After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

Ouyang Jing narrowed his eyes dangerously, his tone low and cold, "If you are a boy, why are you dressed as a girl?"

The little boy looked down at his pink dress, which was embroidered with a few gorgeous peach blossoms. He stretched out his chubby little hands and gently tugged at the hem of his dress. His tone was childish but with a hint of cunning, "If I don't dress like this, I won't be able to escape."

"Escape?" Ouyang Jing repeated the word doubtfully, with many questions in his mind.

Escape? Where to escape from? And why?

The little boy nodded, his big black eyes blinking, clear and transparent.

Ouyang Jing's gaze was fixed on the little boy's eyes. These eyes... these eyes were so similar to Shuang'er's eyes!

Could it be... could it be that this little boy is the clue to finding Shuang'er?

At the same time, the young guard was so frightened that his soul was out of his body. His face was as pale as paper and he almost fainted.

He never imagined that the "little girl" he casually brought from outside was actually a boy!

What should he do? He doesn't want to die!

Eunuch Yu saw that the young guard was trembling with fear. If this continued, he would be frightened to death.

He didn't want to see the emperor continue to embarrass this poor little guard.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Yu quickly pointed at the young guard and righteously scolded him, "How dare you! Do you think the Emperor is so easy to fool? You actually said that the former Crown Princess was reincarnated into this child, and it's a boy! Such deception of the Emperor is worthy of your death a hundred times! Your Majesty, I think you should be beaten with fifty sticks to serve as a warning to others!"

Fifty lashes would at most cause some minor skin injuries and keep him out of bed for half a month, but it wouldn't cost him his life.

Ouyang Jing glanced at Eunuch Yu and naturally understood what he was thinking. He wanted to save this young guard.

After a moment, Ouyang Jing said, "Since Mr. Yu has spoken, let's do it."

Upon hearing this, the young guard immediately kowtowed in gratitude, "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards came forward and dragged the young guard out.

After a while, the little guard's screams, like a pig being slaughtered, were heard outside, one louder than the other, making people's hair stand on end.

Seeing that the young guard had been dragged out for a beating, Eunuch Yu turned his attention to the little boy and cautiously asked Ouyang Jing, "Your Majesty, what about this child..."

Before Eunuch Yu could finish his words, the little boy spoke first, "Your Majesty, was that little guard beaten because of me?"

The clear and tender voice, with a hint of innocence and confusion, melted Ouyang Jing's originally cold heart a little.

He looked at the delicate little boy in front of him, his heart filled with doubts and curiosity.

Eunuch Yu originally wanted to tell the little boy to stop talking so as not to anger the emperor, but when he saw the emperor's eyes gradually softening, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"It's not because of you." Ouyang Jing collected his thoughts and spoke in a slower tone, "It's because he didn't complete the task I assigned him."

"What mission? How about I help you?" The little boy tilted his head and asked innocently.

Ouyang Jing was stunned for a moment, then looked at the little boy in front of him who was only five or six years old with interest, "You want to help me?"

The little boy nodded mysteriously, "I think you and I are destined to be together. Maybe I can really help you with this." He puffed out his chest, looking very confident.

Ouyang Jing was amused by his behavior, but soon frowned again and threatened: "If you don't finish it, you will be beaten with fifty boards like that man. Think about it carefully." He pointed outside the door, and the screams were still clearly audible.

The little boy glanced outside, listened to the screams, swallowed, and turned slightly pale. But he still said, "Okay, it's a deal!"

At the same time, inside Yilan Palace, Ying knelt on one knee with a serious expression, "Master, the young master is missing."

Xie Mi paused for a moment as the teacup in her hands finally came true. "How did the young master disappear?"

Ying whispered, "Miss Ah Xi said that the young master came to the capital from Fengshui Town alone, and there has been no news since then."

"Go find him!" Xie Mishuang said resolutely, "You must find the young master!"

"Yes!" Ying took the order and prepared to go. As soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Aya.

"Ouch!" Aya covered her head and glared at Ying in dissatisfaction. Ying lowered her head and stepped aside without saying a word, letting her pass first.

Aya rubbed her forehead and hurried to the inner room.

"Your Majesty," Aya said anxiously, "Shopkeeper Kai has already started selling off the Shen's shops at low prices, as per your instructions. However, the Shen's have so many shops that even at the lowest price, we can't buy them all at once. What should we do?"

Xie Mishuang frowned, "When I left the Crown Prince's Mansion, I didn't take away some of the things that the Empress Dowager had given me. I don't know where they are now..."

"I know," Aya said quickly, thinking of something. "In order to commemorate the Empress, the Emperor specially placed all of them in a warehouse next to the national treasury. I will try to find a way to get the key."

Xie Mi's eyes lit up. "This is the only way for now." She warned, "Be careful and don't get discovered."

Aya nodded solemnly, "I will be careful."

After saying that, he hurried out to do his business.

Qinghe also left the palace early to look for her lover Li Zhong. Now in Yilan Palace, except for Xie Mishuang, there were only four palace maids and two eunuchs left.

In the past few days, they have been relatively well-behaved, but there are also some dishonest people who cut corners and took advantage of the fact that she was a new concubine and came from a poor family. When they were cleaning her bedroom, they secretly stole some valuables.

If it is not stopped, I am afraid it will become more and more aggressive in the future.

"Someone come here." Her cold voice rang out in the hall.

Outside the palace, several palace maids were gathered together whispering. When they heard Xie Mishuang's voice, they were all stunned, looking at each other and blaming each other.

"What? Can't you hear what I said?" Xie Mishuang's tone became heavier, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

At this moment, a thin eunuch hurried out from the corner and knelt at Xie Mi's feet, with beads of sweat on his forehead sliding down his temples. "Your servant is here. What are your instructions, Your Majesty?"

This young eunuch was named Xiao Shunzi, and he was the least noticeable of the palace servants.

He is thin and has an ordinary appearance. He is usually taciturn, but he is hardworking and usually all the heavy work is assigned to him.

Xie Mishuang has been secretly observing the reactions of the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace these days. Although Xiao Shunzi was the farthest away, he was the first to come in and listen to orders. He is a loyal person.
