As Chu Yunxi expected, this was a handsome face with a pair of very charming peach blossom eyes and a fair complexion. He was the kind of look that girls liked very much.

Wu Lingqi took off the black scarf and said, "I'm very sorry for hiding my identity before. I can see that you are not ordinary people. I am very grateful for your willingness to help me. After thinking about it, I'd better reveal my identity first. You can decide whether to help me or not. I don't want to cause trouble for you."

This was the first time he spoke so much since he was rescued. He was gentle and polite, with an extraordinary demeanor, and it was obvious that he came from a wealthy family.

Chu Yunxi smiled slightly, "You are too polite, sir."

Wu Lingqi put down the cup, clasped his fists and said, "I am Wu Lingqi, the prince of Qi Wangfu."

Chu Yunxi did not show any surprise, she said calmly: "Hello, Prince."

This actually surprised Wu Lingqi. He frowned and asked, "Have you two known my identity for a long time?"

Chu Yunxi took out the missing person notice and said, "I just learned that the prince is coming."

Wu Lingqi understood as soon as he saw the notice, and the doubts that had just arisen in his heart were immediately dispelled. He secretly cursed himself for being suspicious. How could the benefactor know his identity before? There were notices everywhere in Kala City. If he didn't know it after coming here, it would be wrong.

"Then I wonder if Madam is still willing to help me?"

Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei, and they smiled at each other. Chu Yunxi said, "Help, why not? Do we look like cowards?"

After Wu Lingqi asked, he was actually a little nervous. After hearing Chu Yunxi's answer, he breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her. Then he asked Xiao Mubei, "What's your name, sir?"

Xiao Mubei said: "My last name is Xiao."

Wu Lingqi was stunned. Xiao was the surname of the Dasui royal family, just like Wu was the surname of the Nandi royal family. He understood that the identity of the person in front of him was probably not simple. He felt more relieved in his heart, because in this way he would not be implicated by him. That person was cruel and ruthless, and he was very afraid that his savior would be harmed.

Since Xiao Mubei did not reveal his identity to him, Wu Lingqi did not ask any more questions and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Xiao and Madam Xiao first."

Next, Wu Lingqi told Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi about his experience. It turned out that the person who harmed him was the eldest son of King Qi and his biological brother, Wu Jiaqi.

Wu Jiaqi was not born to the Princess of Qi, but to the concubine Qin. So although he was the eldest son, he was a bastard's son. The Prince of Qi was a prince, and the throne was hereditary. The eldest son of the Prince of Qi's Mansion would be the future Prince of Qi.

Whether to establish the eldest son or the legitimate son has always been a controversial issue. Wu Jiaqi has been very talented since he was young and has a high opinion of himself. Wu Lingqi has always loved to follow him and cling to him since he was young, and he also admired him very much, calling him brother. Therefore, Wu Jiaqi has never taken his younger brother seriously since he was young, even though he is the legitimate son.

Wu Lingqi was indeed not as outstanding as Wu Jiaqi. He was not good at studying and spent his days playing around with a bunch of children from wealthy families. He ate all the delicacies in Kara City and played in the nearby grasslands and mountains. There was almost no one in Kara City who didn't know him.

The King of Qi has always loved Wu Lingqi, although he was a little disappointed with him, but this did not stop him from treating Wu Lingqi as a treasure as the apple of his eye. When Wu Lingqi turned 18 and became an adult, the King of Qi announced without hesitation that Wu Lingqi, as the legitimate son, would inherit the throne of the King of Qi and become the eldest son of the Qi Palace.

As soon as the decision was announced, Wu Jiaqi left on the spot and did not leave the room for three whole days. Wu Lingqi did not expect that his father would actually give him the position of crown prince. He felt that he seemed a little sorry for his elder brother.

But even though the eldest brother locked himself up for three days, he still treated him the same when he came out three days later. The eldest brother told him, "I know this is not your fault, you don't need to blame yourself. Father made you the crown prince for a reason. It must be that I didn't do well enough. It doesn't matter. We brothers will support each other in the future. It doesn't matter who becomes the crown prince."

Wu Lingqi finally felt relieved and didn't think too much about it afterwards. He just thought that if he became a prince in the future, he would definitely not treat his elder brother badly. It would be fine as long as his elder brother didn't mind.

Because of guilt, he became closer to his elder brother. No matter what he did or where he went, he thought of his elder brother. Strangely enough, his elder brother never went out with him to eat, drink, ride horses or play before, but since then, as long as Wu Lingqi called him, he would go. Gradually, his friends also became his elder brother's friends, and his elder brother knew his whereabouts very well.

Wu Lingqi didn't realize anything. He thought that his elder brother might be a little discouraged and didn't want to study anymore, so he wanted to follow him to relax.

So whenever there was a gathering, he would call him "Big Brother" more frequently, until that time.

Wu Lingqi remembered it very clearly. The weather was very good that day, especially suitable for horse racing on the grassland. So, he invited a few friends and his eldest brother to go horse racing outside the city. However, his eldest brother said that he was not feeling well and did not go. He also cared about his eldest brother, but his eldest brother said that he just caught a cold and would be fine after taking two doses of medicine. He asked him to go and play by himself first and he would accompany him out after he recovered.

Wu Lingqi did not suspect anything, so he left the city alone and came to the grassland. However, for some reason, he waited and waited, but none of his friends showed up. He was bored of waiting, so he thought about running a few laps first. But who would have thought that someone had set up a tripwire on the path he had to take. He was tripped without warning and fell to the ground. There was a knockout drug sprinkled on the ground, and when he fell on it, he inhaled it into his nose and soon lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was tied up in a carriage that was speeding. He found that his hands and feet were tied and he could not move. His mouth was gagged and he could not speak. His body was as soft as cotton and he even had difficulty raising his head.

Someone was talking outside the carriage, a rough voice said, "I didn't expect this brother to be so cruel. He could kill his own brother without hesitation."

Another voice said, "There are so many royal children who kill each other for power. It's not surprising. The money this guy gave us is enough for us brothers to spend for several years. He spent money to buy his life, and we made money by killing people. It's just that this boy has a miserable life and has such a cruel brother."

Wu Lingqi was shocked as if struck by a bolt from the blue. He then realized that it was his eldest brother who wanted to kill him. But why? Was it just for the position of crown prince?

Wu Lingqi couldn't understand why his elder brother didn't care about the brotherhood at all if he really wanted it and told him that he could give it to him? In his heart, was his younger brother's life not as important as the position of a prince?

Wu Lingqi was extremely desperate, and what made him even more desperate was what the person outside said next.
