Xu Yixing had just finished cleaning up and had just stepped out of the main hall when he was interrupted in a very funny way by Ah Er.
"Hey, hey, hey! Madam, His Highness said that you have to stay in the palace all day and can't come out." Ah Er smiled, no different from when he first met Xu Yixing.
Xu Yixing put his foot on the threshold, neither going in nor coming out.
"What do you mean, your master has grounded me, right?"
"How could that be! I mean, just don't come out today. Or wait until His Highness comes back, then it won't be too late to come out."
Xu Yixing looked at Ah Da staring at his feet, sneered, and turned back to the hall. "Not letting me out is not a big deal. Anyway, as long as Ying Jiu gets out, it's fine!"
Just as I finished thinking about this, I pushed open the door of the inner hall and saw Ying Jiusha standing in the middle of the house, looking a little embarrassed.
"you?"
"Master, I'm sorry that Ada chased me back." Ying Jiu knelt on one knee as soon as he saw Xu Yixing coming in, and said this with a sense of self-blame.
"If he chases you away, just go back. Who do you listen to?"
"I'm good at light-footed tracking, but I'm not as good as Ah Da in swordsmanship."
Ha! If you can’t beat them, just say you can’t beat them. Why are you pretending to be a grandson? “Where did they go?”
"The Fourth Prince's Mansion."
Xu Yixing touched his nails and pondered the problem. It seemed that Lu Anyuan had not lied to him, but what dangers could there be in going to the Fourth Prince's Mansion?
"But..." Ying Jiu suddenly spoke, startling her thoughts.
"But what?"
"When I came back, I had already told the remaining brothers that they were going to take over from me and keep an eye on the Fourth Prince's mansion."
Xu Yixing's anger turned into joy: "Oh! So now, except for you, Yingwu and Yingliu who are in Qibei, they have all gone?"
"Yes."
"That's great! I don't believe it. What kind of danger is that... Hey, can you still find time to go to Beishan?"
"Not really. Recently all the brothers have moved to the capital, so it's very convenient to get in touch with them."
"Why?"
"After the incident in the capital, not only the South Mountain but also the surrounding areas were strictly investigated. Yingyi was worried about the safety of the North Mountain, so he went into the city."
Xu Yixing nodded. This was probably because Yingyi felt that he would be in danger if the Second Prince escaped, so he brought them all to the capital. Otherwise, how could Yingjiu contact everyone so easily and quickly in such a large city? This meant that their current location was near the Seventh Prince's residence.
"Okay. I understand. Did you see anything wrong in the Fourth Prince's mansion?"
"My Lord, I didn't get in. I was chased away on the way."
Xu Yixing rolled his eyes, waved his hand, and let him go. Even if it was dangerous today, with six shadow guards there, was he really afraid of not being able to protect Lu Anyuan?
She opened the door again, and this time Er still looked at her warily.
"Well, go to His Highness's study and get me some of the documents and letters he reads every day. I'm really bored in my room."
"No, what if I leave and you run away?"
"Then ask someone to get it for me. I'll wait."
"No, those are His Highness's things, and they contain important military matters. You think they are inappropriate."
"Bah! Didn't we burn Lu Anyuan's truly shameful things after we finished reading them? Why are you pretending to be a loyal subject?"
"Forehead..."
"If you don't go, I'll let Yingjiu search. If ten or eight items are found, it will all be your fault." Xu Yixing stretched out a finger and poked Er's shoulder hard. He was fine, but his hand suffered.
"All right then."
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Yixing finally got what she wanted. After looking through four or five items, she finally figured out what the problem was—the handwriting on the note that morning was that of the Second Prince.
I see!
No wonder Lu Anyuan reacted so strongly. The Second Prince was actually in the Fourth Prince's residence? How ridiculous! The most dangerous place is truly the safest place.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place." After Lu Chiyan said this, no one in the room wanted to respond to him. He felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately his face was pale to begin with, so nothing could be seen now.
He imagined that Lu Anyuan would be frightened or panicked when he saw him, but nothing happened. He had been in for a quarter of an hour, and apart from sitting down and watching him make tea, he didn't say a word. Lu Hexin did the same.
There are only three people in the room now, and the door is open. You can see the shadows of bamboo leaves swaying in the wind in the yard, which is very beautiful.
The second prince sat in the main seat, pretending to make tea; Lu Anyuan sat in the upper left seat, pretending to wait for tea; the real host, Lu Hexin, sat in the guest seat, staring at the tea set, pretending to be in a daze.
Lu Anyuan had already observed that his second brother wasn't looking very good today. His face was pale, and his left arm was barely moving, suggesting he hadn't recovered from his injury. He wasn't wearing armor, but his clothes looked a bit bulky, suggesting he must have been wearing soft armor underneath. Sure enough, he was up to no good today.
As for the fourth brother, he had been as still as a dead man since he entered the room, not moving a muscle. He possessed great concentration. But strangely, his face looked even paler, even uglier than the injured man.
"Fourth brother, are you okay? You look very dead." Ignoring the second prince, Lu Anyuan chose to speak directly to the fourth brother. He now had to confirm the fourth prince's camp.
The Fourth Prince finally stirred, as if waking from a dream, but only raised his head. "Seventh Brother, you're joking. I'm still alive. But if you woke up one morning and suddenly found that your brother, who is wanted throughout the country and can't be found, has been living in your house for ten days, I don't think you would be very happy."
"Hahaha!" Lu Anyuan laughed in anger. "Do you know what you are talking about? I've been staying at your house for more than ten days and you didn't even notice. Do you think I'm stupid?"
The Fourth Prince knew that his Seventh Brother would never believe it, and he didn’t believe it either, but that was the fact that happened, so much so that he still felt like he was dreaming from the moment he woke up this morning until now.
"Second brother, can I know how you followed me back to the palace?" The fourth prince turned to look at the second prince, but it was obvious that he lacked confidence.
Not to mention whether anyone would believe him if he claimed to be innocent in this matter. Everyone knew that he had a "good relationship" with his second brother. It was normal for him to bring the person in and hide him for more than ten days so that his father could not find him.
By then, I will be punished for harboring the rebellious, oh no, I might even die at the hands of my second brother soon, I won’t be able to wait until that time.
"You don't need to know." The Second Prince finally made the tea, but faced with his two arrogant brothers, he ultimately chose to pour only one cup for himself. "Please drink." He raised the cup and drank it down, as if it were wine.
