Chapter 795 - -letter from the border, eighth prince Zhou Xing’s head

“Originally, I had already finished my work and planned to rest for a few days, but I didn’t expect that there would be an unforeseen event in the palace.” Xiao ran sighed.

“Don’t worry,” Zi ‘er took the initiative to hold his hand.

“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.

The two of them ate breakfast and chatted about their daily life.

Although the conversation was not very meaningful, it was very happy.

After breakfast.

Xiao ran stood up from his chair, held her face, and kissed her. He smiled and said,”I’m going to work.”

“Yes.” Zi ‘er nodded.

He didn’t go to the Vermilion Bird Market, but went to Jingwen market.

He planned to make a trip to the divine sword guards before going to the Imperial prison. This place was closer and he did not need to take too many detours.

Moreover ...

Shen Lu might not be able to get up so early.

The truth was just as he thought. It was indeed a little early. Shen Lu didn’t get up either. She walked out of the courtyard and walked on the street, listening to the discussions of the people around her.

Fortunately, he wasn’t wearing a golden sword robe, nor was he wearing a Black Gold python robe. He was wearing the purple gold battle armor that Ling Qing ‘er had refined. His outer appearance had changed, and he was now wearing a black brocade robe.

It was dignified, domineering, and Noble.

He held the ancient painting fan in his hand.

Looking at the ancient painting fan, Xiao ran mumbled. He thought of what Qu Bo’ an had promised him, that Tong you mountain had let them live. It had been so long, but there was still no news from them.

Stood me up?

“You better not let me see you.” Xiao ran said.

Seeing that he had come, the people around him didn’t hold back and treated him like an ordinary rich young master.

Those who should be discussing were still discussing, but their wary gazes patrolled the streets, as if they were on guard against the patrolling Imperial Army and Yamen officers.

“Have you heard? Last night, the first Prince and the others knelt in front of the Vermillion Bird sect for the entire night. ”

“Nonsense! “My wife’s younger brother is on duty there. He came back from work today. I heard that all the princes came. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying loudly. It was earth-shattering. In the latter half of the night, even the princesses came. They knelt on the ground and cried. That scene, that commotion, tsk tsk! It’s a once in a hundred years encounter!”

“Really?”

“I’m a grandson if I lie to you. ”

“Could His Majesty have passed away?”

The other man was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his mouth and looked around nervously. When he saw that no one was paying attention to them, he let go of his mouth and glared at him reproachfully.

“Be careful of trouble from your mouth!”

“It’s a good thing you reminded me. Otherwise, we’d be in trouble,”

The two of them hurriedly left, not daring to stay here any longer.

Xiao ran furrowed his brows and looked in the direction of the Vermillion Bird sect. What was going on?

On second thought, he had a 70 – 80% guess.

The shocking change in the palace had probably spread out.

After all, these princes were not easy to deal with. No matter how much information was blocked, they still had people in the palace. Although people could not enter and leave, it was not impossible to send the news out.

As for why the first Prince and the others were kneeling there, it was naturally for their own benefit.

Regardless of whether Emperor Sheng Wen had passed away or not, since something had happened to him, it would be wrong if he did not show his loyalty at this time! It was to show his ‘filial piety’ and to let him know how ‘filial’ he was.

When he woke up, he would naturally settle the score.

Even if he didn’t deal with it openly, he would lose the right to compete for the Crown Prince.

The princesses who came later were even simpler. Even their brothers went. As the daughters of Emperor Sheng Wen, if they dared not to go ...

Just the Imperial censors alone could ‘implicate’ them and make them wish they were dead.

In addition, if the Imperial censor were to start scolding them, he could even run in front of them and point at their noses to scold them. They did not even dare to refute when they were being accused.

He shook his head.

“This show is getting more and more interesting,” he said with a teasing smile.

They passed by the soft water tofu shop.

After the rat plague, the business here was better than before.

The people of the capital probably understood one thing: no matter how much silver there was, if it was not spent, it would only be a cold number in their hands.

He didn’t know which would come first-accident or tomorrow.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Since that was the case, why not treat him better? To live a better life?

Shui Ling had just turned around. When she saw Xiao ran, she wiped her hands on her apron and trotted over. She smiled sweetly.”Why didn’t you come for breakfast?”

“I’m busy with work. ” Xiao ran said.

“Then, are you still eating today?”

“It’s already ...”

“Wait for me,” water Bell said before he finished.

He ran into the house, brought two herbal tea eggs and a set of osmanthus cake, and handed them over.

“No matter how busy you are with work, you have to remember to have breakfast.”

“Alright,” he said. Xiao ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He had wanted to say that he had already eaten, but he didn’t expect the girl to be so impatient.

He took out two taels of silver and handed it over.

Shui Ling didn’t accept it and waved her hand.”Go to work!”

Xiao ran placed the silver on the table and was about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, two diners at the side stood up after eating. They patted their butts and were about to leave with toothpicks in their mouths.

“You guys haven’t paid yet!” Water Bell stopped what she was doing and ran over.

The two of them looked like bandits. Their sleeves were rolled up, revealing their arms with tattoos. There was also a “skull” necklace as thick as a thumb around their neck, which seemed to be made of wood.

“You know who we are?”

“I don’t want to know! You have to pay for the food. ” Said water chime.

“This is fifth brother. In this area, there are people from the Yamen. We usually eat wherever we go, and other people have to pay a large sum of money. Seeing that it’s not easy for you two weak women to do business, we didn’t ask you for ‘sanitation fees’, and you still dare to stop us from asking for money?”
