The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

After sending Lu Xiaoxiao back to the Prince's Mansion, Xie Xi did not stay in the mansion, but entered the palace with guard Mu Qing.

At this time, the Emperor of Li was discussing matters with several ministers in the imperial study.

When the guards came in to report that the Crown Prince had arrived, the Emperor of Li frowned slightly and asked, "Did the Crown Prince say anything?"

The guard kneeling on the ground bowed his head and replied, "In reply to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there are some important matters that he wants to discuss with Your Majesty alone."

The Emperor of Li was stunned.

The Emperor of Li couldn't help but wonder in his heart what Xier wanted to discuss with him again.

However, he was currently discussing the affairs of the Jiangnan officialdom with several ministers. Those vacant positions had to be filled as soon as possible. Otherwise, chaos would easily break out in Jiangnan.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Luo, who was in the lead, spoke first: "Your Majesty, how about we withdraw first? After Your Majesty has finished talking with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will come back to discuss this matter."

As soon as these words were spoken, other ministers present spoke up to second the motion.

The Emperor of Li nodded slightly: "Okay, then you guys go out and wait first."

"I will take my leave first."

Prime Minister Luo turned and left with several ministers.

When he walked outside the imperial study, he saw His Royal Highness, Prime Minister Luo, and several ministers bowing to His Royal Highness. Prime Minister Luo smiled and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor is waiting inside for you to come in."

"Thank you, Luo Xiang."

After that, Xie Xi said nothing more and walked into the imperial study.

He knew that as the crown prince, he could not have too much contact with important officials in the court, so as not to arouse suspicion. Even if his father did not care about the matter, those who had bad intentions would take advantage of it.

"Xi'er has been going to the palace quite frequently recently."

Seeing Xie Xi, the Emperor of Li Kingdom had a gentle expression and said with a chuckle, "Sit down."

Xie Xi sat down and sighed softly: "Father, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Seeing this, the Emperor of Li frowned and said in a worried tone: "Xi'er, have you encountered any difficulties? Talk to your father and see if your father can make a decision for you."

After all, Xie Xi is the prince he values ​​most, and the future of the Kingdom of Li will be handed over to Xie Xi. The Emperor of Li will pay more attention to anything involving Xie Xi.

Xie Xi shook his head, his face showing bitterness: "Father, there is something I have to tell you, but I am afraid you will not believe it."

This aroused the curiosity of the Emperor of Li. He thought about it and couldn't help but guess: "Did that little girl surnamed Lu bother you? Or has her injury not healed yet?"

The Emperor of Li was still quite curious about why he could hear the voice of the little girl named Lu. However, the little girl was injured and had been recuperating in the Prince's Mansion, so he couldn't let the Prince bring her into the palace.

"neither."

Having said that, Xie Xi stood up and knelt down in front of the Emperor of Li without saying a word.

"Xi'er, what are you going to do?"

The Emperor of Li was a little overwhelmed by his action. He looked at him in a daze, not knowing what he wanted to say.

Xie Xi lowered his head, and slowly clenched his hands at his sides into fists. After a moment of silence, he spoke: "Father, in fact, the cold poison in my body was given by my fourth brother."

"What!?"

The Emperor of Li was shocked and could not believe that what Xier said was true.

But the Emperor of Li knew clearly in his heart that if Xier was not 100% sure, he would not have said this.

The Emperor of Li raised his hand to his forehead, took a deep breath, and then said, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

The Emperor of Li actually didn't have much impression of the Fourth Prince. Although the Fourth Prince was also the Queen's son and his legitimate son, for some reason, he just didn't like to get close to his Fourth Prince.

However, as an emperor, the Emperor of Li did not show his emotions and just acted normally.

Xie Xi raised his eyes and glanced at his father. Seeing that his father's eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking, Xie Xi continued: "Three years ago, the cup of tea that this son drank was actually sent in by my fourth brother."

"I have already found out that the eunuch was actually a chess piece carefully planned by my fourth brother."

Come to think of it, that chess piece was buried really deep.

If the people he sent had not investigated thoroughly, he would probably not have discovered that the eunuch who had originally worked in the Eastern Palace was no longer the original one.

It turns out that the eunuch who had been working in the Eastern Palace at the beginning had a younger brother, and the two looked exactly alike, making it difficult to tell them apart.

However, that younger brother was kidnapped when he was very young. He lived a very miserable life and was often abused. After the younger brother grew up, he accidentally entered the Fourth Prince's mansion and worked as a servant.

By chance, his younger brother showed up in front of the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince remembered him.

The elder brother serves in the Eastern Palace and seems to have a promising future. He is also highly regarded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Fourth Prince has met him several times in the Eastern Palace.

Therefore, the Fourth Prince came up with an idea to let his younger brother replace his older brother and serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The younger brother's request was that the Fourth Prince kill his brother, so that he could completely replace his brother's identity and work for the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince agreed to his request.

Just like that, Xie Xi was not careful enough to see through the conspiracy, and drank a cup of tea sent by the eunuch's brother, and unfortunately got the cold poison of southern Xinjiang.

The Fourth Prince was right beside him at the time, and they drank the same tea. It was impossible for Xie Xi to suspect the Fourth Prince. The moment Xie Xi caught his brother who replaced the eunuch, he became mute and could not say anything. Naturally, he could not say who was the mastermind behind the scenes...

It was not until Lu Xiaoxiao showed up that Xie Xi sent people to thoroughly investigate what happened three years ago and the identity of the eunuch. After much investigation, the spies finally found the identity of the fourth prince...

Xie Xi: "If you don't believe me, I have witnesses."

Before entering the palace, Xie Xi had already made all preparations. Even if his brother was from the same mother, he would never give up the position of crown prince.

What's more, my fourth brother even tried to collude with the Princess of Yan State with the intention of rebellion!

"How dare he!"

The Emperor of Li tried his best to suppress his anger and said through gritted teeth: "How dare he do this to you!"

He knew from childhood that Xie Jin was a scheming person, but the Queen was willing to love him, and the Emperor of Li did not say anything. Anyway, Xi'er was there to keep an eye on him, so even if he could not accomplish anything great, he could become a leisurely prince after Xi'er ascended the throne.

However, the Emperor of Li never expected that Xie Jin would actually take action against Xier!

Looking at his father's angry face, Xie Xi did not show any emotion. He said calmly, "Fourth brother wants to harm me, not just this one thing."

The Emperor of Li was so angry that his breathing became unstable. "What else is there? Tell me everything and your father will make the decision for you!"

"When I went to Jiangnan to look for evidence, the news leaked out accidentally. Fourth brother and Concubine Shu sent assassins to hunt me down. Fortunately, I was lucky enough not to let them succeed."

"Also, when in Jiangning, my fourth brother wanted to join forces with the then Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an to deal with me."

Now that you have to say it, you should say it all.

He is not a pushover. There are some things he cannot say directly to his mother, so he will talk to his father.

The Emperor of Li was really about to be angry to death.

Without his knowledge, Xie Jin had done so many stupid things and even dared to send people to assassinate his brother!

And that Concubine Shu deserves to die too!

"There is one more thing today—"

Xie Xi paused, fearing that his father would not be able to accept these things. He glanced at his father calmly, and was relieved to see that his father had not fainted from anger. "Today at 3 pm, my fourth brother will meet with the Princess of Yan at Zui Xiang Lou. Why don't you send someone to listen to what my fourth brother wants to do?"

Xie Xi did not directly tell his fourth brother about his plan, as he was afraid that his father would not be able to bear it and faint on the spot.

After all, his fourth brother was planning a rebellion, and this was a very serious matter, so he would not reveal the answer on his own, and let his father's people listen.

The Emperor of Li was about to faint, but he couldn't. He was so angry that his heart ached. "He is really going to piss me off to death!"

"Yingyi, go to Zuixianglou and wait there. Find out what the Fourth Prince wants to do with the Princess of Yan!"

He completely believed what Xie Xi said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

I didn't see Yingyi appear, I just heard his voice.

However, Xie Xi could still catch a glimpse of the slight fluctuation when Ying Yi left.

Xie Xi: "Father, you believe me. Aren't you afraid that I am trying to sow discord?"

"Whether it is true or false, I can judge it myself, but you——"

The Emperor of Li sighed and said in a difficult tone: "I really didn't expect that Ah Jin was secretly coveting your position."

If the eldest prince wanted to compete for that position, even if the eldest prince didn't say it, the Emperor of Li could see it. But Xie Jin was really as the prince said. Xie Jin's thoughts were hidden too deeply. Not only could he not see through them, even the Queen might not be able to figure them out.

Xie Xi smiled bitterly, "I haven't thought about it. If the evidence wasn't in front of me, I wouldn't be willing to believe it."

If that day comes when he and his fourth brother come into conflict, one wonders how his mother will feel.

"Father, I don't want you to know about this."

Xie Xi lowered his head, his tone somewhat depressed: "The reason why I told you all this is that I just wanted you to be on guard against this."

"Your Majesty, you can also send someone to investigate the incident in which your son was attacked while in Jiangnan."

"I understand."

As he spoke, the Emperor of Li showed an embarrassment on his face, "But Xi'er, A Jin did make a big mistake, but if you don't want your mother to know about these things, I can't punish A Jin for the time being..."

"Wait a minute, I will find a good reason to find his fault and punish him."

Xie Xi: “…”

"Father."

Xie Xi shook his head: "Father, please don't do anything yet, lest Mother find out anything. Also, my fourth brother is planning to attack me at your birthday banquet, so you can make a decision then."

No matter what, Xie Xi didn't want his mother to be torn between the two brothers.

"He actually set his sights on my birthday party!"

The Emperor of Li gritted his teeth, and was so angry that he could hardly speak. He took several deep breaths before he could calm down: "I want to see if he wants to go to heaven!"

"Xi'er, don't worry. I will never let him get his wish. The position of Crown Prince can only be yours, and the future of Li Kingdom can only be handed over to you."

Xie Xi said helplessly: "Father is in his prime, so let's not say these things for now."

Xie Xi was not afraid that his father would do anything bad to him.

Because Xie Xi knew at a very young age that the throne was something his father had to do, and if he could abdicate early, he would be more than happy to do so.

The Emperor of Li sighed again, "Xi'er, now I can't even talk to you?"

Xie Xi clenched his fist and coughed softly, "That's not what I meant, Father. Seeing that it's getting late, I will leave the palace and return home."

The Emperor of Li subconsciously glanced at the window and saw that it was still early outside. The saying it was not early was just an excuse made by Xier!

The Emperor of Li flicked his sleeves and said, "Forget it, go back."

In just a short while, after hearing those words, he instantly felt exhausted.

"Father, I will withdraw first. Please remember what I said."

Before leaving, Xie Xi still gave some advice.

The Emperor of Li was speechless: "Xi'er, your father is not stupid, so you should worry less. Go back home earlier and be more careful on the road."

"My son understands."

Xie Xi stepped out.

He didn't know that after he could no longer see Xie Xi's back, the Emperor of Li's face suddenly turned cold. He waved at the air, and in an instant, two tall figures appeared in front of the Emperor of Li.

It is Shadow Two and Shadow Three.

Shadow Two is good at tracking and assassination, while Shadow Three is good at collecting intelligence and delivering messages.

Shadow Two and Shadow Three both knelt on the ground, bowed their heads respectfully, and spoke at the same time: "What do you want, Master?"

Emperor of Li: "Ying Er, go and keep an eye on the whereabouts of the Princess of Yan. As long as she is still in Shengjing, you must keep a close eye on her. No mistakes can be made."

Shadow 2: "I obey your orders."

"Ying San, go get some information. Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince encounter any problems on his way to Jiangnan? You must find out everything and report it to me."

Xier didn't say it before, and because he trusted Xier, he didn't send anyone to investigate anything related to Xier. Now it seems that he didn't do enough after all, and he should pay more attention to Xier.

The Emperor of Li had lost track of how many times he had sighed.

Shadow Three: "I obey your orders."

The Emperor of Li said in a gloomy tone: "Both of you, get out."

"Yes, Master!"

Before he finished speaking, Shadow 2 and Shadow 3 disappeared in an instant.

"Someone, tell Prime Minister Luo and the others to come in."

The emperor's voice was heard from the imperial study, and Prime Minister Luo and others who had been waiting outside entered again.
