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

Seeing that Shen Jinyao insisted, Xiang Hongxuan was afraid that Shen Jinyao would be disgusted, so he had to go back to the restaurant.

The prince looked at the person who had returned and raised his eyebrows.

Xiang Hongxuan silently picked up the wine on the table and drank it alone.

When Xiang Hongxuan drank the third cup, the prince blocked Xiang Hongxuan's hand with a fan.

"Xiang Hongxuan, what happened? This is not like you."

The prince grew up with Xiang Hongxuan, and he knew Xiang Hongxuan's temper.

Although he is a bit dull and doesn't like to talk much, he is a straightforward person and never drinks alone.

Xiang Hongxuan stopped drinking and looked at the prince seriously.

"Have the people in the emperor's hands been replaced?"

The prince knew that Xiang Hongxuan was talking about the people around the emperor.

Seeing that Xiang Hongxuan's expression was still grim, he could only tell the truth: "Except for Eunuch Gao, there is no problem with the others."

"Okay, I'm going to the palace tonight."

The prince frowned, not understanding what was wrong with Xiang Hongxuan.

"What are you going to do? What's wrong with you?"

"Hahaha, what else can he do? The prince is so clueless."

The door was opened from the outside, and who else could it be but the eldest prince laughing so loudly and arrogantly.

The crown prince was very dissatisfied with the eldest prince's behavior.

"I didn't know that the eldest prince has developed a habit of eavesdropping."

When the eldest prince heard the crown prince say this about him, he immediately retorted, "Does this restaurant belong to your family? If you want to blame someone, you can only blame them for talking too loudly. Your people are too stupid."

The prince ignored the eldest prince's indifference.

I don’t know if it’s his illusion, but I always feel that the eldest prince has become more unscrupulous since he became the crown prince.

It seemed as if he was against her every day.

But this kind of "opposition" is all overt.

More like a child who only knows how to argue about right and wrong.

The prince shouted, "Take your men out."

The eldest prince said dissatisfiedly: "The prince is different now that he is the crown prince. He never dared to speak loudly to me before."

The guards on both sides were already on edge outside the door, with their swords drawn. They had already grasped the hilts of their swords, ready to protect their masters at any time.

The two parties stayed far away from the door, not wanting the other to eavesdrop.

The Crown Prince did not intend to get involved in unnecessary entanglement with the First Prince.

"Since the eldest prince likes this place, we will leave it to you."

The eldest prince snorted in dissatisfaction, "You want to give me the leftovers?"

"You can't even understand the thoughts of your subordinates, yet you still think about the great cause. I think you'll just have to wait for your father to take you down."

The prince was also unconvinced and said, "I don't know, do you know? I think you are just here to find fault and sow discord."

The eldest prince snorted, picked up the teacup on the table and was about to drink, but it was taken away by Xiang Hongxuan.

That is Shen Jinyao's cup.

"I'm trying to sow discord? Just ask yourself, if I hadn't delivered the message today, would Miss Shen have been able to leave the palace smoothly?"

"Without me, would Xiang Hongxuan have thought of looking for Shen Jinyao?"

hum.

The prince glanced at Xiang Hongxuan quickly and saw that his face was frank.

It’s not that he doubted Xiang Hongxuan, as he knew what kind of person the eldest prince was.

If Xiang Hongxuan ran to the eldest prince's camp because of the eldest prince's instigation, he would have lived in vain.

But to be honest, he also felt uncomfortable.

After all, Hongxuan hadn't told him any of these things.

Seeing that the prince was about to argue with the eldest prince, Xiang Hongxuan rubbed his brows.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Prince, what do you want?"

He sent him a letter, making him hate the emperor, and now he comes here to tell the prince about it.

Now he just wants to go to the palace and poison the emperor.

Since the emperor knew everything about Shen Jinyao in Wuhe Village, he didn't believe that the emperor was unaware of his feelings for Shen Jinyao.

Ever since he returned to Shangjing, he has been a chess piece in the hands of the emperor.

To be precise, ever since he chose the third prince, the emperor had already figured out how to deal with him.

Reality confuses right and wrong, and only talks about his mistakes without considering his achievements.

Then she took advantage of Xue's relationship with the queen and found an excuse that he was disrespectful to his parents to drive him out of the Xiang family.

Now, he wants to take action against Shen Jinyao again.

This is his bottom line.

When they were in the carriage, not only did he ask questions carefully, but Shen Jinyao also answered vaguely.

Who would have thought that after explaining things clearly to the prince, the emperor would be so shameless.

Since the prince said that the people around the emperor have been replaced almost completely, he will try tonight to see if these people are reliable.

He urged the eldest prince with his eyes.

The eldest prince noticed that Xiang Hongxuan was angry, and thought that the old emperor must have said something to Shen Jinyao.

What was done was impossible.

If the old emperor had succeeded, Shen Jinyao would not have returned safely.

He also couldn't wait to see the emperor's expression.

"What could I possibly want? Me, don't you know that?"

"Everyone says I only know how to eat, drink and have fun. If I become the emperor in the future, I will definitely be a licentious emperor. Haha..."

"So, I came here today to urge the prince to hurry up."

When the prince heard what the eldest prince said before, the corners of his mouth twitched.

I was very confused after hearing that.

"Why are you rushing me? I don't owe you anything."

Seeing that there were no other cups on the table, the eldest prince picked up the wine jug and started drinking.

When he had almost finished drinking, he continued, "Of course I'm urging you to take that seat quickly and stop making people panic every day."

"I just want to live a peaceful and tranquil life. I have no interest in your ambitions."

The prince was suspicious, "Really?"

The eldest prince sneered, "Humph, I know you don't believe me. That's why I urged you to hurry up, before the emperor kills you."

"You can believe it or not. Let's go."

The eldest prince came and went in a hurry, leaving Xiang Hongxuan and the prince alone in the room.

"Tell me, is what the eldest prince said true?"

Xiang Hongxuan: "Time will tell whether he is sincere or not. If he is not sincere, then what he did today will not benefit him in any way."

That’s true. After all, without the emperor, the eldest prince would never be able to confront the crown prince.

The eldest prince can only ascend the throne by starting from the position of crown prince.

It’s just that the Queen’s mother’s family has no military power.

They are all civil officials.

Therefore, the one who least wants the emperor to be defeated should be the eldest prince.

"I am leaving."

Xiang Hongxuan left a message and stood up to leave.

The Crown Prince: "So what did the eldest prince just say?"

He stood up and explained, "I'm not blaming you, or doubting you. I just feel that your current situation is all because of me."

"Your business is my business. Am I less useful than the Crown Prince?"

Xiang Hongxuan knew that if he didn't explain clearly today, the prince would not let him enter the palace.

He sighed and simply told the Crown Prince how the eldest prince had taken the initiative to approach him to comfort him and pass on messages to him in the past two days.

For some reason, the prince thought of the abnormal behavior of Xiang Hongxuan and Shen Jinyao just now.

It turns out that it’s because of love.

"You go, I won't stop you. I'll take care of you if anything goes wrong. Don't worry, I'll help you go to the Shen family."
