The cannon fodder fake prince at the beginning, I won by hugging thighs

"Okay, as usual, send him to the dungeon and lock him up for a few days, and he will behave himself.

Well, I was wearing ordinary fine cotton, so I didn’t need to change clothes.

After you get out of the dungeon, you can wash yourself properly."

This part was not in the original plot. When Yan Jiao was sent out of the palace, he was wearing the usual clothes of the princes.

The pattern is not very fancy, but the material is really good satin.

Master Shen recognized him at a glance.

He immediately ordered someone to change Yan Jiao's clothes, and then discovered that Yan Jiao was a girl.

There was no such thing as being sent to the dungeon.

But it’s a good thing this way, as it makes it much easier for Lu Jiao to do something.

At this time, the rotten vegetable leaves on the palace road might have been discovered by someone.

The facts were similar to what Lu Jiao had guessed.

Before, it was just some things that were lost, but this time, a living person was lost, and he was a prince.

Regardless of whether this prince is favored or not, losing him in the palace would be tantamount to a slap in the face of the emperor.

When the emperor was angry, everyone below him trembled with fear.

The commander-in-chief had a bad feeling that his career as an official might be coming to an end.

And Concubine Shu used this as an excuse to stay in a side hall of the Qianqing Palace and refused to leave.

Although the emperor knew that Concubine Shu was taking advantage of the situation, it was difficult for him to chase her away, after all, her child was lost.

Maybe she has a change of heart and is really anxious!

Therefore, the emperor vented his anger on his court officials.

At the noon court meeting, all the ministers who submitted memorials were scolded by the emperor, especially the captain of the imperial guard who was responsible for keeping an eye on the second prince.

The captain was also cursing in his heart at this time.

He thought it was just a small matter like investigating a traitor. Maybe he could bring down a few people and promote two of his trusted confidants to fill the gaps.

Who knew that it would lead to such a scandal as fratricide among royal brothers!

The Second Prince's action was not secretive, but the route was complicated, and the people in charge of the first section and the second section had never met each other.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief quickly found the two servants who were sent out at the beginning and the soldiers who released the water at the city gate.

But it was almost impossible to find out quickly what the person they were in contact with looked like and where the Ninth Prince was sent.

Fortunately, he is the ninth prince.

Otherwise, if it were the Eighth Princess, for the sake of the royal family's reputation, it would be impossible to investigate openly, and the difficulty would be increased.

The commander-in-chief comforted himself in this way and strode off to interrogate the criminals.

Xiao Wenzi was also arrested.

He had only recently started serving the Ninth Prince, and Lu Jiao had looked for him in a big way before.

Everyone in the side hall of the Golden Throne Hall could testify for him that Lu Jiao left alone.

The commander-in-chief knew with a little thought that even if this little Wenzi was really involved, he would know very little.

None of them can be considered accomplices or direct participants.

At most, he is just an insider.

He had no intention of interrogating Xiao Wenzi from the beginning, but simply locked him up in a cell in the Imperial Guards barracks.

Apart from three meals a day, no one paid any attention to him.

Xiao Wenzi huddled in a corner of the cell, thinking over and over again what had happened in the past few days.

There was an idea in his mind, but he wouldn't say it out loud.

The guards followed Master Shen's instructions, dragged the man away, and threw him into the deepest part of the dungeon.

The cell was not big, but the walls were built with huge stones, and the only exit was locked tightly by an iron door.

"Master Shen said that if we give them a little pain first, he will be of great use to them later.

Put away all your thoughts. If you ruin the young master's good deeds, your whole family will suffer!"

"Yes!"

The two big men in charge of guarding looked at each other and immediately had an idea in their minds.

The person who deserves Mr. Shen's special explanation is naturally not someone they can get involved with, and he is different from the other children in the cell.

They locked the iron gate and retreated without any intention of coming closer.

This iron gate is specially made of fine iron.

Generally speaking, even if the people inside are top-notch masters around the emperor, they cannot escape.

But this thing became useless when it met the extraordinary Lu Jiao.

She stood up, shook off the dirt on her body, and touched the iron door of the cell.

“This is a good thing!”

After carefully sensing the thickness of the iron door, Lu Jiao's eyes lit up, and he planned to take the door panel with him before leaving.

248 came out at this time to show his presence: [This iron gate is not a good thing, you can complete tasks and use the task points to exchange for a large number of props.

From gold and silver to Warframe, as long as you have enough points, these things are not a dream! 】

[When you are not told to speak, just shut up! ]

Lu Jiao input his mental power and quickly opened the cell door, then locked it back as it was before.

In order to prevent someone from coming back to check halfway, she attached some mental power to the only palm-sized window on the iron gate.

Anyone who gets close will be disturbed and "see" Lu Jiao lying quietly inside.

Although Qinming Cottage looks like a teahouse, the dignitaries in the capital city all know that it is a high-end entertainment venue.

Especially those who have special requirements can be satisfied here.

But in the entire capital, few people dare to act rashly here.

The one backing them up behind the scenes is the Guo family, the one that took over the Tong family's military power in the northwest and is the second prince's maternal family.

This also made the official owner of Qinming Cottage, Mr. Shen, even more rampant.

Often, matchmakers would send some good-looking boys and girls to be handed over to tutors and musicians for instruction.

Not only do they need to read and learn to write, but they also need to practice singing, dancing and playing musical instruments, with the aim of appealing to both the elite and the masses.

If you are favored by a noble and taken home directly, you are considered lucky.

As for those who were not taken away, Master Shen would sell them to other brothels after they reached the age of marriage and make extra money.

Lu Jiao walked out from the deepest part of the dungeon and saw many children locked up in the cells on both sides.

They all refuse to be disciplined after being bought.

She just glanced at them quickly and didn't look at them again.

Children like this are the most troublesome, so she doesn't have the leisure to accept these troublemakers.

Walking out of the dungeon, the afternoon sun shone into Lu Jiao's eyes, making her feel uncomfortable for a moment.

But her attention was soon attracted by the fragrance from the kitchen.

However, she had not forgotten her purpose. She just tasted a piece of each cake and walked towards the backyard.

From a row of clean clothes, she picked out a set of clothes that looked relatively new and not too expensive, put them on, and then blurred her face.

Even if the Second Prince was standing in front of Lu Jiao at this moment, he would not be able to recognize her.

After stealing some silver from the houses on both sides, Lu Jiao walked on the street, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Although she marked all the strongholds that people passed by along the way, she didn't have a map of the capital!

In this era, maps should only be available to government officials. She couldn't just come out of the palace and then go back!

Lu Jiao made up his mind, stopped a man on the street and asked, "Brother, is there a carriage and horse shop nearby?"
