Spare my life! The princess can make the villains read each other's minds

The middle-aged noble lady with a look of disappointment on her face was none other than Xiao Yan and Xiao Jun's biological mother, Concubine Li of Liyun Palace, Zhou Lishu!

Xiao Yan sat on the side, leaning against the back of the chair, looking listless, his face was even more swollen and covered with unknown plasters, his eyes were squeezed into slits, where was he still the handsome god of war?

Hu Xiaohui stood beside him, her eyes red, holding Xiao Yan's arm.

Both of them stared at Xiao Jun who was kneeling on the ground!

Especially Hu Xiaohui, a barely perceptible gleam of resentment flashed across her eyes.

It’s all because of this mute, otherwise Tian Rumo would have died for sure!

She thought that if Xiao Jun had not blocked a few crossbowmen, Tian Rumo would have been shot into a hedgehog!

We have searched the entire Prince Qi's Mansion, but we can't find any trace of Tian Rumo. She must have escaped.

Why doesn't this troublesome mute prince just die?

Xiao Jun's expression was extremely complicated.

He did not regret letting Tian Rumo go, but he also felt sorry for the people in front of him.

"Damn it!"

When Concubine Li saw Xiao Jun like this, she grabbed a teacup on the table next to her and smashed it towards Xiao Jun.

The teacup hit Xiao Jun's forehead and shattered with a clang. The fragments fell to the ground and the scalding tea splashed all over Xiao Jun's face.

A cut appeared on Xiao Jun's forehead, and bright red blood began to flow out slowly.

Concubine Li ignored all this. She was extremely anxious, irritated and angry, and growled at Xiao Jun.

"You knew that this secret concerns our lives and property, but you ignored all of us for a woman!"

"She is the Princess of Qi, your sister-in-law. Her life or death has nothing to do with you. What on earth do you want to do?"

Xiao Jun shook his head and gestured with his hands in front of him, wanting to tell Concubine Li that Tian Rumo was obsessed with Xiao Yan, and besides, she was the Princess of Qi, her fate tied to the Qi Palace, and she would not really tell that secret to anyone.

Also, he believed in Tian Rumo's character. He saved Tian Rumo, and even for his sake, Tian Rumo would keep the secret.

Concubine Li had no patience, as she had never understood Xiao Jun's sign language. She pointed outside with her eyes wide open.

"Get out! Send out all the people you can. Bring Tian Ruomo back before she tells anyone the secret, dead or alive!"

Xiao Jun knew that it was useless to say anything, and he couldn't say anything, so he stood up, bowed to Concubine Li again, and then turned and walked out.

As soon as Xiao Jun left, Concubine Li immediately said to Xiao Yan in a deep voice, "I am worried about this idiot. Send someone to keep an eye on him. At the same time, send more assassins from Prince Qi's Mansion to lurk around Duke Tian's Mansion!"

"That woman has nowhere else to go. She will definitely return to Duke Tian's Mansion. We must get rid of her before she enters Duke Tian's Mansion!"

Hu Xiaohui held a new cup of tea and respectfully placed it on Concubine Li's desk, saying, "Don't worry, your majesty. The prince has already thought of this. Now the perimeter of Duke Tian's mansion is all ours!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li slowly sat up straight. Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, she couldn't help feeling distressed.

"How do you feel now?"

Xiao Yan felt a little aggrieved, "Mother, it just hurts!"

Hu Xiaohui said angrily, "My queen, Tian Ruomo's beating of the prince is not only a disrespect to the Qi Palace, but also a disrespect to the royal family!"

"Moreover, Tian Ruomo's martial arts skills are so high and she is so well hidden. No one would believe that she was not specially arranged by Duke Tian's Mansion to be a spy in Prince Qi's Mansion!"

"This matter should be reported to His Majesty. Please make the decision and ask His Majesty to hold the Tian Guogong Mansion accountable. This way, it can also hit the Tian Guogong Mansion!"

The Mansion of Duke Tian supports the Crown Prince. Attacking the Mansion of Duke Tian is equivalent to attacking the Crown Prince!

Hu Xiaohui did not say it explicitly, but she believed that Concubine Li understood what she meant.

She wanted to show her intelligence and talent in front of Concubine Li, so that she would be more favored by Concubine Li.

Just when she thought she would get Concubine Li's praise, she heard Concubine Li's scolding.

"Nonsense! You, the great God of War of the Great Jin Dynasty, were beaten like this by a woman. Instead of blocking the news, you dared to complain to His Majesty and attack the Tian Guogong Mansion?"

"You are destroying your own family instead of attacking others!"

She originally thought Hu Xiaohui was a smart person and had always liked her, but she didn't expect her to say such stupid things.

Hu Xiaohui was startled, and realized that she was in a hurry to show off and had not thought things through, so she quickly fell to her knees.

"I am confused, please don't be angry!"

Concubine Li took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

This trouble was all caused by Hu Xiaohui.

If the Minister of Rites was not a core official supporting Xiao Yan, she would really want to have Hu Xiaohui kicked out.

She waved her hand, asked Hu Xiaohui to stand up, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What exactly is this about being able to hear each other's thoughts?"

When Hu Xiaohui and Xiao Yan heard Concubine Li ask this, they looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

Xiao Yan didn't want to talk. As soon as he opened his mouth, his face would move and he would gasp in pain.

Tian Rumo is such a cruel woman. She didn't know how to control her severity when she attacked. She even wrote a love letter to tell him that she was willing to give her life for him!

A woman's mouth is full of lies. Is this how she sacrificed her life for him?

Damn!

Hu Xiaohui thought for a moment, looked around with some concern, and then said, "My queen, is there something dirty in Prince Qi's mansion?"

When Concubine Li and Xiao Yan heard this, they felt an inexplicable chill down their spines and looked around instinctively.

What happened today is truly unbelievable!

Who has ever heard of being able to hear other people’s thoughts?

Seeing this, Hu Xiaohui hurriedly said, "My queen, do you want to find a master to go back to Prince Qi's mansion and perform a grand ritual to pacify the house and exorcise the evil spirits?"

"My lies are deceiving the public!"

Concubine Li was suspicious, but she pulled herself together and scolded Hu Xiaohui, "If you do this, won't you tell everyone that Prince Qi's mansion is haunted and an ominous place?"

"So many eyes are staring at us. Do you think they don't have enough reasons to attack us?"

Hu Xiaohui realized that she had said the wrong thing and really wanted to slap herself.

The more you want to perform, the easier it is to make mistakes!

She had no choice but to lower her head and dared not speak anymore.

Imperial Concubine Li glared at her, snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice, "There is only one thing now, and that is Tian Ruomo. Before solving Tian Ruomo's problem, don't create any complications and stay calm!"

Xiao Yan responded, "Got it, mother!"

At this time, Zhao Jing came in and asked, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time for dinner. Do you want to eat?"

Concubine Li stood up and said, "I can't leave the palace for too long. I have to hurry back. I won't have dinner in Prince Qi's mansion!"

An old maid came over and helped Concubine Li to walk out. Concubine Li remembered something, turned around and looked at Xiao Yan.

"I have received news that the drought in the northwest has worsened this year, and a large number of refugees will arrive in the vicinity of the capital soon."

"Your Majesty certainly does not want the court to spend too much money, and will ask the princes of various places to pay. The silver in the Chu Palace treasury was taken out by that idiot to help the untouchables last month without my permission."

"You must take good care of the money in the Qi Wang Mansion's treasury. It is the basis for recruiting soldiers, training and strengthening the private soldiers of the fiefdom. His Majesty asked you to take the money, and you can just cry poor and show your appreciation!"

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother. The situation in the Great Jin is turbulent now, with wars and chaos everywhere. The money should be used where it counts. The victims of the disaster are the business of the emperor and the court. What does it have to do with me, your son?"

"I am not the fourth emperor's younger brother, I am not that stupid!"
