After Xiao Luoyi agreed, he was taken into an exquisite and small courtyard.

A tall and tall man with his back facing Xiao Luoyi.

The prefect's attitude was respectful: "Ms. Xiao, please come in."

The man turned back and looked at Xiao Luoyi, his eyes warm.

Xiao Luoyi looked at the other party's face and his heart skipped a beat!

"Hello, Mrs. Xiao." The man gave Xiao Luoyi a fist-cup salute in a polite manner.

Xiao Luoyi suppressed the shock in his eyes and returned a salute: "Hello, young master."

"I have admired Madam Xiao's name for a long time. Today I specially asked the magistrate to introduce me. Madam Xiao will come and tell me how to behave and how to behave in the future."

The young man has handsome features, a tall figure and a straight back.

At this time, the man acted like a humble gentleman, and the hairs on Xiao Luoyi's back stood up.

She laughed dryly: "Please forgive my blindness, I can't see it."

The young man laughed: "It seems that Madam Xiao has figured out my identity, but she refuses to say it clearly because of her awkward position?"

At the end of the sentence, there was a vague threat in his tone.

Xiao Luoyi's hair stood on end. After taking a few deep breaths, he chose to break the jar and smash it: "If you want to say that, that's fine."

The young man was stunned for a moment: he obviously didn't expect Xiao Luoyi to admit it!

This made her even more surprised: "I didn't expect Madam Xiao to be so capable. She could see through my identity at a glance."

Xiao Luoyi stood up generously: "I have met the noble man."

He just didn't say who the other party was.

"Since you are being honest, I won't beat around the bush."

"Your Majesty, please speak." Xiao Luoyi was neither humble nor overbearing.

At this time, attitude is the least important thing, and goals are more important.

"Do I still have a chance?"

Xiao Luoyi looked at the other party's appearance carefully and shook his head slowly: "No."

The man's face was obviously disappointed. After a moment, he asked again: "Then am I still alive?"

Xiao Luoyi did not answer directly this time, but said with strict logic: "Not necessarily."

"What do you mean by uncertainty?" The man didn't understand and suspected that Xiao Luoyi was unwilling to tell the truth.

Xiao Luoyi looked calm: "If you don't seek death, you won't die. If you seek death, you will definitely die."

man:"……"

He understood this.

Xiao Luoyi looked at him seriously, thought about it again and again, and spoke cautiously.

"Actually, destiny is not entirely determined. Apart from accidents, it is more composed of countless choices."

"Every choice will affect your future life and destiny to a greater or lesser extent..."

"Every choice you made has brought you to where you are today."

"And every choice you make from now on will affect your future destiny."

"If you can be open-minded, you will naturally grow old smoothly."

"Now that the situation has become a reality, if you forcefully retain what has been lost, the final result may not be what you want."

As soon as Xiao Luoyi finished speaking, he bowed, turned and left.

Not far outside, the prefect was leading Chen Huaijin to stand there. The two of them seemed to be having some minor disagreements. Chen Huaijin had a dark face, while the prefect was laughing along with him.

Seeing Xiao Luoyi coming out, Chen Huaijin loosened his grip on the dagger and immediately came forward to greet him.

The prefect subconsciously looked in the direction of the small courtyard. The door of the small courtyard was ajar, and no one inside came out.

Chen Huaijin held Xiao Luoyi's hand: "Let's go."

Xiao Luoyi nodded and looked at the prefect.

The Lord Magistrate was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly understood and handed over a box. Inside was a stack of banknotes, as much as two thousand taels.

For a court official who prides himself on being honest, this amount of money is already an astronomical figure.

However, Xiao Luoyi didn't seem to care whether it was abnormal or not. He just put the box away casually and said goodbye with a smile: "Then we'll leave first."

After Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin were led out of sight by the housekeeper, the prefect trotted into the courtyard, carefully closed the door, and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, have you asked clearly?"

The deposed prince looked sternly and glanced at the prefect: "She saw who I am."

The magistrate's eyes widened slightly: "But you want me..."

Seeing the prefect making a gesture of slitting his neck, the deposed prince waved his hand, with concealed dejection in his eyes: "No need."

Somehow, he believed that Xiao Luoyi would not reveal his identity to the outside world.

Besides, if Xiao Luoyi is killed, can he regain that position? !

He would not hope that by capturing Xiao Luoyi, he would be able to force the newly ascended crown prince to give up his position as Crown Prince.

She was just a woman with a more delicate appearance, but it was only because of her husband-in-law Chen Huaijin that she had some relationship with Yang Chenghou.

Chen Huaijin was born to Mu Yaohua.

Mu Yaohua was the woman that Yang Chenghou once held dear to his heart.

That supreme position, how many blood relatives have turned against each other? !

How useful can this kind of relationship that goes around in circles be? !

"Then let's..." The prefect looked at the deposed prince with hope in his eyes.

"I'm going back to Beijing now."

"Then subordinate..." Are you continuing to wait?

"Just wait for the news." The deposed prince could not directly say that he was giving up. Instead, he left a vague sentence, turned around and left with the help of the secret guards.

As soon as Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin left the magistrate's house, they whispered: "Let's get out of the city as soon as possible and don't go to Meng's house."

Chen Huaijin knew something was wrong, but he didn't feel like asking in detail in the city, so he just nodded: "Okay."

When he passed an intersection, he stopped and gave ten cents to a beggar on the side of the road, asking him to send a message to the Meng Mansion: "It's urgent, let's go first." The carriage turned around and headed out of the city.

After the carriage left the city and walked for a full hour, and after confirming that no one was following, Chen Huaijin asked what happened just now.

Xiao Luoyi had come to his senses at this time and explained the situation in a low voice.

Chen Huaijin: "..."

"Didn't it mean that he had been demoted to a commoner and imprisoned?"

Xiao Luoyi curled his lips: "Probably there was a substitute who was imprisoned and he ran out on his own."

I’ve read a lot of TV novels about this kind of thing, so it’s nothing surprising.

Surrounded by the Royal Guards, he was able to sneak out without disturbing the palace. He was quite capable!

Chen Huaijin felt heavy: "You said he has no hope, are you serious?"

Xiao Luoyi nodded: "Yes. The momentum is gone, and the face is dejected. There is no hope."

Chen Huaijin took a deep breath: "Let's be careful, collect the carriage, and I'll carry you on my back."

"it is good."

The carriage was put into the space again, and Xiao Luoyi obediently lay on Chen Huaijin's back.

After Chen Huaijin ran along the official road for a while, he stood on a huge rock, crossed a river that was frozen into a thick layer of ice, and ran into the dense woods...

Not long after the two disappeared, there were men in black riding several fast horses, galloping down the official road and chasing them.
