Concubine Luo's guess was right. The next morning, the emperor issued an imperial decree, announcing that the eighth prince, Zhao Lingxi, would be the crown prince. This news undoubtedly shocked the court.

Everyone originally thought that the new crown prince would be either the fourth prince or the fifth prince, but they never thought it would be the eighth prince.

Grand Master Luo's performance in the court today was obviously more arrogant, and Liu's family began to worry. After hearing the news, Concubine Liu rushed to Zehua Palace, and wanted to ask Xie Lingbai what he said to the emperor yesterday, but who knew that he was told , His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has left the palace.

"Absurd, didn't the palace tell His Highness Fourth that he is still weak and cannot leave the palace at will?"

"Returning to your empress, His Highness only left the palace with the permission of the emperor."

Concubine Liu Gui had nothing to say, so she could only turn around angrily and go back to Xiliu Palace. Xie Lingbai, who was about to walk to the gate of the palace, would be glad that she had left one step earlier if she knew that Concubine Liu Gui had gone to look for him.

He had to go out of the palace today, he had to go to another courtyard to see what Wen Changheng was doing, why was there no news at all!

Seeing that he was about to reach the gate of the palace, Xie Lingbai suddenly felt that something was wrong. He turned his head and looked behind him, only to find that there was a little eunuch behind him.

He took a step forward, and the little eunuch followed, and when he stopped, the little eunuch stopped too.

"Which palace are you from? What are you doing with me? Did the imperial concubine send you here?"

"If you go back to the Fourth Highness, the servant belongs to the East Palace."

"East Palace?" Xie Lingbai thought for a while before realizing that the Crown Prince of the East Palace is now the Eighth Prince, so this little eunuch belongs to the Eighth Prince, so why should he follow him?

"Then why follow me?"

"His Royal Highness ordered the servant to go out of the palace to buy things, but the servant was careless and forgot to bring his waist badge, so he would definitely not be able to go out. If he delays the time because of this, he will be punished later. I just saw that the fourth highness seems to be going out of the palace too. Then I thought about..."

Xie Lingbai carefully sized up this little eunuch, who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, fair-looking, well-behaved and cute, he didn't look like a bad guy.

"Then you follow me, and I'll take you out."

The little eunuch laughed happily upon hearing this, and said, "Thank you, Fourth Highness."

Xie Lingbai saw that when he smiled, the two small canine teeth gleamed at the corners of his mouth, making him seem even cuter, so he almost couldn't help but want to pinch his cheeks.

"Let's go..."

He withdrew his inexplicable thought, then led the little eunuch towards the gate of the palace, showed the guard the token he had just asked for from the emperor, and then walked out in a big way.

After leaving the palace gate, he couldn't help taking a deep breath. Although it was only separated by a wall, he felt that the whole person was much more relaxed.

It's a pity that I have to go back later.

He walked towards the other courtyard, but after walking for a while, he had to stop, turned his head and looked at the people behind him helplessly, and said, "I've already left the palace, why are you still following me?"

The little eunuch looked a little aggrieved, and replied: "I... it's my first time leaving the palace, and I don't know how to go."

"Then where are you going to buy things?"

At this time, a peddler selling candied haws came over, and the little eunuch's attention was attracted away. He looked eagerly at the bunches of candied haws, and Xie Lingbai couldn't help laughing: "Do you want to eat candied haws?"

"What is candied haws?"

"Well, this is it."

The little eunuch pursed his lips, nodded and said, "I want to eat..."

Xie Lingbai paid for a bunch and handed it to him. He happily took it, and then bit off one, his cheeks bulging like a small animal.

"Just like you, you can be kidnapped and sold within a short time after you come out. Why did your prince send you to buy things? It's too unkind."

"I'm very capable!"

"Heh, I think it can be eaten, okay, can you tell me what you are going to buy now? Although I am not very familiar with this imperial city, at least I am better than you."

"I'm going to the city gate."

"The gate of the city? What can I buy at the gate of the city?"

The little eunuch stopped talking, Xie Lingbai was a little puzzled, what on earth was this guy trying to do, when he was about to continue interrogating, he heard a familiar voice.

"Master Xie, why are you here?"

Xie Lingbai turned around and looked at Wei Ze with some surprise, and said, "Wei Ze, you are here, and the master is also here?" He looked around, but did not find Wen Changheng.

"Master is in the prime minister's residence."

"Xiangfu?"

"Master Wen is not feeling well these days."

So Wen Changheng didn't enter the palace to look for him because he was busy seeing a doctor for Wen Xiangye?It's reasonable to think of it this way, but at least I sent him a message to make him worry for so long.

"Is Prime Minister Wen okay?"

"It's not clear yet, I'm about to go to Xiangfu, let's go together."

"it is good……"

Xie Lingbai turned his head and wanted to ask the little eunuch again where he was going, but found that the little eunuch was sneakily covering his face and turned around to run away, but before he could take a step, someone grabbed him by the collar.

He was grabbed by Wei Ze, and Xie Lingbai was taken aback by Wei Ze's action, because in his impression, he rarely did this.

"Ahhh let me go!"

The little eunuch screamed, Xie Lingbai couldn't bear it, and asked Wei Ze: "Wei Ze, why are you grabbing his collar?"

"No, I think he looks familiar..."

As Wei Ze said, he poked his head forward, looked carefully and then said speechlessly, "Zhao Lingxi, what the hell are you wearing?"

"I'm not, I'm not, you've got the wrong person!"

"Stop talking, what are you pretending for!"

Xie Lingbai was stunned for a while before he realized: "You called him just now... what is it?"

"Zhao Lingxi... oh, now I should call you His Highness the Prince."

Wei Ze let go, and Zhao Lingxi patted her neck angrily, then turned around and stared at Wei Ze, his eyes wanted to eat people, but coupled with his cute little bun face, it made people think laugh.

"Prince... are you the prince?"

Zhao Lingxi rolled her eyes at Xie Lingbai, and said angrily, "You still have the nerve to ask."

"Huh? No, I don't seem to have offended you, do I?"

Not only did he not offend him, but he bought candied haws for him just now, why is he acting like an enemy?Could it be because of the incident between Grand Master Luo's daughter and Yun Molian last time?

"Humph--"

Wei Ze asked directly, "Just tell me, what are you planning to do?"

Wei Ze's father was the servant of the Ministry of War, and he had always been on the Luo family's side, so Wei Ze and Zhao Lingxi would see each other from time to time when they were young, and they were quite familiar with each other.

"I want to leave the palace!"

In fact, Zhao Lingxi is also there, but maybe because of his cute appearance, he looks younger, and he speaks in a childish voice.

"Run away from the palace? Why?"

"Isn't it because my father suddenly ordered me to be the prince, and I obviously did nothing quietly, so why did it fall on me? I am too unlucky!"

Wei Ze couldn't laugh or cry: "Everyone is fighting for this seat, how come you are so disgusted with it?!"

"I don't care about it. Besides, he and Brother Wuhuang would not be willing to be. It's too much to throw this hot potato to me!"

Xie Lingbai probably knew the reason for his enmity just now, Wei Ze commented: "So you are the three Nizi brothers, but it's a pity, the emperor has already announced it to the world, so you can be right if you don't want to, you don't have to choose."

"That's why I'm leaving the palace."

"Come on, just like you, you were sold within two steps, and you might even count the money."

"you!"

Zhao Lingxi was very angry, Xie Lingbai looked at the two of them, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that when Wei Ze was talking to Zhao Lingxi, his attitude was obviously very different.

It was as if he had changed himself. He had known Wei Ze for so long, but he had never seen him with such an expression.

"I don't care about you, I'm leaving!"

Zhao Lingxi turned around and left, Xie Lingbai was a little worried: "What should we do? If he gets lost, we can't explain it, right?"

On the one hand, he was worried that he was in danger, and on the other hand, he brought it out just now. If it was really lost, then the Luo family would not have skinned him by then.

"Let me think about it." Wei Ze said while holding Zhao Lingxi, Zhao Lingxi shook his hand a little irritably, but did not shake off, he said fiercely: "Let go, I'm annoying you to death!"

"Zhao Lingxi, you really don't want to be a prince?"

"Nonsense, why should I run if I want to be?"

"But don't you like Murong Ningzhu?"

"So what? He doesn't like me."

"But if you are a good prince and make some achievements, maybe he will change his mind?"

"Really?"

"of course."

Zhao Lingxi thought for a while, and struggled: "But if he still refuses to like me when the time comes, wouldn't I be at a loss?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't like it. After you inherit the throne, you will have the greatest power in the world. Dare he not listen?"

Zhao Lingxi's eyes lit up in an instant, and she said happily, "Your idea sounds like a good one, why did I think of it?"

"It's a pity that you have to leave the palace."

"I, I, I, I'm not leaving, I've decided, I want to be the prince, but I don't know how to make him like me, Wei Ze, please give me some advice."

"Okay, I'll help you think of a way to chase him, as long as you return to the palace obediently."

"Good good..."

Wei Ze hooked the corner of his mouth, Xie Lingbai looked at him dumbfounded, um, is this still the Wei Ze he knew?How do you feel, it looks particularly cunning now?
