Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 889 Intentionally doing it

After this incident, Changsun Tao said he would never let Lu Mingyu eat oranges again.

Lu Yi quickly distributed the oranges brought by Bai Li to various courtyards. People in each courtyard ate the sweet potatoes and taro that had just been dug out of the fire, and their mouths were already burned by the fire.

At this time, I eat a sweet and juicy mandarin orange and face the warm charcoal fire. This day is very comfortable.

Wu Ti, the prisoner still in Prince Qi's Mansion, was lying on a lounge chair in the pavilion, with a pot of sake warming in the small red clay stove next to him.

The ground was covered with snow and three feet of ice.

But he wore thin clothes and seemed not afraid of the heat.

When Lu Yi brought the oranges to him, he saw that the ground in front of him was already covered with a large pile of thick melon seed peels. The melon seed peels burned slowly against the hot stove.

Lu Yi quickly picked up the handkerchief hanging next to him and patted the small flame that had just been lit: "Two commanders, you put out the fire! If the pavilion is burned down, will your monthly salary be enough to compensate?"

Cang Wu wanted to answer, but Wu Ti got the better of him: "You are such a vulgar maid. You talk about money at all times."

Lu Yi was neither angry nor annoyed. He simply cleaned up the floor, then glared at Cang Wu and Cang He fiercely, and said: "You two have become more and more useless recently, be careful I tell the princess."

The two brothers Cang He and Cang Wu complained repeatedly: "Auntie, it's not easy for us either. How about leaving a way to survive?"

Lu Yi criticized them with a straight face: "Since the prince wants you to look after people, you have to arrange everything properly. If there is something wrong with His Highness, can you two bear it? Really, looking at people can make you both lazy. This way, my belly will be bigger than a pumpkin!”

Cang Wu sucked in his stomach and said helplessly: "Whether or not you will grow a belly is not up to us. Some people are born with special physiques. Just like me, we can still gain weight even if we stand every day."

Cang He remained silent, staring at Wu Ti who was eating melon seeds slowly.

The wine in the small red clay stove is boiling, and the smell is evaporating. The aroma of wine is overflowing all around, and people are already drunk without even entering.

Wu Ti stood up from the recliner, opened his eyelids, glanced at Lu Yi, and poured himself a glass of wine: "Go and tell the princess that he has received his heartfelt love and tenderness for me. Thank you for her hospitality." .”

Lu Yi glared at him fiercely, turned and left the pavilion.

Wu Ti took a sip of the warm wine, put down the glass, picked up the tangerine on the coffee table, and asked, "What is this? Why is it so ugly?"

As he said that, he wiped it on his sleeve, took a bite, and then spit it out again: "Bah, bah, bah! It tastes terrible. What is this sour and bitter thing?"

The taciturn Cang Wu picked up one and peeled it, then handed it to Wu Ti: "Your Highness Wu Ti, the skin cannot be eaten."

Wu Ti picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. As he chewed the pulp, a smile slowly appeared on his face: "Where did this come from?"

Cang Wu explained: "At this time of year, it is good if the orange trees in the north are still alive. They are from Lingnan."

Wu Ti put another piece of tangerine into his mouth. His eyes were like whirlpools, and his pupils were printed with snowy white. His expression was hard to see: "Lingnan? Lingnan is great!"

Cang Wu said: "Lingnan is certainly good. How many people from Northern Qi spend their whole lives never being able to visit Lingnan, let alone eat such sweet tangerines."

Wu Ti put a whole orange into his mouth, and the light in the depths of his pupils became more and more intense. When he finished the orange in his mouth, he raised a smile: "The outside of Prince Qi's palace is sealed. At this time, it should be The wind is rumbling, but there are still fruits transported thousands of miles from Lingnan. Your Prince Qi Mansion really doesn't think it's a big deal."

Cang Wu said proudly: "That's natural. Our master has never been afraid of anything. Compared with the storms and waves that the master has experienced, the problem in front of us is just a drop in the ocean."

Wu Ti raised his eyes: "Isn't this a big deal? Doesn't your Qin Dynasty insist that the emperor commits the same crime as the common people? How come the prince kills people in the street without being questioned! The prince's palace is surrounded, so you are not worried at all?"

Cang Wu and Cang He had been guarding Wu Ti for several months without anyone talking to him, and they were already exhausted.

It happened that Wu Ti handed over a handful of melon seeds. He sat down opposite Wu Ti and quickly started chatting: "Your Highness, you don't know that this law is dead, but people are alive. The sins of our prince will be punished personally by your majesty." Sure, as long as your majesty thinks that the prince is right, even if the emperor comes to earth, he will not be able to use it." Wu Ti threw the melon seed shell on the ground: "There is a saying in the Qin Dynasty that 'accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger'. How could King Qi be able to do that? Are you sure that the emperor will not be cruel to him?"

Cang Wu took a bite of melon seeds and said, "How can that be possible? First of all, our master has military power in his hands. How dare your Majesty dare to touch the master easily? The government is currently unstable. If you touch the master, it will be equivalent to disturbing the stability of the border areas."

"Besides, our master and His Majesty are uncles and nephews, and they are connected by blood. At this time, the government is unstable. If His Majesty doesn't help his own people, then how can his own people help him?"

Wu Ti directly broke the tangerine in half and handed half to Cang Wu: "How do you know so much? Then let me test you. How do you think King Qi should deal with the current situation?"

Cang Wu said without hesitation: "We should stay the same to cope with the ever-changing situation! How else can we deal with it? Look, it's been a few days since this happened. I guess the impeachment memorials are all piled up on the desk. Look, the master is with the princess every day. What's wrong with him?" I didn’t do it either! Isn’t this just keeping the same in response to all changes?”

Cang Wu continued: "Don't the impeachment memorials have to go through the Political Hall? Whose hands is the Political Hall? It's in the hands of the Prime Minister of Feng."

Wu Ti ate the whole orange and said, "No wonder your master is so calm. It turns out..."

"Tsk! Why do you keep pulling on my clothes?" Cang Wu slapped Cang He's hand away, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and started to bite Wu Ti's ears, "I'm telling you, our master..."

Know where to stay.

Changsun Tao put on black clothes, the color of the dark night, and tied up his hair, dressing up for a night walk.

Lu Mingyu handed over the belt and said, "Cang Wu leaked everything that should be leaked."

Changsun Tao took the belt and tied it around his waist, saying: "The chess pieces that have been buried for so long should fall where they should."

Lu Mingyu smiled: "Isn't it? Cangwu, Canghe and Canghe have different temperaments, which can be regarded as complementary. In the past few months, their image in front of Wu Ti has been solidified. If Wu Ti is really the tiger behind it, the next step should be There will be action."

In fact, the couple listed all the people who might be behind it, and the number one suspect finally fell on Wu Ti.

There are two reasons. First, they found a problem with Princess Hexia, and there are only so many people who can be related to Princess Hexia.

Secondly, Wu Ti has this ability, otherwise how could he, a foreign prince, bury a chess piece like Bai Yichu?

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and Wu Ti's ability to catch up with Bai Yichu shows that he and Bai Yichu are likely to be in the same league. Wu Ti's past performance must not be used to erase his previous conspiracies.

In order to induce Wu Ti to reveal his fox tail, they arranged for Cang Wu, who usually has a loud mouth, to deliberately reveal some important information.

If Wu Ti is not deep enough in the city, or if he is not responsible for the matter, then this kind of temptation can touch some corners.

Changsun Tao said: "To be able to set up such a big situation, he must be a very deep man in the city. He will never reveal his flaws easily. If he does, it will probably be done on purpose."

Lu Mingyu smiled: "Husband, why do we still waste so much effort to do this?"

Changsun Tao adjusted his clothes: "As long as the tail is exposed, whether it is exposed intentionally or accidentally, as long as it is the tail, we can catch it. If we pinch one part, why worry about not digging out the whole one?"

Lu Mingyu pinched his face: "My husband is the smartest."

Changsun Tao held her hand instead and said, "The argument goes against your will. You always think of the same thing as me, and you pretend to be stupid on purpose."

Lu Mingyu said: "Be careful on the road. You must protect Ah Sui and take care of yourself at the same time."

Changsun Tao placed a kiss on her forehead: "Wait until I come back."
