The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy
Chapter 10: The emperor suspected him?
His visit to the Mighty General's Mansion yesterday was kept extremely secret. Apart from Baozhu, only his close confidants knew about it.
He had secretly sent people to deal with the big fuss afterwards, so why did his royal brother also receive the news?
Could it be that without his knowledge, his royal brother had also placed spies around him?
Xie Jin's hand holding the wine glass froze, and a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes.
If it was really as he thought, then his brother was not as gentle and harmless as he seemed. Maybe he had already suspected him a long time ago...
However, as long as he is still his fourth brother, the emperor will not really take action against him.
Thinking of this, Xie Jin stood up unsteadily and walked to Xie Xi's side with staggering steps.
He put one hand on Xie Xi's shoulder and placed the wine glass heavily in front of him with the other hand, and all the wine in the glass spilled onto the table.
Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Baozhu were immediately shocked.
Lu Xiaoxiao stared at the Fourth Prince intently, wanting to see how the Fourth Prince would explain this matter to His Highness!
But when His Highness asked this question, Zhang Baozhu's face turned pale instantly. Her folded hands under the table were trembling slightly, and her handkerchief was about to be torn into pieces by her.
She lowered her head and stared at the edge of the table, not daring to raise her head, for fear that His Highness would notice that something was wrong with her.
But Zhang Baozhu was also nervous about the Fourth Prince's answer.
Under the influence of alcohol, Xie Jin said in a half-truthful tone, "Brother, are you suspecting that I have had a private relationship with General Weiwu?"
"My royal brother knows that I have always loved flowers. Yesterday, I happened to hear that the orchids in the mighty general's mansion were blooming brightly and dazzlingly, so I went in to take a look out of curiosity..."
"Besides, my brother and I are brothers from the same mother. In the palace, besides my father and mother, you and I are the closest to each other. Is there anything that cannot be discussed openly?"
Xie Jin sighed, his tone seemed to contain grievance: "Why would my brother doubt me?"
[Oh, the fourth prince told such a beautiful lie! ]
[The Fourth Prince said he was going to the mansion to see the flowers, but in fact, he wanted to have an unforgettable lovemaking with Zhang Liangyuan. ]
[Your Highness, you must not be moved by the Fourth Prince's words of true love! ]
The Fourth Prince was too good at talking, and Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Even when she looked at Xie Xi, she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.
[Your Highness, you must be on guard against the Fourth Prince! ]
Noticing Lu Fengyi's gaze, Xie Xi lowered his eyes and stared expressionlessly at the two white jade wine glasses placed in front of him.
Even if Lu Fengyi had not reminded him at this time, he would not easily believe his fourth brother's words.
But there is one thing that my fourth brother said that is very true.
He and his fourth brother were brothers from the same mother. Apart from their father and mother, they were the closest to each other. They should have supported each other and protected the country of Li...
But what Xie Xi didn't understand was why Xie Jin, his younger brother, had already been planning to attack him in secret three years ago?
He secretly poisoned him and watched him suffer from the toxin, but refused to hand over the antidote.
She also deliberately placed spies in the Prince's Mansion and even had an affair with his concubine to cuckold him!
For the sake of the throne, could the fourth brother really be so cruel as to eliminate his own brother?
But his position as the crown prince was recognized by both his father and mother, and there were expectations from many ministers behind him. Even if his fourth brother was his biological brother, Xie Xi would never give up!
Xie Xi put the wine glass that Xie Jin had drunk from back into his hands. He suppressed the emotions in his eyes and said in a light tone, "Fourth brother, you think too much."
"Yesterday, I sent Liu Hua back early to do some work. He happened to pass by the General Weiwu's Mansion and saw my fourth brother entering the General Weiwu's Mansion. Then, he told me about this matter."
"Fourth brother, as you said, you and I are the closest brothers. As the elder brother, how could I possibly doubt the fourth brother?"
Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in shock, and she kept wailing in her heart: [No way, no way, did His Highness really believe the Fourth Prince!? ]
[What a headache! What should I do? Should I just confess to His Highness?]
Xie Xi: “…”
Lu Fengyi's howling disturbed his ears.
But now that his fourth brother was still around, Xie Xi couldn't say anything directly to Lu Fengyi. He could only wait until his fourth brother left before he could give Lu Fengyi some advice...
Zhang Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that His Highness has not discovered what is going on between her and the Fourth Prince.
It turned out that another guard of the emperor's brother exposed his whereabouts.
It seems that the emperor's brother should not have placed spies around him.
Xie Jin put aside the doubts in his heart and a smile appeared on his face.
"Come on, brother, let's have another drink for what we talked about today!"
As he spoke, Xie Jin picked up the wine jug, filled both glasses, and raised the glass in his hand to Xie Xi, "Brother, drink!"
Looking at the wine in the glass, Xie Xi's eyes were dark.
He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Only after finishing the wine in the jug did Xie Jin leave the Prince's Mansion with his guards.
Xie Xi stayed in the pavilion for a while longer. He looked up at Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Baozhu and waved his sleeves: "Zhang Liangyuan, you go back first."
Zhang Baozhu was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. When she heard His Highness speak, she stood up hastily and said, "Your Highness, I will leave first."
Xie Xi hummed indifferently.
Zhang Baozhu left quickly.
Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at His Highness secretly and saw that his mood seemed a little off.
[I don't know what your highness wants me to do here? ]
Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say: "Your Highness..."
Before Lu Fengyi could finish, Xie Xi interrupted her and asked, "Does Lu Fengyi have any brothers or sisters?"
"what?"
[Your Highness is so strange, why would you suddenly ask this? ]
Lu Xiaoxiao searched through her original body's memories and answered, "I have a brother and two sisters."
Xie Xi asked again: "How do you four get along?"
"Forehead……"
Lu Xiaoxiao was a little hesitant.
[How can I tell His Highness that my brother and two sisters only bully me as the younger sister. Whenever my brother and sister do something wrong, I will always be the one to take the blame...]
[If my sister had not been severely oppressed and rebelled in anger, Concubine Shu would not have chosen her to be her spy! ]
Although Lu Fengyi didn't say it out loud, Xie Xi had already heard what he wanted to know.
Ordinary families still have secret struggles and plots, and since he is in the royal family, it is even more unavoidable.
Xie Xi originally thought that since he had the position of Crown Prince, he would not have to fight for it anymore. It turned out that if he did not fight for it, his younger brother would try to pull him down...
"Since Lu Fengyi doesn't want to say it, then there's no need to say it."
"Let's go back."
Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”
[Why does Your Highness always stop me from speaking when I want to? ]
[I was thinking of reminding His Highness to be on guard against the Fourth Prince! ]
[Forget it, forget it. I'd better go back and think of a foolproof plan so that His Highness will believe what I say! ]
Lu Xiaoxiao stood up and said, "Your Highness, I will leave first."
Xie Xi nodded.
Just as Lu Xiaoxiao was about to leave the pavilion, she suddenly saw a guard rushing over and kneeling on one knee in front of Xie Xi: "Your Highness, there is a scholar named Meng Huaijun outside the palace who wants to see Your Highness."
"???"
Lu Xiaoxiao stopped immediately and looked at the guard in shock.
