The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

"This place really doesn't look like a place where people can hide? It stinks so much..." The second prince smelled the foul odor around him and felt extremely disgusted.

"It looks like an abandoned farm...there are even cages?" Fu Yunxiu agreed.

Lu Yingxing frowned and looked around. This was a courtyard that had been abandoned for many years near the imperial mausoleum in the suburbs of Beijing. It was formerly a temporary resting place for the workers who were building the mausoleum at that time. According to the eldest prince, there were three places that met the conditions specified by the lady.

The other two remote courtyards only have people sent out to check regularly once a month, but this place is an exception. Every three to five days, someone will come here at night. Their whereabouts are secretive, which further illustrates the unusualness of this place.

What is even more worrying is that those people also brought food, which was obviously prepared for living things...

All of this silently tells of the uniqueness of this place. Sometimes even he couldn't help but admire how delicate and far-reaching his wife's mind was. In fact, they all knew very well that how could the eldest prince alone easily find out the secrets of the palace?

Isn't this action of the lady an attempt to test and win over the queen?

Since the answer will be sent to them, it means that the queen already knows the bad things the emperor is going to do to the eldest prince. On one side is the woman who does not love her husband, and on the other side is her own son who is suppressed and persecuted by her husband. Obviously, the queen chooses to stand on their side.

Lu Yingxing sneered. In fact, as long as the lady didn't slack off, with her wisdom and means, why would she be trapped in this small Zhuo Palace? He was very fortunate to be favored by the goddess... Gently stroking the fish-shaped jade pendant hanging close to his body, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

The yard was shabby, with weeds all over the outside and dozens of cages piled up inside. He also agreed with what Fu Yunxiu said about it being a breeding farm. A strong odor could be smelled from a long distance away. The visitor had just come last night, so tonight should be the safest night.

He walked into one of the rooms. Some of the cages were empty, while others contained animals that had been dead for a long time. There were white bones, rotten flesh, and weeds growing on them. He really couldn't see that there could be any living things here.

He walked to the only tree in the yard and wondered why the emperor sent people to check here every few days. Could there be a secret room underground? It made sense. After all, the underground imperial mausoleum was not far away. He looked up in the direction of the imperial mausoleum.

Suddenly he discovered a small house on the edge of the yard, which seemed to be a toilet. He suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, leading him to walk over there.

"Hey! What are you doing over there?" The second prince's voice sounded from behind, but he ignored it. It was obvious that there was no one guarding here, but for some reason, her intuition told her that the secret was in this separate room.

He walked to the door. The tattered wooden door was ajar. The space inside was not big and there were no windows. He could see everything at a glance from outside. There was also an iron cage in the room. The cage was surrounded by half-human-high weeds, which blocked the view very well.

"Um……"

Suddenly a very weak groaning sound was heard, and Lu Yingxing was shocked. There were actually living creatures here?

He took out his sword and gently pushed open the wooden door. He then vaguely saw a figure curled up in the cage. It clearly didn't look like an animal, but actually a person!

Lu Yingxing's mind went blank as he stared at the thin figure. For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. This realization made him panic!

Seeing that he hadn't returned yet, Fu Yunxiu and the other two also came to the hut. Seeing the scene in front of them, they were all shocked and didn't know how to express themselves. They looked at each other: No way!!!

After a long time, Lu Yingxing clenched his fists and finally stepped forward. He walked to the cage and squatted down, and found that the man was still tied up with chains. His long hair was disheveled and tangled into dirty strands. Under his tattered clothes, he was so thin that his bones were visible, and his back was covered with scars, as if he had been scratched and bitten by some animal.

Enduring the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, he pushed open the door of the iron cage in the silence all around him. It was locked, as if the cage was sure that the person inside could not escape.

The chain was tied directly around his neck, like an animal.

Lu Yingxing tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart and gently pulled the man back. He seemed to be unconscious and just lay there. If he hadn't been able to see the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would have almost thought it was a corpse.

Fortunately, this figure is obviously not a woman. Fortunately... Fortunately, it is not his mother. Lu Yingxing kept repeating this sentence in his heart, as if to cheer himself up.

He reached out and brushed away the long hair on the man's face, revealing a thin, scarred, and haggard face. He stared at him for a long time. The man's outline always gave him a familiar feeling, but he was too thin and completely out of shape. For a moment, he couldn't match his face with anyone else's.

But when he saw the moon-shaped scar on his forearm, his dark eyes suddenly filled with a storm, and he couldn't stop the anger that made him want to destroy the world.

"Father!!!!"

Hearing his words, the Second Prince and his men rushed in immediately, their eyes full of disbelief. The legendary invincible Northland God of War was actually this person who was like a rag that would fall down at the slightest breeze! ?

Lu Yingxing's hand holding the hilt of the sword was shaking constantly, and he didn't even notice the blood flowing out. He forced himself to take deep breaths. He couldn't accept that his father, who he thought had died gloriously in battle for more than ten years, was actually tied up in a cage like an animal by that dog emperor! !

The half-moon scar was caused by his father who tried to save him when he almost bumped into a stove during childhood. He even joked that it was a gift from his son, and that when he saw the scar in the future, he would know that it was his father...

That confident, free-spirited, powerful man! In his heart, his father was like a god. What had he been through in these years? !

"Damn it! He deserves to die!!"

There has never been a moment when Lu Yingxing regretted his so-called plans as much as he does now. If he had ignored everything a few years earlier and directly led his troops to attack Luocheng, would his father not have suffered for so long?

But he had never been as grateful as he was now. He was grateful that his wife was Shen Yu, grateful that she cared about him, grateful for her persistence, and grateful for the so-called father-son bond. He knew that this was his father!

He silently cut the chain, carefully picked up the unconscious "person", and walked him out, tears falling silently.

"Um……"

Another very weak groaning sound was heard, and Lu Yingxing was shocked. The Second Prince and Fu Yunxiu were on guard on both sides.

As if sensing the change in environment, the person in his arms opened his eyes slightly. Lu Yingxing looked down. Those no longer clear eyes were blank, as if he had figured out his situation. His thin face covered with scars was suddenly filled with...sadness?

Lu Yingxing opened his mouth and tried hard to control his emotions. He was afraid of scaring the father in his arms. He was so thin that his weight was almost that of a child. He couldn't imagine how strong his willpower was to survive in this environment all these years.

"Father...I am Xing'er...I will take you home."

After saying this, he strode forward firmly. He began to regret not listening to his wife and taking the carriage. If he rode back on horseback, his father would suffer. But he did not dare to delay and had to leave immediately. He was determined again in his heart that he would listen to his wife in the future. If his wife told him to go east, he would never go west! !

After a long while, the person in his arms seemed to finally react. His body suddenly stiffened. He couldn't believe it at first, and then he closed his eyes in self-mockery. After so many years, he still dreamed of leaving one day?

All of this must be just a dream, just like before...
