When Gu Xinian heard such a question, he didn't even move his eyebrows and responded calmly: "At this time, you still ask such a question. Don't you think it's too boring and ridiculous?"
Boring and ridiculous?
The third prince's voice became colder and colder: "Last year, my father suddenly got angry and grounded me for half a year. This must be your handiwork!" On the surface, he was fighting with the prince, but he knew very well that he was secretly making suggestions for the prince.
The person has always been Gu Xinian. His real opponent is also Gu Xinian!
Gu Xinian did not deny it: "Yes. This was a trap set up by General Shen and I. You were too arrogant and confident and rushed in." As a result, he aroused the emperor's suspicion and anger. He was also banned for half a year.
Right and left. That is to say, after this time, the third prince gradually lost his Sacred Heart. After that, he lost opportunities everywhere...
Although the third prince had already guessed this fact, at the moment Gu Xinian admitted it frankly, boundless anger suddenly surged into his heart, and his face was gloomy and twisted. After a long time, he asked again: "What about the rumors this time? That's the case.
You are secretly fanning the flames and adding fuel to the flames!"
"You guessed wrong this time. The person who really ordered others to fan the flames and add fuel to the flames was the prince himself."
...The third prince was speechless. He never expected that the prince, who had always been soft-spoken, could be so decisive and ruthless.
Seeing the ugly face of the third prince, Gu Xinian felt very happy: "It's you who dug your own grave with bad intentions. How can you blame others?" If the third prince hadn't instigated people to secretly spread the rumors, the prince would have been unable to do anything.
Let’s start!
The eyes of the third prince shot out with anger, and the resentment that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly came out: "Gu Xinian. I ask myself that I have never felt sorry for you in any way, and I even tried my best to show my kindness to you, hoping that you would be on my side. But you are not only
Instead of helping me, you sided with the prince and made suggestions for him to deal with me. Why on earth did you do this? Yes, he is your cousin, but what did he do to you? You must have forgotten everything
Bar!"
Without waiting for Gu Xinian's reaction, the third prince continued talking to himself: "Without you, he would not be my opponent at all. You know as well as I do what his temper is like. His talent is mediocre and his heart is soft.
He looked forward and backward, and his methods were not ruthless enough, and he couldn't even eradicate the roots. How could such a person be able to become the prince? I am really dissatisfied with losing in the hands of such a person! I really can't understand it. I have a high heart.
Why would you help such a person if you are so arrogant?"
The third prince's face was slightly distorted, and all the unwillingness appeared in his eyes.
Gu Xinian looked at him steadily, smiled suddenly, and responded slowly: "No reason. I just want to see your frustrated look."
Third Prince: "..."
The third prince took a deep breath and said, "It's now here, and you still refuse to tell me the truth?"
Why should I tell you? Let you leave the capital with full of doubts. You will never know the answer!
Gu Xinian smiled casually: "What I said is true. If you really don't believe it, I can't help it. If you have anything else to ask, ask it quickly, otherwise it will delay your departure and spread it to the emperor and the emperor.
It’s not good for the Queen’s ears.”
"You..." The third prince's temples were beating wildly, and the veins on his forehead were exposed, looking very ferocious.
Gu Xinian was not afraid at all. Instead, he explained with "good intentions": "Since there is no problem, forget it. The two of us have been out for so long. If we don't go back, I'm afraid everyone will become suspicious. Let's go back!"
Gu Xinian's attitude was so obvious that the third prince naturally knew that he would never ask another word from Gu Xinian today. He swallowed the resentment with great reluctance, snorted softly, and walked away first.
Gu Xinian took a deep look at the stiff back of the third prince, and then slowly raised the corners of his lips.
…
When the third prince reappeared in front of everyone, he had wiped away all the negative emotions. He had already suffered a complete defeat and would never lose the last bit of dignity again. This was his pride!
The prince's searching gaze fell firmly on the third prince's face, but unfortunately there was no emotion on his face. As for Gu Xinian, who came in later, he was even more calm and calm. What did the two of them just do?
What was said?
Seemingly sensing the prince's doubts, Gu Xinian winked at him quickly. If anything happens, we'll discuss it in private later.
The prince had no choice but to suppress all doubts for the time being.
There was a trace of sadness on Luo Shi's face that could not be concealed. He forced himself to smile and whispered: "Your Highness, the time is almost up. It's time for us to set off."
The third prince hummed and strode up to Zheng Yun: "Uncle, as soon as I leave today, my mother-in-law will ask you to take more care of me."
After leaving, the one he was most worried about was Concubine Zheng in the palace. She had no son to support her in the capital, she had lost her favor, and the ruthless Empress Gu was watching her. Even though he had obtained the promise of the emperor and the empress, his
My heart is still heavy.
Zheng Yun felt indescribably sour and gloomy in his heart, so he squeezed out a smile and comforted her: "You can go in peace! I will visit the imperial concubine in the palace as often as possible."
The third prince twitched the corners of his lips, his expression stiffened, and he could no longer squeeze out a smile.
The prince walked up to the third prince and said: "Third prince brother, don't worry! I will take good care of the imperial concubine for you."
The third prince looked at the prince indifferently, with ridicule in his eyes. It would be too hypocritical to say such words at this time! This is what he dislikes most about the prince. Those who have achieved great things must not be soft when they should be ruthless.
The prince is born with a soft ear and a strong sense of emotion. How can such a person deserve to ascend the throne?
But it happened to be this person who made him experience an unprecedented setback in his life! Gu Xinian clearly had a grudge against the prince for love, so why did he still help the prince? Could it be that this is the destiny of the so-called true dragon emperor?
Thinking of this, the third prince felt like vomiting blood.
But in front of the prince, the third prince refused to show any weakness at all, and forced out a smile: "Then I have to thank my brother for your trouble. Even if I am thousands of miles away, I will always remember my brother's affection."
.”
Despite all this, he is still very stubborn.
The prince had the demeanor of a winner and smiled nonchalantly.
So what if he remembers it well? According to court rules, a prince who has resigned from a feudal clan cannot return to the capital without an imperial decree. Judging from his father's physical condition, he will definitely pass the throne to himself within two years.
At that time, as long as he didn't want to see the third prince, the third prince wouldn't even have a chance to return to the capital.
…
On the other side, the Luo sisters were also reluctant to say goodbye. When Luo Shi thought about being far away from the capital and not even being able to see her parents and relatives, she couldn't help but feel sad and shed a few tears. Luo Miaoke also had red eyes and lowered her head.
He comforted her and said: "Sister, feel free to leave the capital with His Highness. I will go back to visit my father and mother from time to time."
Luo Shi wiped her tears with a handkerchief and forced a smile: "I'll be more tired of you in the future." After a pause, he looked at Cui Yu again: "My sister is good at everything, but she is arrogant and stubborn. My brother-in-law needs more.
Take care of me." After Luo Miaoke and Cui Yu got married, their relationship was tepid and they could be regarded as respectful to each other. However, they were far from loving each other.
Cui Yu hurriedly agreed.
Luo Miao could see that Luo Shi was still thinking about herself and Cui Yu at this time, tears fell down, and she choked and said: "Sister, I will never be willful again in the future, and I will definitely live a good life with my husband, so please don't
I feel so sorry for you..."
The two sisters shed tears at each other, which was really sad to watch.
Ye Qinglan and the Luo sisters were not familiar with each other, let alone have any good feelings. But looking at such a scene, I felt a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, the servants in the palace hurried over and reported: "Your Highness, the third prince, the noble concubine in the palace has sent someone to see you off."
The person who came was the female official who was employed by Concubine Zheng, and she respectfully saluted the third prince: "The Concubine is ill and cannot leave the palace, so she specially ordered her servants to come and see Her Highness off. The Concubine also asked her servants to bring a few messages to His Highness.
The empress said that the journey is long, so please take good care of your health. After arriving at the feudal territory, please send a letter back to the capital to report that you are safe. The empress will be in the palace, praying for your highness day and night."
A loving mother's heart is clearly revealed in these exhortations.
The third prince felt a sore nose, and the sad face of Concubine Zheng seemed to appear in front of his eyes. His heart felt like being pricked by a needle. Although the pain was not severe, it lasted for a long time.
Mother, your son is unfilial. From today on, he can no longer serve you at any time. Please take care of yourself. Even if it is for me, you must live a safe and healthy life!
…
Finally it's time to set off.
All the clothes and luggage had been packed, and there were ten carriages put on them. The third prince led a group of wives, concubines, and children, plus the servants who left the capital with him, and took five more carriages.
More than a dozen carriages slowly left the Third Prince's Mansion and then disappeared before everyone's eyes.
The crowd led the third prince and his entourage to the official road outside the imperial city.
This hour's journey was enough for the third prince to put away all his emotions, and what appeared in front of everyone was still the calm and composed third prince. He even smiled and said goodbye: "Thank you for seeing me off all the way, for this affection, I
Zhao Zhang will never forget it! It’s a long way here, so you should all go back!”
Everyone's mood was extremely complicated, but everything that needed to be said had been said, and there was really no need to be pretentious. So they said goodbye one by one and returned to the capital.
The third prince watched everyone leave one by one, maintaining a decent smile from beginning to end. It wasn't until all the people seeing him off had left that he turned around and got on the carriage, shouting loudly: "Let's set off!"
The coachman responded and raised his whip.
The third prince closed his eyes in the carriage, and a drop of tear quickly fell down, dripped into the lapel of his clothes, and soon disappeared. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
