Unexpectedly, the Ninth Prince actually said something.
Let's talk when everyone is here.
Therefore, he was sure that these veterans would come to him and cry.
Right now, he wanted to see how he would answer.
After all, people were killed by him, and there is really no proof of death.
Xiao Ting was also very curious.
The Ninth Prince took a step forward, let go of Xiao Ting's hand, swept over the ministers who were about to get up, and calmly replied: "My brother, I have nothing to say."
"ah?"
Miss Xiao Liu was the first to be dumbfounded.
Let's go, isn't this too straightforward
"Plop..."
Then, those few old ministers just got up and knelt down at the emperor's will, half surprised and half happy, the expressions on their faces, like a dead tree in spring, all showed smiles.
Then, he talked to the emperor again about how to deal with the Ninth Prince.
It even brought up many examples and lessons of the sages, saying that such a precedent cannot be set.
From the beginning to the end, the Ninth Prince did not say a word, let alone defend himself.
In the end, the emperor was also very helpless, so he decreed that the Ninth Prince be temporarily detained in the Qiankun Palace, and he will be dealt with after the truth is found out.
Although the group of veterans were not very satisfied, they didn't say anything more. After all, such a good result was far beyond their expectations.
They thought it would be a tough battle, but they prepared for a day and a night, thought of all kinds of methods and results, and continued to deduce and simulate, so they dared to confront.
He even made plans to kill the fish and break the net.
Unexpectedly, the situation was turned back so easily.
Let the Nine Princes be imprisoned.
It was like a heavy punch waving, but it hit the cotton without any effort.
It made them both uncomfortable and relieved.
Nine Princes accepted the result, but said that all this had nothing to do with Nine Princes.
After all, she is also a victim.
Elder Xu Ge and the others wanted to say more, but the emperor directly made a decision and decided to let Xiao Ting go.
After all, he couldn't make the emperor's brother sad.
But Xiao Ting quit at this moment, looking at the Ninth Prince, there was a sly look in her eyes, and then she looked at death as if she were home, and said: "My concubine wants to be with the prince. If he is born, I will live, and if he dies, I will die."
Old Xu Ge said speculatively: "The Ninth Prince and the Concubine are truly a couple."
Others also agree.
In the end, Xiao Ting was imprisoned together with the Ninth Prince as she wished.
When she came to the so-called Qiankun Palace, Xiao Ting's eyes flashed with disappointment.
"Why did the princess come with you?"
Ninth Prince calmly found a place to sit down and asked.
There was a stream of light in the eyes, which was as radiant as a star.
It was different from the indifferent appearance of the past, but it was only for a moment.
Xiao Ting patted the bed twice, and said, "Hasn't this girl never been in prison? Want to see what the royal prison looks like?"
Ninth Prince, "..."
"Hey, I thought it would be a dark and damp place with cockroaches and mice running all over the place. I didn't expect you to live in such a good place after committing such a great crime."
"Heh, why does the emperor break the law and commit the same crime as the common people, is it just a joke?"
After hearing what she said, the Ninth Prince finally knew that he had made a mistake.
"So, the princess came to see the prison?"
Ninth Prince's voice was obviously the same as before, but Miss Xiao Liu could hear a bit of displeasure from it.
Then the mind became more alert, and immediately shook his head like a wave drum, ran to the person, squatted down, and said: "I am afraid that the prince will be too lonely, so I come to accompany you!"
If she didn't know that she had taken Tumi Huakai, she would not be affectionate to anyone in this life, and he would think that she was really enlightened and treat him with some genuine affection.
Thinking of this, his heart was a little empty, he turned around to avoid her, went to another place, picked up the book on the shelf, and started to study it seriously.
Xiao Ting was stunned for a moment, and muttered to herself, did I say something wrong? Why do you feel that he is unhappy
But she doesn't care.
Because the emperor ordered them to be locked up in this so-called Qiankun Palace, as long as they don't go out, they will be fine.
Miss Xiao Liu got excited, so she walked out of the main hall and wandered around outside.
Want to see if there is something new to play with.
This place is very big, but it is no different from other buildings. Xiao Ting lost interest after walking around. She climbed up an old tree, climbed up to the eaves of the temple, touched the carved flowers, plants, fish and insects, and was ready to go down.
Because she is a little hungry.
Turning around, he found a man standing outside the courtyard wall.
The familiar face was very rigid, without any smile, and the eyes were clear and dignified.
It was the eldest prince whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
Xiao Ting didn't expect him to be there, and Chu Jiyao didn't expect to see her.
Their eyes met, neither of them knew what to say.
After a long time, Xiao Ting was the first to react, her voice was still brisk, and she said, "Long time no see."
"Well, long time no see, how are you?"
One is on the eaves, one is under the wall, one looks down but has a guilty conscience, and the other looks up but has a clear conscience.
"Very good, if that's all right, I'll go down first."
Xiao Ting also didn't know why she felt guilty when facing Chu Jiyao, anyway, since they talked with him that time, they haven't seen each other again.
She never thought of him again.
It's just that Er Gouzi is following him now, and he doesn't know what happened
But her current situation is not ideal, let him follow Chu Jiyao!
Xiao Ting, who returned to the main hall, lost interest. The Ninth Prince glanced at her, and then slightly pursed his lower lip when he thought of the scene he had just seen.
Not much to say.
After a long time, Xiao Ting rolled around on the bed a few times, then got up, "My lord, I'm hungry, do you have something to eat?"
The Ninth Prince glanced at her, then got up and walked out. Not long after, several court ladies came in with large and small dishes.
After laying out the food, he retreated.
Everything was quiet, without any excitement, which made Xiao Ting feel bored.
She went to bed when she was full. Anyway, in this time and space, there was no other entertainment.
In the middle of the night, in the main hall where they lived, a man appeared silently.
Ninth Prince opened his eyes, got up calmly, and went outside.
"master."
The visitor knelt on one knee without making a sound. If he didn't make a sound, he wouldn't feel that he was a living person.
In such an extremely quiet night, even the sound of breathing was not revealed, which shows the depth of the person's inner strength.
Candles were not lit in the hall, and the two stood and knelt, chatting through the moonlight coming in from outside.
The voice was very low, and finally, the Ninth Prince said in a normal voice: "Report this king's plan to the emperor."
"Yes." The man in black glanced back at the inner hall, and then left with a flash of a figure.
The room was very quiet, especially in such an empty place, and it was so quiet, Xiao Ting thought it would be better to retreat obediently.
"The princess comes and comes back, what are you doing?"
When the voice of the Ninth Prince came, Xiao Ting just turned around, and before she could speak, she saw him approaching her.
Startled back again and again, almost fell.
This person became more and more unfathomable. Even though the voice was still far away, the person came behind her silently.
"Guilt to be a thief? What did you hear?"
Xiao Ting yelled, "You guys speak in such a low voice, I can't hear you even if I want to!"
"Besides, I didn't do it on purpose. Suddenly there are more people around me, I'm not used to it, and the quality of sleep is too poor. I woke up as soon as you got up."
Fortunately, Xiao Ting explained clearly, anyway, she is not afraid of the shadow crooked.
However, this is also the first time she has seen the other side of the Ninth Prince.
It turned out that he was really working for the emperor, not as useless as the world knew.
"Um."
Regarding this, the Ninth Prince didn't say anything, walked directly to the bed, sat on it, and then saw that she was still below, he stretched out his hand to her, and said, "Come and sleep."
Xiao Ting: "...", is that an understatement
It was indeed different from what she had imagined.
The two lay side by side on the bed, but Xiao Ting couldn't sleep, she turned sideways and asked, "My lord, why didn't you justify what happened today?"
The Ninth Prince didn't expect her to ask this question, and was a little stunned for a while.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ting was puzzled.
The Ninth Prince lay flat and upright, looked straight up, and said: "I thought that the princess would never care about these things."
"What do you mean? Blame this girl for not caring about you?"
Maybe it was because the night was too dark and quiet, or maybe it was the first time the two of them discussed issues like normal people, but the Ninth Prince's indifferent expression was finally tainted with a little smile.
"The princess will leave tomorrow!"
"Why?" Xiao Ting didn't understand, although it wasn't fun here.
"You don't want to go?" Ninth Prince asked back.
"That's not true." Xiao Ting also imitated his appearance and lay back, saying: "I just feel that you are bored when you come here on weekdays. If I leave, wouldn't it be even more boring for you to be alone."
"Princess, you..."
Ninth Prince didn't know what to say.
Xiao Ting said: "I remember, I asked someone to change their address last night, so you changed it like this?"
Her words were a bit convoluted, and the Ninth Prince thought for a while before he understood.
The complex in my heart was broken up in an instant.
After all, he and Xiao Ting will be entangled together in this life.
Whether he can love or not, he will never let go.
Then why bother with these.
"Tinger..."
Ninth Prince suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled her over, and embraced her.
He looks a little slender and thin, but this hug is still very powerful.
"Ahem..." Miss Xiao Liu coughed lightly twice before she regained her breath.
"I said, my lord, can you be normal? What is the sudden enthusiasm going to be?"
Xiao Ting felt that she was still used to the calm appearance of the Ninth Prince, and it was pleasing to the eye.
When this person fell into the dust, she always felt flustered.
"My lord is suddenly a little cold, and I want to hug you to sleep."
Ninth Prince's cool voice came from the top of his head, and at the same time, there was a hint of a pleasant smile.
Xiao Ting didn't doubt that he was there, so she let him hug her.
Not long after, she vaguely felt a devil's claw moving around her body.
She was really sleepy, so she twisted her body to avoid the claw.
Unexpectedly, seeing her hiding, the paw became even more unscrupulous and moved to her chest.
Xiao Ting woke up instantly.
Just as she was about to question her, she met a pair of misty and evil eyes.
"Little girl, finally woke up? Huh?"
