Even if Xiao Mingye was beaten to death, he would never tell the story again.
"Your Highness was just catching up with Wen Jing," Xiao Mingye said with difficulty, "and we didn't discuss anything else. As for the uprising, Gouzi, don't take it too seriously. Just treat it as my nonsense."
The staff member was furious: "Call me by my name!"
"Okay, dog. Got it, dog."
Xiao Mingye said perfunctorily, and without paying any attention to his staff who were jumping up and down, he went to lie down on the bed.
Gou Zi, the aide now known as Du Chen, sneered.
Xiao Mingye also sneered.
Just looking at their names, do you think Du Chen and Du Chi are brothers? Actually, they are not brothers at all. They are just acquaintances away from being brothers.
Because he was obsessed with Duchi's painting skills, he didn't even want the name he gave himself, and insisted on being called Duchi!
It sounds so ugly!
Dogs sound better than dogs!
Besides, it’s easy to maintain a bad reputation!
Xiao Mingye was lying on the bed, and was angry even if he ignored her.
Du Chen glanced at the cabinet and realized that he was not sick as he had imagined. He curled his lips slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go ask Jiang Wenjing what happened later."
Xiao Mingye: "!!! You dare!"
He jumped up from the bed and looked at Du Chan warily.
Du Chen was not afraid at all: "Guess if I dare."
Xiao Mingye: "..."
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, that's enough."
Du blinked angrily, having achieved his goal. Since he wasn't going to rebel anyway, there was nothing more to discuss. He was about to leave when Xiao Mingye behind him said weakly, "What's going on between Prince Yu and Prince Nan Gu?"
All of them were angry: "???"
His eyes looked as if he was looking at some rare animal: "You don't know?"
Xiao Mingye: "..."
He was quite angry and embarrassed: "What's so strange about this! I'm not a god, how can I know everything!"
After roaring, he suddenly thought of Jiang Zhiyu.
Since she even knew her own ending, she should be well aware of these things.
Knowing so much, isn't she a little god?
Did she know Du Chen's fate? If she died, would that little fool Du Chen die with her?!
Du Chen shuddered as he watched Xiao Yanli's expression change from rage to sorrow, and became more and more curious about what had happened to him.
"I will tell you what Your Highness said in detail."
As Du Chen was talking, he was thinking to himself that he must find some time to go there and get some information.
While listening, Xiao Mingye was thinking about finding another reason to meet Jiang Zhiyu, and at the same time, get the ending of Du Chen from her.
…
Xiao Chuji had been quiet for a while because of the Bai Yueguang incident, but now, perhaps he sensed something was wrong and returned to his old ways, pestering Yurong. Just as He Yanting said, he suspected Jiang Kangan and even sent him an invitation to come to his house for a chat.
Jiang Kangan held the invitation in his hand as if it were a hot potato.
Whenever he thought of Xiao Chuji now, he would recall the fear of being dominated by the young fish in the past few weeks.
Even though they were inside the house and the stove was still burning brightly, Jiang Kangan shivered.
Why is this person biting me like a mad dog?
Jiang Kangan had also checked. The only time he and Xiao Chuji's white moonlight had ever met was when she was robbed by bandits and he saved her life. He shouldn't have seen her again since then.
Jiang Kangan sighed softly. Jiang Zhiyu happened to be passing by. She teleported behind him and glanced at the invitation. She said in a dark tone, "Why is this person haunting us?"
Although Jiang Kang'an was startled by her sudden voice, his long-trained muscle memory allowed him to take action in an instant and grab Jiang Zhiyu's hand that was about to poison her.
Jiang Zhiyu nodded with satisfaction.
【All the hard work these days has not been in vain.】
Jiang Kangan: “…”
He laughed and asked, "How about it, do you want to go?"
"Of course." Jiang Zhiyu said without hesitation.
After all, she was very free, and someone offered himself to her, so of course she wanted to have fun.
The two reached a consensus, and the carriage soon arrived at the Second Prince's residence.
Xiao Chuji was too lazy to put on a show, so his servants naturally followed suit, looking down on everyone and being extremely arrogant.
"Come with me," the attendant glanced at Jiang Kang'an's legs and muttered softly, "What's the use of curing him? He's still a useless person."
Jiang Kangan seemed not to hear it.
Jiang Zhiyu's fingertips moved slightly.
“Ouch!”
The guide stepped on a stone, and with a cracking sound, his ankle and calf became almost at a right angle. The pain made him break out in a cold sweat, and he hugged his leg and cried.
The people who came after hearing the noise were startled. Two servants carried him away, leaving one to lead the way. Perhaps because he was frightened by what happened just now, he walked extremely cautiously.
It was not until he saw Xiao Chuji that he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated.
Xiao Chuji was kneeling in front of the table, with a string of Buddhist beads placed beside the tea. Hearing the voice, he chuckled and said, "What a big show of power."
It refers to the servant's sprained ankle just now.
After so many days of inexplicable confusion, Jiang Kang'an no longer wanted to show any good face to the person in front of him. He said in a cold voice: "I have seen the way His Royal Highness the Second Prince controls his subordinates."
Xiao Chuji ignored the sarcasm in his tone and said straight to the point: "Are you sending people to investigate Yurong? Why?"
Jiang Kangan deliberately revealed the news to him so that he could have a good talk with him like this. Otherwise, he would always speak in riddles and communication would be difficult.
He deliberately tried to provoke Xiao Chuji and said, "I wonder if Your Highness is referring to the dead one or the living one."
Xiao Chuji's eyes were stern, and his voice was a little sharp: "She's not dead!"
The loss of composure lasted only a moment. Xiao Chuji looked at Jiang Kangan coldly, his voice flat: "Shouldn't you know this better than me? In her, I also saw a beautiful face."
"puff……"
After Xiao Chuji finished speaking, Jiang Zhiyu couldn't help but burst out laughing. Xiao Chuji looked at her unhappily: "Why, what did your Highness say to make Miss Jiang laugh like this? Why don't you tell me so that your Highness can hear it too."
【You asked for this yourself.】
Jiang Zhiyu coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said, "Nothing, I just remembered a story I read a while ago."
"The hero in this story lost his beloved and traveled the world looking for someone who looked like him, to serve as a substitute and stay by his side."
One day, under a dark and windy moon, the hero misses his beloved. He asks his double to wear his beloved's clothes to ease his longing. Unexpectedly, the double, in the dim moonlight, looks incredibly like his beloved, almost like they are the same person.
Jiang Zhiyu raised the corner of his lips: "Your Highness, why not guess how the male protagonist will react."
