The leaves fall without parallel

Prince Xian's Mansion

"Sixth brother, Third brother will eventually hurt himself by doing this. Do you have any way to persuade him?"

Xiao Chen put away his former unruly demeanor and was now seriously discussing with the Sixth Prince how to persuade Prince Xuan to turn back.

The Sixth Prince frowned. He had not expected that the Third Brother would do this. However, he had no chance of winning against him. He shook his head and said,

"Do you think I can persuade him? Now that my father has died at his hands, he has turned his back on his family. If I rush to him now and try to persuade him to change his ways, what difference would that make me committing suicide?"

After hearing his words, Xiao Chen tightened his grip on the teacup. He thought carefully about what had happened over the past long time. Perhaps the sudden attack by the Northern Barbarian Tribe was the work of his third brother.

He had been seriously injured before and could not go on the expedition, but there were voices in the court calling for the crown prince to go on an expedition to the northern barbarians. Could it be that he had deliberately injured himself and then took this opportunity to transfer the crown prince away and force the emperor to abdicate?

Xiao Yeye has now been forced by him to be the queen, and tomorrow is the queen coronation ceremony. Everything he did was for tomorrow, right?

Thinking of this, he put the teacup down heavily on the table, not even noticing the tea in the cup splashing onto his hands.

Third brother, third brother, I used to admire you so much, but now you do such a despicable thing. I guess I misjudged you.

The Sixth Prince was frightened by his action. Looking at his face which was as black as the bottom of a pot, he could not help but ask

"Xiao Chen, are you okay? The one who died was my father, not yours. Why are you so excited?"

Xiao Chen looked up at him unhappily

"Yes, your father is dead. How long do you think you can remain the wise king? Humph."

Xiao Chen suddenly stood up and left without looking back. He knew that he could not rely on his sixth brother. He originally wanted to ask his sixth brother to persuade his third brother to release Xiao Yeye. He overestimated his ability.

The Sixth Prince was very puzzled when he saw Xiao Chen's angry back. His Third Brother didn't do anything to him, so why was he so angry?

Xiao Chen walked out of the Xianwang Mansion angrily. He walked aimlessly on the street. He didn't know how Xiao Yeye was doing. I heard that Xiao Xueer went to the palace to save Xiao Yeye yesterday and was caught by the third brother. She almost died in his hands.

According to the princess's character, if something like this happened in the past, she would definitely make a scene in the palace. However, today, it was almost dark, and there was no movement in the princess's mansion.

It seems that the eldest princess can only suffer in silence this time and let the matter go. Sixth brother is right. Third brother has become heartless now. Anyone who provokes him will only die. So how can he rescue Xiao Ye Ye?

If it were in the past, he could go to the palace alone and bring the person out without anyone noticing, but now the entire palace is heavily guarded, and he doesn't have much chance of winning.

Xiao Si beside him looked at him and asked

"My Lord, shall we go back home or...?"

Xiao Chen glanced at him and said

"You go back first, I have something important to do."

After he finished speaking, he walked straight to the busy street in front. Xiao Si had no choice but to go back first. There was no way the prince just didn't like people following him.

When the girls in Yihongyuan saw Xiao Chen coming, their eyes lit up and they rushed over to invite him in.

Xiao Chen was surrounded by a group of women and walked into Yihong Courtyard

Yihongyuan was closed down for a period of time due to human trafficking. After the closure, the owner changed and the business resumed.

These women were familiar faces, but Xiao Chen was not interested in them at all. He frowned and looked at the slender hands on his arms.

The woman noticed Xiao Chen's dissatisfied look and quickly let him go.

He said to the new brothel owner

"Bring out all your fine wines. I want to drink to my heart's content tonight."

The madam smiled and twisted her waist and asked

"Will the drinks be delivered to that room?"

"Um"

Xiao Chen responded, and then went upstairs alone. He opened the door. Every time he came here, he would think of the night he spent with Xiao Yeye.

Although the two were just acting at the time, Xiao Yeye's rosy face has been lingering in his mind ever since, and her charming voice has always lingered in his ears.

He didn't know how he restrained himself at that time. If it weren't for his third brother, he would have really thrown Xiao Yeye to the ground.

Xiao Chen drank a few glasses of wine in succession. At this time, the door was pushed open and a slim woman walked in. She sat down beside him naturally and poured him a glass of wine.

The wine jug was suddenly taken away, and Xiao Chen looked at the person in front of him gloomily.

"What are you here for?"

Ruyan's expression paused, then continued to smile.

"My Lord, is there anything bothering you? Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you solve your problem."

Xiao Chen said disdainfully

"What do you know"

Then he started drinking again

Ruyan was not annoyed, and continued to pour wine for him silently beside him. She just hoped that he could be happier.

Since his mother passed away, he was still in grief at such a young age. His father took another concubine in just one year, and his father had no time to take care of him. He simply could not accept his father's infidelity.

From then on, he started to "not do his job properly". Ruyan had been with him for so long and actually knew that he was kind-hearted, but he just pretended to be a playboy on the surface.

At least they had been together for so long, but he had never really touched her, so he lingered in red-light districts just to make his father remember him more. However, his father only thought that he had gone astray and was beyond redemption, and he no longer cared about him.

Xiao Chen drank a lot of wine, and seeing the man in front of him start to stagger, he shook his head and asked

"Xiao Ye Ye, is that you?"

Ruyan held his hand and paused. "Xiao Ye Ye? The beautiful woman on the cruise ship during last year's Mid-Autumn Festival?"
