Royal Guard Martial Arts Hall

"I've met the Fifth Prince." Chen Qi, the person in charge of the dojo and the commander of the guards, said unhurriedly when he saw the person coming.There was no respect at all in that tone, and his expression seemed a little arrogant.They know better than anyone else how this prince who looks different from ordinary people is treated in this palace.To be honest, he really didn't take this prince seriously.

"Lord Chen, the emperor has approved His Highness to choose a servant, and the maidservant will accompany His Highness to pick someone." Cai Yu, who came with Situ Li, said.

"I have already received the news yesterday. The Fifth Prince is here to invite you." Perhaps it was because Cai Yu was the supervisor of the slaves of the Jinxiu Palace and needed to treat Jinfei a little bit, or Liu Zhongyan had really taken care of it, and Chen Qi's attitude was slightly different. Converged a little.

"These children have been training for a while, and their age is similar to that of the fifth prince. Take whichever one the fifth prince likes." Chen Qi pointed to the children in front of him and said.

Situ Li glanced at the few people standing in a row, and frowned slightly.Except for the fifth one on the left, these people are either malnourished or listless.Could it be that the fifth person was arranged by Liu Zhongyan?Obviously, as long as there is no problem with the brain, the fifth one will be chosen.But... Situ Li hesitated.He doesn't want everyone around him to be arranged by others, and he doesn't want to be under the surveillance of others all the time!

While hesitating, a very unkind and impatient voice came into Situ Li's ears.

"Hurry up!" On the opposite side, two men who looked like guards escorted an eight or nine-year-old boy who was also dressed as a guard, walking towards this side.

"See Commander!" One of the guards stepped forward and said: "The junior guard Wang Xiqi, who was originally selected by the third prince, because he refused to obey the discipline, offended the prince and the prince, and was sent back by the concubine de concubine!"

"Disobedient to discipline? Offender next time?" Chen Qi glanced at the suppressed person, and said coldly: "Then give me a hundred sticks."

"Yes!" The guard pulled the man and walked towards the execution hall.

Situ Li glanced at the blood-stained boy out of the corner of his eye, and a gleam of red pupil flashed quickly.Just now when he heard that he was going to be punished with a hundred sticks, the boy suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Qi fiercely.The sharp, unwilling, and faintly desperate eyes all fell into Situ Li's eyes.

A hundred sticks, I'm afraid the boy's body is made of iron and he can't bear it.Situ Li glanced at the fifth person, then at the lifeless boy who was escorted by the guards, hesitated for a few seconds and finally said, "Stop!"

Hearing the shout, the guard stopped and looked back.Situ Li looked straight at the two of them, and said expressionlessly, "Leave him behind."

Stared at by those red pupils, the two guards froze for a moment, and when they saw Situ Li's appearance clearly, they hurriedly said, "I've seen the fifth prince!" Given their status and status, the two dare not be presumptuous.

"Leave the person." Situ Li repeated again.

"This...?" The guard looked at him, and then at Chen Qi, with a perplexed look on his face.And Chen Qi also looked at him curiously, what does the fifth prince want to do?Is it possible to leave the person assigned to him by his grandfather alone and choose this person who just offended the Third Prince?

"Commander Chen, this guard is now without an owner, so the hall wants him." Situ Li pointed at the boy who was staring at him in astonishment because of his words.

"Your Highness!" Cai Yu looked at him incredulously, and scolded in a cold voice, "How could you choose this child!" Is this monster acting stupid again?

"Since the slave made a mistake, it should be taken for granted by the master. Commander Chen, don't you think so?" Situ Li looked at Chen Qi, and said with a slight smile, "Since he offended Brother Sanhuang, then let this hall be the emperor." Brother, teach me well, lest this blind dog slave annoy Brother Huang again!"

oh?Chen Qi was quite surprised by Situ Li's remarks, and thought, could it be that the fifth prince is trying to curry favor with the third prince?Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the person in front of him again.This person is unknown in the palace and rarely appears in front of people.The most rumors in the palace are that this person was born with a strange appearance and a cowardly personality. Not only was he not favored, but he was also hated by the palace people. He even saw him being bullied by other princes and daughters when he was on patrol. Why does he seem to be a different person now? It seems... Glancing at the fifth person, he sneered in his heart, never mind him, he gave General Liu face, but if he doesn't want it, then it's none of his business.

"Since the fifth prince said so, why don't you let him go?" Chen Qi said lazily.

"Yes!" The guard quickly untied him.

"Your Highness, how could you do this!" Cai Yu glared at him angrily.It was because she was afraid that something might go wrong that she followed.I didn't expect that this monster didn't choose people well, and even invited people who offended the third prince. Isn't this making things difficult for the third prince?

"Cai Yu, pay attention to your identity!" Situ Li turned his head and looked at Cai Yu coldly, the warning in his eyes was beyond words.

Caicoon was stared at by those red pupils, her face turned blue and then pale, but she couldn't attack, and was stunned for a while because of the extreme anger.

Situ Li ignored her and went straight to Wang Xiqi, "Did you hear that? This hall is your master now, follow me back to Jinxiu Palace." After speaking, he turned and left.

Wang Xiqi raised his head and looked at the back of the person walking in front, with a complicated expression on his face, but he was not allowed to think too much. It was no longer suitable for him to stay here, so he withdrew his expression and followed Situ Li with his weak legs.

Cai Cocoon looked at Situ Li who left her behind, stomped her feet fiercely, and finally gritted her teeth to follow.

She wants to see how this monster explains it to the empress!

After returning to the small courtyard where he lived, Situ Li dismissed the palace servants, and just then took a good look at him.

This person looked a little older than himself, with a cold expression, and he had a stubborn temperament.How could he ignore the bleeding wound on his body and not even say a word?

"what's your name?"

"Wang Xiqi." The man hesitated for a moment before uttering the three words. His voice was a little hoarse, but it made him feel repulsed and guarded.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Those indifferent black eyes looked straight at him, without fear or disgust, just looking at him so coldly.

"No." Wang Xiqi said with pity on his words like gold.

"Very good." Situ Li bent his lips slightly, and stared at him with red pupils, "From today on, you are mine, I don't care what your identity was before or what hatred you had, as long as you are mine for a day, then You have to follow my orders for a day! I just want you to show your loyalty and never betray me, Situ Li, and you can do whatever else you like..." He said, throwing a white porcelain bottle over, "Let's deal with you first. Injuries on your body, you will live here from now on."

Hearing this, Wang Xiqi glanced at him in surprise, then stared at the medicine bottle in his hand with complicated eyes.In the end, he still lowered his head, knelt on one knee and said, "Yes, master."

"Let's talk about the ugly things first, and you must know what my status is in the palace. Just because I saved you this time, it doesn't mean I can save you next time, so don't do stupid things. You just need to be good at what I don't care about." It's fine for the favored Fifth Prince to attend to me, and for the rest, I can handle it. But when necessary, you just have to put on a show and just bear it."

Wang Xiqi didn't expect Situ Li to say such straightforward words at all, so he froze for a while.The Fifth Prince in front of him was nothing like the one in the rumors.Why?

Jinlan Palace

"Your Majesty, that's the way it is! Your Highness, regardless of your servants' obstruction, insisted on picking that guard who just offended the Third Prince as your guard!" Cai Yu said through gritted teeth.

"What?" Concubine Jin raised her eyebrows, and shouted with anger on her face, "There's no reason for that! Someone, call that scoundrel here, I want to see what his reason is!"

Situ Li was not surprised when he heard that Concubine Jin wanted to see him. He had already prepared a speech when he asked Wang Xiqi to come over, and he was confident.Moreover, he didn't do it on a whim.Although he didn't choose the person Liu Zhongyan arranged for him, maybe he lost some help because of this, but he didn't regret it.

Where there is loss, there is gain.Xiao will also agree with his approach when he knows it.

After telling Wang Xiqi to rest well, Situ Li followed the maid to see Concubine Jin.

"I've heard what happened from Cai Yu, what do you have to say?" Concubine Jin said slowly as she watched Kou Dan's nails as if nothing had happened.His tone was so flat that he couldn't see the anger just now.

"My son will be studying in the Taiyuan Academy in two days, so I think, that person offended Brother Sanhuang before, if I help Brother Sanhuang out of this bad breath, then..." Situ Li smiled, and said The meaning goes without saying.

oh?Concubine Jin raised her head and looked at him in surprise, this scoundrel seemed to be really enlightened.So he warned: "I have already arranged attendants for you. Tomorrow, I will go to study in Taiyuan Academy. You should prepare well when you go back, so don't lose my face!"

"Yes. Your servant will leave!" Situ Li withdrew respectfully.
