The prince spoke calmly, not causing anyone to overthink things.
Prince Rui felt even more upset and thought of the Wu family.
Who was his panacea before? Wu Yezhi, his study partner, his cousin, but now... something happened to the Wu family, and Wu Yezhi's medicine was no longer as valuable as before.
Even Wu Yezhi, who had once earned him some fame, had now become a burden.
It is unknown when the Wu family’s bad reputation can be cleared.
"Is the matter settled?" the prince asked again.
The two kings nodded, and King Qin immediately said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Third Brother. If you're feeling unwell, please go back and rest. I'll definitely take care of things here."
"I am at ease with your work." The prince glanced at King Qin. Even though he did not show off his power intentionally, King Qin felt that the prince was condescending.
Prince Qin was also somewhat envious of his elder brother, the Crown Prince.
Because he is gifted and has the appearance of a true dragon.
If other princes had been trapped in Changguo for ten years, they would surely have been in poor moral condition by now, but the crown prince is just in poor health. His father thinks he has no talent, but now that he has Lord Lin by his side, what talent can he not accumulate?
Moreover, the old ministers in the court who supported the prince were all upright people, and he and his third brother could not win them over even if they wanted to. The prince did nothing, but just because he was orthodox, smart since childhood, friendly, and handsome, he could make those people stand in his camp on their own initiative.
Even though he was in poor health and had a shameful past of ten years, others still protected him from losing his position as crown prince.
No matter how much your father dislikes the crown prince, he cannot simply depose him when he has done nothing wrong.
King Qin now only hopes that the prince will die soon.
Of course, you can't die at an inappropriate time. At least you have to live well now!
It would be just right to wait until his mother can seize the position of queen and then the prince dies. If the prince dies now, the third brother will be the legitimate heir, and by then, those old ministers might all side with the third brother.
"Mr. Xiao Qilang, are you free?" The prince walked to Xiao Cunyu and paused for a moment.
"Yes!" Xiao Cunyu was quite happy, but after she finished speaking, she remembered that Zhuang Jiu had abandoned her and left without any warning. He was really disloyal, so she suddenly became less happy. "I finally have time to sleep."
The prince was stunned for a moment.
"Then go ahead." King Qin said politely to Xiao Cunyu.
Xiao Cunyu bowed politely, then straightened his back and left.
Before leaving, he didn't even look at the prince.
This young master is free, but I won’t pay attention to you even if I’m free, humph.
The Crown Prince felt somewhat suffocated and felt a sense of loss. At this moment, Prince Rui smiled from behind him, "I thought the young master of the Xiao family was respectful and loyal to you. I didn't expect this brat to dare to refuse your invitation. He is truly... audacious! How could the Emperor tolerate such a character?"
"If I can tolerate you, how can others not tolerate it?" The prince looked at Prince Rui with ruthlessness and disgust.
Prince Rui was so frightened and angry that he almost choked even though he was trying to support the king.
As soon as the prince left, Prince Rui used so much strength to hold the teacup, and he endured so much resentment in his heart.
This useless prince is now humiliating him in front of others!
"I will not accompany my third brother. I still have to go to the palace to report to my father." Prince Qin said gloatingly.
Prince Rui's eyes were gloomy. "Fourth brother, you've been so busy lately. You're going to see the emperor every day or two to show your filial piety, right? Aren't you afraid that the emperor will get tired of you?"
