Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

In the dead of night, the oil lamps burn quietly.

Mr. Du looked at Jiao Gui who was kneeling in front of him, frowning tightly, with a solemn expression.

"Give me freedom, or give me death... Is that what the prince really said?"

Jiaogui nodded: "Well, these are the words of Shi Zi."

She was a little flustered and couldn't help asking.

"Could it be that the son really dragged the entire Prince Yu's mansion to die in order to fight for freedom?"

She is the son of Prince Yu's Mansion, and her parents, brother and sister are all servants of Prince Yu's Mansion. Once Prince Yu's Mansion collapses, they will also suffer.

Mr. Du frowned in thought.

Although he didn't grow up watching the son grow up, but after living in Prince Yu's mansion for several years, he has more or less understood the son's temperament.

In his impression, although the prince would quarrel with his family from time to time, even King Yu dared to contradict him.

But in the bottom of Shi Zi's heart, he still cared about Yu Wang's family members very much.

Otherwise, the crown prince wouldn't have wronged himself by disguising himself as a man for so many years in order to preserve Yu Wangfu.

only……

Now the prince seems to have changed a lot.

It can be seen from her trying to escape all the way, that she really wants to leave Prince Yu's Mansion.

Is it because of being suppressed for too long that the temperament has changed drastically, or is there some other strangeness hidden in it?

Mr. Du is still unable to get a definite answer.

He said in a low voice.

"I have already written to King Yu about the matter in Beijing, and I just need to wait quietly for King Yu's reply.

You have to keep an eye on Shizi, if she goes out again in the future, you have to follow her. "

Jiao Gui hesitated a little: "Will this arouse the prince's suspicion?"

She has always been Shizi's personal servant girl, and she is very trusted by Shizi, and Shizi never hides anything from her.

But in fact, Jiaogui's true allegiance is King Yu.

It should be said that the entire Yuwang Mansion is only loyal to Yuwang.

Whether it's Jiao Gui, Mr. Du, or Ban Ren, they will all be the eyeliners sent by King Yu to monitor the prince.

Mr. Du said helplessly, "I'm afraid she already has doubts about you."

Jiao Gui was stunned: "Huh?"

Mr. Du said slowly.

"Your Majesty, I told you those things on purpose.

She probably wants to use your mouth to convey those words to Yu Wang and me.

She's going to tell us all that she's not a pawn to be manipulated.

If we really push her into a hurry, she will die with us. "

Jiao Gui's face turned pale when he heard that, and said in a low voice.

"then what do I do?"

Mr. Du: "Didn't I tell you? You just need to keep an eye on Shizi, and I will take care of other things."

"Here."

next morning.

Hua Manman just had breakfast when he heard a familiar voice outside.

"Mother! Mother!"

She stood up and walked to the door, and saw Li Xun at a glance.

The kid just jumped off the wooden ladder.

Almost as soon as he landed, he ran towards Hua Manman.

Hua Manman scolded: "Why did you climb over the wall again? Didn't you promise me not to climb over the wall again?"

Li Xun ran in front of his mother in one breath, and when he heard this, an angry expression appeared on his face, and he said angrily.

"I originally wanted to come in through the front door.

But the people in Prince Yu's Mansion refused to let me in, saying that my mother was very busy these two days and had no time to see outsiders.

But I am not an outsider, I am mother's precious son!

I couldn't get angry, so I climbed over the wall to find my mother. "

Hua Manman knew after a little thought that this should be Mr. Du's arrangement.

Mr. Du wants her to stay in the mansion with peace of mind these two days and not to contact the outside world. Anyone who comes to her will be turned away.

Hua Manman touched Li Xun's little head.

"Even so, you can't climb over the wall. If you really want to see mother, you can call me through the courtyard wall, and I will find you."

Li Xun was worried that it was his mother who didn't want to see him, but when he heard what his mother said, he immediately felt relieved, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Yeah, I see!"

Hua Manman led him into the house, and his colleague asked, "Where's your father?"

Li Xun shook his head and replied.

"Father has gone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it seems to be to investigate the case of Prince Qing's son.

Recently, someone from the palace also sent a message, saying that the saint was seriously ill, urging his father to go to the palace to have a look.

Tsk tsk, looking at it this way, the father is really busy! "

Hua Manman couldn't help laughing.

She reached out and flicked the child's forehead.

"You know quite a lot."

Li Xun likes to perform in front of his mother the most.

He said triumphantly.

"They all thought I was a child, they didn't understand anything, and they didn't avoid me when they talked.

In fact, I know a lot!

If you want to know anything, you can come and ask me. "

Hua Manman thought the child's appearance was very interesting, and couldn't help but want to tease him.

She pretended to be thinking seriously, and asked after a while.

"Then do you know how the investigation of Prince Qing's case is going? Have you caught the murderer who poisoned you?"

Li Xun's face was wrinkled into a ball.

He doesn't know about this either!

But he didn't want to lose face in front of his mother, so he scratched his head and thought, trying his best to give a decent answer.

Seeing this, Hua Manman finds it more and more interesting.

She gave instructions to Jiao Gui who was standing beside her.

"Go and bring over the newly made ice powder from the kitchen, and get some fresh fruits and snacks."

"Here."

Jiao Gui walked to the door, conveyed Shizi's orders to the servants outside, and then returned to the house, continuing to stand behind Shizi.

Hua Manman noticed this, but just acted as if she hadn't noticed anything.

She smiled and said to the child.

"Don't worry, when your father comes back, you should be able to find out who the real murderer is."

Li Xun failed to give an answer that satisfied his mother, he felt very lost, his small shoulders collapsed, and he was weak in speaking.

"Oh."

Hua Manman turned to ask other questions.

"Why do you always run to me? Don't you even have to go to class?"

Li Xun groaned, "Mr. Du is injured, he has no time to teach me recently."

Hua Manman knew that Mr. Du couldn't control this little devil.

She asked: "Did your father never think of sending you to the school? I remember that all the princes and sons of you who went to Beijing attended classes in the Imperial Academy, right?"

As soon as he talked about going to the school, Li Xun's eyes turned away, and his tone was a little weak.

"I went to Taixue for two days of classes before."

Hua Manman had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked, "And then?"

Li Xun didn't want to answer this question.

But the person who asked the question was Niangqin, so he had to answer.

He could only speak in a low voice.

"When I was in school, I got into a fight with my classmates and I injured them.

The teacher at Taixue was very angry and insisted that I apologize to my classmates.

I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't want to apologize to those people, so I skipped school every day, and then I didn't go to school at all. "
