The prince called for water three times before finally stopping, seemingly reluctant to leave. He looked at He Xue, who was so tired she didn't even want to move a finger, and smiled indulgently. He then lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead. "I'll be back soon!"
He Xue is already asleep and has no idea what the Crown Prince is going to do.
The Crown Prince pushed open the door and went out. Qingdai and Xiabing immediately went up to him when they saw him come out.
"Guard this place well, don't let anyone disturb He Xue!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qingdai and Xiabing replied in unison.
Watching the Crown Prince's departing figure, Xia Bing asked in confusion, "Qingdai, where did the Crown Prince go? Why did he leave the Princess alone?"
"We don't need to worry about our master's affairs. We just need to protect the princess!"
"Okay, I understand!" Xia Bing replied.
Inside a room in Yuqing Palace, the eldest prince paced back and forth, wondering, "Why hasn't the second prince arrived yet?"
The Third Prince leisurely sipped his tea. "Eldest Brother, sit down and wait! Second Brother has been looking forward to his wedding night for so long, can he come out so soon?"
The eldest prince approached the third prince mysteriously, "Third prince, do you think the second prince has been holding back for so many years? Could it cause some problems?"
"How would I know?" The Third Prince rolled his eyes at the First Prince. Even if there was a problem, he wouldn't know!
"Fourth Prince, what do you think?" the eldest prince asked the fourth prince beside him.
"I'm a little worried about Xue!" the Fourth Prince said with concern.
The eldest prince was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, "Fourth prince, I never expected someone with your face like a coffin lid to say such a thing!"
At this moment, the Crown Prince pushed open the door and walked in. "Brother, what are you talking about? I could hear your laughter from far away."
"You've finally arrived. I thought you weren't coming," the eldest prince said, looking at the crown prince.
If it weren't for resolving the issue, he really wouldn't have wanted to come. He was too busy spending time with He Xue; wasn't it better to have such a lovely woman in his arms? Who would want to be with these three people?
"Brother, let's go!" the Crown Prince said, wanting to finish this quickly so he could return to be with He Xue.
"Alright, let's go!" The eldest prince stood up and called to the third and fourth princes.
Half an hour later, the Crown Prince and his entourage arrived outside a manor.
"Eighth Prince, this estate is quite well hidden!" the eldest prince said, looking at the tightly closed gate.
The crown prince waved his hand, and a bodyguard appeared before him. "Arrest everyone, but don't punish them yet!"
"Second Prince, why aren't you dealing with this? Are you keeping it for the New Year?" the eldest prince said disapprovingly.
“Yes, Second Brother. Wouldn’t it be better to take this opportunity to wipe them all out?” the Third Prince also asked.
"Today is the day of my wedding with He Xue, it is not auspicious to see blood!" the Crown Prince said gently.
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, the eldest prince nearly fell off his horse. "Second prince, don't talk like that! I can't stand it! I almost became the first prince in the Qing Dynasty to fall off his horse!"
The Crown Prince ignored the First Prince and rode his horse straight through the door.
The noise startled the people in the village, and someone immediately went to inform the Eighth Prince.
"Master, the Crown Prince has arrived!"
The Eighth Prince had already woken up, and He Xue, who was beside him, had a noticeable glimmer in her eyes when she heard these words.
"I didn't expect the Crown Prince to arrive so late!" The Eighth Prince kissed He Xue's cheek. "He Xue, do you think the Crown Prince went to the bridal chamber tonight?"
"You stay here and behave, I'll be right back!"
The Eighth Prince dressed, opened the door, and went out. "Arrange for people to protect the Princess. No one is allowed to approach this place. If anyone is found, kill them on the spot!"
"Yes, I understand!"
The Eighth Prince had just arrived at the front courtyard when he saw the Crown Prince already riding in on horseback.
"Second brother, what does this mean?"
"Isn't tonight Second Brother's wedding night? Why are you here with your younger brother?" Eighth Prince asked with a smile.
"Isn't Eighth Brother a bit drunk? I was worried, so I came to check on him!" The Crown Prince showed no intention of dismounting.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince also walked in.
"Second brother, everyone's packed up! He's all alone now!" the eldest prince said.
"Thank you for your trouble, elder brother!" the Crown Prince said to his eldest son.
Upon hearing this, the Eighth Prince was greatly alarmed. All the people here were people he had secretly trained, and he never expected that the Crown Prince would capture them all. The Eighth Prince's heart was bleeding.
However, the Eighth Prince felt much better when he thought about how crazy the Crown Prince would be.
"I wonder how Second Brother's wedding night went?" the Eighth Prince asked with a smile.
“Very well! I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you!” the crown prince said.
Seeing the Crown Prince like this, the Eighth Prince had a hint of doubt in his heart. Could it be that the Crown Prince had accepted Ulanara Rouze so easily? He was certain that the person beside him was He Xue. He knew that He Xue always wore the ring given to her by the Crown Prince and would never take it off.
He also observed that the person who was marrying the crown prince had nothing in his hands.
"Second brother, why are you wasting your breath arguing with him so late at night? It's so tedious!" the eldest prince said impatiently.
"Eighth Prince, we know perfectly well what you've done. Hand over the person!" The First Prince pointed his sword directly at the Eighth Prince.
"Second brother, are you also planning to follow the example of the Emperor and steal your brother's wife?" The Eighth Prince took a few steps forward, raised his hand to push the First Prince's sword aside, and looked up at the Crown Prince.
Xingchi from Fengxian Hall exclaimed, "He's truly my good grandson!"
