In the dark of the night, only the lanterns cast a faint glow.
Xiao Ming looked at the Third Prince’s face, which appeared hazy and unclear in the candlelight. A sense of displeasure rose within him, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Third Brother, what do you mean by that?”
“No special meaning, I just wanted to tell you, this is Chang’an. Some people aren’t fit to be here,” the Third Prince said, still smiling.
Xiao Ming’s expression turned cold. He understood that his presence in Chang’an had clearly displeased the royal princes who viewed Chang’an as their territory.
With a calm glance at Xiao Zhen, Xiao Ming replied, “Thank you for the warning, Third Brother. But this is the Great Yu Empire, and Chang’an is Father Emperor’s domain. Whether I stay here or not is for Father Emperor to decide. Others have no right to say otherwise.”
The smile on the Third Prince’s face slowly froze. Xiao Ming’s words struck a nerve.
The scene at the family banquet, where Xiao Wenxuan treated Xiao Ming as an equal, was still vivid in his mind. Now, in Xiao Wenxuan’s eyes, Xiao Ming’s status was on par with theirs.
“Hmph!” The Third Prince coldly said, “Seventh Brother, your achievements are remarkable, and I have no objections to that. But just because I accept it doesn’t mean everyone else will. I’ll stop here, you can figure it out yourself.”
With that, the Third Prince dropped the curtain and his carriage gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Xiao Ming stared at the departing carriage, his brows furrowing. He didn’t fully understand why Xiao Zhen had chosen to act in such a way.
