407 You Can’t Do This
“Mother, some things are not as simple as you think. I’ve received news that Prince De has gone to the outskirts to hide from Qian Jiyun.”
Prince Sui reminded Consort Wen that he only wanted to live well without thinking about or desiring anything else.
“Weren’t you wondering why Prince De hasn’t gone to the southern border? An aide from the Prince De Residence sent news that he didn’t dare go to the southern border because he was afraid of Qian Jiyun, Prince Zhan Yun.
“Qian Jiyun’s name alone is enough to make everyone avoid him. There’s no benefit in going against a person like this, Mother.”
Consort Wen gritted her teeth and said, “I don’t understand. How strong is Qian Jiyun? He’s only relying on half of the southern border, right?”
She only knew that many people in the capital, including the Emperor and Empress, opposed Qian Jiyun. Although they did not express it openly, they had been secretly fighting him to the death.
They had always secretly backed Xue Yingyue against Qian Jiyun.
However, Qian Jiyun was hard to defeat. Besides, they did not intend to kill him. They were most likely after something from him. She couldn’t think of any other reason.
Prince Sui chuckled.
Even if he was a fool, he knew that Qian Jiyun controlled more than half of the southern border.
Otherwise, why would his father appoint Qian Jiyun as Prince Zhan Yun back then? There had to be other forces behind Qian Jiyun, but they were simply unaware.
His father probably only knew a little about it, so he could not bear to kill Qian Jiyun.
“I’ve already sent someone to prepare a gift. We’ll go to the Prince Zhan Yun Residence later to apologize to Miss An.”
“What?” Consort Wen was shocked and shook her head immediately. “No, no! Sui’er, you can’t do this.”
Her son was the dignified Prince Sui. Even if the Emperor did not dote on him, he was still his biological son. How could he apologize to a woman brought back by a prince of the second rank?
“Sui’er, listen to me. You can’t go to the Prince Zhan Yun Residence. Your father will definitely not let you off if you do.”
The old Emperor cared about his reputation the most. If he found out that his son had gone to Qian Jiyun’s residence to apologize to a woman, they would have no way out in the future.
“Your father already has a strained relationship with Qian Jiyun. If you continue to have anything to do with Qian Jiyun’s woman, it will be a slap in your father’s face. How will I return to the palace in the future?”
Prince Sui was speechless.
He did not know if his arms would hurt again tomorrow, but his mother was still thinking about how to return to the palace.
“Mother, it would be a slap in Father’s face if you can’t return to the palace!”
“What… do you mean?” Consort Wen did not understand.
Prince Sui reminded her, “You can only return to the palace if my arm is fine. If my arm continues to hurt, Father will have even more reason to make you stay in my residence and prohibit you from returning!”
Only An Jiuyue from Qian Jiyun’s residence could treat the pain in his arm.
If he did not go, his mother would never be able to return to the palace.
“Sui’er, are you saying that your arm hasn’t recovered yet?”
Consort Wen understood. It seemed like she had underestimated the woman who brought Qian Jiyun back.
“What do you think, Mother?” Prince Sui retorted.
