The Curious Play

where Tàizǐ diànxià instructed them to wait for him.

The three of them were sitting quitely, no one dares to make even a slightest move, they were totally in a pen drop silence.

But deep inside they were all anxious, surely the three of them were in a big trouble. 

Who would have known that the brat they"d incounter is actually the princess envoy from the southern kingdom. Plus the failed mission that was a.s.signed to them.

Because of this idiot! Ye thought angrily.

As she really wanted to beat the h.e.l.l of this good for nothing prince.

What worse it that, the owner of the house filed a complaint against them, they had been accused for wrecking that darn house!

They all jerked when they heard someone discreetly cough. They all looked to the owner of it with their floppy eyes but sadly he ignored it.

"I want you all to explained, what the h.e.l.l just happened?"

Tàizǐ diànxià"s voice was dangerously calm, he"s frowning as if he was controlling his anger.

"Its her fault!" 

Xiao Yu begun to point his finger to Ye"er Gōngzhǔ. 

Ye"ers eyes widened in shocked as she was grinding her teeth in anger.

"How was that my fault? You clearly brought the wrong map. .

"Its not the wrong one!" Yu diànxià"s snap defensively. "Its just that. .

"That what?" 

She felt like her nose smoked with anger as he wanted to swallowed prince Yu alive.

Yu scratched his head, somehow it was his fault but there"s no way he"s going to admit it in front of his brother.

How dare this idiot sold me out? Ye"er thought angrily. 

Its better to pinned the blame on his Sister in law for sure Tàizǐ wont punished her seriously but for him,Tàizǐ will surely going to kill him. .who think Im stupid? Yu secretly laughed in his thought.

"Gē. .

"You shut up!" 

Tàizǐ yelled that make the three of them jerked. Both of his hands was crossed in his chest and he was frowning.

Yu and Ye"er seems like a child fighting over one sweet!

"What about the house, how the heck it just wrecked like that?!"

"I don"t know.!" 

Ye"er said lowering her voice. Thinking about it now, there must be something off with it. .if she did not quickly sense the danger and safely come out she"s good as dead by now!

"I think someone had deliberately set those accident to hurt you. .

Yu diànxià said looking at his brother but suddenly took a glanced towards Ye"er when he realized something.

"It was intended for you but. .oh my!"

Only now did Yu diànxià realized the danger he had brought to Ye Gōngzhu,

and someone actually switch the map to insure that only one will get inside and pinned all the blame to the one outside.!

given eight prince character if something had really happened he was the one to be blamed for it.

Yu diànxià was struck in horror.

"It"s good that you understood the situation, however how could you be so careless?"

"The information we received was correct! Someone told us that there was an abandoned house in that side.!"

"Did you asked that man?!"

"No. .he approach us. .

This time Yu diànxià and Ye Gōngzhǔ look at each other. 

"That scoundrel!" 

She said clenching her hands. 

"He"d better hide properly so I couldn"t tear him to pieces!" 

She said furiously, gritting her teeth.

Tàizǐ"s eye brow raised and he then took a sighed. He wasn"t angry of what they have done, what he was angry about was the fact that Ye almost got killed in that accident. 

"What about the ruckus you guys made in the street? Plus the scene you had with our very important guest?"

He said emphasizing the word "Important guest"

"That I don"t know!" 

She said apologetically, while pulling her sleeves to hide her wound. She even forget about it.

"But I don"t really knew she"s a princess beside she rather looked like a spy!" 

Tàizǐ smiled at her comment. 

"She wasn"t a spy and as Yu said everything had been set up by someone and one more thing she"s here for marriage alliance. .

"Marriage alliance. ?" 

Ye, Xin"er and Yu exclaimed in chorus.

"That. !" 

He paused that make the three of them looked anxious. 

"That. .I don"t know tomorrow Fù"huáng will going to held a banquet to personally welcome her together with the rest of her envoys. .

"And?" 

Yu diànxià snap impatiently, he suddenly had a bad feelings for this while Ye"er fell into silence listening to them.

"All the princes has to be in the banquet for the selection. .she will personally choose a prince to be her Crown pince consort!*"

"Crown prince consort?"

"Her position is equal to mine as their kingdom is dominated with women!"

"So it means you will be excluded with the selection.?"

Yu diànxià asked while taking a glance to Ye"er and Xin"er.

Tàizǐ diànxià paused, uncertain whether his going to spill the bean or just let it be. they will know sooner or later,anyway! he though.

"That"s defend on how they"re going to manipulate her.!" 

What he meant is the people behind Ah"nuh 

Gōngzhǔ"s back. Though she"s an heir apparent but still their competion in the throne were still fierce.

"Don"t worry about me. .you should worry about yourself!" 

Tàizǐ said, running a glance towards Xin"er. He did not see any expression in her face, it was totally blank! But he clearly knew the more the paper is empty there"s plenty to write afterwards.

"I won"t show up tomorrow. .send me somewhere!"

"Hǎo. .are you sure?"

Tàizǐ snap immediately. Yu diànxià look at him uncertain,there was a trace of regret in his face.

What if this unruly brother of him will actually send him in the boarder and guard there forever. !

but atleast he would still have a chance to come and visit Xin"er, if that brat would choose him then its the end. .

Given that brat status, if he"s the unlucky one then a chance of having concubine is impossible! But he doesn"t want Xin"er to be just his mere concubine. 

He wants her as his only one! if Tàizǐ choose only one for him knowing his status as a Crown Prince, then why can"t he? When he"s as poor as a rat!

He suddenly took a glance to Xin"er who absentmindedly glanced at him. .her eyes is like asking him if what he"s going to do?

"Yes.!" 

He absentmindedly say yes. .with out leaving his gazed with Xin"er.

Ye"er Gōngzhǔ suddenly jerked and shook her head. What an idiot?! she thought.

"Hǎo. .Im going to give the three of you a very important tasked!" 

"You"re not going to send me in the boarder?" 

Yu diànxià jumped excitedly. 

"h.e.l.l. .no!"

Tàizǐ squeezed Yu"s hair while laughing.

"I can"t afford to send you besides someone might jinks me to death if I do that!" 

He clearly meant something. .Xin"er automatically blushed.

He never seen his brother become serious with everything because he was known for being an immature prince. . However the way he treat and looked on that particular someone is quiet different.

He always take that someone"s matter into consideration. .and as an older brother he doesn"t have a heart to be a hindrance to both of them.

and as for Ye"er he has to make her busy for awhile so he could concentrate on dealing with the upcoming problem that someone had prepared for him.

Ah"nuh Gōngzhǔ"s visit is rather important not only for his position as an heir but for his future with Ye"er.

What if that brat will be taken by influenced or pressure and give up her position in exchanged of being his Crown princess consort,instead? 

That surely be quite a headache for him, because his Majesty will also force to abide for the kingdom"s sake!

"This tasked is rather difficult but your safety had to be a priority!"

This was the only time Ye"er Gōngzhǔ looked at him straight into his eyes.

"You want us to protect her?"

He smiled, Ye"er clearly knew what he was thinking.

"Exactly! She is our trump card in this game. .whoever wants to dethrone me had already made their moves, were just going to used their own bait against them!"

"What are we going to do,then?!" 

Yu diànxià frowned.

"Keep her safe!" 

"What?!"

Yu exclaimed in shocked.
