Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 824 "Dirty Things"

Sanji said that the prince came to see him and went back after hearing that there was no fear of his life. Before leaving, he told him to call him if he woke up.

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Yi and asked without emotion, "Are you finally awake?"

This question is quite strange. When you wake up, you are awake. What does it mean to be awake? Lin Yi frowned slightly, but he always wore his big hood in front of others, so no one could see his expression. After a while, he whispered "Yeah". Due to the injury, his voice became increasingly difficult to hear even him. He couldn't bear it anymore and swallowed subconsciously.

Sanji nodded, put down his arms across his chest, and went out without any delay.

Only then did Lin Yi vaguely realize the subtext of the other party's strange question: Are you sober enough to prepare how to respond to His Highness the Crown Prince's question? This seemed to be the meaning, but after he understood it, he was a little surprised. He raised the edge of his hood and glanced at the empty door, wondering how someone like Sanji could... care about him?
I heard that this Sangji is from Bian Dongchuan.

Bian Dongchuan gave Li Yuqi a lot of people at the beginning, but Li Yuqi was very similar to the one who is now on the throne. He was suspicious and even his grandfather did not believe it. He always felt that the other party arranged these people to monitor him, so most of them were picked by Li Yuqi. He was beaten and punished for minor mistakes that did not matter, and was wasted on unimportant errands. So far, only Sanchi has been left and reused.

Of course, Lin Yi also contributed to Li Yuqi's increasingly severe suspicion.

Lin Yi also asked Li Yuqi why Sangji was left alone. Li Yuqi said that if no one is left, that old man Bian Dongchuan will know that he is specifically targeting the people he sent here. He will not be able to hold the position of prince without Bian Dongchuan. Furthermore, Sangji's martial arts is better than those who are just here. It's much easier to use something that can serve people with words.

Those who "only serve people with words" are the counselors Bian Dongchuan selected and sent over after personally checking them.

Without those people staring at him all the time, without those people nagging in front of his ears to persuade him about his future and great achievements, Li Yuqi felt comfortable and relaxed. He could favor whoever he wanted, and he could be as absurd as he wanted. Absurd, since they were all born in this imperial family, why should we be cautious in our words and deeds? Lin Yi caught Li Yuqi's thoughts and coaxed him to be close to the traitor and far away from the villain, and bit by bit he played the good cards to pieces.

No one can save it.

"Are you awake?" Footsteps came, the voice was neither salty nor light, Li Yuqi had arrived.

He stood outside the threshold and did not come in. His eyes were slightly cold and the corners of his mouth were pressed, and his expression was gloomy and uncertain. "Tell me, where did you provoke this embarrassment and make someone beat him like a lost dog?" Come in? Let me warn you, Your Highness is now confined here, and he has a lot of troubles to deal with. Don’t let me cause any big troubles for you to deal with. "

The eyes were lowered, only looking at a certain brick under the threshold. Although the words were spoken by Lin Yi, the eyes never fell on him, and the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, cool and playful.

It seems... it's always been like this.

Even though he helped Li Yuqi do so many shameful things, Li Yuqi would still say coaxing words when he was in a good mood, such as, "Lin Yi, you are really my highness's right-hand man, and this palace is really indispensable for you!" Or, "Lin Yi, you are the only person that my Highness can trust. You are my confidant. What would I do if I lost you?"

However, when saying these words, Li Yuqi never looked at his face, and even kept some distance from him intentionally or unintentionally. It's like being afraid of something or hating something.

Suddenly, Lin Yi remembered the word Cen Yan said last night - dirty things.

Therefore, no matter whether it is useful or not, he is just a "thing" that is despised by others. Devil, ugly, dirty... the words that fall on him have always been like this, but most of the people who say these words have already gone to see the King of Hell. , among those who survived, he could already predict when the other party should go to see the King of Hell, only Cen Yan... couldn't stand it, and couldn't kill him.

Thinking of that kid who was grinning and his teeth were shining brightly, Lin Yi secretly gritted his teeth, all his expressions were hidden under the wide hood, and after a long while, he said in a low voice, "I just met him on the back mountain. Ji Wuyan's people were there, and there were so many of them that I was accidentally defeated. I didn't dare to go to the doctor, for fear that Ji Wuyan would find someone to ambush me. It would be a shame if I died, but I thought about His Highness. There may be some use for me, so I came here with a smile on my face... If Your Highness doesn't want to, I'll just leave."

He pretended to be humble in every word, but he also hinted at temptations and warnings, reminding the prince that the two of them were like grasshoppers on the same rope. It was really not a wise move to abandon the car to protect the commander before the great cause was accomplished.

Li Yuqi naturally understood what he meant. He stood there with his hands behind his back and smiled softly for a while, "Ji Wuyan? Why is she running to the back mountain? I heard that the Ji family is very lively these days, and the Chen family Those young people have all passed..."

Lin Yi, however, just lowered his head and said calmly, "I don't know."

Li Yuqi twitched the corner of his mouth again, his expression becoming more sinister, "Then what are you doing in the back mountain?"

Lin Yi seemed slightly startled and hesitated without speaking.

Li Yuqi became more and more convinced that there was something wrong in Lin Yi's heart. With his hands behind his back, he stepped forward steadily and asked in a deep voice, "Huh? Tell me, you are a guy who hides his head and tail like a mouse all day long, and you go to the back." What happened to Shan Zuo? Is it really just a coincidence that I happened to meet Ji Wuyan?”

Rat-like, hidden and dirty...

Although he felt that he was used to listening to it, listening to it so frequently still made his ears feel very harsh.

The expression under the hood gradually became colder. He almost rubbed the alveolus bit by bit with the tip of his tongue before asking, "His Royal Highness has been confined here for a long time. Young Master, I have been going in and out these days." It's very troublesome... I don't want to come, but the reason why His Highness is in such a restless mood now is that I am sure that I can achieve a great cause... but this great cause... I don't just hide in one place all day long. It can be done in a ruined temple, right?”

He stopped pretending and grabbed the other person's throat. He slowly took off his hood, revealing a horrible inhuman face, and grinned at the other person.

Li Yuqi was shocked and subconsciously took a step back. However, one of his feet was inside the threshold and the other was still outside. He almost fell when he stepped back. Fortunately, Sangji was behind him and held him in time. He didn't lose his composure, but his face suddenly darkened.
