“Then bring her here. I will take her back to my residence. Before that, she mentioned to me that she wanted to go see grandfather and the rest, I wonder if she still wants to see them now or not.” Xiao Qi Tian said thoughtfully. He tried to sound as if he really wanted to please his wife’s wishes.
Xiao Qi Feng looked at Xiao Qi Tian for a long time, he did not seem to be faking his expression. That puzzled Xiao Qi Feng, but he said with a smile: “We’ll talk about this matter later.”
Xiao Qi Tian sneered secretly. He knew it’d turn out like this, but he had to continue his act.
“Emperor Brother, didn’t you say that you’ll let Xue’er come with me? How can you go against your words now?” Xiao Qi Tian frowned, looking at Xiao Qi Feng with dissatisfaction.
Xiao Qi Feng laughed: “It’s a troubled period now. You can’t take care of her if she goes back with you. It’s better that she stayed in the palace. After all, there are many people in the palace and it’s safer here.”
Xiao Qi Tian sneered secretly once more. If he did not want to free her, then just say so, why the pompous act?
“Emperor Brother, you really are considerate.”
“Qi Tian, you’re funny, let’s talk about Ning Meng Yao’s matter first, shall we? So you went there and searched the place, did you find anything?” Xiao Qi Feng quickly changed the subject, it was better to not talk too much about Mu Xue.
Xiao Qi Tian was not a fool. They would be exposed if they continued to talk about Mu Xue.
After all, both brothers wanted to expose each other.
“There’s nothing, I didn’t see any secret passages either.” Xiao Qi Tian was actually quite curious too, how did they leave?
The four gates at all four directions of the capital were heavily guarded now, and they did not manage to find any secret passage, how did Ning Meng Yao leave the capital without alerting the soldiers?
“Did you search carefully?” Xiao Qi Feng asked in surprise.
“Emperor Brother, if you don’t believe me, you can go and see for yourself.” Xiao Qi Tian naturally sensed the distrust in Xiao Qi Feng’s words and he sneered immediately.
“I don’t mean that. No matter what, you have to pay more attention.” Xiao Qi Feng’s smile remained unchanged on his face, and his attitude towards Xiao Qi Tian was as if nothing had happened before.
However, Xiao Qi Tian could not be like him.
“Very well, if there’s nothing more, then I’ll go back first.” Xiao Qi Tian stood up. He did not wish to stay any longer.
Xiao Qi Feng frowned at Xiao Qi Tian: “We are still brothers.”
“It’s true that we are brothers, but we will never be the same. You have changed. You’ve even hurt your own blood brother, and threatened me.” Xiao Qi Tian looked at Xiao Qi Feng and spoke in a tone as if he was mocking himself.
Xiao Qi Feng stared at Xiao Qi Tian, but he did not refute his complaint. He just watched him silently, and finally he waved his hand: “Go if you want.”
Exhaustion filled Xiao Qi Feng’s voice as he watched Xiao Qi Tian leave. The strong Xiao Qi Feng suddenly collapsed his shoulders in defeat.
“Your Highness, are you okay?” Seeing this, Xiao Qi Feng’s trusted palace eunuch quickly came to him and asked on one knee.
“I’m fine.”
“Your Highness, why are you hiding this matter from the prince? Wouldn’t it be better to tell him?”
Xiao Qi Feng shook his head and said with a smile: “This is fine.”
He alone should carry this matter. Xiao Qi Tian and Qiao Tian Chang just had to live on with their current lives, that would be good enough.
Nan Zhuang looked at Xiao Qi Feng’s current state, and thought about how the prince was also avoiding the Emperor now. Even the way he addressed him changed from “Brother” to “Emperor Brother”.
Although it seemed that nothing changed on the surface, Nan Zhuang, who had served Xiao Qi Feng for so many years, could naturally see through him. Although the Emperor did not admit it, he was definitely feeling uncomfortable.
Xiao Qi Tian returned to his residence and threw himself on the bed. Thinking of Xiao Qi Feng’s words, he just felt a sense of satire and sarcasm.
They had already come to this point, did he not think that it was too late to ask for a reconciliation now?
On the carriage, Qiao Tian Chang looked at Ning Meng Yao: “How long more before we reach?” They had been in the carriage for several days, he was sure to fall sick if they still had a long way to go.
