Chapter Thirty-Eight: Homely

The prince stood up with a smile and walked to Liu Xiu's side, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"What did my brother say, haha"

Liu Xiu shook his head with a low smile, looked at the surrounding scenery, and suddenly sighed with some emotion:

"So soon, you're going to be a father, I remember that I was still walking around behind your ass, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye, hehe, there are rumors outside that you and I are not in harmony, which has also affected the relationship between you and me to a greater or lesser extent."

As he spoke, he looked sincere and continued:

"Outsiders also say that I have the heart to fight for the reserve, saying that you and I have formed a party, violated the rules of the dynasty, and harmed the people, which is really ridiculous, and my merits and skills, where can I resist my brother's chance."

When the prince heard this, he laughed and said:

"How can outsiders know that I work hard every day! Since my father was seriously ill, the prime minister conspired against him, and the big and small affairs in the court and the central government were complicated, all of which were judged by me alone, and who knew how hard it was? ”

Liu Xiu smiled slightly and said:

"The emperor's brother has a lot of opportunities, and he is naturally hard, especially in the matter of the prime minister's rebellion, it is really painstaking and has many twists and turns."

The prince's eyes flashed, his face was angry, and he shouted:

"What are you talking about!"

Liu Xiu smiled and said:

"Brother Huang, the prime minister has been auxiliary for decades, and he has been loyal and unopposed, and he has no intention of assassinating the lantern festival, and it is more indebted to the prime minister to arrange the escort of the Imperial Forest Army, so that the enemy can be cleared and retreated, and the emperor will be safe, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, secondly, in the short term, we will no longer have external enemies, and the neighbors will be peaceful, and the prime minister has no intention of colluding with foreign enemies to disrupt national politics, so Liu Xiu really can't understand why the prime minister wants to do something rebellious."

The prince snorted and sneered:

"The prime minister is not doing this for you, Liu Xiu, don't think I don't know your wolf ambitions!"

Liu Xiu frowned slightly after hearing this, and said:

"Brother Huang, the prime minister is an important minister of the country, the so-called one person is above, above ten thousand, and he has always acted impartially, is upright, even his father is jealous of him, such a person, you only rely on half a day's effort, torture words, you conclude that he has a bad heart, and it is ridiculous to do rebellious things, and from beginning to end, you have not asked your father's opinion, blindly arbitrary, this is a taboo for your father!"

His eyes flashed, looking in the direction of the palace, and after a while, he said leisurely:

"Brother Huang, my father is in good health."

The prince was shocked, cold sweat trickled down his face, he was silent for a long time, and then he settled down and said with a sneer:

"Yaheng's rebellion, the evidence is conclusive, and the iron case is like a mountain, so why bother to let his father know, let him add trouble and aggravate his condition."

Liu Xiu didn't seem to hear it, his eyes became sharper and sharper, and even his voice seemed to have a sharp sound of a blade breaking through the air, and said:

"Since ancient times, the emperor has monopolized power, the whole world is in his hands, and human life is only judged by him, doesn't the emperor know? You actually made your own decisions and hid how many things your father did, not only that, but you dare to kill the important ministers of the society, then I will ask you, kill Yaheng, kill me, is the next one to be my father? ! ”

He stood up, stared into the eyes of the prince beside him, and said slowly:

"The Lantern Festival assassination, Luo Jing has a lot of rumors, people's hearts are unstable, his father is often worried about this, the imperial brother does not share the worries for his father, but for his own selfish interests, slaughters people in the mansion, frames Zhongliang, makes the world cold, the people are disappointed, the father is cold, where is the slightest bit of kingly bearing!"

As soon as the prince's face changed, he was about to be angry, but he finally held back and did not scold, and the two of them stood there like this.

Liu Xiu looked deeply at the prince in front of him, and for a while, he suddenly smiled, and his smile was kind, which made people feel like a spring breeze, and said:

"Don't worry too much about my brother, the matter is far from irreparable, what my brother just said is a bit excessive, I hope my brother won't blame him.

Your top priority now is to go to your father to ask for guilt, and say that you want to arrest the assassin as soon as possible, but you misheard the villain's slander, so you first sent the prime minister to prison, but in order to make meritorious contributions, in a hurry, you actually used torture on the prime minister to obtain testimony, resulting in the death of the prime minister.

In addition, Yan Guo has a vain heart, and I will go to defend the country and defend the country on the same day, and my brother can rest assured of me. ”

The prince's eyes lit up, his face was happy, and he patted Liu Xiu's shoulder excitedly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the soft voice of the crown princess Wang Yun coming in from outside the door, and said:

"Is my brother here? It's been a long time since I've seen you, and I've almost forgotten what you look like. ”

Hearing Wang Yun's voice, the brothers hurriedly walked out of the door, and the prince said first:

"Yun'er, brother, he came to visit you on purpose."

Wang Yun opened the door and walked in, and walked closer with the support of the prince.

But seeing that she is much plumper than before, her body is much rounder than before, especially her face seems to have a little fat, but she still looks graceful, Chu Chu is moving, and she is still graceful and graceful between walks.

Liu Xiu hurriedly stood up, saluted and smiled:

"I heard the news that my sister-in-law was pregnant, and I came here to say goodbye, but I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I came over for a walk."

Wang Yun smoothed the black hair like a waterfall with his hand, his face turned red, and he glanced at the prince as if he was coquettish, and the prince hurriedly shook his head when he saw this, and said with a smile:

"I didn't go out of my way to publicize it, after all, you are not long pregnant, I don't want to be widely known, let them all come to visit, Luojing has not been peaceful recently, and the ministers come frequently, I don't want them to disturb you, my brother has a lot of eyes and ears in Luojing, who knows where he heard the news?"

Liu Xiu smiled, turned his head, and said to Wang Yun:

"In the past few days, you have to ensure your body, and you must not move the fetus."

Wang Yun bowed his head slightly and said:

"It's all right, thank you brother for your concern, but," Wang Yun shook her head, her snow-like hair flew with it, she glanced at the gentle elegance behind Liu Xiu, and said with a smile:

"My younger brother is not too young, it's time to start a family."

Wen Ya saw the crown princess looking at her, and there seemed to be a bang in her mind, and an unprecedented excitement mixed with vanity rushed through every part of her body.

She looked at Liu Xiu in front of her, her heart was like a deer, and Wang Yun's words made her feel sweet from the heart.

But Liu Xiu just chuckled at Wang Yun, but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Wang Yun sighed and stopped talking.

The gentle heart tightened suddenly.

After a moment of silence, Liu Xiu stepped forward, helped Wang Yun to his seat, and said:

"Now you're different, when you have a child, you have to pay attention to it, you can't stand for so long, if you hurt your body because of this, my brother can't spare me."

Wang Yun's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and said softly:

"I see, thank you brother for your concern."

Liu Xiu smiled, turned her head to Wang Yun and asked softly:

"Do you know how many months?"

Wang Yun lowered her head shyly, and chuckled in a voice as thin as mosquito silk:

"Let the doctor check the pulse, and say that it has only been more than two months, and it is still early."

Liu Xiu glanced at the prince who was still smirking, shook his head, and said:

"Brother, it is the hardest time to conceive a baby in October, you don't have to treat your sister-in-law badly!"

The prince smiled, shook his head, and argued:

"How could I have treated her badly? Brother, don't worry! ”

Wang Yun sat next to him, and when he heard the two of them talking like this, he also covered his mouth and smiled.

All of a sudden, he was happy and full of the true feelings of the world.

At that moment, the three of them laughed and talked for a while, and seeing that Wang Yun was sleepy, Liu Xiu suddenly woke up, patted his head with his hand, and said with a smile:

"Look at me, I'm really getting more and more confused, sister-in-law, go in and rest, the two of us are just chatting, and when my sister-in-law gives birth, Liu Xiu will come to visit again."

Hearing him say this, Wang Yun covered her mouth and chuckled:

"It's okay, it's only been two months! I've been restrained by the prince these days, and I've been stuffy for a long time, and finally someone to speak, do you want me to leave with a whisper and the prince can't talk? If so, I'd like to hear about it here. ”

Liu Xiu looked serious when he faced Wang Yun and said:

"It's only been two months, what if you're tired, how can it be good, your prince still can't fight with me, I can't stop him when he goes crazy, when I was a child, I could fight with me in order to let go of the handkerchief, I can't afford it, don't worry, I haven't seen him for a long time, just talk about family life, and never talk to anyone."

Wang Yun burst out laughing after hearing this, turned his eyes to look at the prince, and gently pinched his arm with his thin fingers, and was about to speak, but heard the prince smile and say:

"My brother is also kind, so you can go and rest first."

After hearing this, Wang Yun's beautiful eyes flashed, but she didn't refute, slowly stood up, and chuckled:

"Then I'll go back first."

Liu Xiu smiled and said:

"If my sister-in-law is so polite, I won't come in the future."

Wang Yun chuckled lightly and walked out, her gentle and fiery gaze finally dimmed completely.

Watching the beautiful and gentle woman gradually move away, Liu Xiu turned his head to the prince and said:

"Brother Huang, you are very blessed to have a wife like this."

After hearing this, the prince's chin rose slightly, and he smiled silently.

As soon as Wang Yun left, the two brothers suddenly didn't know what to say, and the hall gradually quieted down.

After a moment of silence, Liu Xiu slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and when he put down the cup, his face had changed to a calm and indifferent look.

"Brother Huang, recently, I am afraid that the threshold of the Prince's Mansion has been flattened by the ministers."

The prince was beaten and pulled by Liu Xiu, and his defense line was a little slack, and he showed a smug look on his face, and said:

"My father was angry with these ministers all day long, saying that they were disobedient, so I taught them a lesson for my father, and as a result, these ministers were not frightened, do you know that my mansion is a place where the ministers of Luojing flock to it, and it is the salutes sent by all sides, and my mansion is piled up! Every day I am sent a group of people, there will always be another dial, waiting outside the door to queue up to meet there are two or three dials, every day at dawn I am busy getting up to meet guests, until it is dark to receive the gifts, day by day, I have almost met all the officials in the DPRK and China, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and I set close, talk about ambitions! A few days ago, even if you came over, brother, I was afraid that I wouldn't have time to see you. ”
