Chapter 438 Sad

In Qingge Palace, Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan were taking a nap when they suddenly heard voices outside.

It sounded like someone was saying something in a low voice.

Xiao Xixi was in a deep sleep and was not affected by the noise outside at all, but Luo Qinghan was not a good example. He was very alert and a light sleeper, so he was immediately woken up by the noise outside.

He sat up, put on his clothes and walked out.

At this time, the noise outside became louder and louder.

"Prince, come out!"

As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was Luo Yechen.

Luo Qinghan walked out of the bedroom and saw Luo Yechen who was about to break in.

At this time, Luo Yechen was being pulled by two eunuchs, and Eunuch Chang was still whispering to him, asking him not to disturb the prince's rest.

Seeing the prince coming out, Eunuch Chang was startled and quickly bowed: "It was my fault that I failed to stop the King of England and disturbed His Royal Highness the prince's rest. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Luo Qinghan waved his hand, signaling them to move aside.

As soon as the two young eunuchs let go, Luo Yechen rushed up, grabbed Luo Qinghan by the collar and questioned him angrily.

"You already have so many women, why are you trying to snatch Xie Chuxue from me?!"

Eunuch Chang and others were shocked by King Ying's action. They wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but they saw the prince raised his hand first and grabbed Luo Yechen's wrist.

I didn't see how hard the prince used, but I saw Luo Yechen suddenly screaming in pain!

Luo Yechen was forced to let go.

He covered his right wrist, his face turning pale due to the severe pain.

Luo Qinghan straightened his messed-up collar and asked slowly, "Who said I want to snatch Xie Chuxue from you?"

Luo Yechen endured the pain, glared at the other party fiercely and said angrily.

"Do I need to be told this? The Queen Mother has already started to match you up, how can you still keep this a secret?!"

Luo Qinghan: "The Queen Mother did intend to bring me and Xie Chuxue together, but I have already rejected it."

Luo Yechen was stunned for a moment, then became even more annoyed.

"Xie Chuxue is such a good woman, why do you reject her?!"

This was really too unreasonable. If it were the Luo Qinghan of the past, he would definitely not bother to say a word of rebuttal.

But now Luo Qinghan can lie without changing his expression.

"Because I know you like Xie Chuxue."

Luo Yechen was stunned.

He never expected that the prince would say such a thing.

The raging anger was like encountering a heavy snowfall, and the flames were instantly suppressed by more than half.

He stammered, "You, you refused to marry Xie Chuxue because of me?"

Luo Qinghan said calmly: "You are my brother. Since I already know that you like Xie Chuxue, how can I marry her? No matter how beautiful she is, she is just an outsider. How can she compare to the brotherly love between you and me?"

Having said that, he laughed at himself, with a somewhat hurt look on his face.

"But judging from your behavior, it seems that I am being too sentimental. You would rather trust an outsider than trust me."

The anger in Luo Yechen's heart had been completely suppressed.

He wanted to defend himself but didn't know where to start and seemed at a loss.

Luo Qinghan: "If you really like Xie Chuxue, go ask the emperor for permission to marry you. As long as the emperor agrees to your marriage, no one will be able to snatch Xie Chuxue away from you in the future."

Having said this, he turned away.

"You trespassed into the East Palace without permission, and you should have been punished, but considering that you were impulsive, I will not bother with you. You can go now."

Without waiting for Luo Yechen to speak, Luo Qinghan walked out directly.

Luo Yechen stood there blankly, looking at the direction his brother left, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Eunuch Chang sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty, you have made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sad."

Luo Yechen already started to regret it.

He shouldn't have rushed over and vented his anger on the prince without asking any questions.

But he was too proud to admit that he regretted it and pretended to be calm.

"What does it have to do with me? I just said a few words to him casually. Why is he like this? You are not a little girl who can be hurt so easily."

Eunuch Chang: "Because I care, I am more likely to be hurt."

Luo Yechen was speechless.

Eunuch Chang: "I will escort you out."

He turned sideways and gestured for invitation.

Luo Yechen took another look at the room the prince had left and was sure that the prince had no intention of coming back to see him again. He could only leave Qingge Palace in disappointment like a defeated rooster.

In the afternoon, Luo Qinghan called Xiao Lingfeng into Minguang Palace.

"I asked you to keep an eye on King Xiling. Is there anything unusual?"

Xiao Lingfeng answered truthfully: "Your Highness, apart from going to the palace, Prince Xiling has been visiting the theater recently. This morning he also went to Prince Ying's mansion. I heard that he did it to vent his anger for his daughter."

Then he told the rumors about Xie Chuxue.

Luo Qinghan: "After the King of Xiling went to see the King of England, what was the King's reaction?"

Xiao Lingfeng: "The King of England hurried into the palace, as if he had something important to attend to."

Luo Qinghan understood.

It seems that King Ying's sudden madness is closely related to King Xiling and Xie Chuxue.

This was obviously intended to sow discord between him and the King of England.

But they had never been on good terms, and many people knew about it. Why would King Xiling go to such lengths?

Luo Qinghan: "Does Prince Xiling often go to the theater?"

Xiao Lingfeng: "Yes, the King of Xiling likes to listen to opera very much. This time when he came to Beijing, he specially brought a troupe from Xiling County. He often invites people to his home to listen to opera, and he also goes to the theater outside to sit for a while. The theater he goes to most often is Qiaoyin Garden. I have checked Qiaoyin Garden and there is nothing unusual."

Luo Qinghan: "Where's Xie Chuxue? What's going on with her?"

Xiao Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the prince to ask about Xie Chuxue.

"Ms. Xie stays at home most of the time. Occasionally, she goes out with her maid. I don't know where she goes."

Luo Qinghan: "Keep an eye on her, find out where she goes every time and who she meets?"

“Here!”

Xiao Lingfeng was worried when he left Minguang Palace.

He heard that the Queen Mother intended to bring the Crown Prince and Xie Chuxue together.

Originally, he didn't take it seriously. After all, the prince had a reputation for being a wife-killer and was not allowed to marry a wife within three years.

But judging by how much the prince cares about Xie Chuxue, could it be that the prince is attracted to Xie Chuxue?

If this is true, Concubine Xiao will have another strong rival for favor.

The more Xiao Lingfeng thought about it, the more worried he became.

Eunuch Chang: "I will take you here, please take care."

Xiao Lingfeng couldn't help but ask, "How are the Crown Prince and Concubine Xiao doing recently?"

Eunuch Chang: "Very good."

Xiao Lingfeng: "Then what does the prince think of Xie Chuxue..."

He didn't finish his words, but Eunuch Chang already understood what he meant.

Eunuch Chang smiled and said, "This is the prince's private matter. I am just a servant and I know nothing."
