Despite her complaints, Yuan Dan had already forgotten that Gan Wang was a jealous person when Xiao Changqi splashed water to help her wash her wings.
When the imperial edict was issued, Yuan Qing, Luo Feng and the others had already guessed that the emperor would send Xiao Changqi to Tongzhou to meet the enemy, but they did not expect that the Fifth Prince would also be there as the supervising officer.
Everyone was discussing the possible accidents that might happen on the road.
Yuan Qing analyzed with a solemn expression: "The Crown Prince's advice to the Emperor to let the Prince and the Fifth Prince go to Tongzhou together must be ill-intentioned. So I think he is very likely to harm the Prince and the Fifth Prince on the way."
Sun Jianchou nodded in agreement: "If we succeed in injuring the Fifth Prince, we can directly frame him. Even if we fail to frame him, the Emperor will still punish the Prince for failing to protect him properly."
"But if it's a prince..."
The people below were all brainstorming ideas for the trip to Tongzhou, while the man in the seat of honor was passing notes to Xiaoniao.
To make it easier for the bird to write, Xiao Changqi specially had a small and exquisite calligraphy brush made, which greatly reduced the weight when the bird held the brush in its beak to write.
“I really can’t go to Tongzhou with you?” Yuan Dan wrote on the paper, then put down her pen to let her beak rest.
Xiao Changqi also wrote: "No."
On New Year's Day, she was still trying to persuade her husband: "I won't cause you any trouble."
"The situation in Tongzhou is critical. The Li Dan people are coming with great force. This journey requires traveling day and night at top speed. How can you possibly go?"
Yuandan knew the man was right, but she couldn't bring herself to stay in the capital and wait for news peacefully.
She didn't know when it started, but she had gotten used to being by a man's side every day.
Seeing the little bird hanging its head and not speaking, a hint of helplessness appeared in Xiao Changqi's cold and hard eyes. He then wrote on the paper, "There are no bamboo fruits for you to eat in Tongzhou."
In her haste on New Year's Day, she blurted out, "Chirp chirp chirp."
I don't just eat bamboo seeds.
Other fruits can also be eaten.
Then, the chirping of birds interrupted the conversation in the room, and silence returned.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Yuan Qing: Was Your Highness really listening to what we were saying just now?
Sun Jianchou: Your Highness really wants to turn Xiao Yuanyuan into a monstrous bird that brings disaster to the country.
Luo Feng: ...
Chang Jiu: What kind of bewitching potion did this little bird give the prince?
Xiao Changqi indifferently raised his eyes and glanced at everyone: "Is everything alright?"
Everyone: "..."
Luo Feng then stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Highness, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should."
Xiao Changqi nodded: "Speak."
"The rumors that you favored only one bird were just to mislead the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Now that you are about to go to Tongzhou, as the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. So, you see..." Luo Feng glanced at the round little bird perched on the table, "Do you want to clarify something?"
New Year:"……"
Deputy General Luo.
Don't think I didn't notice the way you looked at that wicked concubine who brought ruin to the country.
"No need." Xiao Changqi patted the little bird's head, his tone indifferent. "This matter is not entirely just a rumor."
Luo Feng hurriedly said, "Your Highness, how can someone who aspires to great things be concerned with a mere pet..."
A cold, sharp gaze shot towards Luo Feng, causing him to choke on his words.
I can't make a sound no matter what I do.
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Seeing this, Sun Jianchou quickly spoke up to ease the situation, saying, "Little Yuanyuan, I recently got a bird egg. After we go to Tongzhou, could you take care of it for me?"
New Year's Day: "Chirp chirp chirp??"
What kind of bird egg?
Why should we take care of her?
She herself is still just a little bird.
Before Yuandan could even refuse, Xiao Changqi had already said, "This king will not keep a third bird."
That ugly sparrow has been taking up way too much of the little bird's time.
