Liu Changsong entered Dali Temple and could not get out easily.
Xiao Yao went there several times, but was blocked by people from Dali Temple every time, and was stunned without even saying a word.
From this, Xiao Yao also saw that this incident had angered the emperor, and it was impossible for the emperor to give up so easily.
First, the war in southern Xinjiang stepped on the emperor's bottom line, and second, the third prince was put in danger.
Xiao Yao realized that the emperor's concern for Xiao Yan might be beyond everyone's expectations.
He thought of the emperor's love for Concubine Shu, and gradually understood in his heart that he could no longer treat the third prince as a helpless civilian prince.
What's more, Xiao Yan is no longer the helpless civilian prince.
He is favored by the emperor, has military success, and holds millions of soldiers. Unknowingly, he has completely transformed. If anyone dares to despise him like before, they will pay the price in blood.
Xiao Yao came out of Dali Temple and met Xiao Jue on the street.
The two brothers looked at each other across the crowd for a moment, and Xiao Yao was the first to say hello: "Brother, what a coincidence."
Xiao Jue is now very proud of himself. When facing Xiao Yao, he rarely gave a good look: "It's quite a coincidence."
"Why did you just come out of Dali Temple?" Xiao Jue looked him up and down and said, "You really value love and righteousness. At this time, you still don't forget to visit him."
Xiao Yao: "He is my uncle after all."
Xiao Jue sneered.
It's not like he didn't regard Liu Changsong as his uncle, but how did Liu Changsong treat him?
Xiao Yao walked slowly to Xiao Jue and said softly: "Brother, do you think you won?"
Xiao Jue sneered: "What if? Is it you who wins?"
Xiao Yao smiled and said: "I am not a winner, but neither are you."
Xiao Jue's face turned cold: "What do you mean?"
"I don't know if you have ever thought about this matter. We fought to the death, and who got the advantage in the end?" Xiao Yao said with a half-smile, "You beat me, but you didn't get the real benefit."
What are the benefits?”
Xiao Jue's eyes darkened and he looked at Xiao Yao intently.
"Brother," Xiao Yao sighed and said slowly, "Are you sure you can control Xiao Yan?"
When Xiao Jue heard this, he sneered and said, "He is just a dog I raised."
Xiao Yao: "There are many dogs that bite their owners."
"Xiao Yan now holds military power and has been granted the title of king. He is the highest-ranking prince besides you. Brother, think about it, once he has different intentions, how will you control him."
After that, he turned around and left without looking at Xiao Jue's face.
Xiao Jue stood there with a gloomy expression on his face.
When he thought of Lou Yan's expressionless face, he felt a little uncomfortable. Now after hearing Xiao Yao's words, this discomfort was magnified again.
Lou Yan was like a thorn in his heart. If he didn't pull it out, it would hurt from time to time. If he did, he would be afraid of bleeding and hurting himself.
Xiao Jue took a deep breath and turned into the alley next to him.
Qin Zhen is still waiting for him in the tea shop.
Not long after he left, Xiao Yao left and returned, quietly following Xiao Jue into the alley.
He entered the tea shop, chose a remote corner, and stared in the direction of the door without blinking.
He wanted to see who Xiao Jue met and whether this person was giving advice to Xiao Jue.
Xiao Yao drank a cup of tea for a long time. Just as he was refilling his third cup of tea, Xiao Jue's figure appeared at the door again.
He walked out of the box at the back and left directly.
Xiao Yao stared at the door steadily. After a while, he saw the previous box open and a familiar figure walked out.
As soon as Xiao Yao saw this person, he felt his eyes stung and couldn't help but close his eyes.
But when he opened his eyes again, the figure walking to the door was still the same, indicating that he had not seen it wrong before.
Qin Zhen...it's actually Qin Zhen.
How could it be Qin Zhen? How could it be Qin Zhen?
Didn’t she keep saying that she wanted to cut off all contact with the prince? Didn’t she declare repeatedly that she had nothing to do with the prince?
Also, why does she want to help Xiao Jue?
Xiao Yao's expression changed unpredictably. After Qin Zhen left, Xiao Yao sat for a long time before getting up and leaving.
He was walking on the street, even in a daze, and finally came to Wanyan Tower without knowing it.
He looked up at the signboard of Wanyan Building, hesitated for a long time, and finally walked in.
The old bustard stood at the door to greet the guests. When he saw it was him, his eyes flashed slightly and he went to greet him: "Sir, please come inside."
Xiao Yao had no expression on his face and asked: "Where is Hongxue?"
"Miss Hongxue is off today and has no guests." The old bustard said obediently, "This is a coincidence, Your Highness."
"Do you want me to inform Miss Hongxue and let her get ready?"
Xiao Yao: "No need, I'll go up by myself."
He left the madam where he was and went upstairs to open Hongxue's door.
As soon as the door opened, Hongxue's voice came from inside: "Get out! I said I won't entertain guests today, and no one can come."
There was a hint of coldness in this voice, which was very different from Hongxue's before.
In the past, Hongxue spoke softly and softly, with a sense of warmth.
Xiao Yao took a deep breath and said, "It's me."
It was quiet for a while, then footsteps sounded, and Hongxue walked out from behind the screen.
She is not dressed as casually as before. Secondly, she is wearing a strapless dress and heavy makeup on her face. Her beautiful face does not show any trace of her former innocence.
Hongxue stopped two meters away from him and said softly: "Why are you here, Your Highness? This place is dirty. Your Highness should not come here again."
Xiao Yao frowned: "Don't talk like that."
Hongxue's expression was very pale: "I'm just telling the truth. The number of men I've slept with in this room ranges from 100 to 80. With such a noble status as His Highness, you shouldn't step through this door."
"Hongxue!" Xiao Yao was a little angry, "I never think you are dirty, don't talk like that."
Hongxue raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, then said coolly: "But I feel dirty."
Xiao Yao: "..."
He raised his hand to pinch the center of his eyebrows, and said in a darker tone, "Hongxue, I'm very tired, please stop making trouble, okay?"
Hongxue: "..."
After all, she couldn't bear it.
She always couldn't bear to deal with Xiao Yao.
She gave herself a big slap in her heart, then lowered her eyes and took a step back: "If Your Highness doesn't mind, please come in and sit down."
Xiao Yao walked inside and sat down beside the bed where he often sat before.
Hongxue stood not far away and asked, "Would you like to prepare a table of food and wine for His Highness?"
Xiao Yao: "...Hmm."
Hongxue went out and gave orders. After a while, the food and wine were put on the table.
Xiao Yao stared at the food and wine in front of him, a little lost in thought.
Hongxue also had a bit of nostalgia in her eyes, and she couldn't help but said: "It would be great if the princess was here..."
