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

"Xi'er, come out."

As soon as Emperor Li finished speaking, he saw Xie Xi walking out from behind the screen, followed by two guards.

One of the guards was escorting Prince Su, who looked extremely embarrassed at the moment. The hair crown on his head had fallen somewhere and his long hair was disheveled. His face was ferocious and a cloth was stuffed in his mouth. His eagle eyes were staring fiercely at Emperor Li who was sitting on the couch.

Noticing Prince Su's gaze, Emperor Li lowered his eyes slightly and looked back at him calmly, as if he could see through the dark thoughts in his heart.

Prince Su's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became more ferocious, but his mouth was blocked tightly and he couldn't utter a word.

"Father."

Xie Xi called out in a calm tone, "I have brought Uncle Su here. I wonder how your Majesty will deal with Uncle Su?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Jin, who had been in shock since seeing Xie Xi and the others suddenly appear, came back to his senses.

Xie Jin widened his eyes and looked in disbelief at Prince Su who was kneeling on the ground in a panic. Then he looked at his father who was still leaning on the couch. For a moment, he seemed to understand everything, and yet he seemed to understand nothing.

"You, you—"

Xie Jin subconsciously took a step back. His eyes were bloodshot, and his right hand clenched into a fist. He said angrily, "You were prepared!"

"How on earth did you know that?"

How did Xie Xi capture Prince Su when he had so many Yan troops helping him?

Now that Prince Su has been taken into the palace by the guards, what about the Yan troops hiding in Prince Su’s private residence?

Xie Jin stared at Prince Su's face, but saw that he looked ugly. He shook his head at him and said silently -

Gone, all gone.

Their plan had already been discovered, and even the Yan army had fallen into Xie Xi's hands...

Xie Jin suddenly felt that his heart was about to stop and his fingers were shaking.

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing."

Xie Xi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Xie Jin indifferently: "Fourth brother, do you think you are the only smart person in the world?"

"Do you think that you can become the new emperor of Li Kingdom by relying on the Yan army and rebelling with Prince Su?"

"Have you never thought that even if you succeed in your rebellion, you will only be cursed in the end? Moreover, as far as I know, Prince Su is also devoted to the throne..."

"Aren't you afraid that the mantis is stalking the cicada, while the oriole is behind?"

Xie Jin was silent.

However, Xie Jin didn't care about the second half of Xie Xi's sentence.

What he cared about was how Xie Xi knew that he would join forces with Prince Su to rebel today?

Could it be that there is Xie Xi's spy around him?

Xie Jin's face changed, and he stared at Xie Xi coldly: "Don't worry about who will take the throne. Now that father has been poisoned by me, if you want to save father's life, you should persuade father to write the edict of succession as soon as possible."

No matter how things develop, Xie Jin has only one goal, he must obtain the imperial edict of succession.

As for whether he will bear the stigma in the future?

If those censors really dared to talk nonsense in front of him, he would definitely send people to raid his house and take his life!

Hearing that his father was poisoned, Xie Xi remained calm and said, "Whether father wants to write a decree of succession or not, I will not interfere with his decision."

Such an answer completely disregarded his father's life and death. Xie Jin frowned, as if he had never seen Xie Xi clearly. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Don't you want to help your father detoxify?"

"Of course I do, but the antidote is in your hands, and I have no other options."

Compared to Xie Xi's calmness, Xie Jin was a little panicked.

Not right.

Xie Jin's mind was in a mess. All his plans were disrupted. Xie Xi shouldn't be so calm...

"Fourth brother."

Noticing Xie Jin's continuous retreat, Xie Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said slowly, "I don't care whether you hand over the antidote to my father's poison or not. Now that things have come to this, you don't have to resist anymore."

So, don't even think about threatening him with your father's life.

"Someone come! Capture the Fourth Prince!"

"You——" Are you really not afraid that your father will die in front of you! ?

Before Xie Jin could finish his words, two guards appeared out of nowhere and held him down on the shoulders.

One of the guards moved very quickly and efficiently. He took out a rope and tied up the fourth prince's hands.

Xie Jin immediately struggled hard, "Let me go! Damn slaves, how dare you be rude to me!"

"Second brother, do you really want to watch father die from the poison?!"

"Or, Second Brother, have you been hoping that our father will die?"

"Hahaha--"

"I knew that you, my second brother, are not a good person. You pretend to be gentle and polite to others, but in fact you only want to kill my father and ascend to the throne!"

The four guards present: "..."

Such outrageous words cannot the Fourth Prince show some consideration for them?

"Second brother, actually you and I are the same kind of people—"

Xie Xi: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but my father was not poisoned."

The smile on Xie Jin's face suddenly stopped.

"How can it be!?"

Xie Jin calmed himself down and sneered, "All the cakes I brought were poisonous. My father even vomited blood just now. You must be lying to me!"

Xie Xi did not explain and just called out "Father" to Emperor Li.

Emperor Li immediately stood up from the couch and walked steadily to Xie Jin, without any sign of weakness as before.

Emperor Li stood still, looking down at him with a complicated expression.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Li spoke: "I am indeed not poisoned, and those cakes are not poisonous. From the moment you entered the palace, the people I arranged have been keeping an eye on you. Those cakes that you poisoned have long been replaced..."

Emperor Li had already received the report from the shadow guard about Xie Jin going to the imperial kitchen and deliberately poisoning him.

If he was not absolutely sure, Emperor Li would not have let Xie Jin get close to the Yangxin Palace. His oral order not to see anyone was fake, his cold was fake, and even his poisoning and vomiting blood were fake. He just wanted Xie Jin to let down his guard and lure him into the game.

"As for why I vomited blood, it was because the imperial physician prescribed a medicine for me. As long as I hold it in my mouth, I can pretend to be poisoned and spit out black blood."

Emperor Li paused for a moment, disappointed, and sighed, "Xie Jin, I didn't expect you to kill me..."

This is a bureau aimed at him.

Everything he did became a complete joke in their eyes!

Xie Jin opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

His face was pale and he sat on the ground in a mess.

"I lost." I lost miserably.

"But I, I am unwilling..."

"puff"

Before he could finish his words, Xie Jin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which instantly dyed his clothes red.

The next moment, Xie Jin fainted completely.

-

Prince Su's conspiracy with the Fourth Prince failed, and the two were imprisoned in the clan house at the same time. Their punishment was temporarily postponed. With the instruction of Emperor Li, the matter instantly became a hot topic in Shengjing City.

For ordinary people, they are more curious and want to join in the fun. After they get tired of hearing the news, they will no longer care about such things and will only focus on making a living.

For the aristocratic families, it makes them stand more firmly on the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Moreover, the Prince Su's Mansion and the Fourth Prince's Mansion have both been sealed off, and it is impossible for either of them to turn things around again.

As for those secret agents of Yan State, they were not able to escape successfully. The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice had already received orders from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take all precautions in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and the prison was guarded by the Imperial Guards. Those people could not cause any trouble, but were taken to the guillotine one by one in advance and executed at noon.

Even the Princess of Yan was openly watched by the people sent by Emperor Li, and she was not allowed to leave their sight for even a step.

This is to lock up the Princess of Yan.

After all, hundreds of thousands of Yan troops appeared in the Kingdom of Li with the intention of rebellion, and the Emperor of Li was very generous by not killing the Princess of Yan and her entourage...

After this incident, Xie Xi, the crown prince, became even busier.

Lu Xiaoxiao stayed in the East Palace for a few days, but finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she begged Xie Xi to let her leave the palace and return to the Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness, I miss my sister, Concubine. Why don't you let me go back home first?"

Lu Xiaoxiao originally wanted to find the whereabouts of the little princess as soon as possible.

But now she was locked up in the East Palace all day, unable to go anywhere and unable to find anyone. It was such a waste of time.

What's more, His Highness was so busy all day that he was nowhere to be seen. Lu Xiaoxiao stayed in the bedroom alone with nothing to do, and she felt even more bored in an instant.

As far as she knew, Emperor Li and His Royal Highness had been avoiding the Empress these past few days, fearing that the Empress would ask about the Fourth Prince. As a result, Lu Xiaoxiao was even more afraid to go to Feng'an Palace.

That fake Xie Jin doesn't deserve the Queen's care!

She must find the little princess as soon as possible and bring her to the Queen!

"Do you miss Concubine Xiao?"

Hearing this, Xie Xi's expression was slightly complicated. He raised his hand and rubbed his brows, then sighed softly: "I am with you, but you are still thinking about Concubine Xiao."

"Forehead……"

[Listening to what Your Highness said, it seems a bit sour? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao touched her nose subconsciously.

Looking at the aggrieved look on her own prince's face, Lu Xiaoxiao's heart softened instantly, "Actually, I don't really miss Concubine Xiao..."

[If I hadn't left the palace to look for the little princess, I wouldn't have come up with such an excuse. Moreover, the Queen is very sad right now, and I'm sure Your Highness is also feeling bad...]

[If I can find the little princess as soon as possible, then His Highness and the Queen will no longer be sad about that fake! ]

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh.

Xie Xi was stunned.

He didn't expect that Xiaoxiao didn't want to continue staying in the East Palace with him, and was thinking of going out to find the whereabouts of the imperial sister?

She was devoted to him, and he couldn't stop her.

"it is good."

Xie Xi raised his hand and ruffled her hair. A trace of affection spread in his eyes, and his tone softened: "I will accompany you back to the mansion."

"Really?"

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at him with joy.

Xie Xi hummed softly and said with a smile: "Of course it's true. I'll ask someone to prepare the carriage right away."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Then Your Highness, would you like to go and tell His Majesty first?"

"No need, Father will know."

Xie Xi shook his head and held her hand. "Xiaoxiao, please sit here and wait. I am going to bring back the memorials that I have not reviewed today."

"it is good."

Lu Xiaoxiao responded obediently.

Xie Xi asked Mu Qing to arrange the carriage, and then he returned to the study and collected all the memorials on the desk and put them into the box.

Half an hour later, Mu Qing came back leading two carriages.

Lu Xiaoxiao: ???

"Guard Mu Qing, didn't His Highness ask you to lead a carriage? Why...?"

[It's impossible for His Highness and I to be separated and sit in separate carriages, right? ]

[In the past, Guard Mu Qing didn't seem so stupid, right? ]

Mu Qing: “…”

Master Liang Yuan, please don't speak so loudly, he can hear it.

Fortunately, Mu Qing had an expressionless face. When he had no expression on his face, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Mu Qing: "Master Liangyuan, the carriage behind is filled with memorials sent by the emperor, saying that His Highness is asked to take them back to the palace."

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

【Oh, I misunderstood. 】

[I knew it, Guard Mu Qing is always very smart, how could he make such a small mistake? ]

Mu Qing: I felt comforted.

Lu Xiaoxiao was curious and ran to the carriage behind.

She tried to stand on tiptoe and was about to open the curtain, but she heard Xie Xi's gentle voice first, which seemed to contain doubts: "Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?"

"Your Highness!"

Lu Xiaoxiao turned around, rushed towards Xie Xi with a smile, and stopped in front of him.

Her eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were full of sweet smiles: "Just now I heard Guard Mu Qing say that the emperor prepared a lot of memorials for Your Highness, and put them all in the carriage. I wanted to see how many memorials there were that required Guard Mu Qing to pull another carriage..."

Hearing this, Xie Xi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "So that's what happened."

"Father really doesn't want me to go back home to rest."

All the memorials were handed over to him. Could it be that my father really wanted to abdicate the throne to him?

Xie Xi shook his head helplessly. He really couldn't do anything about his father.

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes turned, and she said quickly: "Your Highness has helped His Majesty to share his worries. Your Highness has worked hard."

[After returning to the palace, His Highness will continue to be busy working for His Majesty. I guess His Highness will not have the energy to care about me. That's perfect. It will be convenient for me to sneak out of the palace to do some work! ]

Hearing that Lu Xiaoxiao's mind had already drifted away from the palace, Xie Xi did not stay in the East Palace any longer. After sending someone to move the three boxes in the study onto the carriage, he helped Lu Xiaoxiao get on the carriage and left the palace with her and returned home.

Lu Xiaoxiao: "I've been staying in the palace these days, and I don't know what the situation is like in the mansion..."

Xie Xi held her hand and said to comfort her: "Don't worry, with Concubine Xiao and the housekeeper here, nothing will happen in the mansion."

"Ah."

After leaving the palace, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car and secretly glance outside.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaoxiao paused, and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye...
