What am I thinking when I'm cheating on the male supporting role [Transmigration Book]

Xie Duo's new strategy made Han Jiao feel very complicated.

On the bright side, Xie Duo followed the traditional routine very cooperatively, expounding the topic by citing examples, which conforms to the standard mode of policy theory.

It can be seen that it is just dealing with business affairs, and there is no divergent innovation, but the logic of the article is rigorous, and there are no omissions at all. As a prince's homework, it is already at an extremely high level.

However, Xie Duo still did not give up on inserting the [-]-word "Rules of Work for Public Servants of the People"!

"Why, Your Highness." Han Jiao weakly shook the policy theory in his hand, staring at Xie Duo who was waiting for praise with his legs crossed, and questioned: "Since you are willing to try the traditional writing method, why don't you quote one more example?" Is that enough? Why do you have to stuff this long paragraph into every policy theory!"

There was no shame on Xie Duo's white face: "Didn't sir say that the father might conduct spot checks?"

Han Jiao asked: "Then you still dare to insert this paragraph?"

Xie Duo said frankly: "This is the first time I wrote a policy theory according to the rules. If I didn't add this paragraph, my father would think that I asked someone else to write it for me. I don't want to be punished anymore."

Han Jiao: "..."

Also, this "Code of Work" is a representative feature of Xie Duo's laziness. Now His Highness's writing format has made a qualitative leap, so it must be done step by step, otherwise it will look like ghostwriting.

Therefore, Han Jiao happily accepted Xie Duo's homework.

After the lecture, he immediately sat down and chatted among the princes, looking for an opportunity to mention King Duan.

Getting close to King Duan was very abrupt for Han Jiao. If he asked Xie Duo for a recommendation in private, his motives would appear to be impure, as if he wanted to find another way out after being abandoned by King Yan.

Xie Duo is very smart, Han Jiao can tell him his true thoughts - if he can help King Duan get out of the psychological trauma and ease the brotherly relationship between King Duan and King Yan, then the party dispute can be solved at the root.

This method seems too ideal, but it is not impossible, because the struggle between King Duan and King Yan is not for power and status.

King Duan's illness was the cause of the conflict between the brothers, and it was the condition that Mr. Li Ge relied on, but it was also the proof that King Duan passively participated in the party struggle.

The crown prince is not what King Duan wants. What he really needs is to rebuild his sense of security, let go of the excessive defense caused by trauma, and reduce the stress symptoms as much as possible. Only in this way can he feel the goodwill of himself and others again, and rebuild the meaning of life.

Frankly speaking, Han Jiao also had another selfish intention in trying to treat King Duan——

He suspected that in the original book, the reason for Xie Duo's blackening was related to the death of King Duan.

The time is too close: King Duan died, Xie Duo turned black, one before the other.

The cause of King Duan's death, which was ruled as suicide, was also very suspicious.

Could it be the hands of King Yan's party?

Or, would Xie Duo suspect that it was the hands of King Yan's party?

At present, it seems that Xie Duo has never thought that this party struggle will go to the point of life and death.

He thinks that the royal father has his own decision, whoever becomes the crown prince, the other party just needs to get out of here. We are still brothers, and it's not that we can't afford to lose.

In his opinion, the drudgery of approving hundreds or thousands of books a day is nothing to contend with.

Therefore, King Duan's death was definitely an accidental blow, probably related to the sudden abnormality of the big boss, and Han Jiao hoped that the stinky brother would continue to be so carefree and stinky.

He wanted to save King Duan, not so much to remove obstacles for King Yan, but to prevent the suspicious inducement of the big boss' perversion.

Rather than helping King Yan ascend the throne, Han Jiao seems to be more worried about the future safety of the big boss.

hateful.

I hate to admit it, but...

Han Jiao felt that his concern for Xie Duo seemed to exceed the reasonable range. This inexplicable concern made him inexplicably uneasy, so he simply didn't think about it and just carried out the plan.

With the presence of the eighth and tenth princes, the topic was quickly taken away by Han Jiao, and the princes naturally chatted about the weird Duan Wang Xie Xiu.

"It's fine if he doesn't talk to our brothers himself, and Lao Jiu is not allowed to talk to us." The eighth prince complained with dissatisfaction: "Every time he hears Lao Jiu calling my brother, he will teach Lao Jiu a lesson."

Han Jiao asked in surprise, "Prince Duan won't let His Royal Highness Jiu call your elder brother?"

"That's right! The seventh brother is like this—" The tenth prince stood up, imitating the way Prince Duan shrugged his shoulders when he was nervous, looked ahead with empty eyes and said, "A Duo, be careful, don't call others casually. elder brother."

"It's very similar to Hahahahaha!" The Eighth Prince clapped his palms and smiled, "That's it! You have to purse your lips after you finish speaking."

Thus, the Tenth Prince re-enacted King Duan's strange behavior.

Han Jiao smiled cooperatingly, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Xie Duo was also smiling, but the smile was unnatural.

Xie Duo probably doesn't like other people making fun of King Duan's weird behavior, but unlike King Duan, he can only live in a small world. Made the game, showing excessive dissatisfaction.

Duan Wang's weird behavior has hurt the people around him, Xie Duo understands that it is only natural that people don't like Duan Wang, and he himself had many disputes with Duan Wang when he was a child.

Xie Duo didn't understand the reason for Xie Xiu's excessive rejection of the outside world. In his eyes, Seventh Brother is usually a knowledgeable, intelligent and omniscient elder brother, but once outsiders try to approach, Seventh Brother's behavior is like... like a brain has a problem.

This is a very shameful thing.

When Xie Duo was young, he would brag to others about how powerful Seventh Brother was, but when others saw Xie Xiu, they saw a wooden man like an empty shell.

Every time after waiting for everyone to leave, the young Xie Duo would always lose his temper and blame Xie Xiu for being too shy. This was the only explanation he could think of.

It's strange to say that Xie Xiu has always been sensitive to anger. Anyone who gets angry with him like this will scare him out of control. Only when the ninth brother loses his temper, he still feels safe and will explain with a smile: "They are very noisy. ,very dangerous."

Xie Xiu is prone to panic, severe psychological trauma, and shattered horror memories flash back in his mind at any time. These flashbacks will cause three instinctive stress reactions: fight, flee, or become numb.

Once out of control, Xie Xiu would suddenly attack the person who caused the fear. Once he caused trouble, Mr. Li Ge would stand up and take all the responsibility for him, blaming it all on the teacher for not teaching the students well.

This made Xie Xiu more nervous and sensitive. Over time, in order not to hurt Mr. Li Ge, he chose to escape and become numb.

But this made his ninth brother unacceptable.

The brothers once almost broke up because of this.

It happened in the winter three years ago.

The snow was very heavy that year, and an ice sculpture competition was held in the capital, and the princes also went out of the palace to watch the excitement.

Hand-carving is Xie Xiu's specialty.

Xie Duo didn't take part in the competition himself, and took his big companion to personally shovel snow for Seventh Brother on a small hill, waiting for Seventh Brother to show his skills and open the eyes of his brothers who looked down on him.

Xie Xiu also wanted to meet his younger brother's expectations.

He concentrated on carving for more than half an hour, and the rudimentary form of the phoenix ice sculpture soon attracted crowds of onlookers and admiration.

Xie Zuo was so pleased that he dragged his brothers over to watch.

An accident happened at this time. A child playing a snowball fight accidentally hit Xie Xiu's arm.

It's just a loose little snowball, and it doesn't hurt when you hit it. It doesn't seem to be a big deal.

However, this snowball made Xie Xiu notice the children chasing and playing around.

Turning his head, Xie Xiu saw not far away, a child was pressing on another child to fight, and the image of being pressed to the ground by the sixth brother flashed back in his mind for a moment.

The blood rushed to the brain in an instant, Xie Xiu dropped the carving knife in his hand, crouched down slowly with his head in his arms, and started yelling.

People around started pointing and talking.

"The sixth one didn't come, how could he go crazy?" The fourth prince who was pulled to watch rolled his eyes.

"Hurry up and send him back to the palace, why bring him out? It's a shame!" The second prince looked disgusted, and hurriedly sent the eunuch to pull Lao Qi.

"It's so noisy!" The 13-year-old Xie Duo suddenly yelled violently, like a little lion with a furry head, turned around and stepped forward, raised his hand and pushed the second prince violently: "Shut up, Brother Seven will be fine, he Your ice sculpture is about to win the championship, you are not allowed to speak!"

The second prince was so angry that his face turned pale. No younger brother had ever dared to be rude to him like this, but this little bastard was favored by his father. He weighed it over and over again, and did not turn his face. He only smiled and said that he was waiting to see the old seventh win the championship.

However, the miracle did not happen, and Xie Xiu's collapse lasted until the end of the ice sculpture competition.

During the period, Xie Duo tried to grab his hand, wanting him to continue carving the phoenix, but it was a pity that Xie Xiu gradually regained his composure when the crowd dispersed.

The princes also came to say hello and left one after another.

"Let's go, Ah Duo, brother will take you back to the palace." Xie Xiu returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Xie Duo looked at him coldly: "You promise to carve a phoenix well."

Xie Xiu turned his head to look at the semi-finished product he carved, and told his younger brother: "The competition is over before I finish carving, and I will come back next year."

Xie Duo stubbornly turned his head away.

Xie Xiu went to hold his younger brother's arm: "Let's go, it's cool at night."

Xie Duo turned away from his hand and replied in a low voice, "I don't want to go back to the palace with you."

"Why?" Xie Xiu looked blank, but his younger brother didn't answer him. He got on his horse silently and disappeared into the snow.

After returning to the palace, Xie Duo hid in his bedroom alone, the Eighth Prince didn't dare to talk to him, and the eunuchs didn't dare to coax him.

Sulking until dark, a eunuch suddenly came in in a hurry to report something urgent.

After hearing this, Xie Duo jumped out of bed immediately, rushed out of the yard without putting on his boots, led the horse, and left the palace overnight.

The north wind howled, and the bustling market in the south of the city was now desolate. Hundreds of ice sculptures were covered by heavy snow, and their prototypes could not be seen. Under the dim moonlight, they looked like tombs.

Only the crystal clear phoenix in the distance is still proudly spreading its wings in the wind and snow.

The eunuchs who originally carried the wind lanterns all went to the surrounding inns to keep warm, and the wind lanterns were placed around the Phoenix.

Xie Xiu stood alone under the moonlight, and continued to carve the phoenix's wings with his frozen right hand.

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps approaching, Xie Xiu turned his head to look vigilantly.

Just the twilight of the moon was enough for him to recognize his younger brother's figure. Xie Xiu excitedly raised his hand to wipe the snow off Phoenix's back, then turned his head and shouted to his younger brother: "Brother will finish the sculpture soon!"

Xie Duo strode over, but without looking at Fenghuang, he tore off his cloak, wrapped his hands around Xie Xiu, bent over and carried him on his shoulders, turned around and rushed towards the inn.

Xie Duo asked the innkeeper to bring in five charcoal stoves one after another, and surrounded the frozen Xie Xiu in the middle.

"The carving is only five feathers away." Xie Xiu reported the progress of the work.

"I didn't want you to finish carving it."

Xie Xiu was puzzled: "Then why are you angry?"

"I don't want to talk about it anymore."

Xie Xiu seemed to never be able to understand the meaning of honor and dignity, Xie Duo angrily poured the hot medicinal soup into a bowl and handed it to Xie Xiu.

Xie Xiu stretched out his hand to catch the bowl, but his fingers were curled up and could not be stretched.

Xie Duo grabbed his hand and took a closer look, only to find that his knuckles were all cracked from the cold, and the blood had coagulated.

"Bang Dang" sounded crisply.

The medicine bowl was smashed by Xie Duo.

Xie Xiu shrank his neck, stared helplessly at his younger brother who suddenly covered his eyes tightly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?"

Xie Duo suppressed the choking by holding his breath.

Xie Xiu stood up nervously, bending his frozen right hand to smooth his brother's hair. After a long time, he heard his brother making a low voice——

"Fuck your mother..."

Xie Xiu was shocked when he heard this, and dissuaded his younger brother uneasily: "But she is your mother."

From that day on, Xie Duo stopped trying to change Xie Xiu's weird personality.

He admitted it.
