Chapter 102 The Basic Law of Trust (Part II)

Sure enough, when I sent them out, Brother Jiu deliberately took a few steps behind and whispered to me: "There are forbidden items among the items we sent, and if you report this matter to the prince, you will definitely be able to gain his trust." ”

"Ninth Master, how do you want me to explain to the crown prince why I knew about this matter in advance?" I said angrily, "If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely be able to gain his trust, but now we are dealing with the crown prince, even if I am really sincere to him, he may not believe it!" Playing such a trick with him would only backfire and make him doubt me even more! ”

"What does Gege think it should be?"

"Sacrifice the car to protect the car." Without affecting the danger index of my trip, I can toss a few of your Lao Jiu people: "I directly said that the prince will not believe it, but what if I turn another corner?" It's just that the child can't catch the wolf, so it's up to the ninth master to be reluctant to put the people you have bothered to place next to the prince for many years. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Give him the credit for this debunking of you, and I'll demolish him again." I said confidently: "No matter how clever the prince is, he would never have thought that we would make such a big bend just to win his trust, and besides, the authorities are obsessed - I let him know that the people closest to him have problems, and he must be flustered for a moment, and then it is easier for him to believe me as an outsider." "This is the so-called breaking through other people's psychological defenses, if you want to drive straight in, you must first make him vulnerable and helpless!

"Gao, Gege is really resourceful, it seems that I will have to guard against you more in the future!" Brother Jiu sighed.

I was about to say a few words to dispel Brother Jiu's doubts about me, when Lao Shi saw that we were talking happily in the back, and the anger that had just been provoked by me resurfaced: "Brother Jiu, what do you have to say to the kind of woman who will only tend to be inflammatory, but I thought you were a temperamental!" I didn't expect you to be a prostitute's mother with you is a virtue, I bah! I was really blind back then. ”

"Old ten, shut up!" Brother Jiu saw that Lao Shi's scolding was really not like words, and he was afraid that I would change the plan if I heard it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"No!" I raised my hand to stop Lao Jiu's actions: "I won't be short of meat if I am scolded by him, why should I destroy your brother's feelings for me, a mere cheap woman?" "The important thing is that the more you hate me at this time, and the more fiercely you scold me, the easier it will be for the prince to believe me. So at this time, Lao Shi's scolding is beneficial to me and harmless, I might as well sell my favor to Lao Jiu.

"I'm afraid that if he continues to scold like this, Starling will be sad." Brother Nine looked ahead worriedly.

It turned out that it was because of his starling, look at me here to be amorous. "Since Brother Jiu wants to use me, he shouldn't have counted this a long time ago." I sarcastically said - do you want to worry about brotherhood again? It's late!

"You're so inhuman! You know that in the starling's heart—"

"So what?" I did not hesitate to interrupt his accusation: "There will always be only one master in my heart, and I will always do my best for him and die, I can't see the others, and I won't care if I see them!" "Don't you want me to be faithful to you? I'll show you how faithful I am to you

！

"Your assertion is so touching!" Brother Jiu was robbed by me very much, and he smiled instead of anger: "It's just that, do you think I still dare to believe your words?" ”

"Since I've made this decision, it doesn't matter to me whether you believe me or not." I gave him a pale and weak smile back, and said very indifferently: "I just want to help you complete this task as soon as possible - in fact, you also know that if I do such a thing for my master, God knows that one day I will disappear silently in a corner of this Forbidden City." What luxury could anyone like me ask for in a person who has no future at all? ”

After I finished speaking, without waiting for him to say anything sarcastic, I turned around and turned back to the prince's mansion, leaving the old ten comrades still standing at the door to greet my (to be exact, Liu Yun's) ancestors for eight generations. Brother Jiu, what I said to you is just a lie to win your trust, but I am right about one thing - I really have no future if I am driven by you like this.

On the night I returned to the prince's mansion, I heard that a little eunuch who was waiting to change clothes next to the prince reported that he accidentally found an inscription of Gu Yanwu, an anti-Qing literati, in the antique calligraphy and paintings sent by the eighth child. In fact, this problem is not big, but it is enough to make the Queen Mother return disappointed at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. When the time comes, he will be said by his emperor Ama to be unfavorable and not filial piety enough.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I heard that there was a little problem with the things sent by the Eighth Elder Brother today, what is going on?" I hurriedly rushed over and asked.

"You don't know?" The prince was really suspicious, and immediately tested me and said, "I heard that the eighth elder brother and you knew each other when you were in Yangzhou, and he also did something with others to save you, is there such a thing?" ”

O Prince! You said you could have asked me for advice if you wanted to talk - as a professional lawyer, I am the ancestor of clichés! Look, what you said won't beat around the bush, how unartistic it is! "Yes, if it weren't for Eighth Brother that time, I'm afraid I would have been-"

"Shut up, it seems that you really belong to the old eighty-one faction." When the prince saw that I unabashedly admitted my relationship with the eighth child in front of him, he was even more angry.

Historians have analyzed the reasons for the failure of so many princes, but did they mention that one is about temper? In my opinion, character determines fate, and even if the prince has a fiery temper like this, he will not be able to sit on the throne. "It's just that, the prince, the slave and maid have something unclear. Such an important matter, the eighth elder brother even hid it from the slave and maid, so naturally it was extremely secretive, how could it be casually discovered by a slave 'accidentally'? ”

"What do you mean by that?" The prince has a fiery temper, but he is not stupid, and I reacted to it when I said this.

"The slave is thinking, the eighth elder brother didn't do things so carelessly, could it be that someone is deliberately framing the eighth elder brother?" Let you think that I like Eighth Brother for the time being, and now I just need to prove that I have no selfish intentions.

"It's not that the eighth child is careless, it's that he's too smart! That's what they're really for! As soon as the prince was reminded by me, he immediately came to his senses: "Come on, take down the small road for me, and serve the big punishment!" ”

The prince was more excited because he "personally" broke the conspiracy of the eighth child, and he became polite when he spoke to me: "Thank you Gege for the reminder, Gege is really as selfless as the legend says." ”

"I-what did I say? Also, what's wrong with him, did he make any mistakes? I asked, feigning dumbness. It's a pity that the prince and his old man were busy trying to judge Xiaoluzi and grab the pigtails of the eighth child, so he didn't have time to watch my performance.

Seeing the prince walking away, I dared to pick up a handkerchief and secretly wipe the cold sweat on my forehead - even if the prince didn't have my reminder, he would still react by himself after a long time. If it weren't for my clever way to ask Brother Jiu to replace the informant with a small path in advance, the person who is lying in the torture room now is better than death would have to be replaced by me!

A little person like me, in front of these princes and brothers, can't really make a mistake
