Reborn as the Doted Child Bride of the Deposed Crown Prince

He Xue, a modern woman with a keen interest in Qing Dynasty history, felt regret over the fate of the deposed Crown Prince, believing he didn't deserve such an end. If given the chance, she was...

Chapter 394 The First Prince's Thoughts

“I noticed it when you went to Ganlu Temple and approached Ulanara Rouze.”

I will not allow anyone to ruin my wedding with Xue, especially you.

Do you really think your plan is foolproof?

You replaced everyone around the bridal sedan chair with your people, and you must have found those children who blocked my way! They're just a bunch of kids. Even if they knew my identity, they wouldn't know how to address He Xue, but they got it right. Don't you think there's something wrong with that?

Moreover, after these children left, more and more people gathered around, and you just wanted to take the opportunity to take He Xue away!

After the wedding ceremony, you made an excuse to leave, but arranged for someone to toast me. Wasn't that just to delay me?

Since you wish to marry me at the same time, then I will grant your wish! You can replace the people surrounding the wedding sedan chair with yours, and I can replace them with my own!

I am the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty, and I have more people under my command than you. The little power you hold is insignificant in my eyes. Since you want to play, I'll play along. After all, you are my younger brother!

When I first learned that you were having an affair with Ulanara Rouze, I originally wanted Ulanara Rouze to impersonate He Xue, but she actually tried to negotiate with me!

I originally intended to pair you two up, but Ulanara Rouze is ungrateful. But don't worry, I will definitely send Ulanara Rouze to your residence. You two are such a perfect match!

"So you knew all along? And you still let things go according to my plan, just to see me make a fool of myself?" the Eighth Prince asked angrily.

"That's right!" the crown prince said smugly, "I'll let you experience the great sorrow that follows great joy!"

"What's wrong with her?" the Eighth Prince asked, pointing at Xu Yan.

"While I was chasing down the White Lotus Sect, I unexpectedly obtained a book on disguise techniques, and I never thought it would come in handy today!"

"Eighth Prince, you should be glad I didn't find a man to disguise you as He Xue!" the First Prince said with some regret.

The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince both looked at the First Prince at the same time, "We never expected our eldest brother to have such a hobby! We must never provoke him in the future!"

"Second Prince, I have an idea. What if I found someone to disguise themselves as a beautiful woman and assassinate Galdan? Wouldn't that make it easy to take down the Dzungars?" The First Prince suddenly had a whimsical idea.

"Brother, you can give it a try!" the Crown Prince said.

"I'll discuss this with Father Emperor later!" the eldest prince said solemnly, nodding.

The Eighth Prince chuckled self-deprecatingly. He had been too arrogant, thinking he had everything under control. No wonder that woman wouldn't let him touch behind her ears!

“Eighth Brother, He Xue is innocent. No matter what happened, you shouldn’t have dragged He Xue into this!” the Fourth Prince said to the Eighth Prince.

“I like He Xue and want to keep her by my side, what’s wrong with that! You say I shouldn’t involve He Xue! Then why don’t you ask your good second brother, who knew my plan, why he didn’t stop me and let things develop! Won’t his actions also involve He Xue?” The Eighth Prince pointed at the Crown Prince.

"The person I married was He Xue, the person I bowed to in the wedding ceremony was He Xue, the person I entered the bridal chamber with was He Xue. How have I implicated He Xue?" the Crown Prince retorted.

"Old Eight, you're a grown man, don't try to shift the blame onto others. A mistake is a mistake."

"If you can readily admit your mistake, I'll still consider you my brother!" the eldest prince said.

“You acknowledge me as your brother? Do you even consider me your brother? Your mothers all came from better backgrounds than mine. I suffered countless scornful looks when I was young, did you ever care about me?”

Xue stayed by my side, cared for me, and looked after me. She never looked down on me!

The Eighth Prince looked at the Fourth Prince and said, "Fourth Prince, your mother's background wasn't much better than mine. Why were you allowed to be raised by the Imperial Noble Consort? Why were you able to alter the imperial genealogy?"

"So you're saying that being raised by my mother was an insult to you? He Xue helped you so much, yet you still treat her like this. You're such an ingrate!" If it weren't for the Third Prince stopping him, the First Prince would have already rushed up and beaten the Eighth Prince.

"Third brother, let me go! I'll beat him to a pulp today!" the eldest prince said.

"Big brother, no! Second brother just said that we can't see blood today. Finding teeth on the ground will definitely result in bloodshed!" The third prince hugged the eldest prince's waist and sat on the ground, refusing to let go. If he hadn't been sitting on the ground, he really wouldn't have been able to stop the eldest prince.

The eldest prince turned to the crown prince and asked, "Second prince, what do you suggest we do?"
