Chapter 25 Princess × Fake Prince (7)
The second prince fell, and the fourth prince rose.
Only the fifth prince Ye Jinan, who was born with the same mother as the fourth prince, foolishly maintained the status quo.
"Fourth brother, you know that your second brother is banned, why do you still take him to that kind of land of smoke and willows?"
He angrily ran to confront Ye Lingzong, and he didn't understand why only his second brother was arrested.
"Fifth brother, are you so willing to be subordinate to others?" Ye Lingzong said fiercely: "Second brother is not a general or prime minister at all. If I hadn't been helping him all these years, do you think that idiot of his can win over so many people? People’s hearts.”
"But we are brothers." Ye Jinan was very puzzled. Is the throne so important? It made them fight each other.
"Brother? We are brothers born from the same mother. Do you really think Ye Linghui regards you as a brother! He just wants to step on us and get the upper hand!"
When Ye Nanzhi passed by Shuiyue Pavilion, he heard someone sniffling. He thought it was some palace maid, but when he got closer, he saw it was Ye Jinan.
"Fifth brother."
Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Jinan immediately wiped away his tears with his clothes.
Seeing that the person coming was Ye Nanzhi, she glared at him dissatisfiedly and said, "I'm not crying."
Seeing Ye Nanzhi nodding perfunctorily, he asked, "Why don't you believe it?"
"Because Fifth Brother, your eyes and nose are red."
So it was a bit difficult for her to believe it.
Unexpectedly, Ye Jinan, who has always been strong, broke the rules and said, "I knew you came to see my joke."
"What kind of joke do you have?" Ye Nanzhi was puzzled, "Besides, we are brother and sister. If you, fifth brother, make a joke, it doesn't mean that I also made a joke."
"Are we siblings?" Ye Jinan suddenly stared at her.
"Otherwise? Although you usually dislike me, you can't deny this."
Yes, they are brother and sister, but how did they get to where they are today! The intrigues in this huge palace must be divided into camps among relatives.
……
"Huaizhi, are you leaving?"
On this day, Ye Nanzhi left the palace and went to Song Huaizhi's mansion, where he was told that he was leaving.
The Ling State's military strength was inferior to that of the Chu State. If a war broke out between the two countries, Song Huaizhi would be like a living target in the Ling State.
Moreover, various forces have recently sent many people to monitor him.
Although he knew that this day was not far away, when it actually arrived, Ye Nanzhi still felt a lot of reluctance in his heart.
Song Huaizhi nodded, "I promise to come back to pick you up. Just wait for me, okay?"
If he wanted to return to the Chu Kingdom, there would be countless difficulties and obstacles along the way. He couldn't let Zhizhi take risks with him.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." Ye Nanzhi showed the most sensible smile, "Brother Huai Zhi, no matter what you want to do, you will succeed."
On the way back to the palace, the master and servant were silent. Caiyun only knew that the seventh princess came out from His Highness. There must have been a quarrel! But quarreling was out of the question. The Seventh Princess gave in with just one look, so there was no way to start a quarrel!
Song Huaizhi escaped on the night when Ye Lingzong was canonized as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. At night, the guards at the city gate were the strictest and the water defenses were the most lax.
But no one expected that after Song Huaizhi was found missing early the next morning, Emperor Ling would also be assassinated and died. They all said that Song Huaizhi killed Emperor Ling and wanted to take revenge on Chu!
The fourth prince Ye Lingzong ascended the throne as the new emperor and ordered the arrest of Song Huaizhi. One month later, he launched an army to attack Chu.
"How dare you stop the princess."
The guards were divided into two rows and stood guard at the entrance of the palace. No one dared to give in to the orders given by the new emperor.
"Forget it, Caiyun, don't embarrass them." How dare they not listen to what was said above.
Caiyun was so angry that even throwing the plate didn't work, and they were put under house arrest.
Ye Nanzhi was bored embroidering in the palace that day, but Ye Lingzong suddenly visited.
He entered the palace and retreated everyone, including Caiyun beside Ye Nanzhi.
"Not happy?" he asked with a smile.
It feels like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken!
"Aren't I afraid that you will run away? My good sister." He came closer and picked up Ye Nanzhi's long hair hanging on her chest, and sniffed it gently.
Ye Nanzhi ducked back when she saw his movements, and she stared at him warily.
Ye Lingzong laughed, with a look of obsession on his face, "It smells so good."
"Fourth brother, you..."
"Shh, don't make any noise, let Fourth Brother take a good look at you."
Ye Lingzong wanted to hug her, but Ye Nanzhi immediately stood up and dodged.
"Why don't you let me hold you? When you were little, you liked your fourth brother to hold you the most. Have you forgotten?"
When Ye Nanzhi was five years old, she was indeed the most favored princess in the palace. She was so pretty that all the princes rushed to hold her, but later Song Huaizhi stopped her. From then on, only Song Huaizhi could hold her.
Smelling the smell of alcohol on Ye Lingzong's body, Ye Nanzhi calmed down and said, "Fourth brother, you are drunk."
"I'm not drunk." Ye Lingzong murmured, how could he be drunk? He got everything he wanted, except for Ye Nanzhi.
"Nanzhi, I like you, do you know?"
He shook his head to himself, "How could you know? You only have Song Huaizhi in your eyes."
Ye Lingzong's mother-in-law was the most humble singer, but because she sang a few warm tunes to please Emperor Ling, she was brought back to the palace and gave birth to him and Ye Jin'an. However, without a strong family background to support them, they were You can only walk on thin ice in this palace.
The year Ye Nanzhi was born, Ye Lingzong was five years old. It was also the year when the Queen was the most favored. The baby girl in the swaddling clothes was carefully carved and pierced his heart at once. There was no trace of jealousy, and even I am secretly happy for her growing up.
But little by little, Little Pink Tuanzi ignored them and only had Song Huai in his eyes. Only by talking to her in a cold voice could he get a look of pity from her.
Ye Linghui wanted to bring her and Wu Yixuan together. He pretended to cooperate, but in fact he deceived her into going to Ice Lake. He just wanted to teach Wu Yixuan a lesson and never thought that he would die.
But none of that matters now. Now he has become the emperor, and Song Huaizhi is like a drowned dog, with everyone shouting to beat him.
"You're crazy, we're brother and sister."
Ye Nanzhi tried to correct him, "We..."
"I have feelings for you as a man and a woman." Ye Lingzong said: "Zhizhi, don't look at me like that, Song Huai's him."
"I regard him as my brother." Ye Nanzhi interrupted him, feeling confused.
"I thought you liked him! Your eyes always lit up when you looked at him."
Ye Nanzhi shook his head, remembering the kiss, and quickly retorted, "I have always only had a brother-sister relationship with Song Huaizhi."
"Isn't that better?" Ye Lingzong laughed crazily, "He is about to die, and I will soon marry you as my queen."
Ye Lingzong approached her, but Ye Nanzhi couldn't dodge and fell into his arms, "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you now. I will save everything until the wedding night."
What a lunatic.
