Of course Xiao Ji remembered what happened last night. Fu Yuanxiao spoke to the air. He saw it with his own eyes, and it was similar to the rumors.
He thought it was just Fu Yuanxiao's crazy talk, but he didn't expect that she would come back with two people.
He glanced at the two dirty beggars behind her again, "What are their names?"
Fu Yuanxiao said: "Tian Zhi and Tian Xiaohua are consistent with what Tian Xiao'e said. I am not wrong."
Surprise flashed in Xiao Ji's eyes when he heard this. All three of them were named Tian. Is it a coincidence or... He looked at the innocent Fu Yuanxiao. Was everything she said to the air last night true?
Then why didn't he see Tian Xiao'e?
Who is Tian Xiao'e?
After separating from Fu Yuanxiao, Xiao Ji ordered: "Go and find out where the servants from last night and the four dead people are from and what their relationship is, as well as Tian Xiao'e."
"It's the prince." Xu Yan took the order and went to the north wing to interrogate the servant named He Zhuang last night.
Later, people were sent to Shilipo to investigate Tian Xiao'e's family.
After all the investigations were completed, it was already afternoon. Xu Yan opened the study door and walked in. He looked at Xiao Ji who was sitting in front of the desk and bowed to report.
"Your Majesty has investigated clearly. The servants last night and the four who died before are from Qinghe Village. They usually idle around and do not do their jobs. They were also recruited into the mansion by the same group. There is a family named Tian in Qinghe Village, and there are five people in total. Tian Xiao'e and her parents died half a year ago, leaving only her younger siblings named Tian Zhi and Tian Xiaohua."
Xiao Ji was shocked after hearing this. What Fu Yuanxiao said last night was not crazy talk, but the truth.
Xu Yan was asked to inquire about the news before, and he also said that Fu Yuanxiao was stupid and sometimes crazy, and always said there was a ghost.
So, although Fu Yuanxiao is stupid, he can indeed see things that others cannot?
After thinking about this, Xiao Ji still felt a little incredible.
"Send He Zhuang to the government and explain the reason."
"It's the prince." Xu Yan exited.
Xiao Ji thought for a moment, then got up and went to Chu Yuwan.
Fu Yuanxiao looked at Tian Zhi and Tian Xiaohua, brothers and sisters. They had just taken a bath and changed into new clothes. They were much cleaner and tidier.
She's not bad looking, but a little too thin.
Tian Zhi is one year younger than Fu Yuanxiao, and because he is a boy, he is much taller than Fu Yuanxiao.
The young man stood in front of Fu Yuanxiao at a loss. He had never seen such a beautiful girl, and his fair cheeks were slightly red.
Fu Yuanxiao was very satisfied with their outfits.
"Today is New Year's Eve. You brothers and sisters will stay in the palace until the second day of the new year. You will follow me back to your parents' home."
Tian Xiaohua was still a child and didn't understand the explanation. She turned to look at Tian Zhi, "Brother?"
Tian Zhi glanced down at his sister, pursed his lips, and raised his head to look at Fu Yuanxiao, "Princess, can we stay in the palace? I can do any kind of work, and there are some who do heavy work."
Fu Yuanxiao laughed out loud when he heard this, "Are you stupid? What can you do if you stay in the palace? My father is a businessman and owns many shops and properties. You can learn some useful things from him instead of following me. good."
When Xiao Ji walked into the yard, he saw Fu Yuanxiao smiling so sweetly at other boys.
He was just a stranger, so the little fool smiled at him.
Have you ever smiled at him like this before?
He walked over sullenly.
Tian Zhi was a little hesitant when he heard this, but when he thought about Fu Yuanxiao saving him and providing food and drink to his brother and sister, he no longer hesitated.
"I still want to follow the princess."
Xiao Ji's eyes darkened a bit when he heard this. When he looked at Fu Yuanxiao, he was immediately replaced by tenderness, "Xiao'er."
When Fu Yuanxiao saw Xiao Ji coming, her peach blossom eyes narrowed, "Husband, you are here."
Xiao Ji glanced at Tian Zhi coldly, "What are you doing with the princess?"
Tian Zhi raised his head and saw Xiao Ji. Thinking that he was the prince, he pulled his sister to kneel down and salute.
Tian Xiaohua is young, so she will kneel down when her elder brother asks her to.
"Your Majesty, it was the princess who saved our brothers and sisters. I should follow the princess so that I can repay the favor of saving my life."
Xiao Ji gave a sneer, "What do you know?"
Tian Zhidao: "I can chop wood, carry water, and farm."
Xiao Ji said: "The princess doesn't lack any of these."
Tian Zhi was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he only knew these things, but the princess was not lacking.
He pursed his lips and said, "I can't do anything else, but I can learn it."
Seeing that he didn't give up, Xiao Ji asked again: "What do you want to learn?"
Tian Zhi thought for a while and said firmly: "I want to protect the princess."
Xiao Ji seemed to have heard some joke and wanted to protect his princess?
My princess, is it your turn to protect me?
He suddenly thought of a way and raised the corners of his lips, "If you want to protect the princess, you have to learn martial arts first. Can you do it?"
Tian Zhi nodded upon hearing this, "I can do it."
Fu Yuanxiao couldn't bear it and reminded: "Why do you want to learn martial arts? Learning martial arts is very tiring and hard, why not learn some accounting skills and become an accountant in the future, isn't it better than learning martial arts?"
Xiao Ji lowered his eyes and looked at her. Do you like to be nosy so much?
Tian Zhi looked at Fu Yuanxiao and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness. I am determined."
Xiao Ji didn't wait for Fu Yuanxiao to speak, and said, "Then clean up and let Xu Yan take you there."
Tian Zhi was a little surprised, "Are you going now?"
Fu Yuanxiao tugged on Xiao Ji's sleeve and reminded her warmly: "Husband, today is New Year's Eve."
Xiao Ji glanced at Fu Yuanxiao, and then looked at Tian Zhi again: "Of course, don't you want to protect the princess? If you go early, you will come back early."
Tian Zhi thought about it, gritted his teeth and agreed.
"I'll go clean it up right away."
When Tian Xiaohua learned that her brother was leaving, she was a little reluctant, "Brother."
Tian Zhi led his sister and told him as they walked: "In the future, when my eldest brother is not around, you have to take good care of yourself and be smart. Don't be lazy, you know?"
Tian Xiaohua said: "I understand, brother."
Xiao Ji withdrew his gaze and looked at Fu Yuanxiao, "Xiao'er."
Fu Yuanxiao raised his head and looked at Xiao Ji, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Ji thought of what happened last night, "How did you see Tian Xiao'e?"
Fu Yuanxiao said: "Since I was six years old, I have been able to see things that others cannot see. I don't know why I suddenly saw them."
Xiao Ji looked at her beautiful peach blossom eyes, which were clearer and brighter than ordinary people's eyes, and there was nothing unusual about her.
It is these eyes that can see things that others cannot.
"You're going to the palace for a family dinner tonight. You remember to shower and change clothes early. You can't wear normal clothes. Do you understand?"
Fu Yuanxiao nodded, "I understand."
Xiao Ji took a deep look at Fu Yuanxiao before leaving.
After Tian Zhi packed up, he was taken out of the palace by Xu Yan and got into a carriage.
In the carriage, Tian Zhi lifted the curtain and looked at the palace getting further and further away. He felt a little melancholy and became more determined in his choice.
It’s time to hold the lamp.
Fu Yuanxiao bathed and changed clothes under Baozhu's attendance.
When entering the palace for a family banquet, you must wear attire befitting a princess.
