After going out alone and then coming back, Xiao Jiuan suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity as he looked at the strange yet familiar door.
After Xiao Jiuan got off his horse, he did not rush in. Instead, he stood at the foot of the steps and waited for a few breaths before shaking his head and walking inside.
"My lord, what's going on?"
"Why do you feel that Your Majesty is acting strange today?"
"Is there really no problem, Your Majesty?"
…
The personal guards followed behind and did not dare to cross Xiao Jiu'an. They did not follow him until Xiao Jiu'an stepped into the threshold.
After following the prince for so many years, this was the first time they discovered that it was not unusual for the prince to hesitate.
"It's a pity that I didn't dare to ask. I really want to know the reason." The guards usually have serious faces, but in fact they are also curious, such as this moment.
However, the master they were with made them afraid to show it even if they were curious.
After Xiao Jiuan entered the mansion, the first thing he asked was: "Where is the princess?"
After asking, Xiao Jiuan kept walking and walked directly towards the main courtyard. However, the servant's answer stopped him in his tracks: "The princess has gone to the palace."
"What? Go to Prince Duan's Mansion?" Xiao Jiu'an's tone changed, and the servant who was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said tremblingly: "Return to the prince, yes, yes."
"Did you say when will you come back?" I felt inexplicably irritated and had an urge to kill someone, but...
Xiao Jiuan still suppressed it.
This is not a battlefield, and the people in front of him are not his enemies. He cannot kill people casually.
"King, the princess didn't say anything." The servant who replied was about to cry. He knelt on the ground and shrank, not daring to look at Xiao Jiu'an.
Xiao Jiuan was too lazy to pay attention to her and ordered: "Have someone go to Prince Duan's Mansion to tell the princess that I am back."
"Yes, yes..." The servant who replied almost crawled out and ran out, not daring to waste even a moment.
Xiao Jiuan rubbed his eyebrows, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and strode towards the main courtyard.
Thinking that Ji Yunkai would come over later, Xiao Jiuan's mood improved slightly and he was not as irritable as before.
Taking out the orchid golden step that was wrapped in soft cloth and placed in his arms, the expression on Xiao Jiuan's face softened a lot. He carefully placed the golden step in front of the dressing table and adjusted it several times before Xiao Jiuan stopped with satisfaction.
.
He remembered that Ji Yunkai liked orchids very much, and she would definitely be happy when she saw this step.
Thinking of Ji Yun's smiling face, Xiao Jiuan's irritable mood disappeared: "Come here, prepare water."
This is not the Yanbei Palace, and there is no private bath for Xiao Jiuan. Although the servants have tried their best, Xiao Jiuan is still very unhappy sitting in the small bathtub, and the violent factor that has just been suppressed is faintly emerging.
idea.
This is Xiao Jiu'an, a violent and arrogant man. He has a very bad temper and has the urge to kill and be violent and bloodthirsty at any time. Over the years, he has been forcing himself to change, but with little effect, but on the surface, no one can
See his true nature.
Now, when he returned to his temporary residence, he didn't see the person he was supposed to see. The rage in his heart seemed to be uncontrollable...
Fortunately, fortunately, this is the place where Ji Yunkai lived, and there is still Ji Yunkai's aura.
Returning to the master bedroom, smelling the familiar aroma, Xiao Jiuan finally calmed down.
"Sure enough, you were born to belong to me." Xiao Jiu'an sat on the imperial concubine's couch where Ji Yunkai usually sat, holding the book Ji Yunkai usually read in his hand, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
According to his past habits, once he has violent thoughts of murder and bloodlust in his heart, he must see blood. Only after seeing enough blood can he calm down, but...
Not today. He successfully suppressed the violence in his heart. He didn't go crazy like before and calmed down easily.
Sitting on the low couch, Xiao Jiuan became calmer and calmer, and began to look through the book in his hand. At first, he just flipped through it casually, but soon Xiao Jiuan became fascinated. This reading...
After reading the entire book, the sky became dark, but Ji Yunkai hadn't come back yet.
Xiao Jiuan frowned slightly, put down the book at hand, stood up and walked out.
There was no one waiting outside the house. It was deserted and deserted. Even Xiao Jiuan, who was used to the loneliness, was a little dissatisfied at this moment.
He wanted to find someone to question, but found that there was no one at all?
"Where is the person? Come out!" The coldness and darkness outside the house affected Xiao Jiuan's mood.
At this time, although he was not arrogant, his tone was definitely not much better.
"Your Majesty." There were no outsiders in the front yard, so the secret guard had no choice but to stand out.
God knows, the moment the prince put down the book, they went to notify the personal guards to come over, but...
Those bastards pretended not to have heard and refused to come over. They were simply shameless.
"Where is the princess?" This is the question that Xiao Jiuan is most concerned about.
"Uh..." The secret guard looked hesitant, not knowing how to answer in order to escape safely.
"Where is the princess?" Xiao Jiuan asked again impatiently. The secret guard was startled and did not dare to think more. He quickly replied: "The princess is still in charge of the palace and has not come back."
No surprise, Xiao Jiuan frowned, and the cold air overflowed from his body, adding another chill to the winter snow day. The secret guard resisted the urge to shiver and tried to stand up straight.
"Did the princess say when she would be back?" Xiao Jiuan took a breath and asked.
The secret guards really didn't want to answer, but they knew very well that if they didn't tell them, there would be no good end. With no choice, the secret guards could only bite the bullet and said: "The princess said, the princess said... I won't come back until after dinner."
The secret guard spoke quickly and urgently, for fear that if he spoke a step too late, he would lose the courage to speak.
God knows, after this news came, all the servants in the house, including the personal guards, hid in their rooms. No one dared to come out without fear of death. Only the secret guards like them were unlucky enough to escape.
"Have you had dinner? What delicacies are there in Prince Duan's Mansion that will make the princess feel homesick?" Xiao Jiu'an said through gritted teeth. The secret guard seemed to be able to feel that the resentment of their prince had turned into reality and wanted to cut them into pieces.
The secret guard staggered back and barely stood firm, but did not dare to speak. He just lowered his head and stood in front of Xiao Jiu'an honestly.
According to past experience, this distance is the safest. Even if the prince is at odds with someone, no, he is upset and wants to hit someone, there is no way to hit him immediately, and he may still escape.
Although escaping at this time is a bit cowardly and is not what a qualified secret guard should do, but neglecting one's duties is better than being beaten to a semi-crippled state by the prince, right?
The secret guard seemed to be standing in front of Xiao Jiuan honestly, but in fact he had been paying careful attention to Xiao Jiuan's movements. As soon as Xiao Jiuan made any move, he would run away immediately... (To be continued)
