The next day, Shi Jinchen and his group prepared to pack, preparing to set out on their journey back to the capital. Xiao Sui followed closely behind. After the poison incident last night, a layer of shadow had been cast over her pure heart. When she looked at Crown Prince now, she couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over her body.
Who would have thought that the current Crown Prince, which seemed gentle and refined on the surface, would constantly plan to kill their own biological brother? Such sinister thoughts were actually placed on such a person whose affinity was extremely high, and upon thinking about the huge difference between the two, the Xiao Sui couldn't help but shiver, and then leant towards the Shi Jinchen beside him, trying hard to act as a qualified and competent maid.
"I haven't seen you in a night, but this maid of yours is getting closer to you." Shi Jinhan who was riding on a horse in front suddenly turned back, and joked while looking at the master and servant.
"Hmph, at least she's sensible." Even though Shi Jinchen could not be seen, he was still acutely aware that the little girl beside him had become abnormal, and appeared to be especially obedient.
"What are Fourth Brother's plans after returning to the capital this time?" Shi Jinhan quietly observed his fourth brother, intending to read some words from his cold expression. However, his focused gaze on the area in front of him did not reveal the slightest bit of abnormality, and his Shi Jinhan could not help but feel somewhat disappointed.
"Now that Crown Prince is taking care of me like this, who has no power or influence, it actually surprises me a little." The most important thing for me to do after returning to the capital is naturally to meet royal father. Since Crown Prince are official affairs and my body is deeply loved by royal father, I naturally do not have these concerns. This unknown Fourth Prince of mine actually needs to go to the palace and pay respects to royal father from time to time, so as to prevent him from forgetting that he has such a young son. "
Xiao Sui looked at the clearly ugly face of Crown Prince in front of him, and silently facepalmed in his heart, "Think about it, my Xiao Sui has always been intelligent.
Seeing that his Crown Prince failed to detect and instead brought about a self-deprecating ridicule, the Xiao Sui couldn't help but sympathize with this cunning fox. Unfortunately, no matter how much sympathy it had, the originally faint rising fondness towards him fell to a negative level after the poison incident, and it was hard to increase anymore.
Since the founding of the Southern Champion Kingdom, the people had always been simple and honest, and there was an endless stream of people entering and exiting the ferry trade. The procession arrived at a prosperous town, and Xiao Sui looked at the strange people walking around them.
"Hmph. You are indeed a country girl. You don't even know anything about her." Shi Jinchen was unable to see the prosperous scene around him, but he could hear the occasional exclamations from the servant girl beside him. He, who was a proud son of heaven, was unable to calm down in the face of such unfair treatment, and he could not help but ridicule her.
Xiao Sui rolled his eyes silently, "Yes, yes, yes. A servant like me who was born in the countryside should naturally have a short vision, and with your highness' dragon and phoenix appearance, I think it's natural for you to watch various races trading." What should I do, serve this arrogant Fourth Prince for a few days, feel that I am already "invulnerable".
"At least you know your own limitations." Last night, he did not eat because of the matter of poison, and the next day, he returned to the capital to heal his eyes. He woke up early to hurry back, it was already noon, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
"Gulp —" A strange sound rang between the two of them who were silent. Xiao Sui, who were hurrying along absent-mindedly, was startled awake by this sudden sound and was a little baffled as he subconsciously looked towards Shi Jinchen, "What are you looking at? Shi Jinchen's two cheeks and ears were completely flushed red, matching with her pretty face, it seemed as though she was extremely embarrassed.
"Puchi —" Xiao Sui looked at Shi Jinchen whose face was flushed red to the ears, and finally understood what was going on. Even though he was trying his best to hold back his laughter, a few sounds were still leaked out. Your Highness, just speak your mind when you are hungry. With such a noble body, you cannot afford to starve until your Xiao Sui is destroyed. "
"Shut up, hurry up and get me something to eat!" Shi Jinchen became angry from embarrassment, and waited for the chattering little girl beside him to run over and buy food, only then did the heat on his face slowly disappear, just that this disgraceful scene was most likely going to become the failure of his life.
The Shi Jinchen quietly stayed where it was, completely ignoring the Shi Jinhan that had come to speak with it. It only replied that it was tired, and continued to fight with the crown prince for too long, until the crown prince left, making it seem even more impatient.
Only when he was suddenly stuffed with a hot and fragrant ball of something did he understand that the clever and eccentric maid had finally returned. He could not help but fiercely knock on Xiao Sui's forehead.
"It hurts, it hurts ~" Xiao Sui's eyes were filled with tears as he held his forehead. In the end, how could she possibly make this prince unhappy?
"I told you to go buy some food, did you go for a stroll? Why did you take so long to come back?!" He was right, was he a worm in my stomach? Xiao Sui shrank his neck in guilt.
"Aren't I picking out what you like to eat, Prince? How about it? I've bought you the most famous" Dog's Disregarding Bun "in this town. I haven't even eaten one myself. How about a taste?"
"Humph!" Hearing Xiao Sui's flattery, Shi Jinchen finally opened his mouth and started to eat this "local famous" bun.
The dough in his mouth carried the unique fragrance of a meat bun, and was matched with the sweet and refreshing soy milk.
Xiao Sui let out a sigh of relief when he saw that he had eaten his fill, and pushed his way to Shi Jinchen's side fawningly, continuing to act as a dutiful and dutiful servant girl.
"Fourth brother, after we cross this city, we will be at the capital after a few more hills. At that time, the two of us will have a good drink together. We won't be able to get back until we're drunk, hahaha."
Shi Jinchen casually laughed with the crown prince, such hypocritical brotherly feelings were truly loathsome.
Shi Jinhan saw that Shi Jinchen was obviously impatient, so he found a reason to go to the front of the line.
"How is everything?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, this subordinate has already bought that group of bandits. The hill in front of us will definitely cause Fourth Prince to disappear without a trace."
"Yes, everything will go according to plan. Shi Jinchen, ah, Shi Jinchen, let's see who can save you this time. " Shi Jinhan looked at the master and servant behind him, who were occasionally bickering with each other.
