The crown prince Xiao Shuyu was imprisoned in the East Palace and was not allowed to take half a step. The guards guarding the door were the same as the guards when Xiao Shuyu was first imprisoned. Xiao Shuyu stood with his back to the door and his eyes closed. He also knew that Xiao Yuhuan was behind all this, but he was gentle by nature and unwilling to compete in the world, so he always turned a blind eye and tolerated Xiao Yuhuan everywhere.

—— —— ——

When Xiao Shuyu was thirteen years old, Xiao Yuhuan was already twelve years old, and Princess Xiao Yunyi of Su'an was nine years old at the time. There are many royal heirs, and the eldest princess Xiao Chuyi is the eldest daughter of Empress Xu. Empress Xu is the emperor's favorite woman, but unfortunately Empress Xu died after giving birth to Xiao Chuyi. Xiao Shuyu is the eldest son of Concubine Li and the eldest son of the emperor. There is only a one-year difference between Xiao Shuyu and Xiao Chuyi. But Xiao Chuyi has been a bit domineering since she was a child, although she didn't dare to know what to do to Xiao Shuyu, but she didn't like to see the slaves and maids who served her, and often had nothing to do to find fault, so that she didn't know how many slaves and maids had been replaced in the palace. Xiao Yuhuan is the eldest son of Mrs. Yun, and he has had a close relationship with the eldest princess Xiao Chuyi since he was a child, so he thinks the two should be on the same road. After Xiao Yuhuan is the eldest daughter of Ling nobles, Princess Lefu Xiao Chuyuan. Like her mother, Xiao Chuyuan has a kind temperament and does not interact with people very much. Compared with the relationship with other people, Xiao Chuyuan's relationship with Xiao Yunyi, the princess of Su'an behind her, is still good. Xiao Chuyuan does not dislike Xiao Yunyi often wearing a veil, on the contrary, he takes care of her very much. The relationship between the two has always been close. And the last prince is Chang Xiuyi's eldest son, Xiao Yunjue, the king of Shuyang. Among them, the one who has a better relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is Xiao Yunyi, the princess of Su'an. coincided with her youth, and Xiao Shuyu met Xiao Yunyi for the first time at that time, when she was chasing butterflies in the yard. At that time, Xiao Yunyi had not worn a veil all day. When I first met Xiao Shuyu, there were no groups of slaves and maids behind her. Xiao Shuyu sent the people around him away, and walked over to greet Xiao Yunyi alone.

Xiao Shuyu: "Hello! My name is Xiao Shuyu, what's your name? ”

The girl turned to look at him and suddenly laughed happily.

"What are you laughing at? Is there something on my face? ”

"No, it's the first time I've seen a boy as handsome as you."

"Oh...... Oh. ”

"My name is Xiao Yunyi. You're the eldest son of Concubine Li, right? Yun Yi has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"Ahh Right. What about you? ”

"My mother is Mrs. Yun. I heard that the noble concubine has passed away, and I asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to mourn. ”

"It's been a long time, and it's okay for me to live on my own. Barely survived until now, hahaha. ”

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't dislike it, if you have time, Yun Yi will come to accompany you, okay?"

"Hah! That's good, of course. When there are no outsiders, there is no need to salute. All of you are the sons and daughters of your father, so it would be nice to call me brother. ”

"Yes, brother."

I still vaguely remember what she looked like when I first saw Xiao Yunyi that day. Wearing a blue skirt, chasing butterflies with her feet pointed. The moment he turned his face and saw Xiao Shuyu smiling, he was as cute and beautiful as an elf. The two often meet up to play together. Although Xiao Shuyu is the crown prince, he does not have half of the prince's frame, and Xiao Yunyi does not feel that there is anything wrong with playing with His Royal Highness the prince, and he is even more frank, and he has never looked down on himself. One day about half a month later, Xiao Shuyu did not wait for Xiao Yunyi at the agreed place. But he didn't think much about it, just thought that Xiao Yunyi had something important, so he didn't go to her. And the next day, the news of Princess Su'an's illness came out of the palace. It is said that at that time, a number of imperial doctors came to diagnose and all came to the same conclusion. Xiao Shuyu didn't see the doctors with his own eyes, and he didn't know what this serious illness was. It's just that from that day on, when he saw Xiao Yunyi again, it was the same as when he was wearing a veil now.

—— —— ——

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The sound of the door opening and whispering interrupted Xiao Shuyu's train of thought. He looked back and couldn't help but smile.

"I was thinking about you just now, and I came so soon. I've told you how many times, call me brother. ”

The woman closed the door, turned to look at Xiao Shuyu and said, "That's when there are no outsiders, it's okay now, brother."

"Hah! It's still the case! Su An, I'm a criminal minister, what are you doing here? Not afraid to get yourself in trouble? ”

"Thanks to my brother, will there be less evil in me? There is a folk saying that if there are many lice, you are not afraid of biting. It's okay to have one more trouble, just get used to it. ”

"You're going to make fun of your brother, and I don't know where you learned these fallacies. Come and sit down. ”

Princess Su'an walked up to Xiao Shuyu and sat down and said, "Brother is really leisurely, the fire is about to burn, and you are still thinking about me?"

"You! When I was young, I didn't have a proper shape, but when I grew up, I still like this, where is there still a princess? ”

"Brother teaches a lesson, but brother should deal with his own affairs first."

"What a thing! If I say more, I'm afraid I'm really causing trouble for myself. ”

"Doesn't that brother care about his position as the crown prince? If they are brother king......"

"If Yu Huan really wants, I will give it to him."

"Brother, brother! Look at your unenterprising look. If my father hears what you say, he will immediately abolish your status as a prince! ”

"If it's scrapped, it's scrapped. I don't think I'm the best candidate to be the crown prince. Isn't it good to be able to select talents? ”

"But in Su An's heart, you are the most suitable candidate for the position of prince."

"I don't want to fight with them. If fratricide was needed for the sake of this position, I would rather give it up. ”

"Brother, there is no place in this world that can be easily obtained. The crown prince is a symbol of the future throne. This throne, revered by all, has supreme power. But to really sit in this position, you have to shed blood, and a lot of blood. I know you're in the world, brother, but now you can't sit idly by. Just think it's for the sake of the world, and you must also fight for this position. ”

"Su An, why are you so prejudiced against Yu Huan? He's your own brother! I think there's something wrong with Yu Huan sitting in this seat! ”

Princess Su'an sighed and said, "If Xiao Yuhuan sits in that seat, it will not only be us who will suffer, but also the people of the world." Brother, do you know, if you give up your seat to Xiao Yuhuan, then the relationship between the three of us is that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat. Oh yes! Brother, he also has two helpers, Shen Fan and Xiao Chuyuan. Brother should be more careful. ”

"If it were me, I might have this possibility, but you are his own sister, how can he do this to you? Still is...... What happened between you? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I saw through Xiao Yuhuan. See through everything about him. Princess Su'an lowered her head, "Brother." There is destined to be a war between the two of you, and there is also destined to be a blood rivalry between me and him, which cannot be avoided and is inevitable. Brother just needs to remember that I, Xiao Yunyi, will always help my brother. Princess Su'an stood up and walked to the door, "Sooner or later, the world will be chaotic, and the two sides of the opposite are the two of you." What should come will always come, and you can't escape if you want to. Brother, let's think about it. With that, Princess Su'an opened the door and walked out. Xiao Shuyu stood in place, looking at Xiao Yunyi's distant back, and muttered, "Everything has changed." And Xiao Yunyi, who went out, also muttered: "This world has changed a long time ago. From the very beginning, everything was different. ”

—— —— ——

Xiao Yuhuan was kneeling in the main hall to explain his wrongs to the emperor, and he also added a lot of fuel and vinegar to Xiao Shuyu's affairs. Shen Fan is now by the emperor's side, and he also has a few more words from time to time, but none of them are beneficial to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Shuyu. After the joint instigation of the two, finally, the emperor couldn't sit still, and immediately ordered the abolition of Xiao Shuyu's status as the crown prince and renamed him the king of Nanyang. The edict was immediately sent to the East Palace, Xiao Shuyu seemed to have expected this matter a long time ago, calmly accepted the edict, packed up his things and left the East Palace, and moved to the Nanyang Palace. This Nanyang Mansion was originally a house with excellent feng shui purchased by a wealthy businessman in the capital, and now, Xiao Shuyu has moved in, although it is a little demeaningful, but this feng shui is very flattering to his original intention. The edict was sent half an hour after Princess Xiao Yunyi of Su'an left, and naturally it also reached Xiao Yunyi's ears. Everything is a foregone conclusion, and Shen Fan and Xiao Yuhuan have repeatedly stated Xiao Shuyu's criminal acts to the emperor, and it is only a matter of time before they are deposed. It's just that Xiao Yunyi didn't expect it to be so fast.

Xiao Nai stood beside Xiao Yunyi and didn't say a word. She could see that Xiao Yunyi must be extremely angry now, so she didn't dare to touch Xiao Yunyi's thunder, for fear that she would suddenly explode. Xiao Yunyi spoke first: "Xiao Nai." You say, what are we going to do? ”

Xiao Nai: "Princess, Xiao Nai is stupid, I really can't think of any way."

Xiao Yunyi sneered: "King Nanyang." In this way, it reminds me of a person inexplicably. ”

Xiao Nai: "Who is the princess talking about?"

Xiao Yunyi: "I...... Sister. ”

"Sister?" Xiao Nai was stunned for a moment, but then reacted, "The princess is talking about Princess Lefu?" ”

Xiao Yunyi said sadly: "Yes! Unexpectedly, I thought of her at this moment. ”

"Princess Lefu has been gone for three years, princess, don't be sad, watch out for your body."

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Yunyi walked to the edge of his dressing table, took out a purple iris hairpin from a silver box, and handed it to Xiao Nai, "Look at this purple iris." It was given to me by my sister before she left. After so many years, this purple iris hairpin is still so bright. ”

"Gong ...... Princess. ”

"Xiao Nai. I remember back then, it seems that Xiao Yuhuan sent someone to get my sister back, right? I was there for my sister when she left, but I couldn't do anything. Am I particularly useless? ”

"Don't say that, princess. You don't blame you for what happened back then, you've done enough. The slave believes that Princess Love doesn't blame you. ”

"That's why now I have to do everything I can to protect my brother. I believe that my sister was blind to death back then, so I not only have to fulfill her wish, but also take back what belongs to him for Brother Wang! ”
