Chapter One Thousand and Two
"Third...Third brother!" The fifth prince was obviously a little afraid of the youth, and stood there with his hands tied, his head drooping, like a child who had made a mistake and was waiting to be lectured. However, today he mustered up the courage to defend himself, "Third brother, I have permission from my father to leave the palace."
"Father is assured that you will go out of the palace alone? Are you not afraid that you will be abducted by a kidnapper?" The corner of the third prince's mouth curled into a sarcastic smile.
The fifth prince thought for a while, and explained seriously: "The kidnapper only kidnaps children, I have grown up, and the kidnapper can't go away!"
"You've grown up? You're really strong, and you eat like a fat pig. It's just a waste of two hundred catties of meat. Here, you're not as good as a child!" The third prince pointed to his head, said with a smirk.
"Third brother, you got into trouble with the emperor and took your anger out on the fifth child. You really are getting better and better!" A young man who looked a bit refined but had a bit of gloomy eyes came to the two of them. In front of him, he sneered at the third prince.
The fifth prince hastily called out "Second brother!" and shrank back to the side like a quail. Growing up, he was often bullied by his brothers. Although his mental development is slow, he is not a fool. He can still tell who is sincere to him and who is hypocritical.
The third brother's bullying was straightforward. The second brother pretended to be a good person to his face, but secretly incited his companion to tease him. He knows all of this! Among the brothers and sisters, except for the prince's brother, none of them really treat him well! !
The second prince obviously didn't intend to let him go. When he saw Gu Ye behind him, he raised his eyebrows, pointed at her with a fan and said, "Fifth brother, who is this little girl? You brought it back from outside the palace." ? Don't blame the second brother for not reminding you, the rules in the palace are not to bring people in from outside casually!"
The fifth prince stammered and said: "Second brother, Xiao Ye'er is a palace maid sent by my concubine to take care of me, not someone from outside!"
"Miss... Go back and tell your concubine mother that this concubine is the prince's favorite!" The second prince's concubine mother is a noble concubine in the palace, with a higher status than Concubine Yin.
A mother is more expensive than a child, and the second prince is currently the one with the most supporters. Ever since he was rejected by King Ning at the border, he has been in a bad mood, and whoever catches him will bite him.
The fifth prince moved nervously, stood in front of Gu Ye, and summoned up his courage: "Second brother, this is a palace maid that the concubine needs to use, and I can't give it to you!"
"A mere court lady, you said that if I ask for it from Concubine Yin, she can still refute my face?" The second prince elongated his face in displeasure, and the light in his eyes became even more gloomy.
"Haha! Second brother, since he came back from the border, even the fifth younger brother dare not listen to you! No wonder many of your supporters have voted for the elder brother and the prince!" Fanning the flames aside.
The second prince glared at the fifth prince fiercely, then looked back at the third prince, and said with a cold smile: "It's as if you were not rejected when you went to the border, third brother! Including the eldest brother, don't laugh at any of us three brothers." The crown prince... is the biggest winner!"
In the heart of the second prince, the eldest prince and the prince were really not in his eyes. How can a child born to a lowly laundry maid without the support of the mother clan compare with him?
For one, he was dying of illness, and he still insisted on going to the peace talks. I'm afraid that he would take most of his life when he came back this time. If you can't get sick this time, you will die. In the end, don't you make wedding clothes for others?
The third prince saw that the second prince looked like "the position of the crown prince is in his pocket", and couldn't help wanting to hit him: "Haven't you heard? Princess Linlang has invited a peerless little doctor to treat the prince's illness. The prince's If the disease is cured, plus the achievement of facilitating the peace talks this time, no one will be able to shake his position!"
The second prince's face changed, and he quickly regained his sense: "That's great! The crown prince is the foundation of the country. Only when the crown prince is well can Sen country be stable and peaceful!!"
From his words, Gu Ye heard a bit of gnashing of teeth.
"However--I heard that Lin Lang was double-assassinated by a secret guard and a killer on the way to Yan Kingdom. If the little genius doctor hadn't rescued her, she would have lost her life. Tell me... who did it? Third brother?" The second prince suddenly changed the subject and asked back.
The third prince looked surprised, and hurriedly said: "Second brother, what do you mean by saying this? Do you suspect that I did it? Do you have evidence? You can't talk nonsense in front of the father!"
"I didn't say you did it, why are you panicking?" The second prince said again, "You may not have done it, don't forget, the family behind you, will they do anything!"
"What do you mean? Just relying on the words of the national teacher, you can climb and bite people randomly? I also said that you and your mother clan did it! In terms of the energy and capital behind it, who is as strong as the Jin family?" ? You and the imperial concubine already have that position in your pocket, right?"
The third prince was not a fuel-efficient lamp either. After a short period of panic, he started to fight back.
Gu Ye watched it with relish—the dog-eat-dog scene, one can never get tired of watching it! However, you two, when you said this in front of the fifth prince, you really didn't take him seriously!
"Third brother, who knows who does it! To put it bluntly, isn't it all for that position? When the crown prince was too sick to get out of bed, the father didn't even think about changing an heir. What's the use?" The second prince made a disheartened look.
The fifth prince suddenly interjected: "Aren't you happy that the little genius doctor came to treat the prince's elder brother?"
The second prince and the third prince, only then did they realize that there are other people here! The second prince's dark eyes swept over Xiao Hongzi and Gu Ye warningly, and saw that they were standing with lowered eyes, as if wishing that he was not there.
He snorted coldly: "Take care of your mouth, what should be said and what should not be said, you should understand, right? It's not uncommon for a lot of eunuchs and maids to die in this palace, isn't it?"
Xiao Hongzi immediately said: "The slave didn't hear anything!"
"The maidservant didn't hear it either!" Gu Ye couldn't help but follow suit.
The second prince had a gloomy smile and gaze like a poisonous snake, patrolling them back and forth. Little Hongzi was in a cold sweat!
The second prince pinched the doughy cheek of the fifth prince, and said, "Happy! The prince has recovered from his illness. As brothers, we are naturally happy. You and I, Brother Sanhuang, are not trying to find out the murderer. Your sister Linlang is the real murderer! Fifth, go back quickly, the concubine Yin will be worried if it is too late!"
The fifth prince wanted to leave a long time ago. Hearing this, he hurriedly took Xiao Hongzi and Gu Ye, and hurried towards the Raoliang Hall.
When the voices of the two princes could not be heard, Gu Ye opened his mouth and said: "Look at you! It's like a thief is chasing after you, running fast!"
