After they finished their lunch, they bid farewell at the east gate.

However, the moment Mu Chuyang saw that Xiu Huang and Duan Yunfei were the only ones left, he could not help but want to follow Duan Yunfei into the palace.

Duan Yunfei turned her head and saw Xiu Huang standing at the side. The latter smiled at her, as if the two of them were real friends.

When Xiao Yang heard his princess' words, his heart tightened and he became secretly vigilant.

Had the princess not forgotten about Sir Xiu Heng?

Xiu Huang also seemed to be surprised by Duan Yunfei's question, as the three of them involuntarily stopped in their tracks.

"Does Thirteenth Princess want to hear what I know, or does everyone in Xiliang know about it?"

"What's the difference between the two?" Duan Yunfei's voice was filled with surprise.

Xiu Huang crossed his hands behind his back, and his line of sight landed on a nearby fake mountain.

"If all the citizens of the Xiliang knew about it, the princess should also know that for the past three years, he had faced all of you with gentleness."

"If that's the case, then His Highness Xiu Huang seems to be such a person as well." Duan Yunfei let out a light laugh, and stood in place as her gaze moved between the two of them.

"Indeed, I seem to be following my royal brother's path right now. However, if the princess wishes to hear the words of her elder brother in my eyes, I can only say that I am different from her. "

Xiu Huang lowered his eyes and looked at the ground. There were a few leaves that had just landed, emitting a golden glow under the sunlight.

"In my eyes, my royal brother is a very ambitious person. matriarch wholeheartedly wanted to gift me to the throne, so he didn't hesitate to kill royal brother's mother. But what matriarch didn't know was, how could Xiu Heng be someone who would be knocked down just like that. I know that my relationship with my royal brother may have already reached the point where there is no way to reverse it, so when Yuwen Di ordered for me to be sent to the Jin Country in place of my royal brother, I immediately agreed. "

After Duan Yunfei heard this, a scene suddenly flashed past her mind.

At that time, Duan Yunfei already had a favorable impression of Xiu Heng. Thus, without bringing along Xiao Yang's situation, she went to the Yusong Institute to find Xiu Heng.

Only, he didn't expect that Duan Yunfei would see Xiu Heng being bullied by the Fifth Prince.

At that time, Duan Yunfei was still young, and did not know how to hide her temper. Upon seeing someone she liked being bullied, she immediately rushed out without saying a word.

After chasing the Fifth Prince away, Duan Yunfei suddenly lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Xiu Heng's face.

Xiu Heng should have noticed her shyness, so he did not say much and only handed over a handkerchief, indicating for Duan Yunfei to wipe the stains on his face.

At that time, the handkerchief was already dirty, Duan Yunfei planned to give it back to Xiu Heng after washing it clean.

It was only when she found the handkerchief that she had given to Xiu Heng in a tree that Duan Yunfei vaguely understood a bit about Xiu Heng.

"Royal Brother has always been an expert on the surface. Although the matriarch treats him badly, no one could tell on the surface. Even father was fooled by him. " Xiu Huang's tone seemed to be full of respect for Xiu Heng, but it also seemed to be a little dissatisfied.

"Then how did you know?"

"Because I never underestimate my royal brother." Xiu Huang had a slight smile on his face when he said this. Although Duan Yunfei couldn't see it, she could hear some of it from his tone.

"You seem to know him very well."

"In the entire Xiliang, perhaps other than royal brother herself, I am the only one who knows what he is thinking. When matriarch killed the Empress, I knew that royal brother would think of a way to return to the Xiliang. I just didn't expect that royal brother would meet the princess in the Jin Country. "

"Although Princess is asking about the state Xiu Heng was like before he came to Jin Country, I know that Princess has always been unable to get past that hurdle. I believe that I understand my royal brother well enough. In my opinion, my royal brother isn't suitable for you. "

Xiu Huang's words were spoken with sincerity, so much so that even Xiao Yang could hear it.

But saying it was one thing and doing it was another.

"But Your Highness Xiu Huang is different from Xiu Heng. No wonder you were treated like that by Ah Yuan. If His Highness Xiu Huang was not a proton sent by Xiliang, I am afraid he would have gotten a very high evaluation in our Jin Country. "

"The princess praises you. As for the treatment of the Miss Left that the princess has mentioned, Xiu Huang is truly unwilling to accept it. "

As he said that, Xiu Huang seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became somewhat difficult.

"Whether or not I accept this, it seems like it's better if His Highness Xiu Huang told him. It's getting late, let's hurry back to our chambers. " After Duan Yunfei finished speaking, she walked forward with large strides. Xiao Yang was startled for a moment, then quickly followed.

Xiu Huang followed closely behind, and after letting out a light laugh, followed at a leisurely pace.
