Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 168 Close your eyes
The grand banquet once again came to a successful conclusion. The dignitaries in the court were still immersed in its aftermath, marveling at the stunning and extraordinary sword dance.

As a result, there was no longer any objection to the choice of the first king's successor.

What Qinghua said at the banquet represented the will of heaven and officially announced that there would be no more changes in this battle for the throne.

The guests from outer space were a little tipsy, and under the guidance of maids and servants, they went to their respective residences.

"what a pity."

The Third Prince stood up and looked at the guests gradually leaving the hall. He glanced at Ning Ruyue and said, "If you had listened to Falang's advice and played a song in this hall, maybe it would have brought some changes."

The will of heaven, the support of the powerful in the court, and the title that is most in line with the young first king.

On the other hand, the eldest princess is the only one alone in this huge court.

After leaving the court for so many years, when he came back, even his former maids and servants had become distant to him.

The eldest princess left, but they still had to live in this court.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. I'll take you back to your room to rest."

Caidie stepped forward and said.

Although she missed the eldest princess, she didn't want her to return to the court, especially after she learned about those things from the third prince.

"congratulations."

When only himself and the second prince were left at the table, the third prince spoke. Seeing that the guests at the opposite table had almost all left, the third prince went to greet them, and Falang deliberately stayed where he was to wait for him.

A personable middle-aged man, it is hard to imagine his interest in collecting princesses from various planets.

Seeing the Third Prince coming forward, he praised, "Yes, this dinner was well organized. The Director is very satisfied."

"It's a pity that the princess is too stubborn and has failed your good intentions."

"It's okay. It's a good thing for young people to have their own judgment."

Unlike those who like to rob and plunder, Falang always behaves very generously. When the third prince met him for the first time, he was also deceived by his hypocritical appearance.

After dealing with enamel for a long time, he realized that this magnanimity was based on the control of the overall situation.

In the end, Enamel always gets what he wants.

Just like now, he believed that the eldest princess would put on that evening dress and come in front of him sooner or later, so he was not in a hurry.

"Chief Enamel, I recently got a bottle of good wine by chance. It's still early now. If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to my house for a visit."

The third prince made an invitation.

Falang glanced at the time and said, "Okay, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's go to your house to catch up. I have some things to arrange here, so I'll be there soon."

The third prince smiled and nodded.

This conversation has happened too many times.

The reason why he was able to gain a firm foothold in the court, gather people step by step, and develop the industry to its present level was because of the guidance and help of enamel.

It is reasonable for him to be grateful to the person in front of him.

And in this huge court, the only one who could attract Falang was the eldest princess.

It was already late at night when I walked out of the hall, and the dim moonlight shone on the ground.

The third prince opened his eyes and looked up at the night sky. Suddenly, he felt that the moonlight was a little dazzling.

Come to think of it, after living in the court for so many years, he has never looked up to admire the moon like he does now. It is quite regrettable that today is not a full moon, but a corner is missing.

When she returned to the hall, Caidie had already settled the princess and was waiting at the entrance of the hall.

"You want to see me if you have something to do?"

The third prince hid his tiredness, went to meet him, and put on his usual uninhibited look.

"Your Highness, can you escort the Princess out of the city?"

This time, Caidie did not avoid his gaze.

The victory of the second prince is a foregone conclusion. Now the only one who can send the eldest princess out of the court is the third prince.

The eldest princess left once and was gone for more than ten years. Maybe she will be lucky again this time.

"You should have seen it just now, right? The admiring look in Falang's eyes when he looked at the eldest princess. The colder the eldest princess was to him, the more he wanted to take her for himself."

"So we need to get her out of the court as soon as possible." "Oh? This will offend people, what benefit can I get from it?"

The third prince spoke in a frivolous tone, and looking at the disgust that Caidie tried hard to suppress, he seemed to understand the fun of enamel.

Caidie took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and gritted her teeth and said, "As long as Your Highness is willing to send the princess out of the city, I will do whatever Your Highness asks me to do."

"Is it really possible to do anything?"

The third prince looked up and down at Caidie's figure with a revealing look, admiring the way she forced herself to nod despite being extremely reluctant.

That’s the joy of power.

He suddenly understood why Enamel was keen on collecting princesses from various planets. What he liked was not the identity of a princess, but the process of conquest. Seeing the princesses who were high and mighty on the planets bowing and scraping to him and trying to please him like pets made him feel that his power had reached its peak.

"Not worth it."

The Third Prince suddenly said, "It is not worth it to offend the messenger of heaven for a mere maid. I did not plan to offer the eldest princess to Falang because I was thinking of our old friendship."

"伱——!"

"Don't you understand? The reason why the princess was able to leave the court and escape to Yunhai Academy after a narrow escape from death was arranged by heaven. And she entered the Qin Academy, learned superb Qin skills and returned to the court, which was also arranged by heaven. If you want to break the shackles of fate, relying on the pleading and tears of a maid is far from enough."

Before this dinner, he had already told Caidie about the future predicted by Yi Wuyang.

The first king died, the second prince succeeded to the throne, and the eldest princess returned to the flagship with enamel. This was God's arrangement.

Of course, what he told Caidie was only a small part of this future.

"So many years have passed, and you are still so reckless. When the princess left the court, you were unwilling to come to my house and even tried to assassinate me with the fish spring."

The colorful butterfly paused and stopped talking.

The crime of assassinating a royal prince would not only cost her her head, but all those suspected of being involved would also be held accountable.

But the third prince let her go, with the only condition being that he kept her by his side until now.

"And now, you are trying to go against the heavens. If this gets to the ears of Enamel, even I can't protect you."

The third prince raised his hand and stretched it in front of the colorful butterfly.

Caidie instinctively closed her eyes, her vision obscured.

"There are too many unfair things in this world. How can everything go as planned? I am the third prince in the court and I am still like this, let alone you."

The third prince's tone was very different from before. He was no longer frivolous, but warned solemnly, "All you can do is close your eyes and stop looking at those unfair things."

The Third Prince stared at the hand that was stretched out to the colorful butterfly. His index finger slightly extended forward, but was interrupted by a call from a distance, "Yingtian, you are still here."

Falang waved at him from afar, and the way he addressed him changed when they met in private. He climbed the stone steps of the hall as easily and comfortably as if he was visiting a friend.

"This is?"

"Oh, I was just about to ask Caidie to fetch the fine wine that I have treasured for a long time."

The third prince returned to his usual pace of speaking, but his words just now gave Caidie a bad feeling.

The Third Prince today seemed a little different from usual.

"I have stored the fine wine with Mr. Yi. Please go and get it for me. Just say that the Third Prince sent you."

This is a lie.

As the third prince's personal maid, Caidie saw through his lie at the first sight.

The Third Prince had never stored wine with Yi Wuyang, nor was it possible for him to store wine with him. He had to go to Yi Wuyang himself and take something that had never existed from him.

This was a lie that would soon be exposed, but the third prince still said it in front of Enamel.

A terrible thought came to her mind.

The Third Prince had no intention of entertaining Enamel with fine wine from the beginning!

"But, Your Highness."

"Go as quickly as you are told."

The Third Prince frowned and scolded, "Don't spoil our fun."
