The prince hugged Chu Xiyuan and was terrified.

The emperor also had a gloomy face and looked unhappy.

King Cheng was secretly happy. Although Chu Yanchen's son had escaped danger by chance, his good days were about to come to an end.

Even if the emperor dotes on him, it is impossible for him not to blame him for this matter.

A few days ago, he and the prince were having a hot affair, but now he was threatening the safety of the prince's eldest son, who was the apple of the prince's eye.

How could the prince not turn hostile?

Thinking about the scene of Chu Yanchen being scolded and punished, King Cheng became even happier.

The fourth brother also has this day!

But before the emperor and the prince could speak.

Chu Xiyuan suddenly stared at him with wide eyes, "Second Uncle, why are you so happy?"

King Cheng: “…” No, he was just secretly happy in his heart and didn’t show it, right?

"Jingyou and I couldn't come back and were almost assassinated. Is your second uncle happy?" Chu Xiyuan asked again with his eyes wide open.

King Cheng's heart suddenly tightened.

The emperor and the prince looked at him with strange eyes.

And that guy from number four, is he clenching his fists to beat him up?

"Uncle is happy that you guys are back safely! When he found out you were missing, he was really worried!" King Cheng said seriously, "I'm really going to be sad because you misunderstood me like this!"

"We hid in the firewood pile and saw everything clearly. Before we came back, Second Uncle was laughing so happily!"

"Second uncle keeps blaming fourth uncle and Jingyou. When you heard that my father was going to look for me regardless of his own safety, you were grinning even more happily!"

Chu Xiyuan's expression was more serious than his.

And a little child, staring at him with a pair of clear eyes, questioning him without blinking.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a child is framing him.

"No... no, who taught you to talk like that?" King Cheng felt nervous.

He originally thought that he would definitely be able to step on the fourth brother today!

Let the fourth brother also have a taste of what it felt like to be scolded and trained and disliked by his father in the past!

Unexpectedly, the prince's son would actually jump out to defend the fourth brother?

Didn't he almost die?

Wasn’t he frightened by the man in black?

How do you catch yourself biting yourself?

"You are gone, and your second uncle is still laughing?" The emperor's voice was cold.

"no!"

"We all saw it!" Chu Xiyuan said sternly.

"My second uncle said that it was Jingyou who was playful and threw away the guards, causing us to be in danger."

"But it was because I wanted to capture that beautiful sika deer myself that I didn't notice the danger."

"It was Jingyou who hid me at the most dangerous moment and risked his life to lead away those assassins alone!"

"Second Uncle, I may still be a child, but I will admit my mistakes and I won't let Jingyou take the blame for me!"

"I won't lie just because I'm afraid of being scolded! Why do you want to slander Fourth Uncle and Jingyou? Why do you want to sow discord between Fourth Uncle and my father?"

Chu Yanchen was also shocked when he heard this, and quickly held his son in his arms, looking him up and down carefully to see if his baby son was injured.

King Cheng didn't expect that after the first attack failed, neither did the next one.

He actually fell into a situation where a little child looked up at him and questioned him over and over again.

He saw that his father and the prince were looking at him with increasingly cold eyes.

King Cheng asked anxiously, "Isn't Second Uncle worried about you? What do you mean by questioning Second Uncle like this? Who taught you to question like this? What's your intention?"

"Now that you're back, why are you hiding among the firewood?"

"That's not right. There were so many guards around looking for you. How did you return to the camp and hide without alerting everyone?"

How dare the little brat question him?

Someone must have taught him to say that!

It was because I was too anxious just now that I didn’t notice these suspicious points!

Now that he asked back, his father and the crown prince must have doubts as well, and they can't just suspect him!

"You have nothing to say? It's not good for children to lie. It seems that those words just now were taught by someone."

"As long as you tell me who taught you those words, your uncle will not blame you." King Cheng smiled lovingly.

Chu Xiyuan took a step back, as if he was afraid of him, and gently grabbed the corner of the emperor's sleeve.

"Grandfather, can Xiyuan report to you alone?" Chu Xiyuan said pitifully.

Looking at the Crown Prince's dirty little face and the tattered holes in his gorgeous clothes.

The emperor's heart softened with love for his grandson. "Okay, you and Jingyou go wash up, change your clothes, drink some calming soup, and then come back to report to the emperor."

"No," Chu Xiyuan said seriously, "If that happens, my second uncle will say that someone else taught me to say that."

The emperor swept his cold eyes across King Cheng's face.

King Cheng: “…”

This kid is determined to make things difficult for him today, right?

"Okay," the emperor took Chu Xiyuan's hand and looked at Jingyou again, "Jingyou, do you want to come with us?"

Jingyou shook his head and said, "Jingyou, go change your clothes first and wait for the emperor's grandfather to summon you at any time."

The emperor nodded and told Chu Yanchen, "Ask the imperial physician to take a good look at Jingyou. You are such a generous father."

"I know I was wrong." Chu Yanchen replied respectfully.

How could there be any blame in the look in the emperor's eyes?

Instead of blaming him, there was a bit of praise and sympathy!

He did not forget that the Crown Prince just said that it was Jingyou who risked his life to lure away the assassin alone.

The emperor is praising the fourth brother and his son, both of whom are loyal and brave!

The emperor took Chu Xiyuan's hand and returned to the central tent.

Before leaving, he didn't even bother to look at King Cheng.

King Cheng clenched his fists, filled with anger.

The prince gave him a cold look and said, "My son is gone, and you are still smiling?"

"Your Highness, I did not..."

"I am going to look for my son, are you happy?"

"no……"

The prince sneered and looked at him more unkindly.

Before the prince left, he patted Chu Yanchen on the shoulder and said, "Fourth brother, a tiger father will have a dog son. I will thank you after I have learned everything about today."

"Brother, you're welcome."

"I have some excellent calming soup. I'll have someone send it to Jingyou later." The prince nodded.

King Cheng clenched his fists...it turned out that they were a family and he was an outsider!

Ridiculous! Where is the real family affection in the royal family? He just doesn't believe that the relationship between these people is so unbreakable!

"It's better that second brother didn't do what happened today." Chu Yanchen suddenly looked at him and spoke coldly.

"What are you talking about?!" King Cheng's face tightened.

"Father is kind to us brothers. Even if we make mistakes, he often forgives us," Chu Yanchen said in a deep voice, "but Father cannot tolerate brothers killing each other. Second brother, please don't cross Father's bottom line."

"you……"

Without waiting for King Cheng to argue, Chu Yanchen turned around and left with his son in his arms.

In the emperor's tent, Chu Xiyuan told the emperor everything that had happened.

He did not even miss how King Cheng laughed secretly and instigated.

After Chu Xiyuan finished speaking, his mouth was dry and his face was full of fatigue.

The emperor touched his head lovingly and was about to speak when he heard a sound outside the tent, but no one reported it. He knew that it was the Embroidered Uniform Envoy who had returned.

"Xi Yuan is very honest and brave, and he is very meticulous when he looks at people. This is rare." The emperor smiled and said, "Go back and have a good rest. Ask the imperial physician to take another look."

"Doesn't the Royal Grandfather blame me?"

"You have learned your lesson and can honestly admit your mistakes. Grandfather Huang will not blame you."

"Thank you, Grandfather!" Chu Xiyuan's eyes lit up. He suddenly felt that the Grandfather, whom he had always been a little afraid of, was actually a kind grandfather.

No wonder Jingyou is not afraid of his grandfather. When being with Jingyou, he becomes more and more brave.

Chu Xiyuan left happily.

The emperor's face darkened. "Come in."
