Chapter 180 Warning
"Just just think yesterday was a coincidence, and we both happened to meet each other. Seeing you drunk, the servant was so anxious that he wanted to cry, afraid of being punished, so I kindly took you to this other courtyard to settle down. Don't look at me with suspicion. I have no malice towards you!"
Xiao Chengli underestimated what happened yesterday.
Zhong Shuhao was half-believing and half-doubted, "Nothing is such a coincidence in the world."
Xiao Chengli sneered, "What do you mean is that I am waiting for you in a restaurant and specially brought you to another courtyard here to settle? Mr. Zhong, although you are the parent-child of Princess Chengyang, are you useful to me? Can you help the Jia family return to the court, or can you help me avenge me?"
I……
Shu Zhong was speechless.
Yes, he can't help the sixth prince Xiao Chengli.
Even if his mother is Princess Chengyang, he can do nothing.
He is not a senior official of the court, and he cannot influence the decisions of the court, nor can he affect the emperor's decisions.
After thinking it through, he simply said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness in taking in yesterday. You are still waiting for me at home, so I will say goodbye first."
"Wait! Your Highness helped you, so you left like this?"
Xiao Chengli looked at him with a smile.
Zhong Shuhao frowned, "What does Your Highness want me to do?"
Xiao Chengli took a sip of tea, "I heard your servant nagging. Yesterday, you were so angry that you went to the restaurant to drown your sorrows."
Shuhao Zhong immediately became alert and was also scolding the idiot in his heart.
The other party didn't understand the identity and dared to say anything.
It's simply seeking death!
He said, "I am useless to Your Highness. Staying there is nothing but a waste of food."
Xiao Chengli laughed, "Do you think I am keeping you here to do things for you? Are you stupid? You Shuhao Zhong, Princess Chengyang's legitimate son, Princess Chengyang married Queen Tao. You can even think about it, but you will not help me no matter what."
"Your Highness knows that I won't help you, why do you still keep me?"
Xiao Chengli shook his head and smiled, "I am the one who sees you pitiful and hurts your kind, so I will meddle in other people's business and warn you a few words. But you don't appreciate it."
Zhong Shuhao frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, how can I feel pitiful?"
Xiao Chengli smiled and said, "Do you think you will not fall into the position of Your Highness? You are such a fool! Your Highness asks you, if one day the third prince ascends that position, will your sister Zhong Shuyun be the queen as she wishes? Can her child succeed in the throne?
Do you think Queen Tao can tolerate your sister and your mother Princess Chengyang? Do you believe it or not, after the third prince ascended that position, the first thing Queen Tao did was to eradicate your family. By then, your fate would be worse than that of Your Highness."
"Don't provoke discord!"
Zhong Shuhao's face turned blue and his fists were clenched, "Don't think you are the prince, just talk nonsense."
Xiao Chengli sneered, "Is this your highness nonsense? Why don't you ask yourself your heart? Yesterday you came out of the Third Prince's Mansion. You know more than anyone else what the Third Prince's attitude towards your sister. In the long run, do you really think your sister can have a good end? With Queen Tao's ruthless means, can she tolerate Princess Chengyang provoking her several times? I'll just say it directly, the day when the third prince ascends the throne is the day when your Zhong family is killed."
Bang!
Zhong Shuhao punched him on the stone table, "Do you think I don't know the purpose of sowing discord? You hold a grudge against Empress Tao, you want to take revenge. You want to provoke the relationship between our Zhong family and the empress and son, and use our Zhong family's hands to avenge you. I tell you, you made the wrong plan. The Zhong family will never cooperate with you, let alone be used by you."
Xiao Chengli laughed, "You are right, I do want to take revenge. But it doesn't matter if you have to worry about your highness. I will avenge you personally. As for you, Zhong Shuhao, you are still dreaming of the love between the third prince and your sister. You should wake up.
I am brothers with the third brother. I know better than you. They are both the father's children. Do you think he will be an exception? It's ridiculous and lamentable! Like us, he is all people who use all means to deceive the world. However, he is better than everyone at coaxing people with gentle words.
When you have feelings and righteousness, you don’t know that it is just his first mask. He has countless masks, and you will definitely have the opportunity to see them. I hope you don’t be afraid of not listening to my advice at that time.”
Zhong Shuhao smiled coldly, and he ignored Xiao Chengli's words at all.
He said, "The third prince is not a good person. Are you a good person? My sister has married the third prince and cooperates with the third prince. At least she has a chance. If you work with you, what can our family get? What can I get? Painting cakes and fooling, this method is also worthy of me, and you underestimate me too much."
"I have no intention of cooperating with your Zhong family."
hehe!
All that is said is nonsense.
Shuhao Zhong didn't believe a word.
Xiao Chengli said solemnly: "I have said so much, and the only purpose is to let Empress Tao and his son have more enemies. As for whether you want to cooperate with you, you don't care."
Zhong Shuhao smiled coldly, "Guess, if I tell Empress Tao what you said today, what will happen? Do you think you still have a chance to make trouble?"
Xiao Chengli raised his eyebrows and his face was extremely calm, "You go to the palace to complain now, and I will accompany you to the end. I can tell you that even in front of Empress Tao and my father, I dare to say that I hold a grudge against Empress Tao. How can I forget the death of my mother? If I forget it, it would be very unfilial. I am a filial son, and this grudge will never be forgotten!"
It's really tough.
Zhong Shuhao gritted his teeth, "Your Highness is so courageous. I am not enough to cooperate with Your Highness, so I say goodbye!"
This time, he left simply and had no intention of continuing to drag on.
But the sixth prince Xiao Chengli did not try to keep him, but just watched him leave silently.
A moment later, Deng Shaojian came to Xiao Chengli.
"Zhong Shuhao actually dared to reject Your Highness, damn it!"
Xiao Chengli smiled and didn't care, "I have successfully planted the seeds of hatred in his heart. He rejected me, but I could see that his heart was shaken. After that, just add two more fires, he will sooner or later choose to cooperate with me."
Shaojian Deng reminded: "Your Highness should not be taken lightly, beware that he really goes to the palace to complain."
"He won't go to the palace to complain, he doesn't have the courage."
Xiao Chengli smiled confidently and looked confident.
...
Shuhao Zhong did not go to the palace to complain.
When meeting the sixth prince Xiao Chengli, he hopes that the fewer people will know, the better.
He would never take the initiative to say this unless he had to.
He also specifically instructed the servant to keep his mouth in mind and not to say anything out."
The servant immediately covered his mouth and ensured that he would not talk nonsense in the future.
Zhong Shuhao reluctantly tolerated him.
...
The sixth prince Xiao Chengli is preparing to set off for the imperial tomb.
But I didn't expect that there was someone waiting for him in Wuli Pavilion outside the city.
"Sixth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. Brother, I specially prepared a glass of wine to see you off."
The second prince was wearing a cloak and wrapped tightly, like a sleeping beauty in hibernation.
He raised his wine glass and invited the sixth prince Xiao Chengli.
Seeing this, Xiao Chengli's face turned pale.
My heart suddenly became panicked.
Young Master Deng quietly comforted: "Your Highness, don't be afraid of him! The second prince acts strangely and never plays cards according to the rules. Even if he picks everything, your highness doesn't need to panic. If he dares to pick it up, it means that he has no intention to cause trouble into the palace, and everything has a turning point."
Xiao Chengli took a deep breath, "Thank you, Eunuch Deng."
"Your Highness adapts to the situation, don't panic, and ask him to catch the handle."
"I know the importance of this."
He got off the carriage and headed to Wuliting.
Sure enough, wine, food, tea and water have been prepared.
The second prince Xiao Chengwen looked at him with a smile, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, and the sixth brother has reduced his purity. The conditions for the imperial tomb are so poor that the sixth brother can rarely return to the capital once, so why don't you stay for a longer time?"
The sixth prince Xiao Chengli said calmly: "I want to keep mourning for my mother, how can I indulge in enjoyment? Let's save wine and food. I use tea instead of wine and toast my second brother a cup. My second brother is willing, but I can still think of giving me a ride in person."
Xiao Chengwen smiled slightly, "Sixth brother seems to have a lot of resentment? Has he still been living in the imperial tomb for more than a year, but still he has not eliminated the hatred in his heart?"
Xiao Chengli lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and smiled sarcastically, "I don't understand what my second brother means? You also know that I am stupid and have a slow brain reaction. Second brother is worse than to say it clearly."
"You have a slow brain reaction and you can still know what I have. If you have a fast brain reaction, wouldn't you want to go to heaven?"
Xiao Chengwen looked at him with a smile.
Xiao Chengli's face changed slightly, and then he laughed at himself, "I am a down-and-out prince, and I can still go to heaven. What are the jokes about my second brother? The good things in this world have never had anything to do with me."
Xiao Chengwen smiled, picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.
He said solemnly: "I wish my sixth brother a good journey and a safe journey. I will say goodbye first!"
Huh?
It's true that he is not at ease in playing cards.
Xiao Chengli stood up quickly and greeted the second prince to leave.
When the other party disappeared from sight, Deng Shaojian came to the sixth prince Xiao Chengli, "Your Highness, are you okay?"
Xiao Chengli gritted his teeth and sneered, "I didn't expect my second brother to be so idle, so he came to knock me out."
"He hits His Highness?"
Xiao Chengli focused his attention, "He warned me not to do anything randomly, why? Queen Tao killed her mother, why don't I do anything randomly?"
"His highness calms down!" Deng Shaojian persuaded, "Since the second highness dares to show up and still dares to hit His Highness, then the next opportunity must be changed."
Xiao Chengli was a little unwilling to accept it, but he also knew that Eunuch Deng's words were reasonable.
You can't fight for your life!
Before the enemy dies, he must protect himself and leave a useful body to take revenge in the future.
"Eunuch Deng, what should I do?"
"Hidden for the time being, don't leave the imperial tomb, be careful of being held in the handle and sue him. Your Majesty has a bad temper and lacks father-son affection for His Majesty..."
There is no need to say anything later.
It's just the same thing. The emperor has no father-son affection for Xiao Chengli. If someone instigates him, he will be afraid that his life will be lost and he will end up with a concubine Jia Shu.
