Chapter 655 Origin

Si Jinyu then realized that the maid next to the little girl was named Xiu Liu, and could only explain helplessly,

"Mr. Xiuzhu is already fifty-nine this year."

At this age, how could he be related to a little maid in the palace?

It's just that the names are similar.

Xue Sha didn't believe it, "What if Xiu Liu is his daughter who is stranded outside?"

She had heard people in the palace read various storybooks to her, and many of these storybooks contained stories about orphans who were stranded outside.

Li Sheng also nodded, thinking that what the young prince said made sense.

The confusion that Si Jinyu had previously felt because of King Li was instantly shattered by the naive and persistent fantasies of the two little girls in front of him.

Resisting the urge to hold his forehead, he said, "Sir, you are alone and have never married."

Xue Sha became interested and said excitedly, "As expected, he is still my brother!"

Li Sheng had heard about the life span of ordinary people, and also heard that even if a child is born in old age, the age difference between the siblings could not be so big, so he refuted Xue Sha for once.

"No, the age difference is too big."

Xue Sha was not convinced and thought that a 45-year age difference was nothing, as the age difference between her and her youngest brother was over a hundred years.

After hearing what Li Sheng said, Si Jinyu felt a little comforted. He felt that his teachings during these days had not been in vain. Li Sheng was still more common sense than the little girl.

As I was thinking this, I heard Li Sheng say seriously, "It should be a relative."

Si Jinyu: ...

The two foxes excitedly changed the subject. Their confident looks made Si Jinyu wonder whether this palace maid named Xiuliu and Mr. Xiuzhu really had any connection.

His eyes swept over Xiu Liu, who seemed to be stunned for a moment when she met his gaze. Then he looked at the two people who were already discussing with great interest which relative Xiu Zhu was. After swallowing his saliva, Xiu Liu spoke weakly after a long while.

"Young Miss, my name was given to me by the maid after I entered the palace."

Is it possible that the names are simply similar?

After hearing Xiu Liu's words, the two foxes who were originally discussing with great interest stopped their speculation with some disappointment.

Especially Xuesha, the disappointment on that little face was too obvious.

Just now, she had already imagined in her mind a touching drama of distant relatives getting to know each other, and she, Little Prince Xuesha, was the good fox who helped them make it happen.

What a pity.

It was just a coincidence.

Because of a small incident, Si Jinyu's original nervous mood due to being followed by people sent by King Li was dispelled.

On the other side, Prince Li’s Palace.

Not long after Prince Li returned to the palace, the people who were originally sent to follow Si Jinyu came back.

After changing out of their usual civilian uniforms, the two men put on the guard uniforms of the Prince Li's palace, and immediately knelt on one knee to apologize as soon as they entered the door.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I followed the carriage to the city gate. When the carriage stopped, I found that Master Si was gone. I'm afraid he had already noticed something."

Prince Li is nearly fifty years old, but he is a prince after all, and he has a sense of dignity and majesty. He is tall and looks somewhat similar to Helian Tuo, but he has some of the calmness and sophistication of middle-aged people.

While listening to the reports from his subordinates, he did not show too much blame on his face and even couldn't help but chuckle.

But that laughter inexplicably carried a gloomy meaning.

"I am quite alert."

Did she notice something, or was she on guard against him from the beginning?

Thinking of the things he had people find out about the Si family, Prince Li's eyes became somewhat sinister.

He never expected it.

The Si family, where Concubine Lang is from, has such a connection with his Liwang Mansion.

A mere merchant dares to act so arrogantly in front of him. I think he must be relying on the power of the person in the palace.

If he didn't want to cause trouble and arouse the emperor's suspicion towards Prince Li's Mansion.

he……

That’s it.

"Since he doesn't allow me to follow, then I won't follow him for now."

But they are just merchants, and he can control them anytime he wants.

But not yet...

With the sinister look in his eyes suppressed, King Li waved his hand to let the people leave.

He was sitting alone in his room thinking when he saw the steward come in and said to him with a somewhat happy look on his face, "Your Highness, the prince has returned to the capital, and he is almost at the gate of the mansion!"
