Chapter 369 Don’t even think about taking anyone away!
"So what if this is Chenliu County? Do you still dare to attack this prince?
Everyone in the court knows that the prince and I are in Chenliu County. If anything happens to us here, no one in the Chenliu Palace will be able to escape and everyone will die!"
Qiu Lei was so angry that his face turned blue, and he wished he could draw his sword and chop the ignorant prince in front of him to death.
He stared at Luo Yechen's arrogant face and grinned.
"Alright! Since you insist on taking the lead on behalf of the Crown Prince, then I will oblige you. Come, invite the Crown Prince to the palace as a guest!"
Immediately, people from the Chixiao Army rushed forward and tried to capture the eldest prince.
Luo Yechen didn't expect the other party to start fighting as soon as he said so. He was immediately frightened and hurriedly stepped back, shouting at the same time.
"Zhao Xian! Come and save me!"
Zhao Xian led the Yulin Guards and rushed forward to protect the eldest prince.
Zhao Xian said sternly, "Second Young Master, how dare you attack the eldest prince? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Emperor?!"
Qiu Lei: "I just want to invite the eldest prince to visit the palace. Is this a crime?"
Luo Yechen was hiding behind Zhao Xian. When he heard Qiu Lei's shameless remarks, he immediately stuck his head out and yelled.
"Bullshit! You just want to do something bad to me!"
Qiu Lei said coldly, "If you want to talk about evil intentions, you were the first to do it. If the prince hadn't deliberately harmed my father, I wouldn't bother wasting time with you. Now I will give you two choices. Either you hand over the prince, or you hand over the eldest prince to me."
Luo Yechen was afraid that he would be handed over, so he quickly retracted his head.
Zhao Xian said without hesitation: "Whether it is the Crown Prince or the First Prince, don't even think about taking any of them away!"
When Qiu Lei heard this, a strong sense of hostility emerged in his eyes.
"I have already given you the opportunity to choose, but you didn't cherish it. Don't blame me for being ruthless. Someone, take the eldest prince away!"
He didn't care whether the crown prince was really not in the palace or just pretending, as long as he could take the eldest prince away, the crown prince would definitely show up.
The crown prince killed his father, so he took the eldest prince as a hostage. That's fair!
Under the command of Qiu Lei, the Chixiao Army rushed forward without hesitation and fought with the Yulin Guards.
Zhao Xian winked at a Yulin Guard beside him.
The Yulin Guard received the hint and quietly slipped away during the chaos.
He had to find the prince, tell him the situation here, and let him make preparations in advance.
Luo Yechen was frightened by the violent scene in front of him. He hurriedly retreated, trying to find a safe place to hide.
However, Qiu Lei stared at him, and before he could retreat far, he was surrounded by Qiu Lei's men.
Zhao Xian wanted to lead his men to rush over to rescue him, but the Chi Xiao soldiers were too numerous and powerful. Zhao Xian and others were restrained by other Chi Xiao soldiers and could not get close to the eldest prince.
They could only watch helplessly as the eldest prince was taken away by the Chixiao Army.
The eldest prince was thrown into the carriage, and the carriage started to move forward.
Luo Yechen stuck his head out of the car window and roared heartbreakingly.
“Save me!!”
Zhao Xian wanted to chase after them, but was blocked by the Chixiao Army.
Qiu Lei sneered, "You can't go anywhere until the prince shows up."
This time he brought 5,000 Chixiao soldiers, 4,000 of whom were left near the palace to supervise everyone in the palace to prevent them from running out and informing the emperor, thereby attracting reinforcements from the court.
Qiu Lei returned to the palace with a thousand Chixiao soldiers.
Inside the palace.
Qiu Yuan was discussing the next plan with the man in blue.
The trusted steward hurried in and whispered, "Sir, the second young master is back!"
Qiu Yuan asked, "Did the Second Young Master bring the Crown Prince back?"
"No, the second young master said that he didn't find the crown prince, but he brought back the eldest prince."
Qiu Yuan was stunned, as if he had not expected such a development.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the man in green.
The man in green smiled and said, "Second Master is such an interesting person!"
"He's always like this, he does things without thinking."
Qiu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little irritated when he said this. He frowned and asked, "If there is no prince, the next plan will be difficult to carry out."
The young man in blue said slowly, "The prince should still be in the city. Have people seal the city gates, allowing only people to enter but not leave. Then, search the entire city in the name of catching an assassin, and you should be able to find him.
If you really can't find anyone, you can have someone spread the news that the eldest prince is seriously ill and is recuperating in the palace.
Once the prince knows about this, he will probably try to find a way to rescue them. As long as we make arrangements in advance, we can catch them in a trap."
Qiu Yuan said doubtfully, "Will the Crown Prince really take risks for the eldest prince? I heard that the relationship between the eldest prince and the Crown Prince is not very good. They even had a lot of conflicts in their fight for the position of Crown Prince."
Qiu Yuan judges others by himself. If his brother was kidnapped, he would definitely not risk his life to save him.
What about brotherhood? In the face of power struggle, it is nothing but a joke.
The young man in green said leisurely, "The crown prince left the palace with the eldest prince this time. If the eldest prince died in Chenliu County, the crown prince would have a hard time explaining himself when he returned. And I always feel that there may not be true feelings between the crown prince and the eldest prince. If the eldest prince really hated the crown prince, why would he do this for the crown prince? He even got himself arrested."
Qiu Yuan felt that his words made sense, so he nodded and said, "Then do as you say, and try to see if we can catch the prince. If these two methods don't work, we'll think of another way."
"Um."
…
At this time, the prince had no idea that someone was targeting him.
He was shopping with Xiao Xixi.
Xiao Xixi learned that tomorrow was the prince's birthday, and she wanted to prepare a birthday gift for him.
But she didn't know what to give?
Early this morning, she took the prince out shopping, wanting him to choose a gift by himself. She would give him whatever he liked.
However, Luo Qinghan had everything he needed, and as he walked along the way, he didn't like anything.
Xiao Xixi asked with a bitter face: "There are so many things, including food, daily necessities and clothes. Don't you have even one thing you like a little bit?"
Luo Qinghan uttered two words lightly.
"No."
"Your Highness, your standards should not be too high!"
Luo Qinghan didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
Xiao Xixi didn't want to return empty-handed, so she said simply, "Since Your Highness doesn't have anything you like, then let me help you choose one. But I've got to make it clear in advance that no matter what I buy, you are not allowed to refuse!"
Luo Qinghan: "Yeah."
Xiao Xixi continued to stroll around.
She looked left and right, calculating silently in her mind.
This was her first time giving the prince a birthday present, so she had to choose a gift that had good meaning, was unique, easy to carry, and most importantly, not too expensive!
