After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 458 Luo Hanfeng: I'm capable

Luo Huaichuan smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "The Yin family is one of the four great families. They were not in Shengjing before, but now that Miss Yin has come to Shengjing, in terms of status and position, she is a top noble lady in the capital."

Upon hearing this, Xie Mingzhu tightened her grip on the wine glass.

A shadow crossed her eyes.

If it weren't for this farce, she would have been the most noble lady in Shengjing.

Now they are like rats crossing the street, hated by everyone, yet they still have to bear the identity of others.

How could Xie Mingzhu accept this?

Wait, wait.

As long as she waits until the plan is successfully implemented and Luo Hanfeng ascends the throne ahead of schedule, she can become the most honored woman in the world.

Whether her identity remains undiscovered or is discovered, she will always be the most noble woman in the world.

No one else can ever compete with her for it.

Luo Huaichuan only sat there for a short while. His arrival made the atmosphere stiff. Luo Huaichuan knew this perfectly well. He chatted casually for a few minutes, then sat up and said with a smile, "In that case, I won't bother you sisters any longer."

Before leaving, Luo Huaichuan gave Yin Ruyu a look, and then left.

Yin Ruyu met Luo Huaichuan's gaze and paused for a moment.

What does the Sixth Prince mean by that look in his eyes?

Did he discover something?

The Second Princess watched Luo Huaichuan's departing figure and snorted coldly, "Consort Lin's children are always so clueless."

The second princess's mother was the daughter of a military family and held the rank of concubine in the palace. However, she had no sons and thus had little presence in the harem.

The second princess and the fifth princess have been at odds since childhood, the second princess being unhappy that the fifth princess steals the spotlight and attracts the attention of the imperial grandmother.

Apart from her mother, neither her father nor her grandmother favored her much.

How could the second princess not hate this?

Xie Mingzhu naturally knew about the Second Princess's affairs. She had become quite familiar with the princesses and princes in the palace and was well aware of the Second Princess's situation.

She used to look down on the Second Princess, but now she wants to use the Second Princess's status to freely enter and leave the palace.

It was easy for Xie Mingzhu to please her.

With a smile on her face, she poured a cup of tea for the second princess: "The fifth princess is simple-minded and loves to indulge in pleasure, so she has picked up some bad habits."

"If the Second Princess dislikes her, she can make a big fuss about this and cause the Fifth Princess to lose His Majesty's favor."

"Oh?" A glint flashed in the Second Princess's eyes.

Xie Mingzhu simply smiled slightly.

Yin Ruyu glanced at Xie Mingzhu, her smile unchanged, but she had new thoughts about Xie Mingzhu in her heart.

It seems this former dynasty princess wasn't entirely stupid after all.

He seems to have some cunning; how could he possibly lose to someone like Xie Xing?

……

"yawn!"

Xie Xing was grilling meat when he suddenly felt a chill on his back and sneezed.

She rubbed her nose, turned to look at Luo Hanfeng sitting on the stone bench eating her grilled meat, and asked suspiciously, "You wouldn't be talking about me behind my back, would you?"

Luo Hanfeng was speechless: "So, who insulted me, me or me?"

He scolded the man for over an hour while the meat was grilling.

At first, Luo Hanfeng was extremely angry, but he quickly adapted.

Pretend you didn't hear it.

Go ahead and scold me, a beating is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love, if we don't scold each other we don't love each other.

Thinking this way, Luo Hanfeng took another bite of the meat on the signature.

Xie Xing's grilled meat has a very unique flavor; Luo Hanfeng has never tasted grilled meat with such a flavor before.

It's so delicious that you'll want to eat it again.

Thinking this, Luo Hanfeng reached out to Xie Xing, "I want more."

Xie Xing stared wide-eyed at Luo Hanfeng in disbelief.

She looked Luo Hanfeng up and down. During the day, he looked like he was seriously injured and about to die, but now he was sitting in front of her and asking her for barbecue.

She handed the roasted meat to Luo Han with a disgruntled expression.

Eat, eat, eat until you drop!

[Eating while injured? Does she really think barbecue is some kind of super nutritious food?]

Xie Xing thought to himself, "What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this thought, Luo Hanfeng paused, put down the roasted meat in his hand, and changed his mind, "I'm full, I'm not eating anymore."

Xie Xing: "..."

She rolled her eyes at Luo Hanfeng, annoyed.

Xie Xing walked over, snatched the grilled meat from in front of Luo Hanfeng, sat down opposite Luo Hanfeng, and asked, "Now that your master knows I have the Heart-Eating Gu, I definitely can't stay here any longer. What do you plan to do?"

"Just send me back. What good will it do you to keep me around? I might even betray you when you're not looking."

Luo Hanfeng's expression darkened: "Don't even think about going back to Jun Lanjin's side."

Xie Xing's face also fell.

"How important do you think you are to him?" Luo Hanfeng sneered. "If I'm not mistaken, you have a Gu curse on you from someone else, don't you?"

Xie Xing tightened his grip on the skewer.

Luo Hanfeng added, "This Gu can not only cure the Heart-Eating Gu, but it can also let people know your location."

“Jun Lanjin has someone around him who knows your location, and you’ve been here for so long, yet he hasn’t sent anyone to look for you. This means that you are dispensable to him.”

"Doesn't he consider what I would do to you if you fell into my hands?"

As Luo Hanfeng spoke, he began to stroke Xie Xing's hand, which was resting on his knee.

He had a slight smile on his lips, but his eyes were incredibly cold, making him look extremely irritating.

Xie Xing was speechless.

She stabbed Luo Hanfeng in the chest with her elbow.

Caught off guard, Luo Hanfeng was struck by her elbow, which directly punctured his wound, causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Xie Xing said irritably, "You're already like this, what are you pretending for?"

"Do you really want them to come knocking on your door? Please, with your current injuries, even I could easily take you down." Xie Xing held a skewer of grilled meat in one hand, while poking Luo Hanfeng's chest with the fingers of the other hand.

With each poke, Luo Hanfeng's face grew paler.

Without him.

It touched a nerve.

Seeing this, Xie Xing rolled his eyes: "If you can't do it, don't force yourself."

This sentence must have touched a nerve with Luo Hanfeng. Despite the pain, he grabbed Xie Xing's hand, pulled her close, and said earnestly, "No, I'm fine."

Xie Xing: ...

She laughed angrily.

Luo Hanfeng was determined not to release her, and Xie Xing could no longer sit idly by and wait for her to die.

When Luo Hanfeng was not around, she started wandering around the Yama Palace again.

However, she was smarter this time; she didn't go to places she shouldn't have and avoided people.

As for the spies in the shadows, she used the excuse of going to the restroom to shake them off.

After these people realized they couldn't find Xie Xing, Xie Xing had already started wandering around the Yama Palace.

She needs to find a way out.

Xie Xing refused to believe that there wasn't a single path in such a vast Yama's Palace that didn't pass through a killing formation.

Just as Xie Xing turned around to find his way, he bumped into someone.
