People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Xiao Ting was finally brought in front of King Yan.
Looking carefully in the daytime now, Xiao Ting feels that King Yan and the Ninth Prince really resemble each other.
No wonder it's an uncle-nephew relationship.
Her mind was spinning, thinking how she could get away with it. In fact, she had thought about this reason hundreds of times, but she was still not sure that King Yan would let her go.
"Xiao Ting, the sixth girl of the Xiao family in the empire, Chu Li's main concubine!"
Hehe, Xiao Ting was dumbfounded. It turned out that she had found everything, so it's good that she doesn't have to lie now.
This is a man who looks mighty. His eyes were sharp and frightening, and he had a dignified air of a king. Just sitting there, he felt an aura rushing toward his face.
"Hey, so you are Uncle Yan Wang, and you are as good-looking as my prince."
Xiao Ting raised her hand to say hello.
It's a pity that her hands were still tied, and the movements she made were very funny.
"Uncle, you call me uncle?"
King Yan seemed surprised, and repeated it again.
Xiao Ting blinked her eyes and asked strangely, "Could it be that I misidentified you, you are not King Yan, you are not the prince's uncle?"
King Yan "..."
"Untie the princess."
As soon as Xiao Ting was free, she rushed to the table next to her and sat down.
Because there are a lot of delicious food on that table.
She is very hungry.
While eating, she did not forget to thank King Yan.
Except for the internal officials, there is only King Yan here.
The speed of taking Xiao Ting to eat slowed down, and King Yan asked again, "Why did the princess appear here?"
"I don't know either!" Xiao Ting decided to play stupid to the end, "By the way, uncle, where was I when you found me? Did bad guys kidnap me or did you see other people?"
Naturally, King Yan did not catch the Ninth Prince by doing so, so she would not be afraid.
So she started to make up nonsense, saying that when she was in Yecheng, she was seriously injured because of the Ninth Prince trying to save her, and then she was knocked unconscious and taken away, and she didn't know where she was until she woke up just now.
"Someone found you in the palace."
King Yan naturally didn't believe her words, but Xiao Ting's performance and the place where she was caught didn't look like she came from a trap.
"The royal palace, which royal palace is here? Ah, uncle, you must have sent someone to take me here?"
Xiao Ting put down the things in her hands, looked at King Yan innocently, and said something silly.
"How could I do such a thing?"
This girl was as out of tune as the rumors said, and she spoke upside down.
Xiao Ting believed his words, lowered her head and started counting with her fingers.
"Then who would want to take me away? And send it here?"
Xiao Ting scratched her head in confusion.
"Then how about I send you back home?"
King Yan spoke tentatively.
Xiao Ting immediately clapped her hands and said good-bye, "Thank you so much, Uncle. I don't know how long it took me to get here from Yecheng. Then I have been missing for so long. The prince must be very worried, and Xiaoyun and Xiaoshi must miss me. I will be scolded again when I go back."
She muttered to herself for a long time, then suddenly thought of something, looked up at King Yan, and said with a smile, "Then uncle, before I leave, can I trouble you to send someone to inform my lord first, so that he doesn't worry about me."
King Yan lowered his eyes, as if deliberating his words for a while, before speaking.
"The princess may not know yet, Chu Li is dead from him."
Xiao Ting's elated expression suddenly changed, and she froze there, showing an ugly smile.
"Uncle, our relatives belong to relatives, so you shouldn't curse my prince like that."
She seemed to be careless, but in fact, her eyes had been staring at King Yan's expression, not letting go of a single bit.
"Hey..." Yan Wang sighed, and his tone softened.
"It happened just a few months ago, the night you said."
"Impossible." Xiao Ting stared directly, "You are lying to me, the prince is so good at martial arts, and he designed to let those people in that time, how could he hurt himself, not to mention Li Mo and the others are still guarding by his side, the prince will be fine."
"And, besides, his martial arts are very good, super good. Li Mo once told Yuchi Xinhan that there are very few people in this world who can hurt him, so how could he die?"
The Ninth Prince possessed peerless martial arts, and those people couldn't hurt him, not to mention his physique had already changed, and ordinary spiritualists couldn't do anything about him.
Fortunately, these people don't know, so they won't suspect about the Ninth Prince.
"Uncle, you must be lying to me, right? Or are you testing my identity?"
In order to make the scene more realistic, Xiao Ting quietly stretched out her hand hidden in her sleeve to her thigh, twisted herself twice, and squeezed out two tears that hung in her eye sockets in pain.
"I have received your portrait before, so I will not admit it wrong. I did not lie to you. The news of the death of the Ninth Prince has been announced to the five kingdoms and ten places. I heard that the emperor of the empire fell seriously ill because of this, and now he is no longer able to go to court."
The emperor is seriously ill
Isn't this news from a long time ago? How could it be connected with the death of the Ninth Prince? Could it be that something happened to the palace
"I, I want to go back to Licheng." Xiao Ting said eagerly before going out.
"Princess, don't be impatient, I will send you back, so go and have a good rest today!"
"No, Uncle, let someone send me back now, I'm leaving now, I don't believe it, the prince will be fine, and he won't leave me alone."
Xiao Ting called her uncle familiarly, wanting to leave.
"Okay, then you can wait for an hour, and I will arrange for someone to escort you back."
"Thank you uncle!"
Xiao Ting was led out of the hall, but felt very uneasy.
Where did the Ninth Prince go? And where did the magician who came up with him go? Why did they knock him out and throw him beside King Yan's bedroom
Just then, a group of people came across.
The ones in the front are all dressed like Yandi Palace, and there is a tall man in the back.
He was wearing a white cloak and a hood so tightly that he could not see his face clearly.
Moreover, the walking posture of this person was like a willow posing in the wind. Xiao Ting sniffed, and felt that after this person walked past, there was a strange smell on his body, which was very faint, and ordinary people could not smell it at all.
He kept his head down all the way, as if afraid of being recognized.
But Xiao Ting only glanced at it, then withdrew her eyes, she didn't care about so much right now.
Xiao Ting didn't stay here for long, and they set off after an hour.
King Yan didn't come to see her off, they left the palace all the way and went directly to the border of the empire.
At this time, in Yanwang Palace.
The person dressed as a man lowered the curtain, revealing a face that was so ordinary that it would not be recognized in the crowd.
But King Yan was very excited when he saw this person, he walked down from the throne and greeted him quickly.
"Why did you come in person? Don't send anyone to tell me, so I can go pick you up."
King Yan was very excited. He held the man's shoulders and stared at him fixedly.
I even changed my name to me.
"Your Majesty takes care of everything every day, how can I have time to watch over me?"
The man reached out and knocked his hand away, and walked forward, but it was a woman's voice when he spoke.
"Yunying, you know me..."
King Yan was in a hurry, what did he want to explain? Also followed the past step by step.
"Okay, King Yan doesn't need to explain, I'm just joking with you."
She waved her sleeves and sat down, then signaled King Yan to sit down too.
"I'm here this time to tell you something important."
"Tell me!" King Yan looked at the visitor with an expression that made me happy whatever you said.
"Do you know who is the disaster star in the prophecy of the Five Kingdoms and Ten Places?"
King Yan looked at her in surprise, "Didn't we spread the word? What? Do you have any news?"
The woman nodded.
He said solemnly, "We did spread the news, but we only wanted to confuse everyone's attention at first, but we didn't expect this kind of system to really appear."
"Who is he? Do you know him?"
King Yan tightened his expression, thinking that the name she said this time must be unusual.
"Yes, not only I know you, but also your relatives."
"My family?" King Yan didn't think too much, but asked her to name her directly.
"He is the Ninth Prince of the Empire, Chu Li."
"What? How could it be him?"
"Why can't it be him? He was weak and sick since he was a child, and no one would think about it at all, which made him grow up to be in his twenties."
King Yan was surprised at first, and then fell silent.
"It's a good thing he's dead, otherwise we, uncle and nephew, might have to fight."
"You are really ruthless, that is your sister's only son."
"Just say whatever you want, as long as you're happy!"
"Everyone in the world can punish the catastrophe, let alone the members of the royal family."
King Yan sighed and said, "It's just that my younger sister gave everything for his son. If she is still here now, I'm afraid she will die with regret."
"Fortunately, Chu Li is dead."
"If he died, I wouldn't have made this trip myself."
The woman snorted coldly.
"What do you mean? You mean he is not dead?" Yan Wang Teng stood up suddenly.
"That's right. According to the news I got, he entered Yandi together with Xiao Ting, so I'm here to remind you not to take it lightly. Although their purpose of coming here is not clear, there must be something very important."
The woman glanced at him lightly, disdainful.
"Come here..." King Yan called out without saying anything.
"Has the team that sent the Ninth Princess of the Empire out of the palace left?"
"Go back to the king, they just left."
"Chase, hurry up and chase her back to me."
King Yan was furious, he never thought that Xiao Ting would lie to him.
And she pretended to be so similar, like a woman who first heard that her husband was dead.
Such eagerness, disbelief, and reckless demeanor even concealed it from him.
But after the internal officials went down, the woman came to her senses.
"You mean Xiao Ting was in Yan Palace just now?"
"Yes, someone knocked him out and left him here."
"Then why did you let her go again?" The woman was so angry that he was almost speechless.
