"Don't you dare?" Chu Huanyan frowned, "Why don't you dare?"

Queen Wei looked at her coldly, "Why should I tell you?"

"Ha, since I can't explain the reason, I can naturally think that what the Queen Mother just said is just nonsense." Xiao Jinzhi's tone was leisurely, and it seemed that his mood was not affected by Queen Wei's words just now.

Empress Wei frowned, and the next moment, the crease between her eyebrows slowly relaxed again.

"Prince, please don't be complacent. Remember what I say, one day you will eventually become Xuan'er's stepping stone. Xuan'er is the one truly suitable to inherit the throne. As for you... you are nothing but a notorious waste."

Queen Wei's words clearly hid her anger. She was trapped in Fengyi Hall these days, and her heart was already full of resentment. Now she used Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan as an outlet to vent her anger.

Although this was the person Chu Huanyan wanted from the beginning, after all, it was easier to tell the truth when he was annoyed.

But when she heard Queen Wei's cold and mocking words, which showed no affection between mother and son, she still subconsciously held Xiao Jinzhi's hand.

Xiao Jinzhi held Chu Huanyan's hand and smiled at her, "It's okay."

"Since the Queen Mother is determined to support the third brother, I have nothing more to say. I hope the Queen Mother can take a good rest in Fengyi Hall, and it is best to find more things to kill time. After all..." Xiao Jinzhi paused for a moment. , and continued with a smile, "It's going to be a hard time being banned here."

After saying that, Xiao Jinzhi took Chu Huanyan, and the two of them turned and left Fengyi Palace without saluting.

Xiao Jin was extremely silent all the way out of the palace gate. Until he got on the carriage, Chu Huanyan gently pulled his sleeve.

"sorry."

"You're fine, why do you have to apologize?" Xiao Jinzhi said with a smile.

"I just want to confirm again whether the queen is really... so indifferent to you."

But she didn't expect that Xiao Jinzhi would come so quickly and happened to hear Queen Wei's words.

After all, she is his mother. No matter how open-minded and peaceful Xiao Jinzhi is, she should still be sad after hearing those words just now.

"There is nothing to apologize for. I already know clearly how my mother treats me." Xiao Jinzhi said calmly.

After saying that, seeing Chu Huanyan still looking at him with a frown, he chuckled and hugged her into his arms.

"Of course, I admit that after hearing those words with my own ears, I still feel a little uncomfortable. However, when I think that Yan Yan cares about me so much, the discomfort naturally disappears."

Seeing that Xiao Jinzhi didn't look like he was lying, Chu Huanyan felt a little relieved.

"Xiao Jinzhi, if, I mean if." Chu Huanyan opened the distance between the two and looked at Xiao Jinzhi seriously, "If one day, the emperor and the queen, for Xiao Rongxuan or for other reasons, What would you do if I wanted to kill you?"

"Of course I'm trying my best to protect myself, and I won't do anything like that." Xiao Jinzhi replied with a smile.

Although the planning and layout over the years may not be perfect, if his father, the emperor, and his mother really had murderous intentions towards him, it would be enough to protect himself.

"Then if you gain the upper hand, will you kill them?" Chu Huanyan continued to ask.

Xiao Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, "Why do you ask that?"

"I just want to know your thoughts, your truest thoughts." Chu Huanyan looked very serious.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at her silently and shook his head slowly, "No."

"Even if they try to kill you by any means necessary?"

"If that time comes, I will not be soft-hearted, but unless there is a reason to kill them, I will not take their lives, even Xiao Rongxuan."

He did feel unfair, but after all these years, he still had blood ties.

What's more, if he really killed them, he would be criticized by the world. Although he didn't mind the rumors, there was no need for the world to poke his spine with such things.

Chu Huanyan slowly exhaled. Although she had already guessed the answer, she was still a little confused when she heard Xiao Jinzhi say it with her own ears.

So what happened in the last life?

"Yan Yan, what would you do if it were you?" Xiao Jinzhi asked.

Chu Huanyan looked at him, "Isn't it obvious what I did? Chu Wanyan is dead, and Chu Ziyuan is now like a useless person, imprisoned in the Hou Mansion by me."

"Chu Wanyan was killed because she violated the law, and Chu Ziyuan brought it upon himself. You should not be blamed for all of this."

"But I have been secretly pushing it." Chu Huanyan laughed, "Whether it was Chu Wanyan who married into the Zhou family and got stuck in the quagmire, or Chu Ziyuan who was reckless and impulsive and got into trouble again and again, all of this was my handiwork. "

"However, I don't regret it, nor do I feel guilty. Blood love is certainly valuable, but what some people do is not worthy of what I tell them about blood love."

Chu Huanyan's eyes were firm and sharp, like a polished short blade with a sharp cold light, but if she didn't take the initiative to provoke him, she would naturally not be stabbed.

Xiao Jinzhi's eyes were filled with smiles and doting, "My family is smart and courageous, and it makes people happy just to look at them."

Outside the carriage, Qin Li had thoroughly mastered the ability to eavesdrop while driving.

Listening to the conversation just now, I sighed softly in my heart.

Sure enough, no matter what the serious topic is, His Highness can turn into a boring confession in the end.

Tsk! Sour!

……

After receiving Emperor Xiao's permission, Xiao Rongxuan immediately took the time to prepare for the donation.

Three days later, the money raised from the donation has not been received, but the third prince's words of praise for serving the country and the people have been spread in the streets and alleys of the imperial city.

Suddenly, the court was full of praises, and Xiao Rongxuan's reputation was even higher than before.

Chu Huanyan listened to the news and ate the pastry slowly.

"Miss, I think this must have been deliberately arranged by the third prince. Otherwise, why would so many people in the entire imperial city be praising you?"

"It was indeed a deliberate arrangement, but it was not Xiao Rongxuan, but Xiao Jinzhi." Chu Huanyan looked at Xian Yue and said.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Xian Yue was stunned for a moment, "Why does Your Highness the Crown Prince want to help the Third Prince build momentum?"

"The fund-raising event has just begun, but it has already made such a big noise. It seems that Xiao Rongxuan has gained a lot of benefits, but at the same time, he has been cut off from retreat. Now the more praises there are, the higher the expectations of the people will be. If He failed to raise funds, and ultimately failed to meet everyone's expectations, what do you think will happen?" Chu Huanyan explained.

"My servant understands, so Miss, do you and His Highness the Crown Prince want the Third Prince to fail in collecting donations and lose face?"

"No." Chu Huanyan shook her head and put down the cake in her hand, "What we hope is that he can do his best to raise donations. The better he does, the more the people will benefit from it."

Only in this way can we achieve the goal that we and Xiao Jin set out to achieve.

"Miss." A servant came in from outside the garden.

Chu Huanyan and Xianyue stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Xianyue asked.

The boy raised his hand and reported: "Miss, there is a Mr. Han outside the house who wants to see you."
