Zhao Ying slapped his hand away fiercely, saying angrily, "What do you think I'm afraid of? I'm afraid that my biological brother will ascend to the throne, and without anyone to suppress him, he'll come to avenge me, his biological sister! How ridiculous, Zhao Xi! The Queen Mother and I are no match for Qi Dongqiang!"
What she feared more was the killing of brothers and sisters.
She really didn't want to make enemies with her own brother. She had love and pity for him. As long as he was willing to put aside the past grudges with her, she could tolerate the matter of Concubine Qi and the grievances suffered by her mother.
Just treat him as a joke.
Zhao Xi hinted, "Really? Are you just afraid of this?"
Zhao Ying was furious when she saw Zhao Xi's lukewarm expression. She grabbed the stack of portraits and handed them to Zhao Xi, "Choose for me! You must choose today!"
Zhao Xi glanced at her indifferently, but walked past her, sat down at the table, moved a stack of cakes in front of him, and began to eat slowly.
Zhao Ying's heart sank and her blood boiled. She was almost driven crazy by his indifferent attitude.
"you……"
When had Zhao Ying ever suffered such humiliation? He rushed forward a few steps, raised his leg, and kicked the heavy octagonal table hard. With a loud bang, the octagonal table was kicked to the ground, and everything on it was overturned to the ground, including the plate that Zhao Xi was eating.
"Eat, eat, eat! I told you to eat! If you don't choose, don't eat!" Zhao Ying growled.
There was an eerie silence in the study. Seeing this, the maids lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Qian Chengluo came over and saw this scene. He opened his mouth slightly and was about to call Zhao Xi, but seeing this, he wisely hid behind and shut his mouth.
Oh my god, the princess and the prince are fighting.
Princess Chengqian is so overbearing, she actually dared to overturn the prince's table...
Zhao Xi's eyes froze for a moment, and his handsome face showed no emotion.
He glanced at the mess on the ground, then looked at Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying raised her chin provocatively.
Just when everyone present felt that war was about to break out, Zhao Xi opened his mouth as if nothing had happened, raised his hand, and fed himself a piece of cake.
Zhao Ying: ...Ahhhhhhh, I still have some!!
Zhao Ying gave Zhao Xi a thumbs-up and said sarcastically, "Good! Good! You can do it!"
She said as she walked out, "I give up!"
"I admit defeat!"
“You’re awesome!”
The maids saluted and said, "Farewell, Princess Chengqian!"
After Zhao Ying left, Zhao Xi suddenly laughed, and the comfortable and low laughter reached everyone's ears.
Qian Chengluo looked at this scene in surprise, looking at Zhao Xi whose shoulders and back were shaking violently with laughter. Is it so funny?
More importantly, isn’t the princess the enemy who murdered the prince’s wife?
Why did he feel that the prince had no hatred towards the princess?
Not only is there no hatred, but it is also very... indulgent.
He and the prince had known each other since childhood, and he had never seen him indulge and pamper a woman like this. The prince treated the princess differently from A Yuan.
He said it was not good, but it was really different.
Is this the difference between family and love?
"Cough cough!" Zhao Xi in front suddenly coughed.
Qian Chengluo's thoughts were interrupted. He hurried over and asked, "Is the prince okay?"
Zhao Xi covered his chest and waved at him, "I am fine."
Qian Chengluo watched his actions and couldn't help but get angry. "Princess, what a fool! She knew that Your Highness was poisoned and that seeing her would inevitably remind Your Highness of A Yuan's death. Yet, she has come over time to choose a concubine for Your Highness. What is she planning?"
He was talking to himself, but didn't notice Zhao Xi's suddenly dilated pupils and frozen expression.
Heart-eating insect.
Is the Gu acting up again?
But he clearly wasn't thinking about Yuan'er just now, he was thinking about...
impossible!
The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with gloom. Seeing Qian Chengluo still mentioning Zhao Ying, he scolded, "Don't talk about the princess."
Qian Chengluo was startled and immediately said, "Yes."
"What's up?"
Qian Chengluo then remembered the important matter and said happily, "Your Majesty, Princess Huaian and the spirit boy Zhao Zihua have been found."
"Oh?" Zhao Xi smiled lightly, "Take me there."
Zhao Yao was transferred from one secret cell to another, but this cell was newly built, with newer brick and stone fences and torture instruments.
Zhao Xi sat down, with Qianchengluo and Hengbi standing on his left and right.
Qian Chengluo said, "Why don't you pay your respects to His Royal Highness Prince Ding?"
Zhao Yao slumped on the ground, looking up at the man above her. Even though her vision was dim, she could still see the man's handsomeness and nobleness. People said that Prince Ding was the real crown prince, so was he her real royal brother?
That's great, she finally has the chance to meet her father.
But now she has not yet determined who is her friend and foe, so she still needs to test it out.
If he and Zhao Ying were good friends, wouldn't she be walking into a tiger's mouth if she told them?
But she had a feeling he was a friend, not an enemy.
Seeing that Zhao Yao didn't say anything, Qian Chengluo wanted to say something else, but Zhao Xi raised his hand to stop him.
Qian Chengluo understood what he meant and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Yao, you once revealed Princess Chengqian's life experience to the late virtuous king. Is this true?"
Zhao Yao's eyelids twitched, and a strange light flashed out.
Why did he ask this? Did he notice something?
Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Xi warily, but Zhao Xi remained aloof and didn't show any respect to Zhao Yao.
Qian Chengluo threatened, "If you tell the truth, His Highness will spare you. If you keep silent, your daughter... will die!"
"Why are you asking that?"
Hengbi on the side narrowed his eyes.
He didn't understand why his sixth brother let Zhao Yao go. Could it be that he had given up and didn't want to return to his position and change his fate?
Thinking of this, Hengbi's breathing became heavier.
If that was the case, he had to take advantage of Zhao Yao's move.
