Prince Ming was stunned. Why did his precious daughter mention that His Majesty had come?
"Dear girl, what do you mean by that?"
Wanyue let go of Prince Ming's hand and patted the mud off her hands.
Seeing the thirst for knowledge on Prince Ming's face, Wanyue decided to answer the old man's questions.
After all, she is such a beautiful, kind, lovely and intelligent person, how could she have the heart to keep the person involved in the dark?
"The Emperor has long since abandoned you, leaving the three of you to fend for yourselves in this bandit den."
You work hard for others, but they forget about you the moment they turn around.
So old man, be more careful.
After hearing this, Prince Ming's face did not show much shock, nor even a hint of sadness or disappointment.
Prince Ming, on the other hand, began to show concern for others. "Hey, that's not right. I can understand why the old emperor doesn't care about me. After all, he has long disliked our family. But little Feng is his own son. Doesn't he even care about his own son?"
Wanyue spread her hands. She had also been puzzled by this question before.
Prince Ming and Wanyue turned their heads simultaneously. Feng Chen, standing beside them, was stunned when he met their... pitying gazes.
Feng Chen: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
What's wrong with me?
Let you look at me with that kind of pity.
Wanyue turned her head away and studied the wall next to her to see if there was any mechanism that could trigger the secret passage so that she could escape with the three of them.
Prince Ming also turned his head, bent down and jumped into the pit he had dug to pick up the shovel.
In life, we should still retain some beautiful fantasies.
No matter how bad other people’s fathers are, that’s their business and none of their business.
After groping on the wall for a long time, Wanyue did not find any mechanism.
Since she couldn't find it, Wanyue gave up.
It has been a while since then, and the four big men who went out to eat should be back.
Wanyue suddenly thought of a question. It seemed that she... was not the one delivering the food.
There was no food outside.
So what did those four big guys go out to eat?
If a normal person went out and didn't see any food, he would immediately realize that he had been cheated and come back to make trouble for her.
But so much time has passed and the four men have not returned.
Wanyue was puzzled by this.
Just as she was thinking about it, Wanyue heard footsteps outside.
It should be those four big men who have returned.
Wanyue said hello to Prince Ming and Feng Chen, turned around and walked out. Looking at the iron door that she had pried open, Wanyue reached out and pulled out the hairpin from her head, turned it against the lock a few times, and after a few seconds, the lock was back to normal.
Putting the hairpin back on her head and closing the iron door, Wanyue walked forward a few steps and then stood at attention.
As soon as I stood up, four big men came out from the aisle.
Wanyue glanced at them secretly and did not find any signs of anger on the part of the four people.
So... did you guys have dinner?
The big men came over, arm in arm, and greeted Wanyue cheerfully, "Sister, please keep watch for me. Everything is fine here, go and do your own thing."
Wanyue readily replied, "It's no bother, no bother. Brothers, do you like today's meal?"
The big men nodded, "It's OK, there's wine and food, but the food is a little small."
One of the big men complained, "Those two outside almost ate all the food. Luckily we got out in time, otherwise we wouldn't have any food left."
Wanyue suddenly remembered the two big men she knocked unconscious outside. They seemed to have been drinking and playing finger-guessing games.
Oh, it’s really hard for us brothers to eat leftovers.
"As long as it suits your taste, brothers, you have worked hard guarding the dungeon."
This sentence was obviously very helpful, and the four big men quickly treated Wanyue as one of their own.
Five people gathered together, chatting with each other.
Wanyue couldn't help but throw out some small questions from time to time, and soon, the four men handed over all the details they knew.
Wanyue went over the questions she had just asked in her mind, and then she came to a conclusion: the bandits on this hilltop... seemed to have no simple identities.
This dungeon not only held Prince Ming and his men, but also the families of some ministers in the court, and there were quite a few of them.
These normal bandits kill people for money. As long as they get the money, they don’t care whether you live or die.
But the bandits here are completely different.
Not only did he not ask for money, he also supported the families of so many ministers for free.
Wanyue smelled a hint of conspiracy from it.
"Sister, you've been here chatting with us brothers for so long, go back and do your own thing. Otherwise, the manager will make things difficult for you."
"It's okay, I'm the injured one, the manager can't blame me."
Wanyue raised her chubby hands and felt at ease to label herself as a wounded patient.
The big men lowered their heads and gathered around Wanyue's hand to look at it. One of them asked in confusion, "Sister, where did your hand get cut? Why is your entire palm held up?"
Wanyue rolled her eyes a few times and began to make up a story, "I was chopping ribs a few days ago and accidentally cut my palm, so I wrapped it up."
Did you chop your palm while cutting ribs?
Is this hand still there?
The big men were shocked by what Wanyue said.
Wanyue raised her chubby hand and waved, "Don't worry, brothers. The hand is still there, just a little bone attached. The doctor said it will heal."
The big men began to look at Wanyue with sympathy. This girl was so pitiful, she almost had her hand chopped off.
Wanyue blinked and began to climb up the pole, pretending to rub her eyes a few times. "My minor injury is nothing. It's you brothers who are working harder. You work so hard every day to guard the dungeon. I should do all this!"
The big men were moved by what she said. One by one, two by four, they all gathered around and patted Wanyue on the shoulder. "Sister, you're seriously ill. You should rest and be safe after cooking. Only when you're well can you continue to cook for the brothers, right?"
Wanyue wiped the corners of her eyes and looked up with red eyes, "My brothers are so kind! I will definitely try my best to cook for you in the future!"
Seeing the four men completely immersed in emotion, Wanyue curled her lips, her eyes glittering with cunning. "Brothers, do you know what these people in the dungeon are used for?"
The big men simply ignored the brainstorming process and answered one after another, "Big Brother said that these people are reserved for future use."
"Big brother said he's taken on a big order. As long as he completes it successfully, all the brothers in the village will be able to become officials in the court!"
"Big brother said that as long as we complete this job, we brothers will be very successful in the future!"
“…”
After listening to this, Wanyue fell into deep thought.
