Prince Ye took a step back with a hint of disdain, pulling out a silk handkerchief to wipe his fingers. Hearing his words, he actually laughed: "What are you saying, Second Brother? Everyone looks out for themselves. I'm just scheming for myself. The people will understand me, but you're different."
He stopped what he was doing, and smiled, "In their eyes, I am a god descended from heaven, sent to save them. But you are the mastermind, a murderer. Even the most heinous crimes are not enough to describe you. Only going to hell can appease their hatred."
His eyes were icy cold, even the guards behind him couldn't help but shiver. Prince Xu, however, seemed to have heard an amusing joke, and suddenly opened his arms and laughed:
"Hahaha... Hahahaha... I, Zhao Xuanwu, have schemed for so long, yet I still couldn't defeat you, you treacherous villain. Heaven is going to destroy my Great Yu! Heaven is going to destroy my Great Yu!"
After saying that, he suddenly slammed his head against a pillar beside him. With a loud "bang," Prince Ye didn't even blink.
Lou Yi felt uneasy after leaving. Just as he turned back to the door, he saw this: "Your Highness—!"
...
...
"Miss! Miss! A letter has arrived from the Prime Minister's residence!"
Qin Xi was looking at the account book when she heard Bao Bao shouting loudly. She wanted to say something to her, but she became a little excited when she heard the second half of her sentence.
"Miss, this is a letter that Master sent for you." She stopped in front of him, still out of breath, and handed the letter to Qin Xi.
Qin Xi took the envelope and read: "To be opened by Yizhi."
The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, in the upright and honest style of Liu Gongquan. She had seen this handwriting for more than ten years and was very familiar with it.
Overjoyed, he hurriedly opened it:
My dear daughter, I read this letter and I hope you are well. Great changes have occurred in the family, but thankfully, they haven't affected you. Take care, and don't worry.
Qin Xi read the letter over and over again, though it was only a few simple words, and couldn't help but hug it to her chest, her eyes reddening.
She finally understood the meaning of "a letter from home is worth a fortune." Although they were both in the capital, she hadn't seen her father for a long time.
When she visited her family, Prime Minister Qin asked her to go back and visit more often, and she nodded in agreement. But how could she just do as she pleased?
There are plenty of idle people in the world who are best at gossiping behind people's backs. If she really goes back to her parents' home often, I'm afraid that in a couple of days people in the capital will be saying that the couple's relationship is not good.
With a slight sigh, Qin Xi looked at Lele, who seemed hesitant to speak, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"News has spread from the palace that His Highness Prince Xu... has gone mad."
Qin Xi was taken aback, then frowned: "Why did you suddenly go crazy?"
"It's said that he went mad after His Highness Prince Ye's visit," Lele sighed.
Qin Xi frowned.
...
...
"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Xu..." The Imperial Physician Liu, who was over fifty years old, knelt before Emperor Yuming and said with a frown, "He has indeed lost his mind."
Emperor Yuming was so shocked by the news that he took a step back and then sat down abruptly in his chair.
"This..." Prince Ye glanced at Emperor Yuming and said in a low voice, "Imperial Physician Liu, can the Second Prince still be cured?"
Physician Liu glanced at him, shook his head and sighed, "Your Highness, I am incompetent, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Prince Ye was taken aback.
No one spoke in the hall; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After a long silence, Emperor Yuming dejectedly waved to Physician Liu: "That's enough, you may go back now."
"Yes." Physician Liu replied respectfully, bending down to remove the silver needles from Prince Xu's head one by one: "This humble subject takes his leave."
