Fifteen years old, the age for ancient women to have hairpins, they can talk about marriage and take charge of the middle class. Of course, they have the basic ability to distinguish right from wrong, so there are some things that Lou Jinhuan does not need to say, she can feel it herself.
But she has no ability and can't help her brother. She can only stay in one place peacefully and not cause trouble for him. The rest is whatever her brother says.
She didn't expect to be suddenly involved in these fights. She was a little panicked, but she didn't show it.
She carefully looked at Lou Jinhuan and said in a low voice, "Do you mean you can let me come in and out at will?"
"Of course, you can come in and out of the Imperial Master's Mansion at will, but it's best to take the snow-clad guards with you when you go out to avoid being captured again."
Lou Jinhuan stood with his hands behind his back, his emotions not ups and downs.
Xiao Ning pursed her lips and said, "Then you are no different from the people before you."
She lowered her eyes and hugged herself tightly silently.
"It doesn't matter if you think so, but you are here with me and you can contact your brother casually."
Lou Jinhuan said and took off a jade pendant from his waist, "Here is this for you. If you have any instructions, take the jade pendant to anyone in the house and they will help you. Let the kitchen cook what you want to eat and wear it if you want." Why do you ask Su Yuan to find an embroiderer for you?"
Xiao Ning looked at the jade pendant, hesitated for a long time, and then took it.
She looked up at the invisible Imperial Master and asked softly, "What about you?"
Lou Jin smiled happily and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Watching her back leave, Xiao Ning slowly leaned against the bedside, rubbed the jade pendant in his hand, and muttered: "What a strange person. Could he have caught me to threaten my brother? But it didn't feel like it, strange... …It’s really weird…”
…
No matter what Xiao Ning thinks of her, Lou Jinhuan has no choice but to use such a simple and crude method to bring people back. Although the Imperial Master's Mansion is dangerous, the most dangerous place is the safest place. No matter what the third prince thinks She doesn't like her, and she doesn't dare to come openly to find trouble, so Xiao Ning is totally fine here.
Moreover, the Imperial Master's Mansion is heavily guarded. Although assassins are always coming in, the assassins are here to kill her and have nothing to do with Xiao Ning.
With Xiao Ning here, she could easily take Xiao Qi's bait.
Thinking of Xiao Qi's evasive eyes, she smiled, looking forward to it.
…
The Imperial Preceptor was about to leave for Lanyun Temple to pray for blessings. Everyone in the Imperial Preceptor's house got busy and started preparing things for the trip.
Lou Jinhuan has also been busy in the past few days. Xiao Qi has not been seen since that day on the street, as if he didn't know that his sister had been kidnapped.
When Su Yuan reported the situation, he said in passing, "Sir, the third prince suppressed the news of Xiao Ning's disappearance. The villa sent people to supervise the defense as always."
Lou Jinhuan was not surprised. He rolled up his sleeves with one hand and poured himself tea with a delicate little teapot in the other hand without raising his head. "He is deceiving himself. Let's help him and 'accidentally' reveal this news to Xiao Qi." .”
Su Yuan suddenly realized, "Your Excellency, are you planning to instigate the people around the Third Prince to rebel and make them fight among themselves?"
Lou Jinhuan did not explain, but nodded enigmatically.
"My subordinate understands."
Su Yuan went there full of fighting spirit, and soon arranged for someone to accidentally reveal the news to Xiao Qi.
…
At that time, Xiao Qi was drinking tea in a teahouse near the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, but he was actually watching the situation in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. Suddenly, he heard someone say, "Today, I'm going to tell you something you definitely don't know."
"Drink some wine and you're in high spirits again. What can you say that we don't know?" The people next to him didn't take it seriously. They grabbed peanuts and threw them into their mouths.
"Don't believe it, you really don't know!" The speaker lowered his voice mysteriously, but he and Xiao Qi were separated by a table, and Xiao Qi was a master of internal power, so he could hear everything clearly.
"My seventh cousin's brother's daughter-in-law's son's cousin's cousin's son-in-law works as an errand at a villa owned by the third prince. I deliver food to them every day. My little life is considered nourishing. Yesterday He had diarrhea a little late, so he thought he was going to be scolded, but he didn’t expect something happened in the village!"
Everyone at the table became more energetic, "What happened? Who are the people in the Villa? I haven't heard that the Third Prince has a Villa. Is he raising people outside?"
"That's hard to say. He's a prince, so what's so weird about having an extra wife? If you like it, it's not a big deal if you just take her into the house."
"We don't know who lives there, and we don't dare to say."
"Then what happened? Why can't shit come out of your mouth? Can you please hurry up?"
"Just keep your fucking mouth clean!"
His ears were in a mess, and he started to curse as he spoke.
Xiao Qi frowned, feeling confused.
Biezhuang, which Biezhuang is it? Is it his sister?
Because he had something on his mind, he was particularly sensitive to these two words. However, the person at the table behind scolded him for a long time without getting to the point. He couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and strode to the speaker, grabbed his collar and asked: "Please tell me clearly, what happened to Biezhuang?" What happened?"
"Who are you——"
The man opened his mouth to curse, but when he saw Xiao Qi's stern face and his extraordinary demeanor, he instantly suppressed it and his face turned red.
"If you have something to say, you have something to say." He wanted to open Xiao Qi's hand, but Xiao Qi pressed harder, "Say!"
The man trembled, and no one at the table dared to say a word.
"I said it, I said it! Someone broke in at Biezhuang. It is said that the people inside were kidnapped and their whereabouts are unknown. However, Biezhuang suppressed the news and refused to tell the outside world. I had to tell them because I was a relative. mine……"
Xiao Qi let him go before he finished speaking, threw down a piece of silver and ran out of the teahouse.
He ran into the street and almost bumped into someone. After apologizing repeatedly, he stood in the sun, completely dazed.
His sister was kidnapped, and he didn't even know who did it. Where would he find it? Where to find it?
Why did the third prince suppress the news? Why not tell him?
Are you afraid that if he finds out, he will no longer serve him?
Questions poured into his mind one after another. Xiao Qi felt dizzy and broke into a cold sweat on a hot day.
Just when he was about to fall, someone helped him and stuffed a note in his palm.
Xiao Qi suddenly became alert. He raised his head to look, but the man melted into the sea of people and disappeared.
He felt the note in his hand, silently clenched his hand and walked to a remote place.
Walking to the dark alley where there was no one, he made sure no one came in. He opened the note and took a look at it. It read: Your sister is at the Imperial Prefect's Mansion. If you want to see her, she will come at night.
Imperial Master's Office?
Xiao Qi's heart tightened. Could it be that the Imperial Master sent someone to do it? What does she want to do?
He stood there, the note crumpled into his palm, his eyes like snow.
After a while, he walked out as if nothing had happened and continued to stare at the movements of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
