Chapter 220 Of course, this is also due to my excellence and good training

Hearing this, Xiao Jiwu's eyes darkened, and he asked again: "What is the relationship between the me in the book and Ying Shiyi?"

This was a pointed question. Yun Qingshi thought for a moment and replied, "It's... a somewhat complex relationship between superiors and subordinates. Basically, there's no real affection. Ying Shiyi has always respected Xiao Jiwu as his master, and Prince Yi only sees Ying Shiyi as a subordinate with one more task to solve in bed."

"The reason why it turned out like this is similar to what we went through before. It was like in the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet book, Prince Yi was poisoned, and Ying Shiyi pretended to be the antidote. After that, they became entangled."

"But the Prince Yi in the book treated Ying Shiyi very badly. Chu Zhiyu bullied Ying Shiyi however he wanted, and Prince Yi didn't care. Ying Shiyi was extremely loyal. He considered Chu Zhiyu his master's benefactor, so he never resisted. He later died at the Cliff of No Return, partly because Chu Zhiyu had taken his heart blood, leaving him very weak."

Having said that, Yun Qingshi looked into Xiao Jiwu's eyes and asked, "So do you know why I want to run away?"

If he knows the plot and still doesn't run away, everyone will call him crazy.

"You don't know, before the palace banquet, I pretended to be sick and told you to be careful, just to avoid that plot, but in the end I failed to avoid it."

Xiao Jiwu couldn't help but frown when he heard this, then he gently hugged Yun Qingshi into his arms and said in a low voice: "Qingqing, I'm sorry..."

Yun Qingshi:?

Yun Qingshi was startled when he heard this, then patted Xiao Jiwu on the back and asked, "Are you putting yourself in that situation?"

He then spoke with a distressed and helpless tone: "Why are you apologizing to me? That's all in the book, it didn't really happen. Everything is different now. You are not the Prince Yi in the book, and I am not Ying Eleven."

"Besides, apart from the fact that you always acted so high and mighty, self-righteous, and arrogant at the beginning, and were quite unreasonable, you weren't actually that bad. Later on, you gradually became much better, and you didn't really do anything to me."

Yun Qingshi concluded: "Of course, this is also due to my excellence and good training."

Xiao Jiwu: ...

Xiao Jiwu kissed the young man's brow, hesitated for a moment, and then asked again, "One more thing. During the Qing Dynasty, you offered five eternal lamps at Gratitude Temple. Apart from me, are the remaining four your former family members?"

In fact, he already had the answer in his mind, but he still wanted to confirm it.

Yun Qingshi:!

Yun Qingshi was stunned again when he heard this.

So Xiao Jiwu knew everything?

Well, he had already expected that he couldn't hide it. At that time, he thought that if he escaped, there would be no evidence. He didn't expect that he would still have to explain now.

However, this is not something that cannot be said.

Yun Qingshi spoke quickly: "You guessed right, they are my father, mother and two brothers. Dad is father and mom is mother. That's how we call them."

"Huh, if my mom knew I ended up with a prince as my boyfriend, she would definitely think she was dreaming. My dad would probably be staring at the night sky on the balcony chewing gum non-stop, because he has quit smoking and can only chew gum."

As he said this, Yun Qingshi smiled with a relaxed look.

But how could his disguise be hidden from Xiao Jiwu?

Xiao Jiwu immediately hugged Yun Qingshi again with heartache, and also felt a little regretful for asking such a question.

He didn't even know how to comfort the boy, because he had never experienced the true love between normal family members, so how could he understand what it felt like to lose someone.

But putting himself in his shoes, when he was at the Cliff of No Return, he thought that the short moment of losing the boy was heartbreaking.

How sad would the boy be who could never see his family again?

Thinking of this, he hugged the boy even tighter, and then said, "Qingqing, I will always be with you."

Yun Qingshi nodded when he heard the voice: "I know, I'm fine."

Although they probably would never see each other again, he knew that his two brothers would definitely take good care of his parents.

He was just worried that everyone would be too sad.

Xiao Jiwu then changed the subject and asked, "So Qingqing and the others want to kill Xie Fenchuan now?"

Yun Qingshi:???

Yun Qingshi sat up straight in an instant and left Prince Xiao's arms.

He was clearly feeling sad in the previous second, but was completely speechless by Xiao Jiwu in the next second.

What kind of villain's brain circuit is this...

Although the problem was solved quickly and efficiently, it was still too unethical. Why was Xie Fenchuan so unlucky?

Yun Qingshi then said helplessly: "How is it possible? I have no grudge against him in the past or in the present, why would he do that?"

"What I mean is that we'd better find Xie Fenchuan in advance and give him a hand. Based on my experience, the plot is bound to happen, but it's not unchangeable. If we help him, you won't become his enemy, and it can also be considered a good deed and help a good marriage."

Of course, Xiao Jiwu knew what kind of character his young man had. He said that just now just to stop him from indulging in sadness.

Now it seems that it has been successful.

He then nodded in realization, "So that's how it is. I heard it all clearly."

Yun Qingshi nodded, and then said with some distress: "But I have no idea when Xie Fenchuan will come. I waited for him all morning this morning but he didn't show up."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiwu said, "Qingqing, don't worry. This isn't difficult. We just need to replace the guards at Lai'an Gate with our own people. When they spot someone suspicious, they will come and report back immediately."

Yun Qingshi was stunned for a moment: "Can the guards be replaced with our own people?"

Xiao Jiwu smiled and said, "Yes, many of those guards are former soldiers in the army, and they still recognize me as a general, so we just need to adjust the roster a little bit."

"Qingqing, all you need to do now is tell me what Xie Fenchuan looks like, and then I'll give the order for them to identify him."

Yun Qingshi quickly responded upon hearing the voice: "It's easy to recognize. It's very simple. In one word, handsome!"

Although he had never seen what Xie Fenchuan looked like, his handsomeness was a very noticeable feature.

Xiao Jiwu was puzzled when he heard this: "Handsome? But since he sneaked in secretly, he naturally wouldn't dress like a general."

Yun Qingshi:?

Yun Qingshi reacted briefly and realized that Xiao Jiwu's understanding of "handsome" and his "handsome" were completely different things. He couldn't help but hug Xiao Jiwu and smiled:

"My Ah Wu, when I say handsome, I don't mean a general. I mean handsome and elegant."
