Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 293 King Chen’s desire for control
At that time, Murong Guang was short and thin, and the baby fat on his face had not disappeared.

She just saw him as a poor kid who needed money and care.

Many words were said to him, but none of them could be remembered.

Murong Guang didn't seem to expect to hear the answer from her mouth. He paused and said to himself:
"At that time, I told you that my father was about to die of illness, and my relatives worked together to drive us out of the house. My two brothers were fighting against the relatives and had no time to take care of me. I was very lonely and scared. You told me, on the side of the sinking boat Thousands of sails are passing by, and thousands of trees are springing in front of the diseased tree. Don’t let the temporary difficulties in front of you hinder you from seeing the bright future that is coming or that you can work hard to achieve.”

Seeing a glimmer of light in Xiang Yingxue's eyes, he continued: "You can persuade me, why can't you persuade yourself?"

Xiang Yingxue raised her head and looked at him seriously.

"Xiaoguang, do you think, with your second brother's desire for control, do I still have a future?"

Murong Guang's heart sank, and the hand that stirred the medicine bowl stopped.

After a while, he regained his composure and continued to stir the soup.

"I only know now. Now that you have left the yard you hate and live in a relatively comfortable and familiar environment, my second brother will not appear for a while. You can freely say what you want and eat what you want. Thing, do what you want to do, I and the people in this yard are all at your disposal."

"Is your second brother... really not going to show up?"

Murong Guang said a lot, but it seemed that this was the only thing Princess Yingxue heard.

No matter how stupid he is, he can still sense her dislike for his brother.

I remembered that my servants said that the Princess of Chu was unwilling to obey and was raped by His Highness King Chen several times.

He looked pityingly at the girl in front of him who had been at the top of his heart.

Her body is so delicate, and the greenness in her brows and eyes has not yet faded.

But at an age when she should have been innocent and carefree, full of expectations for love, and going hand in hand with her sweetheart on a spring outing, she met her overbearing and domineering second brother...

He sighed deeply in his heart, took a spoonful of soup and put it to her mouth.

"Second brother is very busy recently, I promise he won't show up. Can you take medicine?"

Xiang Yingxue thought for a while, lowered her head, took a sip, and instantly curled her lips.

"Bitter!" Murong Guang hurriedly said to Xiaojue: "Bring over the candied fruit."

Then he turned around to comfort Princess Yingxue.

"Xue'er, the medicine is no longer hot. Just hold your breath and drink it in one gulp. I'll give you the candied fruit right away."

Xiang Yingxue nodded.

Follow Murong Guang's method, hold your breath, and drink up all the medicine in big gulps.

"Xue'er, good job. Come, have a piece of candied fruit."

"Princess, please eat slowly. The kitchen knows that you have been drinking decoctions these past few days, so it has prepared a lot of candied fruits and sweet-scented osmanthus sugar."

In the house, Murong Guang and Xiao Ju took care of Xiang Yingxue and comforted her.

Outside the house, Murong Chen, who was hiding in the dark, finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Princess Yingxue drank the medicine.

He pictured in his mind that the girl was feeling miserable and eager for the candied fruit, and the corners of her mouth curved upward.

But even though he was very close to the door leading to her, he didn't have the courage to walk over and push it open.

"Murong Chen is just a beast, a beast! I hate him and feel disgusted when I see him!"

"I only have one husband, Zhou Jing! He is a famous general of Chu State and a gentleman!"

"Xue'er doesn't seem to want to see you."

"Is it true that your second brother won't show up?"

"Second brother is very busy recently, I promise he won't show up. Can you take medicine?"

He smiled bitterly and left slowly and heavily.
