Chapter 112 This Matter Is Ultimately a Hidden Danger

When the Second Prince heard this, he nodded and said, "This is a good opportunity."

Concubine Zhuang Guifei: "There's always something going on at the palace banquet. Because of that barrel, it's hard to have a peaceful Mid-Autumn night today. If you want to do something, then the next Double Ninth Festival banquet will be a better start."

The Second Prince: "Mother is absolutely right."

Concubine Zhuang frowned slightly: "But, that Tong Tong is so powerful, will he know what we are planning?"

The second prince shook his head and said, "Don't worry, mother. I forgot to tell you that Tong Tong knows very little. He only knows the original plot and nothing else."

"That's good." Concubine Zhuang nodded, then frowned and asked, "But how do you know that what we are planning is not in the original plot?"

Concubine Zhuang's question stumped the Second Prince. He was stunned for a long time, and quickly recalled all the big and small things that had happened in the past few months. Then he said firmly, "I think mother is worrying too much."

Concubine Zhuang asked, "What do you mean?"

The Second Prince: "As far as I know, in the original story, there was no such thing as a barrel beside Xiao Jiu. She was just an unloved little girl. We have no reason to do this."

Concubine Zhuang nodded: "That makes sense."

The second prince continued, "Besides, most of the things that happened a while ago never happened in the original plot. With the third and fifth princes at the forefront, we should just sit back and watch the tigers fight. Even if we have any plans, we shouldn't do it so early."

After hearing the Second Prince's well-reasoned analysis, Concubine Zhuang was completely relieved: "Then let's hold it at the Chongyang Palace Banquet. Then we can kill two birds with one stone."

The second prince's tone was filled with some excitement that could not be concealed: "That's great."

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, after Concubine Zhuang and her son left their seats, Ji Jinyou chatted with Tong Tong for a while. There was nothing interesting and the little girl felt sleepy again and yawned continuously.

When the Queen saw the fat kid in her arms start to droop his eyelids, she asked Concubine Ru to take him back to rest first. Ji Jinyou hugged the Queen's neck and put his cheek against hers, then was carried away by Concubine Ru.

On the way back to Miaoyunxuan, Rufei held the fat, sleepy lady in her arms, and did not forget to call Seventeen to follow.

Seventeen's little hand held onto Concubine Ru's sleeve. Hearing her panting from exhaustion, he whispered, "Mother, Seventeen will eat more and grow up quickly. In the future, Seventeen will come to hold his sister, and then Mother won't have to work so hard."

Ru Fei smiled with relief: "Our Seventeen is really a good and filial child."

The little boy smiled shyly and rubbed his little face against Concubine Ru's arm.

Ji Jinyou was lying on Ru Fei's shoulder in a daze. When she heard what Shiqi said, she raised her little head and asked in a baby voice, "Is mother tired?"

Ru Fei patted the little girl's round butt and said with a smile, "Not tired."

Ji Jinyou yawned, and then lay back on Ru Fei's shoulder, mumbling, "Youyou is too heavy. I will eat less in the future."

This made everyone in the group couldn't help laughing.

Ji Jinyou sighed to the system in her heart: [Tong, I really like the present life. I really hope it can always be like this and we are all fine. ]

The system comforted him: [Don't worry, Youzi'er. The plot is so confusing now. You and Concubine Ru will be safe.]

On the second day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ji Jinyou went to the courtyard to play with Xue Yili as agreed in advance.

Before she reached the door, she saw him standing at the gate waiting for her from a distance. She got down from Jin Xing's arms and ran over with her short legs.

Thinking that the little girl said she would come to see him today, Xue Yili waited at the door early in the morning. Seeing the round and pink girl running towards him with a smile, he couldn't help but smile. He walked over quickly and picked up the little girl steadily: "Little princess, you are here."

Seeing that he was smiling particularly brightly today, Ji Jinyou couldn't help but ask curiously, "My little prince, is there any good news? Why do you seem so happy?"

Xue Yili secretly admired the girl's sharpness, and smiled calmly: "It's a good thing to see the little princess."

Ji Jinyou thought that he had spent the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, and that she was so happy to see her only friend, so she stretched out her two small round arms to hold his neck and gave him a big hug: "My little prince, I will come to accompany you more often when I am free in the future."

Xue Yili thought about his plan, was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Xue Yili carried the little girl into the house, took off her shoes, put her on the couch, and pointed to the fruits and snacks that had been prepared on the table: "Eat them."

Ji Jinyou shook her head and said she was not hungry. She waved to Xue Yili and said, "Your Highness, let's continue learning calligraphy."

Xue Yili sat next to the little girl, reached out and touched her little head, and said, "Little Princess, can we not learn calligraphy today?"

Ji Jinyou was puzzled and tilted her head to look at him: "Why?"

Xue Yili smiled and reached out to gently pinch her round little face: "I just want to talk to you."

Ji Jinyou thought that Xiao Yuzi was only a nine-year-old child, and maybe she was tired of teaching her, so he stopped thinking about it, nodded his head, and asked, "Then what do you want to say, Your Highness?"

Xue Yili: "Can I tell you about Dayao?"

Alas, poor child, you must be homesick again. Ji Jinyou clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay."

Xue Yili began to talk: "In the north of Dayao, there is an endless grassland. On the grassland there are eagles, horses, rabbits, and wild flowers all over the mountains..."

When talking about his hometown, Xue Yili's beautiful eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky, extremely bright.

Ji Jinyou was fascinated by what she was watching and listening intently. She just stared at him blankly until Xue Yili finished speaking.

Xue Yili couldn't help but smile and waved his hand in front of her: "Little Princess?"

Ji Jinyou came back to his senses and blinked his big eyes: "Your Highness, you guys in Dayao are really fun. I have never been to the grassland before."

Xue Yili took the little girl's round hand, suppressed his smile, and said seriously, "Then when you come to Dayao to play in the future, I will take you to the grassland to ride horses, okay?"

Seeing that he was so serious, Ji Jinyou certainly would not be the one to spoil the fun, and nodded his head: "Okay, I will definitely go and play in the future."

Xue Yili smiled and stretched out his right little finger: "Then we have a deal."

Ji Jinyou also stretched out her short little finger, hooked it with Xue Yili's finger and pulled it: "Hook."

After they made their promises, Ji Jinyou asked in her heart: [Everything, in the original storyline, when did Little Proton return to Dayao? ]

Xue Yili's heart tightened. The little princess had only said that he would return to Dayao and inherit the throne, but she did not mention how old he would be when he returned, nor did she say how he would return.

If his and his uncle's plan was already in the original plot, wouldn't it be exposed?

The little princess couldn't tell anyone about these things. He wasn't worried about her, but if Tong Tong knew about it, he might tell others at any time and under what circumstances. That would be a problem.

Xue Yili's gaze fell on the little girl's face. He held his breath unconsciously, waiting quietly for Tong Tong's answer.

The system flipped through the pages and said: [The summary says that when the little proton was over ten years old and had grown into an adult, it was not suitable for him to live in the harem anymore, so Emperor Wen Zhao allocated him a house outside the palace and asked him to move out. He returned to Dayao only after leaving the palace.]

Ji Jinyou asked again: [How did he get back? Did Yaoguo come to pick him up? ]

System answer: [No, it was said that his mother was murdered, and he got the news and ran away secretly.]

[He should go back then.] Ji Jinyou said, and then curiously asked: [Who killed his mother?]

The system didn't even need to look it up, it just answered: [Those people have nothing to do with the main plot, so I didn't mention them at all.]

Xue Yili frowned slightly, and his hands clenched involuntarily under his sleeves. In the original plot, his mother was actually harmed by someone, and now that he went back early, he would definitely be able to save her.

He had worried before that Tong Tong would tell others about his future destruction of Dayao, but so far no one had taken action against him. Based on Emperor Wen Zhao's ruthless and swift methods, he guessed that Tong Tong had never mentioned it to anyone else.

However, this matter is ultimately a hidden danger, so it is better for him to leave as soon as possible.

Also, since in the original plot, he returned to Dayao several years later, the plan between him and his uncle did not happen in the original plot.

Or did their plan fail?
