Late at night, Ye Huaijue was sitting in the courtyard drinking, when a dark shadow entered the Third Prince's Mansion.

"I told you that I have no interest in the throne. Just give up."

Ye Huaijue frowned. It was an exception to let him go once. He didn't expect him to find him again in such a short time.

"I also said that one day you will agree." Ling Xiao came out of the darkness.

"You'd better not get involved with Lingyue Kingdom's craftsmen, or I won't let you go next time."

Ling Xiao was his youngest uncle, and he loved him very much when he was a child, so he let him go.

"They were the ones who replaced me from prison back then. Although they have their own purposes, I have also used them in these years. As long as you ascend the throne, I will naturally not mix with them."

"I will not sit on the throne. You should give up and live a good life. I can find a place for you to settle down."

"Put it down? Although Emperor Ping Zhao forged evidence and used various charges to kill the entire Ling family, it would not be a pity to die like that.

I don't care about the revenge of exterminating the family, but my sister only has one son, you. As long as you ascend the throne, I will hide from the world and live in seclusion. "

"Little uncle, you are the only one left in the Ling family. My grandfather and mother-in-law are alive in heaven and hope you live well."

"No, what your grandfather loves most is power. He will only ask me to avenge him, but I just want to avenge my sister."

"Little uncle, you were not like this before. You don't like power struggles the most."

"Yes, my sister and I don't like power, but we were born in the Ling family and couldn't help ourselves.

For my freedom, my sister gave up and flew away with her beloved, entered the palace and became a princess, and gradually became your grandfather's puppet.

If my sister really died of illness, I would have nothing to say. "

Ling Xiao lowered his head after saying this. Everything he did was to avenge Concubine Xian.

"Is it true that the mother-in-law didn't die of illness?"

“You were still young at the time and had no idea that after your sister’s death, all the servants serving in Yongle Palace were removed.

On the anniversary of my sister's death, I went in through the secret passage to pay my respects, and unexpectedly found out about the strange circumstances of my sister's death. I have been investigating since then.

I just found out not long ago that my sister was tortured to death by Emperor Ping Zhao. "

"Qian Shang? Impossible!"

Ye Huai never believed it. Concubine Xian was a loving mother in his heart. How could she die because of Qian Shang?

Qian Shang is a forbidden drug in the palace. Those who are poisoned by this poison will have hallucinations and be tortured by phantoms every night. The reason why it is a forbidden drug in the palace is because Qian Shang not only has to endure mental torture, but also can't help but harm himself.

The favorite concubines of emperors in the past have been poisoned with this poison. The beauty was tortured into an old woman in a few days, and it was listed as a banned drug after thousands of deaths.

"Nothing is impossible. It's not like you don't know that your father only has the queen, mother and son in his heart."

"Did the mother-in-law do something excessive?" Ye Huaijue clenched his hands into fists and lowered his head without seeing his expression.

"Your mother-in-law was manipulated by your grandfather and did some things against her will.

But why did Emperor Ping Zhao torture a woman who gave birth to a prince for him like this? He can put his sister into limbo. "Ling Xiao's face was full of anger and ferociousness.

"Did the mother-in-law hurt... the mother-in-law?"

'My father treated my mother and concubine like this. Unless my mother and concubine brought life danger to my mother, my father would be so cruel. ’

The queen raised him with virtue and complaints, so how could he have the face to snatch Xiao Qi's throne?

"Yes, I don't know what the specific matter is."

The wise concubine would not let him get involved in political affairs. His father would definitely do anything to harm the queen, but weren't the queen, mother and son still fine? He felt dissatisfied that the virtuous concubine had to end up like that.

"Little uncle, when will it be time to retaliate?"

"That's the mother-in-law who gave birth to you." Ling Xiao yelled.

"My concubine hurt my mother first, and my mother treats me as if she were her own child. My father also treats me very well. How can I make them sad."

"My sister hurt the queen first. If she was given poisoned wine or white silk, I would have nothing to say. But Emperor Ping Zhao tortured her like this. How could I not hate my sister for being so tortured during her lifetime.

You have grown up next to the queen since you were a child. I don't ask you to hurt the queen. As long as you ascend the throne, I can let go of my hatred. "

"Little uncle, I like to lead troops. The throne is really not suitable for me. You should give it up."

"How can I let it go? My sister has sacrificed so much for me. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have entered the palace as a concubine." Ling Xiao held his head in pain.

"Little uncle, my mother-in-law gave up her freedom to enter the palace for you during her lifetime, and now she also doesn't want to see you hate and suffer for her."

"Then you sit on the throne and let your sister die in peace." Ling Xiao looked at Ye Huaijue with red eyes.

"Uncle, are you sure that my mother-in-law wants me to sit in that position?"

Ling Xiao has fallen into a demonic barrier. For so many years, the hatred in his heart has kept him alive. How could it be possible for him to give up?

"My sister definitely hopes that her child will be watched and worshiped by thousands of people."

At that time, he stopped thinking. Only with power in his hands could he really do what he wanted to do. Unfortunately, he understood it too late, and his sister who loved him the most became a victim.

"Uncle, my mother-in-law is also a victim of power. Why does she expect me to fight for that position?"

"Yes, why would sister think so?" Ling Xiao muttered to himself as he let go of his hand covering his head.

"Little uncle, put it down and find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to live in seclusion. I will visit you when I have time." Ye Huaijue knelt down and advised.

"Seclusion?"

How could he be in that mood? The day he walked out of prison, he was destined not to live a stable life.

No, since Ye Huai was absolutely unwilling, he could only take revenge in his own way.

"Since you don't want to, then forget it." Ling Xiao stood up and his eyes became firmer.

"Little uncle, don't do anything against me." Ye Huaijue's heart skipped a beat.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." After Ling Xiao said that, he turned and left.

Ye Huaijue looked at Ling Xiao's back for a long time and sighed.

The next day, agarwood and clear water

"Does the Third Prince have something on his mind?" Duan Qingyi asked, looking at the silent Ye Huaijue.

"There are some troubles. Is there anything Qingyi can't solve?"

He knew that Duan Qingyi was checking Zhao Yuzhu's jade pendant, wondering if she would speak.

"Naturally there is."

Her subordinates found out that Zhao Yuzhu would go to Taishi Mansion tomorrow to celebrate his birthday. This was her chance to check on the jade pendant, but she didn't want to ask Ye Huaijue for help.

"Qingyi, is there anything I can help you with? I still owe you for saving my life."

Seeing her hesitation, Ye Huaijue said he wanted to return the favor.

"I heard that tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the Taishi Mansion. I haven't seen any officials from the capital celebrating their birthdays. If the third prince wants to go, can you take me to see the world?"

"Of course it's okay. Qingyi will go with me tomorrow."

"Qingyi thanks the third prince. Qingyi can't help with the third prince's matter. I just learned a piece of music. I hope it can relieve the third prince's boredom."
