Inferior dominance

Chapter 103 The third brother is also planning to leave

The room is stuffy, maybe it's because they are breathing very close to each other, or maybe it's because the windows are closed all the time, and the air is so heavy.

Ji Xiao's deep eyes stared at me non-stop. After the passion, he always showed a kind of tenderness beyond the usual state, which made me feel fresh and uncomfortable.

In the end, I still told him everything about Dong Siyuan.

He said: "I heard that this happened. I thought it was the prince's method to get rid of the fourth child... I didn't expect it to be like this? It's really a trick of good fortune. It seems that after all... I still killed him."

Rarely, I saw a sad look on Ji Xiao's face.

"No." Raising my hand, I sorted out the fabric on his chest in a vague way, pursed my lips, and wanted to comfort him clumsily: "Whether it's here or outside the dream, you have never treated him badly... ...it's fate, um...it's fate."

"It won't be long." Ji Xiao's voice was deep, "I will solve everything before that guy ascends the throne."

"...Well." At this point, I can only make myself compromise calmly. Although I am extremely unwilling to admit it, the balance in my heart, big brother and Ji Xiao, I still lean towards Ji Xiao's side after all, It is true that I am reluctant and guilty about the eldest brother, but I know that after he ascends the throne, he will definitely attack Ji Xiao who is hiding in the dark.

I cannot accept such a future.

What the third brother wanted me to say to Ji Xiao earlier, I also took advantage of this time to tell Ji Xiao in detail.

Ji Xiao was silent for a moment, and said, "That's just right."

I didn't ask him how he gained the third brother's trust, and I didn't know how to discuss the third brother's current "rebellion" idea with him. It was almost dawn, and I was afraid that he would be discovered.

"I know you're curious," Ji Xiao's hand lightly stroked my ear temples, "This matter is actually simple, but on the night the emperor and the prince were alone, I just joked with him and said, 'Your father has something It’s up to you’, the time for him to go is too good, maybe he heard something outside the gate and knew the truth—the truth about your elder brother’s regicide.”

"If he was a smart person, he would hide it quietly, but he was completely stupid, and he happened to bump into Yu Qingshu who had done something wrong. He didn't know how to hide his emotions. Just because he was too scared, in front of Yu Qingshu, he turned around and ran away with a guilty conscience, if he hadn’t met me, he would definitely be arrested by his elder brother on the spot, and now you can’t see him.”

"The third child is an honest and good boy. He was crying, and the first thing he said when he saw me was: 'Father is dead, it is... the eldest brother...' But at that time, the close minister who was arranged outside the bedroom early in the morning It has been announced that the crown prince will inherit the throne."

"Then I knew I had to go."

Is that so?

It's no wonder that the third child seems so restless every time he faces the prince. I thought he was mentally weak simply because of his father's death, but I didn't expect the prince to have a reason to do something to him.

Soon a plan was drawn up to send the third prince out of the palace. Looking at Ji Xiao's expression, I knew that he might have everything ready and only the last fire was missing.

"I really want to take you away too." Ji Xiao stared at me, his expression was undoubtedly heavy: "But for you, being in the palace is the safest."

"It's not easy to convince those old and cunning guys to bring down the prince with me. First of all, it is a big obstacle to convince them that the prince has not been granted imperial power. Do you know why?" Ji Xiao raised the corners of his lips slightly, There was a little helplessness in his expression.

I ask him why.

"Because of you." He tapped my forehead with his finger, "Do you still remember why the emperor married you to the crown prince?"

My thoughts are slightly stagnant, because I don't believe in the feudal superstition of the ancients, so I have never paid much attention to "auspiciousness".

But other people who were born in the ancient background in the book don't think so.

"They felt that since the emperor betrothed you, an auspicious person who symbolizes 'auspiciousness', to him, it meant that his position was unshakable. Fortunately, I used my strength to shut them up." Having said that, As if remembering something unpleasant, Ji Xiao raised one corner of his lips, and smiled cruelly, "You have to believe that no matter what happens later, I won't let you have an accident, you know?"

I just stared at him wordlessly, and when he repeatedly asked me to answer, I finally nodded to show that I understood.

I didn't tell him, why don't I want to try my best to prevent you from having an accident?

Ji Xiao left before dawn, I forgot to mention, looking at his back through the window, I licked the corners of my lips a little funny.

The bed gradually became cold, and I slowly closed my eyes, dreaming in my heart that there would be a world where everyone could live in harmony, although I knew that such an idea was absurd and ridiculous.

Early the next morning, before I could recover, the little maid who I ordered to take care of the love owl parrot earlier knelt down in front of me in fear as soon as she entered the door.

She told me that the owl parrot died.

She said, maybe it was because she swallowed the key, or maybe she was sick, anyway, suddenly, it just died like that.

I don't know how I felt when I heard the news. I just felt numb in my limbs. It stands to reason that it was just a parrot with unknown origin and some inexplicable reasons. Why did I feel a deep pain in my heart? My heart is full of inexplicable emotions that seem to have never appeared in my body before.

Of course, I didn't show this emotion at all on the bright side, I just waved my hand and arranged a new job for the little maid, I know that now is not the time to indulge in emotions.

However, before leaving the East Palace, I still took a look at the corpse of the love owl parrot.

In fact, in my opinion, it is not dead.

It just closed its eyes, and even maintained its posture standing in the cage, as if it had fallen asleep.

I blamed the little maid secretly in my heart, and I argued in my heart, it was clearly just asleep, why did it have to be said to be dead?

But there is a consciousness deep in my heart that tells me so plainly that it is dead.

I took the birdcage to my bedroom and put it in the place closest to my bed.

In the meantime, I tried to wake it up, but sure enough, as if it was dead, it didn't move at all, and it seemed to be a living specimen.

I close my eyes almost in pain, I know that now is not the time to indulge in emotions, I have to implement the plan Ji Xiao arranged for me, I stand up, arrange for someone to take me to the third prince's side, I want to tell him the latest news plan.

The third child was about to go to see the fourth child, and at noon, I saw him come back to the bedroom with red eyes. I didn't expect his first sentence after the screen retreated: "Yu Qingshu is really not a person."

Startled, I hurried forward to cover his mouth, thinking that my elder brother treats my third brother so well on weekdays, my third brother and I...even plan to join forces to deal with him.

"Fourth brother has been tortured so badly..." Sniffing, the third brother was obviously in a trance, and he didn't even pay attention to controlling his own volume, "I want to get out of here!" He suddenly grabbed my arm, "Brother Deng, is there anything you can do... I, I'm leaving here now!"

I calmed down and told him to calm down, but he was completely disobedient, and even walked around the room nervously, "You know what? Now he sends people everywhere to block the people outside the palace gates." Mouth! Haha, has his plan come to nothing now? Punishing the fourth brother will only bring him a display of disregard for human ethics, inhumanity and even family affection!"

It seems that at least the outside of the hall is not as peaceful as the one in the palace. This may be the result of Ji Xiao's actions... I grabbed Yu Jingcheng and led him to the back room. He punched him in the face, "Do you think there is no one else here?"

As far as status is concerned, doing this is presumptuous, and the third prince didn't seem to expect that I would do this. After blinking, he finally burst into tears: "Brother Deng, you hit me...you never did this before. Hit me—you hit me..."

It's so strange, feeling the strength of the third brother crying on my shoulder, for the first time, I feel that maybe subconsciously, his consciousness outside the dream has been inherited, for example, he treats me like a brother even though his status is not suitable That way, for example, he seems to have followed some of his views on his elder brother outside the dream, no longer blindly believes in him, and even... hates him.

Of course, the first task I came to him this time was to discuss with him how to send him out of the palace.

In fact, the entry and exit of the prince was not as strict as it is now, especially for the third prince who has always been loved by the emperor, many times his entry and exit are free.

Since the death of the emperor, all affairs of the harem have been handed over to the prince, and the third prince is still a special person with "secrets", so he will naturally be strictly guarded.

Ji Xiao didn't stay in the palace for a long time, but he really got a clear picture of his connections. Recently, an old eunuch next to the late emperor was going to resign and return to his hometown. In fact, he said he was retiring and returning to his hometown. Knowing too much about the former emperor, I am afraid that he knows something that he should not know, so the new emperor who is about to take over has made such an arrangement.

The old eunuch was indeed old, so old that he needed someone to help him out of the palace gate, the little eunuch who helped the old eunuch still matched the characteristics of the third brother.

So Ji Xiao made the arrangement in this way, and it happened that the prince would not come to see the third child recently because of the fourth prince's affairs, so it would be no problem to make some personnel transfers on this basis.

After explaining my actions clearly, I returned to the palace and found that the candles in the bedroom were still on. It seemed that the crown prince had arrived. Thinking of all the things I had done before, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so I walked into the room in silence, As expected, I saw the eldest brother who had already changed into plain clothes. I walked up to him and smiled at him, but I couldn't stop feeling sad in my heart.

He didn't seem to notice anything, just asked me: "Where did you go?"

I said, "I went to the third brother's place for a while. He lost his temper and locked himself in the house. I didn't go in, but he came back soon."

The eldest brother sighed, "Third brother is like that on weekdays, he is not really angry, don't mind."

If the eldest brother knew that my third brother and I were united to deal with him like this, how disappointed he would be.

Sitting opposite the prince without changing his face, I wanted to chat with him about the recent public opinion outside the palace, but he said to me: "If I said that I had some dreams about you again, would you think Is it strange?"

Lie Ye

I wrote the ending today, thinking about finishing it in one breath, the last few chapters are still optimistic.
