Xiao Yan was used to Danyang confronting him. When he was first attacked, he didn't fully react before he responded:
"Then I often go to Fengyi Palace, why don't you follow me?"
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, the entire Lixiang Garden is sealed off now! How did you get in?"
Danyang looked at him coldly as if he were looking at a fool, and said indifferently:
"Of course I came on orders."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately broke out in a layer of cold sweat on his back, not even a trace of it leaking on his face.
Holding on to a stiff smile, he quickly walked towards Danyang and asked again hastily:
"Speak clearly. Why would my father let you come to a place like this? Where are the documents or tokens? Don't try to lie to me and use a few words to fool me!"
Danyang sneered when he heard this.
"Why should I show it to you? Are you the guard here? By the way, I heard that you are ordered to investigate the case today and bring so many people to the closed theater to investigate the case? Ha, you are really capable."
How could Xiao Yan not understand the underlying meaning?
She was simply laughing at him and only took the credit from others!
"You! You little girl, what do you know?!"
How can he tell the truth about the twists and turns that he went through so much trouble to get here in front of everyone?
After being teased and robbed by Danyang, he just couldn't retaliate. Xiao Yan was so aggrieved that after just a few breaths, his whole face turned purple.
Due to Xiao Yan's approach, Anyang Prince Xiao Yan had already completely hidden behind Danyang. At this moment, the Seventh Prince Xiao Ni also roughly recovered and staggered to their side.
"Third brother, Princess Danyang, what are you doing?"
The seventh prince, with his red eyes and handsome appearance, was as lovable as a docile little rabbit at this moment.
But neither Danyang nor the third prince Xiao Yan, who was accustomed to seeing this, turned a blind eye to this and only engaged in a tense confrontation. No one paid any attention to Xiao Ni.
On the contrary, Xiao Ren, who was hiding behind Danyang, immediately poked his head out when he heard the familiar and sweet voice that warmed his heart. He tried his best to open his eyes that had not fully recovered his vision and looked at Xiao Ni.
"Is His Majesty Seventh Prince okay?"
While saying this, Xiao Ren pulled Xiao Ni behind Danyang and whispered in his ear:
"Don't wade into this muddy water."
Because he was grateful to Xiao Ni for coming forward again and again, Xiao Ren didn't want him to be used as a punching bag by Xiao Yan again.
really.
After Xiao Yan gasped and kicked for a few times, he raised his foot and kicked the drum stool aside. He pointed at Danyang's nose and said angrily:
"Don't be arrogant! If you can't produce the token, you will be the biggest suspect! I will escort you and the coward behind you to the palace to recover. Maybe you are the assassin who sent you to do something evil!"
"Aha?"
Danyang didn't even bother to refute this time. He smiled disdainfully, turned his head and raised his voice to the imperial guards behind Xiao Yan:
"Other than this useless prince, who among you can give the order?"
The young leader of the Royal Forest Army was stern when he heard this, and he was very reluctant to be caught between the furious third prince and the "notorious" Princess Danyang. Especially, under this current situation.
He held on to the idea of delaying it for a moment, and gritted his teeth. When he didn't hear, someone behind Princess Danyang answered:
"I wonder, Princess, what do you want to do?"
Danyang turned his head and glanced at the seventh prince Xiao Ni who spoke out. After a brief pause, he nodded and said bluntly:
"Please do it for me. When my seventh cousin enters the palace later, please help me bring a message to my uncle. Danyang has washed the dust of my grandmother's Jade Guanyin and put incense on it. I'm sorry that Danyang has something urgent to do today. It will be arranged another day. Come into the palace again to thank me and receive the reward. Thank you very much."
After thanking Xiao Ni at the end, Danyang glanced at Xiao Yan coldly, then turned around and said to Xiao Ren, who was huddled behind her:
"Your Majesty, please be patient for a while longer. God's law is clear and you will not be allowed to suffer injustice and humiliation forever."
As he said that, he lifted the other person's hand that still refused to let go and said with a smile:
"It seems that Your Majesty is a little too frightened. I will send you back to the carriage to have a rest. I will find someone to take you back to the palace later."
When he heard that he could return to Zongzheng Temple and escape from Xiao Yan, Xiao Ren was so happy that tears filled his eyes. He almost immediately picked up Danyang and wanted to go straight to the door.
"Wait a minute! Xiao Ren is my prisoner! How can you just say he will be sent back?"
Danyang didn't even look back, he just walked out and replied calmly:
"I heard from the emperor's uncle yesterday that the prince has not been convicted yet. Now he is only helping to solve the case. If he is even slightly suspected, when will he become a criminal? Also, before I came here today, I heard from my uncle that although the prince is suspected, But the evidence is insufficient, and I am frightened by the involvement of this matter. The old ministers have reported it, and when the matter calms down, he can be officially canonized as king. But if something goes wrong at this time..."
Although the words are not complete, there is more than enough meaning.
The prince of Anyang is sitting in a very wealthy fiefdom. If something goes wrong when he is about to inherit the title of king.
Not to mention whether the people involved did it intentionally or unintentionally, as long as there is interest involved, it will be speculated by many parties afterwards.
Not to mention, Xiao Yan, the third prince who is currently favored by the Holy Spirit, is the likely actual beneficiary of being named queen and enjoying the fiefdom.
Xiao Yan may be slow in other matters, but when it comes to matters related to rumors, he is always more sensitive than others. When he hears the words, he takes a step back vigilantly and subconsciously talks to Xiao Yan. Ren distanced himself.
Although his goal was the crown prince and the throne in the Jinluan Palace in the future, he didn't even set his sights on Xiao Ren's fat and oily fiefdom.
But unfortunately, he has not yet achieved any of his goals. He has to be more careful about his reputation and prestige among his ministers, not to leave too many flaws.
Upon thinking of this, Xiao Yan immediately made up his mind and gave up the idea of questioning Xiao Ren. And at the next moment, he waved his hand generously and let him go:
"He is also a hindrance here. Come and send people back to Zongzheng Temple."
After hearing this, Danyang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Xiao Yan could figure it out on her own and it would be best to send him back, otherwise she would have to spend a lot of effort to dig him out of this bastard's hands.
The Seventh Prince Xiao Niyin was dragged by Xiao Ren's arm, so he was following Princess Danyang as he hurriedly left the Lixiang Garden. And along the way, his eyes never left Princess Danyang's back, and his eyes were always obscure and complicated.
When it was time to get on the carriage, Danyang realized that he had brought more than one "tail" with him.
She tilted her head slightly, blinked, looked at Xiao Ni in confusion and asked:
"Seventh cousin, are you going back to the palace with the Crown Prince?"
Although it is not impossible, most people are taboo about riding in a prison car, right? Even a prison van in pretty good condition.
Xiao Ni had already restored her bright smile before Danyang turned around.
At this time, upon hearing such a question, he only smiled gently and turned to look at Xiao Ren.
"I wonder if I am lucky enough to be able to travel with the Crown Prince?"
