The horses neighed and in the gently swaying carriage, Xiao Huayong lowered his head and looked at his slowly opened hands. His hands were broad and thick, carved from ivory with clear textures, and looked full of power.
"It would be easy for me to make you disappear from this world without a trace."
"Your Highness, I believe what you said without a doubt." Xie Yunhuai remained calm, "But, will Your Highness do it?"
Xiao Huayong suddenly raised his eyes, his sharp gaze piercing directly at Xie Yunhuai.
Xie Yunhuai said calmly and gently: "If Your Highness wants to put me to death, now is the best time."
Xiao Huayong and Shen Xihe worked in perfect harmony. Shen Xihe bought Xiao Huayong enough time to make arrangements at Xie's mansion, and then made a big fuss at Xie's mansion in public, almost locking down the area where Xiao Huayong could hide people.
When Shen Xihe arrived at the palace with the gold medal in his hand, it gave Xiao Huayong the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
However, King Xun was not an ordinary person. He had become alert as soon as Shen Xihe entered the ancestral hall. To be on the safe side, he planned to escape. He happened to run into Xiao Huayong's men who sneaked into the ancestral hall and knocked down the person guarding the hall.
If it was a step later, King Xun would rather make a noise and fall into the hands of Your Majesty than be captured by Xiao Huayong.
This time, Xiao Huayong had to take action personally to quickly subdue King Xun, but he was in the hands of King Xun's subordinates.
Xie Yunhuai couldn't help but touch the sword mark on his neck. At that time, King Xun's subordinates asked Xiao Huayong to release King Xun, otherwise they would kill him.
What kind of person is Xiao Huayong? No one knows better than Xie Yunhuai. Xiao Changyu and Xiao Changgeng only saw the tip of the iceberg, but he saw the whole thing. He knew that Xiao Huayong would not compromise.
The Crown Prince never compromises with anyone, including His Majesty.
His death here had nothing to do with Xiao Huayong, and no one would know why he died. The culprit could only be Xie Ji.
What he never expected was that Xiao Huayong actually released King Xun.
When King Xun retreated towards his subordinates, Xiao Huayong's ambushing men flew over and attacked King Xun directly. The people holding him hostage instinctively wanted to protect King Xun. At this moment, he did not even see how Xiao Huayong made his move, and hot blood splashed on his face.
The man who attacked King Xun was seriously injured by King Xun. King Xun shouted loudly, which alarmed many guards of Xie Mansion and rushed over. He immediately rushed out to stop them. As he was detained by Xie Ji, all the guards were attracted by him and wanted to catch him, which gave Xiao Huayong the opportunity to capture King Xun again.
It was just a matter of time, but Xiao Huayong let King Xun escape in order to save his life.
Xiao Huayong withdrew his gaze calmly, and the carriage turned into an empty alley and stopped. Xiao Huayong got off the carriage: "Just now was not the best opportunity, I will not allow you to be indelible in her heart."
With Shen Xihe's intelligence, she would soon understand why Xie Yunhuai took the risk of his life. If Xie Yunhuai died in Xie Mansion because of this, even if she didn't know or blame herself for not saving him, she would still feel guilty towards Xie Yunhuai.
Everything can be changed while a person is alive, but once a person dies, it is difficult to erase some traces.
"If that's the case, it won't be easy for Your Highness to kill me." Xie Yunhuai opened the carriage curtain and met the tall and graceful Xiao Huayong's eyes. "I, the princess, consider you my lifelong confidant."
