Seeing that Song Huan was deep in thought, Xiao Xuanzi immediately begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, all this slave did was because he was forced to do so!"
"What you asked me to explain, I have already told you everything I know."
"Please be noble and spare this slave!"
As he said that, he glanced at Huo Qi secretly as if he was feeling sad.
This enigmatic guard is so skilled in martial arts that he doesn’t look like an ordinary person!
If Prince Rong is in a bad mood and lets this guard chop him down, wouldn't he die without a burial place?
Song Huan stared at Xiao Xuanzi and said, "If you want me to let you go, it's not impossible."
"It's just that the task assigned to you by the Third Prince is to silence Sun Shutong with poison."
"Now that you can't complete your mission and pay your dues, the Third Prince still won't let you go."
"When the time comes, even if I spare your life, the Third Prince may not spare your life!"
As soon as Song Huan said these words, Xiao Xuanzi instantly collapsed on the ground.
He had heard about the third prince's methods.
He would rather die than return to the Third Prince and tell him that he did not successfully complete the mission!
Because he knew in his heart that if he really did this, what kind of end would be waiting for him!
But the world is so big. If I am a eunuch, where can I go if I don't go back to the palace?
Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanzi was almost crying.
"Please, the prince, take in this slave!"
"This slave is willing to stay in the palace and work as a cow and a horse for you, the prince!"
"As long as you are willing to take in your slave, I will do anything you ask me to do!"
Song Huan was a little helpless: "Why are you making oxen and horses for me?"
"I don't have such a hobby!"
"Besides, you are the person sent by Lao San. If I just keep you in the palace like this, wouldn't it be tantamount to openly opposing Lao San?"
"Inappropriate, inappropriate!"
Seeing that Prince Rong was unwilling to take him in, Xiao Xuanzi was completely desperate.
He looked at the vermilion pillar in the corner of the hall. Could it be that his final destination was to die in such a place?
Xiao Xuanzi gritted his teeth, seeming to be trying to muster up the courage.
"However," Song Huan suddenly changed the subject, "I am willing to give you a clear path."
"Perhaps, there is still an opportunity for you to survive a desperate situation!"
Song Huan's words were like a beam of light in the darkness, shining on the already desperate Xiao Xuanzi, allowing him to glimpse some light of life again!
Xiao Xuanzi's eyes instantly became extremely urgent.
"This slave is asking for advice from the prince!"
Song Huan said calmly: "You did follow the instructions of the third prince and successfully sneaked into Sun Shutong's house tonight."
"You brought the poison in front of Sun Shutong, but Sun Shutong was suddenly so stimulated that he accidentally knocked over the candlestick!"
"The fire in the bedroom spread so fast that you couldn't control it at all."
"Seeing that all the servants of the Minister's Mansion came to put out the fire, you were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so you had to retreat temporarily."
"Sun Shutong was not as lucky as you. He was burned alive in the sea of fire, leaving only a skeleton that was so burnt that it was unrecognizable..."
Having said this, Song Huan stared at Xiao Xuanzi again: "If the matter has been accomplished to this extent, you have done your best."
"No matter how difficult it is for the third prince to speak, he probably won't make things difficult for you!"
Xiao Xuanzi looked embarrassed.
"My lord, the method you mentioned is not impossible, it's just..."
"You want to see people alive, but you want to see corpses when you're dead!"
"What's more, Mr. Sun is an official of the imperial court. If he dies, he will definitely alarm Long Live Lord!"
"What if we don't see the body by then..."
In this way, what I have committed is the crime of deceiving the emperor!
At that time, it will not be a question of whether the third prince will forgive him or not. I am afraid that the long live master will also take his own head out of anger!
Song Huan glared at Xiao Xuanzi, seeming to dislike his stupidity.
"There are many corpses of beggars piled up in mass graves in the northern suburbs."
"This year's severe cold has caused countless beggars to freeze to death."
"Can't you just find a corpse to make up the numbers?"
"Sun Shutong is already a madman anyway. Who would delve into the specific cause of death of a madman?"
After hearing this, Xiao Xuanzi's eyes finally lit up again.
"Excuse me for being stupid!"
"My lord, why didn't this servant think of the method you mentioned?"
In this way, he would not offend Prince Rong, but at the same time be able to communicate with the Third Prince. It was a good thing that had the best of both worlds!
Prince Rong is really thoughtful and terrifying!
No wonder the third prince racked his brains and tossed and turned at night, trying his best to deal with Prince Rong!
Seeing Xiao Xuanzi's face full of ecstasy, Song Huan said quietly: "It's a long way to the northern suburbs. You've calculated everything. You only have three hours."
Xiao Xuanzi woke up from a dream and immediately kowtowed to Song Huan several times.
"Your Majesty's life-saving grace today will never be forgotten by this servant in this lifetime!"
"If there is any place where the prince can use his slave, he will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Slave, please retire first!"
After Xiao Xuanzi rushed out of the palace in a hurry, Huo Qi, who had been waiting beside him, finally couldn't help but laugh softly.
Song Huan rolled his eyes at Huo Qi: "What are you laughing at?"
Huo Qi tried his best to hold back his smile: "His Highness obviously wants to keep Sun Shutong, but if he tells the little eunuch directly, the little eunuch may not be so willing."
"But to put it another way, the little eunuch thinks that you, Your Highness, managed to save his life, and he will definitely be grateful to you."
"When I go back, I will never mention this matter!"
"My subordinate is laughing because I think His Highness's move is brilliant. I really admire him!"
Song Huan snorted coldly: "Men in love are indeed different. They talk too much and talk too much, and now they have learned how to make me happy."
Huo Qi's face turned red and he immediately changed the subject: "Then..."
"Your Highness, what do you plan to do with Sun Shutong?"
"He is completely crazy now. No matter what questions are asked to him, he goes back and forth and only knows a few fixed words to answer!"
"It's useless to keep him around."
Song Huan shook his head.
"Madness is also a disease."
"As long as it is a disease, there is medicine to cure it."
"If the top miraculous doctor in Daliang takes action to restore his sanity, there should still be some possibility."
Huo Qi naturally understood who the top miracle doctor Song Huan was talking about. Since Song Huan already had an idea in his mind, he didn't say anything more.
"By the way, Your Highness, are you going to go to An Ning in three days?"
Song Huan nodded: "It will take at least half a month to go back and forth."
"Now that you have a bond, you can stay in the capital and don't have to go with me."
When Huo Qi heard this, he shook his head extremely seriously.
"His Highness gave me a few days of grace so that I could settle down with Qiu Ya. I am already grateful."
"It's a long and high road to Mount Anning. It's impossible for my subordinates not to go!"
"Even if Your Highness refuses, my subordinates will protect you secretly!"
