After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Yu Zizhen saw his entanglement and hesitation, and knew that he was worried that Lu Tong's people would come out when he returned to the palace and chop off his head with a knife.

Yu Zizhen, who was well aware of the development of the situation, smiled slightly and said, "No, running away will become one of the clues for others to track you."

Xiao Shaoke immediately became bitter when he heard this.

Yu Zizhen sighed and looked like he had no choice but to compromise, "Since the emperor really doesn't want to go back, why not get some gold and silver from me first. Ah, by the way, I also have ordinary clothes. You can make do with it first." Pick something to wear."

Xiao Shaoke was overjoyed and took five hundred taels of silver notes, some broken silver and ten gold leaves from the "eldest prince" without any courtesy.

Yu Zizhen's eyes twitched as he watched from the sidelines. He actually had the nerve to take more than half of other people's money. This guy was indeed different from the second prince.

If she hadn't taken aim at the other person's savings over the years, she would have driven this guy out because of his attitude.

The emperor's face didn't look very good either. He felt pity for Xiao Shaoke's difficult situation these years, so he didn't mind helping him within his ability. However, the other party actually took away most of the money in the money box. The emperor felt sympathy and pity for him. Suddenly it disappeared.

Xiao Shaoke may have realized that he was too greedy. While selecting clothes that he liked from the eldest prince's wardrobe, he shamelessly said to the emperor and Yu Zizhen: "Brother, eldest nephew, I can't take away those things of mine. I really don’t feel at ease if I don’t bring more money. So do you, my eldest nephew, why do you only have so little private money?”

The corner of Yu Zizhen's mouth twitched. Even if he took away more than six hundred taels from him, would that be too little?

She was not used to Xiao Shaoke, "Since the emperor doesn't like it, why don't you go back to your palace to get more? My nephew usually goes out to play more, and the expenses are indeed higher than that of the emperor."

When Xiao Shaoke heard this, he immediately fell silent. He didn't want to take the risk and go back.

Shamelessly choosing a new pair of ordinary clothes to put on, Xiao Shaoke stared at the dark blue headband handed to him by the "eldest prince" with a confused look on his face, a little confused as to why he gave him a short ribbon.

For the sake of the valuable golden crown on his head, Yu Zizhen could only explain to him in a good voice, "Since you are disguising, then disguise it thoroughly. If you wear palace boots and a gold crown, others can tell at a glance that something is wrong with you. .”

Xiao Shaoke suddenly realized this and became more and more envious of the fact that the eldest prince had been able to leave the palace many times before.

He didn't know how to comb his hair, so Yu Zizhen could only ask her private soldier, who was pretending to be the eldest prince's confidant, to comb Xiao Shaoke's hair into a simple bun that was common outside.

While her private soldier was combing Xiao Shaoke's hair, Yu Zizhen took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and put it on the table.

The private soldier who caught sight of her gesture, after combing Xiao Shaoke's hair, knocked him unconscious while he was not prepared.

The emperor was speechless and turned his gaze blankly to Yu Zizhen, who was sitting there pretending to be the eldest prince.

Yu Zizhen smiled at him, and then ordered the private soldier succinctly, "Send him out, and wrap the banknotes and road tickets in oil paper for him."

The direction indicated by her eyes was the eldest prince's bedroom. Of course the private soldier understood that Yu Zizhen was asking him to leave through the secret passage.

To be cautious, even though Xiao Shaoke had fainted, the private soldier who combed his hair still covered his eyes with black cloth.

The bank note Yu Zizhen promised to give him and the road guide she found out in advance were wrapped in layers of oil paper by another private soldier to prevent them from getting wet with water and being wasted.

At this time, Xiao Shaoke didn't know that because of his temporary greed and selfishness, Yu Zizhen gave up the original idea of ​​sending someone to escort him to Jiangnan safely. To be cautious, Yu Zizhen also told her two private soldiers before they left, "Have someone go out through the east gate and send him to any county or town five hundred miles away."

Judging from the current progress of the situation, Lu Tong should lead troops into the palace tomorrow. In other words, they will leave the palace and escape from the capital tomorrow at the latest. Then she only needs to give Xiao Shaoke a chance to regret it within tomorrow. That's it.

The private soldiers agreed and took Xiao Shaoke away through the secret passage.

The emperor heard from the order given by Yu Zizhen that she did not like Xiao Shaoke, and knew that she would definitely not protect Xiao Shaoke like she protected the second prince. His mood changed from being disappointed with Xiao Shaoke's selfish behavior to sympathizing with him for kicking the iron plate, but he couldn't What he denied was that when Yu Zizhen did this, he was actually sulking.

Unlike Xiao Shaoke, the emperor who once left the palace and opened a mansion and lived a careful life with his wife knew very well that although the money could not make Xiao Shaoke rich, it was enough for him to buy some fields and a house in a small place with simple folk customs. From then on, Live a stable life incognito.

With Xiao Shaoke's appearance and talent, the emperor believed that he would easily be able to find a suitable job and marry a virtuous wife.

However, what the emperor didn't know was that what Xiao Shaoke wanted was never to marry a wife and have children in obscurity and live an ordinary life. He would not use these more than 600 taels to buy a family property that was only enough to sustain his daily life, let alone As the emperor thought, in order to spend more money, he would debase himself and become a teacher or accountant.

After the two private soldiers sent the people away, the emperor whispered to Yu Zizhen: "I will have someone make up for the missing silver coins for you later."

When his son left, Yu Zizhen let him take away everything that was valuable and easy to carry, and even exchanged silver notes for his valuables that were difficult to take away.

All the money that the eldest prince has here now was released by Yu Zizhen for show.

The emperor didn't want Yu Zizhen to suffer a loss, so he offered to provide Yu Zizhen with money.

Yu Zizhen smiled and waved to him, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. I will personally go to the Emperor's palace later."

Is she the one who treats herself badly and takes advantage of others?

Definitely not.

Is it because of Xiao Shaoke's selfishness that she had someone knock him out and take him away without even asking him where he wanted to go?

Then he took so much money from Yu Zizhen, of course Yu Zizhen would make it back with interest.

As soon as the emperor left, she immediately put away the non-poisonous food on the table, destroyed the poisonous corpses, and then sent away the private soldiers pretending to be the eldest prince's confidants, disguising herself as Xiao Shaoke.

Somewhat disgusted, he took all the clothes and accessories left by Xiao Shaoke on himself, and Yu Zizhen swaggered out of the eldest prince's palace.

Outside, the palace servants who were busy looking for Xiao Shaoke saw his figure and hurried over to greet him.

"Your Highness, you are finally back."

Yu Zizhen nodded to them and strode into Xiao Shaoke's bedroom. (End of chapter)
