Chapter 210 She's not helping you, but the third child!
Hongxue's unconscious words made Xiao Yao's face instantly darken.
But Hongxue didn't know that Qin Zhen had broken off her friendship with Xiao Yao. The last time they met, they broke up on bad terms. Qin Zhen didn't even taste a glass of wine.
Hongxue raised her hand to pour a glass of wine for Xiao Yao, and said softly: "The last time His Highness and the princess drank together at my place, it seems to have been a long time ago...The last time the princess came..."
When Hongxue thought of this, she felt depressed and couldn't continue talking.
She has lived to this age, and after all calculations, Qin Zhen is the only person who is truly good to her.
Even Xiao Yao... only used her more.
But she actually made Qin Zhen, who was really good to her, angry and ran away because of someone who was taking advantage of her.
Every time she thought of this, Hongxue felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Xiao Yao lowered his head, raised his head and drank the wine in the quilt.
After drinking several drinks in a row, Xiao Yao took a deep breath and finally said: "I always thought we were friends before. But I realized today that I never seemed to understand her."
Hongxue frowned: "You mean the princess?"
Xiao Yao hummed and said in a complicated tone: "It seems that she is not so annoying to people who I always thought she hated before..."
"The princess lives alone in the capital and doesn't have many friends." Hongxue said, "No matter how much she hates anyone, she doesn't hate anyone that much. How did you, Your Highness, tell that she hates that person?"
Xiao Yao didn't speak, his mind was filled with the image of Qin Zhen walking out of the tea shop today.
Hongxue blinked and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I think the relationship between the Princess and the Third Highness is quite good."
Xiao Yao suddenly looked up at Hongxue: "What did you say?"
"Have you forgotten, Your Highness?" Hongxue blinked, looked at him, and said, "Once the princess was drinking at my place, and the Third Highness rushed up to her in a menacing manner and took her away."
Thinking of this, Hongxue's eyes couldn't help but smile: "It's rare for a person like the princess to be willing to follow him obediently."
Xiao Yao: "..."
Xiao Yao remembered.
At that time, the third child threatened him that if he took Qin Zhen to drink again, he would break his legs.
Xiao Yao then remembered that when he went to look for a miracle doctor for his third son to replace his mother, he had met Qin Zhen at the Third Prince's Mansion.
At that time, Qin Zhen could freely enter and exit the third prince's residence, and showed that she was very familiar with the third prince.
At that time, he felt that something was wrong, but at that time he was preoccupied with his mother's condition and put the matter behind him.
Looking back now, everything about this matter is unusual.
Princess Anshun, who had always been alone, unexpectedly came together with the private prince who was isolated in the entire capital.
If... if Qin Zhen and Lao San have a close relationship, then everything will make sense.
Qin Zhen is not helping the prince, she is helping the third son.
Xiao Yao stood up quickly and walked out with a cold face.
He never expected that Qin Zhen would get involved with Lao San.
Qin Zhen...she is not just a favored princess. Her eldest brother is the Prince Consort and the Young Minister of Dali Temple. Her father is the commander of the Imperial Army, with 8,000 Imperial Guards in his hands, holding the lifeline of the palace.
As for the third child, when he came back from southern Xinjiang, he was the third prince with outstanding military exploits, with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands.
If the third child has different intentions and he and Qin Zhen are in harmony with each other, what will happen between him and the prince?
If it were anyone else, that would be fine. Xiao Yao doesn't necessarily have to be the emperor. But Lao San definitely can't do it.
He will never forget that his mother was lying in bed and was tortured by illness, and he was not human. He could not forget that he could not even see his mother for the last time, which made her die with hatred.
He wants the third child to pay with his blood!
Xiao Yao walked in a hurry. Hongxue called after him several times but did not stop.
It wasn't until the door was closed again that Hongxue smiled bitterly and murmured: "What am I still expecting..."
She sat down again, took the wine glass Xiao Yao had used, and used this glass to drink up the wine in the jug one after another.
——
Xiao Yao left Wanyan Tower and walked towards the East Palace.
He had to tell the prince to stop raising tigers and causing trouble. If the third child was allowed to continue, neither of the two brothers would end well.
But when he hurried to the East Palace, he was told that the prince was entertaining guests and had no time to see him.
Xiao Yao said with a cold face: "It doesn't matter, I can wait."
This wait lasted almost half an hour.
He finally lost his patience and stood up to go find Xiao Jue on his own. The person guarding the door was anxious and had to tell the truth: "The princess of Anshun is here. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is receiving the princess. Please wait for a moment."
When Xiao Yao heard this, his pupils shrank.
Qin Zhen...why did she come to the East Palace suddenly?
Until the person next to him whispered: "The princess often comes to the East Palace to see the little emperor grandson. Your Highness may not know that the little emperor grandson's biological mother was once the princess's personal maid, and she has some affection for her."
Only then did Xiao Yao realize that he had said the words unknowingly.
"Look at the little emperor...is there really such a coincidence?"
Xiao Yao couldn't sit still anymore and walked towards where Xiao Jue and the others were.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the yard, I heard talking and laughing, accompanied by the babbling sounds of children.
Xiao Yao entered the door and saw the prince holding the little emperor's grandson in his arms. Qin Zhen was standing beside him, leaning her head to talk to the child in his arms.
This scene looks like a happy family of three. On the contrary, Yan Yu, the little emperor's grandson's mother-in-law, is standing next to them like a maid.
Hearing the footsteps, Xiao Jue looked up at him, looking a little impatient: "Didn't I ask you to wait?"
Qin Zhen also glanced at him and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's been a long time."
Xiao Yao walked closer, glanced at the child in Xiao Jue's arms, and said, "The little emperor's grandson looks much better."
Xiao Jue hummed and said, "I've been taking medicine, and I'm getting better."
Xiao Yao pursed his lips and said to Xiao Jue: "Brother, I have something to tell you."
Xiao Jue frowned: "Didn't I tell you, I..."
"It's a very important matter!" Xiao Yao said solemnly, "I must tell you right away, it is of great importance."
Xiao Jue subconsciously looked at Qin Zhen beside him.
Qin Zhen smiled and said, "Since His Highness the Crown Prince has something to do, I won't bother you."
She stood up and left. When she passed Xiao Yao, she glanced at Xiao Yao with a half-smile.
Xiao Yao felt chilled when she saw him. For some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
As soon as Qin Zhen left, Xiao Jue threw the child in his arms directly to Yan Yu, no longer looking like a loving father.
He walked in front and said coldly: "Follow me."
Xiao Yao followed him into the study and said impatiently: "Brother, Qin Zhen..."
"Are you trying to tell me that Qin Zhen is not helping me at all, she is helping the third child?" Xiao Jue directly cut off Xiao Yao's words and said coolly.
