wood:"???!!!"
After they said this, Mu Tou suddenly had a new understanding of Xiao Lingyu's cruelty.
but……
There's no mention of this in the intelligence!
Isn’t it said that the prince has a gentle temperament and never beats or scolds his servants easily?
Mu Tou looked a little suspicious.
The two people next to him were completely unaware and just focused on completing their tasks.
"Don't disbelieve me, haven't you ever seen His Highness beating or scolding servants, yet at night, you can hear wailing?"
Mu Tou nodded.
"See, that's because we don't dare cry out loud during the day!"
"Which master in the capital never punishes his servants? It happened in the middle of the night. You're lucky that you haven't offended His Highness in all these days. If it weren't for us today, you..."
Before he could finish his words, the sound of a teacup breaking was heard in the room!
The wood trembled all over.
This wasn't over yet. Voices kept coming one after another. Just as Mu Tou was about to get closer, they carried him away again: "Hurry up, hurry up. If His Highness comes out soon, your life will be in danger!"
Mu Tou was skeptical.
However, with so many people listening outside, there is indeed a risk of being exposed. It is better to follow them first and get some information from them.
…
inside the house.
The ground was a mess.
Ji You didn't have the initial collapse anymore. He sat calmly on the chair, picked up the teacup and threw it to the ground: "Everything else I said was false, but the fact that I had to come back and that I had no choice was true."
"My hometown can be summed up in one sentence: poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. Besides, there's no decent doctor there. They're all old, so how could I possibly let them stay there?"
Xiao Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Is it Xiao Yanli?"
"Yes," Ji You chuckled, "The old house had long been occupied by bandits. They probably thought they were guards, so killing them all was considered a good deed."
"Let's get back to the point. After his people showed me around, they hinted at something in their words and in the name of revenge, they asked me to keep coming back to gather information."
"The one standing next to you just now, I vaguely remember meeting him once, but I can't remember clearly."
Xiao Lingyu sighed softly: "I knew that the smart ones are all other people's subordinates."
Ji You looked at him silently.
Xiao Lingyu looked at him.
The two of them stared at each other for a while before Xiao Lingyu suddenly realized, "You're not my subordinate, so you don't count."
Only then did Ji You withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
As the two men were discussing, a man hurriedly approached the house. He didn't dare open the door, but shouted loudly, "Your Highness, the Sixth Prince's concubine is here to see you!"
Song Shiwei?
What is she here for?
Ji You stood up and hid behind the screen. Xiao Lingyu said with a tone of lingering anger, "Bring him in."
"yes!"
When he opened the door and saw the mess in the room, Song Shiwei opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Xiao Lingyu's dark eyes seemed to be filled with dark clouds. He looked at her impatiently and said, "Why did you come to see me?"
"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 and asked, "Your Highness, do you know anything about the treasure of the previous dynasty?"
Xiao Lingyu's eyes flickered: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Song Shi lowered her eyes slightly, and said in a deliberately low voice with a hint of temptation: "I have clues to 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: "Now that you know the location, why are you looking for me instead of telling your husband?"
Song Shi paused for a moment, then reached out and took off his hood.
Xiao Lingyu was stunned.
Her face was covered with scars, making her look hideous and terrifying.
Song Shiwei held back her tears and choked up, saying, "If I'm not happy with something, he'll whip me." Song Shiwei trembled and lifted her sleeves, revealing her scarred arms. "Your Highness, please look. I'm afraid that one day, he'll beat me to death!"
"This is a marriage granted by His Majesty, and since he is a prince, my father is powerless to do anything. My words carry little weight, and after much deliberation, I have no choice but to ask for help from Your Highness!"
She knelt down neatly, not caring about the broken pieces of teacup on the ground, and kowtowed to Xiao Lingyu: "Your Highness, I don't ask for anything. I only ask that when Your Highness ascends the throne tomorrow, you can grant me a divorce."
"Please, Your Highness! Please, Your Highness!"
Her hands had already started bleeding, and her tone was extremely desperate and helpless.
If Xiao Lingyu didn't know her true nature, he would probably feel sympathy for her.
"Alright, get up now," Xiao Lingyu pretended to be reluctant: "Where is the location?"
Song Shiwei told the location.
"I'll 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 ran away secretly. I don't know what the Sixth Prince is busy with recently. He won't come to my room. I have already given instructions."
"Okay, stay here for the next few days to recuperate. Go and ask the people outside to clean up a room for you, and let the imperial physician in the palace see you."
Song Shiwei was flattered: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
…
The door opened and closed again, and Ji You slowly walked out from behind the screen.
"There must be something fishy going on here. It's not appropriate for Your Highness to keep her in the mansion like this."
Xiao Lingyu waved his hand: "It's okay, for the treasure of the previous dynasty, it's worth taking some risks."
"Your Highness!" Ji You raised his voice. "Your position as Crown Prince is secure. Why take this risk? Besides, the Emperor is in his prime. Her suggestion of ascending the throne is clearly an attempt to incite you to rebellion!"
This...
Xiao Lingyu raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a half-smile: "Is the position of Crown Prince now secure? I remember someone said that before."
"Before, it was because the other princes were eyeing us covetously. Now the Second Prince poses no threat, and the Sixth Prince is at the end of his rope. As long as we..."
"Alright," Xiao Lingyu interrupted Ji You, "I have my own opinion on this matter."
According to the plan, Xiao Yanli should take action against him, so don't disrupt the plan.
Ji You closed his mouth unwillingly, looked at Xiao Lingyu, touched his chin, and said abruptly: "Why does it seem to me that His Highness is happy to see this happen?"
What's the truth about "what nonsense"?
Xiao Lingyu glared at him angrily.
"Don't come out these few days. Just stay in the dungeon."
…
On the other side, the man who was being carried away was completely dazed.
He stared blankly at the two people beside him opening and closing their mouths. He knew they were talking, but there was no sound in his ears.
But it doesn't matter. It must be that when the prince was young, he accidentally fell or something, and took his anger out on his servants, causing millions of corpses to be scattered and blood to flow for thousands of miles.
His ears are getting calloused.
It seems that these two illiterate people only know these two idioms and keep using them.
I didn't get the information out yet, but my mind was almost brainwashed by these two idioms.
