Seeing Xiao Ya, who looked like a girl from the south of the Yangtze River, but had a hot personality like a girl from the northwest, walking out quickly, Liuli felt a little disappointed, but also a little relieved. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ya walked to the door and turned back.

, "Sister-in-law Eleven, aren't you curious why I was detained in the palace, copying scriptures and praying for blessings, and couldn't get out for many days?"

Liuli raised her eyebrows.

Xiao Ya doesn't like to talk about right and wrong, which is one of the reasons why Liuli likes Xiao Ya. Unless it has something to do with her. And if Xiao Ya can take the initiative to say it, it will be even more involved.

Could it be that Xiao Zuo is ill? But there is no way that Xiao Shiyi and Shitou would not tell her about this. Could it be that there is chaos in the inner palace? Recently, she has been staying at the Prince's Mansion all day long, and in line with the deep love between husband and wife that Xiao Shiyi insists on creating,

The illusion of being inseparable for a moment did not pay attention to the gossip outside.

"Does Sister-in-law Eleven know about my second brother's injury?" Seeing Liuli's expression, Xiao Ya knew that she really hadn't heard the news.

Liuli nodded with an indifferent expression, "On the day I entered the palace to thank him, I heard that King Jing was assassinated. However, I also heard that his life was safe, so I didn't ask much about anything else."

Xiao Ya looked at her face and saw that Liuli showed no expression of resentment or anger. She felt a little relieved and thought for a moment, "The people in the palace kept the matter of my second brother's assassination a secret. They only said that it was because they met someone who was not discerning.

Robbers."

There seems to be something hidden? Liuli frowned, "What happened to the robber?"

"He was hacked to death on the spot." When Xiao Ya talked about this tragic incident, her expression remained unmoved. She was obviously used to seeing the killings in the royal bouquet and was numb. "The robber was quite capable, he could do it alone.

You can actually touch my second brother. You know, not everyone is like my eleventh brother and... ninth brother, who don't like to have people around. Ninth brother is okay, he has a few guards, and eleventh brother sometimes is alone.

Go, there are..." I wanted to say that I had a few beauties around me, but I stopped myself in time. You know, Liuli is Brother Eleven's concubine.

"I've searched here and there, but I haven't found any mastermind behind it. It's a troubled time now. The turmoil of last year's natural disaster has just passed. My father wanted to keep things quiet, so he didn't start a big fight. Sister-in-law Eleven is right, in short, his life is not in danger...

…”

"Severely injured?" Liuli heard the implication.

A lone gangster robbed a heavily guarded carriage. This gangster was not brave. He was looking for death. If he was not mentally ill, who would do such a thing in Tokyo? Even the bravest could not do this! If he drank too much,

, how could she break through Xiao Zhong's defense? She knew that Xiao Zhong seemed to be an upright gentleman, but he was extremely cautious. He also liked ostentation, and among the princes, he used the most guards and honor guards when he went out. But,

Those pedantic old ministers also said that this was the majesty of the heavenly family and praised his prudent behavior. I don't know how much boiling water went into their minds.

And Xiao Zuo cannot tolerate being offended by others. Because he is weak at heart, he behaves very strongly. To put it bluntly, he is a person who cannot afford to lose. So if there is no special reason that cannot be made public, how can he be allowed to hurt him?

A man with sons? Even though he has many sons, it’s not a big deal that he will be killed or injured.

The last point is that Xiao Ya emphasized the words "life is not affected", which means that apart from Xiao Zhong's life, the damage will be very serious. In summary, it is enough to show that this matter is not that simple.

"There are no missing arms or legs..." Xiao Ya seemed to be embarrassed, and her face turned red suspiciously, "The robber's knife skills were not accurate, but my second brother's limbs were damaged. Alas, it's a pity.

He has not left any heirs..."

Liuli was taken aback. Speaking of this, it was clear that Xiao Zhong was... crippled. Otherwise, where would he be injured? Why would he be injured by such a coincidence? If he didn't have a purpose, he would go straight to that place and start robbing or fighting.

, this kind of difficult "surgery" is difficult to succeed in one go.

It's rare for Xiao Ya to know this kind of secret. This situation is a great humiliation for men, and they should try their best to cover it up. And since Xiao Zhong is no longer a man, and he has no son behind him, the prince, and even the throne are not related to him.

He is insulated!

Jiulang was demoted to a commoner, and the son of the Empress Yuan became a waste. Xiao Mu, the tenth king, was never an alternative because he was related to the word "ten". The rest...the eldest prince born to Concubine Cui Shu, the fourth prince died young, and the other concubines

The third prince was born, the sixth prince died young, the eighth prince grew up, married a wife and had children, but one year he was seriously injured while hunting and died, so now only the fifth prince Tu Wang Xiao Shi and the seventh prince Lu Wang Xiao An are adults.

.

The situation in the capital seemed to suddenly become clear, and the two most unlikely candidates suddenly appeared. However, Xiao Zuo was still in his prime. Although no emperor's heir had been born in the palace in the past seven or eight years, he was still underage.

She still has many sons. Besides, will Cui Shufei take the opportunity to get Jiulang back?

But why do you think so much? According to Xiao Shiyi's plan, this dynasty will be destroyed in two years, and he will not let the government turn around. He can only be so beautiful on the surface, but secretly decay.

"You already know this..." Liuli tried.

Xiao Ya immediately understood what she meant and lowered her voice and said, "Do you think my ninth brother's mother is a fuel-saving lamp? Taking this opportunity, I will definitely make my second brother completely step out of the way."

Sure enough, Cui Shufei is determined to let her son seize the throne! If you give her some sunshine, it will shine. The ministers don't say it, but Cui Shufei is adding fuel to the flames. Everyone knows in their hearts that Xiao Zhong has become a useless person, so who else will protect King Jing?

But she hoped that Jiulang would stay well in Southwest Town and not come back to get into trouble again!

"Have a nice trip." Seeing that there was nothing more to say, Liuli saw off the guests, ignoring Xiao Ya's searching eyes.

This incident was weird and obviously smacked of revenge. However, it was not done by her. The last time Xiao Zhong said something stupid to her, she slapped him. Afterwards, she thought about taking revenge slowly, so she couldn't just let it go.

. But, she hasn’t made her move yet...

After seeing Xiao Ya off, Liuli sat quietly for a while, sorted out her inner emotions, and then returned to the main courtyard. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xiao Shiyi standing in the main courtyard, looking up at the sky with his hands behind his hands, as if waiting for her.

After a long time. When I saw her come in, I immediately smiled. In an instant, the whole courtyard felt like sunshine.

"Liu Li, come here." He stretched out his hand.

In addition to Yiqiu and Weiwei who were following her, there were also other maids in the yard. How could Liuli have the nerve to intertwine her fingers with his and hold his hands together like this. However, she couldn't let him down, so she had no choice but to walk over and reach out to hold him.

Pulling down his sleeves, "What's the matter?"

"I'll show you something good." He took Liuli and went to the study room in the west wing.

It was said to be a study, but the yard was large, the room was empty, there were three rooms, one light and two dark, with high beams and a wide area. It was basically the suite of His Highness the Prince. Liuli was pulled directly to the bedroom and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

No, he, in broad daylight, wants to...what? He can't bear it anymore, right? He can't be a gentleman anymore, right?

But soon, Liuli discovered that she was impure again. Although Xiao Shiyi took her to the bed, he showed her a small box one foot square on the bed. It was an exquisite hollow mahogany box with multicolored dragon patterns and corners.

Inlaid with gold, it is extremely luxurious. The woodware of Da Zhao is unparalleled in the world, and this one can be regarded as a high-end work of art.

"What?" A gift?

"Can't you tell if you open it and take a look?" Xiao Shishi's smile was squinting, which was actually very beautiful, but because Liuli was habitually wary of him, she always thought that smile was very treacherous.

"Don't you dare?" Seeing Liuli's delay in making a move, Xiao Shiyi squinted his eyes, full of provocation.

For some reason, since she became the "Princess Princess", Liuli's always proud calmness and composure have disappeared, and she always loses her composure in front of Xiao Shiyi. At this time, of course, she cannot give in and opens the lid of the box. However, after seeing

I looked at it, but I couldn't help but be surprised. Such an exquisite and precious box contained something inconspicuous, and could even be said to be inconspicuous.

An ordinary gold hairpin, an ugly conch, a pair of weird fur earmuffs, and a silk belt with pink embroidery on a white background. Among them, she recognized the last two. She had made them herself.

Xiao Shiyi's thank you gift was shaped like fox ears because of a prank. His embroidered tape for determining fate was placed in the snack and asked her to bite it out...

She looked at the man next to her inquiringly, but saw that he seemed very happy. He put his hand into the box and showed it to her, "This pair of earmuffs is a New Year and birthday gift you gave me. This ribbon is a commemoration of our fate.

.This conch was picked up for me by you on the beach of Dongjin Prefecture for the first time. Well..."

Liuli blinked, completely unimpressed by this golden hairpin.

"Back then, you were tricked by Wen Hongxuan, a bastard, and you fell into the water at the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. I saved your life and fished you out of the lake." Xiao Shi held the golden hairpin in the palm of his left hand.

The slender and well-jointed index finger of the right hand gently caressed her, seeming to be filled with strong affection, light pity and love.

Liuli was watching from the side, and suddenly her heart felt hot and she felt uncomfortable all over. It seemed that his hand was touching her body.

"Then what, I lost my hairpin?" Liuli scratched her neck unconsciously and asked.

Xiao Shiyi stretched out his hand and flicked Liuli's forehead, "Bad girl, I really don't remember it at all. I'm the only one who is thinking about you. Don't you care?"

"Don't tell me? Then I'm leaving." Liuli turned around and was grabbed by Xiao Shiyi as expected.

"At that time, I was suspicious of you and hadn't fallen in love with you yet. I thought you were pretending not to know how to swim, so I tried to make some innuendo. You girl immediately got angry and threw the gold hairpin into the pond where the koi fish were kept, saying that you were entering the pond.

He was in some kind of stupor state, he was as frightened as a dead man, and of course he sank directly to the bottom of the water like Jin Chai. After that, Jin Chai didn't want it anymore, and he was very angry."

Speaking of this, Liuli finally recalled, "Then, Your Highness, you actually jumped into the fish pond with your clothes on and fished out the gold hairpin, saying it was as a reward for your life-saving grace."

"Yes." Xiao Shishi nodded confidently, "Although the prince of this county is richest in the world, he still does not waste it. Although the workmanship of this hairpin is ordinary, it is also made of pure gold."

Seeing Xiao Shiyi deliberately acting greedy for money, Liuli couldn't help but smile.
