The man with eyes full of anger suddenly sat back down like a deflated ball.
Guangping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The princess's temper is very different now than before.
If the prince really went to question them now, it would only make the relationship between them more tense, even to the point where it could not be repaired.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor just fainted!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xian temporarily suppressed the stagnant emotions in his heart, frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything unusual?"
"The Second and Fourth Princes have been guarding outside the Emperor's tent. As for the Eighth Prince, he only stood there for a short while before leaving!"
Xiao Xian nodded.
Emperor Kang fainted. The incident during the royal hunting trip was something they had planned long ago in order to force Xiao Zhao to reveal his true identity.
"Where's Xiao Zhao?"
"The eldest prince has not made any unusual moves at the moment."
Xiao Xian stroked the jade ring on his hand, squinting his eyes thoughtfully.
Guangping did not disturb him, but sat quietly beside him.
Seeing him stand up again, Guangping followed him.
"Your Highness, are you going to visit the Emperor?"
"Go see Qu Li."
He always felt that Xiao Zhao would not make any unusual moves, so he should go and talk to Qu Li first.
"You said that Xiao Zhao hasn't made any unusual moves until now?" Qu Li couldn't help but raise his voice.
Their initial assumption was that since Xiao Zhao had given Emperor Kang a chronic poison, he would definitely take action after Emperor Kang fainted.
But now he doesn't show any abnormality, which is intriguing.
Xiao Xian looked at Qu Li, whose brows were furrowed and eyes were full of thought, and the urge to ask her what was going on between her and Feng Yi became stronger and stronger.
"Li'er!"
Qu Li didn't notice that he was hesitant to speak, and when he raised his eyes again, his expression became extremely solemn.
"Find someone you trust and tell the Second and Fourth Princes that Xiao Zhao in Jing'an Temple is a substitute!"
She thought calmly about what she would do if she were Xiao Zhao.
She noticed that the man in front of her was absent-minded, and there was a hint of impatience in her beautiful eyes.
"Xiao Xian, what are you thinking about?"
What Xiao Xian was thinking about was how deep her friendship with Feng Yi was, and whether she would really do what she said and leave him completely.
These messy thoughts, like thorns growing wildly, entangled and tightened his heart bit by bit, so that he felt pain even in breathing.
"Li'er!" He couldn't help but grab Qu Li's hand with great force, "Don't leave me!"
It was clearly a very domineering statement, but coupled with his pitiful look, it left Qu Li speechless.
They stared at each other for a while, then Qu Li raised her hand and brushed his hand away little by little.
The smoothness in his palm disappeared, and Xiao Xian's eyes were filled with boundless sorrow.
How did things turn out like this?
Is he really going to lose her?
Qu Li took a half step back, his eyes gloomy and cold: "Xiao Xian, don't forget what you said before! I thought you were a man with clear mind! Even though you are a scumbag, blind and have done many stupid things, only you can manage this Da Gan well!"
Xiao Zhao was an ambitious, vindictive, and intolerant man.
If such a person were to become an emperor, he would be a tyrant!
As for Xiao Ci and Xiao Rui, these two are not good guys either. Among the short guys, only Xiao Xian is okay!
Xiao Xian felt extremely bitter after being scolded by her harsh words.
"Should I be happy? At least in your eyes, I'm not really useless?"
Qu Li did not answer.
Their ending was destined from the moment she traveled through time. It wasn't that Xiao Xian treated her well, and it couldn't be easily rewritten by sincere repentance!
As for her and Feng Yi...
He helped her so many times without asking for anything in return, and she really didn't know what kind of feelings she had for him.
Her eyes moved outside the tent, watching the sky gradually darken, she thought to herself.
Perhaps she will just concentrate on her career in the future, and the little ripples Feng Yi has stirred up in her heart will eventually calm down completely when he returns to Southern Qi!
Xiao Xian's eyes were fixed on Qu Li's face. Seeing her expression suddenly become gentle, with his man's intuition, he was sure that she was thinking of Feng Yi at that moment!
His heart was filled with dense jealousy, making his eyes bloodshot.
Feeling the change in the aura around him, Qu Li slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at him with inquiring eyes.
Meeting her beautiful eyes, Xiao Xian clenched his fists.
From childhood to adulthood, the thing he least believed in was fate!
He still has a chance!
"I'll let Aqi do it!" After saying that, he looked at her deeply and walked away.
Soon, Xiao Ci and Xiao Ruibian received the news that Xiao Zhao was not in Jing'an Temple.
The two people had almost the same idea, so the two groups secretly approached Jing'an Temple.
In order to kidnap the person, the two groups cooperated in a rare act of unanimity.
"Second brother, fourth brother, what do you mean?"
When Xiao Zhao was tied up and brought to the southern suburbs villa, many people were shocked.
Considering that Emperor Kang is now in a coma, some people even wonder if Xiao Zhao had poisoned Emperor Kang. Otherwise, why would Xiao Ci and Xiao Rui tie him up here?
"Mother!" Xiao Ci clasped his hands together, "I just heard from my eighth brother that my eldest brother didn't reflect on his mistakes properly at Jing'an Temple! So, I sent someone to invite my eldest brother here!"
At a time like this, it was natural to step on someone whenever possible, so Xiao Rui temporarily put aside his grudges and added, "If it is really because of my eldest brother that my father fell into a coma, then that is truly an unforgivable crime!"
Xiao Zhao narrowed his eyes, a sneer on his lips.
"What do my second and fourth brothers mean? I stayed in Jing'an Temple and sincerely repented, so how could I have harmed my father?" Xiao Zhao looked puzzled.
"Brother, are you truly and sincerely repentant?" Xiao Ci sneered.
Today, my father brought his mother here, which means that his mother's status in his heart has surpassed that of the queen.
Xiao Zhao's brows furrowed, his eyes darkening. "Second brother, what do you mean? Did you do something to our father and are deliberately trying to shift the blame onto me?"
The other court officials listened to the quarrel between the two and dared only lower their heads without saying a word.
Xiao Ci came forward, staring at him without blinking, and smiled meaningfully: "Brother, are you really my brother?"
These words made the faces of the court officials who were listening with their ears pricked up change.
If this person is not the eldest prince, then who is he?
Feeling everyone's gaze, Xiao Zhao raised the corner of his mouth sinisterly, and asked word by word: "Second brother, if I am not the eldest brother, who do you say I am?"
Xiao Ci also smiled coldly: "You are just a substitute! The emperor ordered my brother to reflect on his mistakes in Jing'an Temple, but my brother was secretly plotting against me! I think the reason why the emperor is in a coma is that my brother has angered the gods!"
