As soon as Xiao Yao came out of the Third Prince's Mansion, he bumped into someone from the East Palace.
Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows and asked one more question: "Come to see Third Brother?"
But the man shook his head and said: "I have been ordered by the Crown Prince to invite His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
Xiao Yao frowned.
He didn't look for him early or late, but he came to him just when he had just met the third brother. This made it difficult for people not to wonder whether the prince had placed people around him.
But Xiao Jue is his eldest brother from the same father and mother, and Xiao Yao's tolerance for him is still higher than ordinary people.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Let's go."
He followed the others into the East Palace and saw Xiao Jue. Xiao Yao asked, "Brother, are you looking for me?"
Xiao Jue didn't respond and looked straight at Xiao Yao with a heavy look in his eyes.
As Xiao Jue became silent, Xiao Yao's heart sank.
After a long time, Xiao Jue finally responded, his voice a little cold: "Should you just like everyone else and call me His Royal Highness?"
Xiao Yao was stunned, and after a while he said: "I thought... forget it, I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Jue seemed to be satisfied, and his eyes were not as aggressive as before.
He asked Xiao Yao: "Going to see your third brother?"
Xiao Yao nodded: "I have something to ask Third Brother for help."
"How can he help you?" Xiao Jue squinted his eyes and said coolly: "He is from the common people and has no foundation. He is nothing in the name of a prince."
Xiao Yao frowned: "He is my father's son after all, and he is your brother and mine."
Xiao Jue narrowed his eyes: "Are you very close to him?"
Xiao Yao: "..."
He frowned and looked at the prince, always feeling that there was something in the prince's words.
As expected, after Xiao Jue looked at him for a while, he suddenly said: "You are very proud after Qiu Lie came back."
Xiao Yao realized something and looked at his elder brother in shock.
Xiao Jue's eyes were a little cold, and he said slowly: "In the past, my father, emperor and mother pampered you and indulged you, and I never said anything. But you already have so much, why don't you know how to be satisfied? Even my things
Do you want to rob it too?”
Xiao Yao: "No, I..."
"Don't think I don't know how much my mother has done for you behind the scenes." Xiao Jue interrupted Xiao Yao and said coldly.
"I haven't cared about it all this time because I still care about the brotherhood between you and me, and I also believe that you won't do things too well. But I didn't expect that you would now set your mind on the third child? Do you think he
How can I help you?"
"The second child is in poor health. He has been living in seclusion for many years without paying attention to the affairs of the court. There is only the third child. Do you want to win him over? Have I told you that the third child is mine and he will never betray me. Don't waste your time.
It’s scheming.”
Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Jue for a long time before asking: "Are you done?"
Xiao Jue stared at him without saying a word.
Xiao Yao took a deep breath and almost gritted his teeth and said: "I don't know what my mother has done for me secretly, whether you believe it or not. Also, I went to see Third Brother not to win over him because of what you thought.
I've never thought of it that way."
"I went to see Third Brother just to find out the whereabouts of Dr. Murong."
Xiao Jue didn't believe what he said: "Just to inquire about a doctor?"
"What else?" Xiao Yao suddenly raised his voice and said sternly: "Do you know that the queen's illness is getting more and more serious? Have you ever visited her since the return from Qiu Xie? As a son of a human being, the queen's mother is sick.
You can't even get out of bed, are you still here full of scheming and only thinking about your position as prince?"
Xiao Jue suddenly stood up, walked in front of Xiao Yao in a few steps, picked up Xiao Yao's collar, and said through gritted teeth: "Don't you have the only son she has?"
Xiao Yao: "...What do you mean?"
Xiao Jue closed his eyes, threw Xiao Yao away, and said coldly: "You are a filial son, and I will leave everything to you as my mother."
Xiao Yao frowned tightly, as if he didn't recognize Xiao Jue, and stared at him up and down.
But in Xiao Jue's mind, there were only those words he heard during the autumn hunting.
His mother wanted to depose him as prince and replace him with his younger brother Xiao Yao.
Xiao Jue turned away from Xiao Yao and said in a cold voice: "For the sake of our brothers, I would like to advise you, don't reach out for things that are not yours. Go back and take good care of your mother."
Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Jue for a long time, then turned and walked out.
As soon as he turned around, he almost bumped into someone. Xiao Yao was so frightened that he immediately took a step back and stared at the person who suddenly appeared.
It's Yan language.
She had a big belly and a tea tray in her hand. She took a step back in panic and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry."
Xiao Yao squinted his eyes, looked at her protruding belly for a moment, and finally turned to look at Xiao Jue.
"If I remember correctly, this girl used to be someone close to Princess Anshun?"
As soon as Xiao Yao said these words, Yan Yu's expression changed.
Xiao Jue's face was even uglier than before.
Xiao Yao seemed not to have seen it, and continued: "If I remember correctly, His Royal Highness, the Prince, was very fond of Princess Anshun, and he proposed to marry her in person at the flower viewing party, right?"
That was the first time Xiao Yao met Qin Zhen.
He was lying on the rockery and saw Qin Zhen and the prince Xiao Jue pulling each other.
After that, Xiao Jue not only failed to find a beautiful woman, but instead went astray and married Yun Ruying.
If he hadn't seen this girl today, Xiao Yao might have forgotten what happened.
Xiao Jue stared at Xiao Yao with a bad expression: "I don't care about your business."
Xiao Yao was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Although I don't know why you brought this girl around, let alone what happened to this child... But based on my understanding of the princess, if she knows about this, you
I’m afraid it won’t be possible anymore.”
After saying this, Xiao Yao didn't look at Xiao Jue again and left quickly.
In the room, Yan Yu's hand holding the tea tray was trembling slightly.
She took two steps forward and said tentatively: "Your Highness, I..."
"Who asked you to come out?" Xiao Jue grabbed Yan Yu's hair and pulled him in front of him, gritting his teeth and asking.
Yan Yu endured the pain of tearing her scalp and said tremblingly: "I, I just want to give you a cup of tea."
Xiao Jue raised his hand and knocked over the tea tray in her hand, then threw her hand away.
Yan Yu swayed a few times, holding her belly with one hand and holding the table in panic with the other, with a look of horror on her face.
Xiao Jue pointed at Yan Yu and gritted his teeth and said, "If Zhen Zhen knows about this, I will skin you."
Yan Yu: "...Yes, I know this."
Xiao Jue said coldly: "Before the child is born, you are not allowed to go out even half a step, go back!"
Yan Yu gritted her teeth, not daring to refute even a single word, and turned around and walked out of the room.
Ever since Qiu Lie came back, Xiao Jue's temper had become extremely violent, and Yan Yu began to be afraid from the bottom of her heart.
Xiao Jue stared at Yan Yu's back, already thinking about what to do with Yan Yu when she gave birth to the child before she kept this secret so that Qin Zhen would never know about it.
