The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 452: Deep Feelings

Prince Ning Bei was furious, but Zhao Xuzhi’s heart turned cold.

He had been beaten up so badly by a man, yet his father only cared about that insignificant matter?

When his brother was sick, his father stayed in the courtyard, taking care of him where he did not even have time to change his clothes. Now that it was his turn, he was so cold and indifferent, just because he was a b*stard?!

Zhao Xuzhi’s face was gloomy. However, at that moment, it was masked by his face that was full of wounds.

“Father, I only want to be on good terms with Xie Pinggang. I don’t have any other intentions. I have never thought of using Xie Pinggang to butter up the Crown Prince!” Zhao Xuzhi still expressed his stance.

“I do believe that you don’t want to butter up the Crown Prince. After all…” Prince Ning Bei looked at him deeply, “You’ve been arrogant since you were a child. How could you be willing to lower yourself when compared to the Crown Prince? But it’s a fact that the Xie family is on good terms with the Crown Prince. What exactly are you trying to do by provoking the Xie family for no reason?”

Zhao Xuzhi’s heart trembled when he heard those words.

“Xie Pinggang is quite talented. Can’t I have a close relationship with him for a long time?” Zhao Xuzhi continued to speak stubbornly.

A mocking smile appeared on Prince Ning Bei’s old face.

“In the capital, the people who want to be on good terms with the Xie family… go out and ask. How many families can there be? That Xie Pinggang has a fierce reputation and is fearless of anything. As for you, you have always been reserved and steady. Why would you praise him so much?” Prince Ning Bei asked.

Zhao Xuzhi was silent for a moment.

“I won’t say whether your feelings for Xie Pinggang are real or fake. Giving young ladies away isn’t what I, a Prince, would do! Are you insulting others or yourself? What more, that person Xie Pinggang, sent these two beauties to the Crown Prince. What do you think the Crown Prince would say?!”

“The Crown Prince?!” Zhao Xuzhi was startled.

The two young ladies he sent, they went to the Crown Prince?

If so, was today’s capture of the fugitive true or…

Zhao Xuzhi clenched his fists.

When he thought of the Crown Prince’s attitude toward him, he realized he had been fooled.

The Crown Prince was cold and aloof. When had he ever been so friendly? Moreover, he had always been ruthless. If he had really delayed the Crown Prince from catching the fugitive today, why would the Crown Prince raise him up so high and put him down so gently?

When he thought of that, Zhao Xuzhi could not help but laugh at himself.

He did not understand why the Crown Prince would be so furious and humiliate him when they were just two young ladies!

If his actions were taken as a sign of good will, he should have treated him with courtesy. However, the Crown Prince had actually allowed Xie Pinggang to beat him up!

That Xie Pinggang looked like an idiot at first glance. It seemed like he did not know what was going on at all.

Xie Pinggang felt terrible when the Crown Prince acted like that. Naturally, he could not befriend Xie Pinggang now.

Was the Crown Prince trying to get rid of him and stay far away from the Crown Prince’s men?

Zhao Xuzhi kept scheming in his heart.

Meanwhile, Prince Ning Bei looked at Zhao Xuzhi with even more disappointment.

“Xuzhi, you imitate the Crown Prince all the time just to make the Emperor happy and look up to you. However, the Crown Prince’s nature is strong. If you continue to cause trouble, I can only send you back to your fiefdom so that you won’t implicate my residence!” Prince Ning Bei added.

Zhao Xuzhi held back his anger.

Was his father worried that he would implicate the residence or his second brother?!

“Father, I… did not deliberately provoke the Crown Prince. It’s r-really…” Zhao Xuzhi knelt on the ground and grabbed the blanket on the ground with both hands. He gritted his teeth, in the end, he said, “I met the Xie family’s eldest daughter once by chance. She’s extremely beautiful and elegant. I… have deep feelings for her. I also heard that Xie Pinggang of the Xie family is in charge. That’s why… I sent him the young ladies.”
