Chapter 1177 Being Controlled

Zhong Jian locked the door of the woodshed and went to get something.

However, after he took the things Xiao Se wanted, he sat down on the stone steps in the front yard, looking a little dazed.

The housekeeper was worried about him, so he came over to take a look. Seeing a food basket next to him and a women's dress in his arms, his expression changed immediately.

"Zhong Jian, what are you doing?"

"It's for that girl. The prince didn't say I can't give it to him." Zhong Jian replied.

"What are you sending? Although the prince didn't say that it can't be sent, he also didn't say that it should be sent to her! Don't act on your own and take the things back."

Butler Zhong felt an uncontrollable aversion to the strange girl that the prince brought back for the first time.

But you can't be too nice and considerate to that girl, otherwise what if the princess misunderstands?

Butler Zhong immediately tried to pick up the food basket and at the same time tried to grab the skirt from Zhong Jian's arms, but Zhong Jian held the skirt and quickly picked up the food basket, avoiding the butler.

"Dad, stop making trouble. That girl looks quite pitiful. Our palace is not the kind of cold-blooded person who abuses others. What's wrong with giving her something?"

He really thought so now, and he really wanted to send these things to Xiao Se. He even thought that Miss Xiao Se was still waiting, so he couldn't delay and had to send the things to the woodshed quickly.

"By the way, there's no place to sit in the woodshed. It should be okay for me to move a chair over there, right?" Zhong Jian said again.

"You little bastard, if you don't send her, you are abusing her? Now you are just temporarily locking her up in the woodshed. Am I abusing her? The prince has already said that he is waiting for the princess to come back!"

Butler Zhong was so angry. He always felt that this brat was a little crazy. When had he ever been so considerate?

Could it be that the little girl just happened to be in Zhong Jian's heart? This was the first time he saw Zhong Jian being so proactive and caring towards a girl.

"I.."

Zhong Jian really wanted to move the chair, but there seemed to be a string in his mind pulling at his impulse. He struggled a bit and sat down on the stone steps again.

"Dad, I'm waiting for the princess!"

Zhong Jian said this with great difficulty, but still did not let Butler Zhong touch his things.

"Okay, just wait for the princess."

The butler didn't dare to leave and just stood there staring at him.

As soon as Fu Zhaoning entered the gate, he saw Zhong Jian sitting on the stone steps.

She could see his strangeness at a glance.

Zhong Jian usually looks very calm, but now he is sweating profusely, clenching his teeth, and his body is tense, and it is obvious that he is struggling.

"Bell Sword."

Fu Zhaoning frowned and immediately walked towards him.

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Fu Zhaoning coming back.

"Princess, you are back?"

"What's going on?" When Fu Zhaoning asked this question, he had already seen what Zhong Jian was holding.

Xiaoyue and Hongzhuo also looked at each other and felt very strange. Why was Zhong Jian holding one of their maid's clothes?

What is this for?

"Princess, please take a look at what's wrong with me." Zhong Jian said this with great difficulty.

What's wrong?

"You were wrong in the first place. Why are you suddenly so kind-hearted? You even feel sympathy for women!" The housekeeper glared at him.

"Be kind to women?" Fu Zhaoning glanced at the skirt he was holding, "Who are you sending this to?"

Hearing her ask this, Zhong Jian could hold on no longer and turned around with the things in his arms, ready to rush to the woodshed. It seemed like there was an order in his mind, telling him to quickly deliver the things to Xiao Se.

He had been fighting against this impulse just now, and he endured it with all his might until Fu Zhaoning came back.

But now he really couldn't help it.

As soon as Zhong Jian turned around, Fu Zhaoning raised his hand and pierced a silver needle behind his ear.

The butler and Hong Zhuo screamed in shock.

Xiaoyue quickly stepped in front of Zhong Jian.

Zhong Jian's movements froze.

Fu Zhaoning had also noticed that something was wrong with him, so he quickly pulled out another needle, turned to him, and stabbed him in the chest.

The third needle was injected into his head.

“Princess, what is he doing, what is he doing…” the butler was panicked.

"He is being controlled by someone." Fu Zhaoning's eyes turned cold.

Zhong Jian should not have any mission today, and he did not go out with Xiao Lanyuan. He has been staying in the palace the whole time. Who could be controlling him?

"Control?" The butler was stunned.

"Who did he meet just now?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
