Chapter 68 is the fourth
Xiaohuan looked at the prince, narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't let me expose it too early. I don't want the game to end early."
The prince looked at Xiaohuan and saw the deep cold light in the latter's eyes, and suddenly wanted to escape. At this time, Lin Qian's voice suddenly came from not far away and said, "Your Highness, why didn't you call me when you came?"
Lin Qian's sudden appearance made the prince's idea of leaving directly change slightly. He just came to talk to Lin Qian, but nothing happened.
Thinking about this, the prince smiled kindly and looked at Lin Qian and said, "I just came here. Seeing that you are busy, I didn't disturb you. I should have come during the day, but I really don't have time during the day.
"Where is it? It won't bother you." Lin Qian smiled and said, "Find a quiet place to sit down. I'm not very busy here."
Seeing that he was completely ignored, Xiaohuan suddenly felt a nameless anger. He frowned, but endured not to say anything.
Lin Qian did not see Xiaohuan's unhappiness, but the prince was always paying attention to Xiaohuan's changes. He had to guard against what Xiaohuan would do. After all, this old snake demon was even afraid of evening memories, not to mention him, an ordinary person.
Lin Qian took the prince to the backyard, but suddenly thought that he had not prepared hot tea and snacks, so he talked to the prince and was ready to get it.
But when Lin Qian turned around, he saw Xiaohuan standing alone and still, lowering his head slightly. He didn't know whether he was thinking or remembering something. The moonlight sprinkled on him and cast a faint silhouette, which formed a sharp contrast to the noise in the room and seemed very lonely.
More than Lin Qian, the prince's eyes that had been following Lin Qian also stopped on Xiaohuan at this moment. At this moment, Xiaohuan seemed to have no attack power at all. He was very different from his usual arrogance, like a lost child, which made Lin Qian feel a little uncomfortable and unconsciously walked over.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Qian walked to Xiaohuan and asked softly.
Xiaohuan looked at Lin Qian and shook his head gently and said, "It's nothing."
"Then don't stand here anymore. Go back to the house, or... let's talk together..." Lin Qian suddenly thought of the discord between Xiaohuan and the prince, and said, "I won't talk for too long. Can you go back to your room and have a rest first?"
"Why didn't you tell me that he was your brother." Xiaohuan felt that at this moment, Lin Qian was cautious when talking to him, but not as fearful as before, but as soft as taking care of his feelings. Therefore, he took the opportunity to sink down, and even his eyes softened, creating a lonely atmosphere.
"I was taken care of a lot when I entered the city, and because of my relationship, Shuangwu said that I would never see him in the future. I felt guilty, so I called him brother. It's not a big deal." Lin Qian looked at Xiaohuan's low face and said unconveniently, "You don't want to be like this. It's not because of your brother's business."
"I'm fine. Go and do your work." Xiaohuan smiled gently and said, "I'll go back to rest first."
Lin Qian looked at Xiaohuan's departure back and suddenly felt a little sad. She sympathized with the prince's high position. How could she forget that Xiaohuan was the snake king and was also in a high position... It was not until Xiaohuan entered the house and closed the door that Lin Qian thought of going to bring tea to the prince.
When the prince saw Xiaohuan leave, he entered the room pointed to him by Lin and sat at the table.
At the moment Lin Qian entered the kitchen, Xiaohuan suddenly appeared silently in the prince's room and said in a low voice in the prince's surprised gaze, "It's not a small matter for you to adjust the position with Shuangwu. Take care of yourself."
The four words of self-righteousness are full of threat, and at the same time, there was a huge wave in the prince's heart. He was stunned for a moment and stared at Xiaohuan in panic and said, "What do you want?"
Xiaohuan smiled evilly and said, "Don't provoke me."
"You!" The prince has never been threatened like this. He doesn't know how he would be suddenly restrained by an old snake demon, and only he, Shuangwu and Wanyi know about this matter. Now, Xiaohuan is the fourth person to know, but how did he know... The prince gritted his teeth and asked bravely, "How do you know?"
"There's nothing I don't know." Xiaohuan leaned against the window and said lightly, "Don't try to challenge my bottom line, otherwise, you will definitely be more miserable than Yan Guangtai."
"You! Why did you do this?!" After asking, the prince suddenly laughed again and said, "Is it because of Lin Qian, because you like Lin Qian?"
When Xiaohuan heard the prince's words, he suddenly felt that some questions had been answered, but he still said coldly, "Take care of yourself."
"Why do you hate me so much?" The prince's heart was blocked. After knowing that he was not the destined emperor, he worked harder than anyone else. He wanted to make the world peaceful and let the people live a stable life with his own efforts, but now he was threatened by Xiaohuan. He suddenly felt that his years of efforts were in vain and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Just when the prince asked the question, Xiaohuan suddenly disappeared. The prince looked at Xiaohuan dissipated in the air, fell back on the chair and muttered to himself, "Why are you forcing me like this..."
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Qian pushed the door and entered. He saw the prince muttering to himself and said quickly, "Help me get it."
The prince got up, reluctantly smiled, took the tray in Lin Qian's hand and put it on the table, and said slowly, "Nothing, I'm just worried about the palace."
"In the palace? What happened?" Lin Qian closed the door, sat down and asked, "If there is anything unhappy, just say it. Maybe I can give you some advice."
"Thank you." The prince couldn't speak directly about his life, so he had to say, "I'm afraid Yan Guangtai is hopeless... Although we don't make peace, he is my brother after all, and I can't help but feel a little sad."
"How could this happen... Didn't you say that you saved your life last time... Why..." Lin Qian remembered that the prince said that Yan Guangtai had no life to worry about last time, but now why did he say that he was hopeless...
"I thought that the wound had been under control, but recently the wound on my leg suddenly began to festate... Wan Yi saw it and said that if he couldn't find a special treatment, I'm afraid... I'm afraid he would ulcerate and die..." The prince sighed softly, "Now... he only has half his life..."
"Is it... the place where Xiao Huan injured him is ulcerated?" Lin Qian asked tentatively.
The prince nodded and paused before saying, "It was the place where he was hit by his whip. The blood had stopped, but now it has begun to rotten meat... I don't know what to do, and I can't think of anything I can do for him."
"Don't be sad." Lin Qian bit his lower lip and said, "I've seen Xiaohuan's whip, and... I've also been hurt by that whip, but I'm fine... Is there something wrong with your medicine?"
Lin Qian remembered that he was trapped in a thorn cage and scratched his finger. At that time, he didn't care, and the wound healed quickly. It was not as dangerous as the prince said... After all, Xiaohuan once said that thorns are just a plant. How dangerous can a plant without poison be.
"What? Did he hurt you? Hearing this, the prince asked anxiously, "Where is the injury? Is it serious? Let me see."
"It was a long time ago, and I would have forgotten it if you didn't mention it. And he didn't mean it at that time. I was scratched when I played with his whip. Lin Qian did not tell the truth. After all, the conflict between the prince and Xiaohuan is very deep. She has just said that she was hurt and has a little regretted it. Now that the prince asks carefully, she naturally has to help Xiaohuan explain it.
"As long as it's okay." The prince pulled out a smile and sighed, "Yan Guangtai's medicine was opened by Wanyi, and there will be no problem, and... the ulceration did start from the place where Xiaohuan injured him. It must have something to do with this..."
"Let me ask Xiaohuan for you and see what he knows."
"No, don't annoy him." The prince said with concern, "Don't provoke him because of this. In case he is angry, I'm afraid you can't deal with it."
"No. He dares not." Lin Qian smiled and comforted the prince, "He won't hurt me."
"Don't ask, I just want to talk to you." The prince grabbed Lin Qian, who stood up and said, "Just sit down and talk to me. I've been busy all day and haven't spoken yet."
"Actually, it's not easy to be in the royal family, right?" Lin Qian recognized the melancholy in the prince's tone and sat down and said, "It sounds like you are the prince, but you are not happy. It's so difficult to find someone to talk to."
"Yes." The prince sighed and said, "It's too cold in the high place. People dare not tell me, and the brothers and sisters compete with each other and don't want to say anything. My father has no time to say, mother... My mother died early. Even if we don't die, as princes, we are not allowed to go to the harem often... I... I can really talk... Only you."
Lin Qian got up and sat next to the prince and said, "Well, don't be so sad. I can think of a lot of things in the palace, but you also need to adjust your mood! Now the palace must be in a mess. As a prince, you must shoulder your responsibility and share your father's worries.
"It's good to have you." The prince looked at Lin Qian and thought about the girls he knew. He only felt that they were not as good as Lin Qian.
"Come to me when you are upset. Nothing else can help you, but it's okay to talk." Lin Qian smiled and said, "If you are not the prince, we will definitely get along better."
"Why?" The prince was puzzled for a moment.
"Because if you are not a prince, there will be a lot of time. We can go horseback, hunt, eat sugar-coated haws on the roadside, and put river lanterns during the festival. There are many particularly interesting things to do, and you don't have to worry about it."
Hearing Lin Qian's words, the prince's previous concerns disappeared in an instant. If he could play hand in hand with Lin Qian, it would be many times better than his current life... Thinking so, the prince was no longer worried about Xiao Huan's secret. If there was no secret, he would be much happier.
