Drunk Bamboo

The bitterness and helplessness on Hua Qinyu's face were obvious.

Hua Qinfeng disagreed.

"If waking him up requires sacrificing the people closest to him, I would rather he pretend to be asleep forever. When he wakes up, I will hit him in the head until he bleeds."

Look into his eyes and say, "Only when it hurts can you see clearly. Only when it hurts can you know how to cherish."

Reading makes people wise and sensible.

Reading can broaden people's minds and make them not be bound by the moment or the details.

As they finished speaking, Hua Qinyu and Zhang Xinghe both looked surprised.

"You have been free and unrestrained since childhood. You went to the western border when you were thirteen. You only saw him once every two or three years. I used to think that the father-son relationship was very rare. Now, I envy you. Now I see you in a different light. Perhaps with fewer ties, you can see things more clearly."

Hua Qinyu is seven years older than him, so he can be said to have watched him grow up. He feels deeply moved as he sees him transform from a reckless and impulsive person to the thoughtful and prudent man he is today.

Hua Qinfeng only realized today that the prince, who had been pampered since childhood, also suffered so much.

Like him, he also has the unattainable family love and paternal love.

Hua Qinfeng suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.

His tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed and he smiled, as if to comfort and persuade.

"Family love in this world is often reliable, touching, and even heart-touching."

"It's just a trip to the Ministry of Justice. I didn't lose any meat or skin. Why bother with him? If you feel embarrassed, I'm not afraid to let you know that I have been to this room and stayed there for three days. Now no one dares to tell me about this."

"Sitting in that position and holding power, you are no longer an ordinary person. There is only that one person in the world. We are just unlucky and happened to be his son."

Hua Qinyu was amused by him, "How many people envy us for being born into an imperial family and being superior. But my third brother said that we are unlucky and if others hear us, they will attack us."

Hua Qinfeng didn't care. "There are gains and losses. I would rather be born in an ordinary family. My family lives in harmony and happiness. Even if life is hard, it's good."

Hua Qinyu put down the cup, and raised the corner of his mouth. "To attack someone, you must first attack their heart. Third brother uses the art of war very well."

"I'm just telling the truth."

"This white jade lotus leaf was a gift from my grandfather for my tenth birthday. He knew my feelings as soon as he saw it."

He took off a piece of white jade from his waist and handed it to Hua Qinfeng.

The white jade lotus leaf represents the Wang family's integrity and their refusal to be corrupted by the world.

Hua Qinfeng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would give in so quickly.

He held the white jade tightly, stood up suddenly, and bowed solemnly before leaving.

This mission is accomplished!

After taking a few steps out of the cell, he saw someone around the corner.

Pei Xiuwen was frightened by the sudden appearance of the tall figure and trembled all over, and the plates fell to the ground with a clang.

"Your Highness... I, your humble servant was not eavesdropping... I just wanted to send some food to Your Highness..."

"I won't tell you... No, I didn't hear anything! I didn't hear anything!"

Hua Qinfeng stared at him coldly.

Pei Xiuwen's legs were weak and he almost fell, but fortunately a pair of hands supported him from behind.

Looking back, "Prime Minister Luo! When... did you arrive?"

Luo Yuan was already behind him, but Pei Xiuwen was so focused on listening to someone's impassioned speech that he didn't notice him.

"If I answer now that I didn't hear what you and Your Highness said, King Feng probably won't believe it." Luo Yuan helped Pei Xiuwen to stand firmly, then saluted and looked at Hua Qinfeng calmly.

"The Grand Tutor said that you are one of the few honest and upright officials in the court. No matter what the court situation is, you have your own decisions." Hua Qinfeng retracted his vigilant gaze and passed by him. "I hope Prime Minister Luo will not disappoint the Grand Tutor."

He did not forget to look back at Pei Xiuwen, "You can't even hold a plate steady, how can you protect His Highness all the way?"

It was not until a while after Hua Qinfeng left that Pei Xiuwen came to his senses and said in panic:

"Prince Luo... King Feng just glared at me. Is he going to..."

Dead?!

Luo Yuan sighed softly, "He is an upright person. He didn't embarrass you at this moment, and he will definitely not do anything to you in the future."

Calming down and thinking back on what had just happened, Pei Xiuwen was not only not afraid, but also somewhat admired Hua Qinfeng.

"The Wind King seems to be different from what has been rumored. It is said that he is an extraordinary martial artist, like the god of war Yama on the battlefield, brave and invincible, killing people without blinking an eye, and even children are afraid and cry when they see him."

"But he knew we heard the confidential conversation between him and His Highness, but he didn't make any trouble. And we were quite shocked by what he said just now."

He expressed his feelings sincerely.

He didn't notice that Luo Yuan was looking at him scrutinizingly.

"I really wasn't eavesdropping! I was just so absorbed in listening that I forgot to look away." Pei Xiuwen hurriedly explained.

"Those who practice martial arts have different eyesight and hearing than ordinary people. King Feng and Minister Zhang are both extraordinary. Perhaps they already knew we were here."

"Aren't they afraid that we are King Wen's men? My lord, you are King Wen's father-in-law?"

Luo Yuan: "I am Qi'er's father, and I am also your Majesty's subject. Without a great country, how can there be a small family? Everything is for the sake of saving the country."

Pei Xiuwen: "Your Highness was framed under the Emperor's feet, and was obstructed on the way back to the city. This is a disregard for the law and a rampant act. Does Your Majesty really know about this?"

After a long while, he said, "No one knows what your Highness is thinking."

After saying this, Luo Yuan turned around and left.

Pei Xiuwen asked: "Prime Minister Luo, aren't you here to see His Highness?"

Luo Yuan didn't look back, "I'm here to find the answer."

It seems that the answer has been obtained.

In the cell, only Hua Qinyu and Zhang Xinghe were left.

"They're gone. Sit down and chat with me."

Zhang Xinghe sat down respectfully, "Your Highness's hearing is still so amazing."

"If I hadn't suggested the horse race with my third brother, I wouldn't have fallen off the horse and injured my head. But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Since then, my hearing has been extraordinary. Only you and my third brother know about this. I never even mentioned it to the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess."

"Your Highness trusts me so highly that I cannot accept it."

There are not many people in the palace who can be trusted.

It’s strange to say, Hua Qinyu has liked Hua Qinfeng and Zhang Xinghe since he was a child, but these two people are the least likable among the group of children.

One has a bad temper and loves to stir up trouble, but is good at martial arts and no one can beat him; the other seems to have a good temper, but is actually cold-hearted and extremely smart, and no one dares to provoke him.

"Although I am older than you, I admire you both very much. One of you likes literature, the other is good at martial arts, one is steady, the other is casual."

"When I was little, I liked being with you more than with people of the same age. You all have different personalities and hobbies, but you are very similar in one thing."

Zhang Xinghe raised his eyes slightly.

Hua Qinyu smiled warmly, "Perseverance, firm belief, indomitable character, and a heart that is not bound."

How can you see these at such a young age?

Zhang Xinghe spoke carefully, "I cannot bear your praise. Your Highness and I have been on the battlefield together, but I was only stained with blood. From a distance, our backs look somewhat similar."

Hua Qinyu gave him an intriguing look, "The one who can see this must be someone you are familiar with."

Zhang Xinghe did not say Xie Yuzhu's name.

Seeing that he remained silent, Hua Qinyu stopped asking and changed the subject, "Third brother has become more and more stable recently, and his actions are quite surprising."

Test?

Zhang Xinghe lowered his eyebrows, "The prince is extremely intelligent, but he never shows it in front of others. In fact, he knows it very well in his heart. He remembers everything that is good to him, and if anyone wants to use it, he will never give in."

"Xinghe, except for my third brother, you are always so cautious with everyone else." He chuckled, with a hint of envy in the depths of his eyes, "You, his good friend, know him better than I, his brother."

"Your Highness has given way to His Majesty today. His Majesty will certainly consider Your Highness's face and will probably meet Your Highness in person after the morning court tomorrow."

Zhang Xinghe returned to the main topic. He did not stay to chat about family matters, but for official business, a major matter. "Does Your Highness have anything to specifically explain about the evidence brought back by Censor Pei?"

Hua Qinyu: "The account book was sent by Han Xin half a year ago."
