Chapter 277 Lao Liu’s Study
It's icy and snowy outside, but warm and affectionate inside.
The snow on the roof seemed to be melting.
Water dripped into the grooved stone puddles, making a muffled sound.
The voices of the palace maids looking for the tenth prince disappeared at some point.
The charcoal basin in the house was added by Xie Chen and had been burned out twice just now.
Xiangying gathered her clothes and tilted her head slightly, her wet hair sticking to her fair cheeks.
She saw a scar on Jinchen's abdomen and held his hand down when he was about to put on clothes.
"Where did you get the injury?"
Based on Xiangying's experience, the wound area showed red flesh and had not yet fully healed. It was obvious that the injury had just happened not long ago.
Xie Chen paused: "I was scratched by a knife accidentally."
Xiangying was even more surprised: "Been knifed?"
The Xie Chen she knew was someone who would immediately become alert within three meters of someone approaching him.
To be cut like this by a knife was so shocking that she didn't even dare to press hard just now.
"Here you go." Xiangying took out a bottle of ointment directly from the space.
Jie Chen took one look and knew it was her novelty, something that had never been seen before in this era.
He paused, his somewhat hoarse tone seemed innocent.
"If you weren't here, I wouldn't know how to use it by myself."
"Don't take advantage of me!" Xiangying scolded, "Can you still apply ointment? Prince Xie, don't pretend to be pitiful."
Jie Chen laughed, tied his belt slowly, and bent down to look at her: "When will you serve the eldest princess next?"
Just now when the relationship between the two became stronger, Xiangying said the word "serve" jokingly, but he didn't expect that he would remember it in his heart.
Xiangying combed her black hair: "Next time, I'll come to you if I want."
Jie Chen raised his eyebrows, a hint of joy flowing in his thin eyes.
Before leaving, Xiangying put a portrait in Jiechen's hand.
"If you have a chance to see Fang Gan, help me give him this portrait, and tell him that I seem to have found his sister. If he has the ability, let him come to the palace to find me."
This is what she drew in the space before, based on the appearance of the woman in the cold palace.
And said to Xie Chen: "Can you send someone to secretly protect this woman in the cold palace? Last time I saw her accidentally, she was almost violated by the eunuch."
Xie Chen paused: "Okay."
He would agree to all Xiangying's requests.
When the two were about to leave, Xiangying remembered and asked: "Whose study is here?"
Jie Chen took a look and said calmly: "It seems to be Lao Liu's."
Xiangying looked back and couldn't help but look at the desk they had overturned and the mess on the ground.
She blushed: "Fortunately, Lao Liu won't find out that we did it."
"If he can't find it, I will send someone to deal with it. Moreover, Lao Liu recently rushed back to Meicheng to pick up someone."
After Xie Chen finished speaking, Xiangying asked curiously: "Who to pick up?"
Xie Chen straightened her clothes: "Miss Lu, Lu Panchu, Governor Lu was infected with the epidemic for some reason and died."
Xiangying was shocked.
After hearing what Xie Chen said, she realized that he had given one of the two blood-covered cloaks she had given to the sixth prince to Lu Panchu!
Doesn’t this damn sixth prince have no feelings for Lu Panchu? Why did you send the cloak to Meicheng?
Moreover, I heard that after Governor Lu found out that he was sick, he immediately locked himself up for fear of infecting his daughter.
In the end, he died of illness because the medicine was ineffective.
Except for himself, no one was implicated, but Meicheng lost its governor overnight and the court needed to be re-employed. When the sixth prince heard about this, he immediately volunteered and rushed to Meicheng to pick up Lu Panchu with the prefect who was about to take office.
Xiangying was a little confused: "It's strange, does the Sixth Prince care so much about Miss Lu? I didn't see it before."
Jie Chen put his arms around her shoulders, took her out of the study, and said, "My spies said that Lu Panchu seems to be pregnant."
"What?!" Xiangying glared.
When she recalled it, was it that time?
Although Xiang Qianqian was anxious and wanted to show off his reputation, Lu Panchu kept silent in order to protect his reputation.
But she didn't expect that fate would play a trick on her and make her pregnant at this time.
Xiangying scratched her cheek silently: "I really... don't know what to say. Maybe this is fate."
Jie Chen nodded and took a look at the sky.
"Do you want to go back or leave the palace?"
It seemed that as long as Xiangying said a word, he could still take a huge risk and send her away directly.

Xiangying smiled: "I'm going back to the prison, where the wind doesn't blow and the snow doesn't freeze. If I have nothing to do, I can just scold Lao Deng to relieve my anger. I feel comfortable."
Jie Chen could only laugh: "Okay, if you endure it for two more days, I won't let you continue to suffer in the cell."
"Also, I sent Skinny Monkey to secretly escort them all the way. Now the children are following Taoxue and the others, living safely in a remote village. No one knows their identities, so you can rest assured."
Xiangying knew that Jie Chen was omnipotent.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips.
Xie Chen's eyes were bright and he asked softly: "Is this a reward?"
"That's about it." Xiangying raised her hand and straightened his clothes, "Don't get hurt again while I'm away. Take care of yourself."
Xie Chen's heart moved, and he felt as if thousands of streams were pouring in, like spring.
He was just about to reach out and hug Xiangying, but like a swallow, she flew directly to the wall, and then jumped away with her agile figure, disappearing directly into the vast white snow.
Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.
This woman was so heartless that she didn't even look back at him.
It was clear that the two people were so intimate that it was beyond words.
Xie Chen was "satisfied" and now had time to deal with Ling Su.
He went back to his palace and changed his clothes. The palace maid was relieved when she noticed that he was back.
"Your Highness, where have you been? The Emperor has sent people to urge you several times."
"I'm not feeling well because of my injuries, so I'm going to rest for a while." After he finished speaking, the eldest maid couldn't say anything else.
After all, the emperor knew why Jie Chen was injured and would definitely not blame him.
The eldest palace maid led the way, while Xie Chen was sitting in a sedan. On the palace road, his sedan met the Lu Bandai's guard of honor.
Lu Peiyi was telling the guards around him: "Remember, don't rush to reprimand her after you find her, make sure she is safe first, and don't alarm the emperor for the time being."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Gui Chen.
When I met Jie Chen before, the other party ignored him and walked away without even looking at him.
Unexpectedly, this time, Jie Chen actually picked up the curtain with great interest, and glanced at him lightly with those dark and deep eyes, like a knife.
Lu Peiyi stared at him and stepped forward: "Your Highness, have you seen Xiang Ying?"
Just yesterday, Xie Chen's identity had been restored, and there was no problem in the palace calling him His Royal Highness.
It's just that Lu Beiyi's voice concealed inquiry.
Jie Chen raised his eyebrows meaningfully: "How do I know, she can't be in my arms?"
Lao Liu: You and your wife are Lao Liu, I really thank you
