Chapter 57: The Problem

The Seventh Prince, Xiao Ni's face turned red when he was robbed, and he waved his hand again and again to clarify:

"Third brother, don't get me wrong! How dare I disobey my father's teachings, be playful and extravagant, and not be motivated? ”

At this point, he smiled embarrassedly and said:

"Actually, when I went to greet Concubine Jing yesterday, I heard the little waiter who went out to buy gadgets talk about Lixiangyuan......

"Third brother, you always say that I have a good comparison with Mo Yang, the genius of Lixiangyuan, but you don't always say where it is. If I don't seize the opportunity, I don't know when I will be able to meet that genius in the future? ”

The third prince, Xiao Yan, guessed this in his heart, and couldn't help but snort proudly at the moment.

Oh, God help him!

Because he was in a hurry to make a business, he wanted Xiao Ren to personally say the most important destination of this trip, so he would give him a better excuse.

It's just that the reason given by Lao Qi is not enough, at least not enough for him to disrupt all the scheduled schedules.

Just for the petty selfishness of a waste prince, he changed the important errand assigned to him by his father?

Not to mention that it is spread out, people laugh at him for being indecisive, regardless of priority.

Such a rare good thing that can not only be in the limelight, but also suppress the prince, must not let the father and the ministers find the slightest mistake!

And just when he was thinking about how to make up for this without a trace, he would tremble when he had been silent and opened his mouth before, and even his voice trembled, but Xiao Ren, the prince of Anyang, spoke very smoothly and asked Xiao Ni:

"Did something happen to Lixiangyuan?"

Because he was detained in Zongzheng Temple for the past two days, and the suspicion of murdering the prime minister has not been cleared. Anything that happens in the outside world, no one wants to say a word more in front of him, the suspect.

Of course, this is in addition to the fierce inquisitors during the interrogation, who do not know how much to believe in the extorted confessions.

Xiao Ni didn't expect the people in the car to ask such a question, and after being slightly stunned in surprise, she didn't dislike it, and said with a friendly smile:

"It's not surprising that the prince doesn't know, this is a big case that only happened yesterday, and I couldn't believe it when I first heard it."

Xiao Ni said as he approached Xiao Ren.

"Today, I found an excuse to sneak out of the palace, and after walking around, I found that what the little chamberlain said was really good. Now in the streets and alleys of the city, teahouses and restaurants have spread. ”

He said it slowly, but because his voice was not inferior to his skin, Xiao Ren couldn't help but indulge the more he listened. and deeply regrets that he listened to people's words in the past and did not associate and get close to such an outstanding figure as soon as possible.

It was also because of Xiao Ni's relaxed speech and demeanor that Xiao Ren was able to temporarily get out of his mentality and the situation that had almost made him desperate to suffocate.

At this time, Xiao Ni was still talking with a smile.

"It is rumored that the strange thief who sneaked into the sealed pear fragrance garden yesterday did not alarm anyone in broad daylight, and stole all the treasures in the garden, leaving only a provocative note. And not only did Lixiangyuan's own family suffer heavy losses, but I heard that the rich children had stored the treasures there, and they seemed to have lost a lot. ”

"I rarely have the opportunity to leave the palace, and I have never seen what kind of treasures they are. But Shizi is a frequent visitor to Lixiangyuan, and he must know very well how valuable the lost things are. And Lixiangyuan has been sealed, and its popularity will fall, and I don't know how to be harshly criticized and pursued this time. ”

After sighing regretfully, Xiao Ni suddenly turned his head, playfully winked at Xiao Ren, the prince of Anyang, and said in a low voice meaningfully:

"I don't know if the prince will also lose a lot in this accident. But I've heard that the prince has always spent a lot of money, so he must not care about these things outside his body? Or is this news a good thing for the prince? ”

When Xiao Ren heard this, he wanted to smile bitterly, but he couldn't pull the corners of his mouth at all, and his distorted expression was like having just swallowed a pound of Coptis chinensis.

Seeing this, Xiao Ni immediately smiled, sincerely bowed his head and apologized:

"Don't go to your heart, I'm really sorry, I don't have any malicious ......"

Xiao Ren shook his head and laughed at himself:

"Your Highness the Seventh is right, you guessed or heard about it, right? This time, I was able to leave Zongzheng Temple, because His Majesty was kind enough to let the three princes escort me to various places in Beijing that I had nostalgia for. Even if I collect evidence, it will be my last chance to prove my innocence. ”

Xiao Ni seemed to have accidentally touched Xiao Ren's sad place, and her face was guilty and slightly anxious.

The awkward silence slowly permeated.

But after only two breaths, he seemed to be unable to bear to let this heavy atmosphere continue to erode the prince who was about to collapse, and quickly spoke:

"But as the saying goes, if you lose your horse, you don't know if you're not lucky. The prince is a gentle and amiable person at first glance, and I believe that you are innocent. And can be blessed by God and turn danger into relief. ”

At this point of encouragement, he immediately changed the topic and said with sincere emotion:

"But, seriously, I really admire you."

Xiao Ren has never heard many words of praise since he was a child, let alone being recognized and admired.

I haven't heard of him since he was the heir to the throne, and now that he has become a prisoner, some people still say that they admire him?!

"Why?!"

Xiao Ren, who was so surprised that his eyes lit up and stammered, suddenly realized in the next moment, and said dejectedly: "You are sympathizing with me." ”

"Really, what I said is true!"

Xiao Ni emphasized without hesitation, and immediately gave the reason in a low voice.

"I heard that the son, in the heavy prison of Zongzheng Temple, you wrote a blood letter to your father. And after that, not only did he get the opportunity to face the saint alone, but he also made the stubborn father change his mind and let you out. Not to mention eloquence, is this courage that ordinary people can't achieve? ”

After he sincerely praised together, he couldn't help but be curious, got closer to the carriage, and asked in a low and excited voice:

"How did the son of the world do it? What is written in your blood book? How did he persuade his father? ”

As Xiao Ni asked a word, Danyang's handwriting flashed in Xiao Ren's mind, and the cold sweat on his head kept gathering more and more.

And at this moment, the group has reached a fork in the road.

To the left is the predetermined route, and it is the shortest line that connects all the places to be checked later. But go to the right, but a few feet away you will reach the pear fragrance garden.

But the third prince, Xiao Yan, had almost lost his mind, and he didn't come up with a good way - to let Xiao Ni say an excuse that was enough to change their itinerary.

Seeing that the intersection was getting closer and closer, he heard that the leader of the Royal Forest Army behind him had begun to order his subordinates to go to the turning intersection to check the situation first.

Xiao Yan knew that he couldn't wait any longer!

"Old Seven!"

The Seven Princes are looking at the Prince of Anyang with anticipation and excitement in their eyes, and the prince of Anyang who has just opened his mouth.

This flat ground roared, and both of them were immediately frightened.

Xiao Ren sat down even more while shaking, and the whole person shrank into the carriage.

After Xiao Ni's eyes darkened, he immediately turned his head and responded with a bright smile:

"The third brother called me?"

At this time, Xiao Yan was staring at him impatiently.

The two looked at each other in the air, and Xiao Yan hooked his lips and smiled disdainfully.

"You've been following you for so long, have you had a good time? Do you really want to go on business with me? ”

At this point, Xiao Yan suddenly retracted his smile, raised his chin contemptuously, and snorted in annoyance:

"Go back to the palace."
