The Prince's Mansion was very deserted, with only three owners in the entire mansion.
Pei Yu changed his clothes and spoke to his sister who had been waiting at the dinner table.
"You eat first, I'll go over there."
"Oh! Okay."
Over there is the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Father-in-law's Mansion. No one knows why Pei Wanxiao's son wants to live separately.
In the palace, Pei Wanxiao had just come out of the main hall when he saw the queen walking towards him.
"Your Majesty, the Queen."
"Brother, please get up quickly. After not seeing you for so many years, you have become much more distant from me, your younger sister."
"Really? Perhaps it's just your Majesty's illusion. Haven't I always treated you this way? I'll take my leave."
Looking at his back, the queen thought a lot. Did he know something?
Although she and her sister look exactly the same, her brother has always been more inclined towards her since they were young. Could he have seen something?
"What is Wanwan thinking about?"
The queen covered the emperor's mouth with her hand.
"Your Majesty, why are you calling me that again? Be careful, there are ears."
"What are you afraid of? I'll see who dares to spread it."
The queen started to lose her temper.
"I don't care. You can't call me that in the future. I'm not afraid of other people, but now that my brother is back, Chi'er still needs his uncle's support."
In fact, why didn't she want to use her real name? She was Pei Weiwan! Not Pei Xingyun, but Pei Weiwan was dead! Died with the young master.
Despite the Queen's objection, Crown Prince Xiao Jingchi went to the Prince's Mansion every day.
"Cousin, you just returned to Beijing and are not familiar with everything here. Can I accompany you for a walk?"
Pei Luoyan showed a playful smile.
"Okay, thank you, cousin Prince."
The prince is worthy of being the famous playboy prince in the royal city. He can meet a confidante wherever he goes.
"My daughter greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Who is His Royal Highness's younger sister?"
The prince looked serious.
"This is my cousin. She just returned to the royal city, so I came here with her for a stroll."
Did you hear that? I came out today specifically to accompany my cousin. You guys should be sensible and stay away from me to avoid my cousin misunderstanding me.
"Cousin, you must be hungry. Let's go to Shidinglou for dinner. Shidinglou is the largest restaurant in this royal city, and I'm the owner behind it."
Pei Luoyan immediately showed an admiring look.
"Wow, cousin, you're amazing! You can do everything, unlike my brother who only knows how to wield swords and guns all day long."
That's right! Pei Yu is not worthy of being compared with himself. He is the crown prince of a country and the future king of Tianqi.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered Shiding Building, Xiao Jinghuai came down from the second floor.
Seeing someone familiar, Xiao Jinghuai rushed up excitedly.
"Yan'er! It's really you! You're back?"
Xiao Jingchi of course knew who he was talking about and pushed him away.
He protected the frightened Pei Luoyan behind him.
"Please open your eyes and see clearly, Prince Jing. She is not Yan'er. She is my cousin and the legitimate daughter of Uncle Pei."
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could there be such a similar person in the world?
"My cousin, I don't want to eat anymore. Please take me back home."
When the prince heard this soft tone, he immediately felt heartbroken.
"Okay, let's go."
Xiao Jinghuai didn't give up and rushed forward to stop them.
"Yan... No, Miss Pei, has she ever been to the capital or...?"
The prince interrupted him directly.
"Prince Jing, my cousin was born and raised in the frontier. This is her first time back in Beijing. Have I explained it clearly enough?"
Xiao Jinghuai stared straight at Pei Luoyan, and Pei Luoyan had no choice but to bow to him.
"Prince Jing, this is truly the first time I've returned to the capital with my father and brother. I've never met you before."
Xiao Jinghuai looked at their backs and his heart seemed to come back to life.
Yan'er, did you send her to me because you couldn't bear to leave me? She really looks like you, with the same appearance and the same gentleness as water.
It’s just that she is more noble than you. I think she deserves the position of Prince Jing’s wife.
Of course, the prince knew that Xiao Jinghuai had a beloved woman in his heart, and that woman was very similar to his cousin. He liked her portrait very much when he saw it for the first time. If she were still alive, he would have decided to bring her into the Eastern Palace as a concubine.
Along the way, the prince said a lot of bad things about Xiao Jinghuai. He only felt relieved when he saw the look of disgust on his cousin's face.
I can't let my cousin be deceived by Xiao Jinghuai. My cousin can only be mine, and my uncle has a large army under his command. My cousin is absolutely suitable to be the Crown Princess.
In the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince received a note from Prince Gong's Mansion.
What! Xiao Jinghuai was going to the palace to ask for permission to marry him. No, he must not be allowed to enter the palace.
Otherwise, the emperor would definitely agree to his request, as he likes his nephew very much.
That morning, Xiao Jinghuai was preparing to go to court, but today was particularly unfair. First, the carriage almost hit a pedestrian, and then a dead body appeared in front of him.
He took a different route but encountered an assassin, who killed him without a word.
He was caught off guard and was hit by a hidden weapon that was highly poisonous. He fell into a coma on the spot.
After Shen Chengyan shot the hidden weapon, he disappeared into the crowd.
No matter how they investigate, they will only find the prince.
Prince Gong had many daughters but only this one son. He immediately went to the palace to invite a famous doctor and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
"Your Highness, it's done. Prince Jing has returned home. I saw him being carried back to Prince Gong's Mansion with my own eyes."
Hahaha! I let you compete with me for someone. This is what happens when you offend me.
The prince had been protected too well for so many years and was not careful in his actions, so Prince Gong soon traced the problem back to the prince.
At this time, he was kneeling in the main hall and crying.
"Royal brother, the Crown Prince has gone too far. You must stand up for me! For so many years, I have believed that I have done nothing wrong to the Crown Prince. Huai'er even respects him as a brother, but he is so cruel as to murder his cousin...!"
The evidence is right before his eyes, and it is impossible for the emperor to deceive his son, the crown prince.
The prince was severely beaten and put in solitary confinement. He was also required to copy the Peace Sutra for Prince Jing every day. The emperor threatened that the prince would not stop until Prince Jing woke up.
During the time that Xiao Jinghuai was in a coma, the Su family could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Master, how about we leave here?"
Su Qingrong looked at Su Shouren excitedly, hoping that he would agree to leave.
But Su Shouren didn't want to.
"I am the savior of Prince Jing. The prince was just angry for a moment. Sooner or later, he will remember me as his benefactor. If you want to leave, go ahead. It's all caused by you, an unfilial daughter."
Yes, as long as this rebellious girl is driven out, the prince will not be able to see her and will remember his benefactor and will use him more.
