Less than three years after he was held hostage, he received news that his mother had passed away.
He was shocked and suspicious, so he asked his confidant to inquire and found out that after he left, his mother became depressed. His father had some patience to coax her at first, but soon he favored a new beauty.
The emperor and empress were deeply in love in the past, but after the death of the crown prince, their true colors were quickly revealed.
Later, he vaguely felt that perhaps his father and mother had never been a compatible pair, simply because his mother was the original wife and he was the legitimate heir, and his father was still relatively young and always had to consider his reputation and face, especially when he was often known as a genius, he could not show any jealousy or displeasure, and could only force himself to be happy, like a loving father and a filial son.
"Do you remember the Hong Li Po I mentioned when I asked you to tell my fortune?" the prince asked slowly.
There wasn't even a hint of resentment in his tone.
"Of course I remember. Hongli Po can restrain poisons. If Your Highness wants to use it, it means that his body was already at the end of its strength and he would not live long." Xiao Cunyu ate with great satisfaction.
"That's right. Everyone thought that the poison in my body was in Changguo, but they didn't know..." Ying Huaiji was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to say so much to him.
Xiao Qi is not the man at the center of this vortex, so there is no need for him to listen to these disgusting things.
"Thanks to you, otherwise I would have to live on in the house." Ying Huaiji smiled and changed the subject.
If there is wine in front of me, I will definitely toast Xiao Qi.
"Why do you only tell half of what you say?" Xiao Cunyu curled his lips. "Why can't you say it? Even if you don't say it, I can guess. Have you forgotten what I do? I'm very good at guessing the truth."
The old emperor dislikes his own son so much, maybe he doesn't want him to return safely from Changguo at all!
You must have been assassinated many times along the way, right?
And it would take several waves of people, including King Rui, the Emperor, and the enemies of Changguo, none of them would want him to die.
"Seventh Young Master is certainly powerful, but seeing that you are naturally unruly, I don't want to talk about this matter and add to the trouble." Ying Huaiji's eyes were somewhat doting, and he didn't even realize it.
"You're so polite! Actually, I wouldn't mind you saying that." Xiao Cunyu said ruthlessly, "This young master never looks back. I just hope you have a bright future ahead of you."
Ying Huaiji was stunned.
His words seemed ruthless and distant, but they were heartwarming.
He even felt a little stubborn, not wanting the person in front of him to think he was passive and useless. After a moment of silence, he said silently, "He wants to destroy me, but that's absolutely impossible. When I first came back, he was worried about his reputation and didn't make up his mind. He had already lost his only chance."
Five years is enough time for him to plan many things.
Whether it is to dig out the remaining spies of Changguo, or to place spies in the houses of his brothers, or even to gain the loyalty of some ministers, he has a lot in his hands.
Even by my father's side, there are his loyal servants.
His mother was the queen who was the mother of the country and his father's childhood sweetheart. Even though she had passed away, how could she leave nothing behind?
It's just that his body has not fully recovered yet and the time has not come yet, so he is willing to be a useless and cowardly prince.
Ying Huaiji smiled easily, but there was a hint of evil in his eyes.
He is not as gentle and harmless as he usually appears.
Xiao Cunyu knew that he was not as simple-minded as he appeared.
How naive he is, to have mastered martial arts right under the noses of the people of Changguo?
