Chapter 38: The Third Prince

Han Xu followed Aunt Xue, Qing'er gritted her teeth, picked up the guqin in the room, and followed.

Few people know that the guqin in Qing'er's arms is also a murderous weapon.

After making three turns and six turns, Han Xu found that there was a high wall in front of him and there was no road.

"Turn around." After Aunt Xue said, Han Xu and Qing'er both turned back, and then heard the sound of gears turning.

"alright."

When Han Xu turned back, he found a secret door opened on the original wall.

Behind the door, there is a cave, a small bridge, flowing water, rockeries, and pavilions.

In the pavilion, a man sat cross-legged with his back turned, looking at the stream in front of him.

"Master, we've brought you here." After Aunt Xue said that, she withdrew. After she left, the secret door closed automatically and turned into a rockery.

"Han Xu, Mr. Han." A hearty voice came from the front. From the sound of the voice, it seemed that the man was not old, no more than thirty.

It was also the first time for Qing'er to enter here. Her hands were always on the strings, and she concentrated on guarding the surroundings.

At this time, the man had turned around, and Han Xu looked around and saw a handsome young man standing in the pavilion. His eyes were as dazzling as the sun, and he naturally exuded an aura of transcendent confidence.

"Your Majesty, Han Xu, who is your Excellency?" Han Xu walked over with his head held high, as if he didn't pay attention to the person in front of him, but he had already guessed the identity of the person, but he didn't know where he ranked among the brothers.

However, no matter what the identity of the other party is, a dandy should act like a dandy.

"Me?" The man smiled, "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Wu Xiuxian."

"Wu Xiuxian? I seem to have heard this name somewhere." Han Xu looked like he was recalling it.

In fact, upon hearing this name, Han Xu immediately confirmed his identity.

The third prince of the Dawu Dynasty.

Qing'er reminded in a low voice behind Han Xu: "Young Master, this is His Highness the Third Prince."

Although Qing'er was shocked, she calmed down quickly because she was concerned about Han Xu's safety.

She had never thought that the third prince was standing behind the scenes of Wanhua Pavilion where she was being cultivated.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince?" Han Xu's face finally showed a look of surprise, which made Wu Xiuxian feel very satisfied.

So what if the son of a king with a different surname can be more noble than the prince?

However, I heard Han Xu say next: "It's so rude and disrespectful. I didn't expect that the Third Highness is also a member of the same class. He has countless beauties in the same pavilion. He is really a role model for our generation, a role model for our generation!"

"You..." Wu Xiuxian didn't expect that Han Xu would think of him as a covetous person, which was quite decent.

But then I thought about it, it was normal for a loser like Han Xu to have such thoughts. In his mind, there was probably nothing as big as Fengyue.

But the more useless Han Xu is, the easier it is for Wu Xiuxian to control him.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiuxian forgave Han Xu's rudeness very generously.

He said: "I heard that you want to redeem Qing'er's life?"

"Not bad." Han Xu admitted without hesitation. His purpose today was to take Qing'er away. Especially after seeing Qing'er's memory, he became more determined.

"As expected, he is a person who values ​​love and justice, Han Xu, I saw you right." Wu Xiuxian said with a smile, "Come, let's have a drink together."

Han Xu took Qing'er into the pavilion. The fragrant tea had already been brewed on the stone table. Han Xu sat down carelessly. Qing'er did not dare to do this and just stood half a meter behind Han Xu.

Wu Xiuxian glanced at Qing'er, and a strange color flashed deep in his eyes, which happened to be caught by Han Xu.

However, Han Xu acted as if he hadn't seen him. He probably knew that since Wu Xiuxian met him directly in his true identity, he was ready to make friends with him.

Although it was also to take advantage of the relationship between Han Xu and Han Luoling, for Han Xu, having another prince friend would always bring more advantages than disadvantages.

Therefore, Han Xu continued to pretend to be a playboy. He knew that the persona he had established over the years was exactly what these powerful people liked to see.

Because a playboy will not pose any threat to them.

"Mr. Han, I saw you at the wedding on the day of my father's wedding. I was very touched by the deep brother-sister relationship between you and Concubine Ling that day," Wu Xiuxian said.

"Hey, I made your Highness laugh. You also know my situation. Because I can't practice, I haven't been well-received at home since I was a child. My sister is the only one who treats me well."

"No wonder, speaking of it, your and my experiences are somewhat similar." After listening to Han Xu's story, Wu Xiuxian seemed to think of his own childhood.

Among the princes, he ranked third, neither above nor below. In addition, his mother and concubine were not favored, and her natal family had no power, so among the brothers, he was in a very embarrassing situation.

Over the years, if he hadn't worked hard to improve himself, Emperor Wu might not even bother to look at him.

Therefore, Han Xu's experience actually resonated with Wu Xiuxian's heart.

Unknowingly, he felt some sympathy for Han Xu, and when he looked at him again, he even felt a little close to him.

"What do you mean by this, Your Highness?" Han Xu asked, pretending not to know.

"Don't worry about small things." Wu Xiuxian obviously didn't want to talk about his past.

He took out an envelope from behind, handed it to Han Xu and said, "Strange to say, although this is the first time I meet Young Master Han, I feel like I feel like old friends at first sight."

"What is contained in this envelope is Miss Qing'er's deed of prostitution, given to you."

"Your Highness is straightforward. Name a price." Han Xu grabbed the envelope and opened it eagerly. It was indeed Qing'er's indenture contract.

Qing'er saw it behind Han Xu. She didn't know what she felt in her heart. She was excited, expectant, and a little nervous.

When Wu Xiuxian heard it, he pretended to be angry and said, "Mr. Han, this seems strange. I just hit it off with you and want to make friends with you."

"Besides, I also know that Mr. Han was kind to Qing'er when he was young." Wu Xiuxian looked at Qing'er and asked, "Qing'er, am I right?"

Qing'er and Han Xu were both shocked. They didn't expect Wu Xiuxian to know about this matter. It seems that he had investigated Qing'er a long time ago.

Qing'er nodded and whispered, "Your Highness is right."

After that, she glanced at Han Xu nervously, but she could only see the back of Han Xu's head.

Wu Xiuxian nodded, then turned to Han Xu and said, "From your expression, you must have forgotten it yourself."

"It's rare that Your Highness still remembers these little things." Han Xu said.

Wu Xiuxian said: "Although I was born in an imperial family, I am also a sentimental person. My greatest hobby is to help others achieve their goals, so Qing'er will be handed over to you, Mr. Han."

"But Qing'er is the most beautiful lady in Wanhua Pavilion, and I can't let Your Highness suffer."

"Although the most beautiful lady is worth a fortune, in my opinion, friendship is even more priceless. If Mr. Han refuses again, it means he doesn't respect me."

Han Xu really stopped refusing and put the envelope into his pocket. He said to Wu Xiuxian: "Your Highness's kindness will be remembered in my heart. If you have any instructions in the future, I will do my best as long as I can do it."

"Mr. Han is too polite. If you don't mind, you can call me big brother in the future, and we can visit each other more often."

"I dare not climb up, otherwise I will be laughed at by outsiders." Han Xu answered quickly, but he was very surprised in his heart.

The first time they met, not only did he send the most beautiful lady, but he also called him brother. This was a determination to tie Han Xu to his warship.

Such a fast pace may not be too exaggerated.

Such investment requires great courage.

"Haha, Mr. Han is joking. How dare anyone look down on Mr. Han?"

However, Wu Xiuxian did not continue to force it. After all, the two had just met for the first time. He said this just to leave a good impression first.

So, a marginal prince of the imperial family and a waste abandoned child of the princely family, two people in similar situations sat together harmoniously.

The two talked for a long time before Han Xu took Qing'er away. Before leaving, he had a satisfied smile on his face.

After Han Xu left, an old man came to the pavilion.

Wu Xiuxian said: "Teacher, I did everything you said, but I don't understand why the teacher is so optimistic about this waste."

"Don't worry, your highness. Although Han Xu is a waste, his sister will soar to the sky. Your highness just needs to wait patiently. Today's investment will only bring unimaginable returns in the future."
