Mugui

Yang Shitou was lying on the bed with his eyes open, not sleeping. Xiaoxiao knew in his heart that it would be difficult for his sister to come back after she got married. On this rare day when she came back, he would look at her with his eyes open.

It's just that I was too young, so I couldn't resist my sleepiness and my sister's hypnotic singing voice, and I still fell asleep.

Yang Mu watched his brother's belly breathing and breathing in amusement, covered him with a thin quilt, and turned around to see the resentful eyes of a certain resentful prince.

Yang Mu stood up funny and pulled Lin Xiao to the inner room in the other direction.

Lin Xiao was dissatisfied and said: "I don't want to sleep here, I want to sleep in your bed." Do you think he doesn't know?That boy was sleeping in his wife's bed!

No matter how Yang Mu coaxed him, Lin Xiao just didn't agree to sleep here, so in the end he just strode over to carry Yang Shitou here.

The little guy was very quiet in his arms, showing no signs of waking up. He was still asleep until he was placed on the couch.

Yang Mu had no choice but to reach out and poke her brother's cute cheek. Lin Xiao grabbed his hand, hugged him sideways, and went to the boudoir where she had only lived for half a year.

Smelling the smell in the fragrant tent, a certain prince who had never seen the world was so excited that he looked left and right. It turned out that this was the boudoir!
……

After getting up from their nap, Yang Mu and Lin Xiao rushed to see Uncle Qi, so they took an ordinary carriage belonging to the Yang family and went to Wanxiangfang.

Yang Mu has been busy during this period and has not been here for a long time.

There were still many customers, and the two of them entered through the back door.

After Wanxiangfang became bigger, a small courtyard at the back was also included. Zhou Dazhuang and his wife lived there on weekdays. There was an empty room in the west wing, and Qi Bo temporarily arranged it here.

When the two of them arrived, Qi Bo was making a fuss about going out, but Mu Chen stopped him.

Lin Xiao looked at Uncle Qi, and after a while he sighed and said, "Uncle Qi, it's me, Brother Xiao."

Qi Bo pushed Mu Chen's hand, and after a while he sneered: "I was the Crown Princess before, and now I am the Crown Prince. Are you bullying me for not being able to see her?"

Lin Xiao looked at Uncle Qi's eyes carefully and said to Mu Chen, "Go and ask a doctor to take a look at Uncle Qi."

After saying that, he pulled Qi Bo into the house, pushed him to sit down, and then said: "When I was a child, Qi Bo, you gave me a small Cuju and said you made it yourself, do you still remember?"

Qi Bo blinked his cloudy eyes, and then said: "This is not a secret."

Lin Xiao sat next to him, stretched out his hand to pour him a cup of tea, and said slowly: "Uncle Qi, you told me not to give my mother's dowry to the princess, do you still remember?"

Uncle Qi didn't speak for a long time. This matter was secret. He had indeed told the prince in private, but it was not certain that the Cao family would not be able to find out.

He straightened his expression, turned to look in Lin Xiao's direction, and said, "If I ask you a question and you can answer it, I will believe that you are the prince."

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Uncle Qi, ask."

Uncle Qi held it in for a long time before asking a question that made Lin Xiao want to hold his forehead.

"The prince spanked you once, and when I went to give you medicine, you said something. If you can tell it, I will believe that you are the prince."

As soon as he said this, Lin Xiao blushed and hesitated, motioning for Yang Mu to go out.

Yang Mu was so curious that he didn't want to go out.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to sigh in his heart and gritted his teeth and said: "I say, one day, I will let my father have a taste of the flowering of his buttocks. I will also kill the mole on his buttocks." …”

Yang Mu: "!!!"

Hahaha!
Yang Mu couldn't hold it back and ran out and laughed wildly for a long time.

In the room, Uncle Qi looked in Lin Xiao's direction in surprise, his lips twitching, and he was too excited to say a complete sentence for a while.

"Little... little master..."

Lin Xiao held Uncle Qi's trembling hand and said, "I have suffered a lot from Uncle Qi these years."

Uncle Qi held Lin Xiao's hand tightly, with tears streaming down his face, and said, "Master, it's really you!" He knelt down as he spoke.

Lin Xiao quickly supported Uncle Qi and said: "Although I have known that you were hidden by the Cao family over the years, I have never been able to find you. It was only a few years ago that I heard that you were hidden in Daiyun Villa. I sent someone there , but I don’t know where Daiyun Villa has hidden you.”

He paused and saw Yang Mu coming in after laughing outside, and said, "That's why I asked the Crown Princess to rescue you."

Uncle Qi didn't expect that the person who saved him before was really the Crown Princess. His face turned red and he wanted to kneel down.

Yang Mu hurriedly grabbed him and said with a smile: "Uncle Qi, don't worry about it. It's just that I see that Uncle Qi seems to be being forced?"

Qi Bo sighed and talked about the past years.

After the death of Princess Xian Ding, the management of the backyard fell back to the old Princess Ma, who waited until Cao married into the palace and became the new Princess Ding.

Mr. Cao, who loved power, took over the stewardship from Mr. Ma in a short period of time.

It was also at that time that Qi Bo was gradually stripped of his rights as a housekeeper.

This is nothing originally. Once the emperor and the courtiers came, the new mistress would gradually erase the traces left by the old mistress, let alone such an important position as housekeeper.

Uncle Qi didn't feel aggrieved at first, he just wanted to take good care of his little master Lin Xiao.

But an accident made Qi Bo doubt in his mind that he had planned the death of the princess before.Ten years ago, Grandma Chen's daughter-in-law, who was close to Cao, was pregnant and had dystocia. She called several doctors and stable mothers to no avail.

When Uncle Qi heard about it, he went to his nanny and recommended her to ask Po Wen, who had delivered Princess Xian Ding's baby.

This was originally a very normal suggestion, but Grandma Chen firmly disagreed. She said that the princess was decided first and the two stable women delivered the baby.

Qi Bo also advised, saying that it would be better for at least one of the child and the mother to survive than for none of them to survive.

But Grandma Chen not only disagreed, but her eyes flickered.

Uncle Qi felt that the matter was suspicious, so he ordered people to find the two stable women.

But the news he was waiting for was that the two stable women fell into the moat and drowned on their way home after delivering the princess's baby.

If Nanny Chen's expression only aroused suspicion in Uncle Qi's mind, then the accidental deaths of the two stable women made Uncle Qi almost conclude that there was a hidden reason behind the death of the princess.

So Qi Bo wanted Lin Mao to report the matter and wanted Lin Mao to order an investigation into the matter.

But after Lin Mao heard about this, not only did he not support his investigation, he was very unhappy, and seemed not to want to mention the matter of pre-deciding the princess.

Qi Bo had no choice but to investigate on his own.

But Qi Bo has been ignored by the Cao family. He only has the title of housekeeper, but almost no housekeeper rights, so it is very difficult to investigate.

There were even a few times when someone he asked about what happened back then would have an accident, which made it almost impossible for Qi Bo to do anything.

Until he found a fire-burning woman who was beside the princess back then.

The woman was originally not on duty that day, but was temporarily called back to help, so her name was not on the record book of the duty room.

The mother-in-law told Uncle Qi everything she could remember about what happened that day.

At that time, due to Lin Mao's attitude and lack of evidence, Qi Bo could not directly testify against Cao.

He knew that the Cao family already knew what happened when he investigated, and now that he had found out about the woman, the Cao family would soon attack him.

I could only write this dictation on paper, have the woman sign it, put it in a box, lock it in a bank safe under Lin Xiao's name, and hide the key to the safe in a secret place. place, and then returned to Prince Ding's Mansion.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to Prince Ding's Mansion, Cao ordered him to be put under house arrest and sent to Daiyun Villa overnight.

At that time, Lin Mao was guarding the border and was not in the capital. When he returned to the capital, he found that the housekeeper in the house had changed. Uncle Qi had gone to take care of his old age, so he didn't ask any questions.

After Qi Bo was sent to Daiyun Villa, he was originally going to be silenced, but he said in time that he had a dictation in his hand and had given it to someone he trusted. As long as he died, the dictation would be with him. Will be sent to Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

Cao ordered people to force him to tell him his whereabouts many times. In order to deceive him, he blinded him, found someone to rescue him, and found someone to pretend to be Lin Xiao.

It's just that Uncle Qi and Lin Xiao had a very good relationship back then. Only the two of them knew many things. Uncle Qi could tell the truth from the lies with just a little trial and error.

Cao couldn't get the news from him, and couldn't let him die, so he tortured him in various ways.

Ask him to get up before dawn to plant bamboo, or dig a hole, bury it, and let him dig it out.

All in all, it's just plain torture.

Thinking that Uncle Qi was woken up by whips every day, Lin Xiao clenched his fists. When he heard Uncle Qi talking calmly about his humiliating experience, Lin Xiao closed his eyes tightly and wanted to kill someone.

Qi Bo was the dowry brought by Princess Xianding and the elder who had grown up with him since childhood.

When he was a child, Lin Mao was often in the military camp, and he spent much more time seeing Uncle Qi than Lin Mao.

While they were talking, Mu Chen came over and said that he had invited a doctor.

The doctor was a famous ophthalmologist in the capital. After carefully examining Uncle Qi, he prescribed a prescription and said, "It's not a serious illness. It's poisoning and malnutrition, so you can't see it. Take the medicine, and then apply it." , take good care of your diet, and you can recover as quickly as three months or as slowly as half a year."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao felt relieved and gave the doctor a lot of money for the consultation.

After the doctor left, Lin Xiao told Mu Chen: "Stand guard near this doctor. If anyone sees Cao's family, no matter who they are, they will be killed. Don't disturb the doctor's approach!"

Mu Chen thought it was rare to hear such an order, so he hurriedly responded and left quickly.

It's not that the prince has never killed someone before, but there is indeed no precedent for killing someone without asking.

Yang Mu sighed and held Lin Xiao's hand.

Lin Xiao's face was cold, with a dangerous aura flashing in his eyes, and he said: "Whoever goes to investigate the doctor's whereabouts must be Cao's minions."

Yang Mu nodded and said, "It's time to let Uncle Qi rest. Let's go and take a look at the dictation."

Lin Xiao took a slow breath, returned to the house, and said to Qi Bo: "Uncle Qi, this is the dowry shop of the Crown Princess. You are surrounded by your own people. You can live in peace of mind. I will take the dictation and wait for me I’ll come see you later when I have time.”

After Uncle Qi was rescued, Cao would definitely search everywhere under Lin Xiao's name, but he might not be able to think of Wanxiangfang.

Uncle Qi nodded, with a soothing smile, and said: "Little master, now that you are married, my old man can tell that the Crown Princess is excellent. The princess...if she could see it, she would definitely It’s gratifying.”

Lin Xiao nodded solemnly, said goodbye to Uncle Qi and left. He specially asked someone to call Lu Shan and sent four secret guards to guard the place to prevent Cao from doing anything.
