Chapter 327: I will never sit and wait for death

Xiao Siyuan's breathing stagnated, his hands trembled imperceptibly, and cold sweat began to appear on his temples.

"Father... your son..."

He hesitated and spoke incoherently. The emperor waited for him for a long time, but he was still humming and hesitating.

In this state, he can't compete with the sixth brother, even the fourth brother, let alone compete with him!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The emperor snorted coldly: "Reflect on yourself."

After saying that, he turned away.

Xiao Siyuan didn't dare to raise his head until he heard the door close, then he lost his strength and fell to the ground.

He was panting heavily, his arms were still too weak to lift, and his long hair hung down on his side.

Xiao Siyuan's face was expressionless, his eyes darkened, and he was unfathomable.

It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this!

On the day of the palace banquet, he should have presented the head of the King of Oirat to the emperor under everyone's envious gazes and received everyone's praise!

Instead of being carried into the palace in disgrace and being ridiculed by everyone like now!

He punched the bedside, and the palace maid outside the door heard the sound and asked in confusion: "Your Highness?"

A few breaths later, Xiao Siyuan's voice came from the room: "It's okay, no need to come in."

After Xiao Siyuan finished speaking, he stood up from the ground, took the paper and pen beside him, and began to write a letter.

His eyes were as cold as a venomous snake.

He would never sit and wait for death.

...

At the residence of the Minister of Works.

Because of the Third Assistant Minister's deliberate flattery, Xiao Qingwu's expression softened, and the two of them spent a few days in peace and quiet, and they naturally slept together.

During the days when the Third Assistant Minister did not return home, Xiao Qingwu finally understood what Concubine Duan said, "A woman's world is a different world after she gets married."

The emperor did not allow her to return home, her parents-in-law did not like it, her husband did not like it, and the servants below wanted to climb over her head!

The cold meals delivered to her were all light, and her clothes and bedding were always wet after being washed and delivered.

She made a big fuss, but what effect did it have? With the support of the wife of the Assistant Minister of Works, although she punished a group of people on the surface, it only made her life more difficult.

The teaching nanny brought from the palace tried her best to persuade Xiao Qingwu. Although Xiao Qingwu showed disdain on her face, she was still slightly shaken in her heart.

When she was ready to bow her head, she did not expect that the Third Assistant Minister would bow his head first, and really came to apologize to her as she said.

With the platform, Xiao Qingwu naturally stopped being pretentious, and the things that happened afterwards were also logical.

Since the Third Assistant Minister came every day, Xiao Qingwu's life has also been upgraded, and the Shangshu's wife's attitude towards her has also changed a lot.

Xiao Qingwu recalled what she had experienced in the past few days and sneered.

Now they are just bullying her because she has no backing. She will see what they will do when her brother returns after making military achievements.

By then, she will also follow the example of Xu Youran and divorce her husband!

As she was thinking, a maid ran in hurriedly, drove everyone else out of the room, locked the door, and then leaned over to whisper in Xiao Qingwu's ear: "Princess, it's bad, the Fifth Prince is back!"

Brother is back? Xiao Qingwu's eyes lit up, but the next news made her frown.

"The Fifth Prince was poisoned and carried into the palace. The Wala took the opportunity to attack the city and fought back!"

Xiao Qingwu: "!!!"

Two shocking news came into her ears. Xiao Qingwu was in a trance for a while. Before she could react, she heard the Third Assistant Minister's scolding outside the courtyard: "In broad daylight, what are you doing with the door closed?!"

Since that day when Fu Jing apologized, when has the Third Assistant Minister ever spoken loudly in his own courtyard?

Xiao Qingwu's heart skipped a beat, and she frantically thought about countermeasures.

After a moment, she patted the maid and asked her to open the door. She hurriedly put something under the mattress and sat back on the chair.

The third assistant minister walked in and saw Xiao Qingwu sitting by the window and smiling at him. The pent-up anger in his heart suddenly dissipated.

Everyone is tolerant of beautiful people.

Thinking of the soft jade and warm fragrance last night.

The third assistant minister's tone softened unconsciously: "What are you doing with the door closed? Are you not feeling well?"

Xiao Qingwu shook her head, glanced at the bed with a panicked expression, and said, "No problem."

The third assistant minister took in her expression and felt a little confused. While saying caring words, he moved towards the bed.

The closer he got to the bed, the more nervous Xiao Qingwu became.

What shameful things are on this bed? !

The Third Minister thought about it, his face became a little ugly, and he deliberately said: "Madam, have you heard that your brother is back from the battlefield?"

Xiao Qingwu pretended to be surprised.

The Third Minister stopped by the bed and said, "I heard that he was poisoned, so it's better not to endanger his life."

Xiao Qingwu's eyes were full of worry.

Seeing that she really didn't look like she had known it for a long time, the Third Minister retracted his gaze, and then suddenly raised his hand and lifted the mattress.

Xiao Qingwu couldn't stop it, and his eyes were full of surprise, but in the depths of surprise, there was a smile in his eyes.

Done!

The Third Assistant Minister looked at the things under the mattress, his expression slightly startled, and turned his head slightly to look at Xiao Qingwu: "What is this?"

Under the mattress, there was needlework and a half-embroidered brocade robe.

Xiao Qingwu's face flushed a little: "...Nothing, nothing."

A maid outside the room spoke at the right time: "My Lord, this is the clothes that the princess made for you personally. It has been sewing for five or six days."

Sewn for him?

The Third Assistant Minister was stunned for several seconds, and then looked at Xiao Qingwu in disbelief.

Xiao Qingwu lowered her head as if she was embarrassed by his gaze.

There was a flash of mockery in her eyes.

Idiot.

This is not sewn for him, but for his brother.

But for now, it can be fooled.

The third assistant minister raised his lips, his eyes full of joy.

Xiao Qingwu sewed clothes for him personally, and the princess sewed clothes for herself!

And she was a princess who intended to murder herself on the wedding night!

The indescribable sense of conquest filled the third assistant minister's heart. He picked up the brocade robe and touched it a few times lovingly.

"Why bother so much? There are many embroiderers. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

Knowing that he was talking about some polite words, Xiao Qingwu smiled and said, "What are you worried about? I am willing to do it for you."

The third assistant minister smiled and hugged her in his arms. Seeing this, the maid gently closed the door and retreated.

The third assistant minister pulled her collar down a little and buried his head in her neck.

Xiao Qingwu stepped back slightly and took the opportunity to make a request: "My brother has been poisoned, and as a sister, I have to go visit him. I want to go to the palace tomorrow."

The Third Assistant Minister did not doubt him.

He knew that they had a good relationship, so it was reasonable to make such a request.

"The Fifth Prince will definitely attend the palace banquet tomorrow."

Xiao Qingwu was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly remembered.
