Lin Shuang stood with her hands behind her back, gazing thoughtfully at Eunuch De's retreating figure.
Bai Lu laughed and played with the magpies for a while, but when she suddenly saw Lin Shuang like this, a cloud of doubt once again slipped through her mind:
Sister Lin Shuang seems to have really changed lately; she always looks like she has something on her mind.
noon.
Having lost their titles, Ji Chenhai and Ji Fengming, along with the old and young from Bald Vulture Village who had come to the capital with them, moved out of the Marquis's mansion and openly moved into the Ninth Prince's mansion.
When Shanyu Heye went to Cangzhou, the courtyard next to Huinuan Pavilion was empty, and there was a place to stay ready. Ji Chenhai was also happy to be able to stay next to Ji Fengyao.
Ji Fengming hooked his arm around Wuying's shoulder and said smugly, "What did I say when we came to the capital? I said that one day our Vulture Village would move into and occupy the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Didn't I tell you? We're all one family now."
Shadowless: "..."
They were clearly refugees in distress, so how did it become an occupation?
Could you be any more shameless?!
However, given the prince's current trajectory, if he were to leave the capital in the future, he might very well be led astray by this family.
No, the prince has been led astray by this family, and there's no way to straighten him out of it!
"What?! The Emperor wants to detain you in the capital?" Ji Chenhai's furious voice came from inside the house. "What right does he have to detain you in the capital? Did I not explain things clearly to him on the mountain that day? Does he want to take my daughter hostage? He's tired of living!"
"Dad, please don't be angry..."
"Why shouldn't I be angry?" Ji Chenhai interrupted Ji Fengyao's advice with a furious roar, his anger uncontrollable: "You were raised with the utmost care by your mother and me. From birth to your marriage, we never let you suffer even the slightest grievance. Ever since you married into the capital, you've been constantly subservient to others, bowing and scraping, enduring countless grievances, and now you want to be a hostage! Your father won't agree, and neither will your mother!"
Ji Fengyao: "..."
Her father really dared to say that. It's fortunate that she "humbly and obsequiously" acted, otherwise the capital would have been in complete chaos.
Then, Ji Chenhai turned to Shang Xiye and said, "In my opinion, you don't need to be a prince anymore! Let's take Yao'er away! After we destroy the Di Kingdom and eliminate the worries of the Great Zhao, we will have done our duty from beginning to end. Then, you take your people and Yao'er and go back to the Vulture Village with your father. Our family will live a peaceful and happy life from now on."
Although Ji Chenhai's words were unpleasant to hear, they came from the bottom of his heart.
Shang Xiye felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, and remained silent.
Ji Fengyao stepped forward and hugged Ji Chenhai's arm, pouting, "Father, it's alright, let's go to the secret room to talk." Then she secretly transmitted her voice to Ji Chenhai, saying, "This matter concerns everyone's life and fortune, so it's not appropriate to say too much here."
"Didn't the Ninth Prince say that all the spies and informants in the manor had been eliminated?" Ji Chenhai frowned and asked telepathically, "What, have new ones arrived?"
"It hasn't been verified yet, it's just a suspicion." Ji Fengyao pushed Ji Chenhai towards the dark room, then turned back and instructed the three maids, "Lin Shuang, Xi Que, Bai Lu, you stay in the courtyard and don't let anyone in."
"Yes, miss!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Magpie and White Dew replied cheerfully, without the slightest dissatisfaction.
"Yes, Your Highness," Lin Shuang replied gently and obediently, glancing furtively at Hei Xiao who was passing by. Looking at his elegant and dashing figure, a tender emotion flickered in her eyes.
Bai Lu, who had been keeping a close eye on the approaching frost, felt both sympathy and anxiety upon seeing this scene.
