Chapter 856: Be careful, the prince didnt come back early

Naturally, the food Housekeeper Cao intercepted would not fall into the mouths of servants. Housekeeper Cao ordered someone to pick out two small dishes, warmed a pot of wine, and asked the guards in the mansion to rush to deliver them to Prince Xiao in the palace.

“Be sure to hand it over to wangye personally, and tell wangye that wangfei has prepared a table of dishes for to have dinner with him. Wangfei is very disappointed that wangye didn’t come back.” This was the truth. Housekeeper Cao doesn’t think there was anything wrong with what he said.

Of course, their princess would be angry if she knew that he had brought food to their prince on his initiative, but their princess would only be angry for a while because of this matter.

For the harmony and stability of Xiao Wangfu, he can only sacrifice himself.

The guard knew what happened today, and immediately rushed to the palace, and after proving his identity, he ran to the temporary office of Prince Xiao.

The house was brightly lit, which shows that Prince Xiao was still dealing with official business at this time. For a moment, the guard wanted to go back. The servants of Xiao Wangfu knew that when their prince was doing something, he doesn’t want to be disturbed by non-important things.

Something like having dinner with their princess was not that important, right?

But the guard thought about it again and felt that the fact that the princess was not happy should be an important thing.

There were only two masters in Xiao Wangfu, their prince and their princess. If their princess was unhappy, their prince will not be happy either. When the time comes, the two masters will be in a bad mood, and everyone will not have a good life.

For the sake of Xiao Wangfu, the guard stepped forward boldly and let the little eunuch guarding the door go in to report, but before he finished speaking, the little eunuch shook his head repeatedly: “No, no, no, wangye said, no one should disturb you.”

“I have…” The guard said again, but he still didn’t finish and was interrupted by the little eunuch: “I know you are from Xiao Wangfu. If you want to go in by yourself, this servant dare not stop you.” Kill him if he wanted to, but he didn’t have the guts to disturb Prince Xiao.

Prince Xiao was too serious when he was doing his work, he didn’t dare.

The guard glared at the little eunuch who was afraid of death, straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and then stepped forward to knock on the door: “Wangye, this humble subordinate Tianqi, wanted to seek an audience, please.”

Tianqi was Prince Xiao’s confidant and personal guard, if not for this, he would not have come here smoothly.

“Come in.” Prince Xiao’s cold voice came from inside the room. No one could tell any emotion from the voice, but Tianqi’s heart still skipped a beat in shock.

Before this, no one dared to disturb their prince’s work. This was the first time. He hoped their prince will take consideration and ignore his recklessness for the sake of their princess.

“Wangye.” The guard came in while tightening his hand holding the food box.

“What’s the matter?” Xiao Tianyao put down the unfinished booklet in his hand.

He knew his subordinates, they will never disturb him if there was no important matter.

“This… is prepared by wangfei for you.” The guard lifted the food box but did not dare to rush forward.

“Wangfei?” Xiao Tianyao was shocked, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his face was still serious: “Bring it up.” It was rare for that stupid woman to remember him, but it was a pity that she didn’t send it in person. He was a little regretful.

The guard carefully placed the food box in front of Xiao Tianyao, and smartly open it on his initiative.

Xiao Tianyao suppressed the joy in his heart, pretended not to care, brought the food box in front of him, opened it expressionlessly, and frowned when he saw the dishes in the food box: Why were they all cold dishes? Or a dish he doesn’t like.

However, thinking that Lin Chujiu didn’t spend much time with him, it was normal not to know what he likes to eat. Xiao Tianyao generously didn’t care.

“You can go out.” After a busy day, he was indeed hungry, and the food delivered by Lin Chujiu was too timely.

The overjoyed Prince Xiao automatically ignored the cold dishes in the food box that was not enough to fill his stomach and only cared about Lin Chujiu’s hard work.

“Wangye, there is one more thing…” The guard finally understood why the little eunuch outside the door didn’t dare to come in.

Facing the serious prince, the pressure was too great.

“Speak.” Xiao Tianyao’s eyes swept over the two dishes on the table and landed on the guard, showing a hint of impatience.

The guard swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes, and said quickly: “Wangye, wangfei went to the kitchen to arrange the dishes in person tonight. She waited for wangye for 2 hours, but since wangye didn’t come back, she went to eat in the backyard alone.”

After finishing speaking, the guard quietly opened his eyes and took a look at Xiao Tianyao. Seeing that Xiao Tianyao was still serious and expressionless, he hurriedly said: “Wangye, I finished talking, I will resign.”

The guard bowed back, but Xiao Tianyao stopped him just two steps away: “Wait!”

“Yes, wangye.” The guard stood up straight but did not dare to look at Xiao Tianyao.

“Stay outside tonight, no one is allowed to come in or out.” Xiao Tianyao got up and didn’t even clean up the booklets on the table. He just put the two dishes he just took out back into the food box, carried them in his hands, and went out.

“Wang, wangye?” Seeing Prince Xiao walking past him, the guard was dumbfounded.

He, he, did he read wrong? Their prince left his official duties and went back to the mansion to have dinner with their princess.

“Keep them safe, no one is allowed to enter or leave except benwang.” There were many important documents in it, one-third of which were written by him, and they cannot fall into anyone’s hands before he announces them.

“This humble subordinate takes orders.” The guard stood up with a “snap”, gave a military salute, turned around and stood behind Xiao Tianyao, went out with Xiao Tianyao, and then locked the door.

“Wangye, what are your orders?” The little eunuch who was guarding not far away saw Xiao Tianyao coming out and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

“Lead the way, benwang is going out of the palace.” Xiao Tianyao said coldly, and the little eunuch who had nothing to do to take over the food box carried it in his hand.

No matter how anxious he was, he won’t show it at this moment. For the time being, he doesn’t want people to know how important Lin Chujiu was to him, it will be dangerous for Lin Chujiu.

“Yes, yes.” The little eunuch held up a lantern and quickly led the way.

Not long after, the little eunuch sent Xiao Wang out of the palace. Before the little eunuch could speak, Prince Xiao took the food box, got on his horse, and rode away.

No one can spy on Prince Xiao’s every move in the house, but once he leaves the house, there were countless pairs of eyes in the dark, watching his every move. As soon as Prince Xiao left, they saw him carrying a food box on his back, and the news of his eagerness to return home spread quietly.

“The guard of Xiao Wangfu brought a food box to see Xiao Wangye, and after saying a few words, Xiao Wangye hurried out of the palace with the food box. What could be in the food box?”

“What is so important that Xiao Wangye puts down his official duties and returns home?”

“That food box is not an ordinary thing. The people in Prince Xiao’s Mansion use food boxes to hide things.”

That night, countless people suffered from insomnia because of the food box in Prince Xiao’s hands. They guessed a lot of things and even guessed that the food box contained jade seals, but no one guessed that there was food in it.

Lin Chujiu didn’t know, that just two unremarkable dishes made most of the people in the capital move, and even some people with guilty consciences began to feel uneasy… …
