Inferior dominance

The parrot led me to the place where the little prince was imprisoned.

As Ji Xiao said, the environment here is not good. It is a small and secluded room, and it is empty inside. There are no mattresses, tables, chairs or other places where people can sit and rest.

The young master is like a lifeless wax figure, standing upright in a certain corner of the room, only blinking from time to time can let people know that he is a moving "creature".

The door was locked and I couldn't get in. I tried to shake the door to force my way in, but the entrance was much more familiar than I imagined.

When I was worrying, not far behind, I heard footsteps from far to near.

Before the other party approached, he hid in the blind corner of his sight, slightly poked his head out, and saw a maid walking outside the room of the young master Guan with a lunch box.

"Hey, it's time to eat." Saying that, the maid opened the door with the key on her waist and walked in.

"Why don't you take a bite? Do you know how expensive these dishes are... I'm so greedy, if you waste food like this again, I'll never cook for you again!" the maid said to herself, Judging by the tone, it was clearly as if he was talking to someone, "Okay, this is lunch, this time you have to eat well."

Sure enough, the dream is just a dream. The behavior of the young master is completely unreasonable, but the servant girl seems not to notice it at all. I guess the delivery of food should be ordered by the crown prince. It seems that he doesn't know that it is actually Young Master Hou does not need to eat.

Finally, the maid closed the door again, and I was still thinking about how to get the key from her waist, so the love owl parrot went out without hesitation.

Don't get me wrong, it's not the kind of high-end parrot that can steal the key silently, the sound of its flapping wings is enough for the little maid to notice, um, so it is said that the key is snatching the key with the rope in its mouth. past.

"Ah, my key...you stinky bird!" The servant girl's reaction was also unusually slow. Anyway, when she recovered and scolded, the love owl parrot was already flying high with the key in its mouth.

It's amazing, I never knew that the parrot has such a function, and I don't know how Ji Xiao trained it... Or maybe, it's also because of the need of the plot?After all, the crown prince should be the one who wins the throne in the book, so maybe all the other factors in the book are helping him secretly. While watching the little maid crying and chasing the parrot, I thought calmly .

After a while, the love owl and parrot threw off the pursuers, returned to my shoulder and gave the key to my palm. Seeing that the little maid hadn't chased after him, I breathed a sigh of relief and took the key to open the door. He opened the door that closed the little lord.

To be honest, I don't know why I came to see him, but since Ji Xiao mentioned it in the last conversation, there must be traces to follow.

The untouched lunch box was still steaming and put aside. I stood beside the young master and looked him up and down.

If it weren't for the fact that I used to often run to him to "play" when I was free on weekdays when I was in the Dunwang Mansion, I really wouldn't have noticed that his posture at this moment is different from usual.

Under normal circumstances, the young master's movements are relatively relaxed, he will not deliberately raise his head and chest, nor will he stand his legs straight, and his hands will naturally hang down without clenching into fists.

So it was not difficult to find that there was a note in his tightly clenched hand.

There is no doubt that Ji Xiao's handwriting.

"The prince's mansion was burned, and now the prince is searching for my traces secretly. I have placed Prince Dun in a bright place in the capital. Although he is now under the prince's sight for me, don't worry, he is also surrounded by me. The intelligence agents are on guard all the time, and I myself am lurking in that bookstore of yours. The place is very safe, and almost no one will notice. Fifth Sister has been safely sent out through the tunnel in the bookstore, and now she has arrived in another city. I didn't expect that about the bookstore, I would like to thank you in the end."

It is really rare to be affirmed by Ji Xiao. To be honest, I actually settled the property at the beginning just to enable myself to achieve financial independence. Later, when the news of Ms. Lin came out, knowing that Fifth Sister would be affected by this, I decided to And decided to leave this house to her until the end... Ji Xiao was summoned to the palace by the emperor, and realized that all kinds of changes would inevitably occur behind this matter. Yu Weiran secretly contacted the construction team through the people who had correspondence with Ji Xiao on weekdays to build the basement and the tunnel leading to the outside of the city.

The content behind the letter is Ji Xiao's series of plans for all future response actions. He first threatened, and then said, "It won't be this time, and you still plan to help your prince?" It was very natural to start to arrange me. He didn't seem to intend to reveal all his plans. Although I was helpless, I didn't plan to act against him after all. After all, in the current situation, different plans may lead to worse results .

He said that he planned to get the young master in front of him under his nose, and he asked me to move him to the corner of the west wall of the East Palace in the middle of the night the day after tomorrow, and cover it with grass and trees, and he would order people to pick it up regularly. "goods".

He also said that he would come to my side regularly to report on the situation, "I know you don't want to betray your big brother prince, so I don't intend to force you this time, but don't worry, I won't stop coming to see you because of this." , every week I will come to your side regularly to comfort you, after all, some people like to itch behind, and it is impossible to do without me."

"Are you angry? If you are angry, burn the letter paper with fire. You are the princess now. Correspondence with me is a capital crime of beheading."

After restoring everything to the original position and closing the door lightly, I finally left the little duke with the love owl and parrot.

On the way back, the love owl parrot kept its mouth open, and uttered broken syllables from its throat.It was a throat that had been smothered by smoke, and the voice sounded harsh and indistinct, but I knew what it was talking about, it was nothing more than a passionate confession to Ji Xiao.

Oh, I forgot to mention, on the way back, I ran into that little maid whose key was robbed.

Yuemo is the reason for my plain clothes. At first she didn't recognize me, but ran behind me aggressively: "Hey! Let me say, your parrot..."

It wasn't until she saw my face that she knelt down on the ground in fright.

I really don't know how she separated me and the young master, or in other words, doesn't she find it strange?The little duke and I have the same face, I looked down at her, and at this moment the owl parrot was standing on my shoulder, "Get up," I said, "This parrot was given to me by the third prince." Gift, what's wrong with it?"

The little girl was obviously frightened because she yelled at me earlier, "No, it's okay!"

"I saw that it was a little lethargic this afternoon, and I thought it had swallowed something by mistake." Actually, I didn't intend to hurt this poor little girl, but I have to move the little prince away after a while, in order not to be caught by the prince. When I found out, I could only... "What did you eat when you saw it?"

"It...it snatched my key, I don't know if it swallowed it." Seeing this little maid was so frightened that her legs trembled.

"Well, if that's the case, you will take care of it during this period of time, you must not leave it for half a step, and report to me immediately if there is any abnormality, you understand?"

"But... the servant, the servant, is going to deliver food."

"I will arrange another person to go." Naturally, I will not arrange another person to cause trouble for myself, "You can come to me to do business with peace of mind."

The power is extremely unequal, and the little girl naturally has no right to refuse. While I sigh in my heart, I am also faintly relieved that I have such a privilege at this moment.

The emperor has been buried, and the prince will ascend the throne in a few days. Although he has not formally grasped the imperial power, he has already given the four princes fiefdoms on behalf of the former emperor.

For a while, the news that the fourth prince was about to leave the capital for other lands quickly spread to every corner of the court.

Although no one in the harem mentioned it publicly, I know that everyone knows the real reason for the fourth prince's departure.

Thinking of the final ending of Yu Jingsheng, the fourth eldest child in Dreamland, I may only be able to sigh. Going to a fief to live an idle life is much more practical than spending a long time in prison.

But I didn't expect another earth-shattering event to happen on the day he left Beijing.

A person accidentally collided with the fourth prince's convoy going to the fiefdom. The fourth prince was furious for no reason, and let his horse kick him and hurt him. The person died on the spot, and when the news reached the palace, it was already sunset.

Just according to Ji Xiao's order, he moved the young master to the designated place, and returned to the bedroom sweating profusely, only to find that the prince's guards were standing outside the door.

It seems that the prince has arrived.

I hurried in and saluted respectfully, the prince asked me to stand up and sit down in front of him.

It was clearly a smile, but there was unceasing sorrow in his brows and eyes. I guessed it was because of something, so I asked along the way: "Your Highness, what's bothering you?"

"You must have heard about what happened today."

I dimmed my eyes. Naturally, I heard about it. I don’t even know whether I should be thankful. In my previous life, Yu Jingsheng killed three people at once. How could you offend the Fourth Prince?"

Yu Jingsheng doesn't care about people's names. If it weren't for the royal family, who would tolerate the existence of such a person?Dad is undoubtedly correct, such a person cannot shoulder the future of the Yu family, let alone the entire country.

Perhaps prison is the place he should go the most.

"The common people are innocent," I said.

"I'm thinking, if I call him back to the palace to severely punish him at this time, will some people say that I am killing people to silence people, pushing the boat along the way, and even... saying that I planned all of this alone." The prince slightly raised his lips. Jiao, looking at me, there was a hint of discussion in his eyes.

"However, this is also a good opportunity to establish prestige." I smiled, "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, didn't he?"

It sounds like I'm trying to persuade the prince to kill the fourth prince, but... he should be punished for what he did, so there's nothing to say.

"It's a coincidence." The prince sighed, his eyes full of helplessness, "Actually, I was also confused at first why the fourth child wanted to attack such a commoner, until I heard... that person has a picture that is exactly the same as that of the eldest son Ji Xiao. s face."

In an instant, my mind seemed to have lost the ability to think, and I froze in place, as if I had forgotten everything.

Now that the situation is special, it is impossible for Ji Xiao to be recognized by the royal family while walking on the street in broad daylight, so naturally that person cannot be Ji Xiao himself.

An extremely bad idea rose in my mind.

Then that person can only be... Dong Siyuan?

Is it Dongsiyuan? !

I originally thought that Ji Xiao didn't include him under his command in this life was the best protection for him, but I never expected that he would appear in my field of vision again in this way.
