Although the Prime Minister's wife had a smile on her face, Xiao Ruoyi could sense her malice.
Xiao Ruoyi looked at the old face full of wrinkles, kind and gentle, [Tsk! What are you looking at! Look at me again, my appearance is thousands of times better than yours! Until now, no one knows that the beautiful women that the old prime minister once liked were all disfigured by this old woman! ]
Prince Jin's hands, which were hanging by his legs, were trembling slightly. He looked at the kind-looking old lady in shock.
Who could have thought that the kind old lady of the old prime minister could be such a jealous person!
It seemed that he had heard something before. There was a period of time when many beautiful women had their looks ruined, and they were all daughters of officials!
Because of their identities, even King Jin, who was a little more sensible later, could have heard these rumors.
But I didn’t expect that the person who did this would be the prime minister’s wife!
"It is an honor for our Prime Minister's Mansion that the prince and the little princess have come to visit us!"
King Jin smiled awkwardly, feeling somewhat unable to face the fake-kind old lady, "I am only here on the orders of my royal brother. After all, the Prime Minister is now seriously ill because of Donglin Country, and I feel guilty!"
"Alas!" The old lady also looked worried, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern!"
...
...
Seeing this worried look, Xiao Ruoyi sneered in her heart, "I think you are worried that after the prime minister dies, no one will support you, right? Humph, now there is no evidence to prove that you did everything back then! But when the prime minister loses power, tell those old ladies whose looks were ruined by you and who married into good families. I believe they will definitely want revenge!"
Suddenly, a cold wind blew and Prince Jin couldn't help but shiver.
It was unclear whether Prince Jin looked at the Prime Minister's wife with a look of gloating or sympathy.
What happened back then was indeed just as Xiao Ruoyi said, there was no evidence whatsoever, but most of the women of the same period as the old lady were still alive.
They come from good families. Even if they are disfigured and their appearance improves after treatment, they are not as beautiful as before. However, they still marry good husbands because they know their appearance and hold on to their identity and rights, and have a pivotal position in their husband's family.
Now that the old lady's status has plummeted, after those people know the truth, won't they seek revenge for what happened back then?
After all, if it weren't for the old lady's harm, their lives would definitely not be so difficult.
Prince Jin couldn't help but look at Xiao Ruoyi with admiration. She was indeed the daughter of his royal brother. She was very thoughtful!
Xiao Ruoyi pinched her chubby hands, her beautiful eyes narrowed dangerously, thinking that something was not right with the children, [Hehe, let’s talk about this old woman later, let’s save those children first! ]
Xiao Ruoyi glanced at the prime minister's wife with disgust, grabbed the King of Jin's big hand and shook it, and said in a baby voice, "Uncle, Yiyi wants to go out and play!"
"Okay!" Prince Jin nodded with a smile, "Madam, I'll take Yiyi for a walk in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Is that okay?"
The prime minister's wife smiled and nodded, "Of course you can. I will let Dalang lead the way for you right away!"
"No, no, just let the servants come! Madam, you should entertain the other ministers!"
They are going to look for the children who were imprisoned by Tan Hongyu. It will be difficult if you masters go there!
The old lady looked at the many ministers in front of her and finally nodded, "Okay!"
"Thank you very much!"
Prince Jin quickly took Xiao Ruoyi out of the front hall.
"Uncle, hurry up!"
Xiao Ruoyi hurriedly grabbed King Jin's hand and ran back, heading straight for Tan Hongyu's courtyard.
Don’t ask Xiao Ruoyi why she knows the destination!
Asking is stupid!
Our Yiyi is a great fortune teller, so of course she could have figured it out!
Xiao Ruoyi and Prince Jin ran out so fast that just as the old lady was about to give orders, they had already run out.
"Hurry up and catch up. You must serve the prince and the little princess!"
"Yes!" the servant responded quickly and ran out.
"My Lord, little princess, I will show you around!"
However, how could King Jin and Xiao Ruoyi listen to this servant? They ignored his shouting and ran in one direction, straight to Tan Hongyu's yard.
The servants were chasing after them, and when they saw Xiao Ruoyi and the others entering the yard, they immediately shouted.
"Your Majesty, this is the courtyard where the eldest young master lives, you can't go in!"
But what qualifications does a lowly servant have to stop Xiao Ruoyi and the others?
Even if Tan Hongyu came, he had no right to refuse and stop the prince and princess!
Most of the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion knew what Tan Hongyu had done, and this servant was one of them.
Seeing where they were going, the servant naturally panicked and quickly chased after them.
When Prince Jin and Xiao Ruoyi entered the yard, Xiao Ruoyi skipped to the rockery in the yard. She looked left and right, found a stone that seemed to be placed randomly, and held the stone in both hands and twisted it in one direction.
Sure enough, the rockery moved and retreated to the back, revealing a stone staircase leading to the basement.
“Found it!”
Prince Jin immediately ran forward with joy, but there was still some confusion on his face. After all, he didn't know what Xiao Ruoyi's purpose was in coming here.
"Yiyi, what are you doing? What's in here?"
The servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion hurried in and shouted, "Prince, little princess, you can't enter here!"
However, looking at where Prince Jin and Xiao Ruoyi were standing at this moment, the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion were all stunned, right?
He never thought that Prince Jin and the little princess actually found the place where the Tibetans were!
In an instant, the servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion felt his legs go weak and he almost fell to the ground, repeating two words in his mouth, "It's over! It's over! It's over!"
Not to mention that this place was discovered by others, now it was discovered by Prince Jin and the little princess. Even if the prime minister still sits firmly on the throne, he cannot save the eldest young master!
When King Jin saw the appearance of this servant, he knew that he must know what was inside, and waved at him with evil humor.
"Hey, that kneeling slave over there, come over and tell me, what's in here?"
The servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion looked like they wanted to cry but had no tears.
He really didn't want to go over there! He didn't want to know what was underneath!
Originally, who would enter Tan Hongyu's yard without permission?
However, now that Prince Jin and the little princess have arrived, he did not stop them and even opened the door of the secret room. The secret inside can no longer be hidden!
"Your Majesty! I don't know!"
King Jin snorted coldly and looked at him mockingly, "Oh, you don't know? Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?"
In order to save his life, the servant knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I... I really don't know. We servants have no right to ask about the affairs of the young master!"
