Lin Chunhuan found it funny to see Xiao Wuji's serious expression, but this was not the time to laugh. He just exchanged glances with Dong Ling'er, then nodded to Wuji and said, "Saving you was just a matter of convenience. Don't worry about it."
"But since you're here, I can't let you come here for nothing. So, tell me." Lin Chunhuan put down the teacup in his hand and handed the tea in it to Wuji. "If you speak well, there will be a reward."
"I came here to repay you, not for your reward!"
Wuji's serious expression is really cute. After all, she is still a child. Although her current body is not very old, if you calculate carefully, you don't know how old she is. We should always be more tolerant to children.
Lin Chun laughed happily, "Okay, if you say you want to repay a favor, then that's it. Can you tell me now?"
"Your Highness, please be careful these days. No, it's not just you, the entire palace needs to be careful. This morning, when I was delivering charcoal to the various courtyards, I heard Concubine Lin tell the Crown Prince that Prince Pingyang was willing to assist him wholeheartedly because he had no children."
"Now that he has his own child, let alone assisting him, he might even develop rebellious thoughts. The Crown Prince's trust in Prince Pingyang might cause trouble in the future."
While speaking, Wuji also imitated the expression on Lin Chunuan's face, and they were really a bit similar.
It was clearly a funny scene, but at this moment, Lin Chunhuan couldn't laugh anymore. He sat on the chair and stared at Wuji in front of him for a long time, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know."
After learning those words, Wuji stood straight again, "If anyone hears these words, they will be killed. If you are not careful, it will be a disaster."
"I also know that I should pretend that I didn't hear anything and quietly leave the yard. It would be best to pretend that I had never been there before, otherwise, if anyone finds out, I'll be fine."
"Don't even mention whether I can stay in the East Palace in the future. I'm afraid even my survival is a problem. I know all this."
Wuji spoke confidently, his eyes particularly firm, which made Lin Chunhuan unable to say what he wanted to say about him being ridiculous. After a long silence, he asked, "So what are you going to do next?"
"You suddenly came to the palace today. Even if the prince didn't know what you heard, he would definitely not let you live. Have you considered your own escape route?"
Lin Chunhuan had never expected that the child she had just saved would bring her such an accident today.
If possible, she didn't want anything to happen to the child.
But it is obvious that Wuji is not a stupid person, he can even be considered meticulous.
Just like that day, in just a short moment, he found Lin Chunhuan, the most important person among all the noble ladies, and saved his life.
Wuji smiled, revealing his big white teeth. "I've thought it all out. Before I came here, someone was recruiting at the entrance of the alley, and I've already signed up."
"As long as I get to Prince Pingyang's place, not to mention that the Crown Prince has no idea that I heard those words, even if he knew, as long as I stay in the military camp, he can't do anything to me."
Lin Chunhuan burst out laughing, "You kid, you're really quite clever!"
Wuji was right. Even now, the Crown Prince and the Emperor had begun to fear Xiao Cen, fearing that he would seize power and usurp the throne after having his own child.
But in this time of constant natural disasters and man-made tragedies, none of them could touch the soldiers in Xiao Cen's hands, let alone Xiao Cen.
This kid actually found a way out for himself.
"Okay, I'll take you as my soldier."
Before Wuji could speak again, a deep and rich voice sounded from the courtyard gate. Lin Chunhuan raised his head and smiled the moment he saw Xiao Cen, "Qiushuang, hurry up and pour tea for the prince."
"Xiao Lang, did you hear everything?"
Xiao Cen took the teacup and nodded slightly, "I've heard a little bit. This kid is not bad. Where is he from?"
After briefly explaining to Xiao Cen how he met Wuji, Xiao Cen pinched the skinny little shoulder and threw him directly to Mu Qing, "From now on, you will follow him. You will do whatever he tells you to do. Do you understand?"
"he?"
Wuji looked Mu Qing up and down, curled his lips and said nothing.
But the look of dissatisfaction was so obvious that Xiao Cen burst into laughter. "Mu Qing, this kid is not convinced."
"I'll give you half an hour."
"yes!"
Mu Qing was not very old, and he was really competitive. He grabbed Wuji's neck and dragged him out of the yard. Seeing this, Qiu Shuang also helped Dong Ling'er back to the house.
When there were only two people left in the courtyard, Lin Chunhuan showed a little worry, "Xiao Lang, it seems that the emperor is really suspicious of you this time."
"Although Wuji's message was from Lin Chunuan, if I'm right, Lin Chunuan has become a weapon for His Majesty. You were right to be close to the East Palace and wholeheartedly assist the Crown Prince."
"But now, that person doesn't seem to want you to get close."
Xiao Cen nodded and drank the tea in his hand. His body, frozen stiff from coming back from outside, finally felt a little better. "It's not a very clever attempt to sow discord."
"But it doesn't matter. They won't do anything to me until the snow stops."
"What about after the snowstorm?" Lin Chunhuan frowned slightly, his slightly red eyes filled with worry. "The snow will eventually stop, and this winter will eventually pass."
"As long as you're here, they won't be able to rest assured. Are we going to live in fear like this forever?"
In fact, Lin Chunhuan's tone was very calm, even gentle with a hint of sadness. This emotion made Xiao Cen feel even more guilty. He grabbed her hand and refused to let go, "I owe you."
"I'm sorry to have made you worried and frightened following me."
"Xiao Lang..."
Lin Chunhuan opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Xiao Cen took a deep breath and slowly shook his head, "He has been so kind to me. I can't do that."
Although the two did not explain their words, their meaning was obvious.
Apart from rebelling, apart from proclaiming himself king and ascending to that high throne himself, Xiao Cen will not have any good outcome.
Even Xiao Cen himself is very clear about this.
But his nature and his gratitude would not allow him to betray the emperor before he took action. But if he really waited until the other party took action, he would have to do so.
Then it will be too late for anything.
Lin Chunhuan was silent for a long time, then slowly took Xiao Cen's hand and placed it on her belly. "I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do."
"But Mo'er is still young, they can't accommodate him, and... I'm pregnant."
