Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 454 Don’t Pick Up 11

The Princess's Palace.

"Chengyao, have you brought the things I wanted?" Xie Si'an leaned on the glass couch, his eyes a little gloomy.

The man he called Cheng Yao had extremely cold and pale skin, and he exuded an air of illness and depression. His face was clear, but his black eyes were somewhat cold.

Xie Chengyao took out a red sandalwood box, "Xie Si'an, this is Xie Siwei's relic."

He took out a human-shaped wooden sculpture, whose face was somewhat similar to the woman in front of him. "I brought this from North Vietnam."

Xie Chengyao paused for a moment, "It's also his relic."

Xie Sian took the rosewood box, opened it and saw a handful of black ash mixed with some white residue inside.

Those are Xie Siwei's ashes.

Xie Si'an lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see the emotions in them, "Thank you very much."

She already knew that the man in front of her was not the prince, nor her brother.

The emperor and the third and fourth brothers had never noticed anything unusual, but she was the only one who knew her brother had changed his mind the moment she saw Xie Chengyao.

Although Xie Chengyao performed very well, his sickly temperament and some of Xie Siwei's little habits were all portrayed exactly the same.

But Xie Sian still knew that he was not him, not her twin brother.

How can the bond of blood be severed so easily?

The sense of being twins was lost when Xie Siwei died.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for taking care of Siwei over the years."

Xie Siwei was born weak and was once predicted by the imperial physician to not live past the age of twenty. But in North Vietnam, he not only lived to the age of twenty-one, but also had a rosy complexion when he returned.

Xie Si'an originally thought that his brother would live peacefully like this until he ascended the throne.

But he died.

Xie Sian held the wood carving with a blank look in his eyes, as if he was recalling bits and pieces from past letters.

"If your Highness has nothing else to do, I will go to see the Princess."

"Don't worry, elder sister. Just play with this prince." Xie Wenzhi fanned himself with a folding fan. His hair fluttered in front of his forehead, making him look like a handsome young man.

"What does Your Highness want to do?" Su Lingruo just raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Xie Wenzhi, her tone still calm, without any panic.

"This prince is curious, how did you save the Emperor's teacher's first wife at Yashan?"

His good third brother Xie Hengzhi was also rescued by Su's daughter. How could it be such a coincidence?

There was a glimmer of danger in Xie Wenzhi's eyes. This group of people were trying to ruin his plans.

That damn old man didn't support him, and even criticized him implicitly, asking Xie Wenzhi to keep himself clean and not indulge in women.

How could Fu Meng support his third brother more than him?

Besides, a young man should be romantic when he is young. That damn old man didn't sleep with his wife. What's wrong with him having many wives and concubines?

So when Xie Wenzhi sent people to assassinate Xie Hengzhi in Huaizhou, he also went to Lin's wife and, with a little instigation, made the group of idiots in Lin Hua's family confused and unable to tell the directions. They actually sent the daughter of Lin's younger brother to go to the capital instead of Lin Hua.

Regardless of Lin Hua who was still in the mountains.

Xie Wenzhi had been waiting for the news of Lin Hua and Xie Hengzhi's death, but in the end both of them came back alive. How could he not be angry?

"Your Highness." Su Lingruo ignored Xie Wenzhi's dangerous gaze and said, "I heard that the Third Prince has also returned to the capital. Your Highness and the Third Prince are very friendly and respectful. Have you gone to see the Third Prince?"

She deliberately emphasized the tone of the words "brotherly love and respect for each other".

The smile on Xie Wenzhi's face froze, "Are you threatening this prince?"

"My daughter dare not."

"Don't think that you are the adopted daughter of the Imperial Master. This prince wants to crush you to death, and the Imperial Master can't protect you."

"But your majesty can protect me." Su Lingruo lowered her voice, "Xie Wenzhi, do you really think there is no evidence for what you did?"

No matter how clean the means are, some traces will inevitably be left.

"Are you the third brother's man?" Xie Wenzhi tightly grasped his folding fan, his eyes revealing murderous intent.

"Not yet, but if Your Highness continues to be rude to me..." Su Lingruo chuckled, "I think the Third Prince would also like to have another ally."

She and the Third Prince were enemies, and since she killed him, they naturally couldn't be allies.

But it's enough to scare Xie Wenzhi.

Su Lingruo still needs Xie Wenzhi to restrain Xie Hengzhi for the time being, otherwise if she directly hands the evidence to the emperor, Xie Wenzhi will be out.

It was a great bargain for Xie Hengzhi.

"Fourth brother, you are being rude to our guests."

The person who came was wearing a green long skirt, with delicate features, black hair pinned with only a hairpin, and her eyebrows were arrogant and sharp.

Following her was a pale-faced man with delicate features, yet a somewhat sickly and delicate look, like a broken yet still bright waning moon in the sky.

"Eldest sister, second brother." Xie Wenzhi called out reluctantly.

He retracted his fan, intending to be rude to Su Lingruo.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess."

"Let's go, let's go to my palace and have a chat." Xie Si'an glanced at Xie Wenzhi calmly, "Fourth brother, third brother has returned to the capital."

Xie Wenzhi's heart skipped a beat, wondering if his elder sister knew something, but he didn't show it on his face.

Xie Chengyao coughed lightly, and his pale face became more rosy because of this action. "I heard that my third brother went to Huaizhou and couldn't remember most things, but he seemed to remember my fourth brother recently."

His thin lips curled up slightly, "I think the third brother and fourth brother have a very close relationship. Hengzhi remembered you even though he lost his memory. The imperial physician said that it would take at least a year or even several years to recover from this amnesia. But Hengzhi has only been back for a few days and he has already remembered all of fourth brother's past."

Xie Wenzhi's face turned pale. He naturally knew that Xie Wenzhi had lost some of his memories, otherwise, with his personality, he would never bring a woman to Beijing casually.

Originally, Xie Wenzhi was thinking of taking advantage of Xie Hengzhi's illness to kill Xie Hengzhi, but he suddenly remembered it!

Even Xie Chengyao, who told him the truth, was hated by him.

But my second brother won’t live much longer, so there’s no need to do anything anymore.

Previously, he and Xie Hengzhi teamed up to eliminate the second prince. They thought they would receive the news of Xie Chengyao's death, but he turned out to be back alive, and caused them both to suffer a major setback.

It's not that he hadn't thought about taking action again, but no matter how he and Xie Hengzhi joined forces, they never succeeded. Instead, they suffered a lot of losses.

The forces under his command were either dead or injured, but no evidence could be found.

Gradually, Xie Hengzhi and Xie Wenzhi gave up on dealing with the second prince. Judging from the prince's frequent illnesses, he would not live long.

He will not live for more than a few years anyway, and the emperor doesn't like this prince either. All he needs to do is wait a few more years until Xie Chengyao dies, and then the position will be vacated.

After figuring out this key point, Xie Hengzhi and Xie Wenzhi began to deal with each other. After all, now, they are the biggest competitors for the throne.

Xie Wenzhi took the folding fan and had no more trouble to look for Su Lingruo, so he hurriedly said goodbye and prepared to return home to find his staff to continue the conspiracy.

Su Lingruo also followed the eldest princess Xie Si'an into the palace.
