If the Third Prince was truly gentle and benevolent, then when the Emperor had already appointed the Crown Prince, he would have made up his mind to be an existence that assisted the Emperor. How could he allow his good reputation to fester?
Moreover, now that there was a Crown Prince, the Third Prince's reputation was already so prominent. Even Lin Zeyu, who didn't usually praise others, directly said the Third Prince's good reputation. It could be seen how widespread the Third Prince's good reputation was.
Jiujiu wouldn't believe that there wasn't someone behind the scenes adding fuel to the fire.
Similarly, the more widespread the Third Prince's reputation was, the more it showed how ridiculous he was.
If the Crown Prince was truly a villain, then the Third Prince was a hypocrite. Moreover, he was a hypocrite who liked to pretend that he was a good person.
Jiujiu didn't like villains, but compared to villains, hypocrites were more disgusting. Because you knew that they were villains, you would be wary of them. However, hypocrites would talk about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, and then stab you in the back. It was simply impossible to guard against them.
Lin Zeyu wasn't stupid. Jiujiu only needed to say a little and he instantly understood the meaning of Jiujiu's words. But because he understood, his entire person was stunned.
He didn't like the Crown Prince before, so he had a good impression of the Third Prince who was praised by everyone. He even praised the Third Prince in front of the Emperor. But now, it seemed that the Third Prince wasn't a good person. .
Moreover, compared to the Crown Prince who was clearly bad, the Third Prince was more like a person who appeared to be unscathed on the surface but was rotten on the inside.
Although the Emperor poisoned people since ancient times, Lin Zeyu could guarantee that the poison he was poisoned with was completely different from the previous hidden guard leaders.
In the past, Lin Zeyu didn't think too deeply about it. But now, Lin Zeyu instantly remembered that the Third Prince was present when the Emperor forced him to express his loyalty.
In the past, Lin Zeyu didn't want to imagine people to be so bad. Now that Jiujiu mentioned it, Lin Zeyu instantly realized that the most painful thing to bite was a dog that didn't bark.
Although Lin Zeyu was guarded against by the Emperor, there was no doubt that he was also the Emperor's confidant. He had done so many things for the Emperor. Even if he didn't have any merits, he still worked hard. If he really thought about it, the Emperor didn't guard against him as much as he did now. He also wouldn't poison Jiujiu to guard against him.
Now that Jiujiu had opened her mouth, everything was instantly answered.
Lin Zeyu pursed his lips and lowered his head to look at Jiujiu. He said, "Jiuniang, what do you want to do now?"
Lin Zeyu's expression was exceptionally grave. If someone didn't know him well, they would definitely think that Lin Zeyu was threatening Jiujiu. However, Jiujiu knew that Lin Zeyu was already on her side. It was as if he would bury the corpse if she killed someone.
Jiujiu was especially satisfied that Lin Zeyu was on her side unconditionally. Her body, which was originally leaning against Lin Zeyu, leaned against Lin Zeyu as if she had no bones. Her two arms, which were as big as noodles, hugged Lin Zeyu's neck. Jiujiu's arms tightened and Lin Zeyu immediately lowered his head obediently.
Jiujiu raised her head and kissed Lin Zeyu's lips. She looked into Lin Zeyu's eyes and said, "I'm not a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch. Since you've already figured out who schemed against you, I naturally won't let him off."
"Then …" What do you want to do?
"If he dares to harm your health, then I'll make him lose the thing he wants the most."
The thing that the Third Imperial Prince wanted the most was the dragon throne under the Emperor's butt. If he didn't want it, why would he work so hard to study it? He even spread his good name for ten years. It was to the point that even if Lin Zeyu opened his mouth, the first person he would talk about would be him. From this, it could be seen just how powerful the Third Imperial Prince's brainwashing skills were.
If a normal person heard Jiujiu say that the Third Imperial Prince would lose the thing he wanted the most, they would definitely be scared out of their wits. They would even report Jiujiu. Even if they didn't, they would lock Jiujiu in the room and not let her out. However, Lin Zeyu was different.
Right now, Lin Zeyu was already burying his head in painstaking effort to figure out what to do.
When the two returned home, Jiujiu personally went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the two of them. After that, she pulled Lin Zeyu back in and began to fight with the fairies.
After eating to their heart's content, Jiujiu laid in the crook of Lin Zeyu's arm. The tip of her small nose was red as she said: "Tell me, how many children does the Emperor have in total?"
"Eight sons and three daughters. The most favored are the Third Princess and the Third Imperial Prince." And the two of them were, without exception, the Empress' children.
"Since the Emperor has eight princes, then what about the other princes?"
"The Second Imperial Prince's personality is average. When he reached adulthood, he directly moved out of the palace and wholeheartedly focused on being an idle prince. He doesn't even go to court. Although the Fourth Imperial Prince's personality is good, he is a bit cowardly. It's hard for him to take on big responsibilities. The Fifth Imperial Prince likes to bully kittens and puppies. The Sixth Imperial Prince is too average. The Seventh Imperial Prince and the Eighth Imperial Prince are still young."
"The Sixth Imperial Prince is average? How can you say that? "
Lin Zeyu made assertions about each of the princes, but he used the words' too average 'to describe the Sixth Imperial Prince. It was a bit too low.
Lin Zeyu pursed his lips: "Jiuniang, you don't know. The Sixth Imperial Prince was born when the Emperor was drunk and favored a palace maid. The Sixth Imperial Prince's mother's birth was too low, so the Sixth Imperial Prince was not favored at birth. When the Sixth Imperial Prince was old enough to begin his studies, his performance has always been average. Whether it was poetry, singing, riding, or archery, they were all exceptionally poor. A few days ago, the Emperor went to check on the results of the Sixth Imperial Prince's training. The Sixth Imperial Prince couldn't even lift a bow and arrow and was scolded by the Emperor.
Although Lin Zeyu's words were reasonable, Jiujiu's intuition told her that the Sixth Imperial Prince was not as average as he appeared on the surface.
Jiujiu knit her brows and thought for a bit before asking: "Then how does the Sixth Imperial Prince's mother treat the Sixth Imperial Prince?"
"I don't know." The reason he knew about the princes' performance was because the Emperor had asked him to observe them. The Emperor only asked him to observe the princes and did not ask him to observe the princes' mother. Naturally, he did not know about the Sixth Imperial Prince's mother.
Jiujiu pursed her lips. After a while, she said: "The Sixth Imperial Prince's mother was a palace maid, so the Sixth Imperial Prince is naturally an invisible existence in the palace. Then, tell me, such a prince, will he be bullied?"
"The Sixth Imperial Prince is a noble, who dares to bully him?"
"Husband, ah, husband, you are really too stupid." Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled: "You only know one thing and not the other. It is true that the Sixth Imperial Prince is noble, but he does not have the Emperor's favor. Not having the Emperor's favor in the palace is just as absurd as saying that you are the Emperor but don't have the imperial jade seal."
"Why do so many concubines try so hard to gain the Emperor's favor? It's because they can do whatever they want if they gain the Emperor's favor. Concubine Jing isn't even a noble consort, but she dares to challenge the Empress because she has the Emperor's favor. In the palace, everything is fake. As long as the Emperor's favor is real, it's real."
