414: What Was Your Intentions

What Was Your Intentions

The princess' originally worried expression instantly turned cold.1

Prince Ning Bei was the same. With a sullen expression, he said, "Let him in." 

It was the eldest son of Prince Ning Bei, Zhao Xuzhi.

He was born a decent man, and he was extremely handsome.

As the Prince was old, he had never taken a wife. In order to avoid attracting too much attention, the royal family's descendants often got married late. Now, Zhao Xuzhi was already 18 or 19 years old, but he did not have a wife.

Zhao Xuzhi received permission to enter his younger brother's courtyard.

He wore a black robe and his phoenix-like eyes were alluring. He looked somewhat similar to the Crown Prince, but he looked gentle and reserved. He did not look like the Crown Prince. He was cold but he looked rather charismatic.

Prince Ning Bei looked at his outstanding son and had a very complicated feeling.

After all, he was his son. It was naturally impossible for him to not have the slightest bit of love. However, a b*stard son was a b*stard son. It was absolutely impossible for him to surpass the son of the wife.

Back then, he did not have a wife. Although he was prepared to ask the eldest son to be the Crown Prince, he wanted to wait for his destiny to come.

However, he did not expect that he could give birth to another son.

"Greetings, Father and Mother," Zhao Xuzhi was very respectful.

Prince Ning Bei did not look too good. He did not ask him to get up. Instead, he said, "Yuzhi's illness has improved. The doctor said that as long as he takes good care of himself, he might be able to return to how he was in the past in two to three months." 

"Really? That's great! Second Brother has been lying in bed for the past few days and he has suffered a lot. As a big brother, my heart is aching and I couldn't sleep or eat well," Zhao Xuzhi's face immediately revealed a look of surprise.

Prince Ning Bei had been observing his reaction.

At that moment, seeing that his surprise did not seem to be fake, his expression became a little better.

"Today, I found a few masters and found the thing that harmed your brother. That thing has been taken away by the masters, but I heard that it was a gift from you..." 

As soon as Prince Ning Bei finished speaking, Zhao Xuzhi looked at him in shock and muttered, "I-I gave it to him? B-But everything that I gave him was e-examined by the imperial doctors?" 

"It wasn't poison, but there was something dirty in it," Prince Ning Bei did not say much and only said, "Do you still remember that golden top? Where did you get it? Why did you give it to Yuzhi? What... intention did you have?!" 

At the end of his sentence, Prince Ning Bei looked a little cold and heartless.

Zhao Xuzhi's heart instantly turned cold.

"Golden top..." Zhao Xuzhi muttered and immediately prostrated on the ground, "I should be given a death sentence! On the way here, I saw that Second Brother was always unhappy and felt that the journey was boring, so I wanted to find something fun for him. At that time, I happened to pass by a small city and there was a pawn shop. I went in to take a look and immediately fell in love with the golden top. After I brought it back, I casually said that he picked it up on the way back. Second Brother also said that I was lucky. The two of us even went to the forest to take a stroll and played a game of finding treasures...

"I really didn't know that there was something wrong with the golden top!" Zhao Xuzhi lowered his head.

His entire body was trembling, and he looked both scared and pitiful.

Her own son looked so humble and timid, making Prince Ning Bei feel a little uncomfortable.

Princess snorted coldly, "I've already told you all that anything given to the Young Heir has to go through me. Why didn't you listen?!" 

"I've already told Second Brother... I t-thought that Mother already knew..." Zhao Xuzhi's voice was trembling, and it seemed like he was still crying.
