Chapter 225 Heart to heart?
That night.
The eldest prince Qin Mingyu sat on the stone steps of the rear hall of Lanlin Palace with his head raised, supporting himself with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the starry sky, his fingertips lightly tapping the ground. He saw someone coming out of the corner of his eye and immediately stopped moving his hands.
"Your Highness, what are you thinking about that keeps you awake so late at night?" Sui Wan sat down beside him quietly and asked quietly.
Qin Mingyu just glanced at her and turned away without answering.
Sui Wan didn't hesitate to put his arm around Qin Mingyu's shoulders and said, "Your Highness, are you thinking about the brother or sister in the beauty's belly?"
Qin Mingyu pulled away Sui Wan's hand that was on his shoulder, frowned, and said angrily in a low voice: "How dare you! Get out of here!"
"Your Highness, I am worried about you. Didn't the beauty talk to you about it that night? If you have any other troubles, why not tell me?"
Sui Wan sighed, moved away reluctantly, and knelt down three stone steps away from the eldest prince, looking up at the still young eldest prince Qin Mingyu.
"Shut up, noisy."
"Yes, yes, I am sorry for being noisy. Your Highness the Crown Prince has grown up and has his own ideas. Naturally, he does not need my words. It is thanks to me that I always speak well of you in front of the beauty, praising you for being sensible, polite, filial and reasonable..." Sui Wan held her heart in her hands and sighed.
Qin Mingyu looked directly at Sui Wan and said, "Aunt Sui Wan, I have no dissatisfaction with you, but if you want to control me, you can just give up. Although I have lost my mother, I am still a prince."
"Your Highness, why do you say that?" Sui Wan was stunned for a moment, his eyes seemed a little confused, "Did anyone tell you something?"
"My mother told me that I worry too much and asked me to think more about it." Qin Mingyu said with a smile, but a piercing chill seemed to run through his spine, making him shiver.
"What?" Sui Wan's eyes widened.
"I only care about you, Your Highness, so how could I have any other thoughts?
It's fine if Qing Zhang is just imagining things because she's pregnant, but why is she talking nonsense to you? I am loyal to you and Lady Shi, please trust me."
Sui Wan's heart was filled with rage. She clenched her fists and trembled with anger, but she did not forget to kowtow to show her loyalty.
Qin Mingyu stood up, raised his hands to help Sui Wan up, and said softly:
"If I didn't believe Aunt Sui Wan, I wouldn't have told her these words tonight. I do believe in her.
It’s just that - Mother has started to feel resentful towards you, Aunt. You and Mother have had a deep friendship since childhood, and I cannot bear to see you and Mother drift apart. "
"I...I thank Your Highness for your trust." Sui Wan's voice was choked with sobs.
"I will try my best to mend my relationship with the beauty and regain her trust. As for you, Your Highness, I may have been a little careless. Please don't blame me."
"How could that be? As far as I can remember, Aunt Suiwan has been the one who has taken care of me. Although there is a difference in status, in my heart, Aunt Suiwan is like my mother and sister."
“To be honest, Your Highness is my younger brother in my heart.
I used to have a younger brother. He had a pair of moles on his neck that were similar to yours. When I was young, before I entered the palace, he fell into the water and died. I was so sad that I cried secretly in my bed every night. My mother was pregnant at the time, and later she gave birth to several younger brothers for me. It seemed that everyone in the family had forgotten him except me, the eldest sister.
Sui Wan wiped her tears silently with her hands. She didn't hear the eldest prince's voice. She took a deep breath and said, "Is it unlucky for me to say this?"
Qin Mingyu shook his head. He patted Sui Wan's arm as if to comfort her silently, and said, "Go back. I should go to bed too. I still have to study tomorrow. You too, should have a good rest."
"By the way, don't take what I told you today to heart, and don't confront Mother with the secrets I revealed to you. If you have a falling out with Mother, you will be the only one who suffers. And I also love Mother, so you should be less angry with her and more obedient to her."
"I know this, Your Highness, don't worry."
