Chapter 597: Don’t think about getting off the pirate ship
Prince Jiangning called a doctor to treat Xiao Shijie's wound. He felt his scalp tingling when he saw the bloody shoulder, and turned around and left the room.
Prince Jiangning pulled the butler aside and asked in a low voice, "You said it was that kid Zhu Lin who sent the person back?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. It was Master Zhu who sent the prince back."
Prince Jiangning doesn't care about the affairs of the court, but that doesn't mean he knows nothing. Zhu Lin is the emperor's man, and Zhu Lin sent Xiao Shijie back, which shows that the emperor has made his distrust of Xiao Shijie clear.
Could it be that this kid really had some inappropriate thoughts?
Prince Jiangning suddenly felt a chill down his spine. It would be fine if there was only one unfilial son, but if there were two, would the emperor let him go so easily?
Only after the doctor treated Xiao Shijie's wound and left did Prince Jiangning return to the house.
Xiao Shijie was exhausted from days of running around and mental strain. Just as he was about to take a nap, he heard the footsteps of Prince Jiangning.
Xiao Shijie lay on the bed with his eyes closed and pretended to be dead.
He heard King Jiangning's footsteps getting increasingly impatient, and finally stopped in front of his bed. "You should know why your elder brother ended up like that. Although we all have the surname Xiao, some things are not ours. If we don't fight for them, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you have thoughts that you shouldn't have, don't blame your father for being ruthless!"
Xiao Shijie's hands under the quilt gradually clenched into fists but he didn't say a word.
Seeing that Xiao Shijie didn't move, Prince Jiangning reached out and poked his wound with some dissatisfaction.
Xiao Shijie almost jumped up in pain!!!
"Did you hear what your father said?"
Xiao Shijie gritted his teeth and said nothing, but Prince Jiangning kept poking him!
"stop!"
Xiao Shijie could no longer bear it and sneered, his bloodshot eyes filled with anger, staring at King Jiangning so frightened that he stood there in a daze.
Such a look made Prince Jiangning even more uneasy. There must be something wrong with this kid, definitely something wrong!
These traitors cannot bear to see him die, they are unwilling to accept this.
Prince Jiangning didn't dare to look him in the eye, and just forced himself to say viciously: "Be obedient and take good care of yourself. If you make trouble, your father will make you pay!" After saying that, he turned around and ran away without giving Xiao Shijie a chance to react.
Xiao Shijie stared at his back, feeling even more resentful.
When Prince Jiangning arrived outside the yard, he ordered his servants to guard Xiao Shijie's yard and not allow Xiao Shijie to step out of the gate.
Xiao Shijie's arrival not only upset Prince Jiangning, but also made Chu Min increasingly anxious.
"Are you sure that all contact with the other side has been cut off?" After leaving the court, Chu Min called his confidant into the study to ask.
"Don't worry, Master. I will clean up everything I touched."
Chu Min felt a little relieved after hearing what he said.
After the confidant left, a servant came in.
"Master, someone from Taohuayuan has sent a message saying that the young master is ill and not in good condition. We would like to ask you to go over and take a look."
Chu Min was about to refuse, but then he felt that staying in the mansion would only make him more upset, so he asked his servants to prepare the car.
As soon as Chu Min left the mansion, someone quietly followed his carriage.
After passing through a series of busy streets, the carriage arrived in front of an inconspicuous courtyard.
Chu Min got off the carriage and went straight into the yard. He didn't come out and return to the mansion until it was almost dark.
The figure following him crawled quietly into the dog hole in the courtyard after Chu Min left, and came out half an hour later.
As night falls, the lights in Duke Jingguo's Mansion are brightly lit.
Ever since Chu Yun was sent back, no one has approached her yard except Chu Min who came twice and someone from Madam Chu's side.
A maid came into the room carrying hot water, "Miss, soak your feet before going to bed."
Chu Yun's external injuries had almost healed, but she never left the room again.
Hearing the voice, she slowly raised her head and said, "Yeah."
The maid came forward with hot water and helped her wash her feet.
"Miss, there's news coming back that they've settled the girl in a fancy courtyard in Dongcheng District. They've given birth to a boy who's already reached the age of enlightenment."
“Crash!”
"ah!"
The maid was kicked in the face with foot washing water and fell to the ground in fright.
After she came back to her senses, she quickly glanced at Chu Yun, met her cold eyes, and was so scared that she knelt down and begged for mercy, "Miss, please forgive me, Miss, please forgive me."
It’s time to get enlightened, at least three to five years!
It's not that Chu Min doesn't have concubines. Madam Chu injured her body when she gave birth to Chu Yun and couldn't get pregnant again. It's also that she didn't take a concubine for Chu Min, but Chu Min was always a good person and rarely visited the concubines' rooms over the years. Occasionally, the concubines who got pregnant only gave birth to daughters.
Her mother felt very guilty about this, she had never expected that he had already secretly been keeping a mistress!
"Get up."
After hearing Chu Yun's words, the maid felt as if she had been pardoned. She carefully looked at Chu Yun's face, and after thinking for a while, she asked tentatively: "Miss, do you want to tell the Madam about this?"
The Jingguo Mansion is such a large aristocratic family. If the news of having a mistress were to get out, there's no telling how the First Madam and the others would be criticized.
Chu Yun sneered, "Get ready to go. I'm going to meet that bastard tomorrow."
"Miss, you haven't married yet, so let the Madam handle this matter. Otherwise, if it gets out, it might harm Miss's reputation."
The coldness on Chu Yun's face became even more intense. "I have become like this, what reputation do I still have?"
The maid was speechless. Before, people who wanted to propose to the eldest lady almost broke down the threshold of the Duke Jingguo's Mansion. But since the eldest lady got into trouble, no one has come to the house anymore.
"Do as I say."
"Yes, yes."
…
After a brief panic during the two days when Xiao Shijie arrived in the capital, Prince Jiangning relaxed his vigilance when he saw that Xiao Shijie had been staying obediently in the yard these days and continued to live a life of debauchery.
The maid pushed open the door and walked in carrying the food box.
Xiao Shijie has been lying in bed these days and has no intention of getting up.
The maid placed the food box on the low table, carried it to Xiao Shijie and whispered, "Sir, it's time for dinner."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shijie opened his eyes, glanced at the maid, and then slowly sat up.
"Sir, I have contacted that master several times. He did not respond at first, and then he directly withdrew the people who were in contact with us."
Xiao Shijie's pupils sank, and he sneered grimly, "He thinks something bad is going to happen to me, and wants to distance himself from me."
"Sir, what should we do?"
"Let that woman tell him that this prince's boat is not so easy to get off. If he wants to tear us apart, this prince will not have a good life, and he will also die a miserable death!"
The maid responded in a low voice, "Yes, I understand."
