Dongfang Xu's tone made Xiyue hesitate a little, she couldn't tell whether the other party was annoyed or something else. The second prince and the crown prince grew up together, how deep is this brotherly love? If it had been before, Xiyue might have thought that the prince would be soft-hearted and couldn't do this, but now, ...... Should she go on?

"The second emperor's brother must have Concubine Mei's eyeliner by his side, don't say this kind of stupid thing in the future." Dongfang Xu glanced at her coldly, Xiyue was stunned, this is the prince's reason? Just because the second prince will have someone sent by Concubine Mei to protect him, he can't be moved?

Is it just because of this?

Xiyue looked deeply at the man in front of her, Dongfang Xu noticed her gaze, and frowned unhappily, "What?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that Xiyue has an idea to lure away the people around the second prince, but I don't know if His Highness can trust Xiyue." A deep smile appeared on Xiyue's face, Dongfang Xu's eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest, just looked at her so quietly, and finally turned around and stopped talking.

Is this the tacit approval of His Highness? Xiyue lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, "Xiyue will retire first." ”

The door creaked open, and when Xiyue raised her eyes, she saw Du Yuanxiu with a solemn face, and she was surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

Dongfang Xu turned around, Du Yuanxiu had already pushed Xiyue and stepped in, "Your Highness, you can't do anything to Your Second Highness!" ”

"What are you talking about? Hmph, didn't the crown princess see the appearance of the queen's mother? How can you still speak for the enemy now?! Xiyue's tone was filled with a thick rebuke, but Du Yuanxiu did not flinch in the slightest.

"Why do you want to provoke Your Highness? Do you want Your Highness to be an unrighteous person who kills his brother?! ”

"Joke, have you ever heard that being merciful to the enemy is cruelty to yourself? Or does the crown princess want to wait until the second prince makes a move on His Royal Highness, and then regret it? ”

Du Yuanxiu's eyes flickered a little, she glanced at Dongfang Xu, only to see that the other party's expression was faint, and she couldn't see the slightest emotion, she still refused to believe that His Royal Highness would agree to such a thing.

"Your Highness, the concubine knows that the matter of the queen mother has dealt a big blow to His Royal Highness, but the concubine believes that the queen mother definitely does not want His Royal Highness to do this! The concubine also believes that maybe the Second Highness has some kind of hardship......"

"Bitter? Which side of the concubine is the mother? When will the relationship with the Second Highness be so good? Could it be that the side concubine Niangniang wants to say that the queen will end up where she is now, and the second highness doesn't know anything about it? What kind of unrighteous people do you say, the Second Highness wants to compete for the crown prince now, he doesn't think about brotherhood, why does His Highness still care about so many useless things?! Xiyue felt that Du Yuanxiu in front of him was really stupid, only ruthless people can stand at the top in this world, what kind of brotherhood, it is all used to deceive three-year-old children.

Besides, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in such a situation, she may be pulled down by the second prince at any time, and she doesn't believe that Concubine Mei will spare His Royal Highness lightly.

"That's enough, you get out!"

Dongfang Xu suddenly drank coldly, and his cold gaze shot at Xiyue, he didn't want to hear those words.

The words that disturbed his mind.

Xiyue restrained her expression, glanced at Du Yuanxiu with disdain, and bowed to Dongfang Xu and retreated.

"Your Highness...... The concubine just didn't want to see His Royal Highness's expression of regret......" Du Yuanxiu's voice was a little pleading, her heart trembled gently, she didn't feel Dongfang Xu's changes in the past few days, and she also understood that after going through so many things, it would inevitably have an impact on the prince.

It's just that she feels that at this moment, it is more necessary for someone to support His Highness and give His Highness the correct construction. She believes that Dongfang Xu is definitely not the kind of person who disregards brotherhood.

"You mean, the main temple will regret it?" Dongfang Xu's eyes were a little dangerous, regret? There are so many things he regrets......

Du Yuanxiu was shocked, she looked at the man in front of her, and felt so strange.

No, I can't hold back at this time.

"Yes! Your Highness will definitely regret it! ”

The woman in front of him, that persistent gaze touched Dongfang Xu's heart, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.

Constantly recalling the words of the queen mother at that time, she asked herself to beware of the second emperor's brother, at that time, she obviously didn't believe it, but now...... Now he has no reason to convince himself. Concubine Mei is the biological mother of the second emperor's brother, when she wants to attack the queen mother, will the second emperor's brother not know? The queen mother has always regarded him as her own, but how did he choose?

Dongfang Xu's heart ached faintly, and the struggle over the past few days made him more and more suspicious of Dongfang Rui. The other party never took the initiative to find him from beginning to end, even if it was a half-sentence explanation, Dongfang Xu felt that he would believe him.

Has he changed, or has the second emperor's brother changed?

Seeing that Dongfang Xu's eyes seemed to be hesitant, Du Yuanxiu raised a glimmer of hope again, "Your Highness, maybe the second prince was used?" Concubine Mei ...... The concubine thought that this qiē was probably done by Concubine Mei, she wanted to use the second prince to attack His Royal Highness, she wanted His Royal Highness to become a ruthless and unrighteous person......"

Du Yuanxiu's mood gradually became clear, no matter what kind of ambition the second prince had, Du Yuanxiu did not want to see Dongfang Xu embark on that road of no return.

She believes that things will always turn around, but once people's hearts change, there is no way to get it back.

"Why do you believe so much that a person would do something to his wife?"

After a long time, Dongfang Xu said calmly. Du Yuanxiu raised her eyes in surprise, she immediately understood the meaning of Dongfang Xu's words, he was referring to Wu Huiyun, the second imperial concubine......

This is also one of the reasons why Dongfang Xu is shaken, he can't understand that a person who will add fists and kicks to his wife will not care about brotherhood, mother and son.

“…… The concubine did not believe in the second prince, but in His Royal Highness. ”

Du Yuanxiu's voice, with a strong hope, Dongfang Xu's eyes flashed, and finally slowly turned around and stopped looking at her, "You stand down." ”

"Your Highness......"

However, the man no longer responded to her, and Du Yuanxiu lowered his eyes in frustration, "The concubine is retired." ”

Dongfang Xu was the only one left in the study, he closed his eyes irritably, but Du Yuanxiu's words kept echoing in his ears...... He knew that it was a choice, a choice for his life.

He didn't know whether he should trust Dongfang Rui or not, because there were too many things that made him suspicious. When did it start that I had such a change? Is it after the crippled mother? Or when my father went west? Or was it after the people of the Nalan family were poisoned one by one?

Concubine Mei is such a vicious person, what kind of influence will she bring to the second emperor's brother? I'm afraid, he will choose to believe in his mother, right?

Dongfang Xu couldn't help but remember what the second emperor brother said when he looked for him in private, but now that he thinks about it, he was already testing himself at that time. If he didn't have doubts about his mother and himself, why didn't the second emperor brother make his words clear and clear, but tried to test it?

Dongfang Xu knows that he can't make any wrong decisions now, and he can no longer bear the people around him being taken away!

……

"Mother? Empress? ”

In the palace of the Second Emperor, Wu Huiyun stood in front of the window, pruning the potted plants with a pair of scissors in her hand, and the palace maid on the side saw that she had not moved for a long time, and couldn't help but call.

"Who's coming?"

She was taken aback, turned her head to look in the direction of the door, this period made Wu Huiyun more and more sensitive, before she helped the crown princess was not investigated, Wu Huiyun always felt that at some point, Dongfang Rui would come to her for trouble.

However, the more calm it is, the more torturous it is for Wu Huiyun.

"No, it's the slave maid who saw that the maid was distracted...... "The palace maid felt a little guilty, since these days, Wu Huiyun's temper has changed a lot, she no longer vents all her pain on them as before, she has become more and more quiet, and often sits alone somewhere and is distracted.

The palace maid had some sympathy in her heart, how could outsiders know that the second imperial concubine of the scenery lived such a life.

Everyone said that His Royal Highness might sit on the throne of the crown prince, and the princess would be the crown princess at that time, but in the eyes of these palace maids, they were afraid that it would not be the case.

Wu Huiyun retracted her gaze in a low manner, looked at the potted plants in her hand, and then looked at the seemingly gloomy garden, "Look, it's spring, but those flowers don't bloom." ”

"Niangniang, maybe it's because of the cold spring."

"Perhaps, it's because of the human heart?" She replied quietly. Such a pessimistic sentiment made the palace maid feel very depressed.

"Your Highness!" At this time, the palace maid exclaimed, and the scissors in Wu Huiyun's hand were cut, and a whole branch was cut, and her face turned white.

Dongfang Rui noticed the other party's expression, and his face was cold.

"Niangniang......" The palace maid on the side reminded in a whisper, Wu Huiyun reacted immediately, took a step back and lowered her head, not daring to look at Dongfang Rui's eyes.

Before she could salute, the other party sneered, "What, don't you want to see this prince come back?" ”

"......" Wu Huiyun found that she couldn't say a word, and the man stood in front of her again, as if it had aroused her nightmares for countless nights, although Dongfang Rui had rarely touched him again since these days, or rather, he was tired of himself.

However, the man in front of her didn't respond, Wu Huiyun raised her head and met Dongfang Rui's eyes, which made her a little distracted.

Was it her delusion? She actually saw endless loss and loneliness in Dongfang Rui's eyes.

Dongfang Rui withdrew his gaze from Wu Huiyun's pale face, and slowly looked at this palace that was obviously luxurious, but in his eyes, it looked extremely gray, and he didn't even understand why he wanted to return to this place.

Slowly turned around, and disappeared silently from Wu Huiyun's sight, leaving only the two surprised women in the palace.

Dongfang Rui moved step by step on this long corridor, thinking of Concubine Mei's words in his ears, and it was almost over.

It's over? But I didn't have the slightest joy. Something seemed to have been lost in the palace, and he looked at the slightly monotonous tree, which was already spring, and its leaves were still so lifeless.

"yes, why should I come back......"
