Chapter 257 What a pity

Xiao Lingyu: “!!!”

He suppressed his surprise and looked around, but he didn’t find any trace of Jiang Zhiyu.

He opened the window, but he didn’t see anyone outside.

???

Was it hallucination?

Xiao Lingyu pinched his eyebrows and just closed the window, and heard another sentence:

[Why open the window? Keep going! ]

It’s not hallucination!

But he saw Jiang Zhiyu and the Xu family walk away with his own eyes. Could it be that her voice can be transmitted thousands of miles away?

But it shouldn’t be. Since her voice mentioned that she opened the window, it means that she can see her movements.

It should be hidden somewhere.

Xiao Lingyu looked around subtly, until Xiao Qingwu couldn't stand the suffocating silence anymore, and called out "Brother Crown Prince" with tears, Xiao Lingyu came back to her senses.

Xiao Qingwu looked at him nervously.

In her opinion, Xiao Lingyu opened the window to check whether the maids and servants she had sent away had returned. The Third Assistant Minister had the same idea as her. The

Third Assistant Minister's face was terribly gloomy. He was so angry before, but now he calmed down and thought that it was not honorable for the bride to stab the groom on the wedding day, and it must not be spread out.

Xiao Lingyu saw his expression and knew that he had come to his senses. Then he said, "It was just a misunderstanding. You two are husband and wife from now on. You are one body. You can do whatever you want at home, but once you go out, you have to pretend to be in love with me."

His tone was as light as a feather, but it weighed heavily on Xiao Qingwu and the Third Assistant Minister.

Xiao Qingwu also knew that she was acting rashly and did not dare to contradict Xiao Lingyu, but she was still unwilling in her heart.

How could the person in front of her compare to her brother? ! Why

did my father want to promise me to such a person?

Moreover, the doting for more than ten years turned into nothing in just a moment?

Thinking of the humiliation she suffered in Yilan Palace, Xiao Qingwu bit her lip tightly.

When her brother comes back, she will make sure those people die without a burial place!

And that Jiang Zhiyu, since she appeared, the emperor's favor towards her has obviously decreased a lot. As expected of the sister of that bitch Jiang Sulan, she is really good at seducing men. The mother has mentioned more than once that the emperor intends to take Jiang Zhiyu into the harem.

Xiao Lingyu didn't know what Xiao Qingwu was thinking. Seeing the cruelty flashing in her eyes, she frowned and said, "Since you are married and become a woman, you should control your reckless temper. You are not a child anymore. You need to think twice before doing anything."

Think twice before acting...

I don't know what Xiao Qingwu thought of, her eyes lit up slightly, and she answered happily.

[That's it? ]

Xiao Lingyu: "..."

What else do you want to see, so that everyone in the city knows about it?

The next things were much easier to handle. The Third Assistant Minister's wounds were obviously caused by a sharp weapon, so it was not convenient to ask the court doctor to treat him. Xiao Lingyu personally took care of his wounds, and then supervised the two of them to clean up the bridal chamber. After some knocks, he pushed the door open and walked out.

Jiang Zhiyu walked with him, but one was in the dark and the other in the light.

The night was nice tonight, and the distance to the East Palace was not too far. Xiao Lingyu did not take a carriage, nor did he bring his guards.

He wanted to walk alone.

[What a good brother, what a pity...]

[Xiao Qingwu's identity and her character, ah, what a pity...]

[Such a good person, how could she end up like that in the end, ah, what a pity...]

Xiao Lingyu: "..."

Can't you just say the whole sentence?

As if he had heard his complaints, Jiang Zhiyu added the plot:

[Since childhood, he was secretly replaced by the emperor as a puppet prince, shielding the real prince from the sword. He was also constantly instilled with the idea that the throne did not belong to him and that he should take good care of his younger brothers and sisters.]

[The queen did not know his identity and was a control freak. She strived for perfection in everything. Since he was old enough to understand, his daily schedule was fully arranged. However, the little kid, who was only five or six years old, had to get up at three o'clock to review his lessons and then greet the emperor at six o'clock to be questioned by the emperor. If he could not answer a question, even if the emperor did not punish him, he would be beaten by the queen when he returned to the palace. 】

【At eight o'clock, he started to study, sitting upright, following the rules of etiquette, and not losing the royal style in every move. He studied until eleven o'clock for dinner, and continued to recite after dinner. After that, he rode and shot. After class, the emperor would check again in the evening. 】

【What a poor man. 】

Xiao Lingyu: "..."

His daily routine was never a secret in the palace. When he was young, he saw pity in other people's eyes.

When he was young, the emperor told him his identity, but he didn't understand. He only knew that as long as he recited well and answered the emperor's questions fluently, his mother would smile for the first time in a long time and praise him.

For the sake of praise, Xiao Lingyu studied all night more than once, until he fainted in school. After the imperial physician diagnosed him and the emperor and the empress drank him, Xiao Lingyu stopped this behavior.

At that time, Xiao Lingyu thought that the emperor was concerned about his health, until he grew up and realized that he was just a tool to block the knife. The harder he studied, the more the emperor would suspect that he had ulterior motives.

So after he grew up, he just picked simple answers to the emperor's questions, but this inevitably angered the empress. Except for the palace banquet, he had not seen the empress for a long time.

The hazy night was looming under the dark night sky. Xiao Lingyu stopped and looked at the moonlight reflected on the white snow, his eyes full of memories.

[It's just a pity that even if he has no ambition to be the emperor, he is still a thorn in everyone's side because of his position as the crown prince.]

[Xiao Qingwu is one of them. As a princess, she has received a lot of favors from Xiao Lingyu over the years. Although she is hanging out with Xiao Siyuan, every time something goes wrong, she thinks of asking Xiao Lingyu for help.]

Xiao Lingyu: "???!!!"

What?

Just a short sentence, and his CPU is almost burned.

What does it mean to be a princess? A princess is a princess. Is there still such a thing? Moreover, hanging out with Xiao Siyuan, isn't Xiao Siyuan her brother? The word hanging out...

Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but gasp, could it be referring to... incest between brother and sister?

The mere thought of this word made him feel shocking. He came back to his senses from the shock, and after sorting out the events, he understood. No wonder

the emperor was so anxious to arrange a marriage for her, without building a princess's mansion, without considering the family background of the prince consort, and without considering an auspicious time, and he didn't even see her off on the wedding day.

The emperor should have learned about Xiao Qingwu's true identity from Jiang Zhiyu's heart, after all, he had raised her for more than ten years.

Being able to save her life and arrange a marriage for her is already a great blessing.

In comparison, Concubine Duan might not be so lucky.

Xiao Lingyu's eyes were deep, and Jiang Zhiyu continued:
