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

Emperor Li was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly raised his head and laughed out loud, looking at Xie Xi with an indulgent smile: "You, you dare to tease me at the palace banquet, aren't you afraid that I will be angry with you?"

Xie Xi smiled and said calmly, "Father, you are wrong. I am not trying to tease you. I just want to make you laugh."

"Father, do you really not want to guess what the three-point gift is?"

As he spoke, Xie Xi deliberately added, "It will indeed be the gift that Father has been dreaming of."

"..."

Everyone at the palace banquet was also shocked by the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although they had long known that His Majesty had always valued and favored His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, now seeing the relationship between His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it was more like the harmonious and warm relationship between an ordinary father and son. There was no monarch and subject, only father and son.

All of a sudden, all the ministers lowered their eyes, with different thoughts in their minds.

After hearing what Xie Xi said, the Queen asked curiously before Emperor Li could speak, "Xi'er, what on earth have you prepared that is so mysterious?"

Xie Xi smiled without saying anything, raised his eyes and looked at his father. His gentle eyes seemed to say, yes, father, it is just as you think.

Emperor Li was immediately excited and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Xi'er is so thoughtful. I like the gift Xi'er sent me very much!"

"Come here, move all the gifts sent by the Crown Prince into the Imperial Study. There must be no mistakes with the three gifts!"

Emperor Li liked to move all valuable things to the imperial study and display them. His private vault was almost identical to Xie Xi's, and both were located in the study.

There are many imperial guards guarding outside the imperial study, so it is naturally the safest place.

Following the emperor's order, two imperial guards immediately stepped forward and took away the gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

No one present was even qualified to see what the gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was.

Their curiosity was piqued, but they couldn't get an answer.

Lu Xiaoxiao and Concubine Xiao did not expect such development, and they never thought that His Highness and His Majesty got along quite casually?

The two elder brothers stole the limelight in front, but the third prince remained calm. He pursed his lips, smiled shyly and presented the gift to his father. "I wish you good health and a strong Li Kingdom."

The third prince sent a box full of gold ingots. The gold ingots were piled up so that they could not be closed. It was just covered with a red cloth. After the red cloth was lifted, all that could be seen was a golden glow. The concubines who were sitting closer were almost blinded by the gold.

Emperor Li nodded and had the box of gold moved into the warehouse.

Next, several princes presented their gifts, all acting very normally.

The Crown Prince of Fan and the third princess of Rong also stepped forward and brought out the gifts they had prepared long ago, and stated that Fan, Rong and Li would always be allies.

Only Yan Ji, the eldest princess of Yan State, suddenly sneered, "What are you talking about allies? It's obvious that they only think of forming an alliance because they can't win..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the envoys, princesses and princes from Fan and Rong countries all looked unhappy in an instant. They all had gloomy faces and stared at the Princess of Yan.

However, the Princess of Yan State did not take it seriously at all. She even looked at them with disdain and yawned lazily: "What? Is what I said wrong?"

The strength of the Yan State was quite good, which made the Princess of Yan State become more arrogant and domineering.

"Princess Yan, please be careful with your words."

Emperor Li said calmly.

If the Princess of Yan had not originally entered Shengjing under the pretext of sending him a gift, Emperor Li would not have wanted to let the Princess of Yan enter the palace, let alone attend this palace banquet...

Everyone could hear the displeasure in the emperor's words, and the hall suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere became cold.

Yan Ji's eyes darkened and she looked displeased.

As the eldest princess of Yan State and with the support of her royal brother, Yan Ji always says whatever she wants.

What's more, what she said this time was the truth. Only countries without strength would think of forming an alliance with other countries.

The two countries of Fan and Rong were not worth mentioning at all in front of the State of Yan. Only Emperor Li still regarded them as treasures.

Yan Ji snorted in indignation and closed her mouth unwillingly.

Seeing this, the queen gave an unnoticeable look to Aunt Yincong who was standing beside her.

Aunt Yincong understood and quickly retreated.

In a short while, nine stunningly beautiful dancers came in from outside the hall, their charm revealed as they raised their sleeves.

Emperor Li relaxed his expression and raised his glass to drink with the Queen who was sitting next to him.

With singing and dancing, the hall soon became lively.

Lu Xiaoxiao stared intently at the dancers, and even when Xie Xi glanced at her several times, she didn't notice.

Xie Xi: “…”

Concubine Xiao on the side quickly lowered her head, fearing that she would not be able to hold back her laughter.

It is really hard to imagine that there will be such a day for Your Highness.

Xie Xi didn't know that Concubine Xiao was secretly laughing at him. Seeing that Lu Xiaoxiao's mind and eyes were full of those dancers, his face showed no emotion, but he couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.

Taking advantage of the table's cover, Xie Xi reached out and scratched her palm, then took her hand.

Lu Xiaoxiao felt a little itchy: ???

Lu Xiaoxiao, who was immersed in the singing and dancing, suddenly came back to her senses. She raised her head and looked at Xie Xi suspiciously, wondering: [Your Highness seems to be a little bit off? It seems that nothing happened just now? Why did Your Highness insist on holding my hand? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao tried to struggle but failed to break free.

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Emperor Li and Empress, who were sitting on high seats, suddenly heard a familiar voice. After a slight pause, the Emperor and Empress looked at each other quickly, and subconsciously set their sights on Xie Xi.

Staring at his hands again.

But the table in front of Xie Xi and Lu Xiaoxiao blocked the emperor and empress's view, and they could not see whether Xie Xi was holding Lu Xiaoxiao's hand or not.

Xie Xi, on the other hand, was still able to maintain his composure under the gazes of the three. His face was gentle and calm, as if he had no idea that his father, mother, and Lu Xiaoxiao were staring at him.

Xie Xi held her hand tightly.

He tilted his eyes, curled his lips, and raised a very faint smile.

Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned and could only hear the sound of her own heart beating wildly.

[It's really terrible, why is Your Highness suddenly smiling so beautifully! ]

She didn't struggle when His Highness insisted on holding her hand.

Even the singing and dancing were not something Lu Xiaoxiao wanted to watch anymore.

She sat upright, with a serious face, her heart beating with excitement.

After pausing for a moment, she secretly glanced at Xie Xi again, and happened to meet his deep gaze, which contained a faint smile.

He said silently: If Xiaoxiao wants to see me, there is no need to be so sneaky.

Lu Xiaoxiao:!!!

Lu Xiaoxin was startled and a little embarrassed, and quickly looked away -

[Eh? That person is... Prince Su? ]

Hearing what was in his heart, Xie Xi subconsciously looked in the direction Lu Xiaoxiao was looking.

But he inadvertently saw the woman sitting next to Uncle Su. Looking at her face, she seemed familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

Xie Xi frowned, unable to remember when he had last met this person.

But he clearly remembered that after the death of the Imperial Aunt, Imperial Uncle Su had been unwilling to marry, and he even had few concubines in his house. How come Imperial Uncle Su brought a woman to the palace banquet today?

Xie Xi pursed his lips, feeling confused.

Lu Xiaoxiao who was standing by had no idea what was in Xie Xi's mind. She was flipping through the romantic history of Prince Su.

Lu Xiaoxiao had looked through the life stories of all the ministers who came to attend the palace banquet this time in the system. She wanted to see if the important officials in the court had any little secrets hidden, and she had to collect them one by one.

In the future, when His Highness really ascends the throne, if there are court officials who are dissatisfied, she will hand over all the ministers' little secrets to His Highness!

She just didn't believe it. Now that she had the leverage over those ministers, she didn't believe that they would refuse to obey the emperor's orders!

Of course, Prince Su’s little secret cannot be missed!

Moreover, Prince Su is a member of the royal family and the uncle of His Highness. Lu Xiaoxiao dare not be without any precautions. What if Prince Su insists on interfering in the throne?

To protect His Highness' throne, we must not allow Prince Su any chance or wish!

Lu Xiaoxiao had a tense face, and looked seriously at the plots about Prince Su displayed in the system.

[Well, Prince Su has been very well behaved in the past two years. He has been staying in his house and rarely comes out. He has not done anything behind the scenes.]

Lu Xiaoxiao casually flipped through the recent plot of Prince Su, which was so dull that she felt bored. She read on quickly, muttering to herself.

Suddenly, her eyes paused.

[Sixteen years ago, Prince Xiao had an affair with a maid from the laundry department. The maid gave birth to a baby boy after ten months of pregnancy and gave it to Prince Su. In exchange, the maid left the palace smoothly and became a concubine in Prince Su's mansion...]

[Three days later, Prince Su learned that the Queen had given birth in the palace, so he secretly bribed the three midwives who were supposed to deliver the Queen at the time and exchanged his own son for the princess born by the Queen???]

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoxiao was completely stunned.

As if she had received a huge fright in an instant, her little head could hardly move, and even the wonderful song and dance in the center of the hall could not bring her back to consciousness.

[It turns out that the Queen gave birth to a princess instead of a prince! ? ]

[So, the fourth prince Xie Jin is not the Queen's biological son at all. Xie Jin's parents should be... Prince Su and that rough maid? ]

[Oh my god, what kind of a plot is this? How dare Prince Su! How dare he pass off his own son as the legitimate son of the emperor and the queen? ]

[What about the little princess? What about the little princess that the queen risked her life to give birth to? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao was so focused on finding the whereabouts of the little princess from Prince Su that she was completely unaware that Xie Xi, Concubine Xiao, the Fifth Prince, and the Emperor and Empress beside her all showed shocked expressions at the same time.

The emperor and the empress have always been stable. Even if they encounter many dangers, they can stay calm and think of ways to escape as soon as possible.

But now, they really couldn't calm down, and all that echoed in their minds was Lu Liangyuan's voice——

Prince Su exchanged his own biological son for their little princess?

It turns out that the child she gave birth to at the cost of her life was not a prince, but a princess! ?

The Queen couldn't believe it!

If His Majesty hadn't held her hand tightly, the Queen would have almost stood up and rushed to Lu Liangyuan, asking her if everything she thought in her heart was true! ?

If what she gave birth to that day was a little princess, then where is her little princess now?

"Queen, calm down first."

Realizing that his queen was too excited, Emperor Li raised his wine glass, turned around and whispered to the queen: "The truth of the matter has not yet been found out. The queen must not be impulsive at this time, otherwise..."

"If it were true, it would alert the enemy."

Emperor Li was somewhat skeptical.

Although Lu Liangyuan was indeed somewhat magical, Emperor Li was not sure that everything Lu Liangyuan said in her heart was true.

What's more, it's a palace banquet now, so that kind of thing cannot be said openly.

"Queen, please bear with it for now. I will let Lu Liangyuan stay in the palace and explain the matter clearly..."

After hearing the emperor's consolation, the queen gradually calmed down.

She temporarily suppressed her impatience and took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, I will listen to you first. After the palace banquet is over, I will see Lu Liangyuan in Feng'an Palace!"

"Okay, I promise you."

Emperor Li responded without hesitation.

……

Many people in the palace noticed the strangeness of Emperor Li and the Queen.

Prince Su raised his eyebrows, and quickly shifted his gaze, as if inadvertently, to the Fourth Prince Xie Jin.

Their eyes met and they smiled silently, as if they had suddenly reached some kind of cooperation.

Xie Xi's face suddenly turned cold when he noticed this scene.

After hearing those shocking voices just now, Xie Xi was the one who reacted the fastest. He was different from the others, he knew that everything Lu Xiaoxiao said in her heart was true, but he didn't expect that Prince Su was so bold that he had been planning to use his bloodline to grab the position that did not belong to them!

What was even more unexpected was that Prince Su would be so cruel as to bribe the midwife to exchange his own sister!

Now no one knows where the imperial sister is hidden! No one knows whether she is alive or dead!

Thinking of this, Xie Xi quickly restrained the emotions in his eyes and turned to stare at Uncle Su who was sitting not far away. Little did he know that he happened to see the strangeness between Uncle Su and Xie Jin.

Countless absurd speculations inexplicably appeared in Xie Xi's mind -

Did Xie Jin already know his own identity?

So, had Xie Jin and Uncle Su known each other a long time ago?

Xie Jin had to target me, could it be because he knew my background?

All these speculations made Xie Xi a little hesitant to think about it.

He really didn't expect that back then in the palace, his mother was firmly in the position of Queen, and everything in the harem was under her control...

But in the end, such a thing could actually happen!

Not only Xie Xi couldn't figure it out, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't figure it out either.

[Why did I go through all the plots with Prince Su, but still couldn't find the whereabouts of the little princess? ]
