Chapter 455 The Hermit
Chapter 455 The Hermit
The Third Prince's Mansion.
"Do you need my help?"
In the courtyard planted with smiling golden flowers, the fourth prince Qin Mingyun leaned lazily on a rosewood chair, looking very comfortable.
In his hand he held a white porcelain cup that was as smooth as jade. In the clear tea soup in the cup were golden smiling flowers with petals stretched out. As Qin Mingyun blew gently, the tea waves rippled, the tea smoke rose, and the tea fragrance diffused.
Smiling Golden Flower is Smiling Golden Chrysanthemum, a kind of chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemum is the hermit described by literati and poets.
"No need, I know what to do." The third prince Qin Mingjin leaned back on the rosewood recliner, looked at the dazzling sunlight, narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and said nonchalantly.
"You know what's going on. Your mother has been murdered again." The fourth prince Qin Mingyun couldn't help but poke the third prince Qin Mingjin in the heart.
When Concubine Li was murdered and the Third Prince was imprisoned in Yueshi Palace, it was he who went to Zhaozheng Palace to look for his father, although he did not find him.
The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince have gotten along well with each other since childhood, just like brothers from the same mother. They have a good relationship and understand each other very well. That's why the Fourth Prince spoke without hesitation, touching people's hearts and bringing out the hidden pain in the Third Prince's heart.
The Third Prince's escapist behavior made the Fourth Prince very dissatisfied. However, it was precisely because he cared that he had such emotional fluctuations.
The fourth prince Qin Mingyun stood up, drank the scented tea in the cup in one gulp, and casually poured the Smiling Golden Flower in the cup into the flowers. Finally, he threw the cup into the flowers as well.
"You planted the smiling golden chrysanthemums in this courtyard. Do you intend to use them to represent yourself? Do you really want to be a hermit?" he said angrily.
"Is it not good?" The third prince Qin Mingjin raised his eyes and looked at the fourth prince Qin Mingyun calmly, and said: "Retreat while the tide is rising. From now on, I will rely on you."
The third prince Qin Mingjin smiled and put his hand on the fourth prince Qin Mingyin's shoulder.
"How can you call this retreating at the height of your career? You are just being cowardly and retreating." The fourth prince Qin Mingyin took the hand of the third prince Qin Mingjin away with a look of disgust.
"If you want to retreat, then retreat. You will help your brother get revenge, right?"
"No, what on earth do you think?"
"I have no idea about that position, and the evidence can't kill me. At most, it will just make people grumble behind my back."
"Besides that? When Lady Li left, you were still young and powerless, but now that Concubine Yu has been murdered, you still let it happen?"
"I knew she would harm Mother Concubine Yu, but I still let her succeed. I won't let her go. You will help me, right?"
The third prince Qin Mingjin looked straight at the fourth prince Qin Mingyun.
The two brothers looked at each other for a moment. The fourth prince Qin Mingyun frowned and said solemnly, "Mother would not be willing to do such a thing."
"I didn't let Concubine Hui kill anyone. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. From now on, I will be yours, Your Highness the Fourth Prince." The third prince Qin Mingjin said with a smile.
"Humph! You are the only one who has many tricks. You are like a cotton ball, but you are clearly a needle hidden in cotton."
The third prince Qin Mingjin nodded proudly, "So will you help?"
"Help." The fourth prince Qin Mingyun nodded helplessly.
"We two brothers have the best understanding of each other." The third prince Qin Mingjin let out a long sigh.
"Tell me about it." The fourth prince Qin Mingyun raised his chin slightly, looking like he was willing to hear the details.
"I will resign from the court and become a Taoist priest to pray for the happiness of my two mothers in the afterlife to show my sincerity. Brother, I want to meet him."
The fourth prince Qin Mingyun straightened his face.
The third prince Qin Mingjin raised his lips slightly and continued, "Given my eldest brother's temper, he will definitely not give up. I will go and add fuel to the fire."
"Adding fuel to the fire? You are pushing him to death." The fourth prince Qin Mingyun raised his eyebrows.
The third prince Qin Mingjin bent down and picked a smiling golden chrysanthemum, grasped the flower bud in his hand and crushed it, and the tiny petals fell through his fingers.
"Since I can't be a hermit, I'd better live a life of glory and fame."
"Tsk, it's a good thing that third brother is no match for me." The fourth prince Qin Mingyun placed his hand on the hand of the third prince Qin Mingjin holding the flower and shook hands with him.
