Chapter 153: Waiting for you is the only matter
"Reporting to master, His Highness Prince Ying has already been released." The black clothed person respectfully bent at the waist while making his report. And standing in front of him was the sickly Third Prince Xiao Hou who held some fish food, feeding the goldfishes in the pond.
Xiao Hou wore snow white embroidered princely robes, clearly it was early autumn, but he still had on a cloak over his clothing. This made him look even more pale, if Chu Qing-Yan was to see this, she would certainly think he was a sickly beauty. He had a beauty that would captivate the birds and beasts.
Hearing the subordinate's report, Xiao Hou smiled as if it was expected. "After you failed to a.s.sa.s.sinate Fourth Prince, I already guessed this would be the case."
"Yes, this subordinate is guilty of dereliction of duty, unable to complete the mission." The black clothed person kneeled on the ground, blaming himself.
Xiao Hou lifted his hand. "You already received your punishment, but accidentally it let First older royal brother lose his trust in Father Emperor. The gap between First Older Royal brother and Fourth younger royal brother, the gap between Concubine Yue and the Empress will also become wider and wider. I will be glad to see it happen!"
The black clothed person nodded and asked. "Then master, His Majesty dispatched First Prince to Fu Li mountain range to scout out a mine, do we need to make a move?"
Xiao Hou heard this and said with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Fu Li mountain range this delegation, you really think it's to scout out a mine? It's just one of Father Emperor's stratagems and nothing more. Sometimes, I also very much sympathize with First Older Royal Brother."
Father Emperor treats him, Xiao Hou with complete indifference.
But with First Older Royal brother, he presses in step by step.
