The Fourth Prince, who was rushing to the Third Prince's Mansion, got off the carriage and went straight inside.
"Fourth Prince, His Highness has already gone to the palace."
The guards thought he was looking for the third prince and stopped him from entering.
"I'm not here to look for my brother. You'd better let me in, otherwise I won't be polite to you."
The guards reluctantly stepped aside, and the Fourth Prince glanced at the two of them.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of anything that happens."
The third prince has a good temper. He just took Yang Xin away and he will definitely not hold it against him.
"Fourth Prince, the young lady is locked up in front."
The maid led her to the door of Yang Xin's house and pointed inside.
"The lady is inside."
Yang Xin inside heard the sound and quickly opened the door. When he saw the Fourth Prince, his eyes turned red.
"Yu Hengrui, I know you're a reliable friend."
She is usually carefree, but seeing her crying suddenly, the Fourth Prince felt a little overwhelmed.
"Don't cry, why didn't you tell me before that you lived in the Third Brother's house, so that I could come to play with you more often."
Yang Xin pursed her lips and raised her hand to wipe away her tears. "I was afraid you would think I was the kind of person who was trying to climb up the social ladder, so I didn't dare tell you."
The Fourth Prince sighed, "Xinxin, how could I not know what kind of person you are? Third Prince is really something. Why didn't he take you with him to the palace? He even locked you up."
"Don't blame Brother Chen, it's my fault. I made him angry. Don't blame him."
Seeing that she was so considerate and spoke for the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince stopped talking.
"Come on, I'll take you to the palace."
"Fourth Prince, His Highness has instructed that you cannot take her with you."
The guards looked embarrassed and realized that they had been deceived by Yang Xin.
It was agreed that the maid would go and get a doctor, but ended up calling for reinforcements.
"If there's anything, I'll explain it to my brother. If you delay my entry into the palace, can you afford the blame from my father?"
......
In the carriage.
The Fourth Prince looked at Yang Xin. She seemed to have dressed up carefully today, and was very different from what he usually saw her.
"What is your relationship with the Third Brother?"
Yang Xin blinked, then said frankly: "I like Brother Chen."
As she spoke, she suddenly approached the Fourth Prince and said with a smile, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden? Do you like me?"
The Fourth Prince shifted awkwardly and did not answer the question.
"I'm just curious, didn't you say we were friends? Can't I care about my friends?"
The two of them were talking as they arrived at the palace gate.
The Fourth Prince got off the carriage first, raised his hand and looked at Yang Xin, smiling:
"Good friend, get out of the car!"
Yang Xin raised her hand and placed it on his sleeve, then jumped out of the car.
As he approached the palace gate, Yang Xin was stopped.
She frowned slightly. A lot of time had already been wasted on the journey. If she delayed any further, what would happen if the male and female protagonists really saw her?
Although there is the Fourth Prince as a backup, he is just a cannon fodder and certainly cannot be compared with the male protagonist. Unless she has run out of options, maybe she can still use him.
"This is the person I brought with me. Why can't he go in?"
The guard said calmly, "Fourth Prince, the Emperor has specifically instructed that only you can enter. No one else is allowed."
The Fourth Prince frowned. It was just a banquet, so was his father so wary?
“This is my friend.”
"No one can enter unless they are your family, the Fourth Prince."
The Fourth Prince: “…”
"Just go in, don't worry about me."
Yang Xin pursed her lips, feeling extremely anxious, but still looked understanding.
"Okay, wait here for me. I'll talk to Father later and come pick you up."
After the Fourth Emperor finished speaking, he hurried towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The banquet has already started inside. Everyone is eating while enjoying the dancers' performance. It is very lively.
Yu Yiluo was watching with great interest, but was suddenly disturbed by the appearance of the Fourth Prince in a black brocade robe.
"I was delayed by something, so I'm late. Please forgive me, father."
[Something delayed you. You didn't really bring Yang Xin with you, did you? You're a lickspittle, and you really are. It's a shame they treat you as a friend.]
The Fourth Prince thought he had misheard, frowned, and automatically ignored it.
"If you knew you were late, why didn't you just sit down? Why did you run to the center of the hall and get in the way?"
"Father, my friend is still outside, and I want to..."
Before he could finish his words, the emperor handed Yu Yiluo to Concubine Li, stood up and walked towards him, kicking him without any hesitation.
"On such a lively day, you insist on forcing me to kick you in front of everyone?"
Fearing that the banquet would be disrupted, he had someone explain everything clearly and gave him enough face. However, this troublesome son actually said it in front of so many people.
The dancing girl retreated to the side tremblingly, the music stopped, and the hall suddenly became as quiet as a chicken.
"Fourth brother, you're such a fool! You were late for the tyrant's banquet because of Yang Xin. Don't you know what's more important than what's more important? The tyrant's kick was pretty heavy, but you've been beaten by Concubine Shu a lot, so you should be able to take it pretty well."
The Sixth Princess held her chin with both hands, feeling somewhat sympathetic towards the Fourth Prince.
I don’t know who this Yang Xin is. He is related to the third prince, and now he is involved with the fourth prince.
The Fourth Prince looked at everyone inconspicuously. No one spoke. He thought they were hallucinating.
[Get off right now! Yang Xin is just trying to separate the male and female protagonists. Why are you meddling in this? You've licked her until you died, and you still think you're a loving supporting actor.]
"Sister Shufei, the Fourth Prince has angered the Emperor, and you're not going to plead for him?"
One of the concubines who suffered a loss of silence last time looked at the seated Concubine Shu and spoke in a low voice.
Concubine Shu poured a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp without caring.
"It's his fault that he's late. What's the point of asking for mercy?"
Anyway, the kid is tough, so a kick is no big deal.
"Father, I know I was wrong."
The Fourth Prince knew that angering his father would have serious consequences. Not only would he be beaten by his father, but his mother would definitely not forgive him either.
He just didn't want to disappoint Yang Xin. He knew that she just said she didn't care, but she really wanted to come, so he wanted to be tough and forget about his father and mother's temper.
"If you know you're wrong, get out of here and don't get in the way."
[Hahaha, you droopy, that's not right. Didn't the Fourth Prince just bring Yang Xin and no gift for me?]
The emperor also realized this problem, and his anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.
He called out to the Fourth Prince, "Stop."
This time, the Fourth Prince was sure that the voice belonged to his little sister. He stopped in his tracks when he heard his father calling him.
"Where are the gifts you brought?"
"Father, I have fallen into the carriage and will return to my sister."
Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows slightly. She knew very well whether her son was lying or not.
"Get out of here."
The emperor said, then glanced at the dancers trembling beside him and said, "Keep dancing."
The hall was bustling again in an instant, and the Fourth Prince sat in his seat without saying a word.
Thinking about the words he heard, not only did they say he was not a human being, but they also cursed him to death. Could Xinxin really harm him?
