Chapter 1074: Relying on Others' Power as a Fox

ter discovering hot springs, it became a gold mine. Today it's the county magistrate's son who wants to grab it, tomorrow it might be some marquis's son or even a chancellor's son! We might as well b...Jia Yin was amused by the old man's words and burst into laughter. Then she quickly gave the old man a reassurance pill.

"The village head doesn't need to be so nervous. Mr. Jiang said last night that he wouldn't leave Suijin Beach, and would retire here with us."

"Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parents, and Teachers are all to be revered. Mr. Chiang was the teacher of His Royal Highness the Prince, imparting knowledge and nurturing his growth. As long as he is on Broken Gold Beach, the Prince will not harbor any ill feelings towards it."

Perhaps, Your Highness might treat us better since this place is half his home.

The village chief blinked a couple of times, finally breaking into a smile.

"That's the way it is! Scholars respect their teachers! With Mr. Jiang here, our Suijintan will definitely be fine."

He ran home as he spoke, “Mr. Jiang said last night that the jar of wine I was hiding was delicious and there was half a jar left. I’ll just bring it over to him.”

Jia Yin didn't stop her, and even if she wanted to, she couldn't.

The old man is not young anymore, but his legs and feet are still very nimble!

I won't say how a good voice charms the elders in the village, but I will tell you that even the protagonist of their tales, the prince, just finished his meal and is preparing to visit the imperial study.

Just as I turned the corner past Xilong Pavilion, I saw several maids and eunuchs searching everywhere, shouting from time to time, “Three stripes, three stripes!”

The Crown Prince raised an eyebrow and immediately stopped, asking, "Are the three gone"

Several palace maids and eunuchs didn't expect to encounter the Crown Prince, so they were frightened and quickly knelt down by the roadside.

Old Master Feng was just transferred to Xilong Pavilion last night, responsible for attending to the prince's meals and daily life.

Upon seeing this, he immediately stepped forward and rebuked them, "The Crown Prince is asking questions, why haven't you explained things clearly yet"

One of the young eunuchs, quick-witted as he was, hurried a few steps forward on his knees and respectfully replied, "Your Highness, when the County Princess left the palace, she left the little fox with Her Royal Highness as a companion. But last night, the little fox was still sleeping in Zhi Lan Palace, and this morning it disappeared without a trace."

"Your Highness feared the little fox might run away, so she instructed her servants to come out and look for it. Unexpectedly, they blocked the path of His Royal Highness the Prince. Please forgive them, Your Highness."

The Crown Prince nodded, looked around, and then ordered, "Feng Gonggong, leave a few people behind to help with the search."

Feng Gonggong was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Yes, Your Highness, rest assured, this old slave will accompany you to look. As soon as we find it, I'll report back to you."

The Crown Prince glanced at him with satisfaction, then lifted his foot and continued towards the imperial study.

Fenggong took a long, satisfied breath. He felt pleased with himself.

Every day I envied Manager Yi, thinking his luck was so amazing to be sent by the Emperor to serve the Crown Prince.

After that, the Crown Prince ascended to the throne. Was he also like Yi Zuo Guan, the same

The prince, although looking solemn and dignified, was not difficult to get along with.

Well, he's starting to get a sense of the prince's temperament now. The future looks bright!

Thinking this way, he happily led the people to search for the fox with all their might.

As a result, they searched for quite some time but found no trace of him. However, as the prince just turned into the corridor beside the study, he heard commotion ahead.

He subconsciously walked forward and saw a white shadow chirping and hopping around.

It's the little fox that everyone in Zhilan Palace has been searching for!

"Three!" The prince unconsciously blurted out.

The little fox instantly turned its head, perhaps finally seeing a familiar face. It dashed forward and plunged straight into the prince's arms, whimpering with bared teeth, calling out incessantly.

"Alright, alright!" The prince raised his hand to stroke its fluffy fur, holding it securely in his arms and soothingly comforting it, "Don't cry, you'll hurt your voice. Were you bullied I'll get revenge for you!"

The little fox seemed not to understand, and called for quite a while before finally calming down.

The Crown Prince lightly patted its head, then turned to face the embarrassed Duke of Dingbei.

"My lord, what a refined taste you have! To enter the palace in the morning just to bully a little fox"

Lord Dingbei seemed to have been strangled, not a sound could be heard from him!

He had originally planned to enter the palace early, make a good impression in front of the Emperor and the Crown Prince, and hopefully get assigned some tasks to showcase his abilities and loyalty.

Where I least expected it, as soon as I got here, I saw this little fox swaggering past.

If it were other cats or dogs, he wouldn't care.

But this little fox, he was familiar with.

Once upon a time, the Marquis of Xinting specially led his troops into the mountains to hunt down a small fox with three tails, just to entertain his beloved foster daughter.

Because of this matter, he even presented a petition to the emperor, saying that this fox with three tails was a demonic creature.

But the Emperor ignored him completely. Instead, Marquis Xinting found out and gave him a severe reprimand, almost causing him to lose his post of guarding the city gate.

Think again about recent days, he changed sides, betrayed the Empress Dowager, even his descendants will have to bear the stigma of a hundred years, just for a chance at survival.

As a result, Li didn't have to do anything and became the prince's benefactor. Wealth and glory came easily to him...

This is simply too unfair!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help himself, and as the little fox walked past him, he kicked out...

“That… Your Highness, I just happened to pass by, and I don't know what this little beast is doing, going mad like this and trying to bite me…”

Ding Beihou glanced at the little fox, certain it wouldn't speak. Thus, he grew bolder, rolled up his sleeve to reveal the scratches on his arm to the prince.

"Look, this little beast's claws are so sharp! If it goes mad again and bites you or the Emperor, what then It's best to let me handle this creature."

The little fox, perhaps unable to bear his smugness, puffed up its fur, wishing it could dash out immediately and scratch his face until it bloomed.

The crown prince, however, held onto it tightly and sneered at the Duke of Dingbei.

"Your words are quite amusing, Lord Marquis. This little fox was raised by the county princess for many years, and I've interacted with it numerous times before. It has always been gentle and obedient."

"Why did it suddenly go crazy when it saw the Marquis Could it be that the Marquis did something to hurt it"

At this moment, Mr. Feng had already heard the commotion and rushed over.

He rolled his eyes and hurried forward, exclaiming in surprise, "Oh my! Three Tails, what are you doing here The Third Princess has been looking for you everywhere! What happened to your tail Why is it all gray Was someone kicking you"

"Just take a look, old slave will immediately report to the princess and help you get your revenge!"

"When the county princess left the palace, she didn't worry about anything, only that you would be wronged! In just one day, you were beaten. How can the princess explain this to the county princess"

Ding Bei Hou gritted his teeth, secretly furious. The man was clearly a beast, and yet so many people were supporting him after he'd attacked!

He was about to argue further when the prince summoned a young eunuch from not far away.

"Are you here to guide me to Prince Bei Tell me, what did Prince Bei do to anger the three"

The little eunuch stole a glance at Dingbei Hou, hesitating whether to tell the truth.

Sir Feng kicked the little eunuch and scolded, "You dog wretch, who do you think you're showing your face to Is there anyone here more noble than the Prince Have you forgotten who your master is"

The little eunuch shrank his neck in fright, just about to speak when Lord Dingbei had already “plopped” to his knees.
