Who says the prince is weak and can't take care of himself?

Chapter 138 I’m doing this for your master’s sake

Zong Sheng followed him to the small kitchen without saying anything.

The three of them carried the food boxes from the small kitchen back to the side hall, where they set out a table full of buns. Suddenly, they all laughed at the same time. It was really very simple.

Chi Yue took a bite of the bun and asked, "Did Wang Tangyi speak?"

Last night, after Qi Xiao finished interrogating Qian Chong, he did not rush to interrogate Wang Tangyi. Instead, he locked him up in a dark cell overnight and asked Zong Sheng to interrogate him today.

Zong Sheng shook his head.

"Why don't I go? Even if Wang Tang is thick-skinned and tough, he will be honest." Chi Yue smiled, feeling very confident.

Zong Sheng looked at him, waiting for Bai Xiqiao to speak.

"So, Mr. Li has confessed everything?"

Chi Yue was still smiling: "This...it's inconvenient to say more."

"Your Highness, won't you tell me even if asked?"

Chi Yue smiled and continued eating buns.

Bai Xiqiao sneered. How could he trust this person?

"You really don't need my help? I can't get any information from Wang Tangyi, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to His Highness?" Chi Yue asked Zong Sheng again.

Zong Sheng shook his head: "It's okay, Master. Just lock up Wang Tangyi."

Chi Yue raised an eyebrow. What was Qi Xiao planning? Qian Chong's testimony was to be thoroughly investigated that night, but Wang Tangyi wasn't in a hurry. Was it enough to just lock him up?

Bai Xiqiao's fingers tapped the table twice unconsciously and said, "Don't worry about anything that His Highness hasn't instructed you to do."

Chi Yue glanced at Bai Xiqiao and chuckled, "That's true. But since His Highness has been staying out all night, I can't say anything or ask anything."

Bai Xiqiao's mouth twitched. Chi Yue's words seemed to pierce his lungs, making his chest ache with anger. Qi Xiao was becoming increasingly daring. After returning from the West Palace, he went straight to the Huaxi Villa, and Bai Xiqiao couldn't catch him. This couldn't go on any longer.

The bun that Bai Xiqiao had just bitten halfway through was no longer tasty. He couldn't eat it anymore and was almost choked to death by Chi Yue. He threw the bun away and walked out.

Chi Yue couldn't help laughing, which made Zong Sheng sigh.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Zong Sheng pressed his eyebrows. Chi Yue was just bored and wanted to find something to do.

"I'm doing this for your master's own good." Chi Yue held up his chin and looked at Zong Sheng. "There are so many people in the guild hall, it's only a matter of time before he's discovered staying at Huaxi Villa every night. Even if Your Majesty doesn't say anything, others won't say anything good about it. If it were in Fuzhou, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu could do as he pleased, but in Yuanjing City, a few words could kill him."

Zong Sheng understood all of this; he was used to following orders and obeying orders, and he completely trusted Qi Xiao to know his limits. Zong Sheng glanced at Chi Yue, who smiled at him. Zong Sheng was silent for a moment and asked, "Since you're doing this for my own good, why don't you go to Huaxi Villa yourself? With your Qinggong skills, you won't alert anyone." If he encouraged Bai Xiqiao to go, he might get into a fight with Ye Huai, which would only lead to unnecessary trouble.

Chi Yue laughed out loud: "You are usually very frugal with words, why are you exposing me now?"

Chi Yue smiled happily, his eyebrows curved. Maybe it was because of the alcohol, but his face was flushed, and even the mole under the corner of his eye was smiling, which was very pleasing.

Zong Sheng looked at Chi Yue and almost wanted to ask him what had happened in the past few years. What did he mean by the words he said last time when he got drunk and cried so sadly? If he asked, would he tell him?

"Huh? What are you thinking about?"

Zong Sheng shook his head, but didn't ask what he wanted to ask. He avoided the question and said, "You encouraged Bai Xiqiao to come to me. Did Li Sheng tell me something?"

Chi Yue tilted his head and smiled, then made a silent gesture: "Shh."

Zong Sheng nodded slightly, it seems that the methods of Tiance Camp are still effective.

"Young Master." Ye Huai knocked on the door.

Tang Ling responded, thinking Huang Zexian was looking for him for something, but when she saw Qi Xiao sighing silently, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Xiao heard someone climbing over the eaves and walls into the inner courtyard of Huaxi Villa. If it was Chi Yue, the noise would be smaller and harder to detect. "It must be Baixiqiao coming."

"Then I must be looking for you for something. Go back."

Qi Xiao frowned slightly. Maybe something happened to Baixi Bridge, or maybe nothing happened at all. But if he went back, he might not be able to come out again tonight.

Tang Ling seemed to understand Qi Xiao's expression and said with a smile, "Go back. You've been busy for several days and it's time to take a good rest. Come back tomorrow, I'll wait for you."

Qi Xiao looked at Tang Ling reluctantly. He didn't know why he became so clingy and obsessed with Tang Ling, but he just didn't want to be separated from him, not even for a moment.

Tang Ling raised her head and kissed Qi Xiao, then said again: "Go back."

Without waiting for Qi Xiao to say anything, Tang Ling pulled Qi Xiao to open the door. Sure enough, Bai Xiqiao was at the door, standing behind Ye Huai, with his hands behind his back and a serious expression, just like a master about to give a lecture.

Qi Xiao turned around and hugged Tang Ling gently. Even though he didn't do anything inappropriate, Bai Xiqiao still let out a light hum.

"Brother, why are you looking for me so anxiously? Is there something wrong?"

Qi Xiao and Bai Xiqiao climbed over the wall and left Huaxi Villa. Taking advantage of the night to avoid people, they headed back towards Yangxizhai.

"Xiao'er, you are a prince and a lord after all. Is it fun to be a thief every night?"

Qi Xiao chuckled. The flower thief was quite interesting, but he didn't dare say it out loud for fear that Bai Xiqiao would beat him.

"Still laughing!" Bai Xiqiao was furious, but knowing he couldn't win over Qi Xiao, he didn't bother to repeat the same old things. He sighed and said, "Just think of it as Tang Ling's reputation and restrain yourself a bit."

"Brother, I understand."
