Chapter 317 Who is the Jizhou prefect?

Xiao Junze felt that he had realized the truth and was stunned on the spot.

He was filled with resentment.

He felt that everyone was protecting Xiao Chengjin.

Why?

He is the king of a country, okay?

Xiao Junze looked at Princess Anran and asked dissatisfiedly, "Aunt, we are both your nephews, why do you always favor Xiao Chengjin?"

Even the late emperor was like this.

Is it because Xiao Chengjin’s maternal grandfather had made great contributions to the Dayan Dynasty?

Princess Anran looked at the indignant Xiao Junze and said helplessly, "My nephew, you know that you are all my nephews."

"Aunt has been in the temple for so many years. How many times have you visited her?"

Xiao Junze was speechless after hearing what Princess An Ran said.

"Not even once." Princess An Ran said this and looked at Xiao Junze coldly.

Xiao Junze felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Princess An Ran.

He covered his lips and coughed lightly, then said, "Aunt, I am the king of a country, busy with state affairs every day. Naturally, I am not like that idle prince Xiao Chengjin."

"So, I ignored my aunt." His tone was not as sharp as before.

Princess Anran smiled sarcastically when she heard this.

She said bluntly: "Perhaps, this is why I treat you differently!"

Since you are so confident, don't blame your aunt for not showing you any mercy.

You are very busy, but not so busy that you don't even have time to visit me.

If you don't have your aunt in your heart, why bother finding those excuses?

Steward Ji took two steps forward and tugged at Xiao Junze's sleeve, "Your Majesty, please don't forget your business!"

"Please bow your head and beg Princess Anran to remove the poison from your body first."

Doctor Sheng is an excellent doctor and should be able to cure this poison.

Xiao Junze listened to what Ji Zongguan said and said with a hint of impatience, "I understand."

Sheng Yunshao and Princess An Ran listened to the conversation between the master and servant and glanced at each other secretly.

You have to ask Jin'er for help with the detoxification, it's useless to ask us.

At this moment, Jiang Ruo, standing not far away, called out, "Aunt, old man, come back for breakfast."

Sheng Yunshao turned his head and shouted, "We'll be back soon."

"Okay." Jiang Ruo looked at Xiao Junze standing there and sneered.

You're really something, causing trouble for your aunt so early in the morning.

Princess Anran watched Jiang Ruo turn and leave, then said to Xiao Junze, "Nephew, let's go back and have breakfast..."

"Aunt, can you ask Doctor Sheng to remove the poison from my body?" Xiao Junze said anxiously.

"Hehe~ I can't cure this poison." Sheng Yunshao took Princess Anran's hand and left. "Ruoxin, let's go have breakfast first. I think I smell the aroma of dumplings, hehe."

Princess Anran chuckled, "I think it tastes like scallion pancakes."

"By the way, I also asked someone to cook a bowl of ginseng and bird's nest porridge for you." Sheng Yunshao said with a flattering look on his face.

Xiao Junze and his servant watched the two men leave and were almost mad with anger.

One or two of them...don't take me seriously. This is simply too much.

Steward Ji looked at Xiao Junze, whose face was ashen, and said in a whisper, "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess will not stand on your side at the moment. Let's see how the situation develops..."

Xiao Junze was furious at the moment. He raised his foot and kicked Ji Zongguan, "Shut up!"

He clenched his hands and walked towards the dilapidated yard.

After being kicked to the ground, Manager Ji didn't dare to make a sound.

She covered her mouth tightly and made Xiao Junze angry again.

Alas, living with the king is like living with a tiger, so I’d better stay low profile recently!

After Xiao Junze walked away, he stood up tremblingly and followed him.

After Princess Anran and her partner returned to the courtyard, Steward Lin and his men, who had arrived this morning, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Servants and servants greet Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness the Prince Consort."

Sheng Yunshao was delighted by the pleasant sound of "Prince Consort".

He laughed heartily a few times and said cheerfully, "Okay, all of you hurry up and get up!"

Princess Anran looked at Sheng Yunshao's smug look and couldn't help but chuckle.

Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin saw this and held their foreheads helplessly.

"Aunt, let's have breakfast first." After Xiao Chengjin finished speaking, he instructed Steward Lin, "Go and arrange for the guards to take turns having breakfast."

"Yes, Master."

At this moment, Butler Lin couldn't wait to go and see Xiao Junze's fun.

Haha, it must feel bad to hit a wall!

After Jiang Ruo and others entered the dining hall, Butler Lin arranged things for Banxia and others, and then left the yard happily.

In the dining room.

"Aunt, I arranged for them to make your favorite dumplings and scallion pancakes this morning. Come and try them!" Jiang Ruo said, raising her eyebrows at Sheng Yunshao.

Love-brained old man, hurry up and serve your wife dinner.

Sheng Yunshao chuckled, picked up the serving chopsticks to pick up the dumplings and pickles, then stood up to serve the porridge himself.

Princess Anran ate the dumplings with a smile on her face, completely forgetting about Xiao Junze.

......

After Xiao Junze returned to the courtyard, he angrily walked to the stone table and sat down.

He thought to himself: I can't just sit here and wait to die!

Who should I ask to rescue him?

Who is the prefect of Jizhou?

Fan...Fan Qijun, yes, it’s Fan Qijun.

I have to find a way to pass the message to him...

Besides, if you save the emperor, you can get promoted and make money.

He will definitely come to rescue you personally.

Just then, he heard a triumphant laugh coming from outside.

"Haha... you have come to this day too!"

That’s right, it was Butler Lin who came to watch the fun.

He stood at the gate of the courtyard and said to the circle of secret guards outside: "You all take turns to have breakfast, and eat your fill."

"Only after eating a full meal can you have the energy to look at the 'prisoner'."

An Yi looked at Butler Lin's smug look, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

He made a gesture to the secret guards and left with half of them.

Xiao Junze, who was sitting in front of the stone table, was almost going crazy.

This dog slave actually dared to laugh at him.

I'm simply tired of living.

Butler Lin stood at the door looking around, and when he turned around he saw Manager Ji walking over wiping his tears.

Oh no, isn’t this the emperor’s favorite, Chief Steward Ji?

Why are you still crying?

"Cough, cough." Butler Lin cleared his throat pretentiously and blocked Butler Ji's way.

"Hey, what's wrong with Manager Ji? Are you not used to the life here?"

"It doesn't matter. If you stay here for two days, you will know how wonderful life is here."

"By the way, if you're bored, go herd sheep or cattle... I guarantee you'll experience the richness of farm life."

Manager Ji looked at the arrogant Manager Lin and immediately put on airs.

"Butler Lin, you're almost there."

"Our family is just in trouble now. When the emperor returns to the palace, I will have you punished."

Why are you showing off? Do you really think the throne is so easy to seize?

Upon hearing this, Butler Lin clicked his tongue twice.

He said sarcastically: "Manager Ji, you may not know yet, after returning to Beijing, your master..."

"Haha, you should know it very well in your heart."

When had Manager Ji ever been treated like this? He replied with a look of resentment: "Then we'll see."

Steward Lin shrugged and retorted, "Tsk, we'll see."

Hehe! I want to be the chief steward too.

I have managed the palace in perfect order, and I can manage the imperial palace as well.

Hey, that’s not right. There is a difference between managing a prince’s mansion and a palace.

You can't just go and...purify yourself just to become the steward!

Thinking of this, Butler Lin scratched his head.

Alas, not everyone can become the chief steward of this palace...

When Xiao Junze saw Manager Ji coming, he quietly told him what he had just been thinking.

"Ji Tao, this isn't a solution."

"The poison I was poisoned with should be a chronic poison. It won't be a big problem for the time being."

"How about this? Find a way to have someone secretly send a letter to Lord Fan, the prefect of Jizhou, saying that I am trapped here and asking him to come and rescue me as soon as possible."

After hearing what Xiao Junze said, Manager Ji was delighted.

"Your Majesty, this is a brilliant plan."

"Please wait patiently. I will find a way to inform Master Fan."

Xiao Junze snorted coldly and said impatiently, "We must inform Master Fan quickly."

"I understand."

Two guards who were busy in the kitchen scratched their heads while looking at a large pot of half-cooked rice porridge.

When will this porridge be ready?

What should we do if the emperor is hungry?

At this moment, Xiao Junze, who was sitting in front of the stone table, felt his stomach growl.

Only then did he remember that he had not had breakfast yet.

"I'm hungry, go prepare breakfast."

Chief Steward Ji frowned and said, "I obey your command."

He walked to the kitchen and looked at the rice porridge in the pot, feeling mixed emotions.

We can’t let the emperor eat this half-cooked rice porridge!

Forget it, I'll risk my reputation and go ask that gentleman for help.

The two guards watched Manager Ji turn and leave, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor is worth millions of gold, he cannot eat such simple meals.

Manager Ji slowed down his pace and returned to the room. He took out a purse from his bag, weighed it, and stuffed it directly into his sleeve.

After he left the room, he whispered to Xiao Junze who was sitting there, "Your Majesty, I will be back soon."

Xiao Junze nodded, feeling more and more annoyed.

I really didn't expect that Xiao Chengjin and his wife would treat him like this.

Manager Ji walked out of the yard and walked towards the yard full of laughter with a nervous mood.

He was thinking in his mind, wondering whether the people in this village could be bribed.

No matter what, we must notify Lord Fan to come and rescue me...
