Chapter 279: Don't Look Back
"Is it related to cousin Hengruo?" The prince turned his head to look at the Eighth Master beside him. Seeing that his brother's expression had not changed, he also had a hint of doubt. But after a moment, he seemed to think of something and directly shifted his gaze away from him.
The prince had some guesses in his mind, wondering what his eighth brother must have done!
Yinzhen glanced at his silent mynah bird, with a helpless look on his face, "Actually, this is mynah bird's own backyard matter, but..." Yinzhen looked embarrassed, then sighed, "It's like this..."
Yinzhen explained the matter in detail, without hiding anything, "After Yaoyao had breakfast today, she planned to check the little pager to see if there was any interesting news. Second brother, eighth brother, you also know that Yaoyao has only this little hobby besides eating, drinking and having fun."
The prince drummed his fingers on the table. Yinzhen looked at his second brother, the prince, and thought that he must have learned this from his father, the emperor!
He doesn't learn the good things, but keeps learning these things, which makes his heart beat fast!
"I know that my ninth brother's wife likes to listen to some...interesting things everywhere! It's also thanks to my ninth brother's wife, otherwise my eighth brother and I would not know about Nanny Walqi," the prince did not mention Hesheli Hengruo. Although he and Hesheli Hengruo are cousins, for the prince, his eighth brother is closer to him!
If Hengruo had done nothing and had suffered such injustice, the prince would have asked his eighth brother to give him and the Hesheli clan an explanation. However, Hengruo had really planned it, even planning it against his ninth brother and his wife!
Now the ninth brother and his wife used an open strategy in this matter. They directly put the matter of the eighth brother and Heng Ruo out in the open. What's worse, they eliminated all their hidden dangers and completely cleared themselves!
No one will say anything to my ninth brother or his wife, after all, it really has nothing to do with them!
"Second brother, eighth brother, I still have a lot of things to do here, so I, the tenth brother, will handle them alone. I am really worried, so I will leave first," Yinzhen stood up.
"You should go and handle it quickly. Tenth brother has never handled court affairs alone. I and eighth brother are here for this matter, so you can rest assured," the prince nodded.
"Ninth brother, take care. Thank you for telling me," Eighth Brother finally spoke when Yinzhen was about to leave.
Yinzhen just nodded slightly and left without stopping at all. After all, since he had nothing to do with this matter, he would be decisive and not know anything about the follow-up!
After Yinzhen left, the Eighth Master stood up and knelt in front of the Crown Prince, "Second Brother, this matter was caused by my younger brother who instructed the maid to drug Hengruo. After about fourteen days, she stopped drugging him. The maid has been dealt with by my younger brother."
"Hengruo plotted against you, your eighth brother's wife, your ninth brother and your ninth brother's wife. You didn't allow her to have children because of me and the Hesheli clan behind you. I naturally know this. Hengruo was wrong in this matter and she should bear the consequences. But your eighth brother, Hengruo could have been your legal wife. It was because you plotted against your ninth brother that the Emperor granted her in marriage to you to wake you up from your foolish ambition. Anyone can attack Hengruo, but your eighth brother, you shouldn't!" The prince looked at his eighth brother. If Hengruo was wrong, the prince would not say a word even if it was his eighth brother's wife or his ninth brother's wife!
It’s just your own fault!
But eighth brother, he was the one who shouldn't have attacked Hengruo!
"Second brother," the Eighth Master looked up at the Crown Prince, his hands clenched tightly. He wanted to try to express his thoughts and wanted to do what he wanted to do like his Ninth Brother!
Even if he made a mistake, he wanted to try to keep it to the end, rather than hiding it all the time, scheming everywhere like a rat in the dark!
Even if he would be full of calculations in the future after knowing this, at least he still has the demeanor of a prince, with his head held high!
"The Emperor gave Hengruo to me, not what I wanted. But if Hengruo wasn't so calculating, I could give her an heir. But she is too scheming. She tried to plot against Huishu and caused the relationship between you and Huishu to break down. I won't let Hengruo get pregnant, and it will be the same in the future. If second brother punishes me, I will accept it," the Eighth Master stared at the Crown Prince without dodging. This was the first time he showed his own thoughts like this!
Even if he was wrong, he would stick to it. Heng Ruowan should never plot against his and Huishu's feelings, and he would never allow it!
When their eyes met, the prince was somewhat surprised that his eighth brother would say such a thing, but after a moment the prince did not get angry. He stood up and walked to the Eighth Master and helped him up, "Stand up, we are brothers. If it is a matter of the court, I can punish you however I want, but this is a matter of your harem!"
The prince looked at his eighth brother with a slightly surprised expression, "You don't have to be surprised. I didn't intend to care from the beginning. What I said just now was just to remind you that cousin Heng Ruo is the one who schemed but is also your victim. There is no clear explanation between you and her. So, Aunt Walch, what are you going to do?"
The Eighth Master thought about Hesheli Hengruo. She had no feelings for him, and neither did he for her. They were too similar, both good at calculating. The Eighth Master knew that he would not be at ease about Hesheli Hengruo. For this reason, he did not want her to raise any children!
But he somewhat wanted her to raise the child. At this moment, Mr. Ba was very conflicted!
"As Auntie Hua Erqi said, I will make him disappear quietly without attracting anyone's attention, second brother," the Eighth Master looked at the Crown Prince, "no matter how Heng Ruo's health is in the future, I will not interfere. This is my promise to you, second brother."
"Okay, I trust you!" The prince patted the Eighth Master's shoulder. At least the Eighth Master would not plot against Heng Ruo again. As long as Heng Ruo was given a little breathing space, he believed that Heng Ruo would live well on his own!
This is all that his cousin can ask for her. It was also her before... It’s all your fault. There is a give and take. If you scheme against others, others will naturally scheme against you!
This is a very normal thing, just like between him and his elder brother, no one will blame anyone, after all, they are all calculating!
It’s just that some succeed and some fail!
The death of old Nanny Huaerqi really did not attract anyone's attention. Originally, Hesheli Hengruo did not know about it, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. After seeing her mother and asking the nanny beside her mother to take a look, Hesheli Hengruo had some guesses in her mind!
During their time together, Hesheli Hengruo learned that the maid was missing and the old nanny who used to give the maid money also died of illness. She had some guesses in her mind, but Hesheli Hengruo did nothing. Instead, she asked her mother not to worry about anything and let her handle it herself!
Her own approach is also very simple, just don't worry about anything!
In the night, Hesheli Hengruo sat weakly on the bed. She had miscarried early this morning and just woke up at noon. Eighth Master stayed with her tonight. Hesheli Hengruo looked at Eighth Master who was sitting beside her and shook her head slowly. "It's my fault. This child has suffered for the sins I have committed. I shouldn't have schemed against others. Eighth Master, don't be sad. From now on, I will pray for our child every day. Don't be my child in the next life. I am not a good mother."
