What, you don't believe me and think I lied to you? The corners of the Ninth Prince's mouth were hooked with interest.

Chi Wan lowered her eyes and said lightly, "That's not it, where does Childe want to go, it's your freedom, others have no right to put their beaks, I just just ask casually." ”

The Ninth Prince stared at him, his eyes drooping a little sadly, "I still like you to ask, because it means that you care about me." ”

Hearing this, Xie Yutang's face sank.

"Oh, just kidding, everyone is friends, why are you so serious, come and drink tea." The ninth prince took the initiative to fill the two of them.

This conversation didn't seem to be fruitful, the Nine Princes were like a loach, very slippery, no matter what you said, he could fight back just right.

On the way back to the room, Chi Wan was speechless all the way, and Xie Yutang asked her softly, "But what's wrong?" ”

Chi Wan shook her head slowly, she was just a guess now, she wasn't sure yet, she had to confirm it again.

Xie Yutang saw that she didn't want to say, so he didn't ask anymore, "Pay attention, if he has any other purpose, he will definitely come out of the way when the time comes." ”

The next day, the Nine Princes invited Chi Wan to walk in the courtyard again, Xie Yutang also wanted to go with him, but was rejected by Chi Wan, although Xie Yutang was not very willing, but he also knew that Chi Wan was afraid that he would have his own ideas, so he didn't insist anymore.

It rained last night, the ground was very slippery, the flowers in the yard were scattered by the heavy rain, the ninth prince is a person who cherishes flowers, and he personally went to help up the flower pots, and it was a pity to sigh again and again.

"You like flowers?" Ji Wan asked out loud.

The Nine Princes had mud on their hands, but they didn't care, "Don't you think that seeing them will make your mood better?" ”

Chi Wan really didn't think so, she didn't dare to be interested in flowers and plants, but the Nine Princes made her very interested. This person, similar to those elegant talents, likes tea, and likes flowers, at first glance is a rich idler, after all, if it is not a rich idler, they are all running for a living, where do you have so much time to care about these useless things.

"I'm a layman, not as elegant as a child, so I'm not interested in that." Ji Wan spat out a sentence.

The Ninth Prince chuckled and shook his head, stared at her for another moment, and said leisurely, "You're just...... The mind is not on this, although she gave birth to a daughter, she does some male things. ”

Chi Wan's expression changed slightly, "I don't know what Childe is talking about." ”

"Then don't forget it, let's go, go sit there for a while." The Nine Princes looked at him left and right, diverted the topic, and pointed to a few stone benches not far away.

The air after the rain is very sober, and there are a lot of flowers and trees in this yard, and everywhere you look, there are some flowers and grasses, which is quite pleasant.

The Nine Princes were very leisurely, lifted his robe, took a bunch of grass and was weaving something, Chi Wan asked casually, and learned that he was actually weaving a grasshopper cage.

"When I was in a small mountain village, I learned from those children, and they were very ingenious." The corners of the Nine Princes' mouths were dyed with a hint of a smile.

Ji Wan stared at his face, and suddenly felt a little familiar, she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and this time, her heart jumped suddenly!

This person's appearance is a little similar to that of the King of Chu and the crown prince, they are all thick eyebrows, big silkworms, high nose bridge, handsome and compelling when they are not smiling, and they have a sense of fierceness.

Ji Wan stood up abruptly and almost exclaimed.

The Ninth Prince was taken aback by her, and the half-woven cage fell to the ground, but he didn't care, but looked at Chi Wan and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Chi Wan's heart was in a mess now, and she didn't dare to look directly at that face, but she also realized that she was too impulsive just now, if the Nine Princes were really what she imagined, it would be ......

Chi Wan shook her head, didn't dare to think about it, her fingers tightened into her palm, squeezed out a little smile, and reluctantly said, "It's okay, suddenly a little uncomfortable." ”

"Is it a headache, I'll ask a doctor to show you." The Nine Princes are concerned and want to call people.

Chi Wan hurriedly stopped his movements, "No need, it's not good to be seen at this time." ”

The Ninth Prince thought about it, and seemed to think that she was reasonable, so he didn't insist anymore, but he still couldn't hide his worry, "Then what should you do if you are uncomfortable?" ”

"I'll go to my room and get some rest." Ji Wan tried her best to pretend to be calm.

"Alright then, you can go back and rest."

Ji Wan nodded at him, and slowly walked towards the room, after stepping out of the vision of the Nine Princes, she quickened her pace, her heart beating extremely fast.

Oh my God, this man...... What is the purpose of this person, does he want to use a praying mantis to catch cicadas?

Ji Wan returned to her room, closed the door, and sorted out her messy thoughts. No matter what, she can't expose it now, otherwise the other party knows her mind and may act in advance, then their move will be too stupid and sent to the door to be arrested.

Chi Wan drank a few sips of tea in a row before she calmed down, clutching her chest and pacing back and forth in the room.

She can't know about this alone, she still has to tell Xie Yutang, listen to his opinion, he has more ideas, maybe there will be a way.

Thinking of this, Chi Wan already has a countermeasure, if she doesn't demolish him, the enemy is in the open and in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to act.

On the other side, the Nine Princes didn't know that Chi Wan had already guessed his identity. He sat lazily by the window, reading a book in his hand.

Suddenly, there were three soft noises at the door.

"Come in." The Nine Princes did not take their eyes off the scroll.

"Lord Wang." Someone pushed the door in and closed the door with his backhand.

This person usually helps the Nine Princes take care of the shop, and he looks plain, but after entering the house, his waist straightened up, and his temperament changed instantly.

"What?" The Nine Princes asked lightly.

"My subordinates recently discovered that there were a lot of people outside the store, and last night someone broke in without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and his subordinates even exchanged hands with him."

"Huh?" Hearing this, the Nine Princes put down the scroll in their hands and raised their eyebrows with interest.

The other party is not weak, and his subordinates found that he was wearing the clothes of the palace guards. Subordinates suspect ...... Suspicion, the one may already know. ”

The Ninth Prince chuckled, "Since this king is back, he is naturally not afraid that he will know." ”

The subordinate still looked very worried, "But ......"

"It's nothing, for now, this king is still safe." The Nine Princes didn't know where to find a fan, and unfolded it.

The subordinates didn't understand very well, and the Nine Princes didn't explain, just fanned the fan leisurely, looking like everything was under his control, "If they want to investigate, they will investigate, and in a few days, maybe someone will officially come to the door, and the king will just wait." ”

At the same time, the palace was not calm.

"Back to the emperor, his subordinates have found out that person is really the ninth prince."

Hearing this, the new emperor Huo Di stood up, and kept muttering to himself, "Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu, it is really Lao Jiu." ”

"What is he doing over there?" The new emperor asked impatiently.

The secret guard didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly revealed the news he had found, "The Nine Princes have opened a calligraphy and painting shop. ”

"Who do you associate with on weekdays?" Lao Jiu returned to the capital, could it be that he really competed with himself for the throne?

Thinking of this, the new emperor's face suddenly sank, if this was the case, he would ignore the brotherhood and send Lao Jiu in to join the other brothers.

"The Nine Princes usually only stay in the shop, occasionally talking about poetry and painting with a few literati, and his subordinates have not yet discovered who he has anything to do with the court."

The new emperor put his hands behind his back, obviously not believing this statement. Lao Jiu came back, just to open a shop?

He has always been suspicious, and would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than miss one.

"Go, in my name, to visit the Nine Princes." The new emperor's face was cold.

The dark guard didn't dare to say anything, and bowed his head in response.

After the secret guard left, the little eunuch beside the new emperor said softly, "Your Majesty's move is powerful, so that the Nine Princes can't move if they want to." ”

The new emperor paused, squinting at the little eunuch, "Do you know what I mean again?" ”

The little eunuch smiled, "The slave dares to guess, now that the Ninth Prince is already in the capital, His Majesty can't guard against it, so it's better to win it over." ”

"Yes, Xiao Anzi, even I dare to guess my thoughts." The new emperor's voice did not distinguish between joy and anger, and there was no expression on his face.

Xiao Anzi was so frightened that he knelt down abruptly, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the slave should die, and you shouldn't guess what Your Majesty means." ”

The new emperor sneered, "I didn't say anything, why are you scared like this?" Well? Get up. ”

Xiao Anzi stood up cautiously, but he didn't dare to say another word.

This is indeed what the new emperor meant, his reputation for killing his brother has spread, and he is definitely not good in the court, and he also knows that those sanctimonious ministers must be saying that he is cruel in their hearts.

Naturally, he doesn't mind this, it's just that, as the king of a country, he has to set an example for the world, which is to serve the public, if he gets along well with the Nine Princes, he can tell everyone in the open light, you see, it's not that I'm cruel, but those brothers who have offended my scales, otherwise, you see why I'm so good to Lao Jiu.

That's the idea that the new emperor hit.

But now he doesn't know the attitude of the Nine Princes, so he has to test it. If he is also like the King of Chu, then there is nothing to say.

Let's say that on the side of the Nine Princes, since he knew that someone was inquiring about him from time to time, he was no different from before, he still had to do what he should do, eat and sleep well.

Until this day, someone came to the door and asked to see the boss by name.

The guy smiled in front of him, "This guest, our boss has always rarely seen customers, and if you have anything to say, it's the same with me." ”

The man gave the guy a look that looked like it was ice, which was very intimidating. The guy immediately relented, realizing that the person in front of him might not be an ordinary person.
