After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

The third prince said nothing after hearing this.

Out of consideration for his friendship with the Third Prince, Xiang Hongxuan had to make his words more clear.

"Chengxuan, you are the one who is in charge."

The third prince raised his chin and motioned Xiang Hongxuan to continue.

Ever since he came to Quzhou, Xiang Hongxuan has always been polite to him.

It seemed as if the two of them would never be able to return to the intimate relationship they had before.

However, there are people around him who can speak their true feelings without restraint.

There was only Xiang Hongxuan left.

"The emperor's decree mentioned three people."

"There are you, me, and Pan Ye."

"Pan Ye is obviously the emperor's man, and you and I are also one in the eyes of others. Therefore, the emperor wants the three of us to fight for power."

But it was obvious that the emperor had miscalculated.

Neither the Third Prince nor Pan Ye had any intention of competing with Xiang Hongxuan for power in the matter of marching and fighting.

"I know this, but why did the emperor involve Pan Ye?"

"If the emperor wants to check and balance you and me, he can just target you and me. Why does he need Pan Ye to be his right-hand man?"

Pan Ye could have been watching them from the side.

Just like before in the palace.

This time, the emperor not only gave Pan Ye real power, but also gave him the same status as Xiang Hongxuan.

Both are smart people.

Xiang Hongxuan also thought of what the third prince could think of.

but……

The third prince saw Xiang Hongxuan's hesitation.

He glanced at the team in the distance, turned his back to Xiang Hongxuan, and said softly, "Hongxuan, no matter what happens, you and I will not change."

This sentence sounds like a promise and also like an explanation.

Although the Third Prince didn't know what he was explaining, he didn't know what exactly had happened that made Xiang Hongxuan estranged from him.

But he knew that Xiang Hongxuan knew what he was talking about.

After hearing this, Xiang Hongxuan glanced at the third prince.

He looked into the distance.

He couldn't remember exactly when he and the third prince became estranged.

But this time he did it because the third prince wanted to kill Shen Jinyao.

If an ordinary woman is targeted just because she has some abilities, will she be targeted?

At this time, Xiang Hongxuan had completely forgotten that he had suspected Shen Jinyao in the same way before.

He knew that Shen Jinyao was just a fuse.

He had treated the third prince like this a long time ago.

But this does not prevent him from supporting the Third Prince when he needs it.

The royal family is ruthless, he kept telling himself.

Xiang Hongxuan sighed in his heart.

"A rise in name only, a fall in reality."

The one who was promoted was Pan Ye, and the one who was demoted was the third prince.

Putting Pan Ye on the chess board shows a lack of trust in Xiang Hongxuan and the third prince.

As for why the emperor trusts Pan Ye so much.

Xiang Hongxuan thought that Pan Ye probably didn’t have any family.

The third prince looked at Xiang Hongxuan and knew that he had not finished speaking.

He looked into the distance.

He only said, "I'm afraid Pan Ye has more than just this one imperial decree."

Xiang Hongxuan cannot be denied.

He thought so too.

It is impossible for the emperor to issue such an unclear decree. There must be other arrangements behind it.

To put it bluntly, they are just pawns of the emperor.

But they all knew.

The emperor only has these sons. Unless he wants to support the eldest prince, the third prince is the only suitable candidate.

Xiang Hongxuan attributed this to the emperor's suspicious nature.

Xiang Hongxuan: "Okay, time to go."

Pan Ye seemed not to have noticed Xiang Hongxuan and the third prince going to another place to talk. He was just half lying against the stone.

He was wiping his knife in his hand.

Xiang Hongxuan glanced at him.

I feel that Pan Ye is becoming more and more weird.

I don’t know why these people always want to fight for power.

Since there must be chaos.

He still likes to be the emperor, maybe the third prince.

……

The team continued to move forward, and after another half day, they arrived at the camp.

The Qiang military camp also received the news soon.

But in the past two days, something seemed to be wrong with the soldiers.

"Prince, these past two days..."

The eldest prince was discussing with Zhao Chengyun how to deal with Xiang Hongxuan. When he heard the deputy general talking behind him, he asked.

"what happened?"

"My prince, the people in the barracks are restless these past two days, and rumors are everywhere."

"What rumors?"

Zhao Chengxuan was also confused. What kind of rumors could make people so uneasy?

"This……"

The deputy general looked at Zhao Chengyun and then at the eldest prince.

The eldest prince glared at the deputy general.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

The deputy general had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell what he had heard.

"Someone in the team is saying..."

"They say that the young master is the prince of Kyushu Kingdom and a guest of honor of the eldest princess..."

When the eldest prince first heard the first half of the sentence, he didn't react at all.

Of course he knew that the person standing next to him was the prince of Jiuzhou Kingdom, but he really didn't know what the relationship between the second prince and her sister was.

The second prince Zhao Chengyun sneered.

This princess is so stupid that she can't even hide such a small piece of news.

Once he gains the eldest prince's trust, he will no longer need the eldest princess.

Zhao Chengyun said, "Where did this rumor come from? I have met the Grand Princess, but when did I become her 'guest of honor'?"

The eldest prince looked at Zhao Chengyun carefully and saw a hint of anger on his face.

"Snapped!"

The eldest prince slammed the table, and no one dared to speak.

Only the Second Prince did not show much panic on his face.

"Didn't you hear what Master Zhao said? Who is spreading rumors and causing trouble?"

The deputy general lowered his head and said, "The brothers are all talking about it."

Zhao Chengyun said, "That's impossible. Someone must be deliberately slandering me. Prince, find that person."

The eldest prince felt that this matter was not simple.

How come he doesn’t know that the second prince has a relationship with the eldest princess?

If it is true, the princess will definitely not let the news leak out.

but……

If it is fake, then what is the purpose of those who spread this news?

After his men had all left, the second prince spoke.

"Grand Prince, have you ever thought about why those people wanted to make my identity public?"

"Isn't it to disrupt the morale of the army?"

"Prince, who benefits from disrupting the morale of the army?"

"It can't be me who was banished to Kyushu Country, right?"

Seeing that the eldest prince remained unmoved, the second prince continued, "Prince, don't forget our purpose."

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, the Second Prince is indeed eloquent. Unlike us Qiang people, we solve problems with our fists."

The second prince knew that the eldest prince was weakening the culture of Kyushu Kingdom, but he didn't mind.

In his eyes, the eldest prince was the most stupid person.

However, only fools can be exploited by him.

Therefore, the second prince just smiled.

"Report!"

"The person who spread the news is called Xiao Hei, and he has not been found."
