In the palace, in a remote courtyard.
Yang Dong hugged Qingyang and listened to her talk about many things from her childhood.
The only princess of the Zhou Dynasty seemed to have no friends since she was a child.
In Yang Dong's arms, she was as excited as a child.
"So... no matter when you leave, I will understand you!"
"Of course, I would be happier if you were willing to come and accompany me occasionally!"
"By the way, I don't know your name yet. My name is Ji Siyu, and I am the princess of Da Zhou. What about you?"
"I...my name is Yang Dong."
Yang Dong opened his mouth, hesitated, and then reported his real name.
"I am the chief chamberlain, and I am also your Majesty's servant."
"You are the emperor's brother."
Ji Siyu's eyebrows stretched and she put on a happy smile.
"Great, so you can come and see me more."
"But... you'd better come less often, I'm afraid you will die."
"The little bird was killed by a piece of wood falling from the roof because he was too close to me..."
Speaking of this, a sad look flashed across Ji Siyu's cheeks.
But just for a moment, her smile returned.
"But later, I buried the little bird in the imperial garden, and also buried a lot of delicious food for it. Every year during the Qingming Festival, I would also burn some food for it. I think it would be very happy there. Be happy."
"After all, my father and mother will also help me take care of it!"
Yang Dong pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily.
"Yes, Xiaoque should live happily in another world."
"By the way, princess. Have you offended anyone recently?"
"Offend others?"
Ji Siyu's eyebrows were tangled together and she thought for a long time.
"Everyone else is afraid to avoid me when they see me. Except for grandma who delivers meals every day, I have only seen you in the past ten years."
"That's it."
Yang Dong nodded slightly, but his mind began to think about what happened last night.
Looking back now, it seems full of mystery.
First of all, was the person who poisoned the empress last night the man in black?
If so, why did the palace maid named Taoer commit suicide?
But if not...
Why did she appear in the palace late at night?
Obviously, the person who poisoned the empress last night should be the man in black.
But he had already poisoned the empress, so why did he come to Qingyang again?
Even if you want to kill them all, it may not be necessary. People like Qingyang are completely harmless to humans and animals. There is no need for the other party to take the risk of possible exposure and come here specifically.
And...did the man in black lure him here on purpose last night?
One mystery after another gave Yang Dong a headache. At this moment, he felt like he had no idea where to start.
"Yang Dong, what are you thinking about?"
"ah?"
Yang Dong looked slightly startled, then came back to his senses and smiled softly.
"Nothing, just thinking about what happened last night."
Hearing this, Ji Siyu immediately glanced at Zhen Shou, a blush appearing on her pretty face again.
"Well, you misunderstood. I was referring to the bad guy last night."
Yang Dong immediately opened his mouth to explain, but his explanation made Ji Siyu even more embarrassed and angry.
"you……"
"Ignore you! Bad guy!"
"Bang bang bang!"
A harsh knock on the door came from outside the courtyard.
"Princess, come out quickly and get the food!"
"Speed up, or I'll leave!"
The grandma outside the door spoke in an extremely arrogant tone.
When Yang Dong heard this, a trace of anger flashed across his brows. He was about to stand up, but was gently pressed down by Ji Siyu's small jade hand.
"That's the kind of character Mammy has, don't mind it."
As she said this, she immediately got up from Yang Dong's arms and trotted to the door.
"Mother Feng, I heard it. Just leave it at the door. By the way, can you please bring me another one? I have some..."
"Ouch! Why are you so close!"
The voice of the nanny outside the door suddenly became frightened. She took several steps back and complained:
"Unlucky, really unlucky!"
"Princess, this is just the meal, no more. Enjoy it!"
After saying that, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
A touch of disappointment appeared on Ji Siyu's thin cheeks. But when she picked up the lunch box, her smile returned to her bright smile.
"Wow, there are two dishes today!"
"Yang Dong, would you like to have dinner with me?"
Ji Siyu said, taking out a bowl of rice porridge with clear soup and little water from the lunch box.
Then he carefully took out two plates as big as wine glasses. There was a portion of green vegetables and a portion of pickles on the plate.
Even if it is said to be scraps, it is not an exaggeration.
Because Yang Dong clearly saw that the surface of the pickles had long shriveled, completely different from the state when they were fresh.
"Do you eat this every day?"
Yang Dong's tone was a little gloomy, and he clenched his fists silently.
"Yeah, that's it."
Ji Siyu nodded and continued:
“Don’t worry, this dish is a bit cold, but when paired with hot pancakes, it has a unique flavor!”
"Here, I'll roll one for you and you can try it!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her little jade hand and picked up a steaming pancake from the lunch box.
Then he carefully picked up the chopsticks and picked up some green vegetables and some pickles among them.
Then he carefully rolled up the cooking cake and handed it to Yang Dong.
"Try it, it's really delicious!"
Yang Dong took a bite of the cooking cake, and then started chewing it.
In fact, this cooking cake is not delicious at all, and the green vegetables even have a hint of rotten taste.
But this time, he ate very seriously.
Seeing how serious he was, a small trace of pride could not help but appear on Ji Siyu's thin cheeks.
She raised Xiaoyu's hand and wanted to roll one for herself. But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Yang Dong grabbed it.
"Come with me, I'll take you to eat something else."
"But……"
A look of expectation appeared on Ji Siyu's cheeks. But it turned into hesitation and rejection in an instant.
She rarely leaves the palace, because every time she leaves the palace, she will encounter great danger.
Either for yourself or for others.
"Forget it, we still won't go out."
Ji Siyu shook his head, but his thin cheeks were filled with determination.
"I don't want to cause trouble for others, and I don't want to cause trouble for you."
"Stay here well, I'm very satisfied!"
"Then wait for me!"
Yang Dong said, immediately stood up and walked towards the door.
He was thinking about going to the imperial dining room to find some delicious food for Ji Siyu, but he happened to see the spy coming to deliver food to Wan Yanyue.
"You, leave these meals to me."
"Also, go to the imperial dining room and deliver a copy. Just leave it outside the door."
When the secret agent heard this, his body suddenly stiffened.
Then he looked at Yang Dong, his eyes filled with admiration!
As expected, Mr. Yang is Mr. Yang. He doesn’t have that kind of work, but he still makes Princess Jin obey her.
I'm waiting, Yang Gong is far away!
Some people died, but not completely...
