"He Xue!" Upon seeing He Xue's figure, the Crown Prince hurriedly chased after her.
"Brother Crown Prince, why are you out here?" He Xue asked in surprise.
"Didn't you say you weren't feeling well? I was worried, so I came to check on you!"
"It's okay, I'll just go back and rest for a bit!" He Xue said, her eyes darting around.
"He Xue, do you know that if you lie, your eyes will wander? Are you going to find Consort Wuya?" the Crown Prince asked directly.
Having learned everything from Xuejian and the Crown Prince, they no longer concealed anything. "Brother Crown Prince, if we find the antidote, Aunt will be saved!"
"We only have suspicions; we're not sure yet!"
"I'll try anything, no matter what!" Xue said firmly.
"It's too dangerous for you to go! You can't go!" the crown prince said, leaving no room for refusal.
“Brother Crown Prince, I’ve thought about it and I’m the most suitable one to go.”
Fourth Brother can't go. No matter what, Consort Wuya is her birth mother. No matter what Fourth Brother does, he will easily be accused of forcing his birth mother! He Xue didn't want Fourth Brother to have such a stain on his reputation.
The Crown Prince looked at He Xue and wondered if he had overlooked her before. Was He Xue being too good to his fourth brother? It seemed that He Xue always considered his fourth brother in everything she did.
"Brother Crown Prince, what's wrong?" He Xue didn't understand why the Crown Prince kept staring at her!
"He Xue, aren't you being too concerned about your fourth brother?" the Crown Prince asked cautiously, worried that He Xue's feelings for her fourth brother were not simply brotherly affection.
"Really?" He Xue didn't seem to notice. "Shouldn't a younger sister care about her older brother?"
"What kind of brotherly and sisterly affection do you have for your fourth brother?" the Crown Prince asked.
"What other kinds of sibling affection are there?" He Xue looked at the Crown Prince, puzzled.
The Crown Prince looked at He Xue with a confused expression, perhaps he was overthinking it. "Your Crown Prince brother asked the wrong question. It's the same feeling you have for Jing Shu and the others, isn't it?"
“Yes!” He Xue said frankly. Perhaps because of her relationship with Consort Tongjia, she was closer to the Fourth Prince, the First Prince, and the Third Prince.
After the crown prince understood, a smile appeared on his face. "What kind of feelings does He Xue have for me? Is it the same feeling a younger sister has for her older brother?"
He Xue was stumped by the Crown Prince's sudden question. She wanted to say yes, but then she thought no. She seemed to have a special dependence on the Crown Prince, a feeling she didn't even have for Jing Shu and Shu Yi.
"I... I don't think so!" Xue said, while secretly glancing at the Crown Prince's expression.
However, she noticed that the Crown Prince did not seem to be unhappy about it.
The crown prince felt that whatever it was, it was better than just brotherly and sisterly affection. "Tell me when you find out, okay?"
"Alright!" He Xue didn't really want to discuss this issue with the Crown Prince.
"Brother Crown Prince, can I go find Consort Wuya now?" He Xue really didn't want to waste any more time.
"He Xue can't go. Let's leave this to the Crown Prince. He will definitely find a way!" He wouldn't let He Xue go if there was even the slightest danger.
“Brother Crown Prince, as I just said, I am the most suitable person to go.”
Besides her aunt, I'm probably the person that Consort Wuya hates the most in the palace, since I've ruined her plans several times!
Only when he sees me will Wuya Guiren feel resentful, angry, and lose his mind. Only in this way can I find the flaw!
Crown Prince, you go! As long as Consort Wuya insists that she knows nothing, even if the Emperor goes, there's nothing he can do!
Moreover, I need your help, Your Highness. Even if Consort Wuya admits to me that she harmed my aunt, we still can't do anything to her as long as she doesn't admit it in front of my uncle, the Emperor.
But if you hear it, or if the emperor's uncle hears it, she won't be able to deny it even if she wants to.
So, Crown Prince, should we try to get the Emperor to come over? Or did you happen to overhear Consort Wuya's words? I'll leave it to you!" He Xue tried her best to persuade the Crown Prince.
After hearing He Xue's words, the Crown Prince realized that he had underestimated He Xue before, always thinking that He Xue was still a child. In fact, He Xue had grown up without him even noticing. He believed that soon He Xue would be the one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
