Chapter 504: Live Well Under One Person
Yuan Xiaonian did not answer immediately.
"Prince, do you suspect that my brother's death... is related to the Empress?" Zuo Jiali continued to ask with raised eyebrows.
Yuan Xiaonian smiled helplessly, "I didn't say that, and neither did the prince."
He suddenly realized a problem: he couldn't persuade this person at all.
On the surface, Zuo Jiali puts himself in a low position, calling himself the Second Prince all the time, but in reality, he has a determination in his bones that is not afraid of anything.
Yuan Xiaonian suddenly thought of his past self. At that time, the sentence he said to himself most often was: Just do it even if you have a miserable life.
At that time, he felt that he had nothing and had nothing to be afraid of losing, so he really was not afraid of anything.
Yuan Xiaonian felt that this was what Zuo Jiali was thinking now, and even the person Zuo Jiali hated in his heart might be the queen.
He pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, "Okay, it seems that I really can't help you, then I will go back first."
He did not stay any longer or try any other way, because he knew that the more times he failed, the more determined Zuo Jiali would be in his choice.
Yuan Xiaonian went back alone, he wanted to give another opportunity to Li Suining.
Just now, when Zuo Jiali saw Li Suining, he naturally hugged her and pinched her cheek affectionately. All of this was expressed naturally.
If there is anyone in this world that Zuo Jiali still cares about, it should be Li Suining.
After Yuan Xiaonian returned, he stood at the door and called Li Suining out.
"Second Prince, what's wrong?" Little Dumpling looked at Yuan Xiaonian in confusion. "What's the matter with you calling me out?"
Yuan Xiaonian squatted in front of Li Suining and said, "I want to give you a task!"
"Mission?" Li Suining's eyes lit up. "What mission? Is it important?"
Yuan Xiaonian nodded, "Xiao Suining, did you know? Your brother Zuo will soon become the new imperial teacher."
Li Suining was faintly excited. "Second Prince also knows about this? Did the Crown Prince tell you?"
Yuan Xiaonian nodded. He was surprised that Yuan Huaihong also told Li Suining about this matter.
He didn't ask in detail and continued, "Then do you know whose idea it was for Zuo Jiali to become the Imperial Preceptor?"
This time, Li Suining shook her head. She really hadn't asked Xingxing about this matter.
"It's the Queen!" Yuan Xiaonian said to himself.
"Empress?" Li Suining was a little surprised. "So that's how it is!"
"We have to stop him!" Yuan Xiaonian shook the little girl's arm, wanting her to listen carefully to what he was going to say next. "We can't let Zuo Jiali become the Empress's pawn. That would be very dangerous. Besides, the Empress would definitely make Zuo Jiali do a lot of bad things and make him become a bad guy like his brother."
Hearing this, Li Suining's expression changed, "Really?"
She asked Yuan Xiaonian a question, and at the same time asked the stars in her heart. When she looked up at the sky again, she saw a completely different Zuo Jiali, and... Zuo Jiali who died in Kunning Palace.
She covered her mouth in fear. She was so stupid that she thought Brother Zuo had become the national teacher and could keep Sister Fuxing company. She thought this was a good thing, but she didn't expect that she was completely wrong.
"Brother Second Prince, what should we do? How can we help Brother Zuo?" Li Suining was so scared that his little body began to tremble, and his voice was a little choked.
Yuan Xiaonian suddenly felt that he might have exaggerated a little, which was why he scared the little girl.
"Don't be afraid, dear, don't be afraid. We just need to stop Zuo Jiali from becoming the Imperial Master." Yuan Xiaonian asked her seriously, "Do you think your brother Zuo likes you?"
Li Suining nodded and said, "I think I'll like it."
"Then go and tell him not to work for the Queen, and tell him to think more about you. You need this brother, do you understand?" Yuan Xiaonian saw that Zuo Jiali was already walking back with the fruit plate.
He quickly confirmed with Li Suining, "Do you understand what I said?"
Li Suining nodded, not quite understanding what was said. She understood that Brother Zuo was being asked to give up the idea of becoming the Imperial Master.
"Okay, Zuo Jiali is here, you go talk to him." Yuan Xiaonian stood up and took the initiative to step forward, "Give it to me, let Tuanzi talk to you."
Zuo Jiali handed the thing to Yuan Xiaonian hesitantly. He looked down at the little girl and guessed what Yuan Xiaonian was planning.
He sneered, "Second Prince, there's really no need to worry so much. I've already decided..."
"Brother Zuo!" Little Tuanzi tugged at Zuo Jiali's clothes. "I want to take a walk outside. Can you accompany me?"
Zuo Jiali hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay!"
"Then I'll go back first." Yuan Xiaonian winked at Li Suining, turned around and went back first.
After he entered the room, he saw Fuxing still sitting there motionless, but his hood had been taken off. When he saw him come in, he subconsciously took a look at him.
"Zuo Jiali and Li Suining said they wanted to go for a walk together and will be back soon." Yuan Xiaonian strode over and sat down opposite Fuxing. "Have some fruit."
Fuxing didn't react much, his calm eyes gently fell on the empty seat next to him.
"What are your plans for the future?" Yuan Xiaonian asked seemingly unintentionally.
Fuxing shook his head.
"You also know, right? The Queen has chosen Zuo Jiali to be the next Imperial Preceptor."
Fuxing nodded.
"So what do you think?" Yuan Xiaonian looked over at him, "Do you still want to stay in the palace? Is there anything you want to do?"
Fuxing didn't react much, neither nodding nor shaking his head, as if he didn't want to answer Yuan Xiaonian's question.
Yuan Xiaonian was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke again, "I hope you don't take what happened in the tavern last time to heart. I had no other choice under the circumstances back then."
This time, Fuxing finally moved, dipped his hand in tea and wrote on the table: I forgot.
However, Yuan Xiaonian knew that she could not forget, and he did not care. He just did not understand what someone like Fuxing wanted, and what was her purpose in staying in the palace?
"Do you...want to leave the palace?" He turned and asked tentatively, "If you do, I can find a way to help you."
Fuxing quickly wrote down two more words: cooperation!
"You still want to cooperate with me?" Yuan Xiaonian was slightly surprised. "Are you still willing to trust me?"
Fuxing wrote: Each takes what he needs.
Yuan Xiaonian frowned, "But I don't know what you want."
Fuxing wrote: Live.
Yuan Xiaonian was increasingly confused. If Fuxing was simply trying to survive, she could live anywhere, hiding her identity and past. Why choose such a dangerous place as the Imperial Palace?
Fuxing seemed to see his confusion and continued to write: Live well under one person.
