Chapter 358 Brotherhood
Dongfang Xu's tone made Xiyue hesitate, she couldn't tell whether the other party was annoyed or otherwise.The second prince and the prince grew up together, how deep is the brotherhood?If it was the past, Xiyue might feel that the prince would be soft-hearted and unable to do this, but now...should she continue talking?

"Second Emperor must have Concubine Mei's eyeliner by his side, don't say such stupid things in the future." Dongfang Xu glanced at her coldly, Xiyue was taken aback, is this the prince's reason?Just because the second prince will have someone sent by Concubine Mei to protect him, so he can't be touched?

Is it just because of this?

Xiyue looked deeply at the man in front of her, Dongfang Xu noticed her gaze, and frowned displeasedly, "Why?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Xiyue has an idea to distract the people around the second prince, but I don't know if His Highness can trust Xiyue." A deep smile appeared on Xiyue's face, and Dongfang Xu's eyes did not move at all. , just looked at her so quietly, and finally turned around and said nothing.

Is this the acquiescence of His Highness?Xiyue lowered her head, and the corner of her mouth slightly curled up, "Xiyue will take my leave first."

The door opened with a creak, Xiyue raised her eyes and saw Du Yuanxiu with a dignified face, she was surprised, "Why are you here?"

Dongfang Xu turned around, Du Yuanxiu had pushed aside Xiyue and stepped in, "Your Highness, you must not do anything to His Second Highness!"

"What are you talking about? Hmph, didn't the crown prince and side concubine see the appearance of the empress? How can she still speak up for the enemy now?!" Xiyue's tone was full of reprimands, but Du Yuanxiu didn't back down at all. cowardly.

"Why do you want to instigate His Highness? Do you want His Highness to be an unrighteous person who kills his brother?!"

"It's a joke, has the Crown Prince and Concubine ever heard that being kind to the enemy is cruelty to oneself? Or does the Crown Prince and Concubine want to wait until the Second Prince has done something to His Highness, and regret it later?"

Du Yuanxiu's eyes flickered a little, she glanced at Dongfang Xu, and saw that the other party's expression was indifferent, without the slightest emotion, she still refused to believe that His Highness would agree to such a thing.

"Your Highness, this concubine knows that what happened to the Queen Empress has brought His Highness a great blow, but this concubine believes that the Queen Empress definitely does not want His Highness to do this! I also believe it myself, maybe the Second Highness has some difficulties..."

"Difficulties? Which side is the side concubine on? When did the relationship with the second highness get so good? Does the side concubine want to say that the queen will end up like this, and the second highness doesn't know at all? What else can I say? Unrighteous person, the Second Highness wants to fight for the crown prince now, he doesn't care about brotherhood, why does His Highness care about so many useless things?!" Xiyue felt that Du Yuanxiu in front of her was really stupid, this In the world, only the ruthless can stand at the top. Brotherhood, it's all used to deceive three-year-old children.

What's more, in the current situation of His Royal Highness, the Second Prince may pull him down at any time, and she does not believe that Concubine Mei will easily spare His Highness.

"Enough, you go out!"

Dongfang Xu suddenly gave a cold drink, and shot his cold eyes at Xiyue, he didn't want to hear those words.

Words that upset him.

Xiyue restrained her expression, gave Du Yuanxiu a contemptuous look, then bowed to Dongfang Xu and retreated.

"Your Highness...the concubine just doesn't want to see His Highness's regretful expression..." Du Yuanxiu's voice was pleading, and her heart trembled slightly. It's not like she didn't feel Dongfang Xu's changes during these days. I also understand that after experiencing so many things, it will inevitably affect the prince.

It's just that she feels that at this moment, someone is more needed to support His Highness and give His Highness correct advice.She believes that Dongfang Xu is definitely not the kind of person who ignores brotherhood.

"You mean, the hall will regret it?" Dongfang Xu's eyes were dangerous, regretting?There are too many things he regrets...

Du Yuanxiu was startled. Looking at the man in front of her, she felt so strange.

No, I must not back down at this time.

"Yes! Your Highness will definitely regret it!"

Dongfang Xu's heart was touched by the persistent gaze of the woman in front of him, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.

In my mind, I kept thinking about what the queen mother said at that time. She told herself to be wary of the second emperor brother. At that time, she obviously didn't believe it, but now... Now he has no reason to convince himself.Concubine Mei is the second emperor's biological mother. When she plans to attack the queen mother, will the second emperor not know?The queen mother has always regarded him as her own, but how did he choose?
Dongfang Xu's heart was aching. The struggles these days made him doubt Dongfang Rui even more.The other party never took the initiative to find him, even if it was a half-sentence explanation, Dongfang Xu felt that he would believe him.

Did he change himself, or did the second brother change?
Seeing the hesitation in Dongfang Xu's eyes, Du Yuanxiu raised a glimmer of hope again, "Your Highness, maybe the second prince has been used? Concubine Mei... The concubine thinks that all of this is probably done by Concubine Mei. She wants to use the second prince to attack His Highness, she wants His Highness to become a ruthless person..."

Du Yuanxiu's mood gradually became clear. No matter what kind of ambitions the second prince had, Du Yuanxiu was unwilling to see Dongfang Xu embark on that road of no return.

She believes that things will always turn around, but once people's hearts change, it can never be undone.

"Why do you believe so much, a person who will do something to his own wife?"

After a long time, Dongfang Xu floated a word calmly.Du Yuanxiu raised her eyes in surprise, she immediately understood the meaning of Dongfang Xu's words, he was referring to Wu Huiyun, the second imperial concubine...

This is also one of the reasons why Dongfang Xu was shaken. He couldn't understand whether a person who would fight with his wife would care about brotherly love, mother-child love.

"...The concubine does not believe in the second prince, but in His Highness."

Du Yuanxiu's voice was full of hope, Dongfang Xu's eyes flickered, and finally he turned around slowly and stopped looking at her, "Back off."

"Your Highness..."

However, the man no longer responded to her, Du Yuanxiu lowered his eyes in disappointment, "I am resigning."

Only Dongfang Xu was left in the study. He closed his eyes irritably, but Du Yuanxiu's words kept echoing in his ears... He knew that this was a choice, a choice related to his life.

He didn't know whether he should trust Dongfang Rui, because too many things made him suspicious.When did it start, I had such a change.After the mother was disabled?Or when the father went west?Or after the members of Nalan's family were poisoned to death one by one?
Concubine Mei is such a vicious person, what kind of influence will she have on the Second Emperor?I'm afraid, he will choose to trust his mother and concubine, right?

Dongfang Xu couldn't help remembering what the Second Emperor said when he was looking for him in private. Thinking about it now, he was already testing himself at that time.If it wasn't for doubts about the queen mother and himself, why didn't the second emperor speak clearly, instead of testing?

Dongfang Xu knew that the current self could not make any wrong decisions, and he could no longer bear the people around him being taken away!
……

"Mistress? Mistress?"

In the second emperor's womb, Wu Huiyun was standing in front of the window, holding a pair of scissors and trimming the potted plants, while the maid at the side saw that she hadn't moved for a long time, so she couldn't help calling out.

"Who's here?"

She was startled immediately, and turned her head to look towards the door. During this period, Wu Huiyun became more sensitive. She was not held accountable for helping the princess before, and Wu Huiyun always felt that Dongfang Rui would come to her at some point. Trouble.

However, the calmer the situation, the more torture it would be for Wu Huiyun.

"No, it's because the maidservant saw that the empress was distracted..." The maid felt a little guilty. During these days, Wu Huiyun's temper had changed a lot. She no longer vented all her pain on the maids like before. It became more and more quiet, often sitting alone in a certain place, lost in thought.

The maid felt a little sympathetic, how could outsiders know that the beautiful second concubine lived such a life.

Everyone said that His Highness the Second Highness might take the position of the crown prince, and the imperial concubine would be the crown prince by then, but in the eyes of these court ladies, it might not be the case.

Wu Huiyun withdrew her eyes in a low voice, looked at the potted plants in her hand, and then looked at the gloomy garden, "Look, it's spring, but those flowers don't bloom."

"Your Majesty, maybe it's because of the cold spring."

"Maybe it's because of people's hearts?" She replied quietly.Such a pessimistic mood made the maid feel very depressed.

"Your Highness!" At this moment, the court lady exclaimed, the scissors in Wu Huiyun's hand cut off a whole branch, and her face turned pale immediately.

Dongfang Rui noticed the other person's expression, his face was completely cold.

"Your Majesty..." The maid on the side reminded in a low voice, Wu Huiyun immediately reacted, took a step back and lowered her head, not daring to look into Dongfang Rui's eyes.

Before she could salute, the other party sneered, "Why, you don't want to see my prince come back?"

"..." Wu Huiyun realized that she couldn't say a word. The man stood in front of her again, which seemed to have aroused her nightmares for countless nights. Although, Dongfang Rui rarely touched him these days, or Said he was tired of himself.

However, the man in front of her didn't respond anymore, Wu Huiyun raised her head in a strange way, and met Dongfang Rui's eyes, which made her a little distracted.

Is it her illusion?She actually saw endless loss and loneliness in Dongfang Rui's eyes.

Dongfang Rui withdrew his gaze from Wu Huiyun's pale face, and slowly looked at this luxurious, but extremely gray palace in his eyes. He didn't even understand why he wanted to return to this place.

Turning around slowly, she silently disappeared from Wu Huiyun's sight, leaving only the two surprised women in the palace.

Dongfang Rui moved step by step on this long corridor, thinking back to Mei Fei's words, everything is almost over.

it's over?But I didn't have the slightest joy.The palace seemed to have lost something. He looked at the slightly monotonous tree. It was already spring, and its leaves were still so lifeless.

"Yeah, why should I come back..."
