After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

Qin Xuechuan smiled: "My lord, what are you doing? I am not interrogating you. If you have something to say truthfully, you will return to your residence unscathed."

Zou Zhi hurriedly said, "Yes!"

Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly said again: "Actually... this letter was indeed written by the prince to you, His Royal Highness, but the prince asked the minister to keep it safe, saying that it will be given to you in a few months."

Qin Xuechuan frowned after hearing such an answer: "You mean that you have been in contact with Xiao Shizi?"

Zou Zhi quickly replied: "Yes, since the son came to Fengdu, I received a letter from Prince Xiao, saying that you don't need to be noticed by others when you want to communicate with the son. This will also keep the son safe."

When Qin Xuechuan heard this, he looked at him again and asked, "Then, does Xiao Yu know that you poisoned me?"

When Zou Zhi heard Qin Xuechuan's words, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly said, "What is your Highness talking about? Murdering the prince is a serious crime against the nine clans. Even if I have a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to poison Your Highness! "

"You won't tell the truth?" Qin Xuechuan smiled coldly.

Seeing him like this, Zou Zhi was so frightened that he told the truth: "It is true that the lord ordered the minister to poison His Highness, and then help other princes to succeed. However, since the son came to Fengdu, he met the minister. Tell me to never hurt His Highness, otherwise I will die without a place to bury you."

After Qin Xuechuan heard his words, he lowered his head and pondered for a while.

Sure enough... Xiao Rong wanted him to die a long time ago. Whether he, the crown prince, will do it or not is indeed a question.But Xiao Yu probably hadn't met him when he first arrived in Fengdu, why did he tell Zou Zhi such a thing?

Qin Xuechuan looked at Zou Zhi again at this moment: "Are these words you said true?"

Zou Zhi kowtowed and said, "This time, I can guarantee with my whole family that what I said is true! Otherwise, I will surely be wiped out."

Qin Xuechuan frowned slightly after hearing him make such an oath.How dare Zou Zhi swear on his family?

"Of course, if what you said is not true, it means that you really murdered the prince, and you will also be wiped out."

Seeing that Qin Xuechuan was still suspicious, Zou Zhi wanted to pretend to slam into the red pillar in the main hall: "Since His Highness still refuses to believe it, I can only apologize with death!"

Seeing this, Qin Xuechuan winked at the person next to him, and then two guards stopped him.

Qin Xuechuan walked up to him while smiling at the moment: "Lord Zou is really cunning! If Master Zou wants to die, he can find a place where no one is clean, and he has to choose a place where there are people, is it true? If you don’t want to be sincere, just die. And if you die in this East Palace, it’s not good for my reputation to spread, don’t you think?”

Zou Zhi knelt on the ground at this moment: "I have tried my best... His Royal Highness refuses to trust me, what else can I do? Besides, I have been an eyeliner in Fengdu for so long, and I haven't provoked anyone." What is right and wrong is all because Weichen is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and dare not listen to the prince in everything. The prince is thousands of miles away now, and Weichen has no grip in his hands, so naturally he will not hold his own family. Young and old put themselves at risk."

When Qin Xuechuan heard the word "handle", he suddenly frowned.

If one person has no confidence in another person's hands, then how could Zou Zhi be willing to work for one person for more than ten years?

Qin Xuechuan was stunned again, he stood up, and at this moment he suddenly felt a little dizzy and almost fell to the ground.At this moment, Zou Zhi who was beside him suddenly supported him: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

When Qin Xuechuan came back to his senses, he pushed him away in disgust: "I trust you for now, since he has a way to get a pigeon from me, then you must know how to contact the people who are far away on the border of Chu State." Him?"

Zou Zhi froze for a moment after hearing what he said... He knew who the "he" the prince was talking about.He lowered his head and rolled his eyes: "Yes... Weichen does have a way to contact the prince."

"How do you send letters back and forth?"

Zou Zhi answered honestly: "It was our people who pretended to be fishermen outside the city, and then those fishermen went ashore from Bi'a River, and then went to Yinzhou County with the letter."

Qin Xuechuan laughed suddenly after hearing what he said: "If that's the case, then if I have anything to say to him in the future, I will be Mr. Lao. Your lord will not reject me, will you?"

Zou Zhi hurriedly said: "Of course I don't dare, it's my blessing to be able to serve His Highness!"

Qin Xuechuan: "That's good, I'm tired today, so go back first."

Zou Zhi heard that Qin Xuechuan was finally willing to let him go, so he quickly got up and said, "Yes, I obey!"

Just when Zou Zhi was about to step out of the door of the East Palace, Qin Xuechuan suddenly stopped him from behind: "And..."

Zou Zhi heard his voice again at this moment, and felt two wars.

"You are only here today to guide the etiquette of the Palace, nothing else."

After hearing this, Zou Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said quickly, "Yes... I would like to obey His Highness's order."

After speaking, he was sent back by the carriage.

***

Half a month later, Xiao Yu, who was far away in Yinzhou County, was running a horse in the wild. Although the land outside Yinzhou County was barren, the weeds grew extremely well.Especially the forage that horses love to eat is everywhere here.

Just when he was enjoying his horse race, a familiar voice suddenly stopped him: "Your Excellency! Your Excellency! Feng has a letter!"

After hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately pulled the rein, turned his head and ran towards Dai Qing.

Dai Qing got off his horse after seeing Xiao Yu, and handed a bamboo tube containing a letter to Xiao Yu's hands: "He came here in a hurry from Fengdu, it must be something important."

Xiao Yu hastily took out the letter at this moment.But when he saw the content and handwriting on the letter, his eyes suddenly widened.

Dai Qing looked at Xiao Yu holding the letter paper in a daze for a long time, so he couldn't help but asked: "My son... my son? What's wrong with you?"

When Xiao Yu heard Dai Qing calling him several times, he quickly came back to his senses: "Ah? What?"

Dai Qing's brows were twisted into a hemp rope at the moment: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have called you several times, but you have not responded. Is it an important letter? Your Majesty's expression is so solemn?"

When Xiao Yu came back to his senses, his face was suddenly full of smiles. He picked up the whip and waved it, and then drove away: "It's nothing."

***

Xiao Yu didn't run outside for too long today, but went straight home.Back in the mansion, he locked himself in the room immediately, and then took out the letter and read it carefully.

Xiao Yu didn't know what was wrong with him, the corners of his mouth just couldn't stop rising.

In the evening, when Guan Xuan came here to take his pulse, he was lying on the bed with the letter and fell asleep.

Guan Xuan knocked on the door a few times: "My son? My son... are you in the room now?"

He called several times, but no one in the house responded.At this time, he saw Dai Qing who had brought someone back from patrol.

Seeing this, Guan Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Dai Qing, has the son come back from the horse race?"

Dai Qing scratched his head at this moment: "Huh? Shizi just came back after running outside for a while today, and then he locked himself in the room and no one saw him."

When talking about this, Dai Qing suddenly made a thoughtful look: "But having said that, Feng has sent an urgent letter today, the prince stared at that heart for a long time, I think the prince has a bad face , can’t it be another big change in Fengdu?”

Guan Xuan frowned when he heard what he said: "If there is a big change in Fengdu, it's none of your business anyway. If there's any major event, it's nothing other than the national funeral... What a big event. But if it is really a national funeral, then the person who delivered the letter cannot be ours. Could something else have happened?"

Dai Qing also nodded like a person with reason and evidence, and said: "I think Shizi is very abnormal today. When he saw the letter, he looked very bad. He seemed to be smiling all the time when he went back. He hasn't come out yet. It can't be Shizi. , Those who are sick these days should be stupid.”

When Guan Xuan heard this, he said seriously: "What nonsense are you talking about? My son is in good health, how could he..."

Besides, this disease doesn't make people stupid, does it?

"It can't be that the son's illness is abnormal, and he relapsed today?" Dai Qing raised his head and guessed.

Guan Xuan also became suspicious at this time, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly wanted to rush to Xiao Yu's room.

But at this moment, the door of Xiao Yu's room suddenly opened, and Dai Qing and Guan Xuan were startled when they saw him standing in front of them in good order.

Xiao Yu smiled kindly: "Just now I heard that someone said I was sick and stupid?"

After hearing this, Dai Qing pointed at Guan Xuan: "Mr. said it."

When Guan Xuan heard this, his eyes suddenly widened——

Eh!This brat!Once he left Fengdu, he broke all the rules.

Although Xiao Yu told them not to obey the rules in the mansion, they can't be so presumptuous!

Xiao Yu slightly raised his eyebrows: "Okay, Dai Qing, you are tired from patrolling all day, go back first."

After hearing this, Dai Qing said quickly: "Yes! This subordinate resigns!"

After speaking, he disappeared before Xiao Yu's eyes.

Guan Xuan raised his head and wanted to say something at this moment, Xiao Yu also rushed ahead of him and said: "Sir, I feel much better today, I don't need to check my pulse. It's late today, I want to rest first, you should go back first."

"But……"

Before Guan Xuan finished speaking, Xiao Yu closed the door with a bang.

Guan Xuan: "..."

***

Back on the bed in the room, Xiao Yu folded the letter on the table and put it under his pillow, only to see that there was only one sentence written on it: I haven't seen you for a few months, I wonder if my palace mouse has gained weight?
