"Brother, did you and Xie Chang'an have a fight?" Ye Jinghe leaned closer to Ye Jingchen and asked quietly.
When it comes to his brother, when did Xie Chang'an become so calm?
Something's not right, something's really not right!
“We didn’t argue, but—” Ye Jingchen thought for a moment and found an excuse for Xie Chang’an, “He’s been poisoned.”
It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Ye Jinghe the truth; it was just that Xie Chang'an's situation was too complicated.
If he were just an ordinary person with simple amnesia, there would be nothing to hide.
But the key point is that Xie Chang'an is a reincarnated person. He has only lost the memories of this life, but the memories of his previous life still exist. Many of his experiences in his previous life are things that he cannot let others know.
"Poisoned?" Ye Jinghe turned to look at Xie Chang'an, not quite believing it.
Given Xie Chang'an's vigilance, who could possibly catch him off guard?
Moreover, Xie Chang'an is in an awkward position in the eyes of outsiders. She has the title of Crown Princess but is not favored by the Emperor at all. What is the point of poisoning her?
Could it be that the person who poisoned him actually wanted to harm his brother, but Xie Chang'an was the first to be poisoned?
"Brother, are you alright?" Ye Jinghe asked hurriedly.
Chenxi, who was standing to the side, also looked at Ye Jingchen.
"I'm fine, it's Xie Chang'an who's in trouble. This poison is very similar to hysteria, it made him forget a lot of things, and his memory became distorted. When he was weak, someone implanted a lot of messy memories into him," Ye Jingchen said seriously.
"Have you found the person who poisoned us?" Ye Jinghe asked, his face grim.
Ye Jingchen knew that he had made a connection to him, because the poison that Ye Jingchen had conjured up out of thin air was very similar to the 'Reluctance' that Ye Jinghe had experienced when he was a child.
Ye Jingchen didn't want to bring up Ye Jinghe's old wounds, but only with this setup could there be room for maneuver if Xie Chang'an made a careless remark someday in the future.
"You don't need to worry about him. The person who poisoned him has been found by the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. He's a remnant of a powerful family. It's just that this poison is not easy to cure and will take time," Ye Jingchen said deliberately.
"How could I possibly worry about him?" Ye Jinghe immediately denied it. "Brother, Xie Chang'an is too useless. He doesn't even know that there are remnants of aristocratic families around you! Why don't you just move into the Prince's Mansion? I guarantee there will be absolutely no danger there!"
"Heh—" Xie Chang'an couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.
He thought the brothers were really hypocritical.
They appear to be brothers, but in reality, Ye Jingchen never tells the truth, and Ye Jinghe also harbors ill intentions.
He always said, how could there really be deep brotherly affection in the royal family?
"What are you laughing at? It's all because of your poor protection that your brother is in danger! Instead of reflecting on your actions, you still have the nerve to laugh?!" Ye Jinghe immediately questioned.
"Since you're so capable, then you protect him!" Xie Chang'an retorted sarcastically.
He wanted to see how Ye Jinghe would 'protect' his good brother, and whether Ye Jingchen would dare to let his good younger brother protect him!
To everyone's surprise, Ye Jinghe was not angry at all upon hearing this; on the contrary, he was extremely happy.
"I'll come, I'll come! I couldn't be happier!"
"The Prince's Mansion is quieter than the Crown Prince's Palace and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and the guards in the Prince's Mansion are all my trusted confidants. It is absolutely safe for my brother to live in the Prince's Mansion!" Ye Jinghe said confidently.
Protecting his older brother was his lifelong dream, but his brother had always been surrounded by too many people and didn't need his protection.
Now that Chenxi has been driven away and Xie Chang'an brought this upon himself, this golden opportunity has finally come his way!
Ye Jingchen thought for a moment. If he wanted to find a way to restore Xie Chang'an's memories, he would have to contact him frequently. Living in the Prince's Mansion would indeed be more convenient, so he nodded.
"Great! Don't worry, brother, I'll definitely protect you closely and I'll never let you encounter any danger!" Ye Jinghe promised with great enthusiasm.
Things didn't go as Xie Chang'an had imagined. He himself didn't realize that his face had turned as black as charcoal.
"I have Xie Jia and the others with me, so I'm safe. You don't need to work so hard," Ye Jingchen said to Ye Jinghe with a smile.
Xie Chang'an's expression softened a little.
“Their master has changed his mind, how can they still be trusted? Just to be on the safe side, brother, you should let them all leave!” Ye Jinghe tried his best to persuade them, and he even deliberately spoke very loudly.
He wouldn't let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by.
He wanted to tell Xie Chang'an so that Xie Chang'an would voluntarily withdraw all the secret guards.
Xie Chang'an was indeed somewhat tempted, but then he thought that by placing the secret guards next to Ye Jingchen, he could easily monitor Ye Jingchen. He couldn't miss such a good opportunity because of a momentary impulse.
So he pretended he hadn't heard anything.
"Xie Chang'an, can't you be more sensible and take the initiative to withdraw your bodyguards?" Seeing that Xie Chang'an didn't react to his hints, Ye Jinghe started to make it clear.
"I also want to withdraw, but His Highness the Crown Prince is too charming. My guards don't listen to me. What use are disobedient guards to me?" Xie Chang'an said with a sneer.
"I think it's not that they're disobedient, but that you deliberately planted your own bodyguards around your brother to monitor his every move!" Ye Jinghe always liked to assume the worst about Xie Chang'an.
Xie Chang'an remained silent for a moment.
This was just an excuse he made for his irrational behavior. Unexpectedly, Ye Jinghe thought the same way, and he suddenly felt less awkward.
Although Ye Jinghe had hit the nail on the head, he couldn't admit it. He ignored Ye Jinghe and looked at Ye Jingchen instead, "Fifth Prince, you're judging me with the mind of a petty person. Surely His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't think the same way about me?"
"You certainly wouldn't have done that before, but now—it's hard to say, maybe I'm a villain too?" Ye Jingchen said with a half-smile.
“If my brother is a villain, then I’ll be a villain too!” Ye Jinghe chimed in.
Xie Chang'an: ......
Is being a 'petty person' something to be proud of?
There were six of them when they came, but there were seven when they left.
Chenxi stayed by Ye Jingchen's side from the moment they arrived at the amusement park until they left.
"Don't worry about me. I have many bodyguards protecting me, so I won't be in any danger," Ye Jingchen reassured him.
Chenxi finally managed to change her habits from when she was a bodyguard and was able to live like a normal person. If she were to return to his side, wouldn't all her efforts over the past few years be in vain?
"I'll leave after he's recovered from the poison," Chenxi said.
'He' naturally refers to Xie Chang'an.
Ye Jinghe stared at Chenxi with eyes that looked like they were guarding against a thief, and said bluntly, "Brother has me to protect him, he doesn't need you."
Chenxi ignored him and disappeared immediately.
Ye Jinghe angrily swung his fists several times in the direction where the dawn had disappeared. If it weren't for his loyalty to his brother, those who had left would never be allowed to return to his brother's side!
