Chapter 172 It’s not disgusting, just don’t read it
Since Duan Dao had already run out, everyone simply sat in the hall and got back to business.
After listening to the adults talking, the fog in Tianbao's mind gradually became clear.
It turns out that the gesture Uncle Feng made in the teahouse was really an order, asking someone to pass on the message to the princess to discuss cooperation.
That's why the princess went out and Uncle Feng committed fraud.
The little kid held his chin and sighed quietly, "It's all about the tricks."
Bai Xiaofeng waved his folding fan, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "I'm just taking a gamble. If the princess isn't what I think she is, at most we can just flee the city. If she is exactly what I think she is, then things will be much easier to discuss."
Princess Changle sat back on the chaise longue, reclining, her beautiful eyes half-closed, her laughter sweet and charming. "We could have discussed it, but I was just frightened and need to rest. I don't want to discuss it now."
This is just making things difficult for yourself.
She was a princess after all, yet she was being threatened by a little kid who rode on her neck and held a knife.
If she continued to be so easy to talk to, it would ruin her reputation as a princess.
"Now that I'm in the princess's mansion, the next things will be much easier. I'll give Broken Knife a new look, and next time the princess goes out, she can take the handsome man with her to travel around the city. No one should be suspicious... as long as the news doesn't leak out." Bai Xiaofeng pretended not to hear what the princess said and spoke to himself.
When Duan Dao heard the words "change his appearance", he subconsciously looked at the little girl Bai Yu.
Bai Yu: "..." What are you looking at? What does it have to do with him? He's still feeling wronged.
Tianbao, "Uncle Feng is really good at face-changing. He used to change Uncle Changdong's face, and even I couldn't tell."
Duan Dao immediately realized that Bai Xiaofeng knew how to disguise himself.
But Bai Xiaofeng didn't really want to listen to Tianbao. He sounded as if he should feel honored that a little kid hadn't noticed his disguise.
He looked at Broken Blade, his eyebrows raised, "I'm wearing a mask, shall we start now?"
Princess Changle looked at these people talking to themselves, her face gradually darkening, "Do you think I don't exist?"
"The princess has been traveling frequently lately, secretly planning both land and sea routes. Isn't it all to get Broken Blade away? Since we share the same goal, let's be quick and decisive. Delaying this for even a day increases the risk of exposure, doesn't it?"
Princess Changle was silent for a while.
After a moment she stood up and walked out, "You help him change his appearance, I'll make other preparations."
She needs to get rid of the other spies in the mansion.
The library is some distance away from here, and Yuan Yao might have been discovered while running from there.
Princess Changle felt a little heavy in her heart.
The news that Yuan Yao was in the princess's mansion was most likely leaked.
On the surface, she is a pampered and indulged princess, but that is only on the surface.
The darkness and filth hidden behind the scenery cannot be seen unless you are there.
After Princess Changle left the hall, Duan Dao asked Bai Xiaofeng, "You said, the princess locked me up here because she wanted to send me away?"
He only guessed that the princess had no intention of harming him, but he didn't know anything else.
Bai Xiaofeng snorted softly, "During the time you were wanted, the capital was in a state of panic. As a princess, she naturally knew everything about the court's movements. She forced you into the princess's mansion from outside because she must have realized that the place you were staying was no longer safe."
Then he changed the subject, glancing at Broken Blade with a half-smile, "I'm curious, what leverage do you have over her that forces you to obey her every word? You come when she says you can, and you don't leave the house when she tells you not to? We who came to rescue you are completely baffled and have been troubled by this!"
"She knows that the young master of the Qian family is a descendant of my Yuan family."
“…”
That's even stranger.
Few people knew that the young master of the Qian family was a descendant of the Yuan family. Even he had to spend a lot of effort to investigate and guess before he got the answer.
How could Princess Changle, a woman who lived in the deep palace before marriage and focused on pleasure after marriage, know all about this?
Bai Xiaofeng suppressed his doubts in his heart and didn't ask. It was none of his business anyway.
It's their own business to worry about.
While the two were talking, his hands were moving quickly, and he was fiddling with Duan Dao's face with the mask.
During this time, Bai Yu and Tian Bao both squatted aside, bored.
Bai Yu simply pulled Tianbao aside to talk to him in private.
He tilted his chin towards the body still lying on the ground beside him. "Princess Changle left, but she didn't order anyone to clean up this place. Do you think she's deliberately trying to annoy us?"
Tian Bao was puzzled by him and frowned, "It's not disgusting, just don't look at it."
“…”
While the princess's mansion was being cleaned, in the courtyard of Dongmin's house, Du Buqin, Da Huzi and three other boys packed their bags and prepared to flee.
Looking at this place where he had lived for a short time, Du Buqin put his hands behind his back and sighed, feeling very reluctant to leave.
Su An comforted him, "Grandpa Du, if you like it here, you can come and play when you are free in the future. You are not a vagrant prisoner, you can enter and exit the city gate freely, don't be sad."
Su Wen also said, "Changjing is far from the place of exile, but it only takes a little over a month by boat. Next time you come, you can stay longer."
Su Wu, "Take me with you when you come!"
The bearded man's movements of packing his luggage became heavier, and black air came out of his body.
Take a boat? He's still targeting him, isn't he done yet?
Du Buqin reached out and patted the three boys on the head, his triangular eyes looking at the void with some sadness, "I really can't bear to let them go, there are still three families that haven't been stolen."
The third boy, "..."
Bearded man, “…”
Oh, that's just the way you are!
That afternoon, the princess's carriage appeared again on Changjing Street, speeding arrogantly down the street.
A corner of the carriage curtain was lifted as it swayed, and someone took a look inside. He happened to see that the person sitting in the carriage was the handsome young man who was kidnapped to the princess's mansion that morning.
The handsome young man sat in the car, waving a folding fan, looking relaxed and comfortable, without any sign of being forced.
As the horse ran away, people behind him spat in disdain, "Look at him, he must have been eyeing the princess for a long time and wanted to be her lover! I was wondering why he was squeezed out when there were so many people on the street this morning, everyone was crowding to the sidelines. It seems he did it on purpose, rushing to get close to her and eat her free food!"
Someone jokingly said, "Being able to eat gigolo is his own ability. His parents gave him a good face. If it was replaced by an ugly guy, let him come over and see if the princess would like him."
"What's there to discuss? Haven't we seen princesses snatch up handsome men in the street? Previous changes were fine, but this time, to put it bluntly, it was a case of both sides being willing to fight and to be beaten. Besides, the princess is really generous, so it's no wonder she wants to get close to her and live off her. Money is hard to come by these days!"
While the people were talking, a bearded man carrying a small basket of wilted vegetables from the sun, and his two sons walked over silently.
An old Taoist priest who had become a familiar face on the street recently also walked slowly towards that side with a little child, still singing in a long opera-like tune.
"Reading the fortune, reading the fortune, reading the fortune by looking at the hand, telling the fortune, accurate prediction, one divination, ten taels of silver--!"
