Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 422 The Rabbit and the Jackal (Part [-])

When Lin Yi came out of the East Palace, it was almost three o'clock.

The Imperial Forest Army was still guarding the door. He climbed over the wall and came out without disturbing a single soldier. When he landed lightly, he happened to see a black figure flashing past the low wall. When he got up and chased after him, he saw nothing.

If it was a normal day, maybe he would have to check his surroundings, but today he was in a gloomy mood, and he was vaguely uncontrollable amidst the lingering murderous aura. on the trail.

Li Yuqi didn't care about Xianyue, an abandoned son. In his opinion, he had repeatedly targeted Li Yiwei over the years, but had little effect. Although he was obsessed with this matter, he had long since looked down on whether the result would be possible.Left and right, he was not the one who planned it, and it was not himself who was involved in the danger. No matter how bad the result was, it would not affect the status and reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But for Lin Yi, if he didn't succeed, he would lose everything.He wanted the royal family of Li's father and son to turn against each other, and brother to brother, and none of them could escape... He walked on the road with his hands behind his back, his fingertips pinched into his palms behind his back, and his good eye looked at everything that he could see. Between three inches of heaven and earth, his eyes were full of evil spirits. He gritted his teeth, grinding the sockets of his back teeth a little bit, and smiled coldly.

I vaguely think of the garden in the back of the day, the daylight was just right, the girl with ordinary looks but with broken golden sunlight in her eyes, she was the only person in this time and space who knew her past.She looked so weak, so powerless, timid and uneasy like a rabbit that broke into a pack of wolves.But even though she was so obviously afraid, she still accused him word by word, "You are the same as them, and you also regard life as an ant."

It was also in this three-inch world, if he didn't bother to lift up the hood a little, he could only see the skirt of her lower body.Perhaps, Little Rabbit didn't know it herself. When she said those words, her body was trembling, and the trembling skirt cast a faint shadow on the ground.

Yes, of course they are the same, after all, the same blood flows, the same thick black blood that is turbid, filthy, and foul-smelling.

Unlike that girl, even though she shivered like a bunny in front of power, she was bright and warm.

live under the sun.

Someone ran over with cats and cats walking all the way, licked his face and greeted him with a smile, "Master, master... My Highness invites you..."

Ever since the Daoist religion was encircled and suppressed, Lin Yi stopped being called a celestial master, and everyone called him a master.His eyes fell on the bent knees of the servant in front of him. After a long while, he slowly straightened his back and replied, "Yes. Got it... let's go now. You should go back and report to your life first."

The boy lowered his knees again, and trotted away in response to the sound.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he took small steps when he came, and when he left... trotted a few steps, and then seemed to run for his life, probably exhausted all his energy.

In the dark night, Lin Yi let go of the hands clasped behind him, slowly took off his hood, and watched the boy disappear at the end of the road.He thought, although the days under the sun are enviable, the little white rabbit under the sun is also the target of bullying, it would be better to be a jackal, tiger and leopard in the night, and have a better time...

Thinking of this, he continued to put on the hood, walked fast, lowered his head and quickly walked towards the direction the boy left.

……

East Palace.Brightly lit.

The master finally woke up after five days. The servants were busy preparing meals, those who waited on the baths, prepared soap, and prepared new clothes.

Although it was late at night, Li Yuqi didn't feel sleepy at all, after all, he had slept for five days.According to the imperial physician's previous instructions, he ate some fragrant lean meat porridge and some snacks, and then asked someone to find Xiaoyuan.

The girl was still the same girl from before, her face was still the same, the shivering look he liked very much before, and the night was just right.

Li Yuqi really liked this face, no matter how many times he looked at it, he would never get tired of it, but the previous face was always showing a bit of dismissive pride and coldness, which displeased him.Therefore, when Lu Jiangjiang sent this face again, he only felt his blood spurting to the point that his heart beat faster—he wanted this face to kneel under his feet and lick his shoes for him!

That's what he told himself at the time.

But at this moment, Li Yuqi looked at the girl below, his eyes were no longer charming, he just asked coldly, "What do you want to say?... This is your last chance, let's talk after you think about it."

Xiaoyuan lowered her head slowly, knelt down on the ground, and after a while, said in a low voice, "I... I don't know."

The thinly dressed girl slowly leaned towards Li Yuqi, holding a glazed cup in one hand, and passing a frozen fruit in the other, without looking at the woman on the ground, she just smiled softly, "Your Highness... just a servant. No To be honest... just beat him to death with a stick and threw him out."

Li Yuqi lowered his head and took the fruit in his mouth, and rolled it between his teeth bit by bit, with a big smile, "No hurry... Wait for Ben Gong to find someone, lest she say that Ben Gong is not good at drinking and is greedy, and gets herself drunk After five days... If there are three people sitting at the same table, and two of them pass out drunk, and she is the only one left awake, wouldn't it mean that she should cry when she sees the coffin?"

"Your Highness is smart..."

Xiaoyuan was still kneeling, her body trembled slightly, but she didn't say a word.

Soon, the servant came in a hurry, walked up to Li Yuqi and whispered something in his ear. Li Yuqi was absent-minded, as if he didn't hear clearly, he blinked and asked, "What did you say?"

"The one in the west courtyard of Nong Yuzhu...is missing." The boy repeated it again, in a very low voice, and added, "The slave asked the concierge and said that he left through the corner gate after nightfall, and he didn't bring anything with him. , only said that His Highness woke up and wanted to eat Linglong dumplings from Xuanhetang... the concierge didn't suspect him, so he let him out, and he hasn't returned yet, probably... ran away."

Li Yuqi's complexion changed again and again, his brows were all knit together, the witness ran away overnight, but the suspect stayed in the house stupidly and slept peacefully...

While hesitating in his heart, he heard the servant next to his ear say again, "Your Highness... This servant just looked at it. Hearing that His Highness woke up and ran away, it seems like he is fleeing in fear of crime... This matter probably has nothing to do with Miss Xiaoyuan ..."

The voice was lowered, the woman in his arms couldn't hear clearly, she twisted her waist into his arms, pinched her throat and asked, "What did His Highness say... I want to hear it too..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuqi was pushed out by the restless Li Yuqi, "Get out!" The force of the push was not strong, and the woman was not prepared to accidentally fall to the ground. She was terrified and did not dare to get up, just bent over The legs backed away without a word.

Li Yuqi looked at Xiaoyuan below, hesitated for a moment, and finally coughed, "Get up."
