The Prodigal: Beauties Don't Run

Chapter 54
"The three Taoist priests are leaving so soon? I only stayed for one night, and the old servant has not been able to serve you well..."

"Thank you, butler. We see that the prince is in good health. We don't need the three of us to stay here for a long time, so we won't get in the way here. Farewell."

The three of us left in a hurry, since Cang Yue has promised to help this poor prince, then we have to do our duty.

"Wait! The old slave must have not prepared well! The old slave knows the prince's body best. It must be that the prince was not polite to the three this morning, and invited the three to stay in the palace tonight." The butler's expression was a little uncomfortable. Good looking and eager to keep us.

I glanced at Yichen, knelt down and asked him, "Teacher, do you want to live here?"

"I think! There are many delicious things in the Wangfu. Yichen likes to eat the cool and icy pastries with a faint peach blossom fragrance."

"As long as the three Taoist priests are willing to stay, this little Taoist priest can eat as many ice peach cakes as he wants!"

I stared at him suspiciously, as if he hadn't noticed it yet, and responded with a smile: "Then I will take care of the housekeeper, and we will stay for another night. If the prince is still like this tomorrow, then we have more than enough energy. "

Today's temptation, although it is impossible to determine what the butler's purpose is, but his behavior is absolutely suspicious.Otherwise, after staying in the palace for many years, Cangming never trusted him, and he used both soft and hard tactics to make us stay, and the purpose should be that Yichen is right.

"Knock, knock!" The door knocked, and a coarse cloth servant came in, holding a plate of pastries and fruits in front of Yichen, it seemed that someone had explained this. "Young master, please use it."

But the servant who came in had no intention of leaving, and Yichen didn't touch any piece of pastry on the table, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Doesn't the young master like to eat this pastry?"

"Yes, but I don't want to eat right now. Why don't you leave?" Yichen looked at him innocently, and the man was at a loss for words again, but Yichen naturally knew why and yawned, "Okay, okay, It's hard for the butler to order someone to bring it here, I'll just eat it, you have nothing to do here, get back." This kid actually has the appearance of being so aggressive, and I don't know where he learned it.

The servant looked at Yichen swallowing a mouthful of ice peach cake, with satisfied eyes, bowed his body and backed away.After that person left, I thought Yichen would spit out the pastry, but I didn't expect that I ate it!Just when I was worried, Bai Ze shook his head and said with a smile: "Feng Yiyi, this kid is a devil, you won't forget it too?"

"Demon?" Why didn't I smell the slightest bit of magic energy on him?However, it seems that I have begun to remember that Yichen has a cloud coat on his body. It seems that I have a lot to remember. "Then he's not a kid at all! Wait, my head hurts a bit, so I've been played by this kid these days." The anger value began to soar.

Yichen put on an innocent face again, and began to act cute: "Sister, Master~ If you break it, you won't be able to complete the task tonight."

I'll spare this kid for the time being, but I'm free. Bai Ze always felt that the sun here was too hot, so he hid in the house with Yi Chen, and senior brother Ning Tian was used to being alone, and the huge palace also No one is looking after us.Wherever I go, I can hardly see a few guards guarding the door, except for a few near the prince's bedroom.

I walked near the lotus pond, and from a distance, I saw the prince alone in the pond, staring in a daze.I approached cheekily: "Hey, my lord, you are not afraid of drying yourself in such a hot day."

"Did you come to see my joke? I thought you left early in the morning."

I poured the tea on the table, took a sip, it was really unpalatable, and stuck out my tongue, "I was going to leave, but I was stopped by the butler again. Under his kind invitation, we were reluctant and agreed to stay. Next... heal your body."

"My king is all right now, don't you know the best?" He continued to speak sarcastically, with a cold look in his eyes.

I rubbed the teacup back and forth with both hands, lowered my head and smiled slightly: "Of course I know the prince's illness the most. As for how you got this illness, I don't know, and this palace seems to have hidden secrets. I wonder who the housekeeper is. I think you should be very clear, my lord. I stayed here for no other reason, but was entrusted by Cang Yue to save the missing children in the city, at least dozens of people died."

Speaking of the missing children in the city, Cangming's face suddenly darkened, with undeniable guilt and self-blame, clenched his fists, smooth knuckles slightly white, gritted his teeth and said: "Do you really think that the evildoer is here?" Are you causing trouble?"

I shook my head and replied: "I'm not sure about this, but you can tell if you are a human or a demon. But you still need the cooperation of the prince." Seeing that his expression softened a little, I dared to continue, "Actually, the prince You are not feeling unwell, but you have been poisoned by a demon, otherwise Cang Yue would not use scales to heal you. For ordinary poisons, as long as the imperial doctor takes the pulse and administers needles, it will naturally be known, but if you have been poisoned by a demon If you are not a cultivator, you will not be noticed at all, and a few drops of demon blood are enough to kill a mortal."

"Why didn't Cang Yue speak up!"

"So what can I say? He himself is neither a human nor a monster. He really doesn't know whether he saved you or harmed you when he said it, so he can only use the scales to prolong your life. I think this is also the villain's treatment of you." Before the death became suspicious, it was rumored that the prince was a monster and the children in the city were missing. After all, a drop of monster blood would consume ten years of cultivation, and monsters must drink the blood of children to maintain their human form and increase their mana."

"It's okay to kill me, but the lives of dozens of children in the city are too innocent!... You have to rescue them no matter what! My king... please..."

He actually begged me?I blushed, but I accepted it with guilt all over my face.With this kind of heart, although he is not a good prince, he can be regarded as a good person.
