Puxi Palace, the palace of Concubine Wenxi, is filled with a depressing atmosphere at this moment.

Inside the palace, Imperial Concubine Wenxi, the Second Prince and others had gloomy expressions, as if they were shrouded in dark clouds.

The imperial physician had just left. Although he diagnosed that the injuries on the second prince seemed serious, they were actually only superficial injuries and would heal in ten days or half a month. However, this still could not ease the resentment in their hearts.

Concubine Wenxi looked at her son's ugly face and sighed helplessly.

She frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry and reproach: "My son, didn't your mother tell you not to conflict with the crown prince? Why didn't you listen? Given how much your father values ​​the crown prince, he wouldn't punish the crown prince even if you were beaten."

Her words were full of complaints against the Crown Prince, as if all the faults were on him, but she completely ignored the fact that it was the Second Prince who was unreasonable first and also snatched the things bestowed by the Emperor.

The second prince's face became even uglier when he heard what his mother said.

He snorted coldly, full of dissatisfaction: "Mother, it's not me who wants to conflict with the Crown Prince. It's clearly the Crown Prince who is showing off with the jade in front of the Emperor. The Emperor just wants to teach the Crown Prince a lesson."

His eyes were burning with anger, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

However, he never reflected on what was wrong with his behavior.

The Second Prince became even angrier when he thought that he had intended to teach the Crown Prince a lesson but was instead taught a lesson.

It's really a shameful thing to say this out loud.

What made him most angry was that he was the one who was injured, but he was also the one punished by his father.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He clenched his fists tightly and wished he could go find the prince immediately to seek revenge.

But he also knew that with his current strength, he could not compete with the prince.

The atmosphere in the palace became increasingly heavy, as if the air had solidified.

Imperial Concubine Wenxi and the Second Prince were both immersed in their own emotions, unable to extricate themselves.

Concubine Wenxi looked at the Second Prince's angry expression and felt annoyed.

She closed her eyes slightly, trying to suppress her emotions. When she opened her eyes again, there was a hint of severity in her eyes.

"My son, calm down and think carefully. What good will it do to be so impulsive now? Since your father values ​​the prince so much, you should learn to be patient and wait for the opportunity." Imperial Concubine Wenxi said earnestly.

The Second Prince was still unwilling to accept the situation. "Mother, am I going to suffer this injustice for nothing? The Crown Prince is so arrogant. I just can't swallow this anger."

Concubine Wenxi sighed softly, "My son, you must understand that in this palace, acting on impulse will only put you in a more difficult situation. You need to learn to keep a low profile and accumulate strength. When the time is right one day, it will not be too late to make plans."

The second prince gritted his teeth. Although he was still angry, he knew that what his mother said made sense.

He slowly loosened his clenched fists, and the anger in his eyes subsided a little.

"Mother, I understand. But I am really upset." The second prince said in a low voice.

Imperial Concubine Wenxi nodded slightly, "It's good that my son understands. Now you should take good care of your injuries. No matter how powerful the Crown Prince is, there is still a stupid Third Prince, right? If you can't deal with the Crown Prince, how can you deal with the Third Prince?"

The atmosphere in the palace was still heavy, but the Second Prince's emotions had gradually stabilized.

When the Second Prince heard his mother mention the Third Prince, his eyes moved slightly, and the anger in his heart seemed to have found a new outlet.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said thoughtfully: "Mother is right, the Third Prince is indeed stupid, and it is easy for me to deal with him."

The corners of Concubine Wenxi's mouth slightly raised, revealing a sinister smile: "My son, you should recover from your injuries first. When you are well, we will find a chance to teach the Third Prince a lesson. Let the Crown Prince know that we are not easy to bully."

The second prince nodded and began to think about how to deal with the third prince.

However, he did not realize that his actions had unknowingly fallen into a deeper vortex.

In this palace, the struggle for power never stops.

Everyone is doing whatever it takes to pursue their own interests, and the actions of the Second Prince and Concubine Wenxi will inevitably cause more waves.

As time went by, the second prince's injuries gradually improved.

He began to secretly observe the Third Prince's every move, looking for an opportunity to strike.

The third prince was still ignorant. After he recovered from his injuries, he followed the crown prince around every day.

One day, the third prince was playing in the palace garden.

When the second prince heard the news, a cruel smile appeared on his face.

He came quietly to the garden with a few followers, preparing to give the third prince a "surprise".

The third prince was immersed in the beauty of the garden when he suddenly heard footsteps.

He looked back and saw the second prince and a group of people coming towards him aggressively.

The third prince was shocked and an ugly look appeared on his face.

"Second brother, what are you doing..." The third prince frowned, knowing in his heart that it was definitely not a good thing.

The second prince sneered, his eyes full of mockery: "Third brother, long time no see. Let's settle accounts today."

The Third Prince sneered, "Second Brother, we have no grudges against each other, what is there to settle? Moreover, even if there is a need to settle, I will come to you. Last time, you and your fourth and fifth brothers besieged me. Have you forgotten?"

The Second Prince took a step forward and grabbed the Third Prince by the collar. "Humph, no grudges? Don't forget how your brother the Crown Prince bullied me. Today, I will use you as a scapegoat."

After saying that, the second prince raised his hand, ready to slap the third prince.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and stood in front of the third prince.

"Second Prince, you are so brave! How dare you commit a crime in the palace." The person who came was Xie Wu, the prince's trusted guard.

The Second Prince was startled when he saw Xie Wu, but he still refused to give up: "Humph, who do you think you are? How dare you interfere in my affairs?"

Xie Wu showed no fear and said coldly, "Second Prince, if you dare to do anything wrong again, I will report this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Don't blame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for being rude then."

Although the Second Prince was angry, he also knew that it was not appropriate to have a head-on confrontation with the Crown Prince at this time.

He glared at the third prince fiercely and let go of his hand.

"You are lucky today. But you must remember that this account will be settled sooner or later." After the second prince said this, he turned and left with his entourage.

The third prince's expression became increasingly ugly.

Xie Wu comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Your Highness the Third Prince. With Your Highness the Crown Prince here, the Second Prince won't dare to do anything to you."

The Third Prince looked at the guard gratefully: "Thank you very much. If you hadn't shown up in time, I'm afraid..."

How could he deal with so many people led by the Second Prince alone?

Moreover, he really did not expect that the second prince would dare to attack him in the palace.

Xie Wu smiled slightly: "Your Highness, the Third Prince, you are welcome. It is my duty to protect Your Highness. When Your Highness goes out in the future, it is best to bring more guards with you to avoid being killed by the Second Prince again."
