His words were quite frank and open.
If one is in a position of power, then why has one already left the palace?
Moreover, since I currently hold military power, I am confident that I can protect myself should any trouble arise.
I am no longer afraid of these things.
Xiao Nan snorted coldly, already knowing what this person was thinking.
"If Second Brother is unwilling, then you may not get a share of this empire."
"Father is not very old now. If we can rescue him, he can live for another ten years or so."
Is your ambition really only that small?
When Xiao Nan said this, his eyes became fixed on something.
He really didn't believe it.
Xiao Xiyou was bullied like that since he was a child, so he didn't really care about anything.
Such a prince would naturally suffer a lot of humiliation as he grew up.
Isn't he even a little bit angry?
That's absolutely impossible.
People he once disregarded as a child have now become his most formidable enemies.
Xiao Xiyou smiled nonchalantly.
"Perhaps His Highness the Third Prince doesn't know me. I just want to be a carefree prince. I have no other ambitions at all."
"If you want to become the emperor, then you have to rely on your own abilities to seize it. But if you don't have the ability, then don't get me involved."
This is what he hates most.
The mother and son were practically scheming in his face, yet they were still pretending to be friendly with him.
It's really ridiculous.
If we really want to cooperate, wouldn't we have to reveal what we want to gain?
If they just make empty promises here, then there's really no way to cooperate.
Xiao Nan's face turned gloomy.
"Don't be ungrateful. It's already very kind of me to tell you about this."
Xiao Xiyou looked as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Does Your Highness think I don't know?"
"Father is indeed unwell and is not seeing anyone."
"If even the Empress won't see him, how do you think I would possibly go in to check on the Emperor's condition?"
"He's just a leisurely prince, Your Majesty, please don't take him seriously."
He spoke very frankly, but if it were really laid bare, everyone would know perfectly well what was going on.
Xiao Xiyou is no longer the easily manipulated person he used to be.
The Queen clenched her fists tightly, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
He was clearly very angry about this, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Xiao Xiyou, I don't need to beat around the bush with you anymore. Let me just say it directly. What do you want?"
If these things hadn't happened last night, they might never have known.
But now that we know, we must make sure that everything is done perfectly.
The Empress has now completely stopped pretending.
If everyone is like this, then why pretend? Why not just offer the benefits directly?
Their expressions were also particularly cold.
Xiao Xiyou smiled faintly: "Perhaps you should think about this carefully yourself. Why did you ask me such a question?"
"Since Her Majesty and the Third Prince have nothing more to say, then I shall take my leave."
People might have been afraid of their authority before, but things are very different now.
He wasn't afraid at all.
The Empress wanted to say something more, but seeing the man's resolute departure, she shut her mouth.
We need to think about this matter carefully again. If we support someone with ulterior motives in the future, it will be even more damaging to them than it is this time.
Zhou Zhizhi was a little embarrassed, really not knowing why Xiao Xiyou had dragged him into this.
After running out, he saw Xiao Xiyou standing not far away, walking slowly.
I was so angry that I dragged myself out of bed so early in the morning.
After jogging over, he snorted coldly: "Your Highness, why did you bring me along today? You may be fine, but what if the Empress harbors ill intentions towards me..."
Zhou Zhizhi is just a national advisor. Although she has a system, the system can't possibly solve all her problems.
Xiao Xiyou smiled faintly, showing no remorse.
"You can't even handle this?"
"The Empress has more than one face."
Xiao Xiyou seemed to have thought of something, and a look of disgust appeared on his face.
Zhou Zhizhi knew what the Second Prince had gone through, so she didn't dare to say anything more.
At that moment, another group of people squeezed in from not far away.
Those eunuchs carried a sedan chair, hurrying off somewhere in no time.
As soon as Xiao Xiyou looked over, he exchanged a glance with the old man in the sedan chair.
This eunuch Cao has become incredibly bold these days.
"Oh, is this the Second Prince?"
"Why did you leave the Empress's palace so early in the morning?"
When Eunuch Cao said this, his tone was sarcastic and his meaning was quite obvious.
Xiao Xiyou snorted coldly: "Lord Cao, I'm not so bold anymore. Coming out in a sedan chair so early in the morning, isn't that a bit too much of a show?"
He was naturally unhappy to hear those words, and this eunuch Cao had now lost all sense of shame.
However, he was too happy too soon.
He's just a brainless idiot, why bother taking him seriously?
After hearing this, Eunuch Cao seemed to suddenly realize something and gave an awkward smile.
"Look at what I'm saying. I just woke up a little late this morning. Your Highness, please don't be angry."
"It's because His Majesty wasn't feeling well last night, and I took care of him all night before he felt a little better."
"Thinking that I would wake up quickly and come to serve the Emperor, I hurried in the sedan chair."
Xiao Xiyou nodded lightly, then waved for them to leave quickly.
There's really no need to say anything more to someone like that; it's too disgusting to even utter a single word. Once these matters are resolved in the future, Eunuch Cao will naturally be beheaded as well.
As soon as Eunuch Cao finished speaking, he turned his head away, but then glanced at Zhou Zhizhi standing next to him.
Although Zhou Zhizhi didn't want to cause trouble, she wasn't one to back down if Eunuch Cao came looking for trouble.
"Go back quickly."
"I have something to discuss with you today."
Xiao Xiyou spoke as if it were something very mysterious.
Zhou Zhizhi wasn't interested in any of this; she just wanted to go back and rest.
But in the end, she could only get into the sedan chair and go to the prince's mansion.
