"You are poisoned, Your Highness. It's a love poison. Go back and eat more to calm your nerves." Xu Tianze looked at the Sixth Prince with a smile again.
The Sixth Prince wanted to say something, but when he heard Xu Tianze say this, he remembered what Xu Tianze said to him at the palace banquet that night, "He is poisonous."
His face looked a little ugly, and he stood up and walked out in an instant. He was a member of the royal family and could have his own favorite person, but he also could not.
The only thing he couldn't do was to plot against him in this way. Now thinking of his initial suspicion, he instantly realized that he had been led by the nose by this person, so he hurried back.
He wanted to verify it again and recheck to see if he was really poisoned.
Only after Yun Wuyou and the Sixth Prince left did Xu Tianze finally breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked Xichen to sit next to him.
What he did today will surely make everything public once Yun Wuyou and the Sixth Prince have a fight. By then, everything will be out in the open, which will be more convenient.
Next, it depends on what the empress thinks. You know, she specifically asked him to attend the palace banquet, but she never talked to him privately, and now she keeps causing trouble for him.
He really needs to figure out what this person is thinking now, so that he won't be as passive as he is now in Haojing.
"Is it really okay for you to make such a fuss?" The third prince was still sitting steadily on the chair, but he looked at Xu Tianze with confusion.
Although many core nobles knew that Lan Zexu was Xu Tianze, it had never been completely confirmed, and most people in Haojing still didn't know about it.
Now Xu Tianze is about to make his move public, but you have to know that the king of Gan country is still searching for him desperately.
"A well-known secret is no longer a secret. The third prince found out about it before the end of the year. I believe he has also told the country of Gan, right?" Xu Tianze leaned on Xichen with a lazy look.
Today, Xu Tianze was dressed in purple clothes, which made his skin look white. The evil smile on his face made him look like a bewitching demon, which made the Third Prince's eyebrows twitch.
He suppressed the irritation in his heart and forced himself to look away: "As expected of a scourge to the country, he can poison without knowing it."
"Tsk, it's just some spice. You are spineless." Xu Tianze curled his lips and stuffed the incense pill he had just taken out into a small bottle.
He originally wanted to test the Third Prince's willpower, but it seemed that his willpower was not very good. He even had difficulty resisting his failed product.
If it was a refined product, this person would have surrendered immediately, relaxed his vigilance a little, and then turned his gaze to the Yue Lao Tree.
After Xu Tianze put away the incense pill, the third prince couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was somewhat glad that he still had enough self-control, otherwise if something embarrassing really happened, he really wouldn't be able to stay in Minglan Kingdom.
After all, he is still a prince with a criminal record. Although the nobles in Haojing do not say it openly, few of them look up to him in private.
This is also the reason why few women wanted to marry him even though he was old enough to get married.
But ever since arriving here, Xu Tianze would often cast his gaze towards the Moon Tree. He was curious, and now that no one else was around, he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you always look towards the Moon Tree?"
It can't be that you are praying for a marriage.
"I'm just curious why trees can carry so many thoughts." This Yue Lao tree is one, and so is the osmanthus tree in the yard.
Xu Tianze's eyebrows drooped, as if the stars in the sky began to dim at this moment. It was clearly daytime, but the third prince saw the wails of the night.
The Third Prince thought for a moment, then turned his gaze towards the couples standing before the Moon Tree. "All living things have spirits, but trees have a longer lifespan. The rotation of their annual rings carries the traces of time, and naturally, they can also carry people's good wishes."
"Do the rings of time carry thoughts of wishes?" Xu Tianze murmured softly, then smiled self-deprecatingly.
The wishes are good, but under the erosion of time, what is left may not be the original intention of the past. The so-called love and affection are really seen through and tired of.
Whether it was Yun Wuyou, the Sixth Prince, or anyone else, they all just valued his abilities and wanted to imprison him in the name of love, just like Long Mujiang.
The third prince did not say anything when he saw this. He believed that one should not advise others to do good without having experienced their suffering. Although he knew more or less about Xu Tianze's experience from rumors.
But after all, he is just an audience member, and only the parties involved can taste the various flavors. It is better for him as an audience member not to make any comments.
"I'm suddenly in the mood. Does the Third Prince know how to play the piano?" Xu Tianze tilted his head to look at the Third Prince with a carefree smile in his eyes.
The third prince did not respond. He just lined up several cups in a row, poured tea of different heights into them, and waited for Xu Tianze to start mixing the tea.
Seeing this, Xu Tianze tilted his head to look at the Moon Tree again, recalling the little song his mother often sang when he was young:
"If the sky has feelings, it is also heartless~"
"Love will eventually separate~"
"The mark of your reincarnation~"
······
A clean and clear voice mixed with the tinkling sound continued to spread, but anyone could hear the vicissitudes of life in the story of the owner of this voice.
It's like the initial love has turned into mutual dislike at the end, and all that is left is a heart full of calculations. The original passion has long been erased by time.
There are many infatuated men and women who want to make good wishes in front of the Moon Tree. However, from those who came here in the past to those who came here this year, how many of them can truly get what they want?
For a moment, the bustle in front of the Yue Lao tree disappeared, and only Xu Tianze's lonely and vicissitudes of life echoed, as if he wanted to lead everyone to understand his joys and sorrows.
"Looking back alone is too hasty~"
"How much love and hatred in this life~"
······
Xu Tianze's mind kept recalling his past, the initial joy and youthful secret love, then being swept up in the family's blood feud, and finally being abandoned again and again.
Although there are people around him who treat him sincerely, he is already extremely sensitive and no longer dares to trust others.
"I heard that the biggest failure of the Gan Kingdom was that the Xu Li family, who were pure and innocent, gave birth to a monster like Xu Tianze."
"People from all walks of life in Gan Kingdom are constantly cursing him, saying that Xu Tianze is worse than the prostitutes in the brothels and the boys in the pampering houses." The empress's eyes moved, with an inexplicable meaning at the corners of her mouth.
"But if you look at it from another angle, Xu Tianze is just a pitiful man."
