When Zong Zhengchen finished the matters at hand, he went to the front hall and saw that it was empty. After asking, he learned that Qin Ye and Prince Li had gone out together.

Going out together?

Don't tell him?

When did the relationship between these two become so good?

The man frowned, thinking that the matter was not simple, and immediately went out to chase the two people.

Good job!

From a distance, I saw these two people in the crowd. They were walking and laughing. I didn't know what they were talking about, but they looked very happy.

He straightened his back, his face became serious, and he walked forward:

"cough!"

In front of a small stall with a wooden cart, Qin Ye and Zong Zhengli turned around at the same time.

Qin Ye was surprised: "Huh? Aren't you busy? Why did you come out? And we bumped into each other, what a coincidence."

——When I saw his stern face, it looked like he had eaten shit. Could he be here to catch someone having an affair? Oh my god, there can’t be such a stupid person in the world. How could someone have an affair so openly on the street?

——Maybe he is just such a stupid person.

“…”

Zong Zhengchen paused slightly, and his temper that had just risen was suppressed in an instant, and reason overwhelmed his impulse.

really.

He can't be too impulsive.

If you insist on doing things your own way and are self-centered, you will be finished sooner or later.

For the past twenty years, the man who was used to planning and commanding people, at this moment, suppressed his temper, thought seriously about Qin Ye's inner thoughts, and became much calmer than before.

He said, "Fifth brother, I was busy just now and didn't have time to receive you. I was negligent."

King Li was flattered by King Chen's politeness.

One is the emperor's most beloved prince, and the other is an abandoned prince who was born in a humble family and was unpopular since childhood. The two people in extreme positions standing together made Prince Li subconsciously feel restrained.

Zong Zhengli immediately said, "Prince Chen is too polite. I abducted Prince Chen's wife without your consent. I am guilty of offending you."

"I wanted to come out on my own." Qin Ye said, "It's his mother's birthday in a few days. He's a man and doesn't know how to choose a gift, so I came to help him with some advice."

Prince Li's biological mother was a palace maid who was executed after she gave birth to him. The mother here was a wet nurse, an old nanny who raised him since he was a child.

Just like Concubine Tong.

Concubine Xiao died early, and Concubine Tong raised Prince Chen personally. Even though she was born in a humble family, she was granted the title of concubine because of her hard work and great achievements.

But Prince Li's mother is more miserable. Prince Li is not favored, and his mother can't get any good treatment. Now she lives in Prince Li's mansion, has no title, no status, and is just like ordinary people.

Zong Zhengchen frowned, words were on the tip of his tongue, but when he saw Prince Li was there, he swallowed them back and changed his words:

"When the old lady's birthday comes, Ye'er and I will come over."

Zong Zhengli's body trembled, feeling extremely flattered:

"King Chen..."

"You and I are brothers. There's no need to be so distant." Zong Zhengchen patted his shoulder and called out, "Fifth Brother."

After patting him again and saying a few words, he took Qin Ye and left first.

Zong Zhengli stood where he was, looking at the two people's backs as they left, with a gleam of dark light in his eyes.

"Master." The secret guard appeared silently and whispered, "What you are going to do conflicts with King Chen. We should not get too close to King Chen."

He just stood there, watching.

After a long while, the voice was very soft: "You know how I have been through these years."

He was bullied by everyone, not welcomed, had to endure humiliation, be cautious, and accept everything. Although he was a prince, his life was worse than that of the palace maids and eunuchs.

However, Princess Chen took the initiative to approach him, and Prince Chen was the first person to regard him as a brother.

He cherishes the friendship he has with them.

"I also want to be like others, with family, friendship, and..." He looked at the woman's back and whispered softly:

"love……"
