In the previous life, the tyrant died for love, and in this life, I became addicted to pampering him

"I am very touched that my uncle can come to Beijing to visit me. I would like to arrange for my uncle and his family to stay in the villa outside Beijing for a while. How do you think?"

When Liu Dongsheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Very unhappy.

This prince actually said he was only staying temporarily?

Not even mentioning the fact that I won’t give you money or an official position!

You don’t even want to give me a house?

Is he stupid?

Don’t you want to support a reliable family member to help in the court?

But he didn't show it.

Just smiled and hinted at him:

"Your Highness, please take care of me, but this villa in the suburbs of Beijing is too far from the imperial palace.

Uncle came to Beijing this time just to take care of you! Living in the suburbs of Beijing, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient..."

Chu Hanxiao smiled.

Don't beat around the bush with him.

Asked directly:

"So what does uncle want?"

There was a hint of coercion in his tone.

Seeing this, Liu Dongsheng felt inexplicably frightened.

He lowered his head guiltily.

I dare not mention being an official again.

He rolled his eyes and said:

"How about I leave Qiao'er in the palace to take care of His Highness? This is a small token of my uncle's kindness."

"unnecessary."

Chu Hanxiao refused straightforwardly without even thinking about it.

Liu Dongsheng refused to give up.

She just wanted to give her daughter to him.

He fantasized that his daughter could be his favorite concubine and that their family would prosper.

"Your Highness, your uncle knows that you have just returned to the palace, and the palace is empty, and you need a close friend to serve you.

Don’t underestimate Wenqiao because she is young. She knows everything about people and has been very caring since she was a child…”

Chu Hanxiao snorted and interrupted him.

It means something:

"I didn't expect that my uncle would care so much about the affairs of the lonely palace?"

Seeing Chu Hanxiao's tone suddenly become heavier.

The sensible guards raised their hands.

He clenched the sword at his waist neatly.

Liu Dongsheng was stunned.

He straightened his upper body and looked around panicky.

I saw a circle of guards standing in the hall, all on high alert.

He quickly stood up and clasped his fists to apologize.

"I dare not. I just heard about it. I have no intention of snooping into the palace secrets..."

Chu Hanxiao seemed to be smiling but was not.

She raised her hand and motioned for him to stand up.

"Don't be nervous, uncle. It's just a casual chat."

Liu Dongsheng swallowed.

He quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Hanxiao's face.

He didn't seem angry.

The bodyguards also put down their swords.

Then he nodded and returned to his seat.

"Yes Yes."

Liu Wenqiao held the handkerchief and nervously stood up with her father, not daring to sit down again.

He stood politely behind Liu Dongsheng's chair.

Seeing that his face was pale, he was still frightened.

I couldn't help but speak out:

"Don't blame me, cousin. Father is worried about you, so he pays extra attention to the rumors about you."

Chu Hanxiao lowered his eyes.

He didn't even look up at her.

He just skimmed the tea foam and asked sarcastically:

"Oh? Rumors? Uncle, what rumors have you heard about me?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Dongsheng nervously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He spoke with a trembling voice.

"It's just some folk tales among the people... not worth mentioning."

"It's just a small talk, uncle, please feel free to talk."

Liu Dongsheng glanced at the prince's guards behind him.

Hesitant and a little timid.

He didn't expect...

This Chu Hanxiao was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

But now that things have come to this, I can only go on with it.

"Rumor has it... that His Highness was once the male lover of the Prime Minister's daughter..."

The smile on Chu Hanxiao's lips deepened.

He dismissed the maid and poured more tea.

"anything else?"

"They also said...they said that the Prime Minister's daughter treated Your Highness badly and would beat and scold him at any time..."

His voice grew weaker.

Seeing Chu Hanxiao pause in pouring the tea, he was so nervous that his breathing also stopped.

I thought he would be furious.

The argument is nonsense!

But who would have thought...

But he chuckled out loud.

He murmured softly, as if talking to himself.

“It’s not really false.”

"what?"

Liu Dongsheng opened his eyes wide in surprise.

I couldn't help but ask out loud.

Liu Wenqiao, who was standing behind him, also raised his head in confusion.

When I saw that handsome face, my eyes were filled with deep heartache.

I'm almost crying!

Was my cousin really abused?

Chu Hanxiao didn't care.

explained:

"Before I returned to the palace, I was indeed the male favorite of the daughter of the prime minister's family, but..."

He held up the teacup and smiled freely.

"She treats me very well. Although she is a little hard to please sometimes, she is not as domineering as the rumors say."

Liu Wenqiao was a little surprised.

She can see...

When the prince's cousin talked about that woman, the smile on his face was very happy!

This was inconsistent with her perception.

As high as a prince, second only to the emperor and above everyone else!

Shouldn't we be ashamed of our past misery?

Once he comes to power, he should cut those who insult him into pieces!

How could he talk about the dirty things of the past with a smile?

She was puzzled...

Liu Dongsheng had some guesses.

The prince would behave like this because he must be afraid of the power of the prime minister's office.

After all, he had just returned to the palace, and his position as crown prince was unstable.

It is understandable that he does not dare to offend the Prime Minister.

but……

"Uncle knows that Your Highness has suffered a lot over the years. Now that he has returned to the palace, he can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Now, as long as you take power back into your own hands, Your Highness will no longer be controlled by others!"

He made plans for Chu Hanxiao earnestly.

He stated his purpose cryptically:

“Uncle also knows that there is no one available in the court, and Your Highness will inevitably be restricted in what he can do.

If there is anything that your uncle can help your Highness with, your Highness must not be polite to your own family!"

He thought he had said it all.

But Chu Hanxiao just couldn't understand it no matter what.

"Uncle, what you said is very true. I will take note of it."

Such an ambitious person who wanted to help him seize power...

Chu Hanxiao doesn’t dare to use it!

If he is not careful, not only himself, but also the Xie Luo family will be dragged into the water by him!

He pretended to pull the corner of his mouth.

He instructed considerately:

"It's getting late. Uncle, you've come a long way and must be exhausted. Go back and rest early..."

Liu Dongsheng still held on to a glimmer of hope.

He wanted to keep Liu Wenqiao by his side.

"Then Your Highness, would you like to try to get along with Qiao'er first?"

"Let's go back!"

Chu Hanxiao put down the teacup.

A hammer is fixed.

The prince's guards came forward to escort them out of the palace.

Liu Dongsheng had no choice but to bring the person out first.

The man in the carriage was still muttering:

"I feel that this prince is... a little too cautious. I'm afraid he won't be able to achieve anything!"

Liu Wenqiao originally disagreed with her father's approach.

I don't want to enter the palace.

But after meeting Chu Hanxiao, he changed his mind.

This cousin is so handsome!

She wanted to stay with him.

Then he asked unwillingly:

"Father, are you saying that my cousin didn't want to keep me because of that daughter of the prime minister?"

"Yes, can't you see? He is still afraid of the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion and dare not offend the Prime Minister!"

Hear the words.

She rolled up her handkerchief and made her own plans.

Since my cousin didn't want to keep her, he was afraid that the legitimate daughter would not agree...

Then all she needs to do is get the consent of the legitimate daughter, right?

She can explain...

She does not covet the position of Crown Princess, and when her cousin succeeds to the throne in the future, she will not dream of becoming Queen!

It won't threaten her position.

I just want to serve my cousin and be an ordinary concubine.

This way...it should be okay, right?
