Quick Transmigration: The Foolish Beauty Saves the World

Chapter 131 The Useless Prince's Power Seizure (9)

Hearing the bird speak, Jingli was extremely proud (she was genuinely proud, not acting), and Xiaocheng felt humiliated when she saw Jingli's expression.

He picked up the little rabbit, grabbed the half-eaten pastry beside him, and threw it hard at the bird.

But how much strength can a child have? The pastry landed lightly two steps away from Xiao Cheng'er, making him so angry that he couldn't even speak.

"Your little bird is unwanted by Father! My little rabbit is one that Father himself said he liked! You're just like your little bird—"

Before Xiao Cheng'er could finish speaking, the eunuch standing behind him stepped forward to protect him.

"Sixth Prince, it's time to go back."

Xiao Cheng'er cried so hard that her face turned red and she started to ramble.

If this were in the palace of the Eighth Lady, he could say whatever he wanted.

But this is the palace of Lady Langyue and Jingli. Don't be fooled by the silence of the palace servants behind them. If the Sixth Prince utters these words today, they will reach the Emperor's ears tomorrow in an even stronger way.

Even if the young eunuch didn't step forward, Jingli would stop him from continuing.

The sixth prince is still young, and the world is excessively polluted, so Jingli wouldn't hold a grudge against the other party for the child's momentary impulsive words.

Amidst loud cries, Xiao Cheng'er and her entourage left Jingli's palace.

[Keiri: I'm sorry, little bunny. As a bunny, it's still very cute.]

[Keiri: But it can't compare to Mommy~]

The little bird spread its wings and showed off its beautiful feathers.

【6058: That's~】

[6058: Sigh, is this the fun of bullying kids? Tomorrow your reputation for arrogance and domineering will be even more widespread.]

Jingli smiled gently.

[Jingli: It can be heard even louder.]

6058 widened her small eyes, and seeing that Jingli had no intention of continuing, she smiled silently.

The kids are all grown up now, and they've learned to keep things a secret.

That night, Jingli used the same trick again, using a talisman to put all the palace servants into a deep sleep before changing into a low-grade invisibility cloak.

The invisibility cloak was found by 6058 from the prop pile. It's considered low-level because its invisibility only utilizes optical principles to achieve visual invisibility. Once a detector is used, the cloak becomes meaningless.

But it was perfectly adequate in ancient times.

Not only that, 6058 has also made some modifications to the portable space. The portable space now has a small bathroom and is stocked with some snacks.

Given the limitation that his personal space could only be opened once a day, Jingli moved his study time to the evening. This way, after returning from the slave camp, he could take a comfortable shower, review his lessons, and then go to sleep.

Having learned from her previous experience visiting the slave settlement, Jingli transformed her energy into a cloak beforehand to avoid being affected by the pollution and going berserk.

With everything prepared, Jingli used a speed-traveling talisman and hurriedly headed towards the slave camp.

He arrived at the cave entrance but did not go in. Instead, following Yu An's instructions, he found a loose stone slab hidden beside the cave. He moved the slab aside, and a small hole appeared before him.

Jingli placed the wrapped food and a folded piece of paper inside. Jingli had modified the paper with her own energy, and it would burn up on its own once Yu An finished reading it. The paper contained the time Jingli wanted to meet Yu An the next day.

After putting the things away, Jingli took out a bamboo whistle and, as Yu An had instructed, blew it three times.

Jingli made this bamboo whistle himself; he wasn't comfortable entrusting it to someone else.

The bamboo whistle makes a crisp sound, like a bird's chirp, but it only makes three short sounds and is hard to notice.

Jingli squatted beside the small hole, quietly waiting for any movement inside.

As spring transitions into summer, insects abound. Dark shadows ripple outwards in circles amidst the chirping of insects, seemingly calm, yet beneath lies an unfathomable abyss.

Jingli started idly plucking grass from the ground, one, two, three... until he pulled up the ninety-third blade. His hands were getting a little sore, but there was still no movement from inside the cave.

Jingli touched the bamboo whistle hanging around her neck, wondering if she should blow it again, but she was afraid that blowing it twice would give someone else the same signal and attract others' attention.

Jingli patted her face, recalling her lessons from the day, and continued to wait.

After an unknown amount of time, Jingli finally heard the sound of stone slabs moving inside the cave.

"Xiao An?" He brought his face close to the cave entrance and whispered in that direction.

The person on the other end didn't make a sound, but Jingli could hear breathing.

Very light, very tender, that's Yu An.

Having confirmed the other party's identity, Jingli snorted and resumed her "arrogant" persona:

"You've kept me waiting!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were waiting."

Yu An's voice came from the small hole. Jing Li heard him take the things out, and then he heard the sound of him moving the stone slab again.

Jingli quickly removed her invisibility cloak, collected the card, and stored it back in the system.

Just as they finished doing all that, a rustling sound came from the hole next to them where people were crawling.

Yu An was smaller and more skilled at crawling through holes than Jing Li. He quickly appeared in front of Jing Li and frowned slightly upon seeing Jing Li's current appearance.

Jingli felt hot, so under the invisible cloak was her undergarment, which was now loose and looked extremely undignified.

Sensing Yu An's expression, Jing Li said with a mixture of embarrassment and anger, "What's so interesting! I... I just managed to get out in time."

Yu An had excellent eyesight and immediately noticed the awkwardness in Jing Li's expression.

He pondered for a moment, then a smirk appeared on his lips: "I wonder why someone as lowly as me, who comes from the ranks of slaves, would make a noblewoman of such high birth so eager?"

Jingli tilted her head back, making no mention of their previous exchange of terms of friendship, and arrogantly asked, "Did you see that piece of paper?"

Yu An shook his head: "It's too dark. The servants are not qualified to use fire."

"Then I will tell you myself: tomorrow at 1-3 PM, find a place and wait for me to come find you."

Yu An frowned: "You're speaking too late. I have other things to do tomorrow."

"What could be more important than my business!" Jingli displayed that arrogant attitude to the fullest. "You made me wait for so long today, so keep our appointment tomorrow as an apology."

Yu An lowered his head and remained silent.

The little nobleman last time was honest and cute, but today's little nobleman is arrogant and conceited. Yu An is not sure whether this person can be controlled by him in the future.

Seeing that Yu An remained silent, Jing Li's anger intensified.

"Speak up! Are you mute?"

He paced back and forth angrily, and before Yu An could answer, he pointed at the other man's nose and said, "I'm asking you, do you want to get out of here?"

Yu An was slightly taken aback, but suppressed the urge to look up and kept her head down.

At this moment, Jingli really resembled a grumpy and foolish little prince, frustrated and helpless because his throws of chips failed to make a splash.

"If you want to go out, find a place to stay tomorrow! I'll come find you then!"

After a long while, Yu An answered softly, "Okay."

Jingli breathed a sigh of relief, but still pretended to be dissatisfied, urging, "You decide on the location."

Yu An thought for a moment and said cautiously, "I will try to find a job at the laundry department tomorrow. You can look for me at the well next to it."

"The laundry department..." Jingli rested her chin on her hand, making a disgusted expression, "I know, that's what I wanted to talk about."

Finally, he glanced at Yu An secretly and coughed twice: "What I gave you today was a roast duck sent from the kitchen, but it's too fatty for me, so I'll give it to you."

Yu An replied calmly, "Thank you."

"What's the big deal? We're friends."

Yu An fell silent again.

Jingli didn't expect him to trust her so easily. After all, she had acted too much like a playboy this time, so it was normal for Yu An to have doubts.

But if Jingli wants to keep Yu An by her side, she must first maintain a certain "persona" in front of him until they are completely bound together.

This kind of bond is different from before; feelings and ties alone are not strong enough, and something else must be added.

That thing must be related to the grudges between the previous dynasty and the current dynasty.

Before Jingli has any trump cards, he needs to maintain the image the emperor expects him to become.

Including in front of Yu An.
