Chapter 520: Silence

Xiao Lingyu glanced at him.

He said so...

Xiao Lingyu pointed: "I think that well is a little suspicious, go and take a look."

Mutou looked in the direction of his finger - a well with a huge rock on it.

It was indeed suspicious, but the huge rock...

Mutou forced a smile and said: "Your Highness, you think too highly of me."

"Is it impossible?" Although Xiao Lingyu smiled, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Didn't you just say that I only need to order you? Are you deceiving me?"

His voice was light, but it made Mutou sweat coldly.

"It was my fault, but I never meant to deceive your Highness! Your Highness, please forgive me, Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Seeing that his body was shaking more and more violently, like leaves blown by the wind.

Xiao Lingyu looked at him for a long while before chuckling, "Alright, I just said it casually, why are you reacting so strongly, get up."

The voice for mercy stopped, and Mutou raised his head cautiously.

"Can't you pay it back?"

Mutou got up from the ground in a panic, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

After this incident, he didn't dare to speak easily again, and stood beside Xiao Lingyu respectfully. In his heart, he somewhat agreed with what the two men said before, that Xiao Lingyu was tyrannical.

The guards pushed the boulder away, and Xiao Lingyu covered his nose to block the dust. When the dust dispersed, he leaned forward to look down.

The well was not deep, and you could see the bottom at a glance.

It was just an ordinary well.

Xiao Lingyu retracted his gaze.

At this time, Song Shiwei also came back. Xiao Lingyu frowned and asked, "Where is the secret passage?"

The guard who came the day before led the way.

Seeing this, Song Shiwei hurried to catch up. As she got closer, everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Her dress was long, and when she vomited, it was inevitable that some dirt would be stained on her. The weather was hot and there was not even a breeze. As soon as she got

closer, she could smell the strange smell... Song Shiwei also noticed that everyone was avoiding her like a snake or a scorpion. She was embarrassed and embarrassed, her face flushed, and she followed silently.

Not far away, outside the main house, the guard stopped, moved the firewood by the wall, and lifted the cover hidden under the firewood.

"Your Highness, it's right here."

Xiao Lingyu nodded, and the guard turned over and got down. Xiao Lingyu followed closely behind him, and Song Shiwei also followed.

The secret passage was very short. After only a few steps, they saw the so-called door. Xiao Lingyu pressed his forehead: "Go open it."

Song Shiwei pressed the key with trembling hands.

The door moved.

Song Shiwei: "!!!"

Xiao Lingyu: "!!!"

They all knew that this door should not open.

The veins on Xiao Lingyu's forehead jumped fiercely. No, there is a little design in this door?

But in a moment, both of them reacted. The sound did not come from the door, but from the secret passage.

Xiao Lingyu's face changed: "Let's go!"

But it was too late. Xiao Lingyu got out and saw the emperor and Xiao Yanli.

Xiao Yanli raised his eyebrows at him subtly, his eyes full of provocation.

Xiao Lingyu knelt down with the tip of his tongue touching his cheek: "Your Highness, I have seen you, father."

"What are you doing here?" The emperor did not ask him to stand up, but said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, I saw many birds on this mountain, so I sent guards to catch a few. I accidentally found this place, so I thought of coming to take a look."

The guards beside him nodded vigorously.

Xiao Yanli looked behind him, Song Shiwei did not follow him out, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Really? Why does Your Highness the Crown Prince suddenly like birds? I remember that the Crown Prince has always disliked them."

Xiao Yanli asked, while making a gesture calmly.

"People's preferences change," Xiao Lingyu seemed to be unaware of it, and his eyes were full of righteousness.

The emperor lowered his eyebrows and looked at him, and Xiao Lingyu looked at him innocently. The people around him dispersed to search for evidence, but found nothing for a long time.

Seeing that the time was getting later, the emperor sighed lightly: "Let the guards catch the bird. You are the prince, why do you have to do it yourself? Go back!"

Xiao Lingyu raised his eyebrows: "Thank you for your teachings, father."

He stood up, but Xiao Yanli's eyes were not dissatisfied at all.

When Xiao Lingyu was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone behind him say: "Your Majesty, I am a coward. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not come here to catch birds!"

Xiao Lingyu was slightly startled, and looked sideways. The man kneeling on the ground crying was Mutou.

He cried and said, "I would never dare to deceive Your Majesty. I am the prince's attendant, and I heard with my own ears that the prince came here for the treasures of the previous dynasty!"

The surroundings suddenly burst into laughter.

The emperor's face darkened: "Crown Prince?"

Xiao Lingyu knelt down again: "Father! What treasure from the previous dynasty? I don't know about this!"

He took a deep breath and calmed down: "Father, think about it. Why did he wait until you asked me to leave before he stood up? It's obvious that he was bribed!"

Mutou raised his head: "Your Majesty, I was just afraid just now. I made up my mind when I saw the crown prince was leaving. There is no one who instructed me to do this!"

Xiao Lingyu was about to speak when he was interrupted by the emperor: "The treasure from the previous dynasty is here? Where?"

Mutou pointed to a place: "Your Majesty, it's here." He hesitated: "The sixth prince's concubine is also here."

The emperor glanced at Xiao Yanli, who was shocked and looked like he didn't know anything.

He was confused and angry.

The emperor looked away. Was this the Oscar-winning acting that Zhiyu had been talking about?

If he hadn't known the inside story, he would have been fooled.

The people who had been waiting there immediately took action, opened the lid and dragged the man out.

There were obvious pinch marks on Song Shiwei's neck, and she started coughing non-stop.

Xiao Yanli took two steps at a time and stepped forward to help her breathe.

Xiao Lingyu's face turned ashen.

The scene now was a vivid example of an attempted murder to silence someone.

The emperor's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Prince, you are hello, you are doing very well!"

"Father, father, please listen to my explanation. I don't know why it is like this..."

"Now that things have come to this, does the prince still want to make excuses?" Xiao Yanli turned his head and said sternly. Song Shiwei also coughed lightly: "Prince, the prince wants to kill me, cough cough, silence me..."

Xiao Lingyu gritted his teeth.

Song Shiwei was still inputting: "The prince learned that I had treasure, cough, clues to the treasure, so he threatened me in every way. After I handed over the clues, the prince found this place yesterday."

"He set out early in the morning, thinking of finding the treasure quietly before dawn. When he leaves the city, Your Majesty can find out by asking the soldiers guarding the city."

"Just now, the prince heard the commotion, went up himself, and sent someone to watch me. Until he heard that I was here, the guard suddenly took action. If he had been a little slower, I'm afraid I would have been a corpse by now!"

"Please, Your Majesty, do this for me!"
