Chapter 410 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 21
Ling Xi sat in the carriage and removed the cartilage powder that the man had put on her.

Now, according to Ling Xi's guess, Zhao Ping should send her to the Second Prince of Nanxiao.

She had seen news about the Second Prince of Nanxiao in the documents from Zhou Shengchen.

Xiao Wen, the second prince of Nan Xiao, had a mother who was the most beloved concubine of Emperor Nan Xiao. Therefore, although Xiao Wen was not the crown prince, he had always been the most beloved son of Emperor Nan Xiao. Although he was not the crown prince, his status was not much different from that of the crown prince.

The second prince was also talented in both civil and military affairs, elegant, gentle and affectionate. He had many wives and concubines in his mansion and was a very romantic figure.

Once, Ling Xi couldn't help but compare him with Zhou Shengchen.

Xiao Wen and Zhou Shengchen are both members of the royal family, but their status and treatment are worlds apart.

Xiao Wen is a highly respected and much-loved prince of Southern Xiao. His father does whatever he wants and gives him whatever he wants. He holds him in his hands for fear of dropping him, and holds him in his mouth for fear of melting him.

But Zhou Shengchen was forced to give up his royal surname and was expelled from the royal family. He had to fight in the battlefield at the age of thirteen and despite his countless military achievements, he was still feared by the people in Zhongzhou.

Since Zhou Shengchen admires the Second Prince of Nanxiao very much, she can try to cooperate with the Second Prince once.

After all, Xiao Wen probably didn't want the war to continue.

The carriage stopped after a while.

Ling Xi was pulled down from the carriage by people sent by Zhao Ping.

Then, the man went to knock on the door and told the people in the Second Prince's courtyard that there was a gift from General Zhao Ping for the Second Prince, congratulating him on the successful peace talks.

Afterwards, after the visitor agreed, Ling Xi was brought in.

During this time, Ling Xi did not resist and behaved very obediently. Everything went incredibly smoothly.

Ling Xi was taken to a room and sat on the bed. A maid said to her, "Please wait a moment, young lady. The second prince will be here soon."

Ling Xi felt that this matter was going too smoothly. The Second Prince actually accepted her sent by Zhao Ping so easily without any intention of rejection.

Could it be that the Second Prince is really a playboy who loves beauty more than anything else?

Ling Xi felt that this was not right. Even if he liked beautiful women, he couldn't be so unguarded.

Unless, Xiao Wen did it on purpose.

He was deliberately deceiving Zhao Ping.

He discovered something wrong with Zhao Ping and even found out what he did in private.

So, he also wanted to get rid of Zhao Ping, who was blocking his way.

A gleam of light flashed in Ling Xi's eyes. If that was the case, she would have more confidence in cooperating with the second prince.

After a while, the voices of maids bowing could be heard from outside: "Greetings, Second Prince."

Ling Xi straightened her clothes, clutching the medicine powder and a sharp hairpin in her hand, and immediately hid behind the door.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Ling Xi felt a little nervous, and the strength of the hand holding the hairpin became stronger.

Xiao Wen strode into the room. He wanted to see what the beauty Zhao Ping sent looked like, but when he saw that there was no one in the room, he frowned.

Just when he was about to ask someone to look for it, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, catching him off guard.

Xiao Wen secretly said that it was not good, but it was too late.

The medicinal effect of the aroma took effect quickly, and his body suddenly became weak. He held on to the table, barely supporting himself.

"Don't move, Second Prince."

At this moment, a hairpin was placed across his neck, as if strangling his throat. With just a little force, the sharp hairpin would pierce into his neck, and then his blood would gush out.

Ling Xi kept an eye on Xiao Wen's movements. Even though she had drugged him, she was still not at ease. Being held hostage, Xiao Wen actually started to laugh.

This was the first time for Xiao Wen that he stumbled. It was really strange.

Zhao Ping was really brave to send such a person over.

Therefore, he was very curious about what the person who was threatening him looked like, not to mention that this person was a woman.

He glanced sideways at the person next to him, and when he saw that familiar stunning face, Xiao Wen's pupils constricted and a look of disbelief flashed across his face.

Ling Xi looked up at Xiao Wen. The man in front of her was very handsome, with a pair of charming and unrestrained eyes. When he looked at people, he seemed to be filled with boundless affection.

However, Ling Xi clearly saw Xiao Wen's shocked expression when he saw her, which made her confused.

This was the first time she met the Second Prince, but why did the Second Prince seem to know her?

Also, she could feel that she had a familiar feeling towards the Second Prince, and she really wanted to get close to him.

This is so abnormal.

At this moment, Xiao Wen spoke. His voice was very low, as if he was suppressing some deep emotions. He asked, "Who are you?"

Ling Xi put her hairpin against his throat, and did not hide her identity: "Nanchen Royal Army doctor, Ling Xi."

Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Xiao Wen became even more excited.

"Excuse me, young lady, is this the Xi in Chenxi?"

Ling Xi looked at Xiao Wen in confusion, and exerted some strength with her hands, and the hairpin moved one step forward.

She replied coldly: "So what?"

Xiao Wen no longer cared about his weak body. He grabbed Ling Xi's clothes again, his eyes full of anticipation, as if he was expecting something very important: "Excuse me, young lady, do you have a green jade pendant with the word Xi engraved on it?"

This time, it was Ling Xi's turn to be at a loss.

She subconsciously asked back: "How do you know?"

She has been wearing this jade pendant since she was a child. It was left to her by her parents, who she didn't know.

Apart from her and the old doctor, no one knew that she had this jade pendant, not even the people in Nanchen Palace knew about it.

After hearing the accurate answer, Xiao Wen actually laughed while covering his face, muttering: "Found it, found it."

Ling Xi no longer needed to hold Xiao Wen horizontally with the hairpin. Things had come to this point, how could she not understand?

This Xiao Wen should probably be her relative.

Judging from his age, he is her brother.

Then isn’t she the daughter of Concubine Xiao Wen and Emperor Nan Xiao?
The next question is, since she came from such a prominent family, how was she thrown into the wilderness?

Doesn’t the Nanxiao royal family want her as a daughter?
A lot of questions were clogging her mind, and she really wanted to know the answers.

Also, if she was a member of the Nanxiao royal family, wouldn’t she and Zhou Shengchen become rivals?

Ling Xi took out a pill and handed it to Xiao Wen: "Take it, it's the antidote."

Xiao Wen had no doubt at all and swallowed the medicine without hesitation.

Then, he turned his gaze to her and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?"

Ling Xi stared at him: "Except for the person who picked me up, no one knows that I have this jade pendant. Besides, I believe you."
