Chapter 321 Little Bird Knocking on the Wall
Little did Qiuqiu know that a commotion had broken out at the post station; she was now clinging tightly to... no, tightly to the prince's neck.
Their legs are tired!
The crown prince's face darkened: "Let go."
Chirp shook its head, refusing to let go.
[If I let go, I won't hold you anymore; I don't want to leave.]
The prince thought to himself that this little guy was quite clever, but if she didn't let go soon, she would strangle him to death!
"Release your grip, let me catch my breath."
Chiu Chiu let out a long sigh of relief, her strength dissipating, but her chubby arms still clung to the Crown Prince. Seeing her pitiful appearance, the Crown Prince's heart softened, "Fine, it's not like I can't hold you."
What, is this guy trying to abandon me? This heartless man stole someone's young daughter and won't take responsibility!
These outrageous scumbag quotes shocked the prince, leaving him speechless for a long time.
He was indeed quite ruthless, a hallmark of a future emperor. Someone else's youngest daughter??? If he had married the Crown Princess two years earlier, his daughter might already be older than her!
Speaking of the Crown Princess...
"Chirp chirp, I've heard you're exceptionally good at matchmaking?"
The matchmaker, Qiuqiu, is highly praised throughout the capital!
Chiu Chiu stared warily at the lovesick prince for a while, then her merciless little slap landed on his shoulder. Her heavy, childlike voice carried three parts indifference, five parts disdain, and two parts nonchalance, "Want to pee!"
Crown Prince: "???"
How dare you think about women when your great cause is not yet accomplished!
Has the Turkic people been defeated?
Did the idiot brother kill him?
How can there be such a man who lacks ambition?!
[What man is afraid of not having a wife!]
When faced with Qiuqiu's accusation, the Crown Prince learned what it meant to feel guilty for the first time. Qiuqiu is such an inspiring child!
Chiu Chiu: [Why isn't he saying anything? Sigh, I shouldn't have scolded him.]
The Crown Prince was surprised that Qiuqiu felt guilty; it was no wonder he had spoken well of her to his father. Otherwise, Marquis Wenyang would have been in deep trouble just for her abducting the Turkic prince.
[After all, he could die at any moment!]
After careful consideration, Qiuqiu felt it was still necessary to find a wife for the Crown Prince. After all, according to the novel's plot, he was imprisoned and ultimately poisoned by the male protagonist because he was fighting with his father for a woman.
Although the male protagonist died, his silly master is still alive, isn't he?
No one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first in this life, so... Chuchu will definitely protect him!
"Do you want a wife... or not?"
Chiu Chiu asked questions earnestly, and at the same time, she started looking for girls of suitable age in her contacts.
The Crown Prince has lost interest in marriage; he's more concerned with how he'll die. If he had a choice, he'd prefer to die of old age. But judging from what Qiu Qiu said… that seems a bit difficult!
"Chirp chirp, how long do you think I can live?"
The abrupt question caught her off guard; the novel didn't mention his age at death. She quickly calculated and replied casually, "He lived until he died."
"Will I die at the hands of my third brother?"
The prince's words were so blunt that they startled Qiuqiu.
Who spoiled the plot for him?!
Crown Prince: That's it.
He thought the third brother wanted to rebel, but he never expected the third brother to want him dead. He wasn't that ruthless; the path he chose for the third brother was life imprisonment.
He wanted his third son to watch him ascend to the throne, to watch him unify the country, and to watch him reign for generations to come!
Chuchu hugged him and comforted him, "You won't die."
I already said I would protect him~
Let's go take down the bad guys!
Before eliminating the bad guys, the prince had one more question: "Chirp, will your mother punish you when you go back?"
Chiu was shocked. Even making amends wasn't allowed?!
Thinking that things would work themselves out, Chiu Chiu bravely and fearlessly followed the prince.
The Crown Prince's men discovered that spies planted by the Queyu clan had infiltrated the Jin family's grain transport fleet. The intercepted secret letter stated that the spy would return to the Turkic Khaganate with the heir of the Naga Khan.
The Crown Prince's goal was to find this spy and, by following the clues, locate Naga Canglan's successor.
Chiu Chiu, with her hands tucked in, clearly didn't believe a single word the Crown Prince said!
Finding a spy requires the Crown Prince to personally intervene? Do you think she's stupid?!
"I don't believe you!" The little girl's voice was a bit annoyed; she felt like she had been fooled.
Since you've chosen to cooperate with her, you should have a sense of contractual obligation. Your brother, the Crown Prince, is too cunning!
The prince looked at Qiuqiu with annoyance: "Children who are too smart won't grow tall."
"Chirp chirp, little kid, not tall."
You'd better not regret it later!
Liang Shi led the way, and the Crown Prince, carrying Qiuqiu, went to a house in Huahua Lane. Huahua Lane could be described as a slum in the capital. In front were brothels, and behind was the Ci'an Hall. The people living nearby never had a moment of peace, day or night.
As she walked along, all she could hear were the sounds of songstresses practicing their dances and chanting, as well as the cries and shouts of children. Occasionally, she could also hear women crying and men cursing.
Chiu Chiu looked around curiously; she had never been to a place like this before.
The prince pressed down on her head, which was darting around, and said, "Don't look around here, or you might see something you shouldn't."
Chiu Chiu's eyes widened as if to say, "Then why did you bring me here?"
The house may be small, but it has all the necessary facilities.
"Your Highness, the Third Prince has entered the courtyard next door, and Minister Zhang from the Ministry of War arrived about an incense stick's time ago. However, no Turks have been seen entering yet."
"No Turks will come." Turks who can freely enter and leave the capital have already been discovered. Those hiding in the capital are only traitors!
"Pay attention to people coming and going in the vicinity, don't miss a single one."
Chiu Chiu blinked her big eyes, feeling like she had nothing to do here. The Crown Prince hadn't expected Chiu Chiu to do anything anyway; she was just a mascot.
He had his own things to do, and after observing that there were no dog holes around, he let Qiuqiu go play by herself.
Chirp was squatting in the corner, tapping left and right... Huh? Why is the paint peeling off the wall!
It looks like she punched a hole in someone's wall!
The little dumpling, feeling extremely guilty for her misdeed, glanced around a few times and, seeing that no one had noticed her mistake, felt relieved. She quickly tried to make amends!
Because Qiao Sheng only taught her how to dig a dog hole, but not how to patch it up...
With Chiu Chiu's efforts, the hole actually got bigger and bigger!
Things shouldn't have turned out this way!
【no……】
I'll keep adding more, I'll keep adding as much as I can!
The noisy little voice made the Crown Prince, who was flipping through the roster that Liang Shi had stolen from the secret room next door, frown.
Liang Shi asked anxiously, "Your Highness, have you discovered something?"
The Crown Prince raised his hand to signal Liang Shi to be quiet. He quickly went out the door and could hear the whispering, furtive sounds from half a courtyard away.
If a child is silent, they're probably just being naughty; a good beating will fix it!
"Chirp, what are you doing?"
The helpless tone carried a barely perceptible hint of doting, but to Qiuqiu, it was a death knell.
The prince called out twice and when she still didn't respond, he knew something bad must have happened.
He wanted to see what kind of trouble Chiu Chiu could get into.
The moment he crouched down, Qiuqiu, knowing she couldn't escape, happened to turn around. The even dirtier little dumpling was a fatal shock to the prince, who had a slight obsession with cleanliness!
"How did you get so dirty? What were you playing with? Is it mud or poop...?"
Chiu Chiu puffed out her cheeks and handed over a lump of mud, saying, "The wall is broken, I'll fix it."
"What kind of wall can you repair? You probably tore it apart yourself." The prince turned to look at the wall that Qiuqiu had torn apart, and he was stunned at that glance. "Liang Shi, come quick! There's another secret room here!"
