"Someone told me that he saw that the second emperor brother has been going in and out of the mansions of some ministers of the DPRK and China recently, especially the mansions of the commanders and generals."

Yu Zhi's brows were tightly knit when he spoke, and he was only sixteen years young, and he put on such a serious expression, which really made people feel quite old, with a bit of the demeanor of the king of Xiangnan.

I don't know what Yu Ji usually goes to do, but I just heard him say to go to some places to have fun, so naturally I think of going to some places where the wind and snow are blowing. I still want to talk to Yu Zhi and don't care too much, men are like this. But the ...... who interacted with the generals Is there anything wrong with this? Isn't it normal for the prince to get acquainted with the courtiers and play together or something?

"What's wrong with that?" I voiced the doubts in my heart.

Yu Zhi looked a little distressed and said, "Of course there is no problem with this, it's just a strange ......"

"What's so strange?"

"It's weird."

The two of us were talking while walking, Yu Zhi suddenly stopped, turned to face me and said, "The second emperor brother has always ignored the government and has almost no contact with the officials of the court and China, if he really has been in contact with so many generals and officials recently, isn't it strange?" ”

It would be a little strange to say that.

But I'm an outsider who doesn't understand the government at all, and even if I tell me this, I don't understand that there is anything wrong with it. Could it be that Yu Zhi's dealings with other officials are so strange? I think it's quite normal, but it's just a whim, or some other reason, and even occasionally meeting those officials in the Qinglou, playing with them and flying or something, and then forming a "good relationship" is not necessarily impossible.

I said to Yu Zhi: "Let's not say that your source is unreliable for the time being, even if Yu Ji really has frequent contacts with those officials? What does this mean? ”

Yu Zhi's expression suddenly became unnatural, his eyes looked away, and he squeaked for a long time before saying: "Recently, there are some rumors in the court that the second emperor brother wants to raise troops to usurp the throne. ”

Usurper?!

This is a terrible thing, no wonder Yu Zhi behaved so strangely.

"It's impossible, Yu Ji ......"

I was a little shocked when I heard that, but after calming down a little bit, I thought it was impossible.

"Impossible, some time ago, when I just came back from the Qingxuan Dao Sect, he advised ......, "Persuade me to succeed to the throne of Shonan."

I can't say it halfway through the words, this kind of thing seems to be inconvenient to tell Yu Zhi, who has already been designated as the crown prince, otherwise it will sound as if we are fighting for his throne and hurt the feelings between our brothers. But since Yu Ji has already persuaded me to succeed to the throne, it means that he himself has no idea of seizing the throne, otherwise how could he persuade me? Not to mention such a thing as raising an army and usurping the throne...... I always feel that it is too fantastical, very distant and unrealistic.

Seeing that I didn't continue, Yu Zhi asked me strangely: "Eldest brother, did the second elder brother tell you anything?" ”

I was dumbfounded for a moment, and then replied with a smirk: "No, it's nothing, he just said that you are very smart, very responsible, and very suitable to succeed to the throne of Shonan." ”

Hearing these words, Yu Zhi looked away in embarrassment, and said embarrassedly: "Second Emperor Brother, did you really say that?" No way...... I think he sometimes has a kind of hatred for me, but I didn't expect him to say this about me in front of you, eldest brother. ”

Seeing Yu Zhi's somewhat silly expression, I felt a little guilty in my heart.

At the beginning, I asked Yu Ji about Yu Zhi's evaluation in the Imperial Garden, and Yu Ji's evaluation of Yu Zhi was only two or three sentences, and it was indeed not very good as Yu Zhi thought. But in this situation, as an elder brother, it would be better for me to tell a little lie and mend the relationship between our brothers.

I smiled and said, "Yes, how could that guy Yuji usurp the throne?" ”

Yu Zhi also nodded in agreement: "Yes, how could I listen to those villains?" Although the second emperor brother is usually not enthusiastic, he treats me very well, because I suspect that the second emperor brother has usurped the throne with a few words from others, which is really stupid! ”

He had already begun to examine himself, and I was watching.

Well, that's the end of it.

Just when I was relieved, Yu Zhi, who suddenly finished self-examination, asked me: "Speaking of which, I have always been curious about the things that happened at the banquet last night, does the eldest brother know Princess Rose?" ”

The one who should come is still coming, and I knew that Yu Zhi would definitely ask this question.

"Uh......"

Yu Zhi's gaze was open, and he didn't doubt what I meant.

After being dumbfounded for a while, I sighed and said distressedly: "Originally, my brother didn't want to mention this matter, but since you want to ask, third brother, I have to tell you." ”

I'm starting to trick the little story again.

"It's the sword trial meeting a month ago, you know, I participated in the competition, and that guy watched the competition as a guest of honor and the deputy palace master of the Tanying Falling Flower Palace. I've met the Rose Princess a few times, so I guess I know each other. Then, that princess was willful enough, and one night she actually slipped out of the Shadow Falling Flower Palace and went to the town to play. I touched her and accidentally smashed her 'white jade piglet's head left to her by her dead mother' to the ground! ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhi was surprised, and suddenly understood.

I went on again, pretending to be foolish, "Then you should be able to guess, she's sad." I want to lose money, but that kind of thing is priceless, and she's a princess who never lacks money, I'm just slipping around. I didn't expect it, she was the green seedling princess who was going to marry you, I put so many plasters on my face at the banquet last night, just because I didn't want to be found by her so as not to cause trouble, but in the end it was exposed! ”

Yu Zhi nodded again and again: "I see." ”

I let out a long sigh and said, "I've seen it before, but the princess is so grumpy that she bit me last night!" Second brother, I want you to marry such a princess, it's embarrassing for you......"

I patted him on the shoulder in a deep tone, feeling proud that I had been able to come up with such a perfect lie in an instant.

Sure enough, my Wang Yi is a villain!

However, Yu Zhi did not feel sad because he wanted to marry such a princess, and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, brother, I don't know much about men and women, but I know that if people want to get along harmoniously, as long as they respect each other." Now she wants to lose her temper with me, and I just give in to her. ”

...... This brother is really a good man.

He is handsome, has a good personality, and is still the prince of Shonan, and will become the emperor of Shonan in the future.

This strengthened my reason for abandoning my engagement with the Green Brier.

"His Royal Highness Yuyi!"

Suddenly, someone called out to me at the palace gate.

Yu Zhi and I unconsciously walked to the front yard of Jingyang Palace, and both looked at the person who shouted, but saw that it was the little eunuch who came to me from the Green Rose before, and he was stopped by two guards guarding the gate of Jingyang Palace, and shouted excitedly after seeing me in the front yard.

I didn't want Yu Zhi to know that Green Rose was looking for me, so I said to Yu Zhi: "What, Yu Zhi, you wait here first, I'll go see what's going on and then look for you." ”

Yu Zhi said casually: "I also went over with the emperor's eldest brother to listen to it, is there anything inconvenient?" ”

"There's nothing inconvenient...... "I couldn't think of a moment to ask him not to talk to someone who came over.

I had to walk with him to the gate of Jingyang Palace, waved to the guards and asked them to put away their spears, and then carefully asked the little eunuch, "Is there something wrong?" ”

The little eunuch shouted in a panic: "It's a big deal, Your Royal Highness Yuyi, Princess Rose hanged herself!" ”

"What?!"

My head went blank.

Green Rose committed suicide?

Just because I didn't go to her, she didn't want to marry to Shonan, so she hanged herself?

Why is she so stupid!

Just after I was a little dizzy and was stabilized by Yu Zhi in time, the little eunuch took a breath before continuing: "Fortunately, she was found by the palace maid who served her and saved her in time." ”

I stayed for a long time, and then raised my hand and struck the eunuch's head.

"Can you speak a little more completely at once!"

The little eunuch apologized and begged for mercy aggrievedly.

was frightened and Yu Zhi, although he was also surprised, but his performance was much calmer than mine.

He let me go, and asked the little eunuch who had been passing the word, "Princess, why did she hang herself?" ”

The little eunuch looked at me in fear and stammered in a low voice, "Probably...... It seems to be ...... It's because His Royal Highness Yu Yi refuses to see her......"

Yu Zhi was puzzled and said: "Just for a piece of white jade, as for the sake of death?" Although it is a relic of her mother. ”

It seems that he did not doubt what I said.

Now, if I don't see Green Brier, maybe she'll have to find some way to kill herself, and I'll have to go if I don't want to.

I said to Yu: "Third brother, I'll go see her, you go and do your own things first." ”

"No, I'm going with you, eldest brother!" Yu Zhi said with a resolute face: "She is already going to die, if she goes to that place, she will use something to embarrass the emperor's eldest brother, with your soft-hearted character, you may suffer a big loss, I will accompany you to reason with her." After all, I'm her future husband, and she might listen to me. ”

Ah, what a good brother!

But I'm not a soft-hearted man, and just because you're the object of her marriage, she doesn't want to see you even more, maybe she'll hit the wall and commit suicide as soon as they meet.

I patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "It's okay, after all, this matter started because of me, let you intercede for me, what if she hates you?" In the future, when the two of you get married, how will you live? ”

Yu Zhi still wanted to accompany me to see Green Rose, but after several persuasions from me, he finally gave up.

I hurriedly followed the little eunuch who passed the message, and went to the West Palace to see the green rose, and see what she was going to do.
