Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(155) Body couldn't act freely, really sorry

Xiao Xu entered the drawing room and saw Xiao Ran sitting on the chair with a very pale face. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and berate. "Your body is still seriously injured, instead of properly recuperating inside the palace you are running all over the place. Is it because you are tired of living?"

Originally he was still worried that First older royal brother would still be mad at him. Now hearing this berating tone he hadn't heard for so long, Xiao Ran's pair of eyes heated up and he blurted out. "First older royal brother, it isn't deliberate that this younger brother didn't come out to wash away all the suspicion on you. It's just that ——body couldn't act freely, I'm truly sorry!"

Seeing his self-blame and heavily injured body, Xiao Xu sighed in his heart. "This matter had nothing to do with you, you don't need to blame yourself."

"First older royal brother, could it be that we as princes must massacre each other for that position?" Xiao Ran had a sudden urge to say everything on his mind. This period of time he laid on the bed, his heart was at a loss, full of fear for the future. But he didn't know who to talk to about this. Only at this moment he found someone to pour it all out to.

"First Older royal brother, I'm afraid. In the end, I may become the kind of person I loathe."

Xiao Xu extended his hand to pat his shoulder, using meaningful and heartfelt words to say. "Guard your heart and you can maintain your original intention."

The rim of Xiao Ran's eyes turned red, but he knew he was a manly man. Real men don't cry! Therefore he could only hold it back with great difficulty. "This younger brother will keep in mind First Older royal brother's instructions."

"Go back, don't let people be worried." Xiao Xu said faintly.

Xiao Ran nodded, before he left, he turned his head around to say. "I secretly sneaked out of the imperial palace, can't stay for too long. First older royal brother, you help me tell Chu Qing-Yan I'm sorry." If not for him, Qing-Yan wouldn't have had to kneel for such a long time.

After Xiao Ran left, a pair of black boots with gold thread appeared at the gate. White eyebrows were gently raised. "Your Father Emperor because of him spared nothing to make things difficult for you. His mother concubine shot needles everywhere when treating you. It's hard to come by that you still treat him with an utterly sincere heart. Among the royal family, this benevolent heart is rare and precious ah!"

He could hear the pity in Grandpa Emperor's words to him, Xiao Xu replied faintly. "This grandson is merely following his own inner heart, can't be considered benevolent."

"Scoff, scoff, scoff. Grandpa experience as many things as you may think. You are still able to be a friend as an older brother that respects your younger brother, carry on filial piety and fraternal duty." The Retired Emperor walked into the drawing room while shaking his head as he said this. His tone had a trace of disbelief, but he also felt that within reason he still somewhat understood this royal grandson of his.

"It's all because Grandpa Emperor had taught me well. What's more, Fourth younger royal brother is also your royal grandson." Xiao Xu handed him a cup of tea, his tone was ordinary as he retorted.

The Retired Emperor suddenly opened his eyes wide. "Is it because you had stayed with Yan girl for a long time that you also learned to contradict me?"

Xiao Xu did not pay any heed to Grandfather Emperor's stopping in the middle character. In a clear and faint tone, he said. "Qing-Yan is still young, some areas where she didn't do things well, I ask Grandpa Emperor to forgive her."

"Still haven't married her to enter the door, yet your arm has already started to stick outside. Xiao Xu, don't you forget I'm your grandfather ah!" The Retired Emperor fumed.
