But it’s because of this woman’s face. She’s actually the Crown Princess.

Bastard, who framed me?

Li Xiuzhu's expression changed as he thought.

He certainly couldn't leave at this time, after all, the Crown Princess had been harmed.

I won’t say whether I’m okay or not, but the Crown Princess is definitely dead.

But why is the Crown Princess here? If she shouted, why didn't anyone come to investigate?

Wait, is that the wine?

Li Xiuzhu's face was uncertain, and he could guess with his butt that this matter was related to the prince.

Is the Crown Prince going to use the Crown Princess to get rid of him? That's quite a big deal.

But why hasn't anyone come to catch the adulterer yet? What is this prince up to?

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Is the Marquis awake? The Crown Prince is here."

Are you here? Li Xiuzhu sighed and looked at the person behind him, then put on his clothes and opened the door.

Outside the door was the neatly dressed Crown Prince Li Chengze.

Before Li Xiuzhu could speak, the prince smiled and asked, "Did your husband sleep well last night?"

At this time, Li Chengze's face was full of sincere smiles, and there was no sign of dissatisfaction at all.

Li Xiuzhu's mouth twitched slightly. What does this kid mean? Doesn't he know that the woman lying inside is the Crown Princess?

"Needless to say, the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace is of the highest quality."

"That's good."

The prince paused and continued, "Shall we go inside and talk, or go somewhere else?"

Li Xiuzhu understood as soon as he heard it. What this meant was that he knew who was inside.

Since no one cares, why should I care? Please come in, Prince.

Although it is a guest room, it is fully equipped with everything, and the front room and the back room are naturally separated.

The prince sat on the chair and waved his hand to let the others go out. Then he looked at Li Xiuzhu who was also sitting down and said, "Brother-in-law, don't blame big brother. Big brother also has his own difficulties."

Li Xiuzhu paused, looking at this 'big brother' with a hairy head in silence, what unspeakable difficulties must you have to send your wife here?

Li Xiuzhu didn't understand and thought it was outrageous.

However, he understood one thing, that is, Li Chengze did not call anyone but talked to him, which must mean he had something to ask of him.

"Brother, you are too polite. If you have anything to say, just tell me. There is no need to do this."

Li Chengze smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if you've heard of this, but my eldest brother actually had a male lover."

Li Xiuzhu's expression changed, and he had some immature guesses.

Li Chengze continued: "Do you know why I, the crown prince and successor to the throne, would rebel?"

Li Xiuzhu's mouth twitched, and he brought out the most unlikely answer.

Remove all wrong answers, and then no matter how outrageous the answer is, it is true.

"Brother, are you doing this for that male favorite?"

Seeing Li Xiuzhu's mouth wide open in shock, Li Chengze nodded awkwardly, as if reminiscing, and said with true feelings: "When I was ten years old, he followed me and was my playmate since childhood."

"I don't remember when it started. I only remember the day I married the Crown Princess. When I looked at her, I remembered..."

Li Xiuzhu couldn't help but wonder, how come we haven't gotten to the point after talking for so long?

Please, do I want to listen to your rabbit show?

Li Xiuzhu, who couldn't bear to listen any longer, interrupted and asked, "So, what difficulties did His Majesty the Crown Prince encounter?"

Li Chengze paused, looked at the "unromantic" Li Xiuzhu with resentment, and then told the truth.

"Father said that he would pass the throne to me only if the Crown Princess had a child."

In an instant, Li Xiuzhu began to imagine again, does he not like women? Or is he not good enough? Could it be that the prince is an O?

As he spoke, Li Chengze poured a cup of tea and continued while drinking: "I have no interest in the Crown Princess at all. Even if it's not you, it will be someone else."

"But if it's you, then we're on the same page. Not only can I trust you more, but you'll also benefit, right?"

"Otherwise, even if you sincerely help me, I dare not trust you completely."

Li Xiuzhu couldn't help but asked in surprise: "So the prince thinks I got something good?"

"Although the Crown Princess has a beautiful appearance and a gentle and virtuous temperament, do I seem to be lacking in women?"

"Admittedly, from the perspective of the world, people may think that I have gained something."

"But how does Your Highness think that the benefits outweigh the trouble?"

Li Chengze thought about it carefully and realized that if it were him, he would not be willing to accept this benefit.

"The emperor must have more than one son, and he must have more than one concubine. If you, my brother-in-law, take a fancy to a girl from a certain family, I can recruit her into the palace."

"Hiss~"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

What should I do if I suddenly stop being angry? Not only am I no longer angry, but I feel like laughing instead.

"Ahem, Xiuzhu will definitely assist big brother well."

"By the way, big brother, I can help you keep an eye out for what kind of people you like, as long as it's not me."

Li Chengze was immediately interested when he heard this.

He rolled his eyes at Li Xiuzhu and said, "I don't like you being so masculine. Be fair and gentle."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuzhu didn't mind the prince's contempt at all, but instead felt relieved.

Otherwise, he might lose his life one day.

"Okay, I'll check later and get it back for you if there's any."

Isn't it just returning a favor? I understand.

If you can't find it, isn't it easy to cultivate some geigei?

This was in ancient times, and there were many people who did not have enough food to eat.

Some people even beg human traffickers to sell them into the palace just to make a living, let alone just acting coquettishly or cutely.

"Thank you so much, brother-in-law."

"Shall we talk business?"

Finally turning back, Li Xiuzhu nodded and said seriously, "To be honest, I didn't expect that your position as crown prince was not abolished."

"But this also proves that the Crown Prince is still the best among his descendants in His Majesty's eyes, so your situation is still very good."

The prince was startled, but he heard the key words.

"think?"

"Yes, I think so."

Li Xiuzhu paused and continued, "To be honest, I'm not surprised at all that the heir of the royal family is hiding something."

The prince nodded upon hearing this and did not deny it.

This kind of thing may have happened in every dynasty.

"So what do you think I should do?"

Li Xiuzhu thought for a moment and continued, "Before today, I would suggest you keep a low profile and test your brothers' ambitions before considering the next step."

"And now, I need to understand the situation on His Majesty's side first."

Li Xiuzhu looked at the prince and asked, "Does the prince know the emperor's attitude towards me?"

The prince was stunned. He didn't expect Li Xiuzhu to ask him this question directly.

If it was before today, he would definitely not have said it, but because of the Crown Princess, he did not hide it.

After a brief silence, the prince said, "My father and mother asked me to win you over, but my father said that if I can't get along with you, then I will get rid of you."
