Lu Jiao washed it casually with the water in the bucket, then called the waiter to come in and clean up.

Only then did she see the situation in the bathtub - the clear water had turned into muddy water, with a layer of white foam floating on the surface of the water.

"My brother and I were in a hurry and were covered in dust."

When Tong Ze heard Lu Jiao's words covering up for him, he rolled around on the bed in shame.

It didn't stop until it was wrapped into a huge silkworm cocoon.

Thinking of the thirty cents reward, the waiter decided to endure it.

Two of them carried the bathtub, and the remaining one carried two wooden buckets and walked out of the room.

Lu Jiao opened the window to disperse the moisture in the room.

At this time, Tong Ze's even breathing was heard from behind the bed curtain.

Is this asleep?

Lu Jiao lifted the bed curtain and looked at the little person on the bed, holding the quilt they brought.

She reached out and was about to press her hand on Tong Ze's neck.

Tong Ze rubbed the quilt in his arms and whispered softly: "Mother..."

Lu Jiao sighed softly and pressed her thumb on his neck.

With a little effort, the previously tense body suddenly softened.

This way Tong Ze can sleep well at night.

I wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night and find that Lu Jiao had gone out.

She bolted the door and left a trace of mental power on the door and window.

As long as these two places are touched by someone, Lu Jiao will feel it.

She quickly headed towards South City.

After a whole day of fermentation, I believe they already know what happened last night.

Lu Jiao was worried that those people from southern Yunnan would risk going back to find out the news.

Thinking of this, she moved even faster.

Lu Jiao sensed the location of the ball of paper and walked in a straight line, passing over the roofs.

Lu Wei was ready to go, but was stopped by Tian Er.

"I will go with you."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Lu Wei avoided Tian Er, but the latter followed him stubbornly.

As a last resort, he had to persuade her, “I have inquired about it. They placed the body of the Ninth Prince in a side hall of the Ningshou Palace.

The palace is heavily guarded now, and you have never been there before. I can't guarantee that I will escape safely if I go in, let alone you.

You are walking into a trap!"

Tian Er didn't argue and acted like "If I don't go, you can't go either."

As the two men were facing each other, they caught a glimpse of a figure appearing on a high place nearby.

Lying on the roof, the voice was somewhat teasing.

"Are you guys going out?"

Tian Er was calm, but his eyes were slightly widened.

Lu Wei seemed much more panicked.

He pointed at the figure above, trembling and unable to speak clearly.

"You you you you you...are you a human or a ghost?"

Lu Jiao jumped down, making a slight sound when he landed.

On the corridor, the dim warm light from the lanterns shone on her face, giving it a healthy blush.

She asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

Lu Wei finally regained his heartbeat: "People on the street said that you were burned to death in Qinming Cottage!"

"How was it? I did pretty well on my first test, didn't I?

Who would have thought that the Ninth Prince is still alive!"

"We know." Tian Er suddenly said from the side.

Lu Jiao pointed to Tian Er and asked Lu Wei, "Who is this? Why is he saying such a shameless thing?

Shouldn't you praise me now? I completed the test beautifully!"

“This is Tian Er, she’s always been like this, don’t bother with her.

Tell me, what's going on with the fire and the bodies!"

"Is it right here?"

Lu Jiao pointed to the empty yard, where there was not even a stone table or stone bench.

"Let's go! Let's go inside and talk!"

Lu Wei turned around immediately, without paying any attention to Tian Er, and walked towards the inner courtyard.

The three of them turned the corner and saw Wu San and Fang Si drinking in the pavilion from afar.

"Boss, why are you back again?"

Wu San absentmindedly drank another glass of wine.

But when he saw Lu Jiao behind him, he lost his grip on the wine glass and it fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

He pointed behind Lu Wei: "He... Boss, don't look back! The Ninth Prince followed in!"

Lu Wei still didn't understand what Wu San meant: "I know."

"You know!" Wu San's voice suddenly rose and cracked.

He closed his eyes and muttered something.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Don't look for me, go look for whoever hurt you!

Right! Go find the Second Prince! People on the street are saying it was the Second Prince who did it!"

Compared to Wu San's impulsiveness, Fang Si is much calmer.

He looked at the shadow behind Lu Jiao and had a guess.

"Third brother, this person seems to be alive."

"How could it be a living person!" Wu San screamed, then lowered his voice.

“So many people saw it with their own eyes. When the Ninth Prince was carried out, he was burnt to ashes. How could he still be alive?

By the way, we also met the Ninth Prince during the day, and he passed us a note.

How could a person disappear in an instant? "

This fool!

Lu Wei slapped Wu San's head in annoyance and pulled his ear.

"Take a good look, is this a living person or a ghost?

After drinking some yellow soup, things became even more weird!

You are not allowed to drink alcohol in the future. If anyone sees this, please tell me!"

"Ouch, ouch! Boss, let go, my ears are going to fall off!"

The pain stimulated Wu San's alcoholic effect to a great extent.

He stared at Lu Jiao intently, stretched out his finger and touched him lightly, and found that he was indeed a living person. Only then did he believe that Lu Jiao was not dead.

"Your Highness, you are amazing! How did you do that with Qinming Cottage?

Now everyone in the capital believes it, and the Second Prince has no way to defend himself!"

Lu Jiao walked to the seat of honor and sat down.

"The Ninth Prince is indeed dead. I even left the jade token proving his identity on his body. Do you think the people in the palace are so easy to fool?"

"How can this be possible? How are you going to prove your identity in the future?"

Now it was Lu Wei's turn to be anxious.

Lu Jiao looked at him with amusement: "Why should I prove my identity? Should I go back and admit the crime of confusing the royal bloodline?

From now on, I will be Lu Jiao, Lu from the surname of the country of Nan Dian, and Jiao from the bright moon.

There is no Ninth Prince Yan Jiao in the world anymore.

You can just call me Young Master, it will be more convenient for us to get around.”

These words had several layers of meaning, and Lu Wei felt very complicated when he heard them.

Although he was deeply moved by the fact that His Highness was willing to change his surname to Lu, he also felt a mixture of sadness.

This shows how disappointed they are with Emperor Jiang and Concubine Shu that they can easily abandon even their names and identities.

He also chose this path to contribute to the Southern Yunnan Kingdom.

Lu Wei almost knelt down to Lu Jiao!

"Yes. I will report this to the king."

"Okay, just tell your uncle."

Lu Jiao took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Lu Wei: "This money is my joining money. Please help me get a household registration.

By the way, I also want to bring someone back and register his household registration.

Let's call him Lu Ze, my younger brother, ten years old."

"Bring people? That won't work!"

Before Lu Wei could say anything, Wu San started yelling.

"We are all family members in our stronghold, how can we let outsiders in so easily!

No, no! I don’t agree! "

Lu Jiao looked at Wu San coldly: "You can't even handle a ten-year-old child, so why are you a spy? Just go back to southern Yunnan and farm!"

"you!"
