Minister Xiao pondered for a moment and was about to tell the truth, but Xiao Jingyun suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes and took the initiative to ask, "What method are you going to use, Your Highness?"
Xiao Jingyun admitted that he had some selfish motives.
When his seventh brother was still a man, he made many people happy and liked. His classmate Zhuang Jiulang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all expressed special feelings for him.
What would you do if you suddenly found out that your seventh brother was actually a girl?
After escaping the fate of being a consort, what else could he do? With his seventh brother's reputation, could he become a crown princess? If the crown prince were to change his mind and take her into his palace as a concubine, how could his seventh brother be willing to accept it?
If...if Seventh Brother really has feelings for the Crown Prince in the future, he will confess honestly and it won't be his turn to speak.
As for the crime of deceiving the emperor...
He will make up for it with his merits.
"Although the emperor has granted the marriage, fourth brother will not let it go given his temper. My second sister always competes with the third sister. She must be unwilling to let this marriage be snatched away by the third sister. I'm sure there will be some trouble soon. The Xiao family can just sit back and watch the fight. Within a month, this marriage will be resolved." Ying Huaiji said confidently.
He knew very well the personalities of his royal brothers and sisters.
Le Yi and Bao Yi could cause such a big fuss just to fight over a pot of flowers. Now that Bao Yi has such a satisfactory husband, how can Le Yi be happy?
If we allow these two imperial sisters to make trouble, it will be a loss of reputation for the royal family.
However, the royal reputation is not that important to him now.
After hearing what the prince said, Xiao Jingyun was also very surprised: "In this case... Your Majesty's majesty is..."
"Since you two have come here, there are some things I don't need to avoid you anymore. If you want Mr. Xiao Qi to keep his name clean, you shouldn't care about other things. Besides, my father is obsessed with beauty all day long. The so-called majesty has long been like dust on paper, which will disappear with a light blow." Ying Huaiji's words were really sincere. If he was not in front of someone he trusted, he would never be so straightforward.
Minister Xiao thought about it more and asked tentatively, "When I saw Your Highness today, I noticed that your face looked rosy and your breathing was calm. I wonder how your condition is progressing?"
"I have to thank Xiao Qilang for my illness. As early as last year, he gave me some advice, and I got a treasure that can cure diseases in Lianhuazhai. I can say that I saved my life and I am fine now." Ying Huaiji said truthfully.
The subtle wrinkles on Minister Xiao's face instantly tightened, making him look several years younger. "So... Your Highness... no longer has to worry about a short life?"
"That's right." Ying Huaiji nodded. "Although I was under close surveillance in Changguo, I was able to stay safe thanks to the protection of my mother's family."
Minister Xiao was extremely shocked, yet also extremely excited.
The Crown Prince is in good health, so why are the other princes fighting over him?!
"Your Highness, you have suffered a lot." Minister Xiao said sincerely. If Your Highness was not on guard against the Emperor, would he have to keep pretending?
I feel more at ease.
Your Highness is in good health, so after I come under your protection, I will no longer be in danger of losing my life every day.
"I'm fine." Ying Huaiji said, looking at Xiao Jingyun: "Master Xiao, do you think I look familiar?"
Xiao Jingyun was startled as he met the prince's eyes. Upon closer inspection, he did feel a sense of déjà vu, but he just couldn't place it. He was stunned, frowning...
"Your Highness... Your Highness and Zhuang Jiu... look a little alike." Cousins, it's normal to look alike, right?
Xiao Jingyun had some vague thoughts, but didn't dare to say them directly.
