Walking along a winding path, there are dense bamboo forests on both sides. Whenever the wind blows, the bamboo leaves rub against each other and make a "rustling" sound.
At the end of the road is a thatched house.
Beautiful music came from the house.
"Wait for me here, I'll go and inform His Highness the Crown Prince."
The maid entered the room.
After a while, he came out and said, "I've kept Miss Xu waiting for a long time. Please come over here."
Go around the two bronze tripods and come to a screen.
The screen is painted with patterns such as Feitian, Bodhisattva, four mythical beasts, and four ferocious beasts, which are chaotic but not complicated, and have a unique flavor.
"Your Highness, Miss Xu is here."
"Okay, you go out."
The sound is clear, as if it is not stained by a trace of dust.
The maid withdrew.
"Xu Zhiyun, the daughter of the prime minister, joins His Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need to be polite, just sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
sit down.
"Did you beat Princess Jiahui today?"
From what he said, she must be blamed.
One person should do the work and the other should be responsible, and Ma Liaozi and Chang Xiu cannot be dragged into the water.
So he said with a firm voice: "Yes."
The prince said nothing.
Neither did Xu Zhiyun.
After a brief silence, Xu Zhiyun spoke first: "If your highness wants to punish, just punish me, because I am the only one who did it."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Hearty laughter came from behind the screen.
"Zhiyun is stupid, may I ask why His Highness the Crown Prince is laughing?"
The laughter stopped abruptly.
"Jiahui has been so difficult and unreasonable since she was a child. No one can control her. You are the first person who can make her look embarrassed."
He said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, you are so complimentary."
"There is no need to say polite words. It will be my father's birthday in seven days. I would like to take you to see my father together and ask you to write a poem for him. I wonder if you are willing?"
"I'm willing, it's a great honor for Zhiyun."
"That's very good. In seven days, we will send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick you up. If there is nothing else, you can leave."
"Yes, Zhiyun resigned."
He stood up, saluted again, and left.
His Royal Highness behind the screen raised his lips, "Interesting, what an interesting little girl."
.
Seeing Xu Zhiyun coming out, Ma Yongzi rushed over and circled the former a few times to check if he had any skin injuries: "Yun Yunzi, you are finally back, you worry me to death! How is it? That prince Your Highness didn't make things difficult for you, right? If he did, I would beat him!"
"No, no." He shook his hand. This little sparrow was really noisy.
He raised his hand and patted the sparrow on the head: "On your side, your mind is full of fighting and killing. Can you think of something else?"
Ma Yongzi scratched the back of his head and giggled: "Hehehe, I'm not worried about you. I'll just learn more other things in the future."
"Little beauty, what did you and the prince talk about?" Chang Xiu started gossiping.
"It's nothing. The Holy Father's birthday will be in seven days. He took me to write a poem for the Holy One."
"Let me have a guess. Did the little beauty agree?"
Xu Zhiyun did not hesitate to praise him: "Smart!"
"You!" The fan tapped Xu Zhiyun's head lightly.
"Why did you hit me on the head?" Xu Zhiyun looked confused and rubbed his head, "It hurts a lot, okay?"
"Subconsciously. I'm sorry, little beauty."
Xu Zhiyun: "..." Haha, subconscious, so subconscious.
Chang Xiu became serious: "You have to be careful when meeting the Holy Spirit, you know?"
"You don't need to remind me."
After observing his fate, Ma Qiaozi's expression changed: "Yun Yunzi, something bad is going on. You can't go to see the Holy Spirit!"
"Will I die?" Xu Zhiyun asked.
"No, but he will be seriously injured. Can you..."
"There is no need to say more. A gentleman's words are hard to follow. Since I have made a promise to His Highness, I cannot break my promise."
"Little beauty, I will protect you."
"The sparrow can do it too!" The sparrow patted his chest.
The next moment, a hoarse voice reached their ears: "The water has leaked, the water has leaked, please come quickly, His Royal Highness's house has flooded."
not good! Someone is trying to frame her!
Because she was the only one who had been to the prince's house just now.
Xu Zhiyun secretly thought something was wrong.
Only by rescuing the prince from the sea of fire can she have a chance of survival.
"I'll go take a look. You guys wait for me here."
After saying that, Xu Zhiyun ran towards the direction of the prince's house.
When the palace maid saw Xu Zhiyun gone, she stopped shouting and walked furtively towards a path.
Chang Xiu saw it.
"Immortal Lord, we should..." What should we do?
Turning around, Chang Xiu had disappeared.
The Immortal Lord is truly enigmatic.
The sparrow praised in his heart.
.
When we arrived, the house was intact and there were no signs of being burned at all.
A big net suddenly fell from the sky. Xu Zhiyun had no time to dodge and was covered.
Dozens of secret guards and the annoying Princess Jiahui walked out from behind the tree.
"The bold thief actually intends to murder the prince's brother!"
"I'm not a thief!" Xu Zhiyun raised his head, and when he saw that the leader was Princess Jiahui, he shut up and said nothing.
Princess Jiahui snorted coldly: "Not a thief? Then how do you explain the fire folds thrown into the bronze tripod and your footprints? That is the back door of the house. No one is allowed to enter. How did you get in?"
It was the palace maid who took her in! There's something wrong with that palace maid!
Only then did I realize that it was too late.
"I guessed that the thief would definitely return to the scene, so I asked the palace maid to lie about cheating. Unexpectedly, you took the bait." Princess Jiahui swaggered to the net and leaned over, "Let's settle old and new scores together. I want to You must die a good death!"
He stood up straight and said: "Come here, capture her and put her in prison. When will she be executed? The Holy One will decide."
In this way, Xu Zhiyun was arrested and put in prison.
.
The prison was damp and dark. When I stepped in, I heard someone saying: "Another innocent good man has been imprisoned. The Dog Emperor will be finished sooner or later!"
The man was dragged out and beaten with wattle sticks by several jailors.
The man's body quickly became dripping with blood, but he was not afraid at all: "Hahahaha, it's so happy, so happy. You beat me like this because you are afraid that I will continue to scold that dog emperor. I won't do what you want!"
The man cursed the "dog emperor" nearly a hundred times and finally died under the thorns.
The death was so miserable that Xu Zhiyun turned his head to one side and couldn't bear to look directly at it.
"Go in!" The jailer roughly pushed Xu Zhiyun into a cell. Xu Zhiyun fell to the ground, the skin on his knees was broken, and bloodshot eyes were looming.
.
"The little beauty has been imprisoned." Chang Xiu found Ma Qiaozi and shared this information with her.
"What? What? What?" Sparrow couldn't believe his ears, "It's impossible! I don't believe it!"
Chang Xiu looked calm: "This is a fact."
"Then go and save her quickly. I really don't want to see Yun Yunzi suffer!" Ma Qiaozi was so anxious that she almost cried.
"If you act rashly, something will happen. I have a plan."
"What's the clever idea?" Sparrow asked.
