Chapter 17: Jealousy

Of course, Xiao Ji remembered what happened last night, Fu Yuanxiao spoke into the air, he saw it with his own eyes, and it was similar to the rumors.

He thought it was just Fu Yuanxiao's crazy words, but he didn't expect her to bring two people back.

He glanced at the two dirty beggars behind her again, "What's their name?" ”

Fu Yuanxiao said: "Tian Zhi and Tian Xiaohua are consistent with what Tian Xiao'e said, I am not wrong." ”

Xiao Ji's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, the three of them were all surnamed Tian, was it a coincidence or ...... He looked at Fu Yuanxiao with an innocent face, what she said into the air last night was true?

Then why didn't he see Tian Xiao'e?

Who is Tian Xiao'e?

After separating from Fu Yuanxiao, Xiao Ji instructed: "Go and find out where the next person last night and the four dead people are from, and what is the relationship, as well as Tian Xiao'e." ”

"It's the prince." Xu Yan was ordered to go to the north wing room and interrogate the subordinate named He Zhuang last night.

Later, he sent people to Shilipo to investigate Tian Xiao'e's family.

When all the investigation was clear, it was already afternoon, Xu Yan pushed open the door of the study and walked in, looked at Xiao Ji who was sitting in front of the bookcase, and bowed down to report.

"The prince has already investigated clearly, last night's subordinates and the four who died before are from the same Qinghe Village, they are idle on weekdays, not doing their jobs, and they are also recruited into the mansion by the same batch. There is a family surnamed Tian in Qinghe Village, a total of five people, Tian Xiao'e and her parents died half a year ago, leaving only young siblings, named Tian Zhi and Tian Xiaohua. ”

Xiao Ji was shocked after hearing this, what Fu Yuanxiao said last night was not crazy, but true.

asked Xu Yan to inquire about the news before, and also said that Fu Yuanxiao was stupid and sometimes crazy, and always said that there were ghosts.

So, although Fu Yuanxiao is stupid, he can really see things that others can't see?

Thinking about this, Xiao Ji still felt a little incredible.

"Send He Zhuang to the government and explain the reason."

"It's the prince." Xu Yan withdrew.

Xiao Ji thought for a moment and got up to Chu Yuwan.

Fu Yuanxiao looked at Tian Zhi and Tian Xiaohua, the brothers and sisters, who had just bathed and changed into new clothes, which were much cleaner and tidy.

The appearance is not bad, but it is too thin.

Tian Zhi is one year younger than Fu Yuanxiao, and because he is a boy, he is much taller than Fu Yuanxiao.

The young man stood in front of Fu Yuanxiao a little helplessly, he had never seen such a beautiful girl, and his white cheeks were slightly red.

Fu Yuanxiao was very satisfied with their dress.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, your brothers and sisters will stay in the royal mansion first, stay until the second day of the new year, and you will go back to your mother's house with me."

Tian Xiaohua was still a child and didn't understand, so she turned her head to look at Tian Zhi, "Brother? ”

Tian Zhi glanced down at his sister, pursed his lips, raised his head and looked at Fu Yuanxiao, "Princess, can we stay in the palace?" I do all the work, and I can do heavy work. ”

Fu Yuanxiao laughed out loud when she heard this, "Are you stupid?" What can I do if I stay in the palace? My father is in business, and he has a lot of shops and fields, so you can learn some useful things from me, which is better than following me. ”

Xiao Ji walked into the courtyard and saw Fu Yuanxiao smiling at other boys, and he was smiling so sweetly.

It's just a stranger who has just met, and the little fool smiles at him.

I've never smiled at him like this?

He walked over with a gloomy face.

Tian Zhi was a little hesitant when he heard this, but when he thought that Fu Yuanxiao had saved him and provided food and drink for his brother and sister, that hesitation was gone.

"I still want to follow the princess."

Xiao Ji's eyes became a little gloomy when he heard this, and when he looked at Fu Yuanxiao, he was immediately replaced by gentleness, "Xiao'er." ”

Fu Yuanxiao saw Xiao Ji coming, and her peach blossom eyes bent, "Husband, you're here." ”

Xiao Ji glanced at Tian Zhi coldly, "What are you doing with the princess?" ”

Tian Zhi raised his head and saw Xiao Ji, thinking that he was the prince, so he pulled his sister to kneel down and salute.

Tian Xiaohua was young, and the eldest brother wanted her to kneel.

"Lord, it was the princess who saved our brother and sister, and I should follow the princess so that I can repay the grace of saving my life."

Xiao Ji evoked a sneer, "What will you do?" ”

Tian Zhidao: "I can chop wood and carry water, and I can also farm. ”

Xiao Ji said: "The princess is not short of these. ”

Tian Zhi was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he only had this, but the princess was not lacking.

He pursed his lips, "Nothing else, I can learn." ”

Xiao Ji saw that he didn't give up, and asked again: "What do you want to learn?" ”

Tian Zhi thought for a while, and said very firmly: "I want to protect the princess." ”

Xiao Ji seemed to have heard some joke and wanted to protect his princess?

My princess, it's your turn to protect you?

He suddenly thought of a way and curled the corners of his lips, "If you want to protect the princess, you have to learn martial arts first, can you do it?" ”

Tian Zhi nodded when he heard this, "I can." ”

Fu Yuanxiao was a little unbearable, and reminded: "Why do you want to learn martial arts? Learning martial arts is very tiring and hard, it is better to learn some bookkeeping skills, and become a bookkeeper in the future, isn't it better than learning martial arts? ”

Xiao Ji lowered her eyes and looked at her, so nosy?

Tian Zhi looked at Fu Yuanxiao and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the princess, I have made up my mind." ”

Xiao Ji didn't wait for Fu Yuanxiao to speak, and said, "Then clean up and let Xu Yan take you there." ”

Tian Zhi was a little surprised, "Do you want to go now?" ”

Fu Yuanxiao tugged Xiao Ji's sleeve and gently reminded, "Husband, today is Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Xiao Ji glanced at Fu Yuanxiao, and looked at Tian Zhi again: "Of course, don't you want to protect the princess?" If you go early, you will return a day earlier. ”

Tian Zhi thought about it, and agreed as soon as he gritted his teeth.

"I'll clean it up."

Tian Xiaohua was a little reluctant to learn that her brother was leaving, "Brother." ”

Tian Zhi took his sister and instructed as he walked: "In the future, when the eldest brother is not around, you must take care of yourself, and you must be smart, you can't be lazy, you know?" ”

Tian Xiaohua said: "I know, big brother." ”

Xiao Ji retracted his gaze and looked at Fu Yuanxiao, "Xiao'er." ”

Fu Yuanxiao raised his head and looked at Xiao Ji, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Ji thought of what happened last night, "How did you see Tian Xiao'e?" ”

Fu Yuanxiao said: "Since I was six years old, I have been able to see things that others can't see, and I don't know why I suddenly saw them. ”

Xiao Ji's gaze looked at her beautiful peach blossom eyes, which were clearer and brighter than ordinary people's eyes, and she couldn't see anything abnormal.

It's these eyes that can see things that others can't.

"I'm going to the palace tonight to attend a family banquet, do you remember to take a shower and change clothes early, and you can't wear your usual clothes, you know?"

Fu Yuanxiao nodded, "I see." ”

Xiao Ji took a deep look at Fu Yuanxiao before leaving.

After Tian Zhi packed up, he was taken out of the palace by Xu Yan and got into a carriage.

Inside the carriage, Tian Zhi lifted the curtain of the carriage, watching the palace getting farther and farther away, feeling a little melancholy, and more determined in his choice.

Palm light time.

Fu Yuanxiao bathed and changed clothes under the waiting of the jewel.

When entering the palace to participate in the family banquet, you must wear the dress of the princess.
