I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

Chapter 160: More danger than good

Shangguan Yue slowly opened the cloth bag. Inside lay a colorful feather with purple light emitting from the edge. She reached out to pick up the feather.

"Sister Yue'er, just watch. This thing is so strange. It can talk and take on human form. It also asked me to save her and hand her over to you after I save her."

"What did you say? You are not going to take the Imperial Study's..."

"Yes! It's the one in my father's imperial study."

"You are not afraid of death! Your father will kill you if he knows. You are stealing things from the imperial study! It is said that your father looks at and touches this feather every day. If he finds that it is missing, when did you take it?"

"I've had it for a few days. Sister Yue'er, don't worry. I put a fake one in there. Father won't know."

"You are stupid! You said that the real one can talk, so how can the fake one get away with it? But why hasn't the emperor discovered it in the past few days?"

"Father was so happy that my sister was finally getting married that he drank a few more glasses of wine and passed out. The hangover triggered an old headache and he's been sick for a few days."

"So you were just lucky to have escaped these few days. You should take it back!"

"No, haven't you always liked this?"

"How do you know I like it?"

"Last time in the Imperial Study, you were given the title of County Lady, and you just stared at me without blinking. Your lusty look was like that of a fool!"

"You are the fool! Your whole family is fools!"

"........."

"Miss, this is bad! Something terrible has happened!"

"What happened? Don't worry, tell me slowly."

"Yes! Why are you in such a hurry? Tell your lady quickly!"

"Ninth Prince, why are you still here? Miss, this matter... this matter..."

"Ninth Prince, you'd better go back first! Take this back with you." Shangguan Yue stuffed the small cloth bag back into the Ninth Prince's hands.

"I can go, but you have to accept this, otherwise I won't leave. Also, please don't call me the Ninth Prince in the future, okay? I am two years older than you, and you said you would call me Brother Yunteng. I only allow you to call me that, no one else can."

"You, you...Okay! I'll take it. Aren't you afraid of your father's punishment or being implicated?"

"I'm not afraid. No one in the palace wants to play with me. You are the only one who is willing to be my friend and play with me. I am very happy to know you and be your friend."

"Xiao Jiu..."

Shangguan Yue's throat tightened a little. From the beginning, she just wanted to make money from him and have sex with him. She never thought of being friends.

She didn't dare to be friends with the prince. If he was unhappy, she could easily lose her head. So she never regarded him as a friend, but only as a silly and innocent person, a golden leg.

But I didn't expect that he would risk his life to steal the thing and give it to her just because she liked it. Although Ning Zhenzhen fanned the flames, he would never have stolen it for her if she didn't want it.

He is really not just an ordinary fool. I just hope he won't be so stupid for everyone in the future. If he is too stupid, he will suffer more harm in the future.

"Don't call me Xiaojiu." The Ninth Prince looked at Shangguan Yue pitifully.

"Hey! All right! Brother Yun Teng, you have to be good and protect yourself carefully. Send someone to tell me if anything happens. Go back now!"

"Yes! Sister Yue'er, I understand. Can I hug you?"

"Miss, he is a pervert!" Bai Zhi glared at the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince shrank his fat body. He just wanted to hug his sister! There was only one princess in their royal family, the elder sister, who was fierce and ugly.

There is no one as cute as Yue'er. He also wants to have a sweet little sister. When he grows up, he will marry such a sweet and soft sister as his princess.

"Bai Zhi, he is a prince!" How disrespectful! If the Ninth Prince really makes a fuss, ten Bai Zhis would not be enough to kill him.

Bai Zhi was also scared. This was the prince! If she really offended him, her head would be in danger, but she couldn't let the young lady suffer!

"Brother Yunteng, take care!"

Shangguan Yue stepped forward, gave the Ninth Prince a gentle hug, then pushed him toward the small door. She watched him walk out the door stupidly, then quickly closed the door and pulled Bai Zhi back into the house.

Baizhi said that something big had happened. What exactly had happened?

"Bai Zhi, tell me what happened!"

"Hey, that Ninth Prince is in the way, something's happened to Miss Zeng!"

"What? Didn't I tell Shangnan to watch it? How could something go wrong?"

"It is said that Miss Zeng tried to murder the princess of the dynasty and was taken away by people from the Dali Temple."

"Impossible! Even if it was murder, why wasn't it handed over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation? Why did the people from the Dali Temple take him away?"

"I'm not sure about that. Oh! Shangnan is back. Shangnan, you tell me."

"Miss, it's my fault. I didn't do my job well. Please punish me."

"Now is not the time to talk about this. It's not your fault. It seems that Princess Changping had a plan. She came prepared. My elder sister asked the princess to discuss marriage, which should be about divorce, but the princess didn't mean that. She might want my elder sister to die!"

"My lady, our people are eavesdropping in the secret room. This princess is indeed here with ill intentions. She is not here to discuss marriage matters at all. She just wants Miss Zeng to die.

Miss Zeng asked the princess out not to discuss marriage, but to ask the princess to help persuade Cheng Rui to divorce her, and to ask her to treat Miss Cheng's two children well after the divorce.

But the princess does not want a divorce. She wants Miss Zeng to disappear forever. Even if she cannot disappear, she will be divorced by Master Cheng for murdering the princess. Instead of a divorce, she will be sent to prison. Miss, this princess is really vicious!"

"They are all bad guys. No wonder they were taken to the Dali Temple so quickly. They were afraid that my elder sister's brother was in the Ministry of Justice and she couldn't get involved. This princess has a vicious heart. How did my elder sister murder her?"

"According to the information provided by the Dali Temple, Miss Zeng was jealous of the princess marrying Cheng Rui and wanted to get rid of him, so she made an excuse to ask the princess to discuss marriage and pushed her down the stairs."

"Pushed down the stairs? Which floor did she fall from? Are there any witnesses?"

"It rolled down the stairs from the second floor to the first floor. The second floor is the private room, so the only witnesses were our Lanyue Pavilion employees. The first floor is the lobby, and the witnesses were all guests."

"As expected of someone who came from the palace, she must have checked the relationship between me and my elder sister. The employees of my Lanyue Pavilion naturally side with my elder sister, so her confession does not count.

The guests on the first floor were all unaware of the previous events. As long as they saw the princess fall and asked her why she pushed them, they would be completely convicted of the crime.

The stairs from the second floor to the first floor are all wooden. There is a turning buffer platform about two meters away. The edges of the buffer zone are wrapped with soft bags. My mother designed it to prevent customers from accidentally falling and getting hurt. If it was designed in advance, there would be no damage at all... Is the princess injured?"
