Chapter 78 This King was beaten by the King of Chu!
"Send someone to the Crown Prince's residence to tell him that I was injured today and am afraid I will not be able to enter the palace. I hope the Crown Princess will forgive me."
Xie Xuanyu raised his hand, hesitated several times, and finally slammed it onto the table with his arms crossed!
With a loud "thud," he screamed in agony!
The servants were startled. "Your Highness, are you alright? What are you doing?"
"If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way."
Xie Xuanyu crossed his arms and grinned, saying, "The Crown Princess isn't someone to be easily fooled. If I hadn't been injured, she would have been in serious trouble when she found out!"
He didn't want to offend that woman, Shen Ruoli.
He didn't want to upset her!
Therefore, he actually succeeded in this self-inflicted injury scheme.
"But you don't really need to..."
Before the servant could finish saying "hurt yourself," he stopped talking.
He looked at Xie Xuanyu's arm, hesitating to speak.
Xie Xuanyu was initially wincing in pain, but noticing the strange look in the servant's eyes, he instinctively looked down as well—
"Huh? What's going on?"
His chubby arm was completely unharmed!
"Didn't I just smash it pretty hard? It hurt so much I almost died!"
There wasn't even a single red mark!
"Your Highness, it might be..."
The servant chuckled awkwardly, not daring to say it was because he was too fat.
Xie Xuanyu refused to believe it and slammed his arm down again, screaming in pain once more. But when he lifted his hand, there was only a tiny red mark, not even as bad as a mosquito bite.
"I refuse to believe it!"
Xie Xuanyu pinched himself hard a few times, leaving red marks, but they faded quickly.
Seeing that it was getting late and fearing that Shen Ruoli would send someone to urge him again, Xie Xuanyu had no choice but to think of another way.
Since hitting him won't cause injury, he'll get hurt by falling!
He sat on the ground several times in a row, but he was still perfectly fine!
Seeing Xie Xuanyu jumping around with boundless energy, the servant helplessly advised, "Your Highness, perhaps we should just let it go? The Crown Princess certainly won't actually send anyone to check if you're injured!"
"No, I cannot deceive Li'er."
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get over it!
He would rather be truly injured and unable to see Shen Ruoli than deceive her by lying!
"Then, Your Highness, why don't you try this?"
As he spoke, the servant pulled out a knife from behind his back.
Xie Xuanyu's chubby face turned pale, and he was so frightened that he took two steps back.
He took the knife and tried to swing it at his arm several times, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"No, I'm afraid of pain."
Xie Xuanyu threw down his sword and sighed, "Fine! I'll go to the palace then!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the gatekeeper came in and announced that the King of Chu had arrived.
"Oh? Let him in!"
Xie Xuanyu waved his chubby hand.
A servant quickly tried to stop him, "No, Your Highness! The Prince of Chu is here to cause you trouble! Do you really want to see him? What if the Prince of Chu gets angry..."
"What if he gets angry and beats me up? What a joke! Do you think I'm afraid of him beating me up?"
He's tough and thick-skinned!
Xie Xuanyu snorted coldly, "I was just worried about not finding a way to appease the Crown Princess."
Xie Xuansong came to "help" him!
Besides, so what if Xie Xuansong beats me up a few times?
This is a good opportunity to show Father Emperor just how domineering Xie Xuansong is!
"Go to the palace immediately and tell the Crown Princess that I have to entertain the Prince of Chu and cannot enter the palace. Please understand."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Seeing that they could not persuade Xie Xuanyu, the servants had no choice but to obey and go to the palace.
Soon, Xie Xuansong stormed in, looking furious.
Upon entering, I saw Xie Xuanyu sitting at the table, devouring a roast chicken.
He ate with relish, oil dripping down his cheeks. The sight of his greasy face made Xie Xuansong feel nauseous, and he stopped at the doorway.
"Hey, big brother's here!"
Xie Xuanyu glanced up at him, then continued tearing at the roast chicken in his hand. "Has elder brother had dinner yet? If not, I am currently..."
"Just eat yours!"
Xie Xuansong gritted his teeth, "I find it disgusting!"
Xie Xuanyu scoffed, "I treated you to roast chicken, why aren't you happy? If you don't want it, fine, I'll eat it!"
He ate while sucking the oil off his fingers.
That action made Xie Xuansong's stomach churn!
"What time is it? You still have the appetite to eat!"
He roared at Xie Xuanyu, "Second brother, I've underestimated you all these years!"
Xie Xuanyu knew he was there to cause trouble.
He remained unfazed. "Brother, what do you mean? With my size, how can you possibly underestimate me?"
Xie Xuansong: "...Stop playing dumb with me! Xie Xuanyu, you're really good at pretending! I actually thought you really had no interest in power or that position!"
"What, seeing me in trouble, you can't wait to jump out and kick me when I'm down?"
"I really don't understand what you mean, brother."
Xie Xuanyu sucked on his finger again.
Xie Xuansong felt a chill.
"Don't inhale!"
He gritted his teeth, "Don't force me to beat you up!"
"oh!"
Xie Xuanyu responded and then sucked on his fingers again.
Xie Xuansong: "..."
That brat is deliberately going against me!
"You good-for-nothing second brother, it seems that all those questions that I couldn't understand before now have answers!"
He was secretly sabotaged countless times, and he originally thought it was all Xie Xuanyin's doing.
But it seems that's not the case right now!
"You really think that just because you've climbed up to the Crown Prince, you can rest easy? That you can go against me? Don't forget, that position can only ever belong to one person! You're nothing but a dog by the Crown Prince's side!"
That was a really harsh statement!
Not to mention that they are brothers, and even royal princes!
Xie Xuansong's insults towards his own brother are truly vulgar and disgusting!
Anyone else would have already turned hostile.
But Xie Xuanyu was still all smiles.
He put down the roast chicken, which had been eaten down to its skeleton, and then slowly stood up. "Brother, we are both sons of the Emperor. If I am a dog, then what are you? And what is the Emperor?"
"How dare you call my father a dog?"
"you……"
Unexpectedly, Xie Xuanyu, who usually seemed to be not good at speaking, managed to leave him speechless with just one sentence today!
Xie Xuansong stared at him in disbelief, unable to come up with a retort for a long time!
"When did I become the Crown Prince's dog? Even if I did, what about you? You can't even handle a dog, so what are you?"
Xie Xuanyu asked a servant standing nearby, "What's this called?"
The servant, quick to speak, hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, it's worse than a dog!"
The words had barely left his mouth when the servant, fearing Xie Xuansong's anger, covered his mouth and hid to the side.
"you!!"
Enraged, Xie Xuansong kicked the servant.
As luck would have it, Xie Xuanyu stepped forward to block the way, and was immediately kicked to the ground by Xie Xuansong!
He rolled on the ground and lay there, refusing to get up.
He clutched his backside, shouting, "Brother, don't hit me! Let's talk this out! Oh no! I'm injured! Someone! Summon the imperial physician! I've been beaten by the King of Chu!"
