"Actually, you already have no way out. When you discussed poisoning him with your mother, did you not expect that the Xin family would collapse one day?"
Xiao Yi Bei raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion and anger. "I didn't, I didn't poison him!" I don't know about that... I only learned later that Mother poisoned him. "
He remembered how shocked he had been when he first discovered that the empress had poisoned the emperor's diet. But the empress looked at him with disdain, saying that the emperor had long had the heart to cripple him. Don't think that he was still sitting in the position of crown prince, but he was actually just a puppet in the Eastern Palace.
The emperor didn't cripple him because he wanted his Eastern Palace to become the target of public criticism. Everyone's attention was focused on him.
And in the heart of the Emperor, there was someone else who wanted to help him obtain the position of Emperor.
After Xiao Yi Bei learned of this, he collapsed in grief and indignation. He did not dare to believe that being in the imperial family, even the last trace of his kinship would be obliterated. royal father was only using him, but mother secretly harmed royal father in order to push him to the throne … Husband and wife, father and son, brothers, all of them were using this opportunity, scheming and framing.
He had tacitly consented to the Empress's poisoning of the Emperor in his repeated torments and reflections, and from then on he no longer believed in human nature.
So even if Du Ying was pregnant with his child, he didn't have much of a nostalgia for her.
"I don't have any value left now. Xiao Yi Xiu, what are you going to cooperate with me for?"
Xiao Yi Xiu didn't answer, but took out a yellow stone inscription from his sleeve and held it up, facing Xiao Yi Bei.
"Ah Yan gave it to you?" Xiao Yi Bei's face became even paler.
He suddenly laughed, "I understand, you can't use this seal to mobilize all of the Xin family's forces and assets. My mother is a person that even her own son cannot be completely trusted with. I also have one side to this seal, and if it wasn't for her direct secret order, both sides of the seal would have been useful. "
"You have no choice."
Xiao Yi Bei laughed loudly.
A gentle knock sounded on the door.
Outside, Suifeng's urgent voice could be heard. "Madam Wu said you can't enter …"
"Let her in."
Xiao Yi Xiu had just finished speaking when the door was pushed open. Wu Yu stood there with a cute smile on his face.
Suifeng was flustered and exasperated. Beside him stood Cheng Yingzhi, with a satisfied smile on her face. There was no need to ask, she already knew that after being distracted by Cheng Ying's trick, his reaction wasn't slow. Very soon, he came back to her senses and tried to stop her.
"Your Highness, this is …" Wu Yu walked in curiously and even tried to get closer.
Xiao Yi Bei suddenly smiled at her. His snow-white teeth shone with a brilliant light, and his eyes contained a primitive hunger. He was like a jackal that had been starved for a long time, causing people to feel terrified.
Wu Yu was shocked and retreated a few steps with a pale face.
"Heh heh …" Xiao Yi and Bei Zhen were ready to fight. The droplets of saliva that dripped from their mouths looked even more ferocious.
Wu Yu asked with a pale face, "About this …" Your Highness, is this a madman? "
Cheng Ying He also walked in. She was slightly bolder and furrowed her eyebrows as she sized up Xiao Yi Bei. Her eyes flickered as she judged if his abnormality was real or not.
Gu Qingli hung her eyes on his pulse, remaining calm and collected.
"Shut up, don't be rude. This is the Second Prince, Xiao Yi Bei." Xiao Yi Xiu reprimanded him coldly.
Cheng Ying's face fell and then asked in confusion: "Isn't that the crown prince? How to... It became like this? "
Gu Qing Li answered in place of Xiao Yi, "He is currently delirious, and his memories have disappeared. Perhaps he subconsciously thinks that he is a hungry wild beast, so he is very aggressive …"
She glanced at Cheng Ying Zhi, "It's best not to get too close to him. Don't look at how tied he is, before he lost his mind, his skills were pretty good. If he really wants to break free, I'm afraid this rope won't be able to tie him up."
Cheng Yingzhi imperceptibly moved further away, her eyes drooping in thought.
"The emperor asked His Highness to bring him back to the Mo King Manor so that this side of the imperial concubine could wholeheartedly treat him and see if he could return to normal. Alright, let's not disturb his rest any longer. This wangfei will also have to open a prescription for the medicine. "
Cheng Ying Zhi and Wu Yun had no choice but to follow Xiao Yi Xiu out and listen to his orders, "Find someone to guard this place well. Without the instruction of me and the secondary prince, no one is allowed to enter."
On the hazy autumn night, for the first time, Xiao Yixiu stayed in the rainy pavilion.
The last two days had been much calmer and there was nothing out of the ordinary about it.
Since Cheng Ying had entered the palace, she didn't seem to be disappointed at all to have to face the sleepless night for the first time ever. In fact, when the brocade lady came to tell her that Xiao Yixiu wasn't coming tonight, she was still sitting upright with a book in her hand. Her eyes were filled with anxiety, but her expression was as calm as she could be.
Jinshu looked at her furtively as she passed the message.
Ever since this Lady Cheng had infiltrated the estate, she had been pampered night and night, and her attitude was arrogant. She had never placed her in her eyes, and her words were often sarcastic and unkind. If it weren't for the fact that she had served Xiao Yi since the palace, she would have already been sold off.
Recently, the pretty girl seemed to have become more sincere. After being scolded by Cheng Ying, her words became much more restrained than before.
"You're still not going out?" Cheng Ying Zhi realized that she was still bowing.
"Oh …" "Yes."
The pretty girl seemed to have something on her mind. She then came back to her senses and slowly walked out. She was hesitating and a little unhappy.
Cheng Ying Zhi gave a look, and Hui Qiao followed him out, "Jin Shu jie-jie, I'll send you out."
Hui Ying was different from Cheng Ying, she was a clever girl, diligent, likeable and docile, otherwise she wouldn't have been favored by the picky and unkind Cheng Ying.
"Elder sister, do you have something on your mind?"
"Sigh!" You don't know, you get scared every night at this hour. "
"Afraid?" Hui Qiao's eyes widened as she subconsciously turned around to look at Yu Lanxuan.
When he first entered the mansion, all sorts of rumors floated in his mind. Wu Yu's first night's experience was still fresh in his mind, and when he remembered that Xiao Yi Xiu wouldn't be here tonight, he couldn't help but rub his goosebumps. He whispered: "This row of houses …" "Indeed, it gives people goosebumps. How long will it take for the Tung Moon Pavilion to be completed?"
In order to keep the palace solemn and quiet, the construction work for the Moon Parasol Pavilion and the Moon Birch Pavilion would stop as soon as dusk fell. They were absolutely unwilling to make it in half an hour. At this rate, they would still have to stay in the Rainwave Pavilion for a month.
"It's fine here. It's obvious that Lady Wu is secretly suspicious. What's happening is in the front yard." Jinshu sighed. The front courtyard she was referring to was naturally Feng Qingxuan.
"What can happen there?"
Jin Shu looked around at the crowd, and then quietly moved closer to Hui Qiao. "Don't tell anyone. If the Prince finds out that I have disrespected the Second Prince, he will definitely reprimand me."
Something to do with the Second Prince? Hui Qiao nodded her head and opened her eyes wide as she listened to her story.
"Every night at this time, Rui Zhu should have fried the medicine and sent it over. I have to feed it to the Second Prince for him to take the medicine. "You don't know how terrifying he is, last night when Yu Ying fed him, he bit her. The back of his hand was dripping with blood, and there's a thick layer of bandage on it, and she's still bleeding even now."
"Huh?"
"The Second Prince has gone completely mad. When he first arrived, his food was considered to be easy, but he always seems to be very hungry …" "But it's not normal when it's night time, especially when the moon is full. He often looks out the window at the moons howling …"
