Lost Charm

"I reject."

Based on the principle of having nothing to do in prison, Yu Chijiong and Xu Qin lay lazily on the bed during the day, talking with their eyes closed, as a rest after a sleepless night last night.It's a pity that not long after they lay down, the eunuch who served the prince personally at the banquet came. Of course, he was not here to visit, but to convey the prince's will.

The prince thought that there is no sealed wall in the world, and what happened last night will eventually get out. Rather than expecting this, it is better to pre-emptively blame the murder on King Jing, and then portray Yu Chijiong and the others as righteous men who "abandoned the dark and turned to the bright". Used to testify against King Jing.

Unexpectedly, before the eunuch finished speaking, Yu Chijiong flatly refused.

"I said, father-in-law, there are many ways for King Jing to trap the prince at a disadvantage, and he would not go to the East Palace to murder the court lady. The prince is now a victim. It didn't take long for me to be decapitated. Slandering the royal family without any reason is a capital offense. You should tell the prince to think of a feasible way before you come to be a lobbyist." Yu Chijiong was worried that yesterday's banquet and today's refusal would cause the prince to say "Sure enough, I'll kill him." "Good", so he deliberately choked the eunuch, which was an explanation.

If the words are gentle, the eunuch will definitely not bring the words, but most of the ironic words will be brought. After all, he still has to complain to the prince about how arrogant he is, doesn't he?

Sure enough, the eunuch was so angry that one Buddha was born and the other two ascended to heaven. He stared at Yu Chijiong and said angrily, "Don't drink toast and drink fine wine. Our family advises you to be a little more enlightened. Do you think the prince dare not touch you?"

"Didn't he move? Otherwise, why would I be here?"

Under such circumstances, Yu Chijiong smiled like a spring breeze blowing on his face. He clearly wanted to annoy people, but his goal was overfulfilled—the eunuch was so angry that he walked away immediately.

"Brother, is it okay to offend the crown prince like this?" After the people left, Xu Qin walked slowly to Yu Chijiong's side. After fighting the crown prince yesterday, he still decided not to speak.

"Of course not, our three lives are in the hands of the prince." Yu Chijiong pulled him back to the bed which was far away from the guards, and explained in a low voice: "The prince's rubbish idea is that we die immediately, and instead we are in prison. He doesn't dare touch us."

"What do you mean?"

"During Prince Jing's confinement, the crown prince robbed and then killed two of his aides. After the confinement was lifted, Prince Jing used this incident to make trouble, which really affected the crown prince's reputation."

"But it's rumored that we are male favorites..."

"As soon as we die, we will be promoted. At that time, even Sun Lie will be promoted to the staff. Killing a male favorite is no big deal, but killing a brother's courtier is a big deal. So now we are pretending to be tigers, and temporarily saved our lives."

Xu Qin responded and said in a low voice for a long time, "...I don't know what's wrong with Xu Yanfeng."

Yu Chijiong patted Xu Qin's head and said: "He will be fine, after all he is satisfied with pigeons."

Xu Qin nodded, with a sour tone unconsciously, and said, "He is indeed like this."

Not long after noon, another eunuch came, but this time it was not to send a message, but to lead him out of the prison and put him in a dilapidated small courtyard that no one cares about.The eunuch who led the way was different from the one in the morning, his tone was very tight, Yu Chijiong tried several times but couldn't find anything, he only knew that it was an order from the crown prince for no reason.

The eunuchs left when they brought them in. There was only one entrance and exit to the courtyard, and two guards, one on the left and one on the right, acted as door gods, not to mention that there were a few masters who Yu Chijiong and Xu Qin were familiar with hidden nearby.

"It's hard work for the prince to come up with this place to lock up people."

Yuchijiong looked around hastily. From the outside, it looks like this place is more open than the prison, but the things in the room are moldy and old. You have to be careful when using it, lest it breaks and you can't use it. After all, this place is worse than a prison. To be poor.He gently opened a certain half-covered cabinet, and a beautiful white fox was sleeping half dead inside. He grabbed it out with one hand and said, "Look who's here?"

The awakened fox stood firmly on the ground with four paws, protested to Yu Chijiong a few times, and then slowly transformed into a human form, saying: "I'm sleeping, what's the noise!"

"We've just arrived here, and we want a piece of fox fur as a quilt." Yu Chijiong pulled the chair and sat down, turned his head to Xu Qin and said, "It's a bit dirty here, Ji Hai wants to sit on my lap?"

Xu Qin blushed, but still gave him a warning look, and said, "No need."

Sun Lie looked at the two men angrily, and said, "What illusion did you give the prince in prison yesterday, so that he wants to lock you up here?"

Yuchi Jiong's gaze fell on Sun Lie, he immediately sensed something was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong with this yard?"

Sun Lie yawned and said, "It's okay for you humans. There should be a formation in the ground here to make the monsters who come in weak. You see, I didn't even want to maintain my human form just now."

"There is a demon around the prince." Yu Chijiong frowned, "He must know that those two murders were not done by humans."

"We met King Hui yesterday." Xu Qin saw that the topic had started, so he seriously answered Sun Lie's question "What did you do in prison?" He briefly talked about the conversation with King Hui, but it was a pity that Sun Lie didn't Heart to listen.

"Wait for me." Sun Lie turned back into a fox after saying this, and said, "This is better, you continue to talk."

Xu Qin blinked and said, "I'm done."

Sun Lie:  …

Yu Chijiong couldn't help laughing, and said: "Sun Lie, are you good at all, or go back to sleep if you can't."

Sun Lie glared at Yu Chijiong, and said, "Whether I'm okay or not is something Prince Jing cares about. Shut up."

Yuchi Jiong raised his eyebrows and looked at the fox who only dared to speak behind King Jing's back, and said, "I will relay the words to King Jing verbatim."

Sun Lie was not afraid of the other party's threat at all, he snorted coldly and said: "Then you have to get out with your life, he can hide King Hui, so naturally he can hide you, a powerless passerby."

"I remember that the crown prince and King Hui were born not from the same mother. Since when did they get along so well?" Yu Chijiong decisively changed the subject when he was brought up to a painful point.

"You have to ask me about this. King Hui's birth mother was a famous concubine, and she was named Concubine Shun only after giving birth to a prince. She usually has no sense of existence, and her family's influence is not strong, so don't mention it. On the contrary, the birth of a prince is a legend. As a baby, he was brought back from the summer palace in person by the emperor, but his birth mother was unlucky, but he was established as the crown prince. Every time he said that the prince's birth was unknown, the palace members were repaired by the emperor, so there were rumors that the emperor loved the crown prince's birth mother very much. But she had no luck and died in childbirth." When Sun Lie said this, he suddenly regained his energy, and his eyebrows were beaming when he said it.

Xu Qin cast a strange look at Sun Lie and said, "How can you be so clear?"

Sun Lie said dissatisfied: "Xu Qin, what kind of eyes do you have? Du Lei is very familiar with these gossips, and I will naturally know it after hearing more."

"Okay, let's summarize the current situation first." Yuchi decided to have an intelligence integration meeting because of his addiction to clothes.Seeing Xu Qin nodding, he immediately acted like a boss - he didn't speak, but listened, and said, "Ji Hai, come and analyze it."

Xu Qin was taken aback, Yuchijiong did these things all along, how could he hug him all of a sudden.However, he quickly came back to his senses, first sorted out his thoughts in his head, and then said: "We have two major problems now. One is the bloody case. An unknown monster killed us for no reason and then threatened us. Two people were killed. The second was a member of the royal family, the prince exuded an inhuman aura, and King Hui turned into a human figure. The two people who were fighting for your life are now colluding, and King Hui pretended to be unconscious for unknown reasons.”

Yu Chijiong added: "Now there is one more thing, we are somehow treated as monsters, in order to protect the prince's little dream, we can only pretend to be weak here."

"As soon as you came outside, there were a few more people, that is, the "big inner masters" in your mouth. If you are monsters, with this formation, you can't live without wanting to sleep. Why do you need them?" Sun Lie fought in the form of a fox. He yawned, looking cute and novel, making Xu Qin stare at him without blinking.

Xu Qin was distracted, and Yu Chijiong couldn't be better, but not only was he not concentrating, but his body was actively showing his master's distracted side - he pulled Xu Qin who was sitting beside him with one hand, and forcibly placed him on his lap , put his head to his ear and whispered: "Sun Lie looks better or I look better, huh?"

Sun Lie rolled his eyes, jumped from the chair back to the cabinet lightly, and said, "If you want to pretend to be a monster, I suggest you check the courtyard for knife marks while you still have the strength. I want to go back to sleep. By the way , that bed is rotten, you only have to sleep on the floor.”

Yu Chijiong was concentrating on teasing Xu Qin, and had no time to distract Sun Lie.

When the sun was setting, Sun Lie woke up again. He stretched and planned to go back to sleep, but when he thought of the couple outside, he immediately lost sleepiness, so he simply slipped out of the closet to have a look at them.

"What?" As soon as Sun Lie fell to the floor, the layout of Sun Lie's room changed immediately. The table and chairs were all gone, and the largest piece of furniture in the room—the collapsed bed was also gone, replaced by a simple and neat one. planks.

"Didn't you see the bed? It's so rare." Yu Chijiong walked in slowly from the door, holding the original chair in the room in his arms.

"What did you do while I was asleep?" Sun Lie looked at the new bed in disbelief, and suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

"We found a raw hatchet in the back, which was barely usable, so we cut down the trees outside to make a new bed. Fortunately, we finished it in time for the evening. We just moved the things out to facilitate the bed. Now we are done. Everything returns to the original position." Xu Qin followed Yu Chijiong, also moving the chair.

"Xu Qin, do you know how to make a bed?"

Sun Lie couldn't help walking forward, and when he was about to jump onto the wooden board, Yu Chijiong grabbed him and prevented him from going up. The eyes of one fox and one person met in the air, sparking a fierce battle.

"This trivial matter is not difficult." Xu Qin grew up in the mountains, and he had to do everything by himself, and he had to learn a little bit about everything, otherwise, when something happened, it would be nothing but chaos.He didn't notice the silent war between Yu Chijiong and Sun Lie, he put down his chair and went out to move other things.

Sun Lie: Let go of me.

Yu Chijiong: Don't let go, if you let go, you will jump on it.

Sun Lie: Don't be so selfish, let me lie down.

Yuchi Jiong: No, you have body odor.

Sun Lie:  …
