PFC Chapter 268 Foreign Aid
Chapter 268 Foreign Aid
However, the Fifth Prince and his men had tried tirelessly and repeatedly, searching carefully every place they could think of, even the most remote and secluded, but they still could not find the entrance to the secret room.
"Fourth brother, sixth brother, you take your men and watch here first. I will go to find some external help. I will be back soon!" The fifth prince said hastily, without waiting for the fourth prince Li Shen and the sixth prince Li Cheng to react, and hurried away with big strides like the wind.
"Fifth brother, where are you going..." They are both princes, but he and the Sixth Prince are just decorations! The Fourth Prince Li Shen, who reacted, hurriedly asked anxiously, but the Fifth Prince had already disappeared.
After the Fifth Prince left, the Sixth Prince no longer concealed his irritation on his face. He waved his hand and dispersed the people around him. "Fourth brother, my legs are really unbearable. Let's go to the pavilion and rest for a while?"
The fourth prince Li Shen looked around and saw that everyone looked tired, so he simply agreed. "Okay!"
But he didn't expect that after sitting down for a while, the Sixth Prince couldn't help but mutter: "Fourth brother, when did the Fifth Prince become so close to the First Prince? He even asked for help to find a secret room for the First Prince? Is there something wrong here?"
Isn't this obvious? It's too late to realize it now.
The Fourth Prince was thinking this in his heart, and his eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.
However, he still maintained a warm expression on his face, and said slowly: "Sixth brother, this matter was instructed by the emperor."
"So, what is hidden in this that could allow the eldest and fifth brothers to have no complaints, and also get the approval of our father?" Due to his disability, Concubine Xian took good care of the Sixth Prince, and the Emperor turned a blind eye to it.
Because of this, the Sixth Prince can be said to be the one with the simplest mind among all the princes.
No matter where they were, the Sixth Prince pulled the Fourth Prince aside and started chatting.
The fourth prince was so exhausted that he said helplessly: "No matter what it is, we are just spectators. Don't worry, we will know it eventually."
The Sixth Prince smirked upon hearing this: "Oh, is that so?"
"I thought we could at least get involved and figure out the twists and turns here sooner."
The Fourth Prince pretended not to hear what the Sixth Prince said and drank his tea in silence with his head down.
If the Sixth Prince spoke again, he would just eat the snacks and drink tea on the table.
So, when the Fifth Prince brought Chu Ci to the Prince of Shu's Mansion, the Fourth Prince was stunned because he kept eating snacks and drinking tea, and he was full!
As soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help burping.
"Fifth brother, the lady you invited...hiccup, if...hiccup...I am not mistaken...hiccup, the nanny beside her is Nanny Zhang who is beside our mother...hiccup..."
The frightened Fifth Prince quickly ordered someone to bring a cup of warm water over, and said with concern: "Fourth brother, drink some water first to calm down. Don't worry, if there is anything, we can talk about it after you recover."
Unfortunately, the Fifth Prince's method didn't work at all. The Fourth Prince continued to speak intermittently with hiccups: "I...hiccups...no...hiccups"
This look was really unbearable to watch, Chu Ci couldn't help but said: "Who among you knows where the Zanzhu acupoint is, press it on him."
Unfortunately, most people do not know where the Zanzhu acupoint is. Even if some of them know it, they are afraid of pressing the wrong point due to its special location.
Helplessly, the Fifth Prince could only sigh and said helplessly: "Fourth Brother, I'm sorry."
Fortunately, the Fourth Prince was lucky. After about a minute, the hiccups finally stopped.
It was just that he had made such a big fool of himself in front of so many people. The Fourth Prince's face turned red and he looked a little embarrassed. However, he still had to be polite, so he thanked Chu Ci solemnly: "Thank you, Princess Yixin, for your help. I was really impolite just now."
"Do you know my identity?" Chu Ci knew that the Fourth Prince did not want to mention the embarrassing scene just now, so he took the opportunity to say this seemingly nonsense sentence.
Sure enough, the Fourth Prince looked much more relaxed after hearing this. "I have to know. After all, the trip of my eldest brother and fifth brother back to the capital caused quite a stir."
As soon as the Fourth Prince finished speaking, the Sixth Prince came over excitedly and asked, "Fifth Brother, is Princess Yixin the foreign aid you are looking for?"
This one sentence brought everyone present back to the main topic.
The fifth prince nodded immediately, then turned to Chu Ci and said, "Princess Yixin, please help me!"
Chu Ci nodded slightly when he heard this, and immediately replied: "I'll try my best."
After saying that, Chu Ci went to the eldest prince's study in a neat and tidy manner, took out a stethoscope and put it on, tapping and listening carefully all the way, and soon found the corner door on the wall between the Palace of the Prince of Shu and the Palace of the Prince of Qi.
The Sixth Prince was immediately astonished: "This, this, this is too amazing! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that Princess Yi Xin had come earlier!"
Chuci, [There is no need to complain so accurately! ]
After opening the hidden corner door, Chu Ci immediately stepped out, bowed slightly, and said slowly: "I think there is nothing for me to do next. In this case, I will take my leave first!"
When the people present saw Chu Ci was about to leave, they naturally knew that she was doing this to avoid suspicion.
The fifth prince spoke first, "Thank you so much for your help, my Lord. If it weren't for your help, this matter would not have been resolved so smoothly."
Chu Ci smiled and responded: "Your Highness the Fifth Prince is too kind. I'm glad I can help. It's my honor."
The fourth prince also said, "My lord, you have worked hard. Walk slowly. Be careful on your way back."
Chu Ci nodded gently: "You are welcome, goodbye."
Everyone bowed and said, "Princess, take care. I look forward to seeing you again in the future."
Chu Ci nodded slightly, then turned and left.
But along the way, Nanny Zhang seemed to be hesitant to speak several times, and her expression showed a bit of confusion.
Chu Ci noticed that Nanny Zhang was acting strange, and said, "Nanny Zhang, I noticed that you seemed to be hesitant to speak several times along the way. What do you want to say? Why don't you just say it."
Nanny Zhang didn't expect Chu Ci to be so direct. She was stunned for a moment, and then she hesitated again and again. "Princess, do you know how many people will be afraid of the ability you showed today?"
Chu Ci smiled slightly, his eyes turned slightly, and he opened his red lips lightly: "Mammy, did you also believe my performance just now?"
"Performance? Everything the princess did just now was fake? Why?" Nanny Zhang was shocked. She never expected that Chu Ci would casually tell such a big secret.
However, Chu Ci did not rush to explain, but just smiled mysteriously and said: "Secret, Mammy, you will understand when the time comes."
