Reborn, I am doing involution on Jinshan

"This is the spiritual pet raised by Princess Ruiyue of Prince Gong's Mansion. She can't understand bird language, but that doesn't mean this beautiful little bird can't listen to people." He is still a teenager, with a teenager's mind and nature, and his fighting spirit was inspired.

Everyone woke up the bird and took turns teasing it. The bird flew around alertly for a few times, chirping softly, then flew back to the coffee table and stood there, looking drowsy and listless again.

Dongfang Hao felt a little disappointed, but he wasn't discouraged. He said, "Perhaps it's just not familiar with me yet. I'll wait until it's well fed and watered, and then I can slowly develop a bond with it."

"Yeah, it should be." Deputy Commander Du Zhenhai was listless.

Soon, the servant returned with a small dish of millet, rice, and a few earthworms in a small cage. "Haha, you really managed to gather all the food. Go and claim your second reward."

One work, one reward, five copper coins. Except for the kitchen staff and maids, all the people employed in the Prince's Mansion were friends who grew up together. He had tried his best to lead them out of the abyss and onto the surface.

In order to consolidate the prince's position, he had to spend money everywhere. In front of outsiders, he was usually addressed as "Your Highness", "Grand Prince" or "Grand Young Master".

The attendant smiled innocently, "Thanks to everyone's help. Some of us have raised birds in captivity before and know their habits and preferences, so finding food is much easier."

"I see. Thank you for your hard work. Everyone will receive a reward."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Seeing that there was nothing for the attendant to do, the attendant went to the accounting office to receive the reward first.

Dongfang Hao personally took the bird's food, walked carefully to the bird's side, and said softly: "Colorful Bird, I remember your name is Wu Jinyun. You must be hungry. Come over and have something to eat."

"Come here, come here quickly. Cute little guy."

He placed millet and rice in front of the bird, lined them up in a row, and then opened the cage containing earthworms and placed it on the small tea table.

The bird seemed to sense Dongfang Hao's kindness, tilting its head to look at him, then at the food, and finally slowly moved its feet and began to peck at the millet. Dongfang Hao was delighted when he saw this: "It seems it likes to eat this."

Watching the bird eat, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but ponder: If this bird really has the ability to transmit messages as the counselor claimed, then it will be an additional aid in investigating the Queen Mother's assassination and dealing with the conspiracy of the Third Prince and others. However, how to teach it to transmit messages still requires some thought.

At this time, the counselor Ren Duolong, who had spoken earlier, said, "Your Highness, training a bird to deliver messages is not easy and requires patience. You can start with simple instructions, such as having it fly to a designated location, and then slowly guide it to carry letters."

Dongfang Hao shook his head: "To deliver a message, a carrier pigeon can do it."

Pang Zhengxiang explained: "This is the little princess's spirit pet, it is only temporarily following our prince."

Dongfang Hao stared at the colorful bird curiously: "Little bird, if you understand what we are saying, call three times and fly three circles."

The colorful bird did as it was told. The five people gathered around it, observing it closely and marveling at its beauty. Fan Dengke brought over a piece of pork. It tossed its head away in disdain, drawing laughter from the crowd.

"Little guy, you have a bad temper..." Fan Dengke touched his nose awkwardly.

Dongfang Hao stretched out his slender hand, and the colorful bird jumped onto it. He stroked the bird's silky feathers and said, "Wu Jinyun, do you like following me? If you do, jump onto my shoulder."

The bird chirped a few times, then "whoosh" spun around in circles with the five of them, and finally landed steadily on the prince's shoulder.

"This little guy is so clever and interesting. He really listens to people." Several people were amazed.

Ren Duolong stared at the bird and studied it, liking it very much: "What a beautiful bird! I have never seen such a colorful pet in the imperial city."

"There are many ugly crows in the imperial city, and their cries are very creepy." Deputy General Du Zhenhai took a glass of water and placed it next to Xiaomi.

"Little guy, drink the water quickly, don't choke." This time, the colorful bird did not refuse or shake its head. It flew down from the prince's shoulder, lowered its head to drink water, and called out happily a few times. Du Zhenhai laughed triumphantly.

This sentence reminded Dongfang Hao: "Colorful Bird, when you are outside, just pretend to be an ordinary bird like today. Got it?"

The Grand Commander Pang Zhengxiang also fondly stroked its silky tail and said, "Yes, if anyone knew you were adopted by humans, they would shoot you with a bow and arrow, or lure you with food and lock you up, and you would never see us and the princess again."

"Today, an assassin wanted to shoot a witness. Fortunately, this beautiful little creature cried out to warn the public, and the Ministry of Justice was able to save him from the arrow."

Dongfang Hao said, "Little guy, it's not your fault. It's just that bad people are used to taking their anger out on others."

Fan Dengke: “Really?”

Ren Duolong: "Then we must reward them with delicious food and drinks."

Du Zhenhai: "Little guy, quite clever. Haha."

Wu Jinyun seemed to understand Dongfang Hao's words. It chirped softly a few times and rubbed Dongfang Hao's fingers.

The counselors all agreed. As they watched the bird eat, they began discussing the direction of the investigation into the Queen Mother's assassination, trying to find new breakthroughs from the previous clues...

Fan Dengke analyzed: "This Liu family is really disgusting. They have the guts to pluck the hair of their ancestors. They have provoked the Empress Dowager and deserve death. Why do you think Liu Shuiling is willing to work for others? Her family is not poor."

"No matter why she did that, people die for money and birds die for food. As long as we control her child, we don't have to worry about her running away." Pang Zhengxiang said gritting his teeth.

Dongfang Hao frowned: "The tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop."

"Your Highness, the prince's group is pressing on. I heard that you encountered assassins when you entered the palace this morning. You can no longer show mercy and must fight back." Advisor Ren Duolong said

Dongfang Hao's eyes were slightly cold. "I will not offend others unless they offend me. If you continue to attack me, don't blame me for being ruthless and ungrateful. Let them die first."

Pang Zhengxiang agreed: "Your Highness, just because you are close to Prince Gong, you even did not let the little princess go and poisoned her. This is a naked challenge to the royal power and laws."

Ren Duolong was delighted to hear Dongfang Hao's statement. He clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness is wise! The Third Prince and his men are ambitious and have repeatedly attempted to kill Your Highness. If you do not fight back, they will surely intensify their efforts. Now that the Empress Dowager has been assassinated, the Shufei family is a serious suspect and their intentions deserve to be punished. If Your Highness fights back, you will surely be able to dampen their arrogance."

"Who are the Shufei's family members? Today, a witness accused several pieces of clothing of being the marks of her family members." Pang Zhengxiang touched his smooth chin and said

Du Zhenhai was overjoyed, but chose his words carefully: "Shufei knows that after giving birth to the second and fourth princes, it's normal for her to be ambitious and want to seize the throne. What is the background of her family?"

Dongfang Hao gritted his teeth: "It seems that he is an imperial censor, a civil servant, and needs to be investigated carefully. I have never had any contact with the family members in the harem, and they all avoid people." Everyone nodded in understanding.

Pang Zhengxiang accepted the order. "Okay, I'll investigate Concubine Shu and her family. I'll leave it to you. I'm also curious about who gave them the courage to pluck the hairs from a tiger's head."
