After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

When the words "Your Highness" were mentioned, Shangguan Shu's smiling face suddenly dimmed. Thinking of her words that night and her whole person, the evil beast that was suppressed in his heart was about to come out.

He really wanted to surround the capital, surround the palace, kill Wei Fu, break into the Guangming Palace, imprison her, trap her, and get her at all costs!

But he can't.

You must not...

Shangguan Shu lowered his brows and looked cold and indifferent.

Shangguan Zhu suddenly thought of something, and turned Shangguan Qiyou away, saying to Shangguan Shu, "Brother, what you told me to do last time... Zhao Ziyin has been bought by someone."

As he spoke, Shangguan Zhu avoided Shangguan Shu's gaze.

The eldest brother asked him to send Zhao Ziyan to Zuixin Pavilion, which was a famous brothel in the capital. It was easy to imagine what would happen to such a young child if he went in there. Even if Ziyan was not the eldest brother's child, his behavior was too cruel.

What's more, if Zhao Yao knew that Zhao Ziyan was sold out by her eldest brother, she would definitely hate her eldest brother to death. He couldn't let Zhao Yao hate her eldest brother!

So, he sold Zhao Ziyan and then asked a stranger to buy him back and sent him to Master Wufa.

Shangguan Shu was silent for a while after hearing this.

A pair of black pupils stared at Shangguan Zhu quietly, and said nonchalantly: "Tingzhi, I don't understand why you keep favoring Zhao Yao. If you said it was for me, then you would have known my heart when I asked you to sell Zhao Ziyin, but you still chose to save him."

Shangguan Zhu looked at Shangguan Shu in panic, opened his mouth, and subconsciously defended himself, "No, I..."

I can’t hide it from my brother after all!

But how much did he know?

Shangguan Shu's pair of sharp eyes seemed to be able to see into Shangguan Zhu's heart, making him sweat profusely. But he just glanced at him lightly and then looked away, looking behind Shangguan Zhu, with his hands behind his back, looking gloomy and empty-minded.

"Tingzhi, you are my brother, how can I not pursue the past? Zhao Ziyin, I want him to... die! Do you understand?"

"Brother...I understand."

Shangguan Zhu left.

His face was as pale as paper.

He walked hurriedly, and only stopped when he was sure he was out of his eldest brother's sight. Then he looked up at the sky and smiled to himself.

When he was a child, his eldest brother said that he had talent, but he was not ruthless enough, not decisive enough, and therefore not someone who could accomplish great things.

At that time, he just felt that it didn't matter. He just had to listen to his elder brother. His elder brother was so smart and he would definitely protect him.

But later... later... why did Zhao Ying exist in the world?

My brother is right, he is not cruel enough and decisive enough.

He couldn't bear to turn against his elder brother, but he secretly coveted his elder sister-in-law...

For so many years, he was like a shameful rat in a deep well, peeking at the scorching sun every day.

He is the illegitimate son of a duke and cannot marry a princess.

But why did she become his sister-in-law, making her within his reach, yet beyond his reach? He suffered every day. He thought his elder brother loved Zhao Yao, and as long as his elder brother and Zhao Ying broke up, he could... he could...

How could my brother fall in love with Zhao Ying again?

Why did he suddenly abandon Zhao Yao, whom he had loved for many years?

why?

why?

He was almost successful.

He waited for it!

Shangguan Zhu was so anxious that he couldn't help but sit down on the ground, holding his head in pain.

Suddenly, he thought of something and took out the jade pendant from his arms. He put it on his cheek with an intoxicated look on his face, as if he could feel the breath of the owner of the jade pendant in this way.

The jade pendant belongs to Zhao Ying.

However, he did "stolen" it from his elder brother.

He knows a secret of his eldest brother.

My eldest brother is the legitimate son of a duke. He has been able to enter and leave the palace freely since he was a child, so he must have met Princess Chengqian a long time ago.

My eldest brother has liked Princess Chengqian for a long time.

In his memory, his elder brother always praised Princess Chengqian for being smart, beautiful, and likable. For the first time, he became curious about Zhao Ying.

However, it did not last long. His eldest brother kept talking and he became so tired of hearing him that his ears became callused. He also began to get annoyed with this legendary prince.

He was tired of listening, so the eldest brother went to talk to Tan Zhi. Tan Zhi was only eight months old at that time, so he held Tan Zhi in his arms and talked to him as much as he could, making Tan Zhi cry more than once.

My eldest brother has been calm and steady since he was young, and he only acts silly because he is associated with his beloved eldest prince.

Later, the eldest brother went even further and painted countless portraits of Princess Chengqian and placed them in his study, which made him curious about Zhao Ying again.

Is she so pretty, smart, and liked by my eldest brother?

He never had an answer.

His stepmother would never bring a bastard into the palace.

But then one day, the eldest brother suddenly stopped thinking about Zhao Ying. He thought that his eldest brother had been rejected by Zhao Ying and that it would be fine after a few days. However, that day, the eldest brother looked at the portraits filling up his study and flew into a rage. He called him in and scolded him severely, asking if he had done it and asked him to take away all those messy paintings.

What's wrong, brother?

He became more and more certain that his elder brother was humiliated in front of Princess Cheng Qian and took it out on him, but his elder brother was not the type to take his anger out on others... With doubts in mind, he put away all the paintings so that his elder brother could take them back when he figured it out.

But never.

It was not until a few years later that he discovered that his elder brother seemed to have fallen in love with someone else.

He went to school and went to the Imperial College, where he found a little girl who frequently came to see his eldest brother, and his eldest brother smiled at her very gently.

Could that person be Zhao Ying?

But his classmates told him that it was the Second Prince, Zhao Yao.

For a moment, his mind was a little confused, and he even began to suspect that the person his eldest brother was talking about was Zhao Yao, and he had remembered it wrong.

But there is a big difference between Princess Chengqian and Princess Huai'an. Even if his memory is bad, it won't be so bad.

A few years passed with doubts in my mind.

When Princess Chengqian came of age, the Emperor issued a general amnesty and held a grand banquet.

He was finally able to enter the palace.

He was strolling in the palace when he suddenly heard the voices of his elder brother and Princess Huai'an. He hid in a corner with a gossipy grin, waiting to find something to hold against his elder brother so he could go back and make fun of him.

He heard Princess Huai'an say that she and her father went out of the palace to pick up Princess Chengqian yesterday, but she accidentally dropped her most beloved bracelet at the city gate. It was a gift from her father and she treasured it very much.

When the eldest brother heard this, he said, I will go find it for you now.

Princess Huai'an stopped him and said, "The banquet will begin soon. What if you leave and can't come back in time?"

His elder brother said that there were so many people celebrating Princess Chengqian’s birthday, and he was not one of them.

The eldest brother is gone.

While he was still sighing at the beautiful love between his elder brother and Princess Huai'an, he saw Princess Huai'an looking at his elder brother's departing back. She suddenly smiled and said sternly, "Let's see how they will meet again now!"

[But what if he comes back? ]

"No, he definitely won't be able to make it back."

Who? Who is Princess Huai'an talking to?

[Be prepared for the worst, have you forgotten the five heartbeat points that were removed? ]

"You don't need to remind me again and again. Even if I force Shangguan Shu to transfer his love for Zhao Ying to me, after all these years, I don't believe that Shangguan Shu has no feelings for me at all!"
