In the evening, the Nine Emperor Princes went to the small palace to deliver a letter.

Qiao Wanshu will stay with him for the time being, and when the situation calms down, she will be returned to Qiao's family.

Although Chen is worried about his daughter, he also knows that this is probably the best choice at the moment.

Qiao's family was under house arrest in a small palace because of their fourth son, Qiao Jingyang, and even adults couldn't guarantee food and water, let alone take care of Qiao Wanshu, a child.

Although the Nine Emperors are only a child, they are the princes who are valued by the emperor after all.

Thinking about it, this is the only choice.

In Chen's heart, there is still an unspeakable expectation.

In case, the emperor really doesn't care about it, and wants to uproot the Qiao family.

Maybe Qiao Wanshu staying by the Nine Emperors' side was her only chance to save her life.

This idea, whether it was General Chen, Qiao Zhongtian and others, all had faint preparations in their hearts, but no one said it.

After receiving the reply promised by the Qiao family, the Nine Emperor Princes somewhat understood the meaning of the Qiao family's "entrusting orphans".

He looked at Qiao Wanshu silently, and did not hand her over to others, but stayed by his side all the time.

When it was time to rest at night, the Nine Emperor Princes did not let Qiao Wanshu be alone in the room, but asked the palace maid to prepare the beauty couch in her room, which was only separated from the bed by a screen.

Qiao Wanshu has been in this world for so long, and it is the first time she has been in the same room with someone other than the Qiao family.

She was originally a little jealous of the Nine Emperor Princes, and always felt that although he was young, he was an incomprehensible person.

And in the original book, there are only a few descriptions of him, and the feeling of being outside the control always makes Qiao Wanshu feel very uncomfortable in her heart.

[I can't sleep, it's been a long night, how can I stay up.] 】

Qiao Wanshu lay on the bed, tossing and turning.

She looked up, looked at the figure lying on the beauty couch outside the screen, and muttered silently in her heart: [That guy can sleep. Such a big thing happened, and he was still like a person who had nothing to do, was he really calm, or was he heartless? 】

After trying to close her eyes and count the sheep for a while, she still didn't feel the slightest sleep, Qiao Wanshu simply turned over and sat up, chrysalis twice, and jumped off the bed.

She tiptoed out barefoot.

As soon as I turned the screen, I saw the Nine Emperors with a book on his face, lying on the beauty couch with his arms folded.

"If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you wandering about?"

He took the book down, and his eyes did not have the slightest sleepiness from the sleep he had just slept, but looked very awake.

"I can't sleep, I miss my mother."

Of course, Qiao Wanshu couldn't say that she came down to find out some news.

At least get a glimpse of what kind of person the Nine Emperor Princes are.

"Also, how old are you, it's the age of missing your mother. But it's a pity that there is only this prince here, but there is no mother of yours. ”

The Nine Emperor Princes looked at Qiao Wanshu as if she was smiling, making her always feel that no matter what she was thinking, she had already been seen through by him.

"I ...... I'm going to sleep. ”

Qiao Wanshu was blocked by such a "door god", and it was really difficult to sneak out in the middle of the night to do something, so she turned around and consciously lay back on the bed.

Strange to say, after walking around for a while, she soon felt sleepiness coming, and fell asleep unconsciously.

The Nine Emperor Princes listened quietly for a while reading a book outside.

After making sure that there was an even breathing sound coming from inside, he smiled and shook his head.

Qiao Wanshu's little girl is really interesting, obviously she couldn't sleep when she turned around before, but she just came down and took a turn, and she was able to sleep peacefully?

In the world of children, he really doesn't understand.

The night was already dark, and the Nine Emperor Princes still didn't feel sleepy.

He was concentrating on his book when he heard a knock on the door.

A maid carried a food box and pushed the door in.

"Your Highness the Nine, please have a supper."

She didn't get the permission of the Nine Emperor Princes, so she walked straight over with the food box.

Take out a bowl of cheese from it.

"Take it away, this prince doesn't have the habit of using supper."

The Nine Emperor Princes glanced at the maid, and suddenly felt that she was a little familiar.

"Are you...... Qingwu? ”

He suddenly frowned: "This prince remembers that you have already been sent out because of your mistakes, how can you still send supper to this prince?" ”

The movement outside had already alarmed Qiao Wanshu.

She rubbed her eyes and half-sat up, looking out through the screen.

Hearing the Nine Emperors call the maid's name, she was still a little sleepy, but it suddenly dissipated.

【Qingwu? Isn't that the name of the maid who was bought by the queen? But she had never been chased away before, and she had always been by the side of the Nine Emperor Princes. Why was he kicked out so early this time? 】

[Is it possible...... That is the prince, he is also reborn, so he will perceive something? 】

Qiao Wanshu was thinking about it, but there was a sudden change outside.

Qing Wu saw that the Nine Emperor Princes were very vigilant, and suddenly shot directly and grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Let you eat it, eat it, where is so much nonsense!"

That maid is actually a practitioner, and judging by her movements, it is obvious that her skills are not weak.

But the Nine Emperors are not fuel-efficient lamps either.

He dodged quickly, dodging Qingwu's grasp.

When he turned over and jumped off the couch, he twisted his arms that locked Qingwu's legs, and directly relied on the force of his body rotation to slam the maid to the ground.

The situation flipped in an instant.

Qingwu wanted to forcefully pour cheese on the Nine Emperors, but he was suppressed in a blink of an eye and became a prisoner.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you okay!"

The guards outside the door heard the noise and couldn't help but break in.

"Take her down! The spilled cheese was taken to the imperial doctor for examination to see if it had been poisoned. ”

The Nine Emperors arranged it in an orderly manner.

As he was talking, the maid Qingwu suddenly bit hard in her mouth, and a stream of fishy black blood immediately gushed out of her mouth, and she lost her voice when she tilted her head.

"Your Highness, she killed herself."

The guards were also caught off guard, and looked at the maid Qingwu who had committed suicide in astonishment.

"Dead? Count her fast. Drag people down, take care to keep the body, and don't let outsiders approach. ”

The Nine Emperor Princes were instructing the guards when they saw Qiao Wanshu holding a pillow and hesitantly poking her head out from behind the screen.

"Scaring you? I'm sorry. ”

He immediately walked over quickly, picked up Qiao Wanshu, and sent her back to the bed in person.

"Sleep in peace, I won't leave here until you fall asleep."

The Nine Emperor Princes also wanted to be able to lull Qiao Wanshu to sleep, but he had never been coaxed since he was a child, so he didn't know where to start.

Qiao Wanshu tentatively grabbed his hand, and when she saw that the Nine Emperor Princes did not shake it off, she closed her eyes with peace of mind.

The Nine Emperor Princes stared at the little hand that grabbed him, his eyes flickering, and he even quietly lightened his breathing.
