Under such circumstances, if Shen Xihe still excluded him, it would be normal for him to feel unwilling and heartbroken.
Xiao Huayong turned his face to the side, gritted his teeth, and looked depressed.
Shen Xihe held his face with both hands, and turned him over forcefully, looking him in the eye. "I just think this matter is very serious. His Majesty seems to have suspected that you know your life experience. If my father and I don't cover up the whole plot this time, why do you want to go against His Majesty? You are the legitimate crown prince, and His Majesty treats you with special favor on the surface. His Majesty can't be sure that you hate him. He is His Majesty, and there is no evidence of what happened back then. Even if there is evidence, after so many years, the people in the court also want stability. How can they openly support you because of what happened back then
We cannot confront His Majesty head-on. My father and I are thorns in his eyes. In the past, he just regarded me as a woman and never took me seriously. After this incident, as long as my father and brother can defend the northwest, just as I cannot easily kill King Xun at this moment, even if I am under His Majesty's nose all day long, His Majesty cannot do anything to me if he cannot find any evidence against me."
"It's not possible to do it openly, but do you know how many tricks he has behind the scenes..."
"It's okay." Shen Xihe interrupted Xiao Huayong, "I am someone who can be bullied..." She paused and a faint smile appeared in her obsidian eyes, "What's more, I have you by my side. I believe that even if I am trapped in the swamp, you can pull me out intact."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been feeling uncomfortable and pent-up, felt a lump in his chest when he heard these words, as if a cool breeze had blown through the scorching heat. He felt refreshed all over and couldn't help grinning.
Standing far away, Pearl, who had been shrinking her neck and pretending to be coy, had just watched the quarrel between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Suddenly, she remembered what the Crown Princess said that day: she could coax His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with just a few words. Now she believed it.
No matter what situation I'm in, I believe you can protect me.
How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still be angry about this
Isn't this telling His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly that the Crown Princess is doing this because she has nothing to fear and she is relying on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
She knew that he was just trying to coax her, and she knew that she didn't really think that way in her heart. A capable girl like her couldn't possibly rely on her men to protect her. No matter when and where she was, whenever she encountered danger, she would always choose to save herself.
However, after hearing her words, Xiao Huayong's depression instantly dissipated, as if the clouds had cleared and the moon appeared. The bright light enveloped his entire body, making him radiant involuntarily.
He suddenly stretched out his hands and held her in his arms: "Yo yo, I... really can't do anything with you."
He was destined to be in Shen Xihe's hands for the rest of his life, especially since she knew how to coax him now and had a firm grasp on his heart. All she needed was a word from him and he would want to pour out his heart to her.
Shen Xihe raised the corners of his lips slightly, hugged him back, and leaned his head slightly on his shoulder.
This made Xiao Huayong's heart melt into a puddle of water. It didn't matter, as long as she was happy.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince compromised in this way.
On the other hand, although Shen Xihe believed that Xiao Changtai had made up his mind to die, she still sent people to follow Xiao Changtai, not secretly, but openly. If she didn't follow him, how would she know where he would end his life
