Although the third prince stood there without saying a word, a cold chill spread around his body, as if he could instantly smash the person who offended him into pieces in the next moment.

The little maid who "missed" was lying on the ground, even kowtowing with all her strength, her whole body was trembling, her teeth were chattering, and her kowtowing sounds were of varying severity, which showed that her body was really out of control.

At this moment, the anger on the third prince's face was not very obvious. However, everyone knew that for the third prince who was expressionless in most situations and did not express much about the changes in the outside world, this was already a certain degree of anger.

Ning Xiaotao, who has always been "always on focus, never out of focus", was standing by and had no intention of coming over to persuade or help.

The entire male guest department fell silent instantly.

Everyone was waiting tacitly. The people who come to the second prince's house for a banquet are either rich or noble. If there is anything they don't understand, it is most likely that the second prince wants to embarrass the third prince.

And the third prince certainly didn't want to admit defeat easily.

But as for how to deny it and how to break up with the second prince, it was beyond their control.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, little devils suffer.

Although everyone who can come here, be it the royal family members or the princes of aristocratic families, are not brats, they cannot easily get involved in the disputes among the princes.

So the situation became strangely deadlocked.

"Hahaha!" A few dry laughs came quickly from the side. Butler Zhang from the Second Prince's Mansion, looking out of breath, trotted over and confessed to the Third Prince again and again,

"Third Highness, Third Highness, I'm really, really sorry, I'm really sorry, this maid is a subordinate, and my subordinates can't discipline me well. You are rich and have many adults. Don't, don't, don't be fooled by this person who doesn't know etiquette. This slave is so angry! Your Highness, please come with me, and I will put on a set of dry clothes for you. Don't catch a cold at this time. If your noble body is exposed to any more cold, this slave's head will not be saved. It doesn’t matter, I’m afraid our Second Highness will feel distressed. Your Highness, please!”

However, the third prince's expression had returned to calm, and he raised his hand slightly to stop the butler's chatter.

Then, I heard a clear voice rising slowly, but the tone was a bit colder than the cold wind in early spring.

"Go and tell the Second Emperor Brother that I want this maid."

"What?" The housekeeper was a little confused.

Ning Xiaotao took a step forward and stood in front of the housekeeper, blocking the housekeeper's triangular eyes from staring at the third prince.

"Leave this maid to me, I will find someone to teach her the rules, and after a while, you will see a good maid in the second prince's house who understands etiquette and knows how to advance and retreat. Also, if this maid is a child of your family , I gave the Third Highness the deeds of their whole family, so that we can’t let the family’s flesh and blood be separated. Our Third Highness is not such a evil-hearted person! Come to think of it, His Second Highness and His Highness the Third Highness have a deep brotherly love, so it won’t be Can’t bear to part with it, right?”

The housekeeper was almost dazzled again by the handsome man in red in front of him, and for a moment his brain was confused!

What's happening here?

Ning Xiaotao's pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly again, staring at the housekeeper solemnly and said,

"Oh, I understand! You must have wanted this maid to deliberately wet His Highness's clothes, and then send someone to seduce His Highness while he was changing his clothes! Oh, no, no, you still want to put some clothes in the guest room Put some incense and the like to let His Highness fall into your trap! In order to ruin His Highness’s reputation!”

The housekeeper was so frightened that he also knelt down with the maid, shouting "Unjust".

That's not all, the housekeeper immediately said with tears and runny nose,

"Mr. Ning, don't scare me! I don't dare to frame His Highness the Third! This is just a misunderstanding! Mr. Ning, if you don't believe it, you can accompany His Highness to change in a moment!"

Ning Xiaotao sneered disdainfully, frowned and said,

"Why, you still want to catch all of me, too?"

The housekeeper was sweating profusely now, waving his hands, shaking his head, and kowtowing again and again.

"Young master, be careful what you say. Young master, be careful what you say!"

The third prince is the emperor's favorite. If this reaches the emperor's ears, he will definitely not survive tomorrow!

Ning Xiaotao still thought of himself,

"Oh! I know! You must have taken a fancy to His Highness's jade pendant! You want to steal His Highness's jade pendant while His Highness is in a trance! Hum, you know the goods, this jade pendant is the only one in the world. You still have an appetite You're so young! You're not afraid of dying! Your Highness, he covets your jade pendant, what do you think he should do with it?"

Butler, "..." I covet the jade pendant? The jade pendant has something to do with me!

You also said that this jade pendant is unique in the world. The question is how can I exchange it for money?

But Ning Xiaotao's words were conclusive, and the housekeeper was unable to refute. Of course, rebuttal is not easy.

Li Mi and Zhou Biao looked at each other and found it funny.

Everyone discovered that Ning Xiaotao's strong rhetoric and unconstrained ideas were hard for most people to keep up with!

The third prince looked at Ning Xiaotao and said calmly,

"what ever!"

The third prince himself didn't feel it, but everyone around him could hear it, and his tone instantly became softer.

Ning Xiaotao picked up a chopstick and tapped the butler's head gently.

"Listen! This maid must have done something wrong for messing with His Highness! However, those who make tea, boil water, add firewood, and wash dishes are all involved! These people's marriage contracts also belong to their whole family. All the deeds of betrayal must be delivered to the third prince's residence! Otherwise, you will be punished for disrespecting the prince! When the time comes, hum!"

Ning Xiaotao tapped the butler's neck with his chopsticks, and then rubbed it up and down!

The housekeeper had no choice but to smile along with a grimace!

I knew that the third prince and Ning Xiaotao would not be easily fooled when they got together, but I didn't expect him to be so difficult to deal with!

After tossing the housekeeper, Ning Xiaotao accompanied the third prince to the guest room.

The guest room is located in the second half of the manor, which is a courtyard. The two rooms are divided into east and west parts to accommodate male guests and female guests respectively.

Juqu Qingshan was changing her clothes in the inner room, while Ji Jun, Zhou Yuanrong and others were waiting in the outer room.

Yu Jue and Aunt Yuan pulled Guan Jingqiu around, joking and flattering her.

Ji Jun had the opportunity to ask Zhou Yuan about Rong Zhuchai.

Zhou Yuanrong had a smile on his face, but his tone was very anxious.

"I overheard the little maid talking about finding a woman with an eight-treasure purple jade walking stick, saying that she must wet her dress before moving. Then, I saw you wearing this walking stick, too. I didn’t have time to discuss it with you, so I thought I’d change it first. So I quickly gave you a spare hairpin I had to replace it with. However, I didn’t expect that Juqu Qingshan was also wearing this hairpin!”

Ji Jun was also puzzled.

"Have you ever worn this beaded hairpin?"

Zhou Yuanrong shook his head,

"No, it was a reward from Princess Tong'an a while ago. Maybe Princess Tong'an also rewarded Juqu Qingshan?"

"Is it a face-to-face reward?"

"No, I sent someone to the palace."

Ji Jun's mind was spinning rapidly. It was normal for Princess Tong'an to reward her with a pearl hairpin, but nine times out of ten, there was something wrong with the pearl hairpin.

Someone borrowed Princess Tong'an's hand and gave this hairpin, which was the same as Juqu Qingshan's, to Zhou Yuanrong!

Then, he borrowed Zhou Yuanrong's hand to bring Zhuchai to him.

However, all this trouble is just for that glass of water?

Ji Jun pulled out the hairpin from his head full of doubts, put it in his hand and rubbed it.

It was okay if he didn't rub it. As soon as the hairpin was rubbed between Ji Jun's fingers, Ji Jun immediately smelled a vague and vague smell, which made Ji Jun's mouth and nose feel a little uncomfortable.

However, just when Ji Jun wanted to distinguish it carefully, the Gu insect in Ji Jun's body suddenly trembled!

Danger!

This was the first information that broke into Ji Jun's mind!

Yes, it’s not poison!

It's dangerous!

"Miss! Look, Zhuchai has changed color!"

Shaoyao whispered.

Ji Jun took another look, and sure enough, the pearl hairpin was originally transparent and light green, but now it started to turn gray and black!

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Zhuchai started to get smaller...

Then, Ji Jun heard rustling noises all around, which was creepy!

Ji Jun looked at Shaoyao with some fear, and Shaoyao tightly covered his mouth with his hands, his face full of horror!

Ji Jun's heart sank, something bad happened! It's a poisonous snake!
