Chapter 58 A lean camel is bigger than a horse
The exile team walked slowly to Shili Pavilion. When they saw a guard wearing the uniform of Prince Xiao's palace and two servants, they didn't react much, but when they saw the carriage behind the three people, they were a little overwhelmed.
Because the wheels of the carriage were deeply stuck in the mud. You could tell without even looking that there were definitely no people in the carriage, but it was filled with clothes and food!
As expected, as the carriage from Prince Xiao's residence approached, the old maid turned and got inside. After fiddling with it for a while, she was about to put several servings of breakfast cakes and soy milk into Prince Xiao's carriage while saying distressedly, "Your Highness, Princess Consort, you are so pitiful! You don't even get breakfast, do you? Come on, I brought you some food. Eat it while it's hot."
Everyone: “…”
Officer: “…”
Gurgle! This fragrance is so tempting.
Who doesn’t rush on the road early in the morning without eating properly?
Xiao Shiliu stood there holding a sword, observing the reactions of everyone present. Following his master's instructions, he deliberately let everyone know that the people in the Xiao Palace had privileges with the officials and could do whatever they wanted without regard for the imperial power. This was to prevent people from getting jealous of the little princess if she ate or used something good on the road, which would make her unhappy.
If the officers dare to stop us—kill them! Get rid of them!
Do the officers dare to stop us?
Of course not!
They received two orders this morning. One order was conveyed to them by Eunuch Gao, asking them to turn a blind eye during their exile and pretend to be unaware of any unexpected events that happened to Prince Xiao's Mansion.
The second order was given secretly by their boss on the way just now, saying that no matter who wants King Xiao's life, as long as they are within their sight, they must protect King Xiao. King Xiao has sacrificed his life for the stability and prosperity of the Great Zhou Kingdom for so many years. They cannot abandon him and kill him just because he is of no value now.
Anyone who does that is a beast!
In fact, all the officers knew that the reason why their boss took such good care of King Xiao was because his brother was once a young general in King Xiao's camp. Once on the battlefield, he was hit by three arrows and was about to be shot to death by the enemy. King Xiao ignored his own safety and dragged him back for treatment.
The life-saving grace is enough for their boss to remember King Xiao for the rest of his life.
The people who met at Prince Xiao's Mansion were just there to deliver some food. What did they care about?
So, several officers tacitly walked aside and drove the others away, leaving space for the three men to work.
But some people were dissatisfied, "Brother, why can they eat and wear servants?"
The officer said angrily, "You don't like it? If you don't like it, then use the money to buy servants and guards! As long as you can come up with the money, we can pretend not to see it."
“…”
Both the Liu and Shen families were convicted of corruption. If anyone dared to take out silver while on exile, wouldn't that tell others that they hadn't yet fully recovered all the money they had embezzled? And if they offended the police along the way, they might extort money from them, or report them directly to the imperial court. Wouldn't that be a disaster?
"Really?" The officer glanced around unreasonably and sneered, "Don't be envious of everything. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If you were also royal relatives, we brothers would still treat you with special care during your exile."
