I rely on gossip to save the country

Chapter 106 It turns out that the relationship between the Xie brothers is not as peaceful as it see

Since then, Xie Chuyue has been confined to Changle Palace.

On the other side, in the prince's study, Xie Yunqi was reading a roll of memorials in his hand. The matters in these memorials were all things that Xie Yunqi could solve now.

In front of him stood a black-clad secret guard, with a blank expression on his face. He saluted his master with his fists clasped: "Master!"

"Well, what's the matter?" Xie Yunqi didn't even raise his head, but just asked lightly.

The secret guard took a step forward and whispered, "Master, the eldest prince has set out from the border and is on his way to the capital."

Hearing this, Xie Yunqi raised his head, frowned slightly, and his eyes flashed. What was the eldest prince doing back?

But suddenly he thought of something and asked the secret guard, "What about the Second Prince? How is he now? And has the Fourth Prince communicated with the First Prince?"

The secret guard lowered his head when he heard the question and told Xie Yunqi the news he had received one by one. "The master was assigned to the Second Prince's Mansion. Secret Guard Three sent a message that the Second Prince has been away from the mansion and the capital for some time. Secret Guard Six said that the Fourth Prince stayed at the brothel Piaoxiang Garden every night."

Xie Yunqi raised the corner of his mouth, "The fourth brother is quite good at disguising himself. He pretended to be very convincing. Even the emperor was fooled by him."

The secret guard lowered his head even lower. The master could talk about this matter, but he couldn't take a word.

"Go down and keep a close eye on the eldest prince!" After saying this, Xie Yunqi lowered his head to look at his memorials.

"Yes!" the secret guard responded and quietly disappeared into the room.

After everyone left, Xie Yunqi raised his head slightly, looked at the memorial in his hand and fell into deep thought.

No matter what, the eldest prince should focus on the border for the time being. After all, the rebellion has just been put down. If he leaves, it will be disastrous if a second rebellion breaks out.

But why did he return to the palace at this time?

Was it the father who secretly called him back, or was it the work of the second and fourth sons?

In fact, he was more suspicious of the fourth brother than the second brother, because the second brother was not on good terms with the eldest brother.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the five brothers seem to be friendly and respectful to each other. In fact, except for the fifth brother who has become a monk, none of them is a real coward.

Even the fifth brother, who became a monk, was still very secretive.

Now they need to be friendly and respectful to each other in public, and secretly let their father know the truth about their fight.

It is false to say that the royal children do not fight; they are just trying to see whose methods are more sophisticated.

Now, only they themselves understand the relationship between them. They have to fight in front of outsiders and always have to deal with sudden difficulties from their father.

At this time, a guard came from outside the door to report, "Your Highness, the Grand Tutor is here."

Xie Yunqi collected his thoughts and said calmly, "Well, please invite Master Taifu in."

Not long after the guard left, the Prince's tutor pushed the door open and walked in.

After entering the room, the Grand Tutor bowed to Xie Yunqi and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Yes!" Xie Yunqi also stood up and walked to the table, pouring a cup of tea for the master. "Why is the master here?"

The Grand Tutor did not beat around the bush and said, "Your Highness, Master Fanyin will bring the Fifth Prince to the Emperor's birthday."

Xie Yunqi was surprised for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on his originally calm face, "Oh, this is interesting."

Hearing Xie Yunqi's incoherent words, the Grand Tutor was a little confused, "What do you mean by that, Your Highness?"

Xie Yunqi shook the tea, touched the rim of the cup, and chuckled, "The eldest prince is also on his way back to the capital, the second prince has also hurried here, and now the fifth prince is coming too. The palace hasn't been so lively for a long time."

The Grand Tutor was also surprised when he heard this. The eldest prince was actually coming back?

Then, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Your Highness, the eldest prince, he returned to the palace secretly, right? If the emperor knew about it, he would be doomed. The eldest prince should not risk his life like this."

Xie Yunqi didn't know what his eldest brother was up to, "I can't guess the purpose of this eldest brother's visit."

After Xie Yunqi finished speaking, the two fell into silence.

After a long silence, the Grand Tutor reminded him, "Your Highness, you must be on guard against others. You should make sure everything is in place as soon as possible. I, your humble servant, will also be keeping an eye on the princes."

Xie Yunqi nodded, and the tutor left.

Xie Yunqi looked at the tea in the cup. Ripples appeared as he shook it, and he stared at the tea in a trance.

It's time to have some fun!

The emperor only let the second son back, probably to contain him, but the emperor also knew that the two of them would not have an open conflict, after all, Concubine Rong treated him and his sister as her own children. So he and the second son could not have a direct conflict.

But if the eldest brother is brought back, is it to contain the second brother? But there is no one who needs to be contained on the second brother's side.

Taking a step back, even if these two were here to trip him up, what about Lao Wu? Lao Wu had already become a monk, so why did the emperor want him to come back at this time?

On the other hand, in the Tianji Pavilion, Xie Yunqing frowned when he heard the news that the eldest prince and the fifth prince were returning to the palace.

Was that annoying guy Xie Yunli called back by my father or by the prince?

No matter who called him back, calling the eldest prince back, isn't that just to make things difficult for him? Knowing that he and the eldest prince are not on good terms.

Could it be that the emperor is clearing obstacles for the prince?

All the princes would want to fight for that position, but the crown prince is cunning and doesn't get along very well with all his brothers, but he's not bad either.

He originally thought that his father only wanted him to attend court this time he came back, but now, judging from various events, it is clear that he wanted to see him fight with the prince.

The prince was also smart, and secretly dismantled his father's tactics.

I'm afraid the prince still remembers the friendship between him and his mother.

Now, the emperor has summoned the eldest prince and asked them to form their own camps. The emperor is forcing them to become enemies.

Xie Yunqing got the news, and Xie Yunshen naturally got it as well.

Xie Yunshen was wearing a gorgeous dress, leaning on the small couch, looking at the letter in her hand and sneering.

Father is really calculating. Does he want the eldest and second brothers to be sharpening stones or stepping stones for the crown prince? Or does Father intend to change the crown prince?

But no matter what, what do these things have to do with him, a playboy?

However, he was a little surprised that Lao Wu came back.

The three brothers of the Xie family who received the news each had their own plans in mind, while Xie Chuyue, who was confined in Changle Palace, was almost bored to death.

After being locked up for a few days, Xie Chuyue couldn't stand it any longer, so she asked Phantom to disguise herself as her and confined her to Changle Palace, while she slipped out.

The system looked at the host's jumpy appearance and didn't think of stopping it at all. His host looked nondecent and acted like a spoiled child all day long, but she didn't miss any important tasks.
