"Second Brother, do you want to know how Xue and I became entangled in our passionate affair?" The Eighth Prince looked at the Crown Prince provocatively.
The Crown Prince bent down, took the sword from the First Prince's hand, and threw it straight at the Eighth Prince. The sword grazed the Eighth Prince's scalp and embedded itself in the pillar behind him.
A few strands of hair fell at the Eighth Prince's feet.
"You are not worthy to mention He Xue's name!" The Crown Prince looked at the Eighth Prince with a sinister gaze.
The Eighth Prince looked at the Crown Prince indifferently and said smugly, "Tonight, He Xue and I have been intimate. Perhaps He Xue is already carrying my child. Does Your Highness still want to take He Xue away? Does Your Highness want to raise my son?"
"Second Prince, I've always called you a dog, but I never expected him to be even more of a dog than you!" the eldest prince said to the crown prince.
“He Xue has been in Yuqing Palace all night!” the Crown Prince said.
"Hehe! Why should the Crown Prince deceive himself?" the Eighth Prince laughed loudly.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask her!" the Crown Prince said, pointing behind the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince turned around and saw that "He Xue" had appeared out of nowhere!
"He Xue, why are you out here?" the Eighth Prince asked as he approached He Xue.
He Xue ignored the Eighth Prince and curtsied to the Crown Prince, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
The Eighth Prince looked at He Xue with a puzzled expression.
"Eighth Prince, don't you understand yet?" the First Prince asked smugly.
The Eighth Prince stared incredulously at "He Xue" before him, asking, "Who exactly are you?"
He suddenly remembered that Xue had always called the Crown Prince "Crown Prince Brother" and never bowed to him.
He Xue sneered, then reached behind her ear and tore off a piece of human skin from her face, transforming herself into a completely different person.
"Aren't you He Xue?" The Eighth Prince asked, still unwilling to give up, even though he knew the person in front of him was not He Xue.
“Isn’t it obvious? Has he lost his mind?” the eldest prince said to the third prince beside him.
"Brother, can you please be quiet for a bit? You're the one who talks the most tonight!" the Third Prince said impatiently.
When the eldest prince saw the third prince's disdainful look, he was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he knew that it was not the right time, so he could only secretly remember this.
"Does the Eighth Prince still remember Xu Nanping, the Prefect of Jiangnan?" the woman asked, staring at the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince felt the name was familiar, but couldn't quite place it.
"Eighth Prince, you must have a bad memory! I am Xu Nanping's sister, Xu Yan!"
"Back then, my brother exposed Guo Yunjin's corruption and bribery. In order to preserve your power and protect Guo Yunjin, you actually sent people to kill my brother. You also killed many innocent people!" Xu Yan looked at the Eighth Prince with eyes full of hatred.
The Eighth Prince didn't care who Xu Yan was. Anyway, he had just as many haters as Xu Yan. He was just unwilling to accept that his plan had failed after so long.
"Eighth brother, if things go according to your plan tonight, do you know that you'll put Hexue in jail!"
I could overlook anything you did before, but you absolutely shouldn't have hurt He Xue!
“I hurt He Xue? How could I hurt her? I like He Xue and just want to keep her by my side, is that not allowed? You are the Crown Prince now, you have everything, why do you still want to compete with me for He Xue?” the Eighth Prince questioned.
"Your affection will only bring trouble to He Xue! And what you feel isn't affection at all, it's just possessiveness and resentment!"
"How did you find out?" The Eighth Prince thought carefully; the Crown Prince must have known about his plan a long time ago.
