Chapter 394: Drama
After Xiao Chumo's explanation, the hearts of the old housekeeper and the guards finally relaxed. Just as the old butler was about to call someone in to clean the broken porcelain pieces in the hall, his eyes suddenly fell on the longevity lock.
The exquisitely crafted longevity lock was lying quietly on the pile of tea leaves and broken porcelain pieces at this time, because Situ Ye had just thrown it a little hard, and it looked a little deformed.
The old housekeeper was very sure that this was indeed what Xiao Shizi had always carried with him on weekdays. But Xiao Chumo doesn't look like that kind of foolish and loyal person, and he shouldn't give up his son for a sword.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think about it.
Since the prince was playing with Situ Ye just now, will the matter about Xiao Shizi also ......
"This longevity lock is not Xiao Douding's. He's not in the capital right now, but he's safe. ”
Seeing that the old housekeeper's gaze suddenly stopped on the longevity lock, Xiao Chumo seemed to know what he was thinking, and before the former could ask, he opened his mouth. It's just more news, but he didn't say it.
But fortunately, the old housekeeper did not mean to continue to ask.
Even if he was a subordinate of the regent palace, he shouldn't have asked more about the master, and he was also concerned about it. If it were someone else's family, I am afraid that such a mouthful and tongue-in-law would have been dragged out and blamed a long time ago, and only the prince of his family could explain so patiently.
As for why Xiao Chumo can see at a glance that the longevity lock is wrong, in the final analysis, he still has to thank Yu Panxi a lot.
This longevity lock was personally ordered by Yu Panxi to create it, and the jade inlaid on the longevity lock contains a lot of aura, which was obtained together when Ah Ye was looking for an artifact for her, which is of great benefit to Xiao Douding, who is really a dragon.
Now the little bean ding in the palace was conjured up by Xingtian, although the appearance and the objects on his body are the same as Xiao Douding, but he can't copy such an aura thing.
Situ Ye didn't know the details, so naturally he wouldn't know that this longevity lock was fake, and even the child he used as a bargaining chip was fake.
It stands to reason that in fact, Xiao Chumo's physical body is mortal, and he is not as protective as Yu Panxi, so he should not be able to see the difference between these jades. It's just that now that he has the Xingtian Sword, his body will be more or less contaminated with a little bit of sword spirit, and he has seen a lot of artifacts, so he naturally can't tell the difference.
Such a thing can be counted as a secret. Moreover, he had just designed a Situ Ye, who was convinced of the news he had deliberately revealed, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
The broken porcelain pieces in the hall were quickly cleaned out by the mother-in-law who was in charge of cleaning in the house. Even if he already knew that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Chumo's body, Situ Ye's palm hit him solidly. At the insistence of the old housekeeper, Xiao Chumo finally agreed to let the house doctor check him, and drank two tonic meals in a row.
As Xiao Chumo had guessed before, two days after this incident, Situ Ye came to the Regent's Mansion again. In order to make him believe that he was "terminally ill", as early as when the former came over, Xiao Chumo had already asked the house doctor to increase the dosage of medicine for himself, making his face look even more haggard.
I don't know if he has enough confidence in his own methods or what, Situ Ye actually didn't doubt the authenticity of Xiao Chumo's "illness" at all. Seeing that he had to be supported by others when he walked, as if he was not long gone, this time Situ Ye didn't say any more nonsense, and after sneering, he "snatched" the Xingtian Sword from Xiao Chumo's hands.
"Lord Wang, people have gone far."
The old housekeeper deliberately asked people to stare at Situ Ye and his party as they walked out of the mansion, and then returned to Xiao Chumo to report.
It's just that when he spoke, his eyes were full of doubts, and he seemed to be a little puzzled, obviously two days ago, the prince did not hesitate to accept the palm of Situ Ye for this sword, why did he still hand it over now.
Xiao Chumo smiled and said nothing, for this matter, just like the fake longevity lock, he still didn't explain anything.
Last night, Xing Tian secretly went back to the palace to look for him. One is to report to him the situation on Situ Ye's side, and the other is to explain that he will find a way to smoothly hand over the Xingtian Sword to Situ Ye's hands.
At present, Xingtian's identity is "Little Douding", so on the surface, he can only follow the behavior of a child and is obediently placed under house arrest by Situ Ye's subordinates. But in fact, this was something he had already discussed with Xiao Chumo a long time ago, just to prevent this from happening.
According to what Xingtian himself said, now that his body has recognized Xiao Chumo as the master, Situ Ye can't drive the sword spirit, so he can only use the Xingtian Sword as an ordinary sword. If it is forcibly urged, it may disturb the balance of the internal force in his body, and the punishment genius will have the opportunity to attack him. And at the same time, only when the main body is by his side, he can exert all his strength.
This is also the reason why Xingtian must Xiao Chumo hand over the Xingtian Sword to Situ Ye.
"By the way, can I send news back in the past two days?"
After sorting out the thoughts in his heart a little, Xiao Chumo put these things aside for the time being, and asked the housekeeper about Yu Panxi's situation.
That night, after the latter took Liu Suifeng and a group of secret guards to the Yu family's old mansion, he sent him a message to inform him of where she was hiding, so as not to worry him. It's just that he has been nervous for the past two days, but he has somewhat ignored the situation over there.
However, hearing his question, the old housekeeper shook his head: "There is no news of the princess for the time being, it should be that Situ Ye's people have restrained her hands and feet, and she can't show up easily." ”
Xiao Chumo was not very surprised by his answer, as if this situation had long been expected by him: "Also, since Situ Ye dares to make a wanted warrant, it is naturally impossible to just stare at my side." Now is the time for him to be proud, but I am afraid that he has laid eyeliner everywhere in the capital. ”
As he spoke, he touched his chin as he seemed thoughtful. After secretly analyzing the current situation, he said to the housekeeper again: "Okay, you better go down and let people make more preparations." If you find that the princess is around the palace, be sure to cover her return. ”
Such a brainless sentence really made the old housekeeper a little puzzled. Didn't the princess pass the news that she was coming back, why did the prince look so determined?
Even though he had some doubts in his heart, this was not the time for him to ask. Besides, enough had happened in the past two days, and he couldn't afford to add to the chaos.
Thinking like this, without waiting for Xiao Chumo to urge, the housekeeper bowed his head and responded: "Yes, please rest assured, the subordinates will arrange it." ”
