Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Song Youji's deep voice echoed in the hall.

At this moment, anyone could sense the anger in his heart.

"I...Father, I know I was wrong. Big brother's offering of treasures is definitely a great achievement. It's my narrow vision. Please forgive me, Father."

The Fourth Prince looked pale.

If it were before, he would have to make some excuses for everything he said.

But now that he had just been beaten, when he thought of how ruthless Song Youji was last time, how could he dare to be stubborn?

The first thing he did was to lower his head.

Such a change made Song Youji's complexion look much better.

"Hmph, at least you have some conscience and can say this. I won't bother with you this time."

"However, you have wronged your eldest brother. This matter is not over yet. He is getting married soon. When the time comes, you and the third brother will each have to prepare a generous gift."

"You must personally deliver it to the mansion. If I cannot satisfy him, I will make you two regret it!"

"Yes, Father!"

The two princes who were named bowed in response immediately.

However, when he lowered his head, the third prince Song Qi turned his face slightly to the side.

Sensing the resentment and anger deep in the Fourth Prince's eyes, ripples began to form in his heart.

This fourth brother is quite capable.

There are some forces in the imperial city.

If he could sow discord between him and Song Yuan, it would definitely give Song Yuan a headache.

If this happens again, it will cause Song Youji's dissatisfaction.

When two people fight each other, isn't it me who wins in the end?

……

After a while, the morning court was over.

Song Yuan was pacing in the palace, but unexpectedly, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Brother, please stay!"

Huh?

Song Yuan looked back and saw the third prince Song Qi jogging towards him.

His face was burning.

What else is this guy going to do?

It's okay to just put on a show in front of my father.

Still want to confuse me?

You think I'm a fool, don't you?

After glancing at the Royal Guards around him, Song Yuan finally suppressed his annoyance and spoke to Song Qi with a smile.

"Third brother, why are you looking for me so urgently? Is there something wrong?"

"Brother... I just want to apologize to you in person." The third prince Song Qi had a sincere look on his face, and his eyes flushed as he spoke.

He rubbed his eyes and then continued, "Brother, I was wrong before. I was narrow-minded. I feel even more guilty that you could say such words in the palace."

"Brother, I sincerely apologize to you here. From now on, I will never give you any trouble again. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me. I promise that as long as I can solve it, I will never say a word!"

This guy, is he still addicted to acting?

As Song Qi was speaking, he seemed to be possessed by a drama spirit and actually choked up in front of him.

There was suddenly something strange in Song Yuan's eyes.

But in just a few breaths, he reacted.

Isn't it just about acting?

Who wouldn’t be the best actor now?

"Third brother, I'm very pleased to hear you say this!"

"As the saying goes, a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold, but I think that if you really want to express your gratitude, you should thank your father first!"

"If he hadn't beaten you three days ago, how could you have suddenly become so sensible?"

hiss……

When Song Qi heard Song Yuan mention three days ago, he almost couldn't hold his breath. That beating was so deep in his memory that he only felt the wound itchy, as if it had relapsed.

After listening to Song Yuan's words, Song Qi felt even more uncomfortable.

What does it mean to suddenly become sensible?

You treated me like a young boy!

If it were in the past, Song Qi would have definitely turned against Song Yuan based on these two sentences.

But now.

Seeing that his disguise had just begun to work, if he turned against her at this moment, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted?

"Big brother is teaching me a lesson, and I didn't take it into consideration."

Song Qi said this, bowing with extra sincerity.

Seeing his attitude, Song Yuan's eyes couldn't help but become more serious.

It seems that this guy in front of me has really come to his senses.

Song Yuan doesn't believe that a weasel is paying New Year's greetings to a chicken.

The only explanation is that the other party has other intentions.

To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than having the guidance of an expert who may have figured out the key to the problem.

Since you want to act.

Then I'll stick with you till the end.

"Third brother, the way you put it makes it seem like I was being too difficult before."

"Don't worry, Third Brother. Just based on what you said today, we can put aside our differences and make peace. As the saying goes, brothers united are stronger than iron. As long as we get along well, we will surely make the Qin Empire stronger!"

When Song Yuan finished speaking, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

He actually walked up to Song Qi and excitedly hugged him in his arms.

"Third brother, you and I must get along well from now on!"

After leaning over to the other person's ear and giving him some advice, Song Yuan even patted Song Qi on the back.

Song Yuan did these two things on purpose.

It looks light, but it is actually very powerful.

The third prince suddenly felt a sharp pain in the wound on his back, and the wound, which had already scabbed over, seemed to be torn apart in an instant.

"what are you doing?"

He subconsciously pushed Song Yuan away, with a hint of blame in his tone.

"Third brother...you..."

Song Yuan pretended to be stunned, as if he was surprised by Song Qi's tone.

I was already smiling in my heart.

Hahaha, you can’t help it, kid?

Come and hit me, if you dare to make a move, I will make you die a more miserable death!

"Brother... I, you moved too much just now and pulled my wound." The third prince Song Qi took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the anger in his heart.

He forced an embarrassed expression on his face and said to Song Yuan.

"Brother, you know that three days ago, my back was beaten to a bloody mess. You probably didn't notice it for a moment, so it's nothing serious."

Song Qi suppressed the impulse in his heart.

If I turn against them now, wouldn't all the acting I've done before be in vain?

Boy, you are still pretending!

Seeing that Song Qi was so determined this time, Song Yuan silently accepted this reality.

Song Yuan knew exactly what Song Qi was thinking.

However, in his opinion, Song Youji's attitude had nothing to do with him.

When I go to the frontier, the sky will be high enough for birds to fly and the sea will be wide enough for fish to jump.

With military power, what can't be done?

Since Song Qi was willing to reconcile, at least he would be temporarily worry-free before leaving the border.

"Third brother, it's all Big Brother's fault. Since you're alright for now, I'll go ahead. Don't worry, Big Brother has remembered everything you said. We'll definitely have a nice drink together at Big Brother's wedding!"

Song Yuan smiled, waved at Song Qi, then made up an excuse and left the scene.

"Wait!"

Looking at Song Yuan's receding back, Song Qi couldn't help but murmur.

After saying this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

"hiss……"

He immediately turned around and scolded the guard beside him.

"What are you still standing there for? Come and help me!"

"My wound is open, don't touch it... Hurry and take me back to apply medicine!"
