Seeing that Third Prince's expression was still as cold as ice, Mu Xueshi kneeled on the ground and cried: "Third Prince, your excellency, I just want to sneak out for a walk. I don't need anything to eat, where can I buy it!" I'm afraid that if I don't have enough to eat, I'll just take some silver from the piggy bank nearby. You don't care about the money … Can't I just return it? I just ate a few more of those Gold Jade Fruits that we didn't sell. If it wasn't enough, I'll go pick some of them back … "Sob, sob …"

The piggy bank that Mu Xueshi talked about was like the bronze statue of the previous emperor that Third Prince used as a sacrificial offering. There was a small hole at the bottom of the bronze statue and it was filled with silver taels. Those were the fruits offered by the officials from the south. A single Golden Jade Vine had to go through thousands of twists and turns before it was able to grow a few strings of fruits. After that, it would take them a long time to get to the imperial capital. The emperor only gave Third Prince a reward. Unexpectedly, before Third Prince had eaten a single grain, Mu Xueshi had already wasted more than half of it.

The dismal expression of Mu Xueshi below his knee didn't move Third Prince at all. Third Prince's cold words didn't contain even the slightest hint of gentleness.

"I can't go anywhere!"

"Why?" Mu Xueshi's crying abruptly stopped. He looked at Third Prince in confusion and said, "Why do you still keep me when I look like this? Could it be placed here to exorcise ghosts? Or do you feel disgusted with yourself? "

Mu Xueshi thought that his appearance was that reflected in a pond. His crystal clear eyes revealed a sense of inferiority. If such expressions and words were spoken in contemporary times, there would definitely be people who would say that he was putting on airs and deliberately being modest. However, in Mu Xueshi's mouth, there was actually a sense of desolation.

The Grand Preceptor was the only one who had seen his true appearance since birth. He had been wearing a fake face for more than a decade, so how could he not feel aggrieved? If he could have cut his face a few times, he would have gained his freedom. Mu Xueshi would not have hesitated, but unfortunately, his appearance had been granted to him by his parents, so it could not be destroyed.

Third Prince obviously didn't have that kind of intention. Mu Xueshi was just a prisoner and would sooner or later die in his hands. But now, he was so crazy and foolish that Third Prince had no choice but to protect him.

Looking at Third Prince's silent face, Mu Xueshi felt extremely impatient in his heart. When living with such a person, one's hearing would drop. He wouldn't even fart when he spoke his words.

The more you don't want me to go out, the more I want to go out! Mu Xueshi protested loudly in his heart.

He had to get familiar with the environment here. If something were to happen in the future, it would be convenient for him to escape. This person is a prince, he can save you when he's in a good mood, and killing you when he's in a bad mood isn't a big deal. Especially in this era where there were both commoners and emperors, his life was worthless like a piece of straw.

At the very least, he had to know who his current identity was, what kind of background he had in the dynasty, and what benefits he could make. In the end, he had to make full use of this condition to help him find silver coins and complete his grand plan of returning home.
