The Indifferent Prince's Substitute

"Chi! Chi!" The little squirrel was thumping desperately in Rong Yuan's hands, but couldn't break free. Rong Yuan firmly pinched his wings and asked, "Are you also a little monster?"

The little squirrel ignored him, flapped its wings vigorously, and pecked at Rong Yuan's fingers with its sharp beak.

"Do you know where Lin Yan was taken?" Rong Yuan stretched out his hand to pinch its beak, his eyes fell on the plant with small yellow flowers next to him, and asked suspiciously, "This...is it the little prince? "

He remembered seeing this little flower in the palace before. Lin Yan was very precious and watered it every day.Then it suddenly disappeared, and now it suddenly appeared again.Thinking about it carefully, the time when this little flower appeared before was about the same as the time when the little prince appeared in his mansion.

Seeing that she couldn't break free from his grasp, the little squirrel simply stopped struggling, closed her eyes and remained motionless, pretending to be dead.Rong Yuan stretched out his hand to fiddle with the little flower, let go of the little squirrel's beak, and said: "The little prince left a letter saying that he is going to find Lin Yan, he is a child and knows where to look for it? You take him there, So, do you know where Lin Yan was taken?"

The little squirrel was startled, it never expected that Rong Yuan was so smart, the little prince just left those words, and he guessed it right.

"I also want to find Lin Yan." Rong Yuan slowed down his tone, "I won't hurt him, and I'm worried about him too. You tell me where he was taken, and I'll take you and the little prince to find him. If you don't say..."

Rong Yuan paused for a moment, then said with a more threatening tone: "I will send the little prince back to the palace. As for you, I will lock you in a cage and not let you out."

Little squirrel: ...

The little squirrel opened her eyes angrily, glared at Rong Yuan, and said fiercely, "Let me go first."

Seeing that it finally opened its mouth, Rong Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, and let go of the fingers pinching its wings.

The little squirrel tilted its head and straightened the messed up feathers, then reluctantly said: "The little tree vine was taken away by his master."

Some time ago, it accidentally saw A Hua at Gu Zhiming's house, and it fell in love with A Hua at first sight, so it flew to Gu Zhiming's house every day, and recently it was busy chasing A Hua at Gu Zhiming's house.Yesterday it caught a bug and was courting Ah Hua, when the servants of the Gu Mansion talked in the hallway, saying that Princess Beiling is a monster, and many mages are hunting monsters in the palace.As soon as it heard that something was wrong, it dropped Ah Hua and flew back to the palace.When flying back, I happened to see the old man with white beard taking the little tree and vine away.

The old man with the white beard is Xiao Shuteng's master, whom he met on Longyuan Mountain many years ago.Therefore, seeing Xiao Shuteng being taken away, he was not worried.It was just very angry with these human beings. The little tree vine had never harmed anyone, and it helped them catch and destroy the bad siblings Zhao Sese and Zhao Qing.Even because of helping humans, Zhao Sese held a grudge and forced him to take half of the snake demon inner alchemy and turned into a little snake.In the end, he was regarded as a demon by human beings, and they gathered together to kill him.

The more the little squirrel thought about it, the angrier it became. It was going to fly to Lin Yan, but suddenly thought of the little prince.It and Lin Yan came down the mountain to find the fruit, but now that the fruit was found, it decided to go to the palace to take the little prince away, so that they would never have to go down the mountain again.

It quietly flew into the palace to find the little prince.The little prince was crying and being held down to study in the study room. When he heard that he was going to find Lin Yan, he no longer needed to study. He nodded happily, holding a writing brush in his little hand, and crookedly left a few words on the paper for the queen. Mammy fell asleep, and ran out following the little squirrel.

When encountering a tall palace wall, the little prince turned into a small vine, twisting and twisting against the wall and turning over.When they escaped from the palace, it was already late at night, the little prince yawned and couldn't run anymore, so the little squirrel led him back to the palace, prepared to rest for a night, and then set off on the road tomorrow morning.

It originally thought very well, let the little prince turn into a plant and rest in a flower pot for a night.Lin Yan suddenly turned into a monster and was taken away, the palace must be in chaos, no one will notice a bird and a potted plant on the windowsill.Unexpectedly, the little prince just fell asleep, and he was about to go to sleep, when Rong Yuan opened the door and came in, he stayed there and did not leave, and in the end, both him and the little prince were caught.

It turned out that the old man with the white beard was his master.After Rong Yuan listened, his uneasy heart finally let go.He continued to ask, "Do you know where he will be taken by his master?"

"It should be back to Longyuan Mountain." The little squirrel was listless, "Xiao Shuteng and I came from Longyuan Mountain, and his master should take him back."

"Longyuan Mountain?" Rong Yuan was taken aback, "You all grew up in Longyuan Mountain?"

"Well, we have lived in Longyuan Mountain since we were young, and it was the first time we went down the mountain in order to find fruits." The little squirrel nodded, raised its head to look at him, couldn't hold back after thinking, and said angrily, "If it wasn't for Because you are the benefactor of Xiaoshuteng, we have returned to Longyuan Mountain long after we found the fruit, so we will not stay here and be bullied by you humans!"

"Benefactor?" Rong Yuan's throat tightened, thinking that he already knew about Lin Yan, but he didn't expect that there were things he didn't know.He asked in a low voice, "I...why am I his benefactor?"

"...Because you once saved him." The little squirrel reluctantly said, "Ten years ago, he was a small tree vine that could not transform into shape. Once, he was dug out of the ground by a wild boar. His beard was exposed and he almost died from the sun, but you saved him and planted him in the soil again."

Rong Yuan was stunned, ten years ago he had just slaughtered the tribe that exterminated his mother's clan, he went to Longyuan Mountain to visit his mother's concubine's grave, and told her that he avenged his tribe.

He was in front of his mother's tomb, and saw a plant with small pale yellow flowers. For some reason, the small flower was dug out of the soil and lay on the ground. The flowers and leaves were all wilted, and it seemed that it was about to die.The little flower was very beautiful, but he moved his heart with pity by a ghost, planted the little flower in the soil again, and watered it before leaving.

At that time, he just did it casually, but he didn't expect that the little flower was actually Lin Yan?

Now that he had already said it, the little squirrel simply said it all, and said indignantly: "The human fell off the cliff and died on the spot. The little tree vine took his body unintentionally. Because he was looking for fruit, he pretended to be That human came to the capital. On the day you got married, he found out that you were the one who got married, and he was so happy. After he found Guozi, he didn’t want to leave, and wanted to stay by your side.”

Rong Yuan's heart felt warm and aching when he heard this, thinking of all the past since he and Lin Yan got married.Lin Yan has never been frightened by his left face, Lin Yan defends him in front of outsiders, Lin Yan always approaches him intimately.Most of the warmth he felt in his life came from Lin Yan, apart from his mother and concubine.

"I'll take you back to Longyuan Mountain to find him." Rong Yuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice.

"Sleep well, and I'll leave after I finish handling the palace affairs." Rong Yuan reached out to move the little prince from the window sill into the room, then patted the little oriole's head, and walked out with the door behind him.

Hearing the footsteps walking far outside the door, the little squirrel combed its feathers and snorted softly. It was not in vain that Xiao Shuteng liked this benefactor so much and was reluctant to leave him.This human prince is indeed not bad compared to other humans.

Thinking of someone taking it and the little prince back to Longyuan Mountain, it doesn't need to worry about how to get back.The little squirrel immediately relaxed, lay down on the table, buried her head under her wings, closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

Rong Yuan entered the palace after a brief wash, went to the queen first, dismissed the palace people, and told the queen that he would take the little prince to Longyuan Mountain to find Lin Yan.

"During the time I'm not in the palace, the court affairs will be handed over to Mr. Taifu, Mr. Xue and Mr. Gu for temporary handling. If they are undecided, they will come to ask the Pope's wife to make a decision." Rong Yuan said, "Little Prince I want to delay the enthronement ceremony until Lin Yan comes back. After all, I am going to Longyuan Mountain alone, if Master Lin Yan doesn't let him see me, the little prince can still help."

I still don't know what Master Lin Yan's attitude is towards human beings. With the little prince, the chances of meeting Lin Yan are higher.

The queen sighed and nodded, "Since the prince already knows where the princess has gone, then hurry up and bring him back. As for Yi'er, he has never been out of the capital. , you can no longer be so casual. Just tell the people in the Ministry of Rites that the little prince is sick and bedridden, and the enthronement ceremony will be postponed."

The queen is so understanding and reasonable, Rong Yuan said gratefully: "Thank you sister-in-law."

The queen smiled, "After the first emperor left, the harem was also cleaned up. I happen to be fine, so I can help you look into some things going on inside."

Coming out of the Queen's Palace, Rong Yuan took advantage of the dark to gather all the officials and announced that the young prince was ill and the enthronement ceremony was postponed.Then he called Gu Zhiming and the adults he selected to the imperial study room, saying that he had to leave the capital for an important business, and asked them to deal with the affairs of the court temporarily.

Everything was arranged properly, Rong Yuan hurried out of the palace and went back to the palace, the sky was already bright.The little prince shook the little flowers and leaves, woke up from his sleep, snorted and sucked himself out of the flowerpot, just climbed out of the flowerpot, and was about to turn back into a human body, when suddenly the door was pushed open, he was so scared , quickly hugged the flowerpot again, and crawled inside.

As soon as he climbed in and stuffed the roots indiscriminately, someone came in from outside the door.The little prince didn't dare to move, and pretended to be an ordinary plant.

Footsteps came to the table and stood still. After a while, he was suddenly picked up and walked out to the front yard.

Rong Yuan hugged the flowerpot and walked towards the gate. The carriage had already been prepared and stopped at the gate. Only Uncle Zhang in the palace knew that he was going to pick up Lin Yan, and everyone else only knew that he had something to go on a long trip.

Walking to the gate and getting into the carriage, the little squirrel had already flown up from the window first.Rong Yuan put down the flower pot in his arms, stretched out his fingers to poke the little flower on the little prince's head, and said, "Stop pretending, I know you are the little prince."

Little prince: ...

The little prince pretended not to hear, and the leaves didn't even move.

Rong Yuan paused and slowed down his voice, "I'll take you to find the princess."

real?The little prince immediately raised his head, and the flower on top of his head shook vigorously towards Rong Yuan.

"Turn back into a human." Rong Yuan flicked the little flower with his fingers.

The little prince immediately took himself out of the flowerpot again, and the next moment, a naked child appeared in the carriage.

The little prince wobbled into Rong Yuan's arms, grabbed his collar with his small hand, and the first thing he said was, "Shhhhh."

Rong Yuan: ...

Can't pee now.Rong Yuan stretched out and rubbed his head, and said: "Hold on for now, and wait until you leave the city."

When leaving the palace, the empress asked someone to pack a copy of the little prince's clothes and bring them out to Rong Yuan.Rong Yuan dug out a set of clothes from the side bag, and put them on for the little prince clumsily.

After getting dressed, Rong Yuan opened the food box and took out a still warm steamed stuffed bun and handed it to the little prince.The little prince hadn't had breakfast yet, so he was really hungry, so he picked it up with both hands and ate it.

When he got outside the city, Rong Yuan asked Li Feng to stop the car, carried the little prince down to pee, and then started on the road again.

This time to Longyuan Mountain, Rong Yuan only brought Li Feng to drive alone.Li Feng is his most trusted and loyal subordinate. He is very strict with his mouth. He never speaks nonsense when he is not allowed to say things.

It was the first time for the little prince to leave the capital, and he stood on a small stool and looked out of the window curiously.The little squirrel stood on his shoulder, chatting to him.In front of human beings, the little squirrel always speaks bird language, chattering non-stop, the little prince can understand it, and nodded earnestly with a small face.

"Take care of the little prince, I'll sleep for a while." Rong Yuan told the little squirrel, lay down and pulled the quilt and closed his eyes to sleep.He didn't sleep all night last night, now that he knew Lin Yan's whereabouts, he could finally rest in peace.

After leaving the city, the scenery outside was pretty much the same, the little prince got tired of watching it for a while, turned around and saw Rong Yuan sleeping under the quilt, climbed off the small stool, got into Rong Yuan's arms, yawned and closed his eyes eye sleep.

Rong Yuan was awakened by his movements, opened his eyes and looked down at the child in his arms, pulled the quilt to cover him, and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

In the hinterland of Longyuan Mountain, in a simple wooden house, the bald young monk looked around in distaste and asked, "Master, how long has it been since you came back, this wooden house is broken like this."

"Clean it up if you want, so much talk." Lin Yunhe, an old man with a white beard, patted the little apprentice's bald head angrily, took out a small white snake from his arms, put it on the only table that was cleaned up, and smiled. With a face full of kindness, he said, "Good apprentice, I'm back, your master."

"Little senior brother!" The bald-headed apprentice came over and called enthusiastically.

"This is your junior brother Xinghe." Lin Yunhe introduced to Lin Yan, "He is my new apprentice outside."

Lin Yan did not expect to meet the master who had been away for eight years at a critical moment.He opened his mouth to say hello to Junior Brother, but he couldn't say anything, and then he realized that he was no longer a human, but a snake.

And what makes people panic is that he can't change back!

Master, help me!Lin Yan raised his head to look at Lin Yunhe, and hurriedly crawled towards him.He turned into a snake for the first time, and he couldn't use the snake's body well, so he exerted too much force all of a sudden, and fell straight from the table to the ground, and fell dizzy.

"Don't worry, Master knows you won't be able to turn back into a human being." Lin Yunhe bent down to pick him up from the ground, held him in the palm of his hand, and comforted him, "Master will help you find a way."

Lin Yan felt a little more at ease after hearing this, and rubbed her head against Lin Yunhe's palm.

Lin Yan lay on Lin Yunhe's palm, and unconsciously closed her eyes.

"What's the matter, little brother?" Xinghe asked softly when he saw that the little snake had fallen asleep so quickly.

"It's cold on the mountain, and the snake is afraid of the cold, and he has just turned into a snake, so he needs a lot of rest." Lin Yunhe reached out and touched the little snake's head, and told the little apprentice, "Make a sleeping nest for your little brother."

Xinghe cleaned a corner of the bed, made a small bed with clothes, and put Lin Yan in it.

Lin Yan had a dream, which is not uncommon, but the people in the dream were Zhao Sese and her younger brother Zhao Qing.
