Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 341 Forgot Prince Yu.

Xu Jinyu was holding a small bag of pearls and was a little skeptical about life.

[Didn't you reward me with a bucket of pearls? Why is it so little? ]

Emperor Xuan: This is the amount of pearls in a hectoliter. How much do you think a hectoliter of pearls is, you uneducated person?

[Shouldn't a hectogram be a box? I read in a novel that a hectogram of pearls can be used to make a pearl shirt. A pearl shirt must have at least a thousand pearls! I only have a few dozen at most. Did someone embezzle it?]

[How dare you embezzle in front of the emperor! How dare you! ]

The Ministry of Revenue official who gave Xu Jinyu pearls: "!!!"

Lord Xu, please don't wrongly accuse me! You are wrongly accusing me in front of His Majesty. How dare I embezzle in front of His Majesty? Do I want to die?

Emperor Xuan pursed his lips. As expected, he could not have any hope for Xu Jinyu's cultural level. Now even her common sense was wrong.

Xu Jinyu picked up the bag: "Master Liu, these pearls..."

Lord Liu forced a smile and said, "Lord Xu, one dou of pearls weighs four jin. I picked the big pearls especially for you. If you don't like them, I can change them to small ones."

The smile on Xu Jinyu's face collapsed!

[One dou of pearls is only four jin! How can it be so little!!!]

It's just so little!!!

Emperor Xuan's eyes widened. With so many people around, who would want to cheat her?

Xu Jinyu pursed his lips in disappointment.

[It doesn't matter if it's less, but I feel like I forgot something? ]

【What did you forget? 】

Xu Jinyu scratched his head.

[It should be very important, why can't I remember it all of a sudden? 】

Emperor Xuan smiled. This was such a normal thing. Sometimes it was like this. You clearly remembered that there was something you wanted to do, but you just couldn't remember it no matter what.

This is a common problem among middle-aged people. How could Xu Jinyu, a young man, start to forget things?

[I remember something related to Prince Yu. What was it? ]

Minister of Revenue: It is related to Prince Yu. Prince Yu was given a warning by His Majesty and now he dares not be too extravagant, let alone rebel. He stays in his fiefdom obediently. He not only sent his own fleet, he even donated a sum of silver to the national treasury, asking His Majesty to pardon the prince's crimes.

Shizi?

Prince Yu! ! !

The Minister of Revenue made a sharp explosion: "Your Majesty! Prince Yu is still in the imperial prison!!!"

Emperor Xuan: I forgot, that means Prince Yu was imprisoned in the imperial prison for more than a year.

When Prince Yu was released from the imperial prison, the fat man had become skin and bones. When he saw Crown Prince Zi Shuyan, he burst into tears.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince… Woohoo… Woohoo… Your Highness the Crown Prince…”

I couldn't utter a single useful word.

Zi Shuyan frowned and said, "What do people in the imperial prison do for a living? Didn't I tell them to take good care of you?"

The jailer said, "Your Highness, we have taken good care of His Highness, providing him with delicious food and even buying him cakes out of our own pockets. But for some reason, His Highness just refuses to eat. We have no choice."

The jailer looked painful, indicating that they were wronged.

Prince Yu was imprisoned, but he was not charged with treason, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had given special instructions, so they would naturally be polite to Prince Yu.

But no one knew what was going on in Prince Yu's mind. He was trembling with fear when he saw a jailer and even knelt down to them.

They were so frightened that they almost flew into heaven on the spot. Later, Prince Yu refused to eat all day and was so hungry that he looked unrecognizable. The jailers were so scared that they bought all the delicious food in the capital with their own money, but Prince Yu still refused to eat.

I don’t know how Prince Yu didn’t starve to death, but this is the current situation.

The jailers said they tried their best.

Zi Shuyan's brows furrowed even deeper. Since the jailer dared to say so, it meant that they did not treat Prince Yu harshly. Then who could have tampered with the imperial prison to make Prince Yu become like this?

Zi Shuyan rubbed his forehead: We need a Xu Jinyu at this time.

【Hahaha... Prince Yu actually scared himself. He was locked up in the prison for more than a year, but he never ate the prison's food. He only ate rats and bugs. He was a fat boy, but he was so hungry that he couldn't even look at himself.】

[The jailer smiled at him, and he felt that the jailer had bad intentions. He even thought that the food the jailer brought him was poisoned. The person in the cell next door gave him rotten steamed buns, and he thought that the cellmate in the cell next door was someone sent by the emperor to assassinate him.]

[The jailer bought him food at his own expense. He thought the jailer couldn't poison him, so he thought of other ways. Even in the middle of the night, when someone in the prison said something, this little fat boy would jump up in fright to see what was going on. His mind was full of images of himself being torn apart by five horses, and he even imagined a scene of meeting his father in the prison.]

[Hahahaha... As expected, from ancient times to the present, there have always been many people who can make up their minds. ]

Eat rats!

Eat bugs!

In order to show closeness, Zi Shuyan suddenly let go of the hand that was holding Prince Yu.

Prince Yu was crying hard when he was suddenly released. His body swayed and he almost fell down.

Seeing the Crown Prince's disgust, Prince Yu finally said something normal: "Your Highness, has the Emperor's uncle finally decided to kill me?"

"Who wants to kill you! I'm here to pick you up personally."

Prince Yu had a mournful expression on his face again, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

【Hahaha·····】

Xu Jinyu's laughter was heard again.

[Prince Yu is thinking, No! Killing me alone is not enough, are you going to release me and kill me together with my father? Doesn’t this unfortunate child understand what I am saying? ]

Zi Shuyan looked at Prince Yu expressionlessly. This unfortunate child really couldn't understand what was said.

However, after being imprisoned for more than a year, it was indeed the royal family's fault, so he could only let out a sigh of relief to comfort Prince Yu: "Prince Yu's family is fine, your father has already apologized for your disrespect, and you can go home when you recover."

Prince Yu looked at the Crown Prince carefully: "Really?"

Prince: "Really."

【Hahahaha... Prince Yu still doesn't quite believe it.】

The prince gritted his teeth: "Xu Jinyu!"

[Ah... How did His Royal Highness know that I was here? I was discovered by the inner guards so quickly. But when did the inner guards tell the prince? Could it be that the inner guards can transmit messages through the air? "]

The prince sighed and looked at Xu Jinyu who was hiding furtively in the corner. The imperial prison was mostly filled with serious criminals, so there were basically no blind spots in the prison. Xu Jinyu thought he was hiding well, but in fact everyone could see him.

"Xu Jinyu, why are you hiding? With your bright head, do you think others are blind?"

"Hey hey hey!"

Xu Jinyu walked out from the corner with a wry smile.

"His Royal Highness."

Zi Shuyan's face darkened: "Why are you here?"

[Of course, it’s to see how Prince Yu was tricked! ]

No matter what he thought in his heart, Xu Jinyu's answer was still very respectful: "Your Highness, I have never seen the Imperial Prison, so I came here specially to see what it looks like."

"finish watching?"

"finish watching."

"Then hurry back!"

"Oh!"

Xu Jinyu ran away, and her voice could be heard from afar.

[Oh my! The prince is in trouble! ! ]

The prince's eyebrows shot up.
