Chapter 516 What truth are you talking about?
Mutou: "???!!!"
After they said that, Mutou suddenly had a new concept of Xiao Lingyu's cruelty.
But...
the intelligence didn't mention this!
Isn't it said that the prince has a gentle temperament and never beats or scolds servants easily?
Mutou's eyes were slightly suspicious.
The two people next to him didn't notice it at all, just completing their tasks.
"Don't disbelieve it, haven't you ever seen His Highness beat or scold servants, but at night, you can hear wailing?"
Mutou nodded.
"See, that's because we didn't dare to cry out loud during the day!"
"Which master in the capital never punishes his servants? It happened in the middle of the night. You are lucky that you haven't touched His Highness's mold for so many days. If it weren't for us today, you..."
He didn't finish his words, and then the sound of a teacup breaking came from the house!
Mu Tou shuddered.
This is not over yet, the sound came one after another, and Mu Tou was about to get closer, but he was taken away by them again: "Hurry up, hurry up, wait for His Highness to come out, I'm afraid your life will be in danger!"
Mu Tou was skeptical.
However, with so many people, there is indeed a risk of being exposed if you listen outside. It is better to follow them first, and you can also get some information from them.
...
Inside the house.
The ground is a mess.
Ji You no longer had the initial collapse, he sat calmly on the chair, picked up the teacup and threw it on the ground: "Everything else is false, but having to come back and having no choice is true."
"My hometown can be summed up in one sentence, that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. Besides, there is no decent doctor there. They are all old, how can I let them stay there without worry."
Xiao Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Is it Xiao Yanli?"
"Yes," Ji You chuckled: "The old house has long been occupied by bandits. They may have regarded the bandits as guards, so killing as many as possible is also a good thing."
"Let's get back to the point. After his people took me to see him, they hinted in their words and asked me to keep coming back to gather information in the name of revenge for me."
"The guy standing next to you just now, I vaguely remember seeing him once, but I can't remember clearly."
Xiao Lingyu sighed lightly: "I knew that the smart ones are all other people's subordinates."
Ji You looked at him silently.
Xiao Lingyu and he looked at each other.
The two stared at each other for a while, and then Xiao Lingyu suddenly realized: "You are not a subordinate, so you don't count."
Ji You then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
As the two were discussing, one of them hurriedly approached the front of the house, not daring to open the door, but only shouted loudly: "Your Highness, the Sixth Prince's concubine is here to pay a visit!"
Song Shiwei?
What is she doing here?
Ji You got up and hid behind the screen. Xiao Lingyu pretended to be angry and said: "Bring her in."
"Yes!"
Pushing open the door, seeing the mess in the house, Song Shiwei's eyes widened in surprise.
Xiao Lingyu's dark eyes seemed to be filled with dark clouds. He looked at her impatiently and asked, "What did you come to see me for?"
"I have something very important to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
She emphasized the word "very important."
Xiao Lingyu looked at her for a few times and waved: "Come in and close the door."
Song Shiwei carefully avoided the fragments: "Does Your Highness know about the treasure of the previous dynasty?"
Xiao Lingyu's eyes flashed: "What do you want to say?"
Song Shi lowered his eyes slightly, deliberately lowered his voice, and said with a little temptation: "I have clues about the treasure of the previous dynasty, and I already know the location of the treasure."
Xiao Lingyu's pupils dilated slightly, but then he leaned back: "You know the location, why don't you tell your husband, why are you looking for me?"
Song Shi paused slightly, then reached out and took off his hood-
Xiao Lingyu was startled.
Her face was covered with scars, looking hideous and terrifying.
Song Shiwei held back her tears and choked up, "If I'm not satisfied, he whips me." Song Shiwei trembled and lifted her sleeves, revealing her scarred arms: "Your Highness, please look, I'm afraid that one day, he will beat me to death!"
"This is a marriage arranged by the emperor, and he's a prince, so my father can't do anything. I'm insignificant and my words are not taken seriously. After thinking about it, I can only ask for help from Your Highness!"
She knelt down neatly, not caring about the broken pieces of the teacup on the ground, and kowtowed to Xiao Lingyu: "Your Highness, I don't ask for anything, I just ask that after Your Highness ascends the throne in the future, you can grant me a divorce."
"Please, Your Highness! Please, Your Highness!"
Her hands had already begun to bleed, and her tone was very desperate and helpless.
If Xiao Lingyu didn't know her nature, I'm afraid he would also feel sympathy.
"Okay, get up," Xiao Lingyu pretended to be reluctant: "Where is the location?"
Song Shiwei told the location.
"I will send someone to check. Are you going back home these days, or..."
"Can I stay in the East Palace?"
As if she was afraid that Xiao Lingyu would send her back, Song Shiwei said cautiously: "Your Highness, don't worry, I sneaked out. I don't know what the Sixth Prince is busy with recently. He won't come to my room. I have already told him everything." "Okay
, stay here and recuperate these days. Go and tell the people outside the gate to clean up a room and let the imperial physician in the mansion see you."
Song Shiwei looked flattered and surprised: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
...
The door opened and closed, and Ji You walked out slowly from behind the screen.
"There must be something fishy about this matter. It's not appropriate for Your Highness to keep her in the mansion like this."
Xiao Lingyu waved her hand: "It doesn't matter. For the treasure of the previous dynasty, it is worth taking some risks."
"Your Highness!" Ji You raised his voice: "Your position as the crown prince is stable, why do you need to take this risk! Besides, the emperor is in his prime, and her mention of ascending the throne is clearly instigating you to rebel!"
This...
Xiao Lingyu raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile: "Is the position of the crown prince secure now? I remember that someone said something different before."
"Before, it was because the other princes were eyeing him covetously. Now the second prince poses no threat, and the sixth prince is also at the end of his strength. As long as we..."
"Okay," Xiao Lingyu interrupted Ji You: "I have my own opinion on this matter."
According to the plan, it should be Xiao Yanli who takes action against him, so don't disrupt the plan.
Ji You closed his mouth unwillingly, looked at Xiao Lingyu, touched his chin, and said suddenly: "Why do I think Your Highness seems to be happy to see it happen?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" What's the truth?
Xiao Lingyu glared at him angrily.
"Don't come out these few days, just stay in the dungeon."
...
On the other side, Mu Tou, who was carried away, was already dazed.
He stared blankly at the opening and closing mouths of the two people next to him. He knew they were talking, but there was no sound in his ears.
But it didn't matter. It must be some incident when the prince was a child and accidentally fell or something, which angered the servants, causing millions of corpses and blood to flow for thousands of miles.
His ears were about to get entangled.
It seemed that these two illiterate people only knew these two idioms, and they used them vigorously.
He didn't get the news out, but his brain was almost brainwashed by these two idioms.
