Chapter 3

Before Zhao Jin could finish his words, Zhao Sansi knelt down as soon as her legs were weak. Since she became sensible, she was told by her mother every day. Her identity is different from everyone in the deep palace. She must be careful in words and actions, and to live her life safely without desires or demands.

Not to mention the position above ten thousand people, even as a prince should have, she dared not compete for it.

"Emperor...I...I...I have never had such thoughts." Kneeling heavily on the ground, knocking on the cold ground, she made a "shut" sound. However, compared to the sharp sting, she was more afraid of how the man in front of her would look at her. "I...I also know myself, it is a rotten wood that cannot be carved. What I think about every day is how to have a good meal..."

"If I want to give you this position, do you really want it?" Suspicion is a common problem for every emperor, and Zhao Jin is no exception. Zhao Sansi's reaction was too extreme. If it was intentional, the skill of disguise would be too good. However, if this younger brother was really so thoughtful... no, it is impossible. A prince who has been bullied so much in the palace would definitely not miss any chance of turning over.

"Brother, don't scare me..." Zhao Sansi was scared from the cold sweat, but Zhao Jin didn't let go, so she didn't dare to wipe it. She still knelt on the ground in fear and fear, "Brother, I'm really not that material. Brother... If you insist on this, you'll... just treat the country that our ancestors have worked so hard to build... as a joke..."

"presumptuous."

"I... I don't dare." Zhao Jin's tone became louder, and Zhao Sansi shook his body so scared that he was crying. He could eat whatever he wanted. Is it because it was the last meal? Can her prince not even tolerate her fake brother who doesn't even have the ability to protect himself?

The atmosphere in the room was very cold and very strange. The palace maid who knelt down because the emperor was angry was even more arrogant and did not dare to let out. Zhao Jin covered his heart and vomited a breath of turbid air. After a moment, he narrowed his eyes and looked at his younger brother who was kneeling in front of him. No one could guess what he was thinking at the moment.

Only Concubine Xi continued to pick her nails like a ok, until she picked her ten fingers. Then she got up lazyly, walked to Zhao Sansi, and reached out to pull him up, "Okay, okay, you can rest, my husband, look at how scared everyone is by you?"

Zhao Sansi didn't dare to let Concubine Xi come to pull herself in a dignified manner. Without waiting for anyone to approach, he quickly climbed to the side, "My brother is just... a terrible person. I have let the emperor down. I deserve to be punished."

Gu Xizhao reached out and silted her lips. Tsk, this little prince is really ungrateful, but she has always been a self-righteous person and does not feel embarrassed. She naturally withdrew her hand, "A child, be gentler, elder brother is like a father. Look at the elder brother, the emperor, he really doesn't do it very successfully."

Zhao Jin glared at her, but his tone really eased, "Okay, get up. I haven't done anything to you yet. Look at you, you are sweating and tears. As a prince, you are not embarrassed."

"A child, I can't help but be scared." Gu Xizhao turned her head and glanced at Zhao Sansi, who was really scared of tears and cold sweat. She thought to herself that this little prince was really interesting. She said she was smart and looked stupid. She wanted to say that she was stupid, but she was smart and could bear it. However, she wanted to see her furious look, "Yun Shang, are you so scared that you wet your pants when you go and see the second prince?"

"Concubine Xi, please be careful." The meaning of this joking was too obvious, and Zhao Jin was also angry, "It's all my fault that I'm too indulging you on weekdays, and you're becoming more and more unrestrained. Don't leave your Changle Palace these days."

Gu Xizhao curled her lips and bowed lazily, "I will obey the emperor's orders. However, the emperor cannot go back on his word. Don't wait for the harem to make a mess again. You want me to clean up the mess again. I must reflect on it for a few days."

Zhao Jin was a little embarrassed. The queen was a sick man and a soft-hearted person. The four concubines and families in the harem were all unwilling to give in and did a lot of life on weekdays. It was thanks to Concubine Xi, who had always been unreasonable.

"Emperor, Concubine Xi may think that my brother looks familiar with the little eunuch she knew before, so she is more close. It's just a joke and it's not a problem." Although Zhao Sansi was angry that Concubine Xi teased herself in public, she was indeed a clever person. She has often heard the gossip of the traitors of the palace servants saying that the current queen is famous but not the queen, but Concubine Xi has the real empress but not the name of the queen. It can be seen that in the harem, the emperor's brother still has to rely on others, and she said this to give her own royal brother a step. Besides, since Concubine Xi is her benefactor, she can sell it well, and it will benefit others and oneself.

"Since the emperor has spoken for you, let's forget about this matter today. If I am so unrestrained in the future, I will definitely be severely punished."

"I thank the emperor for forgiveness." Gu Xizhao took Liuye's eyes to look at Zhao Sansi again, "I thank you for the second prince for pleading."

Zhao Sansi wiped the tears from his eyelashes and shook his head, "Concubine Xi is polite."

Even if this matter was revealed, Zhao Jin glanced at the two palace maids who were still kneeling on the ground, "If any of you spread the matter today, you will know the consequences. Get up and take the second prince down to clean up."

"Sister to obey the order." The two palace maids who were kneeling on the ground stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhao Sansi, "Second Prince, please come with me."

Zhao Sansi looked at the two palace maids, then went to see Zhao Jin, making the final struggle, "Brother, I...my brother turned around..."

"What are you doing? Take the second prince down." Zhao Jin was now looking at this little brother who was as timid as a mouse, and his chest was panicked. If it weren't for him... could this good thing that would have fallen on her?

Zhao Sansi sensitively realized that his elder brother was unhappy with him, so he had to suppress his words and followed the two palace maids slowly out.

As soon as she left, Zhao Jin covered her chest and coughed again. Gu Xizhao poured her a glass of water, with a rare look of seriousness. "I think you don't need to test it anymore. This second prince is really not interested in your throne."

"But the throne is really her." Zhao Jin glanced at her, "The father and the prince are not strong. If it weren't for the recording of the late emperor's daily life to me a few days ago, I wouldn't have remembered that there was such a younger brother. Now the political situation is stable and the peaceful era is. As long as a legitimate person sits in this position, the people of the four major families will not be infighting and can help her with peace of mind... As for the future, I will not care about so much."

Gu Xizhao turned her head and looked at him, "Your disease is really beyond cure?"

"What do you mean?"

"It is said that disaster has been passed down for thousands of years. I don't believe that a person like the emperor will die so early?"

"Azhao, you still hate me for holding you in this deep palace."

"You made an agreement with me that when the river is clear and the sea is calm, I will let me free. Now if you die, just issue an order to let me bury you. Then everyone in the world will not know who I am. I still have a great time to squander freely." Gu Xizhao sneered, "So, what do I hate? Besides, without love, how can I hate? The emperor really sticks to his face."

After hearing what she said, Zhao Jin not only did not get angry, but instead smiled, "It's better, I'm still afraid that my beloved concubine will fall in love with me over time..."

Gu Xizhao sneered and was about to fight back when a panicked voice from the palace maid came from outside, "I have something important to report to the emperor."

“Get in.”

"I will join the emperor, Concubine Xi..."

Before the palace maid finished her greeting, Zhao Jin waved impatiently, "Didn't you ask you to take the second prince down to change your clothes? What happened?"

"I and Huarong took the second prince to the bathroom together, but the second prince was unwilling to let him serve him. Huarong thought the second prince was reserved, so she took the initiative to change clothes. However, the second prince suddenly became angry, pushed Huarong away and ran out..."

"How do you serve people with useless things? It's good, it must be because you are thick-handed and hurting people... Where are people now?"

Yun Shang hurriedly knelt down again. "Hua Rong went to chase him and ordered the slave to come and report to the emperor."

At the same time, Zhao Sansi, who was running inside and outside the palace with her collar covering her collar, was about to jump out of her heart. How could she know that her royal brother's palace maids were so enthusiastic, and she said she didn't need to serve her anymore. She did not listen to her.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise she would have been driven off by them. She was afraid that she would be in danger of being insured at this moment. Breaking the king would be a serious crime to implicate the nine tribes. Her unreliable mother would probably be dug out and dismembered. But she really was a "corpse" of five horses.

Zhao Sansi thought about the various tragic situations after her identity was exposed. The more she thought about it, the more she became more afraid. But the palace maid behind her was still chasing her. She was so anxious that she had no place to cover her body. But she ran out of exhaustion again, turned around and saw the door in front opened, she ran in without thinking.

"Sister Chan'er, have you seen someone just now?" The little palace maid who was pruning the branches inside asked Chan'er, who was carrying the gate and directing the palace maids to work.

When Chan'er heard this, she turned around and looked at the door, "You are the most concerned every day. In the past few days, the emperor allowed our concubines to build a pond in the palace. The people who come and go are all small eunuchs working. Who can there be?"

"But I clearly saw someone running over there..." The little palace maid muttered a few words, but when Chan'er looked impatient, she had to stop her mouth embarrassedly, and she tiptoed to look in the direction of the side hall.
