Chapter 345: You have an extraordinary identity. Are you willing?
No matter how many old rules the old minister listed, Jiujiu did not argue with him.
Instead, when he says he is tired, he will say something while shaking his head.
"The one who gave birth to you was also a woman."
The old minister was also a pedantic and rigid person. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at the girl and started to compete with her.
The court officials standing by did not dare to say much. Just from the way Emperor Wu Su looked at the child, they could tell that the child was not ordinary.
But this old minister was so excited that he didn't care about anything else. He kept arguing until foam appeared at the mouth.
On the other hand, Jiujiu still had a smile on her face and calmly refuted him with the same sentence.
Finally, at the emperor's instruction, Lu Juan pulled the old minister aside and manually silenced him, and the matter was resolved.
Yuan Heng, who was sitting next to the imperial desk, poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was feeling a little thirsty at the moment, and her dark eyes curved with a smile, and Yuan Heng also chuckled.
But she was thirsty, not because she talked too much, but because she ate too much sweets and cakes and her mouth was dry.
Emperor Wu Su's attention was attracted by the little Jiujiu holding the cup and almost burying her face in it to drink water, and he had no time to pay attention to anything else.
After the court officials in the hall dispersed.
Yuan Heng then slightly changed his sitting position. As soon as he looked up, he saw a black shadow appear at the door of the hall, waving at him, then flashed past and disappeared from his sight.
Yuan Heng's expression paused. Judging from his attire, he seemed like a secret guard hiding in the dark.
He stood up as if nothing had happened, and said with a folded hand, "Father, I want to go to the bathroom and change clothes."
Emperor Wu Su raised his chin, and Yuan Heng quietly left the hall.
The person who appeared outside the palace gate was Si Hai. He explained to the person standing in front of him: "Eunuch Li, Miss Ji ordered me to pass a message to the young prince."
Li Yuzong's waist felt a little sore after standing for a long time. While the court officials were leaving, he stretched his body and patted his back.
He said casually, "You don't have to tell me. The emperor has specifically told me a while ago that you have been assigned to Miss Ji as a secret guard. Just follow her instructions."
Sihai naturally knew this. After being assigned to be Ji Qingwu's secret guard, it was no different from changing the master.
Ji Qingwu's requirements must be put first in everything. The secret guards only respect their masters, not their authority.
He had learned from previous experience and just wanted to find someone to confess first, so as not to wait until the emperor blamed him and he was the only one to be punished.
At this time, Yuan Heng walked out of the door with steady steps, and stopped only when he reached a blind spot in the hall that was out of sight.
A pair of black eyes examined Sihai in front of him from head to toe. Despite his young age, he was extremely dignified, but his voice was still childish.
"You looking for me?"
Si Hai said respectfully: "Your Highness, it is Miss Ji who is looking for you. I am only here on orders."
When Yuan Heng heard that it was Ji Qingwu who was looking for him, his eyes lit up, but he tried to stay calm.
"Really? Tell me what you want from me."
Sihai glanced at Li Yuzong who was stretching his neck beside him, and changed his words instead of saying "stealing" directly.
"Miss Ji said that she wanted to invite you over secretly."
Yuan Heng opened his eyes wide in surprise, and his heroic eyebrows were raised high.
After a while, he asked, "Where do you want me to go?"
Si Hai replied, "Wei family, Xinyuan Hall where Miss Ji is."
Yuan Heng lowered his head, thinking about something.
Li Yuzong's old eyes widened in shock. How could the little prince go outside the palace and go to the Wei family? If the emperor knew about it, everyone in the world would be in trouble.
No, now he knows too.
After thinking about it, Li Yuzong understood why Sihai went to the trouble of informing him.
He frowned and wanted to go into the palace to ask the emperor's opinion. However, just as he took half a step, he was stopped by someone with his arm outstretched.
Si Hai said: "Eunuch Li, you said so. You don't need to ask the emperor. Just follow Miss Ji's instructions."
Li Yuzong glared at him and said, "You didn't have to tell me, but I knew about it but didn't report it. When His Majesty found out that the little prince was missing, I was the first one to be scolded."
Even though he said so, Sihai did not withdraw his arm, but instead stood in front of him with his whole body.
Si Hai said: "It is my duty as well. I must complete Miss Ji's orders, otherwise I would be derelict in my duty."
The two men were fighting for their master, but how could the lazy eunuch compete with the agile and nimble secret guards?
Li Yuzong saw that Yuan Heng kept his head down and didn't say anything, and seemed to be hesitant about this matter as well.
"Your Highness, please say something. It is too dangerous to leave the palace. The Emperor will definitely not agree if he knows."
Emperor Wu Su was strict in the education of the little prince. If he learned that he had rashly left the palace, he would have hit his palm with a ruler.
This young prince has always been a worry-free person for the palace servants who serve him. He is smart and studious, and he usually doesn't do anything out of the ordinary.
Li Yuzong has great confidence in the little prince: "Your Highness, why don't you wait until Miss Ji comes to the palace again, and then I will send someone to pass the message to Your Highness."
Yuan Heng raised his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
He didn't hear what Li Dazongguan said at all. He looked up at Sihai and said, "Did she ask me to stay there for a few days? Do I need to go back to Qianyuan Palace and pack some clothes first?"
It turns out that he had been keeping his head down, planning all this.
Si Hai thought for a moment and said, "Miss Ji didn't say that. She just asked if the young prince was willing to come."
Yuan Heng nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
In the Qinzheng Hall.
Emperor Wu Su was holding the little girl in his arms and teaching her how to solve the Nine Rings with great interest. He seemed to hear Yuan Heng's excited voice in his ears.
He raised his eyes and looked towards the door.
Jiujiu is very smart, but lacks patience.
Looking at these nine interlocking rings, to untie one you need to put the rest of the rings back together.
She pouted and said, "Can't you just cut it open with a knife? It's also untied."
Zhao Mingyan retracted his gaze, touched her head and said, "Resolving the issue by force is one of the solutions, but this is your bottom line. Before that, you must have several, even dozens or even hundreds of ways to break the impasse."
Jiujiu understood a little, but it seemed that she didn’t understand it completely.
She took the Nine Rings in her hand again, licked her lips, and said, "It would be great if there were Nine Rings made of sugar rings. I could eat them one by one, fill my stomach, and solve the problem at the same time."
Zhao Mingyan curled his lips and poked the little girl's chubby face with his index finger.
"Then it's not a problem, it's a reward."

Wei family.
Ji Qingwu sent Xuemei and Lanzhi away.
She sat on the small couch by the window, resting her chin on her hand and looking out the window.
I was impulsive just now and made such a bold statement. Now I feel a little nervous and don’t know whether Sihai can bring Yuan Heng here.
Is he willing?
Thinking back to the last time I saw Yuan Heng, it was the night when the emperor was stabbed back to the palace after offering sacrifices to his ancestors...
