Chu Youheng raised the corners of his lips slightly, his eyes like a venomous snake, "Sister-in-law, do you think Prince Mu's Mansion is still as glorious as before? Now it's not easy for people in it to have enough food and clothing. I keep you here, give you food and clothes, and send people to serve you. Am I not good enough to you?"

This woman is Yaruo.

Her body was covered with whip marks, except for her face. Chu Youheng gave her a good lesson before going to Prince Su's Mansion.

They can indeed have enough food and warm clothes, but only after being whipped.

"Even if I become a ghost, I will not forgive you!" Yaruo said, and then cried out in pain.

Chu Youheng's eyes were cold, "You must save the child! As for her, it all depends on her own luck!"

Having said that, he turned and walked out.

When he came out of the bedroom, Chu Youheng was as usual, with a restrained aura, turning into the prince who had no sense of existence at all. He cleaned his face, changed his clothes, and then took a carriage to the palace.

Recently, Chu Yan was very distressed about his two sons, so he was ill. Chu Youheng went to help him take medicine every day. Today was no exception.

In the imperial study, Chu Yan coughed from time to time. Chu Youheng took the medicine handed over by Wang Zhuo and respectfully brought it to Chu Yan. But today he was different from the past. He did not remain silent, but whispered to Chu Yan: "Does the emperor know that my third brother has woken up?"

"Yes, the Su Palace has sent someone to report it." Chu Yan answered while drinking medicine. He was in a better mood today, and he liked Chu Youheng a lot better.

A few days ago, Chu Younan was in a coma, Chu Youchen was deposed, Chu Youheng was dull, and Chu Youyang was naughty. No matter which of the two became the emperor, he would not be satisfied. This made him very distressed.

Chu Youheng also clearly sensed his mood, and took the opportunity to say, "I saw that my father was not in a very happy mood a while ago, so I didn't dare to mention it. I secretly went to see my brother..."

Before he could finish his words, Chu Yan suddenly turned towards him and looked at him angrily.

Chu Youheng knelt down hurriedly, and said with great fear: "Father, please forgive me! I really miss my brother, and I have been thinking about whether he is doing well. Who knew that when I went there, I saw that my brother was ill. Although the concubines tried their best to take care of him, due to the lack of food and medicine, my brother's illness has been dragging on and is getting worse and worse..."

"Oh?" Chu Yan's face showed some anxiety, "What happened to him?"

"It was just a common cold at first, but my royal brother has been regretting and blaming himself, unable to sleep at night. In addition, he lacked food and medicine. When I went there last time, he had already fallen ill..." Chu Youheng bowed his head and said.

Chu Yan's expression became serious. After all, he was his son, the eldest son who had high hopes for him. He still missed him. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "Send some medicine on my behalf, and tell them that Chen'er is my son after all. Even if he is abandoned as a commoner, he must have food and clothing!"

Chu Youheng showed a delighted expression, "I, your son, thank you, Father, on behalf of my brother!"

After he left, Chu Yan fell into deep thought. Although Chu Younan had woken up, he was seriously injured and his face was covered with scars. If he couldn't get better, there was naturally no possibility for him to ascend the throne.

Now it seems that although Chu Youheng is dull, he values ​​brotherhood and is not completely useless.

After leaving the palace, Chu Youheng went to Prince Mu's Mansion with medicine and food.

Chu Youchen was indeed sick. He suddenly went from being the eldest son of a high and mighty family to a commoner who was even worse than the common people. In addition, his wife was missing, and the concubines treated him less well than before. He was naturally depressed.

The only two things that made him feel slightly relieved were that Chu Youheng risked his life to visit him, and that Mo Qinglian, who was divorced by him and left to work as a maid in the mansion, actually stayed with him and continued to serve him closely.

Chu Youheng brought the emperor's reward, which rekindled Chu Youchen's hope.

"My father still cares about my brother. He specially ordered me to bring some medicinal herbs and food. He also said that my brother is his son and asked me to take good care of him. My brother must take good care of his health!" Chu Youheng smiled warmly with an honest look on his face.

Chu Youheng smiled for the first time in a long time, "You are still the best to me!"

Chu Youheng smiled helplessly, "In fact, among all the brothers, I still respect my brother the most. After all, you are the eldest son. Besides, my brother is the most kind-hearted among all the brothers. If they ascend the throne in the future, I am afraid that I will have a hard time."

Chu Youchen's smile suddenly disappeared, and he frowned and said, "What do you mean by that? Is the third brother getting better?"

"I can't say he's better, he just woke up. But when I saw him at that time, his face was ruined. Which emperor would have a face full of scars?" Chu Youheng smiled gently.

Chu Youchen was such a sensitive person that he immediately realized that there was something behind Chu Youheng's words, and asked again: "So, Father is now placing all his hopes on the fourth child?"

Chu Youheng clenched his fists in his sleeves. He knew that unless these three people were dead, no one would see him. But he didn't show it on his face, but smiled honestly, "Although the fourth child is naughty, he is smart. In fact, the emperor has always indulged him, which shows that he is very important in the eyes of the emperor."

After saying that, he added: "He actually knows it himself, otherwise how could he be so confident..."

Chu Youchen's eyes suddenly widened. When Chu Younan got into trouble, everyone thought it was him, but he knew it very well!

He didn't do anything at all!

And how could this mild-mannered and honest maid have the courage and ability to do such a big thing! Just say why this matter is so confusing! It turned out to be Chu Youyang!

He gritted his teeth angrily.

Chu Youheng took in his expression, and then his face became serious. "I'm afraid my brother is thinking the same thing as me. He is so vicious now. He has killed two birds with one stone and ruined the future of both of you. If he does this in the future..."

He was filled with horror...

"Second brother!" Chu Youchen suddenly grabbed his wrist, "If we don't fight back, he will kill us! Go to the palace and tell father!"

Chu Youheng cursed him for being an idiot, but smiled at Chu Youchen. "Don't worry, my royal brother. All the evidence pointed to you. If I say this now, it will only make my father angry. Don't worry, I have another way!"

"Oh?" Chu Youchen's eyes lit up.

Chu Youheng stepped forward and whispered in her ear. After a moment, they both smiled knowingly.

He left Prince Mu's Mansion very quickly. After he left, Mo Qinglian came forward as usual to help Chu Youchen take medicine.

Chu Youchen grabbed Mo Qinglian's wrist and pulled her into his arms, "Qinglian, I didn't know before that you are the best person to me in this world! Don't worry, if I can make a comeback in the future, I will definitely make you my princess!"

He paused, "If I can ascend the throne, you will be the queen of my Wu country!"

Mo Qinglian nestled in his arms, her eyes drooping without any emotion, but her voice was extremely joyful, "The prince and I have been married forever. The prince is a commoner, and I am his poor wife. If the prince ascends the throne and asks me to give up the throne, I will wait quietly by the side."

How could one be moved by such friendship? Chu Youchen turned over, pressed her down, and kissed her...
