The news of Xiao Jingwen's awakening soon reached the emperor, and he came with a large group of people to ask about his well-being.
It was only at this time that Yan Xi learned that before her death, Concubine Shu revealed that she had framed Xiao Jingwen's mother and a bloody past event.
When the emperor was still a prince, he was sent to Jiangnan to control floods, but unfortunately he was assassinated.
After waking up, he found that his eyes were poisoned and everything he saw was blurry. He was rescued by a woman.
The emperor lived with the woman for some time, and they fell in love with each other, and he promised to marry her.
Later, the flood in Jiangnan was resolved and the emperor's eyes were cured. He went to look for the woman and found that she was actually the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei who was raised in Jiangnan.
The emperor was delighted and proposed to her after returning to Beijing, but he didn't know that his savior had already been replaced.
It's a typical routine. The daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei is the Concubine Shu, and the emperor's real savior is Xiao Jingwen's mother.
When they were young, the two looked very similar and were good friends who could talk about anything. However, Concubine Shu said that she liked the emperor and hoped that Xiao Jingwen's mother would not compete with her. Xiao Jingwen's mother agreed and decided not to appear in front of the emperor anymore.
Who knew that later, because of a crime, Concubine Shu offended the empress dowager who was still alive, and the emperor had no choice but to temporarily banish her to the cold palace.
But the empress dowager did not allow Concubine Shu to be the only one favored, and secretly discovered the existence of Xiao Jingwen's mother. She threatened with her parents' lives and deliberately sent his mother to the emperor. But the empress dowager was also afraid that his mother would be favored alone, so she did not tell the truth to the emperor, but secretly killed the person who knew the truth.
For so many years, the emperor had been kept in the dark. The day before yesterday, he discovered that Xiao Jingwen's mother was the White Moonlight. He was furious and ordered the execution of Concubine Shu. However, Concubine Shu went crazy and wanted to kill the emperor. Unexpectedly, she failed and was captured instead. In desperation, she exposed her demon pill and was blown to pieces.
Yan Xi, who knew the whole story, said: "..." Why is it getting more and more magical? Why is there a self-destructing demon pill? Isn't there no monster in this plane?
But none of this matters. What matters is that the emperor now feels both guilty and cherishes Xiao Jingwen, his son. Thinking that he has grown up and has blocked the knife for him, he directly conferred the title of Prince of Jin on him and gave him many rewards as a token of his great favor.
He was a prince, and his title was Jin. How honorable he was. No other prince had such treatment.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and some people began to secretly consider whether they should take a seat next to Prince Jin.
As for the previously favored Third Prince, after he was identified as a monster because of the Concubine Shu, some ministers strongly demanded that he be put to death. However, the Fourth Prince, who had always been on good terms with the Third Prince, begged the Emperor to spare the Third Prince's life, even if he had to be imprisoned for life.
The emperor finally adopted the fourth prince's plan. Considering that his children would not be harmed, he spared his life and imprisoned the third prince for life.
When Xiao Jingwen heard this, he sneered in his heart but didn't say anything.
Nowadays, he no longer lives in the palace. The emperor has given him a mansion. The prince's mansion covers a large area. I heard that it was previously inhabited by the most capable prince brother of the emperor of Dongli Kingdom.
In order to express his respect for his younger brother, the founding emperor built a luxurious and enviable palace, but he did not expect that Xiao Jingwen would take advantage of it.
During the days that Xiao Jingwen was recuperating from his injury, he always invited Yan Xi to talk and play chess with him.
Yan Xi also wanted to visit this luxurious prince's mansion, so he did not refuse and ran back and forth happily.
Chu Junyao was very disappointed with this.
What happened to keeping your distance from Prince Jin?!
Two days later, Yan Xi's knee injury had healed. Perhaps he realized that he had been playing too much recently and had forgotten about the heroine, so on the day of Shangsi Festival, he decided to leave the Shangshu Mansion.
There is an important plot on the Shangsi Festival. The heroine is dragged by her sisters to go on a spring outing and a lake tour with the young ladies and noblemen in Beijing.
The heroine's elder sister drugged her in order to embarrass her in public. However, the Fourth Prince, who was a hidden villain, saved the heroine and fell in love with her at first sight. Later, he confronted the heroine head-on for her. However, the Fourth Prince loved power more in his heart, and in the finale, he even used the heroine to force the hero to commit suicide.
Just when Yan Xi had joined the group of noble young men who were enjoying the spring outing on the lake, he unexpectedly discovered that Xiao Jingwen was also there.
Seeing the young man in blue dressed in gorgeous attire, Xiao Jingwen smiled softly, but there was no smile in his eyes.
He walked towards the young man step by step, looked down at him, and said with a cold tone, "Yanxi, why didn't you ask me to join you for the outing?"
Yan Xi was inexplicably frightened and stammered, "Your Highness's injury...isn't it...not fully healed yet?"
"Well... I'm fine now." Xiao Jingwen grabbed his hand and placed it on his chest. "If you don't believe me, feel it."
Yan Xi: “…” It’s not like you’re feeling the heartbeat, how can you tell if the injury has healed?
"I'm glad that Your Highness is okay." Yan Xi smiled brightly.
My mind is a mess.
With the male lead around, does he still have a chance to win the female lead's favor?
Not long after, those rich girls also arrived, laughing and talking, all of them were pretty. As the heroine, Murong Xing had a very high appearance in order to match the handsome Xiao Jingwen. Standing in a group of people, she stood out from the crowd without doing anything and could be seen at a glance.
Yan Xi looked at her, and Murong Xing was also looking at him, smiling and waving at him. Yan Xi's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled at her.
At the same time, he felt a little chill all over his body.
The boy hugged his arms and shivered.
Xiao Jingwen looked at the two people who were flirting with each other, his face full of gloom, and a strong murderous aura permeating his body. His cold eyes fell on Murong Xing, and he narrowed his black eyes dangerously.
Murong Xing, who was not far away, felt the cold gaze and looked over, and happened to meet Xiao Jingwen's eyes. He shuddered suddenly, turned his head away and pretended to look somewhere else.
The look in His Royal Highness Prince Jin's eyes is so, so terrifying. I hope I didn't offend him, right?
Yan Xi noticed that Murong Xing was looking around in a panic, somewhat confused.
"Who are you looking at?" The voice was calm, but it contained a possessiveness that could not be ignored.
Yan Xi tilted his head, and Xiao Jingwen looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes deep and filled with a faint cold light.
Yan Xi was frightened by his gaze. She shrank her neck, feeling a little guilty, and replied weakly, "I'm not looking at anyone."
Xiao Jingwen's expression was so scary. Could it be that he discovered that I was trying to steal his girl?
"Really?" Xiao Jingwen moved, stood opposite him, stared at him quietly, smiled, his eyes were dark and unchangeable, with a bit of paranoia, "Yanxi, don't lie to this king."
"No." Yan Xi swallowed and took a step back.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingwen's eyes darkened and he held his hand, "Follow me to a place."
