The whole family is in limbo? He went crazy after listening to Zai's voice

Chapter 51 The Third Prince with a Brain

How to do?
Chu Yao suddenly broke out in dense cold sweat on his forehead.

The footsteps are approaching!
The people inside are coming out!

Suddenly, Chu Yao had a flash of inspiration and immediately jumped down the steps in three steps and two steps.

Then he pretended to run over, stepped hard on the steps with one foot, and shouted.

"Mother concubine!"

At this moment, the door was opened.

Concubine Xian looked at him, "Didn't Yao'er go back?"

Chu Yao wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Forget it, I had already reached the door and suddenly realized that I had left my father's jade pendant behind."

With that said, he walked in and put away the jade pendant on the table.

"My son is back now, and my mother and concubine have a good rest."

"Wait a moment!"

Concubine Xian stopped Chu Yao who was about to go out, looked at him and said with a smile: "Yao'er, help concubine bring a letter to your grandfather."

What will the Xiao family do again?
Just when Chu Yao was confused, Concubine Xian had already returned to the bedroom.

She took out a small porcelain vase from a secret compartment, dipped the brush in it a few times, and began to write on the paper.

The strange thing is that wherever the brush passed, not a single word was left.

After finishing writing, Concubine Xian thought for a while, then pulled off a piece of hair, cut it into two sections, stuffed half of it into the envelope, put the other half on the letter paper and folded it, and then wrote another line on the paper.

When everything was ready, Concubine Xian came out again. She looked at Chu Yao seriously.

"This letter must be handed over to your grandfather intact, remember?"

Chu Yao nodded and patted his chest, "Don't worry, concubine!"

Watching his leaving figure, Concubine Xian paced back and forth slightly uneasily.

Outside Changhua Palace
As soon as he saw him coming out, Xiao Duzi went to greet him, "Your Highness, what did the Concubine Xian say to you?"

Hearing this, Chu Yao glared at him, "What did the mother-in-law and my highness say, and what does it have to do with you?"

Xiao Duzi smiled flatteringly, "Slave, I'm worried because you stay here for a long time."

Chu Yao snorted, he was asking questions, he was such a lackluster guy, he was worse than Xiao Anzi!

Speaking of Xiao Anzi...

His eyelids trembled slightly. After returning from Changhua Palace that night, he never saw Xiao Anzi again.

Could it be the mother-in-law...

"Your Highness, where do you plan to go?"

Xiao Duzi's voice interrupted his thoughts.

He took out the letter and shook it, "First return the jade pendant to the emperor, and then go out of the palace to deliver the letter to the mother and concubine."

Seeing that he wanted to take the letter to the imperial study, Xiao Duzi was immediately frightened.

What if the emperor wants to open the letter and read it on a whim?
He immediately advised in a bitter voice: "Your Highness, it is better for me as a slave to deliver the jade pendant."

"presumptuous!"

Chu Yao glared at him and shouted sternly: "How brave! Are you teaching His Highness how to do things!"

He also wanted to take the opportunity to tell his father that the news had been successfully leaked.

"This slave deserves to die. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Xiao Duzi immediately knelt on the ground and slapped himself twice in the face.

"This is my father's jade pendant. Is it something you can touch?"

"But this letter..."

Although Xiao Duzi was also afraid of him, it was obvious that he was more afraid of the Xiao family and Concubine Xian.

Holding the envelope, Chu Yao also hesitated.

When he heard that his mother and concubine were going to send a message to the Xiao family, he subconsciously wanted to give it to his father.

But I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy.

With this in mind, he thrust the envelope into Xiao Duzi's hand, "Wait here!"

"Your Highness!" Xiao Duzi held the letter and felt it was extremely hot to the touch.

His Highness is really going to hurt him!
He looked around cautiously, then held it tightly in his arms.

You can tell with your toes that there must be something treacherous in it.

He must not let others know. If something goes wrong in his hands, he will be dead!

Entering the imperial study, Chu Yao told what happened in Changhua Palace and what happened to the message.

Emperor Qi Xuan nodded, "You did a good job, but it really can't be opened."

Since there is an elusive Xiao Shi in Changhua Palace, wouldn't it be safer to let him deliver the message?

But Concubine Xian did not. From this, it can be seen that the letter was most likely to test the third child.

After Chu Yao left, Emperor Qixuan walked to the window, his face calm, but in fact the hands behind his back were clenched unconsciously.

"The fish finally took the bait."

Suddenly, he turned around and looked somewhere, "It's not safe for two people. Send a few more people and make sure to arrive before the Xiao family." As soon as he finished speaking, the pages of the book spread out on the table turned slightly, and another voice in the room appeared. The sound of breathing quietly disappeared...

Xiao Mansion
As soon as Chu Yao picked up the tea presented by the maid, he heard:

"See Your Highness the Third Prince." Xiao Wentao bowed his hands in salute.

Seeing this, Chu Yao's eyes flashed slightly and he sneered in his heart.

It's really ironic, because he clearly has a lot of disdain for this idiot prince in his heart.

Even in his own territory, he can still do it so that no one can find a single fault.

How hypocritical!

Even though he hated the hypocritical behavior of the Xiao family, he still had to cooperate with them in acting.

Chu Yao immediately stood up from the chair, walked over quickly, and dragged his hand.

"We are all one family, why does grandpa need to be so polite?"

The two sat down again, and Xiao Wentao asked: "I wonder why the Third Highness came here this time?"

"My concubine has a letter and asked me to deliver it to you." With that said, Chu Yao took out the envelope from his arms.

"Oh?"

Xiao Wentao's hand stroking his beard paused and took the letter.

Then he gave the butler a look, and Butler Xiao immediately led his servants out.

"Your Highness, please have some refreshments first."

Chu Yao looked understanding and nodded with a smile, "Grandpa, please help yourself."

Taking the letter and hurried back to the study, Xiao Wentao cleaned up the desk and unfolded the letter paper. When he saw the half of hair, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Looking at the blank letter paper, he took out a candle, lit it, and placed the letter paper on it. Under the baking of the candle flame, the writing gradually appeared.

After reading it, Xiao Wentao frowned and opened the envelope. After seeing the other half of the hair, his expression softened slightly.

"Ru'er should be careful."

Then, he summoned a few dead soldiers with a serious look on his face, "At any cost, we must completely silence the prisoners escorted by the Li family army!"

Back in the hall, when I saw Chu Yao looking around and touching here, Xiao Wentao looked kind again.

"Does His Highness like it?"

Hearing his voice, Chu Yao retracted his hand, "This jade carving is really exquisite."

Seeing this, Xiao Wentao laughed twice and said, "Since you like it, I will give it to His Highness!"

Chu Yao waved his hands quickly, "This is not possible. How can I steal my grandfather's heart?"

"what is this."

Xiao Wentao waved his hand indifferently, "A few days ago, the people below presented a piece of top-quality warm jade the size of a chessboard. If your highness likes it, you can take it back."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yao pressed his thumb hard on the knuckle of his index finger, and his nails almost dug into the flesh.

Warm jade the size of a chessboard?
It’s not even in the private treasuries of the emperor’s father and the emperor’s grandmother!
How could he talk about corruption and bribery so calmly and calmly!

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Xiao Wentao became suspicious and looked at him, "What's going on, Your Highness?"

Chu Yao suddenly came back to his senses, and then scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"I'm not afraid of your ridicule. In my entire life, I have never seen a top-quality jade stone the size of a chessboard."

It turned out to be the case.

Seeing his unfamiliar appearance, Xiao Wentao's doubts dissipated.

"Hahaha..." Xiao Wentao touched his beard and then patted his shoulder.

"It doesn't matter. If you want anything from now on, just tell grandpa. Even if grandpa doesn't have it here, he will try his best to help you find it."

After that, he called the housekeeper and asked someone to take the warm jade to the shop and ask a master to carve it.

The butler bowed his head respectfully, "May I ask what style Your Highness would like? Whether it is a bird or a beast, the craftsmen can carve it lifelike."

Chu Yao thought for a while, "The butterfly doesn't need to be too big, just make it into a jade pendant."

Butterfly pendants, butterfly jade pendants, and butterfly jade hairpins, Yaoyao will definitely like them.

After hearing his answer, Xiao Wentao lowered his eyes and covered up the sarcasm in his eyes.

Butterfly?

Such a character is really not like the Chu family!
In his opinion, a person's temperament can be known from his preferences.

Just like the late emperor and His Majesty both liked tigers, wolves, cheetahs and other beasts.

Even the gentle and gentle prince likes birds of prey like Hai Dongqing...

Like flashy, fragile and short-lived butterflies?
snort!
No matter this, what the Xiao family needs is exactly this kind of useless, weak and incompetent puppet emperor.

It seems that Ruer has taught the third prince well.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wentao was in a good mood and immediately waved his hand.

"Okay! Grandpa will let them carve whatever His Highness likes."

Suddenly, there was a noise outside.

"Who is he? How dare he embarrass me!"
