Xiao Cunyu was holding something sold in the Taoist temple, a small kite for children to play with, and a copper gourd and a Bagua mirror tucked into his waist.
"Mr. Xiao Qilang, the prince invites you!" The guard was quite polite.
"Which prince?" Xiao Cunyu was confused.
"Of course it's His Royal Highness the King." The guard said with full energy.
Xiao Cunyu nodded.
To support the king...why did he look for her? Xiao Cunyu was confused. Then he thought about what happened today and had some guesses. But he didn't care and just followed them.
Prince Rui and Prince Qin are the princes who are most keen on competing for the throne. Especially recently, Prince Rui has suffered a series of defeats, and Prince Qin must be extremely happy.
He was particularly happy to catch the flaws of King Rui.
In the past, Prince Rui had the Queen's support, so he was naturally extremely noble. But now the Queen is under house arrest, and the harem is managed by Concubine Rou and Concubine Yu, the mother of the Second Prince. Many people in the court follow suit, and the forces supporting the King are growing stronger.
Xiao Cunyu could not understand the idea of defending the king.
Since ancient times, when choosing a crown prince, it is either the legitimate wife or the eldest son. How could it be the favorite?
The Crown Prince is both the legitimate heir and the eldest son. Even if he does die young, it should be the turn of the third son, Prince Rui. If Prince Rui is not qualified, then the second prince will be the next. Prince Qin? Go to the back row...
Unless, Concubine Rou can kill the Queen and take the throne herself.
Xiao Cunyu was lost in thought all the way and soon arrived at the residence of the King Qin.
Sure enough, just as she thought, the old lady of the Duan family was actually captured, with the two maids kneeling beside her. Prince Rui sat aside with a sullen face, while Prince Qin was much more proud.
Only the Crown Prince and these two princes participated in this charity.
The prince was familiar with the abbot of Nantai Temple and came here after receiving an invitation.
Prince Rui was looking for an opportunity to restore his reputation, but Prince Qin, seeing that Prince Rui had come, of course wanted to get involved as well, which led to this charity being held on a grand scale.
Xiao Cunyu performed the ceremony obediently.
Prince Qin looked at him with a particularly kind gaze: "Seventh Prince Xiao, you don't have to be afraid. I called you here today to verify something."
"These two old women told me that the old lady of the Duan family made wild claims, saying that Prince Rui will be able to ascend the throne and become emperor. Is that true?" Prince Qin asked again.
Prince Rui's eyes were cold and indifferent: "Master Xiao Qilang, please think carefully before you speak. The lives of the entire Duan family are in your hands!"
How could Xiao Cunyu not understand this threat?
"Third brother, what you said is not right." Before Xiao Cunyu could reply, the prince walked in.
No one reported anything, so we had a smooth journey.
There was no way. After all, he was the prince. If he didn't allow the guards to speak, those guards would not dare to disobey even if they had ten times the courage.
"The lives of the Duan family are in their own hands. What does it have to do with Xiao Qi? No matter what he says, it is all the Duan family's own business." The prince stepped forward. Although King Qin was reluctant, he still gave up the main seat and sat aside honestly.
When Xiao Cunyu heard the prince's voice, he subconsciously looked up.
This person seems to be in good condition.
He was wearing a purple-gold crown on his head today, with flowing black hair behind his neck, looking quiet and natural. The purple clothes he wore were embroidered with dragon patterns, making him look even more majestic and dignified.
His face reminded Xiao Cunyu of the bright moon outside. It was just as clear and cold as a painting, like a watercolor painting, hard to look away.
It looks really good.
"Brother Crown Prince is right. I was angered by what this old woman said and became confused. Xiao Qi, just tell the truth."
