Chapter 260 The Fifth Prince Leaves the Palace

Walking up to the Moon Viewing Tower, Chu Yuanyi saw his brother standing by the side overlooking the entire palace.

From here, you can see the night view of the entire palace, which is very beautiful.

But Chu Yuanyi is tired of it, he has seen the scenery here countless times.

When he walked up, he saw Chu Yuanheng in black clothes, the night wind blew his clothes and black hair up, he stood there, his back was extremely lonely.

The brother seemed to be lonely, he did everything very measured, which made people feel very safe.

Since childhood, the brother has protected them, and sometimes when they got into trouble, it was the brother who helped to plead in front of the father.

However, he seemed to have never done anything for the brother.

Chu Yuanheng heard no footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he knew that it was Chu Yuanyi who came.

"How did you get up here?"

Actually, he didn't tell the truth. He ran up here because he saw his brother up there.

He leaned sideways and used his cloak to block the wind blade. He felt his mouth stiffen.

Chu Yuanyi looked at Chu Yuanheng on the side and stayed with him silently for a while, but he couldn't be expressionless like Chu Yuanheng.

"You can't get some fresh air, why did you run up here?"

Chu Yuanheng heard this and chuckled: "Yeah, it's cold up there."

The other princes were a little bit scared of Chu Yuanheng, but Chu Yuanyi wasn't. He had always looked at him like that since he was a child.

Compared to the other princes, he was closer to his brother.

Chu Yuanyi was speechless: "I don't know why it's so cold up there. It's like a knife. If I had known, I wouldn't have come up."

When Chu Yuanyi was young, he fell into the water once. It was Chu Yuanheng who jumped down and picked him up. Otherwise, he could have gone to see King Yan that time.

"Royal brother, let's go down. It's too cold here."

Chu Yuanheng retracted his gaze, glanced at Chu Yuanyi who was about to be frozen, and nodded: "Let's go!"

Chu Yuanyi walked forward and stood beside Chu Yuanheng.

"This year is New Year's Eve. Why don't we go see the emperor together? I wonder if the emperor is awake?"

From that day on, he was more attached to Chu Yuanheng, and became a typical follower of Chu Yuanheng.

Chu Yuanyi stood there for a while, and he felt that his whole face was frozen. He didn't know how the emperor could stay there for so long?

"Royal brother, it's too cold here."

The climate in Western Chu is cold. The wind blowing on the body at night is like ice knives cutting through the body. People rarely come to the platform.

If Chu Yuanheng hadn't come up, he would not come up to blow the wind in the middle of the night!

Chu Yuanheng knew that the fifth day after the Chinese New Year would be the day when dark clouds covered the moon. He would be here to absorb the fortune of Western Chu.

"I saw my royal brother's guards, and after asking, I learned that my royal brother was up there, so I came to accompany you."

He took a last look at the platform and spoke to Chu Yuanyi.

Chu Yuanyi certainly had no objection. The two brothers sat by their father's bed and talked about some interesting stories.

Most of them were said by the fifth prince, and Chu Yuanheng listened and occasionally expressed some opinions.

The New Year passed, and in a blink of an eye, five days had passed.

This morning, Chu Yuanyi ran over again to accompany Chu Yuanheng for dinner.

Chu Yuanheng found that Chu Yuanyi had been coming to him every day in the past few days.

He had breakfast with him every day, which had never happened before.

He couldn't help asking, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Chu Yuanyi shook his head, "No, I just don't want to eat alone, it's boring, so I came to have breakfast with you."

"Brother, are you asking me this because you don't welcome me?"

Chu Yuanheng looked at his fifth brother deeply and said nothing.

At the end of the day, Chu Yuanyi found that Chu Yuanheng went to Yu's study to read memorials as usual. The court

would continue on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and everything was normal.

He suspected that Qiao Niannian was lying. Her brother would never collude with the people of Tianxuanmen. Qiao Niannian must have miscalculated.

On this day, Chu Yuanyi followed Chu Yuanheng all the time, even when Chu Yuanheng was reviewing memorials.

Chu Yuanheng looked at him repeatedly.

"You used to dislike this the most, why are you patiently staying here with me today?"

"Do you really have nothing to say to me?"

Chu Yuanyi shook his head: "No."

He followed Chu Yuanheng just to see if what Qiao Niannian said was true or false?

Until Chu Yuanyi followed Chu Yuanheng back to the bedroom, Chu Yuanheng stood at the door, looking at Chu Yuanyi who was not ready to leave, and spoke lightly.

"Do you want to stay here and sleep?"

Chu Yuanyi realized that he had come to the door of his brother's East Palace.

It was all his fault that he was watching his brother too seriously along the way and didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment at all.

Being looked at by Chu Yuanheng, he felt uneasy. He smiled awkwardly, knowing that his behavior today must have aroused suspicion from his brother.

But he did not do anything to hurt his brother, so he felt at ease.

As for sleeping with his brother, forget it.

Chu Yuanyi smiled and said, "No, no, brother, go to bed early. I'm leaving first."

After that, Chu Yuanyi left quickly.

Chu Yuanheng took a deep look at the direction where Chu Yuanyi left, and had a guess in his heart.

Chu Yuanyi must have met Qiao Niannian and his group, and knew something.

However, Chu Yuanyi did not believe what Qiao Niannian said.

It must be said that Qiao Niannian is really capable. After all, she can guess that he will absorb the luck of Xichu today. It is really amazing.

Chu Yuanheng called the chief eunuch.

"Give orders to let the Fifth Prince go if he leaves the palace at night, and close the city gates after he is released. No one is allowed to enter the palace tonight."

The Chief Eunuch was stunned for a moment, then he realized, isn't this just not letting the Fifth Prince come back?

Before a prince is crowned as a king, he has no fiefdom, and no house outside. If the Fifth Prince doesn't come back tonight, he might have to sleep on the street.

However, the Chief Eunuch didn't dare to disobey the Crown Prince's order, and immediately went down to give the order.

Ever since the Emperor of Western Chu got into trouble, the Chief Eunuch has stayed by the side of the Crown Prince to serve him and help him deal with some affairs.

The Chief Eunuch thought that he had watched the Crown Prince grow up, but since the Emperor got into trouble, the Crown Prince has become more and more taciturn.

He, a eunuch who thought he was very good at dealing with people, couldn't guess what the Crown Prince was thinking.

The Fifth Prince returned to his bedroom, and just as he was about to go to bed, something fell off his body.

He opened it and saw that it was the note from his previous bet with Xia Rongyu. After seeing the note, the Fifth Prince suddenly became alert.

He put on his clothes again, and then asked someone to prepare a car. He was going to the inn.

His subordinates looked suspicious.

"Your Highness, it's so late, you still want to leave the palace?"

The Fifth Prince was excited. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were at stake, and he couldn't wait.

"Prepare it for me as soon as I ask you to. I want to leave the palace now."

Shi Wei didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately prepared a carriage for the Fifth Prince.

Although the city gate was restricted, he was the Fifth Prince and could leave the palace with a token in hand. He just needed to talk to the guards to reassure them.
