Quick Wear: After Binding the Boss

At the entrance of Prince Jin's Mansion.

"Fourth brother, congratulations! You are so young and have been honored as the King of Jin. This honor is much better than what I have as the King of Yan. I am afraid it is not worse than the King of Qin who is the Crown Prince. When you become successful in the future, don't forget your second brother."

In the Dajing Dynasty, the titles of princes were all the same, but the titles of princes were slightly different. They were generally ranked according to Qin, Jin, Qi, Chu, and Yan.

He, the Prince of Yan, was the worst among his brothers. Even the idiot Third Prince was given the title of Prince of Chu, which showed that the emperor did not take him seriously at all.

The Prince of Yan was angry in his heart, but his words were stabbing.

It seems to be praising Xingzhou, but in fact it is still a subtle criticism that Xingzhou wants to be the emperor.

Xing Zhou smiled when he heard this, "I will never forget my second brother no matter who I forget. By the way, is the Empress Dowager okay? I went there because I really wanted to defend her. Who would have thought..."

Prince Yan bit his back teeth, making a clattering sound, and squeezed out a sound from between his teeth.

"Very good, very good, your sister-in-law even asked me to thank you!"

"That's good, that's good. I was just afraid that the Empress's wife would hate me."

Xingzhou seemed not to understand the meaning of King Yan's words and continued to smile.

"By the way, I heard that a thief broke into Prince Yan's mansion last night? Have you reported it to the police? I really don't know who this thief is. He actually dared to steal from Prince Yan of Dajing. He really doesn't know how to live or die. Second brother, if you need my help, just let me know."

"Don't worry about this matter, Prince Jin. My people have already got a clue."

As they were talking, King Yan was led into the banquet by Xingzhou, and then Xingzhou returned to the gate to wait for today's important guest, Emperor Cheng'an of Dajing.

Here, the King of Yan saw that the Crown Prince and the King of Chu were no longer confronting each other as they did when they faced the Star Boat, but were instead very enthusiastic.

"Greetings, eldest brother, third brother."

Prince Yan sat down on the seat next to the Crown Prince and said, "Big Brother, how are you these days? Father will abdicate in three or four years, and I'll have to trouble you to take care of me when the time comes."

"King Yan, you have crossed the line."

The prince's originally cheerful face suddenly turned cold.

The anger in his eyes was undisguised.

This is only Dajing. If it were any other dynasty, if the Prince of Yan dared to say this, the emperor would send him to prison.

The King of Chu standing aside looked at this and that, trying to curl himself up into a ball, not daring to say a word.

I was still praying in my heart, Fourth Brother, please come back soon, I can’t bear it anymore.

"What's the big deal? Father should have abdicated when it was time for him to do so. It's only natural for my brother to take over the throne. Why are you still angry?"

Prince Yan didn't care about the prince's cold face and continued to talk with a smile.

"King Yan——"

Not to mention the verbal sparring between the two people in the inner room, at this time His Majesty the Emperor happened to be visiting the Prince of Jin's Mansion in person.

"The emperor is here, please come in."

Xingzhou is like a mother who invites guests. It is only because Emperor Cheng'an has suffered more, otherwise he would not be able to bear it.

"You are a prince after all. You should be more cautious in your actions in the future to avoid being laughed at by others."

Emperor Cheng'an preached as he walked in.

"Got it." Xing Zhou responded casually, and then said with a smile, "Today is a good day. There is a big surprise waiting for Father."

"Oh? What's the surprise?"

Emperor Cheng'an became interested.

"I can't tell you in advance, or else Father won't be surprised."

Xing Zhou secretly curled his lips. How could I directly tell you that your good son wanted to kill the king? The most important thing is that you may not believe it. It is better to see it with your own eyes.

So that you won’t be soft-hearted anymore.

Emperor Cheng An is not a child after all, and he doesn't have such a strong curiosity. Since Xing Zhou said there is no rush, he will just wait.

The guests and hosts sat down, creating a warm scene.

Emperor Cheng An naturally sat at the head of the table. After everyone greeted him, Xing Zhou stood up and said, "I got a bottle of good wine here. Let's have a taste. Is it good?"

Xingzhou took a cup of hot wine and distributed it to everyone one by one.

When it was King Yan's turn, King Yan smiled and said, "I've been practicing martial arts lately and have had a shortness of breath. I can't drink. I'm really sorry."

"Oh? You got a stitch in the side? Then my brother should be careful. I was so scared that I thought he thought I had poisoned him."

Xingzhou smiled, ignored him, and poured the wine to the King of Chu.

"Hmm? This wine is good, the taste is rich and lingers for a long time. Xiao Si, how much wine do you have?"

Emperor Cheng An exclaimed in praise.

"There is another jar. If you like it, you can take it away later."

Xingzhou twitched the corners of his mouth, hoping that you would still remember it later.

Xingzhou waved his hand and asked the servants to go down.

"Okay, you guys go down first, we don't need anyone to serve us here."

The people in the Prince of Jin's Mansion naturally listened to their master. As for the people of Emperor Cheng'an, they glanced at the emperor and left after getting a signal.

The servants of the others naturally left as well.

After all, can you be more noble than the emperor? The emperor's people have left, so what will it look like if you stay?

The prince knew very well that Emperor Cheng'an really trusted Xingzhou.

The King of Chu was a fool. He didn't think too much about it. Although he was a little confused about why, he chose to believe his good brother.

As for the Prince of Yan, he was very angry. He said that Emperor Cheng An was really great and was not afraid of death.

"Father, I received a confidential letter. Someone wants to deal with you and the Crown Prince. They say they want to poison you. It's scary."

"Hmm? Who is it?"

Emperor Cheng An's expression remained unchanged. It was obvious that there were so many people who wanted to assassinate him that he had gotten used to it.

The prince also had a calm expression.

Only the King of Chu and the King of Yan changed their expressions.

The King of Chu was simply frightened. He wanted to retreat to Xing Zhou's side, but Xing Zhou was with the Emperor. So he had no choice but to retreat to the Crown Prince's side and begged in a low voice, "Crown Brother, protect me."

The prince smiled, reached out and touched the King of Chu's head, and said gently: "Don't worry, brother will protect you."

Prince Yan was different. The way he looked at Xingzhou changed. His expression became cold and he could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his eyes.

"I don't know the specifics. I just overheard it. The man seemed to be seriously injured. He died before he could finish his words. I only vaguely heard that he poisoned the emperor. My father happened to be here today, so I told him so that he and the crown prince could be on guard to avoid any unexpected consequences."

Xing Zhou did not look at Prince Yan, but instead looked at Emperor Cheng An and the Crown Prince with a sincere tone.

"You are thoughtful." Emperor Cheng An praised him, and then they ate and drank as if nothing had happened.

While eating, Emperor Cheng An suddenly said something.

"Speaking of which, I heard that a thief broke into Prince Yan's mansion last night? But have you found out who was so bold?"

The Prince of Yan quickly gathered his thoughts and responded, "The thief stole several antiques. I injured him during the fight. I thought I could catch him and send him to the governor of Kyoto today. But my son's people searched all night and couldn't find him. I think he still has people. I was going to report to the authorities after attending the banquet of my fourth brother."

Emperor Cheng An nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The King of Yan forced himself to remain calm, as if he didn't take the matter to heart at all.

Xing Zhou looked at his father, then at King Yan. He laughed in his heart. His father probably didn't think much about it, but King Yan had to think a lot. King Yan must be sweating profusely at this moment.

Xingzhou waited with a smile on his face for King Yan to poison him.

But there was no time to wait, Xingzhou had been drinking with them for a long time, but the King of Yan just wouldn't take any action.

Xing Zhou was a little anxious. What was wrong with the Prince of Yan? He was quite flamboyant at the door, but why did he become so weak when he met the Emperor? He was really useless.

Forget it, I'd better go out first.

Seeing this, Xingzhou had no choice but to apologize and then got up to entertain the guests outside.

As the star ship left, King Yan's eyes, which had been blurred by drunkenness, changed instantly. He forced his internal energy to sober up a little.

Then he took out the poisonous flower and placed it lightly on the table.

The sharp-eyed King Chu immediately noticed the flower that King Yan took out, and asked with a silly smile: "Second brother, what kind of flower is this? It's so beautiful."

"Does it look good? It's a killer flower."

The Prince of Yan finally stopped pretending, and Emperor Cheng An reacted instantly and scolded him, "Prince of Yan! What do you want to do?"
