It's great, another day of lying down and idling in the palace

Ruirui nestled in King Zhao's arms and managed to catch her breath, then hurriedly said:

"Father, that old man tried to pinch my face. He wanted to catch me and my brothers after we ran away. He must be a human trafficker!"

The old prince's servant knelt on the ground, kowtowed and wailed: "Young Master, you misunderstood, you misunderstood. Our prince really just thought that you were cute and wanted to talk to you."

"Did I misunderstand?"

The servant quickly replied: "Yes, it was just a misunderstanding."

Ruirui wrapped her soft little arms around King Zhao's neck and lowered her head to ask:

"Father, if you saw a child and the child was scared by you and ran away, would you send people to catch the child in a vicious way?"

King Zhao: ...

He wouldn't be so bored as to bother a child.

Rui Rui turned around and asked, "Fourth Uncle, if you met me on the road and I was scared away by you, would you send people to chase me and chase me as far as possible to catch me?"

Fourth uncle, King Lie: ...

Why does this sound a bit weird?

But he understood that something was wrong and secretly praised the child for being so alert.

Rui Rui urged, "Let's go find my two brothers. My second and third brothers have been captured. What if they are put in a pig cage after we go there?"

As he spoke, he directed them in the direction they should go.

When the servants of Prince Ping saw that the two princes were about to come over, someone immediately wanted to run and report to the old prince in advance, but was pushed to the ground by Prince Zhao's men.

"be honest"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am innocent!"

The man shouted in panic, but no one heard him.

Maybe even if he heard it, he pretended not to hear it.

Just like Ruirui just now.

At Ruirui's urging, the group went over.

On the way, King Lie thought more and more that something was wrong, and finally asked, "Why is it a pig cage?"

Rui Rui looked confused: "Ah! I don't know either. I just heard my mother talking about it. She said that he was caught and thrown into a pig cage."

King Lie was still confused: "Why did she say this for no reason?"

King Zhao secretly laughed in his heart. Seeing Yun Qing was so calm in front of him on weekdays, it turned out that he also knew that he would be thrown into a pig cage if he was caught?

Even though it has come to this, you still don't honestly cut off contact with those people. You are really too bold.

But King Zhao always believed that family disgrace should not be made public, so when faced with King Lie's doubts, he calmly said, "Perhaps you think that if someone commits adultery, he will inevitably be thrown into the pig cage, right?"

The adulterer, King Lie: "..."

He knows it!

It is really not easy to get the child back. If he was not his only biological son, he would not have been easily caught by the third brother.

Damn Zeng Xiaoxiao, damn Zeng Cheng!

However, King Lie was not a thin-skinned person. He said thick-skinnedly: "If someone can't do it, don't blame them for trying too hard!"

This is a secret mockery of King Zhao's incompetence. The child born by someone else is indeed his own offspring, so he is still powerful.

King Zhao: ...

"It's true that I'm trying too hard" and I've worked so hard that I've reached other people's homes.

The atmosphere between the two was tense.

They were about to say something, but they shut up instantly when they saw Ruirui looking forward anxiously, glancing at them from time to time while talking.

It’s better not to say such things in front of children.

Even though King Zhao was holding a child in his arms, he walked the entire time easily and without any pressure.

In addition, Ruirui kept urging them, and they would hurry up if they were a step slower, so in less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the place Ruirui pointed out to them.

When they arrived at the place, Ruirui sat on King Zhao's strong and durable arms. From a distance, he saw his two younger brothers having their limbs tightly restrained by four or five servants.

At this time, the old prince was reaching out his hand to grope the tender little face of the third brother, while Nanny Liu and the maid Qingtuan were tied to the side.

Seeing this situation, King Zhao's expression changed instantly without Ruirui saying anything.

In the blink of an eye, Ruirui fell into King Lie's arms.

He didn't care about anything else, and quickly pulled King Lie's clothes with his little hand to look at his two little brothers.

At this time, King Zhao was standing there holding a child in one hand, and the servants were lying on the ground crying out, and the old prince was also kicked to the ground.

The servants led by King Zhao interrogated them quickly, and soon one of them could not stand the pressure:

"Yes, it was Madam Qu who forced me to help. I was forced!"

Mrs. Qu?

King Zhao did not know this person, but he remembered that there was indeed an official named Qu in the court.

At this time, the old prince stood up with difficulty, pointed at Prince Zhao, and said angrily: "You little brat, you dare to attack me!"

King Zhao didn't even blink and kicked him again: "Old uncle, I was not careful and my foot slipped."

Ruirui climbed down quickly, but was picked up by the quick-eyed and quick-handed King Lie.

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to find my brother and father."

"We don't need your help over there, just stay here quietly and don't go over there or get caught again."

As King Lie spoke, he thought that his new clothes must have been wrinkled and dirty. He saw the third son become like this after holding the baby and laughed at him.

Looking at the child in his arms, King Lie said: "Have you gained weight? Why are you so heavy? I can't tell you have so much flesh."

Ruirui said quickly: "I have grown taller."

I'm not gaining weight.

While he was speaking, he was still looking at the scene over there, and he felt relieved when he saw that everyone was fine.

When his gaze turned back, Ruirui glanced casually and suddenly pointed in a direction and said, "Fourth Uncle, there seems to be someone over there!"

who?

King Lie frowned slightly, but he knew that the kid was not a liar, so he looked over there.

There did seem to be a furtive figure over there, hidden by the trees.

Seeing that the man was about to run away, King Lie raised his hand and threw the fan he carried with him over, instantly hitting the other person.

By the time the man realized what was happening and covered his aching head, he had already missed the best opportunity to escape.

He was captured and brought before several people.

King Lie walked over holding Ruirui and saw the man's true face.

When they saw the person, everyone present was stunned.

"County Lieutenant Ji, why are you here?"

This person was none other than Ji Yunqing's biological father, Master Ji.

It turned out that when Mr. Ji was in the capital, he often urged Madam Ji to go to Prince Zhao's Mansion, which was very annoying.

Later, King Zhao sent him to a county near the outskirts of Beijing to serve as a county lieutenant.

The local county magistrate was an upright and somewhat irritable official who was very difficult to talk to.

This man was big and strong, a head taller and two circles bigger than Master Ji, which made Master Ji look petite and delicate.

Getting the person over there really saved King Zhao a lot of trouble.

King Lie could recognize him at a glance because he had put in a lot of effort in order to poach King Zhao and obtain important information about him.

but……

King Zhao was confused and asked, "Why are you here?"

According to this person's status and rank, he shouldn't come to the palace to attend the New Year's Eve banquet, right?

This time it was stipulated that only officials of the fourth rank and above could bring their families into the palace. This Master Ji was just a small county lieutenant and not even from the capital's government office.
