Chapter 121 Xiao Jiwu can only take the blame for him
Outside the tent, Prince Su Xiao Jinchen responded gently, "Eunuch Zhao, I'm here to see my third brother. I wonder if he's in the tent right now?"
"At this hour, the prince is naturally in his tent..." Zhao Mingde was still doing his best to delay time. He pretended to be calm and continued, "But I don't know whether the prince has gone to bed yet. Please allow me to go in and inform him."
After all, he wasn't sure what the two people in the tent were doing just now, and whether they had sorted it out...properly now.
If Prince Su discovered this, there would be no end to this matter.
Xiao Jinchen frowned slightly upon hearing this. Clearly, he was displeased at being obstructed in this way...
At this moment, in the tent, Xiao Jiwu looked at the young man standing straight and nervously beside the desk, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi was speechless after watching this.
Laugh, laugh, laugh, I don’t know what’s so funny.
Is this a joke?!
It's extremely urgent and crucial!
If anyone finds out, he'll be screwed!
In anxiety, Yun Qingshi frowned and opened his mouth to silently urge: Stop looking at me, read the book!
Xiao Jiwu understood what the boy meant, but he didn't do anything unnecessary and quickly sat up straight.
But he never showed any sign of anxiety. He just calmly straightened his robe, turned a page of the military book on the desk, and then slowly walked outside the tent and ordered: "Zhao Mingde, please invite Prince Su in."
Outside the tent, Zhao Mingde finally felt relieved after hearing this.
He immediately put on a smiling face, opened the curtain, and invited Xiao Jinchen into the tent: "It seems that our prince has not yet gone to bed. Your Highness Prince Su, please come in."
After hearing this, Xiao Jinchen glanced at Zhao Mingde with displeasure before walking into Xiao Jiwu's tent.
However, once he entered the tent, he immediately put on a concerned look and anxiously stated his purpose: "I heard that Third Brother was unwell and didn't even attend the hunting feast tonight. I was worried, so I came to check on you."
After hearing this, Xiao Jiwu just raised his eyes and looked at the other person calmly: "Big brother is here."
Xiao Jinchen quickly walked to the desk, nodded slightly, and asked with a worried look on his face, "How are you feeling now? Are you still feeling unwell? Do you want to ask the imperial physician to come and see you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiwu was too lazy to even stand. He just said perfunctorily, "Thank you for your concern, brother. There's no need to bother the imperial physician to come so late. I'm fine now."
"That's good." Xiao Jinchen looked relieved after hearing this. After a pause, he placed an exquisite wooden box on the desk and said, "This is the Taihe Baozhen Pill from the palace. If you feel unwell again, you can take one. It's always good for your health."
Xiao Jiwu's face remained emotionless as he replied, "Okay, thank you for your kindness, big brother."
Xiao Jinchen looked worried. Anyone who saw him would probably think that he was really worried about him. They would also think that he was a kind-hearted person who cared so much about his brother who was branded as a disaster.
But this appearance couldn't fool Xiao Jiwu.
When he was young and still living in the cold palace, many people would ridicule and humiliate him when they had nothing to do. It was common for several princes of the same age to throw stones into the courtyard without regard for their blood relationship, and they would even send eunuchs to release snakes, insects, rats and ants to bite him.
Only his elder brother was different from others, like a stream of clear water in the muddy water.
He would bring him food when he was hungry and a quilt when it was cold in winter.
But only he knew that the food was rotten.
But if he doesn't eat, he will starve to death.
The quilt looks thick, but it is windy when you cover it with it.
It was only later when the quilt was torn that he discovered that it did not contain whole cotton at all, but just some tattered cotton wool.
It has only a layer of luxurious brocade, but the inside is tattered.
Just like Xiao Jinchen, he appears to be a modest gentleman on the outside, but is actually vicious and dirty on the inside.
If it weren't for these experiences in his childhood, he might have believed that the other person was kind-hearted.
Unfortunately, he will only be disappointed again and again.
The reason why Xiao Jinchen gave him those things was just for show, to make everyone think that he was kind.
But he didn't really want to make things easy for him, so he gave him those superficial things.
And his actions this time were just relying on the fact that no one would listen to a disaster star...
Even if he told these things today, no one would believe him.
But Xiao Jiwu was too lazy to say anything. He would repay everyone in his own way.
While the two were talking, Yun Qingshi stood there motionless, acting like a wooden man.
But in fact, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Xiao Jinchen a few times.
At first glance, this person... looks like a gentleman.
But if your attitude is too attentive, it will seem a bit hypocritical.
The original book does not mention what kind of person this person is, but his fate is still to die at the hands of the villain Xiao.
But even without considering those things, Yun Qingshi didn't think this guy was a good person. He inexplicably didn't like him...
Let’s talk about Xiao Jinchen again. He was obviously treated coldly. After a long time, the smile on his face began to fade.
After a moment, his eyes slowly swept across Xiao Jiwu's desk, but his attention was attracted by the storybook that Yun Qingshi had forgotten to put away.
The main reason is that the big words on the cover are really eye-catching.
Xiao Jinchen couldn't help but ask with some surprise: "Third brother, do you still read this kind of book?"
Yun Qingshi:!!!
Yun Qingshi almost couldn't hold it in.
How could he forget to put away the notebook!
Now, Xiao Jiwu can only take the blame for him.
Prince Xiao was quite calm. Hearing this, he still maintained a composed expression and replied, "I have nothing to do, so I just took a look."
Without waiting for Xiao Jinchen to respond, Xiao Jiwu continued, "Brother, do you have anything else to do? If not, please go back. It's getting late, and we have to go hunting tomorrow. Why don't you go back and rest early?"
Xiao Jiwu's intention to drive people away was too obvious, and Xiao Jinchen naturally understood it. There was a gloomy look on his face for a moment, but he suppressed his emotions and didn't show any more.
He forced himself to maintain his expression and finally said, "Then Third Brother, have a good rest. See you in the paddock tomorrow."
After saying that, Xiao Jinchen turned around and walked out with a sullen face.
Just then, Zhao Mingde brought in some tea. When he saw Xiao Jinchen's expression, he quickly lowered his head and bowed.
After Xiao Jinchen had completely left the tent, he raised his head again, walked to the desk and put down the tea: "Your Highness."
Xiao Jiwu's eyes fell on the wooden box that Xiao Jinchen had sent him, and he ordered in a cold voice, "Take it down and burn it."
"Yes." Zhao Mingde quickly agreed and went out with the box again...
