After I feel sorry for the cannon fodder prince, I wear a book

After the birthday banquet, the court turned upside down.

Yu Yinjiang was furious and ordered a strict investigation of the identities of several assassins.All the guards, palace maids, and ministers who were unable to appear on the stage for no reason became the focus of investigation.

When the imperial army arrived yesterday, the four or five assassins had almost run away, and only one left behind was caught, the one who hijacked Yu Yi.Now this person is locked in the sky prison of Dali Temple. Yu Yinjiang personally sent someone to watch, so as not to let this person run away, let alone let this person commit suicide before asking questions, partly because he stabbed the emperor. It's a felony, and part of the reason... is the identity of this person, which is really unexpected.

As an old man who has worked in Dali Temple for ten years, Aze felt that he was really unlucky.

His family didn't come to the banquet yesterday for some reason, and he was the only one who was qualified to attend the banquet in Dali Temple. When the assassin attacked, there were not many military officers present, so he rushed up without being greeted, and drew his sword consciously. After stabbing his arm, he was called by Yu Yinjiang to interrogate the prisoner before he had time to rest.

Aze trotted over, and the captured man knelt in front of the hall with his head down, looking hopeless.

This is also normal, which assassin would be happy to be caught, A Ze didn't think much, and walked over to salute Yu Yinjiang.

"His Majesty."

"Well, where's Zhou Keming?" Yu Yinjiang stood with his hands behind his back, with a gloomy expression.

"Your Excellency seems to be investigating a case, and he left the city overnight a few days ago." Aze replied respectfully, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the man on the ground clenched his fists.

He felt strange, but before he had time to think about it, Yu Yinjiang ordered him to start the interrogation.

"Let's have a general interrogation first, and then take it back to Dali Temple. I want to see who is so courageous!"

"...?" Interrogation in front of the hall?Aze was a little puzzled, but Zhou Keming wasn't there, so he didn't dare to talk too much, and motioned to the guards on both sides to pull the head up, and took a step forward to tear off his mask.

It was a good thing to talk about it, everyone was stunned in place, and they never expected this result.

Aze subconsciously turned his head to look at Yu Yinjiang, who was stunned for a moment, kicked the assassin to the ground——

"Zhou Keming! That's how you repay me!?"

Now Aze remembered the situation in the palace at that time, and couldn't help being afraid.

Why can't their adults think about it, and want to assassinate the emperor?

Yu Yinjiang kicked him and was still angry, so he stepped forward and kicked again. Zhou Keming was injured, lying on the ground gasping for breath, neither pleading nor begging for mercy.

Aze winked at him frantically and asked what was going on, but the latter just glanced at him and turned his head in silence.

Yu Yinjiang panted heavily, and he didn't want to interrogate, so he directly ordered Zhou Keming to be imprisoned in the prison.At the same time, the imperial doctor who went to see Ye Zhiqiu happened to report back and forth that Ye Zhiqiu's sudden "illness" was poisoned.

Only then did Yu Yinjiang realize that all of this was planned. Someone had long planned to kill the king on the day of the birthday banquet, collude with his courtiers, and poison his most trusted subordinate. Blood splashes on the spot!

Xiao Tan...

Yu Yinjiang squinted, watching Aze take Zhou Keming away.

And that Xiao Zhengze must have hidden something from him!Xiao Tan's identity as the "Eldest Prince" of Prince Xiao's Mansion is probably not as simple as he said.

Li Fuquan held the cloak and put it on Yu Yinjiang. The latter pondered for a moment. He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or asking him: "There are many people who want to harm me. Xiao Zhengze...is it related to this matter?"

Li Fuquan stood behind him with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes: "Your Majesty, just wait for Young Master Xiao to wake up and ask, and then he will know the answer."

Yu Yinjiang nodded slightly, and murmured: "What you said is reasonable, but Xiao Qin was seriously injured to save me this time, I'm afraid this child Yu Yi will feel distressed for a long time..."

"Your Highness and the princess are in harmony, His Majesty should be happy."

Yu Yinjiang didn't speak anymore, and after a while he said: "Order people to watch Xiao Zhengze, don't startle the snake first."

"Yes."

The cool wind blows into the corridor wrapped in water vapor.

Yu Yinjiang looked at the approaching dark clouds in the sky, showing some thoughtful expression.

……

The "rain is about to come" outside is unknown to everyone in Duanwang Mansion.

Yesterday, when Duan Fangzhu saw Yu Yi helping Xiao Qin come back, blood was all over his coat and robe, and Xiao Qin was pale and sweaty again, it scared him half to death, and he sent someone to call Jiang Come over cold.

Yu Yi only had time to instruct Yue Yang to keep an eye on the movements in the palace and Dali Temple, then plunged into the room and never came out again.

Jiang Han didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he wrapped himself in some clothes and ran to the main courtyard, praying that Mr. Xiao would be safe, otherwise His Highness would skin him if he couldn't be rescued.

Xiao Qin bled too much, but fortunately the imperial physician in the palace had already stitched it up, but it was a little cracked on the way back, Jiang Han dealt with it again under the menacing coercion of Yu Yi, and hurriedly went out to bring someone to decoct the medicine. Don't dare to stay in the house too much.

Yu Yi dismissed the servants, changed Xiao Tan's clean inner clothes herself, moved the stove closer, sat by the bed and watched over, and would not go out no matter who asked him.Fortunately, although the current situation is not clear, it is not critical, otherwise Yue Yang would almost want to slam his head against the pillar to death.

The room was very quiet, Xiao Tan fell asleep, breathing barely audible, Yu Yi stared at him for a long time, then reached out to caress his eyebrows and eyes.

"Your Highness, the medicine is ready." Jiang Han poked his head in.

"Well, let it go," Yu Yi waved at him, "Come here."

Jiang Han hesitated and walked to the bed.

"Your Highness... do you have any orders?"

"Yesterday you told me that Xiao Qin had a skin injury and it's not serious." Yu Yi's tone was dangerous.

"...Yes?" Jiang Han was a little uncertain, it was indeed just a skin trauma, and fortunately no internal organs were injured.

"Well, he's been sleeping for a day and a night, and he hasn't woken up yet. You told me that he's fine?" Yu Yi tried her best to restrain herself.

Doctor Jiang is not easy either.

Physician Jiang did his best.

But why... why is Xiao Tan still awake?

"This..." Jiang Han tremblingly said, "Young Master Xiao has lost too much blood, people with insufficient energy and blood really... really need to sleep more."

Yu Yi rubbed the center of her brows wearily, and waved her hand to signal him to back down.

He looked at the person on the bed with a restrained demeanor and a gentle face. Even when he was asleep, he didn't have any unnecessary small movements or expressions.

Yu Yi said to herself, "Since Xiao Zhengze's matter has been settled, I will obediently stay by my king's side from now on..."

No one responded.

It was raining again outside the window, Yu Yi got up and moved the stove closer, and sighed for a while.

……

Xiao Qin knew that he was dreaming, but he soon fell into it. The Prince Duan's Mansion in the dream was the same as now, the red wedding silk had not been taken off yet, and he and Yu Yi had just married.

"Young master, go out?"

"Well, let's go shopping." Although I don't know why, the people in the palace seem to be less strict than Xiao Zhengze's. When they see him, they don't call him princess, but call him son.

"Let Qingyuan follow you?"

"That's fine." Xiao Tan doesn't care, he is the princess now, and the princess can't go to the streets casually, Yu Yi doesn't bother him, but just sends a servant to follow him, whether it's for monitoring him or not, it's already very good.

After coming to the capital for half a month, Xiao Qin forced himself to adapt, trying to act according to the thinking of the people in the court.

Master said, survival of the fittest.

Even though it's a bit hard to get over it, since it's here, he should learn to accept it.

"My lord, where are we going?" Qing Yuan trotted after him.

"Walk casually." Xiao Qin didn't bring a sword, and hung a sapphire pendant around his waist, which was given by Yu Yi on the day of the wedding.

When he first came to the capital, he was still carrying the sword with him like before, and he felt uncomfortable after leaving for a while. Later, he found that there was really no need to use the sword. If there was any danger, bare hands would suffice.

"What's the fun?" Xiao Qin asked Qingyuan aimlessly, passing by a seemingly bustling street, and asked casually.

"There is a stall in front, they sell good sweet-scented osmanthus candy, and His Highness likes it too." Qing Yuan said hastily.

"Well," Xiao Qin nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "Go and buy some to take back."

"Bring it to His Highness?" Qing Yuan was a little stunned, the young master and His Highness always quarreled, he thought...

"Otherwise?" Xiao Qin pursed his lips, as if thinking of something, took out his money bag and threw it to Qing Yuan, "Take my money."

"Oh." Qing Yuan nodded in confusion, ran away with the money bag in his hands, and came back after a while, handing Xiao Qin a pack of warm osmanthus candies.

"Young master, here it is!"

"Take it, go back later, don't say I bought it."

"...?" Qingyuan didn't understand, but he didn't dare to ask, and obediently followed behind Xiao Qin with his bag in hand.

The two of them wandered outside until it was getting late, and then they leisurely returned to the mansion.

"Your Highness," as soon as he entered the door, Qing Yuan immediately ran to Yu Yi and handed him the sweet-scented osmanthus candy, "It's still hot!"

Yu Yi took it and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Did you buy it?"

Qingyuan was stuck, secretly watching Xiao Tan's expression.

The latter walked into the house without changing his face, and said, "I met you on the street. He said you like it, so he asked to buy it."

Xiao Tan was a little annoyed, he forgot that the sweet-scented osmanthus candy tastes better when it's hot, and he shouldn't have been out for so long if he knew it.Forget it, just eat what you have, and this person shouldn't be that particular?

Yu Yi nodded, without any unnecessary expression on her face, she casually put the sweet-scented osmanthus candy on the table, and sent Qing Yuan to ask someone to prepare dinner.

Xiao Tan sat down at the table, staring at the candle light in a daze.

Yu Yi coughed twice: "Tomorrow I will enter the palace with the king for the birthday banquet, are you ready?"

This person is always in a daze, and he doesn't know what to think when he is talking. Could it be that marrying him is so wronged that he can't even lift his spirits all day long?

"Okay," Xiao Qin recovered, frowned subconsciously, and said again, "There is nothing to prepare, just follow His Highness's arrangement."

Yu thought he was frowning, so he knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Why, Mr. Xiao thinks that we people are usually only clever with words, so boring?"

He really didn't understand how Xiao Zheng raised his son, and how he could raise Xiao Tan with such a "clean and upright" temperament.If the princes of the aristocratic family were like him, those people in the court would have nothing to do all day long.

"Your Highness is serious." Xiao Tan shook his head, thought for a moment, then pushed Osmanthus Tang towards Yu Yi.

"..."

Yu Yi pretended not to see, and buried her head in her meal.

Xiao Tan sighed. If he had the chance, he would really like to explain clearly to Yu Yi, but people in the capital place so much emphasis on birth and family background, if Yu Yi knew his true identity, he would not know whether he would marry him or not.

The meal was very uncomfortable, the two of them didn't know what it was like, but the servants standing around didn't dare to make a sound.Although I'm used to the Young Master and Your Highness being like this, the two always keep a cold face, they can't freeze each other, but they can freeze others to death...

"Your Highness, I'm going back to my room first."

After eating, Xiao Qin stood up and said goodbye to Yu Yi, who responded by raising his eyelids.

The servants breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly went forward to clean up the leftovers, preparing to serve Yu Yi to bed.

Xiao Qin went out and turned left, walked five steps to his room, opened the door and went in, and saw the narrow note on the table at a glance.

Xiao Zhengze delivered another letter.

A few days ago, there was a sudden order from the womb for him to take up the post in the Ministry of War. He thought it was arranged by Yu Yi, so he went without thinking.Unexpectedly, the two chatted there for a few words, only to realize that this matter had nothing to do with Yu Yi.That night, Xiao Qin received the first note, which was densely filled with Xiao Zhengze's "heartfelt words", which roughly meant asking him to help monitor Yu Yi, so that he could enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future.

But who is Xiao Tan?Even the most favored eunuch around Yu Yinjiang was unwilling to flatter him, so how could he help Xiao Zhengze do such sneaky things?

He didn't hesitate for a moment after reading the note, and immediately put it on the fire.Unexpectedly, a new one was sent in a few days later. At first, he persuaded him in a friendly voice, but the most recent one has already started to threaten Master and Mistress. I don’t know what Xiao Zhengze wants to say today, probably because he thinks it’s okay for him to move out of Master. It is impossible to refuse again, so I am ready to confess the matter to him.

Xiao Qin walked over with a blank expression.

Master and wife are very important, but it is impossible for him to do something of betrayal. Wouldn't that be a failure to live up to the teachings of the master for more than 20 years.Besides, what's wrong with Yu Yi, why did he suffer this innocent disaster and be betrayed by the closest person?

He really didn't understand the twists and turns of those people in the court, and he didn't know how to use tricks to stop Xiao Zhengze.But if it is really impossible, he still has a sword that can kill people.

After all, he has fallen to this point, murdering for his life, after his death, Yu Yi can find someone from a simple background to marry back home, and he doesn't have to choose between Yu Yi and his teacher.

Xiao Qin felt that his idea was correct.

But when he drew out the sword, looking at the blade that had not been stained with blood for a long time, and seeing his own shadow on the sword, he felt sad for no reason.

Perhaps it was because he was reluctant to part with Master and Mistress, he put his sword back into its sheath, thinking to himself.
