CEO Comes from Ancient Times - C196
What?!
This was called being strict? The corners of your clothes are hanging out, okay?
Huo Li’s face was filled with black lines and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. However, he had always doted on his little brother, so he didn’t blame him for his looks.
When his mother died, his royal brother was not even one year old and could not bear to see him lack too much motherly love. Huo Li had always been his mother, so he had patiently and patiently protected him.
Huo Li had been working hard at the palace all these years, dealing with the empress and other princes. Aside from not wanting to disappoint his father, that was to give him a better environment to live in and comfort his mother’s soul in heaven.
Huo Li walked towards him with a faint smile. His tone was extremely intoxicating and gentle as he spoke, “When did you come? “Why didn’t you come in? What are you trying to eavesdrop on?”
Quickly sweeping his gaze over Xiao Budian, the Crown Prince made a face at Huo Li: “Where are you eavesdropping at? I was just passing by and I just happened to hear a little.” “Royal brother, do you really think that Xi …”
“You don’t even know how to lie. Just now, who said that he was hiding outside? Who even said that he was hiding so closely?” Huo Li raised his sword-like eyebrows as he grinned evilly. He knew what the crown prince wanted to say next. He wanted to cut him off so that his ears wouldn’t hurt.
He scratched his head in embarrassment and understood what Huo Li was thinking. He gave up the discussion and looked at Huo Li with a crooked face, acting cute and laughing.
“When I was young, my royal brother loved to comb my hair, and said that I was a beautiful little princess when I wore my hair. Now that I have grown up, my royal brother doesn’t like to comb my hair, but he loves to grab my hair the most. No matter what I say or do, it’s all my fault. Is royal brother the one who bullied people? ”
You are a real husband, and now you’re the crown prince. You have to pay attention to your image in front of the people, and don’t let the officials see you like this. In the future, they will look down on you and not put you in their eyes.
Huo Li hoped that the crown prince was a woman. This way, he wouldn’t have to live a miserable life. He was worried that he wouldn’t be able to seize the throne, worried that the crown prince would be framed by others. It was good now that the disaster had been eliminated and the crown prince had been conferred the title of crown prince. When he ascended the throne in the future, he would become a high and mighty Son of Heaven.
However, when the crown prince heard those words, his face fell and was filled with displeasure, “What crown prince? I’ve never thought of being a crown prince. If it wasn’t for royal brother’s whereabouts, royal father wouldn’t have pushed me to this position. Who doesn’t know that royal father’s favorite candidate is royal brother? ”
Huo Li’s noble and peerless temperament became even more otherworldly under the sunlight. He smiled, “Don’t underestimate yourself. You must believe in royal father’s decision. If royal father can push you to this position, then you can definitely win …”
The Crown Prince interrupted him and spoke in a serious tone, “Royal brother, if you hadn’t come back, I would have insisted. Even if I didn’t like it, I would have made the Crown Prince and the Emperor the last, because that would have made you happy. “But brother, do you know that the powers behind supporting me as the crown prince were all the strength that you accumulated back then? Now that you’ve returned, they …”
“I know what you’re going to say, but it’s obviously impossible. You’re already the crown prince …”
“So what if I am the crown prince? There are so many cases of abolishing the crown prince in history, so what if you have more examples?” “Royal brother, I really don’t have the ability to rule a country. You are the only one who can …”
“Cripple the crown prince for no reason, royal father’s decision is not child’s play …”
“I can do the wrong thing, I can also ask royal father …”
“The Queen Mother is looking at you from the sky, and you have the heart to disappoint her?”
“If you are not in my position, mother will be disappointed. Royal brother, it is everyone’s wish for you to take over this position. ”
“Don’t say anymore. I can help you with anything else. I can’t agree to that.” If you become your crown prince, I will support you in supporting you, giving you advice and killing your enemies. “Rest assured, I will continue to teach you by your side until you no longer need me.”
“Royal brother …”
“I’ve been trying hard to recall my memories these past few days, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t remember what happened after I fell off the cliff. In half a year, many things have happened in the palace, so I must have my own story. Why did my hair get cut off? Why am I wearing all those clothes? In this half a year, where did I live and who did I live with? ”
The Crown Prince’s face darkened.
Huo Li continued, “I can’t pretend that these questions don’t exist, so I don’t want to be involved in matters of the court right now, and I don’t want to stand at the top and threaten everyone. I just want to be an idle prince and investigate these matters clearly. “Crown Prince, don’t force me. Give me some time to fulfill this wish of mine.”
The Crown Prince bit his lips tightly and his wise eyes were filled with pain, “Royal brother has never begged me. If you beg me once, how can I not agree? Alright, I’ll ask my royal brother to go and investigate. I’ll wait for him to return after he finishes his investigation. “Royal brother, please remember our agreement. The day when we find out the truth is the day you come back to take my place.”
“Too …”
The Crown Prince waved his hand to stop Huo Li from speaking. His expression was firm and his tone was firm. “Royal brother, I’ve already made concessions. Don’t force me, but …”
As he spoke, his tone changed. He seemed to be intentionally continuing, but he was still deep in thought just now, “But I feel that royal brother’s heart is empty because there isn’t a woman he truly loves by his side. “When you and the Xi Family’s young miss get married, your royal brother’s heart will be filled with vigor. When that happens, the Emperor …”
Xi Sanmo! It was Xi Sanmo again! How lingering must her name be?
Huo Li’s previously gentle face slipped into winter with Xi Sanmo’s name. His face was as cold as frost as he shouted harshly, “Even if all the women in this world had died, I still wouldn’t fall in love with her. She doesn’t have the ability to make my heart full.”
The crown prince pouted unhappily, “Why does royal brother hate her so much? Even the Empress’s royal brother had never hated him so much? “Royal brother, do you know how fierce and frightening you look right now?”
Huo Li didn’t care how much of an underworld king he looked. He only knew that the hatred he felt for no reason filled his entire chest again. He couldn’t control himself, “Don’t be fooled by her appearance. Back then, if it wasn’t for the empress forcing me to do so, royal father would not have betrothed me to her, and he would not have tied me together with her either. Her appearance was premeditated and planned with the empress. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? Xiao Budian, you’re not going to check it yet. ”
“Yes sir!” Xiao Budian snapped back to reality.
The crown prince hurriedly stopped Xiao Budian and said ten wrong words in one breath: “Wrong wrong wrong …” Royal brother, you are wrong. You have changed. “No matter how vicious you were in the past, you would never say anything that would hurt anyone, much less judge their character. You are too vicious to judge the Xi Family’s young miss like this!”
“I’m malicious, and the empress is malicious. Without the empress, the empress won’t die, and neither will you …”
“Yes, mother was killed by the empress, because royal father had found evidence, and the evidence was sufficient enough to prove that she had done such a despicable thing. But Miss Xi, what proof do you have that she belongs to the empress? And what proof is there that her appearance was arranged by the empress? ”
“There’s still no need for evidence. If you don’t take a look, it’s already ironclad evidence as solid as a mountain …”
“Wrong, wrong, royal brother, you are wrong, very wrong. Miss Xi was not that kind of person. With just a glance, he could tell that she and the empress were not on the same side. Servant: You can’t doubt that without him, there would be no father today, no peace and prosperity today. Also, royal father didn’t choose marriage for you because he was forced by the empress, but was sincerely choosing a woman for you, a woman who can live together with you for the rest of his life. ”
Huo Li’s mind was clouded by the hatred in his heart. He couldn’t hear the crown prince’s words at all, and was only controlled by the hatred in his heart. How could she be worthy of being with me? “I don’t care about it, and I don’t believe it …”
“Even if you don’t believe me, you still have to believe me, because that’s what I heard with my own ears. I saw it with my own eyes.” The Crown Prince panicked and told her the story.
The Crown Prince and Xi Sanmo were born in the same year. Not long after he was born, his mother passed away, so the Emperor was especially fond of him.
At noon one day when he was five years old, due to the changing of seasons in spring and summer, he faintly felt uncomfortable, so he fell asleep with the book on his back. After sleeping for who knows how long, he heard the voices of his royal father and the servants.
“This mouth of mine has been spoiled by you. I can’t swallow anything that someone else has cooked.” “The Fifth Prince is just like me, a person who talks too arrogantly. Therefore, I’m worried that he won’t be able to live after he grows up!”
“This humble subject doesn’t understand the emperor’s meaning.”
“I know you have a daughter who is as precious as the pearl in your palm. Although we have many princes, the Fifth Prince is also one of the princes that I’m most proud of. Using your precious daughter to accompany my precious son, don’t you think that this is the best match in the world? ”
The Crown Prince said, “At that time, the servants never thought that my father would say such things. They were so frightened that they quickly kneeled on the ground. After being coaxed by royal father for a long time, he finally understood that this was royal father’s initial intention to betroth marriage. Thus, he hurriedly expressed his intentions, saying that after he returned home, he would definitely let Miss Xi know how to cook, so that he could take good care of you in the future. ”
Huo Li hadn’t thought that there would be such a play. It was only later on that Xi Sanmo found out why she could easily cook the food Huo Li liked in G City. It turned out that she had already gone through strict training in the imperial court.
The Crown Prince saw that Huo Li’s face was still dark and decided not to look at him. He looked at the osmanthus tree and said, “I saw and heard it with my own eyes. How could there be any mistakes?”
“When I was nine years old, royal father said that he met Miss Xi by chance. Actually, it was not, but he and the waiter discussed it and had the waiter intentionally bring her out of the palace. Afterwards, he arranged a marriage and lied to the empress’s eyes, so that the empress wouldn’t harm her.”
“So your arranged marriage has nothing to do with the empress, much less the fact that the young miss of the Xi Family is not one of the empress’s people.” Royal brother, from the looks of it, the young miss of the Xi Family is as pure as ice and pure as jade. She did not disguise herself, and she did not even try to deceive her royal brother. ”
“My royal brother, do you know that the reason why royal father pointed her out to you is because she is very much like Imperial Mother? She is pure and quiet, able to cleanse the mind and ease the fatigue in the heart. “So royal brother, please stop hating Miss Xi, and stop being blinded by hatred. If you look at her with your heart, you will find that she is truly a woman who can accompany you until her hair turns white.”
The crown prince tried to persuade him, but Huo Li couldn’t hear any emotions or sincerity from his words. He was so annoyed that he felt like his heart was about to explode.
“royal father likes her, let royal father marry her. If you like her, then ask royal father to reward her to you. I don’t care who she follows anyway, just don’t follow me. ”
After he finished speaking, he fiercely rushed out of Xuanyu Hall and disappeared in the blink of an eye. His angry roars came from far away in the air: “You are not allowed to follow this duke, no one is allowed to follow this duke, whoever follows this duke will be killed by this duke and this duke will not show mercy …”
