Jing Yuan will always be like this, he can always find some details that are difficult for others to detect.

After listening to his words, Xiao Jining was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized what Jing Yuan was referring to. He was referring to the fact that he could swim—but as a prince, Xiao Jining should not be able to swim.

Because no one taught him, he did not have the conditions to learn fushui by himself.

If he would still be able to swim under such circumstances, there are only two possibilities, one is that he is very talented, and the other is that he is hiding his true strength all the time.

But these two possibilities are not the truth that Xiao Jining knows how to drink water.

However, Jing Yuan also asked him: "Does Your Highness think what Jing Yuan said is reasonable?"

Xiao Jining was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer Jing Yuan's words: "I..."

But this time, Jingyuan was not as aggressive towards Xiao Jining as in the milk drinking incident last time, he just curled the corner of his lower lip to point out: "So there are some things that you have to learn by yourself, such as this water, if you can't, then What if I accidentally fall into the water next time?"

"Yes yes yes... Brother Jingyuan's words are reasonable." Although Xiao Jining thinks that he can refute that even if he can swim, sometimes he will drown if he falls into the water, so it is better for others to learn to save him , but does Xiao Jining really dare to say that?

He dare not.

So Xiao Jining shrank his neck, like a quail whose wings were pinched, not daring to talk back to Jing Yuan again.

Unexpectedly, when Jing Yuan saw Xiao Jining like this, the interest in his eyes became even stronger.

Jing Yuan actually didn't notice Xiao Jining's disappearance at the beginning. After all, the location of the banquet has a certain relationship with the official status, and the official position accompanied by the prince is not high, so Jing Yuan has to see how many princes are actually sitting in the seat. It's not easy.

But once the three princes at the prince's banquet are gone, the vacant seat will be more conspicuous.

So Jingyuan found something wrong, and it turned out to be true. The three princes all fell into the water, but the most interesting thing for him today is that one is that the ninth prince Xiao Jining drowned, and the other is that the eighth prince explained what he saw. When it came to the rhetoric of the people who pushed him into the water—the prince in the palace, he was indeed smarter.

Jing Yuan laughed, let go of Xiao Jining's hand, stroked his fingers towards his waist, but found nothing, Jing Yuan's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and then quickly stretched out, his drooping eyes made a faint sound, The tone remained unchanged from before: "I don't know who pushed the Eighth Prince into the water, it's so bold."

Xiao Jining has been secretly paying attention to Jing Yuan, and he also saw that Jing Yuan wanted to touch something but didn't touch it. Looking carefully at Jing Yuan's attire, Xiao Jining found that the emerald jade pendant that Jing Yuan had been hanging on his waist before was missing. Maybe it was because he accidentally fell into the water while saving him and the seventh and eighth princes.

Speaking of it, Xiao Jining, the pendant, seemed to have seen him hanging around his waist and never left his body since the first day he saw Jing Yuan, and Jing Yuan sometimes liked to caress the jade pendant while talking, even in front of Emperor Xiao. In this way, such behavior can be said to be disrespectful, but Emperor Xiao never cared about it.

Not only that, many times Xiao Emperor's favoritism and indulgence towards Jing Yuan would even give Xiao Jining the illusion that Jing Yuan is the illegitimate son of Xiao Emperor, otherwise there is really no way to explain why Xiao Emperor trusts Jing Yuan so much, or in other words - trusts Jing Yuan. Home.

Let's take the matter of letting Jing Yuan be his accompanying reader. Although Xiao Jining knew that Emperor Xiao wanted him to serve as a shield for the Seventh Prince, how could Emperor Xiao ensure that a prince who gained the influence of the Jing family to some extent would not Have a different heart, or the Jing family can't afford to have a different heart?

Even if Xiao Jining hadn't watched many Gongdou dramas, he knew that the emperor was afraid of ministers who held military power, but Emperor Xiao's attitude towards the Jing family was beyond the words "trust".

This made Xiao Jining really puzzled, so he didn't listen carefully to Jing Yuan's words, and replied subconsciously: "Brother Eight Emperor has already said, pushing him down is a guard in ocher red clothes."

Jing Yuan immediately sneered and said firmly, "That's not necessarily the case."

"Why?" Xiao Jining asked him, "The only ones wearing red clothes today are the guards." Xiao Jining also had other doubts at first, but after the eighth prince said those words, Xiao Jining's doubts about that person faded away.

However, Jingyuan deserves to be Jingyuan. Xiao Jining felt that there might be nothing he dared not say. Jingyuan raised his eyes and looked into his eyes, and said word by word: "It is not only the guards who wear red clothes today, the crown prince also wears red clothes today. Dressed in red."

Xiao Jining looked at Jing Yuan in astonishment, opened and closed his lips, and finally found his voice after a while: "Brother Jing Yuan Shen..."

He wanted to remind Jing Yuan to be cautious, but Jing Yuan laughed at himself before he finished speaking: "His Royal Highness, look at my memory, the prince is wearing vermilion today, but the eighth prince said that the person who pushed him into the water was wearing ocher red." ,Right?"

Xiao Jining said: "Yes..."

Jing Yuan didn't speak any more, just let go of Xiao Jining's hand, got up and got off the sedan chair to lift up the car curtain for Xiao Jining, and said: "Your Highness, Yusheng has arrived."

Xiao Jining was still immersed in the shock brought by Jing Yuan's short sentence just now, and got out of the sedan chair without thinking too much, Jing Yuan accompanied him all the way in silence, until he reached the gate of Yusheng Residence, he bent down and approached Xiao Jining's ear Pan, said softly: "The color of ocher red is quite deep, close to the color of blood coagulated in white clothes, and the color of vermilion is quite bright, but the color will become darker when it meets water, and it is ocher red."

Jing Yuan's voice has always been low and hoarse, he stood behind Xiao Jining and spoke, every word he uttered from his thin lips made Xiao Jining feel as if he was in an ice cellar, and the voice slowly surrounded him from behind, as if a Zhang's gloomy and endless net wrapped Xiao Jining layer by layer.

Unexpectedly, he finally smiled and said: "However, the prince can't be the one who pushed the eighth prince into the water. After entering, His Highness will forget about it." Those who listened to it were terrified and terrified when they thought about it.

But how could Xiao Jining forget?

It is impossible for Jing Yuan to say these words to him completely meaningless. After returning to the house, Xiao Jining asked Xiao Dan: "Little Dan, what do you think those words Jing Yuan said mean?"

Xiaodan is also a talent, and he doesn't know how to write implicitly: "He is expressly stating that your prince is the murderer, didn't you guess it yourself?"

But Xiao Jining just didn't understand: "But why did the crown prince kill Brother Eight Emperor? And you said, Brother Eight Emperor died of illness."

"It's not that simple? Didn't the Eighth Prince say it all?" Xiao Dan said, "But the Eighth Prince is quite smart, there is not a single lie in what he said, but how others explain it depends on what that person thinks. "

That's right, the eighth prince said that he heard a man and a woman talking. According to the prince's strange appearance, the man must be him, but the woman doesn't know who it is, but she must not be the princess; the eighth prince also said, push him into the water The hem of the man's clothes is ocher red, but the eighth prince never said that the man was wearing ocher red clothes, and the ocher red clothes were worn by the guards. These words were said by the empress, and if the prince really pushed the eighth prince into the water , The hem of the clothes was accidentally stained with water, it was also ocher red!

Now Xiao Jining is almost certain that the Eighth Prince in the original book must have also fallen into the water, maybe Xiao Jining in the original book played well with the Eighth Prince, and he also chased him out to find someone, but neither Xiao Jining nor the Seventh Prince would be in the water , no one rescued him, the Eighth Prince didn't drown and died on the spot, but he must have fainted.

Emperor Xiao didn't have time to ask questions, but in order to prevent the eighth prince from speaking, the prince had no choice but to make the eighth prince shut up forever.

That's why there was an understatement in the history books that "the eighth prince Xiao Jichu died of illness, Shang, thirteen."

Xiao Jining sat in front of the table in a daze, still unable to believe that his elder brother, who was considered a gentleman with both ability and political integrity, could do such a thing.

Xiaodan also comforted him: "Don't be so sad, maybe the prince didn't do it? Think about it from another angle, being able to have a private meeting with the prince in the palace without being discovered proves that this woman also has some skills, maybe Was she the one who attacked the Eighth Prince in order to ensure that she would not be exposed?"

"Yes, this is also a possibility." Xiao Jining took a bath after returning to Yusheng Residence, and changed into clean clothes. While drinking the ginger soup sent by the maids to drive away the cold, he said to Xiaodan, "Father, let me go." Brother Seven and Eight Emperors and I are on vacation for a few days, and I will visit the Eighth Prince tomorrow, so I have to protect him!"

Xiao Dan was very disdainful: "I think you can't protect yourself, and you still go to protect the eighth prince."

Xiao Jining didn't know where his confidence came from: "It's okay, Jingyuan will protect me well."

Xiaodan also asked the same question: "Where did you get your confidence?"

"Oh, I wasn't dead when the Inheritance Seizure officially started. If he attacked me, he would have to wait until that time." Xiao Jining felt that he was extremely smart, "As expected of me, I can guess all of this."

Xiaodan: "..."

On the second day, Xiao Jining and Chun Ji said that they were going to visit the Eighth Emperor Brother at Concubine Li. With a happy heart, she agreed generously, and prepared cakes and fresh juice for Xiao Jining.

Who would have thought that after Xiao Jining saw the Eighth Prince, he almost didn't recognize him.

Xiao Jining looked at the young man with messy hair and smelly body in front of him, and didn't understand how the Eighth Prince became like this overnight.

Of course, Xiao Jining didn't recognize that the gorgeous woman with a ferocious face holding a soft whip and chasing the eighth prince to beat her was Concubine Li.

As soon as Xiao Jining entered the room, the Eighth Prince jumped up behind him like a monkey, Concubine Li's whip also flew towards Xiao Jining as if she had eyes, and with a "swoosh", the small scarf on Xiao Jining's head was interrupted up.

Xiao Jining:!

Xiao Jining stared wide-eyed and didn't dare to move, for fear that if Li Fei's whip was lowered or faster, he would be bald, and Mu Kui, who was holding the food box, was also stunned and stood aside in a daze, but there was still good news Yes, seeing that the Eighth Prince can run so well, it proves that he is not sick.

Concubine Li saw that it was Xiao Jining who came, so she put away the whip, smiled softly and waved to Xiao Jining: "Oh, it's Jining, are you here to see Ji Chu? Come here, come and sit here."

"Concubine Li, what's wrong with Brother Eighth Emperor?" Xiao Jining didn't dare to resist, and sat next to Concubine Li to behave cutely.

"This brat refused to touch the water after he came back yesterday. Not only did he refuse to take a bath, he even refused to drink saliva, let alone take medicine." Concubine Li wiped her face as if a sad matter had been brought up. There were no tears, "It's only been one night, and he's become so weak. If it takes a long time, won't he starve to death?"

Mu Kui: "..."

Xiao Jining: "..."

Xiao Jining thought about it, and rushed to the agile, agile, and vigorous body of the Eighth Prince when he just jumped behind him. How could this appearance have nothing to do with the word weak?

The author has something to say: After talking about the background of the drowning incident, we will start the method of time. There should not be a few chapters, hehe.
