I really didn't expect it to turn out like this. Thinking back to the previous Dongxuanguo, Chi Wan was full of emotion, "To be honest, when the prince was in power, nothing was worse than now, you look at the capital now, what has become of the rumors, the people dare not say anything, for fear of being killed, there is not even a storyteller in the restaurant, it's really ridiculous." If the king of Chu is really frank and has a clear conscience, why did he drive all the storytellers away? ”

Xie Yutang hooked the corners of his mouth, and a mocking smile appeared in his eyes, "He doesn't dare, he has a weak heart, but so what, he just wants everyone to surrender to him, he wants to control all power, as for the rest, it is not in his consideration at all." ”

Chi Wan couldn't help but shudder, "He's going to play with the whole world in the palm of his hand." "It's horrible.

"He pretended to be too similar to see it at all."

Before becoming the emperor, the king of Chu was a generous and benevolent person, thinking about the people everywhere, and degrading the prince to nothing, making people believe that if he became the emperor, it would definitely be very different. Who would have thought that he was the one who hid the deepest.

Xie Yutang wiped his face and said in frustration, "It's because I don't know people clearly, and I'm helping to abuse people." ”

Seeing the current situation in the capital, Xie Yutang's heart was full of remorse.

He was smart for a lifetime, but in the end he was tricked by his good friend and helped him seize power, I thought he would treat the world well, so even if he killed himself, it didn't matter, who knows, he would not even let go of the people of the world.

Chi Wan couldn't see him like this, Xie Yutang should be high-spirited, "Yutang, it's not your fault, don't blame yourself." ”

Xie Yutang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's me, if it weren't for me, the King of Chu wouldn't have ascended to the throne so smoothly, I'm guilty, I'm ashamed of the people of the world, and I'm ashamed of the Xie family." ”

Chi Wan felt very uncomfortable, walked over and hugged Xie Yutang, and gently patted his back, "Okay, okay, don't take all the mistakes on yourself, you didn't let the King of Chu do this, you just overthrew an unqualified emperor." ”

Her voice and movements were extremely soft, soothing Xie Yutang's uncomfortable heart little by little, his emotions slowly calmed down, hugged Chi Wan with his backhand, buried his head in her neck, and asked softly, "Really, don't you blame me?" ”

Ji Wan nodded firmly, "Of course, I will never blame you." ”

Because she knows that Xie Yutang is such a sincere and kind person, what qualifications does she have to blame him, and what qualifications does the world have to blame him?

The two hugged quietly for a while, Xie Yutang's mood was much better, and he gently let go of Chi Wan, but his hand was still holding her hand, and his fingers were interlocked. It seems that only in this way can his depressed heart feel better.

Chi Wan didn't break away either, and after a while, she asked softly, "Have you seen the Ninth Prince today?" ”

Last night, Xie Yutang said that he was going to find the Nine Princes, and now that the capital has become like this, Xie Yutang must ask the Nine Princes for clarification.

"I didn't see anyone." Xie Yutang pursed his lips and sighed in disappointment.

In fact, when Chi Wan saw Xie Yutang's expression just now, she knew that this trip would definitely be unfavorable. She wasn't much disappointed, she just said, "Then let's go next time, as long as the Ninth Prince is in the capital, we will definitely be able to see him." ”

"Hmm." Xie Yutang answered, but there was a layer of gloom in his eyes that was difficult to dispel, but he turned his back to Chi Wan and didn't let her see it.

Chi Wan was too optimistic, and in the next few days, they tried their best to find the Nine Princes, and this person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Ji Wan's heart gradually became less certain.

Nine Princes, is it really the same Nine Princes as before?

Before, because of the personal relationship between the two, she never believed that the Nine Princes would get together with the King of Chu, but after so many days in the capital, the Nine Princes, who have always loved freedom, rarely showed up, which was not normal at all.

"Yutang, I think, will the Ninth Prince ......" Chi Wan was extremely worried.

"No, don't think about it."

Hearing this, Chi Wan could only suppress the doubts in her heart and continued to inquire around about the itinerary of the Nine Princes.

On this day, they listened to the news outside the prince's mansion, and saw a gorgeous carriage stop at the door, and the porter immediately smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

"Is your prince here?" Out of the carriage was a very feminine man, with a pale face and no beard.

Chi Wan and Xie Yutang glanced at each other, this person should be a eunuch in the palace.

"Princess, you're here." The porter stepped forward and saluted, and then said, "The prince is in the mansion, you know, the prince doesn't like to go out, you, when you come, he is in the mansion." ”

Chi Wan sneered in her heart, the Nine Princes don't like to go out? Is this person really from the Nine Princes' Mansion? As far as she knew, the Ninth Prince didn't like to stay at home, and he himself said that as long as he stayed for more than three days, he would feel unwell and had to go out to play. When did the Nine Princes change their sex?

"Well, let's go in and talk to him for a while."

"You please, you please." The porter politely invited people in.

Chi Wan was secretly anxious in her heart, and when she went in, they couldn't hear what she said. What to do? She looked at Xie Yutang and asked with her eyes.

Xie Yutang looked up at the high wall, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Chi Wan also understood what he meant, but she was still a little hesitant, how could she go up with this wall so high? Besides, the palace is full of people, and maybe they will be discovered before they have landed.

"Why don't you forget it?" Ji Wan retreated.

But I don't know why, Xie Yutang just has a strong intuition, and he must hear today's words. Thinking of this, he said to Chi Wan, "It's okay, I know there is a remote place with fewer people, I'll go up from there, you just wait for me outside." ”

Chi Wan couldn't persuade him, so she had to agree, "That's okay, you be careful." ”

Xie Yutang nodded, and quickly disappeared from in front of Chi Wan.

At this time, in the palace, the prince was really talking to the ninth prince, the two sat opposite each other, the prince smiled with a wrinkled face, the ninth prince listened to him carefully, echoed a few times from time to time, and it could be seen that the two seemed to talk very happily.

Xie Yutang, who was squatting on the roof and peeping, looked more and more ugly. He originally didn't believe that the Nine Princes would come together with the King of Chu, but when he saw this scene, he was a little skeptical.

The two people below had already talked about it, and the prince stood up and arched his hand, "In this way, then our family will go back to the palace first, and don't disturb the rest of the ninth prince." ”

"Whatever the father-in-law said, go back and greet the royal brother for this king."

"Our family must bring it, the brotherhood between the Nine Princes and His Majesty is really touching." The prince's voice was sharp, and his laughter was quite harsh.

The Nine Princes didn't have any uncomfortable looks, and let people send him out.

As soon as the prince left, the smile on the face of the ninth prince suddenly disappeared. He turned his head back to the seat just now, threw the teacup that the other party had drunk into the trash basket next to him, poured another cup himself, and drank it slowly.

Xie Yutang looked strange, and when he was about to go down, there was a sudden sound of footsteps coming this way, he was shocked, and immediately shrank his body behind the tree, and then he didn't dare to come out rashly, and waited until the footsteps disappeared, and then slipped down from the tree quietly.

Chi Wan was waiting in a hurry, and when she saw him come out, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly greeted him, "Why did you come back?" ”

Xie Yutang touched her head soothingly, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

Hearing this, Chi Wan knew that he should have heard some useful information.

After returning to the post station, Xie Yutang vigilantly closed the doors and windows, and only then did he bring out the scene he had just seen.

"Hearing you say this, the interaction between the Nine Princes and that eunuch is really a little strange." Ji Wan twisted her eyebrows and analyzed.

"I also think that there should be some misunderstanding and greasy here."

When the Nine Princes faced the eunuchs, they were like a spring breeze, but as soon as the person left, his face immediately changed, much like the kind of obedience that was threatened and forced to obey.

"I'll just say that the prince must be persecuted." Ji Wan breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she had unloaded her burden.

Xie Yutang didn't immediately draw a conclusion, "It's too early to say this, what kind of attitude does the Nine Princes have, and they can only count when they see people." ”

"But didn't you say that the palace guards were very strict? How do we get in, go at night? ”

"Go at night, it's only going to be stricter."

"What then?" Chi Wan frowned, "The Ninth Prince is not as often outside as before, and it is difficult to see him now." ”

Xie Yutang smiled mysteriously, "In a few days, the Ninth Prince will go to the temple to offer incense, and when the time comes, we will block him on the road." ”

Hearing this, Ji Wan's eyes lit up, "Really? That's great, but, temple? I remember that the Ninth Prince said, didn't he not believe in this? ”

After being separated for so long, Chi Wan found that she really couldn't understand this friend more and more, the other party had changed so much that she couldn't figure out his mind at all.

"It is said to pray for the blessing of the country."

Chi Wan nodded thoughtfully, "No matter what it is, as long as he can see it, fortunately, he will still go out to the temple, otherwise there will really be no chance to meet." ”

The two discussed again, and Chi Wan asked, "Then how are we going to meet people then?" ”

If the Nine Princes really took refuge in the King of Chu, then their rash appearance would be tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger.

In case the Nine Princes caught them in front of the King of Chu, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Although Chi Wan felt that this probability was very small, she didn't want Xie Yutang to take risks, after all, the King of Chu really hated Xie Yutang too much, if he didn't catch him, she was afraid that he wouldn't be at ease for a day.

Xie Yutang looked at her in a solemn tone, "Wanwan, we only have one chance for the Ninth Prince, no matter what he thinks in his heart, we must go this way." ”
