Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

The next day, at the Eastern Palace.

The crown prince had just gotten up early in the morning when he saw the two figures, feigning an attack on the east and striking the west, appear before him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

After the prince finished washing up, he asked, "Do you two have something to say? Why are you being so hesitant?"

Sheng Dong lowered his brow and looked at Ji west.

Ji west looked troubled and said, "Your Highness, the Third Prince has been waiting in the front hall for almost an hour, crying the whole time, saying he wants to see you."

"An hour has passed? When did he arrive?"

"They arrived before dawn," Jixi said.

The Crown Prince's expression hardened. "Tell him that I am ill and will not be receiving guests today."

The Third Prince was clearly up to no good when he came to see him.

"Your elder brother, the Crown Prince, actually feigned illness to avoid seeing his younger brother!"

A faint voice sounded outside the door. When the Crown Prince and the other two turned around, they saw the Third Prince standing outside the door like a ghost.

His eyes were red and swollen, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept well.

"I am truly ill, I am not faking it!" The Crown Prince looked weak and collapsed onto the bed.

The third prince gave a cold smile.

The Crown Prince then said, "However, since my third brother has come, I will endure my discomfort and listen to what he has to say."

The prince stubbornly propped himself up from the bed.

The feint and the attack were perfectly coordinated. The two men, one on each side, helped the Crown Prince to sit up steadily. "Your Highness, please be careful."

The third prince was trembling all over.

His eyes blazed with fury, and he said with a face full of resentment, "Does Your Highness know that Yuan Bujin has placed a woman in my residence? Originally, that woman was meant to be placed in Your Highness's residence."

The Crown Prince looked bewildered: "Huh? Is that so? How come I didn't know? Congratulations to my third brother on the acquisition of his beauty!"

The crown prince finished speaking with a genuine smile.

snort!

The Third Prince sneered, gritting his teeth: "Crown Prince, Father Emperor came up with the idea of ​​sending someone to my residence so that your household would be quieter and so that Yuan Bujin wouldn't be neglected."

"Ah? Is that so? Is that really true? No way, Fu'er and I are about to get married, Yuan Bujin shouldn't be sending people to my residence. Third Brother, have you misunderstood?"

The prince was very surprised and coughed weakly a few times.

The Third Prince was even angrier. "Your Highness, pretending to be confused won't work. My reputation is ruined. I've come today to ask if Your Highness has any compensation for me?"

So they came to ask for compensation.

The Crown Prince slowly narrowed his eyes and looked at the Third Prince.

The third prince stared at him with bloodshot eyes.

Today I'm determined to get the treasure from him as compensation.

Suddenly, the prince narrowed his eyes and smiled, and in an instant, his "illness" was cured.

He stood up directly from the bed and walked towards the Third Prince.

The Third Prince felt a chill run down his spine, and the hairs on his body seemed to stand on end.

"Crown Prince, what... what are you doing?" The Third Prince retreated repeatedly.

"Didn't you want compensation?" the crown prince said with a smile.

The third prince was wary. "Did my elder brother, the Crown Prince, agree?"

Why does he think it doesn't look like it?

"Since my third brother has spoken, how could I refuse? Come with me."

"Where to?" The third prince's vigilance only increased. "If Your Highness the Crown Prince wishes to compensate me, you can simply go to the treasury now and take it. Why go out?"

The Crown Prince glanced at him and said, "Third Brother, you may not know this, but the compensation I'm giving you can only be obtained outside."

The third prince was pulled out of the East Palace by the crown prince, and finally, they arrived at the Xilin Post Station.

"Isn't this the post station of the Western Lin Envoy? Why did you bring me here, Your Majesty?" The Third Prince was increasingly puzzled.

"You'll find out soon enough," the prince said, giving him a mysterious look.

A bad feeling inexplicably arose in the heart of the third prince.

When the Crown Prince of Beixuan arrived, the Western Lin envoys at the post station came out to greet him.

Leading the group were Princess Chiyue and General Xilin, followed by the other Xilin envoys.

The Crown Prince said, "I have come here specifically to see Princess Chiyue. I hope you envoys will do me the favor."

General Xilin quickly replied, "Of course, of course, Your Highness, please."

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, His Highness the Crown Prince of Beixuan will be Princess Chiyue's marriage partner.

He had no reason to stop it.

Chi Yue smiled alluringly, "It is Chi Yue's honor that His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Third Prince have come to see Chi Yue. Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu, serve tea to His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Third Prince."

"Yes, Princess." Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu immediately went to do so.

Chi Yue then looked at the others and said, "General, you and the other officials may step down now."

General Xilin hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

The other ministers of Xilin had no objections either. It was indeed inappropriate for the Crown Prince of Beixuan to be present when he wanted to communicate with the princess.

However, the Crown Prince of Beixuan was very thoughtful; he brought the Third Prince of Beixuan with him, presumably to show his respect for the princess.

The Crown Prince of Beixuan acted with prudence and showed no frivolity.

As the group of Xilin envoys were about to leave, one person stood still in place.

Everyone couldn't help but look at that person.

The man was dressed in a black Xilin official robe. Unlike others, he had a fair complexion, no beard, and a thin figure. Although he was middle-aged, he had a rather delicate and feminine appearance.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he smiled slightly and said in a soft voice, "Your Highness, I don't need to leave, do I?"

"This servant was sent by His Majesty to protect Her Highness the Princess. His Majesty instructed me to serve her personally."

He emphasized the word "close to the body".

Princess Chiyue said softly, "What Eunuch Tu said is all from my grandfather's heart, and I, Chiyue, will naturally comply. However, I wonder about His Highness the Crown Prince of Beixuan..."

As Chi Yue spoke, her brows furrowed slightly, and she hesitated before glancing in the direction of the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince frowned: "west Lin wants to arrange a marriage between the princess and my Bei Xuan. Does this mean that even after the wedding, this eunuch will be watching from the sidelines?"

He showed a hint of displeasure, and his whole demeanor immediately exuded a cold and distant air, no longer gentle and polite.

The ministers of Xilin immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

Is the Crown Prince of Beixuan no longer angry?

Chi Yue's expression changed, and she said in a panic, "Your Highness, please don't be angry. Eunuch Tu would never do such a thing."

The Crown Prince sneered and retorted, "Never would that be? Then what is it now? I, Bei Xuan, want to say a few words to Her Highness the Princess, and I need to be watched?"

Eunuch Tu's face had already turned pale. He hadn't expected the Crown Prince of Beixuan to be so petty, clearly not wanting him to stay.

His slender eyebrows drooped, his eyes were gloomy, but his face became increasingly obsequious as he said, "This servant is lowly, Your Highness the Crown Prince of Beixuan, please ignore this servant."

He remained rooted to the spot, showing absolutely no intention of leaving.

The Crown Prince suddenly stood up. "Enough. I thought west Lin's proposal of marriage was sincere, but now it seems... west Lin has no such intention. So be it."

I will now return to report to my father and inform him of Xilin's true intentions.

As he spoke, he turned to leave.

The third prince followed behind the crown prince, looking completely bewildered.

Upon seeing this, not only were the Xilin envoys shocked, but Eunuch Tu also knelt down with a thud.

"Crown Prince of Beixuan, Xilin absolutely did not have such intentions."
