Chixi is really curious.
The accident happened so suddenly that people like him who were ready to flee at any time could not prepare sufficient expenses. Xiao Ni was almost like a prince imprisoned in a palace.
And he also heard that this unpopular prince had a hard time not only saving his own small treasury, but also having enough food on weekdays.
It is really strange to be so generous at this time.
The person who was asked was obviously stunned, and Chi Xi was even more certain that there must be something fishy in this!
Xiao Ni didn't want to hide it, but he was suddenly brought up as if it was an old thing from a previous life, and he was in a daze for a moment.
"A gift from an old friend."
He gave the answer calmly, but Chixi was not satisfied.
"Who? It looks like a lot of effort."
Xiao Ni probably didn't like people who were keen on gossiping. He frowned slightly, but after thinking of the person who gave him the gold and silver, he suddenly felt relieved and smiled.
Yes, the same rice can feed all kinds of people.
Even if they all like gossip, there are some who are not the kind to watch the excitement without taking it too seriously, or who would add insult to injury - just like the owner of the gold, jade and broken silver in his arms, Princess Danyang.
"It's quite a lot."
After Xiao Ni continued to speak, there was no need for Chi Xi to ask any more questions.
"I don't have much of anything myself. The food and drink I get along the way, as you can see, all depend on the kindness of the owners of these belongings. In fact, it doesn't hurt to tell you, but I'm afraid you won't know if I tell you, so it's better not to tell."
Before Chi Xi could complain, he added, "But you should have seen this guy before."
As he spoke, the smile on Xiao Ni's lips began to grow.
Chi Xi was keenly aware of the irony in that smile that could not be said to be self-deprecating or mocking others.
Sure enough, I heard this kid sarcastically say: "It was the banquet where you wanted to assassinate the prince, but someone got there first. Do you still remember that little man in ragged clothes who got off the boat?"
Chixi frowned suddenly when he heard the beginning. When Xiao Ni finished speaking, he opened his mouth but asked an irrelevant question without answering.
"Are you laughing at me?"
Xiao Ni, who was indulging in memories, was obviously a beat slow, and when she realized what she was doing, she couldn't help but laugh and shake her head.
"Wherever, if I want to laugh at you, I will just say so."
Chi Xi choked and stared, but because of his beast-like intuition, he understood that Xiao Ni was not telling lies and he didn't know what to say in response to the other party, so he was stunned on the spot.
After Xiao Ni smiled, he brought the topic back to where he had left off.
"That kid is actually a woman, with an innocent nature, but he is really a nosy troublemaker."
Chixi frowned, he was a little confused by Xiao Ni's inconsistent look.
"Hey, wasn't that boy, no, that girl you were so grateful for before?"
Why are you calling someone a troublemaker without even blinking an eye?
Xiao Ni laughed again, but this time she didn't explain Chi Xi's confusion, but continued talking on her own.
"That girl also loves to listen to gossip, but after hearing it, she rarely laughs like others, or joins in the ridicule and criticism."
Chi Xi just wanted to ask, is it different whether she listened or not? How could such a person like to listen to gossip?
But before he could open his mouth, he had already clarified his doubts - what he would do after hearing the gossip was to do what this girl did, so that Xiao Ni would not have to worry about eating and drinking at the moment.
Thinking of the hot and delicious food in his mouth at this moment, he smacked his lips and said rather awkwardly: "He seems to be a pretty good guy."
However, he really didn't have much impression of the person who was not the prince that day.
At most, I can still remember those banquets where one person could challenge a group of experts as soon as he made a move.
After talking about this topic, the two people suddenly returned to the same silence as the previous few days.
Because of this awkward silence, Chixi felt as if his whole body was crawling with ants.
After twisting and turning for a long time, he finally thought of what he wanted to say.
"Well, cough, what I want to say is, cough..."
After the extremely blunt beginning, Chixi simply broke the jar and threw out what was on his mind.
"I take back what I said before about you being cold-blooded and ruthless. I'm sorry."
After saying these sullen words, Chixi really didn't know what to say anymore, and didn't want to look at the people around him anymore. He turned his head as if in anger, and took another big bite of the braised pork in his hand.
Xiao Ni seemed very surprised. He stared at Chi Xi for a moment before coming back to his senses and smiling again.
"Are you talking about your comment about me leaving my mother and escaping alone?"
When he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and laughed silently.
After laughing enough and making Chi Xi laugh, Xiao Ni spoke again.
"No, no, no, what you said is not wrong. It's just a little off."
He wanted to leave that person behind. He had always thought so since he was born and could understand some truths. It was a pity that the person didn't give him this chance. As for being banished to the cold palace, that person asked for it, and he didn't even wait to do anything about it.
After sighing leisurely, Xiao Ni seemed to be sighing with emotion, but also seemed sincere. She turned to look at Chixi and gave her last advice: "When you go back to the north, really, don't get close to your master anymore. If you have If you have the chance, try to show off your skills on the battlefield, maybe you can create a new world."
Since then, on the way north, Chixi, Xiao Ni, and the driver did not say a single unnecessary word.
And their journey was difficult and painful. The journey north for Danyang mother and daughter, and for Xiao Jin, who had changed from Crown Prince to Prince Ning, was actually not easy either.
Due to the change in Xiao Jin's status, and the fact that not all of the people under his command were loyal or his own people, although there were no big storms along the way, it was really exhausting both physically and mentally, which was no worse than the days in the palace.
Danyang mother and daughter were trying their best to preserve the fetus. Fortunately, they were walking slowly and under heavy protection. Although they were snail-like, the journey to the north was uneventful.
When they finally arrived, three groups of people who had set off from the capital and took completely different paths arrived almost at the same time.
The three different roads have different twists and turns, but they can all see the vast and majestic Yanshan Mountains.
The mist halfway up the mountain and the drifting clouds that reach the top of the mountain are like a flowing golden river under the rising sun, surging like waves crashing on the shore.
The biting cold wind carves the worshipers like knives.
Standing at the shaft of the car, Danyang, who originally just came out to get some air, was stunned for a moment. He stood quietly beside the coachman for a long time, and only came to his senses after being reminded by the guard beside him.
"Girl, the wind in front of this car is too strong and too strong. Be careful if you stand for a long time, you will get headaches and cold."
Danyang turned his head and glanced at the visitor, nodded slightly, then turned around and walked back.
But when he raised his hand to lift the car curtain, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Young General Jiang is from the north? My father sent you here with other orders besides leading the way?"
