Nian nodded.

Only then did Wen Xing feel relieved, took out the letter that Yun Nian handed to him yesterday, put it on the table and put it away. "You put this away, and don't let His Royal Highness find out."

"Why?" Yun Nian seemed puzzled, but still kept it away.

Wen Xing didn't answer, but lowered his eyelashes and said in a low voice: "It's better not to let him get involved in this matter."

Otherwise it might ruin his plan.

Wen Xing didn't say the second half of the sentence, Yun Nian thought that he didn't want His Royal Highness to worry.

Yun Nian frowned, and asked worriedly: "My lord, do you really have to go? From what you said, this trip must be extremely dangerous."

Wen Xing pursed his lips as if he didn't hear it.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a long time, Wen Xing laughed lightly, with a look in Yun Nian's eyes that Yun Nian had never seen before.

"There are always some things that have to be done even if they are dangerous." He paused for a while, then continued, "Take the exit token sent by the third prince. If His Royal Highness asks, you can say ...that I went out to relax."

Yun Nian opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the dissuading words.He respectfully handed over the token and said "yes".

Wen Xing didn't stay any longer, and took the exit token sent by the third prince to Yundaolou to attend the appointment.

Yundaolou is known as the No. [-] restaurant in Zhang'an City. It is one of the best restaurants in the city in terms of its large scale, good dishes, and high prices.And because the boxes on the second floor are separated from each other, be careful not to have ears on the partition wall, so it is very suitable for discussing and plotting big things.

Wen Xing changed out of his blue clothes today, and put on a simple yet gorgeous red patterned dress with a white background, and a white jade flowing pattern crown on his head.His gentle temperament and good-looking face have attracted many people to look back.

He stood quietly at the door of Yundaolou, as if waiting for someone.

Not long after, a man dressed as a junior came out of Yundao building in a hurry, and said courteously, "You are Mr. Wen Er, right? The young master has been waiting for you for a long time, please come along with me."

Wen Xing nodded, thanked with a light smile, and walked in behind Xiao Er.

The restaurants and wing rooms that Xie Qi picked this time were exactly the same as those in his previous life, and Wen Xing felt a little more confident in his heart.

He tidied his sleeves casually, and brushed a bead on the bracelet of his left hand with the tip of his right finger.

"It's here. Young master, please."

Xiao Er made a gesture, Wen Xing smiled back, and walked in.

There were already several people waiting in the wing room.

Wen Xing took a look, and recognized the young man standing by the window with his back turned to him, he lowered his expression and saluted, "See Your Highness the Third Prince."

"Young Master Wen, don't be too polite." Xie Qi's voice came from the front, "Take a seat."

"Thank you, Third Highness."

Wen Xing rolled up his sleeves and sat down under the guidance of a servant.

Xie Qi also turned around slowly, and sat down leisurely.Next to him was a masked man.

Wen Xing glanced at the man, a coldness flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by a kindness that no one could see through.

The man's name was Yuan Guan, and he was a member of the Nanxiang clan, a clan adjacent to the southernmost end of the Northern Dynasty.

The biggest support for this Hongmen Banquet is this Yuan Guan.In her previous life, Wen Xing was not clear, but she was bullied by him several times for no reason.It's a pity that Emperor Anlong dealt with them privately for the sake of the royal family's face, and he couldn't humiliate them back. He would not let go of this great opportunity.

His turbulent emotions were just rolling in the bottom of his heart, and the smile on his face was still perfect.

Wen Xing withdrew his attention, looked at Xie Qi on the opposite side who showed no sign of "willing to win" on his face, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what the Third Highness is looking for?"

Xie Qi took a sip of tea, swallowed it, and then said slowly: "I heard that Mr. Wen is a handsome man with outstanding talents. This prince really can't hold back today, so he wants to meet him."

"The Third Highness is absurd. I'm just a small person, how dare the Third Highness think about it." Wen Xing smiled slightly, his clear eyes were stained with tiny stars, which was really eye-catching.

He was originally born with a handsome and refined appearance, but with a smile on his lips, he looked even more elegant and gentle.For a while, even Xie Qi couldn't help being dazed for a while.

Wen Xing pretended not to notice Xie Qi's malicious intentions, and continued: "What's more, as the prince's accompaniment, it's not uncommon to be with the Third Highness, so there is really no need to bother the Third Highness to waste so much trouble."

Xie Qi raised his hand and ordered Yuan Guan to pour a cup of tea for Wen Xing. Hearing Wen Xing's remarks, he said nonchalantly: "How can this be called trouble? The second son Wen should know that this prince has always liked to make friends with talented people. In the eyes of this prince, a banquet is the most common thing."

Wen Xing pursed his lips and smiled, then nodded and said, "The Third Highness has a heart."

Xie Qi called Yuan Guan to pour him another cup of tea, using the same teapot that Wen Xing poured just now.He boldly drank the whole cup at once, then threw the teacup on the table casually, and said, "Speaking of which, my prince has heard that the elder brother has been ignoring Second Young Master Wen recently?"

When it came to the topic, Wen Xing's eyes flickered slightly, he forced a smile, and said, "Your Highness is just busy these days, so we can't talk coldly."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his eyes to avoid Xie Qi's probing gaze, and uncomfortably took a sip from his teacup, just "missing" the sinister smile in Xie Qi's eyes.

Xie Qi shook his head regretfully, and said: "Brother Huang was used to being self-willed by sister Huang when he was young, so it's hard for someone like Second Young Master Wen to take care of him."

"It's a blessing for me to be the companion of His Highness the Crown Prince." The smile on Wen Xing's face faded a little, and he couldn't explain why, "Naturally, there is nothing hard to do or not hard to do."

Xie Qi glanced at him reproachfully, and continued: "You can't say that. The prince sees you as beautiful as a crown jade and personable. It's a pity to live in the small East Palace."

Wen Xing secretly sneered in his heart.

Even if it's just ordinary people in the capital, anyone who pays more attention to the promotion of officials knows that entering the East Palace as a companion basically means a prosperous career in the future-unless he encounters a strange thing like Wen Xing who is eager to be released.

Fortunately, the third prince didn't pay attention to Dong Gong at all.

but……

Wen Xing glanced secretly at the few people in the wing room, all of them were the most loyal people around Xie Qi.Even if he used this as an excuse to sue Anlong Emperor, as long as the third prince refused to admit it, he could be charged with sowing discord.

He wiped away his coldness, and said with a light smile: "I'm already a high-ranking officer when I enter the East Palace, how can I say I'm condescending. I don't know if the Third Highness has other things to say? If there is no minister, I will leave first."

Obviously, Wen Xing didn't want to stay here any longer.

Xie Qi guessed that the time was almost up, so he got up first, smiled meaningfully and said, "In that case, please, Mr. Wen."

Wen Xing stopped talking nonsense, stood up and wanted to salute and leave.However, as soon as he stood up, his legs felt weak, and he couldn't help but fell forward.

Everything in front of me seemed to be spinning and churning.

He hurriedly supported the table, and inadvertently knocked over the teacup that was originally on hand.The tea flowed to his palm along the chopsticks at the side, it was as bitter as frost.

"Third Highness, you actually...cough cough cough..."

The pain began to spread from the internal organs, eroding and sweeping the whole body.Wen Xing half-closed his eyes and gritted his teeth to make a sound, but suddenly coughed up a smear of blood red.

Xie Qi raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a sinister smile.

"It seems that Second Young Master Wen is not feeling well. Yuan Guan, help Second Young Master go back."

The masked man was ordered to come over to help.

Wen Xing resisted the dizziness and pain and wanted to get rid of him, but when he approached, he smelled a subtle fragrance——

It's a stupor-inducing scent!

"Bastard..." Wen Xing held back the fishy sweetness in his throat, and after struggling to squeeze out two words, he finally couldn't help his eyes go dark, and fell into a coma completely.
