Chapter 227 Iron Cat

Chapter 227 Iron Cat

"Brother."

The fourth prince and the sixth prince rushed back within the agreed time and saw the eldest prince already waiting for them.

The eldest prince saw his younger brother and sister coming back and nodded to them.

"How about it?"

"Did you find anything?"

"Brother, there is indeed something strange about this Yuqing Pond."

The sixth princess spoke first.

"I walked around and found that apart from us, there was only General Manager Zhao who was patrolling casually, and I couldn't see anyone else."

At this point, the eldest prince and the fourth prince also nodded, which was the same as what they learned.

"Not only that, except for the few soup pools introduced to us by Manager Zhao, the other soup pools are also completely undefended."

The eldest prince understood very well what the fourth prince meant.

In other words, as long as they want to, they can break into the soup pools that Zhao Feng does not allow them to break into at any time.

But the problem is that the reason Zhao Feng gave them before was because there were dangers in these soup pools, so they were not allowed to get close.

But if there is really a danger, then why not guard these soup pools closely.

The eldest prince would never think that this was caused by negligence.

Who is Zhao Feng?

That was the current head of the House of Internal Affairs, the most senior eunuch in the palace.

If he couldn't handle even this little thing, how could he survive to this day?

This is related to the safety of the princes and princesses, so it is absolutely impossible to do it so crudely.

Then the only possibility left is to do it deliberately.

"Brother, is it true that our father has arranged a new competition for us as you said?"

The Sixth Princess asked excitedly.

This time the Sixth Princess was right.

"In this way, we will send people to keep an eye on the movements of the other two first, and then find a way to check the soup pools that General Manager Zhao does not allow us to approach."

"There must be important clues there."

At this time, the fourth prince interrupted.

"Brother, don't forget Manager Zhao, don't forget what he said before."

After being reminded like this, the eldest prince immediately understood.

"I almost forgot. If General Manager Zhao finds us approaching those soup pools, he will kick us out."

"In other words, Manager Zhao is an important obstacle we need to avoid."

"General Manager Zhao said that if he is discovered, he will be driven away."

"So, we must not be discovered when we act."

At this time, the fourth prince volunteered: "Brother, I'll go keep an eye on Mr. Zhao."

The eldest prince and the sixth prince could not help but be stunned.

"Fourth brother, what are you going to do?"

To be honest, even the Sixth Princess was a little surprised.

According to her mood at this time, she would never do such a job as a lookout.

After finally winning a competition in the Imperial Garden, their father even designed a special competition for them in the Yuqing Pond.

The sixth prince wanted to show her face in front of her father and mother, but the fourth prince actually gave up such an opportunity.

If he was responsible for looking out, he would definitely not be able to properly explore the content of the game.

Even if you stay with the supervisor, Manager Zhao, it's hard to tell who is watching whom.

By then, the Fourth Prince will definitely be unable to do anything.

"Fourth brother, it doesn't have to be like this."

"Just arrange for a servant to go there."

The eldest prince said.

The fourth prince turned to look at the three of their attendants, and then said: "If it were just a few of them, they would be driven out immediately and mercilessly by General Manager Zhao."

Without the support of their master, these few servants are nothing in front of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

As long as Zhao Feng felt that he was being watched, he could drive the attendants out of Yuqing Pond.

At that time, they will only lose their manpower in vain.

Although it is still unclear what kind of competition is being prepared in Yuqing Pond, one more person is always an extra boost.

"this……"

The eldest prince also knew that what the fourth prince said was true, and for a moment he didn't know how to continue.

"Let's just decide."

The fourth prince patted the eldest prince on the shoulder, and then left with his attendants to look for the traces of General Manager Zhao.

"Fourth Brother (Fourth Brother)!"

The eldest prince and the sixth prince shouted in unison, but the fourth prince just waved his hands and left.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

The Sixth Princess asked.

"What else can be done?"

"Work separately, don't let down your fourth brother's good intentions."

The eldest prince encouraged his sister, and then prepared to leave with the others.

Before leaving, he did not forget to remind his sister: "You can first go to the soup pools that Mr. Zhao took us to visit before to check. There may be clues."

"I plan to explore the Yuqing Pond first."

Although the sixth princess is not as smart as her two brothers, she is still obedient.

"I know, brother."

"Then be careful."

The three brothers and sisters have since acted separately.

…

Look to the other side.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er still looked relaxed.

Princess Ankang was taking a bath, while Yu'er was feeding her attentively.

"Your Highness, why don't you see A Xuan?"

Seeing that there was no sign of Li Xuan for a long time, Yu'er couldn't help but curiously looked for him on the soup pool.

It's just that the pond is extremely calm, with not even a trace of waves visible.

"Your Highness, isn't Ah Xuan flooded?"

Yu'er's heart suddenly tightened and she felt something was not good.

"Sister Yu'er, don't worry."

"Have you forgotten? Although Ah Xuan is a cat, he can be dog-pawed."

"Is it possible that I fainted from the heat, and then..."

Yu'er habitually guessed in the negative direction.

When she said this, Princess Ankang also blinked her eyes and looked at the calm water, speechless.

"It's not completely impossible."

An idea suddenly flashed through Princess Ankang's mind.

She stood up in a hurry, not caring that the towel slipped from her chest.

With quick eyesight and quick hands, Yu'er pressed the towel on Princess Ankang's chest and felt a burst of warmth.

"Axuan——"

Princess Ankang put her hands on her mouth and shouted with all her strength.

The sound echoed in the empty Yuqing Pond and spread far and wide.

"Axuan..."

"Axuan..."

"mysterious……"

"..."

Until the sound completely stopped, there was still a calm look in the soup pool.

"Axuan..."

Princess Ankang's eyes were filled with moisture, and her voice sounded like she was crying.

The next moment, there was movement on the water.

A ruby ​​hung on a dark tail, raised high like a sail, heading straight for Princess Ankang through the waves.

Swish——

A black "big water rat" jumped out of the soup pool and jumped into Princess Ankang's arms, causing her to fall back into the soup pool.

"Smelly Xuan, where have you gone?"

"It's nothing to worry about."

Princess Ankang said aggrievedly.

Li Xuan quickly acted coquettishly and rubbed his wet head against Princess Ankang, causing Princess Ankang to hide away in disgust.

"Oh, who's big black rat won't mess with you?"

"Hehe, don't dump it, don't dump it."

Princess Ankang's little face broke out within two seconds and she started laughing.

Li Xuan also felt uncomfortable with his wet fur, and threw himself up in Princess Ankang's arms, splashing water all over Princess Ankang and Yu'er.

"Axuan, this is all I brought with me!"

Yu'er was furious.

If the clothes on her body were soaked, she would have nothing to wear in a while.

Li Xuan also knew that he was negligent. Before going to explore the soup pool, he forgot to say hello to the two girls, which made them worried.

At this time, he quickly waved his tail and showed the plum blossom-shaped ruby ​​necklace in front of their eyes.

"Wow, what a beautiful necklace."

"Axuan, where did you pick this up?"

Princess Ankang just looked closer and had no intention of reaching out to take it. She looked at this seemingly expensive necklace with her big eyes.

Li Xuan moved his tail, hung the necklace on Princess Ankang's hand, and then wrote on the ground with his wet tail.

"There is treasure under the pool."

"There should be some in other pools, I plan to check them out."

"Remember the slingshot method? The situation should be similar today."

Li Xuan explained the situation clearly in a few words.

Thanks to Princess Ankang and Yu'er's experience with the slingshot method, they quickly figured out the situation.

"Did they separate the real prizes again?"

Princess Ankang asked with bright eyes. She seemed to like this situation very much.

The last time she went to "borrow" the eldest prince's chess pieces, Princess Ankang came up with a lot of clever ideas and helped Li Xuan a lot.

"Axuan, what do we need to do?"

Princess Ankang also wanted to participate, and Yu'er watched eagerly.

After collecting chess pieces last time, the two girls became addicted to this secret competition.

"You guys keep the baby safe and pretend nothing is wrong."

"Someone will be watching you later."

Li Xuan wrote two more lines on the ground.

"Do you confuse brother and sister?"

"This is simple."

Princess Ankang said, hiding the ruby ​​necklace in her hand in the towel on her chest, and then continued to cover her chest.

Li Xuan looked at this scene and couldn't help but nodded secretly.

"The little girl is indeed very savvy."

He then turned to look at Yu'er.

"It's a pity that Yu'er can't take a bath today, otherwise there would be more places to hide treasures."

On the other hand, Yu'er rolled her eyes at Li Xuan and asked in a bad tone:

"Axuan, what are you looking at?"

Li Xuan quickly turned his head with a guilty conscience and made two "puff" sounds in his mouth.

He wanted to resolve the awkward atmosphere, but found that he couldn't whistle at all.

But these two "puffs" sounded like sneers, which made Yu'er even more unhappy.

"Axuan, I think you are skinny again!"

Yu'er said that she was going to catch Li Xuan.

How could Li Xuan be a little kitten waiting to be killed? He immediately picked up his paws and ran away without giving her a chance.

Li Xuan had investigated clearly before and found that there was only a wooden treasure box in the soup pool in front of him.

It seemed that there was only one treasure chest hidden in a soup pool, and he had to look elsewhere now.

It is best to loot as many treasure chests as possible before others react and concentrate all the rewards in your own hands.

Princess Ankang is taking a bath now, and her brothers will certainly not be able to embarrass her.

But there is something wrong with the Sixth Princess.

After they find that most of the treasure chests have been opened, they will definitely come to find the person who took away the prizes.

Li Xuan thought for a while, maybe the eighth prince was a good target to divert fire.

It would be perfect if the three elder princes and three siblings could be made to suspect that the eighth prince had taken away all the prizes.

"The question is how to frame the fault?"

Li Xuan wanted the eighth prince to take the blame, but he also didn't want to give up any of his treasures.

His stingy character makes him as famous as the Iron Rooster and the Iron Cat.
