Chapter 173 Did your mother pick it up from the trash can?
Xiao Yao's eyes were red, and his chest was filled with anger that he could not vent.
He looked at the eldest brother across from his mother, and said slowly: "I know that you have always had objections to your mother, and that she did something wrong in some things. But I never thought in my wildest dreams that you could be so cruel.
Attack the queen..."
"The Queen Mother did say that she wanted to... harm you. However, I have already advised her, and I have clearly told her that I am not interested in the position of crown prince, and she also promised me that she will not do this again.
Just thinking." Xiao Yao looked at the prince and said, "You killed your mother because of things that didn't happen?"
"Did she really agree?" Xiao Jue stared into Xiao Yao's eyes and said coolly, "Do you think I don't know about the little tricks she did behind her back?"
"Xiao Yao, let me tell you, I will not sit still and wait for death. If I don't want to let go of the things I hold in my hands, no one can take them away from me. You can't, and neither can my mother."
"Also, you can eat randomly but not talk nonsense. My mother's death has nothing to do with me at all. I didn't do anything."
After Xiao Jue finished speaking, he turned around and sat down on the table, picked up the tea cup and drank tea silently.
Xiao Yao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the death of the queen has nothing to do with you. Then have you ever thought that Xiao Yan, as Lou Shulan's son, would let it go?"
Xiao Jue smiled, looked up at Xiao Yao, and said coolly: "So what if he doesn't give up? Xiao Yao, let me tell you the truth, the third child owes me his life. No matter what happens, he will never give up."
You can't betray me."
After hearing this, Xiao Yao suddenly felt cold from head to toe.
The meaning of Xiao Jue's words was to tell him that Xiao Yan would not cause trouble for him because Xiao Yan owed him his life. Therefore, Xiao Yan held a grudge in his heart and would only cause trouble for himself.
Xiao Yao rubbed his eyebrows, and his eyes gradually turned cold when he looked at Xiao Jue.
In his heart, he had no expectations for this eldest brother from the same mother. It was obvious that the other party did not regard him as a brother.
However, Xiao Yao still refused to give up. He looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "Brother, will you do anything to me?"
Xiao Jue's eyes flashed for a moment before he said calmly: "You are obedient, why should I attack you?"
Xiao Yao felt cold in his heart.
Be obedient...how obedient do you need to be?
Xiao Yao didn't say another word, turned around and walked out.
After exiting the gate of the East Palace, Xiao Yao let out a long breath.
The personal eunuch guarding the door came forward and whispered: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, Master Shangshu sent someone to send a message, saying that he wants to see you."
"Uncle?" Xiao Yao was silent for a long time and then said softly, "Go."
His uncle had wanted to see him several times before, but he was afraid that Xiao Jue would think too much, so he kept avoiding him.
But after meeting Xiao Jue just now, Xiao Yao changed his mind.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered what his mother had told him before she died, telling him not to be soft-hearted towards Xiao Jue, saying that Xiao Jue was just an immature white-eyed wolf... He had not taken these words into his heart before, but now he did
I have to believe it.
If he listened to Xiao Jue and kept doing nothing, then he might not even know how he died in the future.
After coming out of the East Palace, Xiao Yao went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War and met Liu Changsong.
This matter was not kept secret, and it soon reached the ears of the prince. That night, the prince lost his temper in the East Palace and smashed the study to pieces.
There was a turmoil between Prince Xiao Jue and the Fourth Prince, and the fight between the two gradually turned from dark to bright. As the competition between them surfaced, the situation in the court also began to change. Some quick-thinking people,
Already starting to take sides.
In the past, the prince's family was the only one. Now, the four princes have gradually become able to compete with them.
Xiao Jue became more and more gloomy day by day. He was busy fighting with Xiao Yao all day long and rarely bothered Qin Zhen.
In this regard, Qin Zhen is happy to see the success.
After all, Qin Zhen was physically disgusted when she saw Xiao Jue's face. Seeing him once, Qin Zhen could have nightmares for several nights.
The two princes were fighting fiercely in the court hall, and Qin Zhen looked more and more chic.
She had no friends in the capital, and the only girl she could talk to was Hongxue, who was in a brothel.
But recently, Qin Zhen found new fun.
She began to run to the harem all day long, looking for Xiao Yu.
As a princess, Xiao Yu doesn't have to avoid suspicion. Coupled with Qin Yi's relationship, even if Xiao Yu hates her, he still has to entertain her with a smile.
On this day, she plunged into Xiao Yu's yard again, and asked Xiao Yu's people to serve her berry snacks.
The things in this palace are more exquisite than those outside, and Qin Zhen likes them very much.
Xiao Yu had just come back from outside. When he looked up, he saw an uninvited guest in the yard, and his already unsightly face stretched even longer.
"Why are you here again?" Xiao Yu said angrily, "The Qin family is so big that it can't accommodate you? This palace allows you to come and go, why do you insist on crawling into my small courtyard?"
Qin Zhen glanced at her lazily and said leisurely: "Although the Qin family is big, I am lonely by myself. I can come and go in the palace as I please, but I just like to come and talk to you. I love you so much, but you actually
Dislike me?"
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes wide.
This man is full of lies and can't believe a word he says.
Love her?
Come on, they want to comb each other's hair as soon as they meet.
There is only resentment and no love.
Qin Zhen rolled her eyes when she saw her and sat there sulking alone without saying a word. She suddenly felt something was wrong.
If it were normal, Xiao Yu would definitely quarrel with him, and he might even get into a fight with her in the end.
But now the man suddenly became quiet.
Qin Zhen dropped the snack in her hand and took a closer look at Xiao Yu. Then she saw that Xiao Yu's eyes were a little red, and he looked like he had just cried.
Qin Zhen's face instantly darkened.
She stood up and sat next to Xiao Yu and asked her: "What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Yu turned away and said in a stiff tone: "It's okay! Don't get so close to me, don't you bother me."
Qin Zhen didn't care whether she was annoyed or not, he reached out and held her face, stared into her eyes, and asked: "Who made you cry?"
Xiao Yu pushed her away without saying a word.
Qin Zhen frowned, and without asking Xiao Yu, turned to look at Xiao Yu's personal maid, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what happened?"
The palace maid glanced at Xiao Yu and saw that the princess had no objection before speaking: "Just now, the princess went to see Concubine Yan, and Concubine Yan mentioned the princess's marriage again..."
Concubine Yan is Xiao Yu’s biological mother.
Qin Zhen's eyes suddenly turned cold and she asked, "Are you still the gambler whose first wife died?"
The palace maid's face didn't look very good either, and she nodded lightly.
Qin Zhen took a deep breath, but couldn't hold it back anymore, and asked Xiao Yu: "Did your mother and concubine pick you up from the trash heap?"
Where can any biological mother treat her child like this?
