Married To The Cruel Crown Prince Chapter 475 - Learned This From You

Chapter 475 - Learned This From You

Lei Wanxi walked past Prince Nianzu's chamber and sighed. 'I miss you, and I am angry at you. Brother never loved me.' Lei Wanxi walked ahead and pulled out the fan from his sash. After his mother's lecture, Lei Wanxi was feeling strange.
"What is happening in the Palace? My mother talked badly about Brother Sheng. I used to think only Zhu Lin considered me weak, but I was wrong." He moved the fan gently against his face and halted at his place.
"I am craving for something good. That pungent smell is still in my nostrils. It's making me sick," Lei Wanxi muttered. He closed the fan in his hand and took out the perfume from his pocket. Taking the scent of it, he felt good. "Brother Nianzu gifted me this perfume. Now, only his memories are left behind. It's so sickening. First Hu Jingguo left this world and then Brother Nianzu left the Palace," he put the lid over the perfume bottle and put it inside his pocket.
Reminiscing about his old days, a smile appeared on his lips. He took a deep breath and walked ahead when he saw his second brother. "Brother Yongzheng!" He called out the name of the Second Prince, but he did not hear him. Lei Wanxi walked behind him and found Yongzheng was going to the Western Palace.
'Why is the Second Brother heading to the Western Palace?' Lei Wanxi wondered. The western palace was for the Eunuchs, servants, and royal maids of the Palace. He stopped and hid behind a pillar as he saw Yongzheng was conversing with a servant.
Lei Wanxi tried to hear their conversation but could not hear any word because of the distance and also because of the low pitch. Yongzheng turned his head when Lei Wanxi quickly hid behind the pillar.
Yongzheng again turned to the servant and handed him a tiny porcelain bottle. "One drop is enough," Yongzheng told the servant.
"After you will complete your work, leave the palace, and also the capital. If I find you here, then that will be your last day," Yongzheng threatened the servant, who bowed his head. "Leave," Yongzheng ordered him. The servant walked away while Yongzheng went back to the Eastern Palace.
Lei Wanxi came to the front from behind the pillar and brought the tip of the fan under his chin. "What did Brother Yongzheng hand to the servant? Did he rectify or did he act in front of everyone?" He murmured.
"He has arranged the poison," Lei Wanxi heard the voice of Zhu Lin, and it scared him. He astonishingly looked at her and asked her what she was doing there.
"I followed you," Zhu Lin replied. "Come with me," Zhu Lin grasped the hand of Lei Wanxi and dragged him along with her. They both came to an isolated place when Lei Wanxi told her to leave his hand. Zhu Lin let go of it.
"You cannot hold my hand whenever you please," Lei Wanxi reminded her.
"Forgive me," Zhu Lin quickly apologized.
"The Palace is so dirty," Zhu Lin suddenly remarked.
"Are you sure that the Second Brother arranged the poison?" Lei Wanxi asked Zhu Lin.
"Those bottles are specially made to store poison," Zhu Lin replied. "But we need to confirm it," she added.
"I will inform Brother Sheng about this," Lei Wanxi suggested.
"Why do you always bother your Fifth Brother?" Zhu Lin asked him and frowned. "You told me that your brain works more than anyone else here. At least show everyone your capability," she suggested.
Lei Wanxi chuckled and nodded his head. "I was skeptical of the Second Brother but did not know that he would act gently in front of Brother Sheng," he asserted.
"Prince Wanxi, would you like to tell me why there are so many enemies of the Crown Prince? Is it because he is cold to people and mercilessly kills people?" Zhu Lin queried.
"Watch your words, Zhu Lin. My Fifth Brother is not merciless," Lei Wanxi furiously said. "Do not judge Brother Sheng," he added. "He is the most loving person that is why some are jealous of him. They know that they can never equal my brother, so find ways to harm Brother Sheng."
Zhu Lin hummed and crossed her arms. "We can catch the servant and take the poison from him," Zhu Lin stated.
"No. The Second Prince will try to formulate new ways then. It is important to bring his real face in front of everyone. You do not need to do anything. I will handle it on my own," proclaimed Lei Wanxi.
"Are you sure?" Zhu Lin was worried that Lei Wanxi could make a mistake.
"Zhu Lin, why do you underestimate me so much? Wait, why are we even talking? Didn't I tell you not to come in front of me?" Lei Wanxi questioned her. "Go away," he pushed her, but Zhu Lin didn't budge from her place. Instead, she grasped his hand and twisted it. Lei Wanxi started to scream. "Ahhh. Let go of my hand, Zhu," he pleaded with her.
Zhu Lin loosened her grip from Lei Wanxi's hand. "Prince Wanxi, I am training you to be a little stronger. You should bear this little pain," stated Zhu Lin.
"Zhu Lin, why do you torture me this way?" Lei Wanxi cried in pain.
"Torture! Prince Wanxi, this is to train you. It will help you know how much you need to move your muscles," Zhu Lin stated and smiled. She let go of his arm. Immediately, Lei Wanxi turned to her and scowled at her.
He lifted his hand and winced in pain. Zhu Lin was shocked to see that Lei Wanxi was not arguing with her. It appeared to her that Lei Wanxi had taken the lesson from the punishment.
"Prince, I just want to make you smile," Zhu Lin said and grasped his hand. He yanked it away, and Zhu Lin fell back. Lei Wanxi quickly extended his hand out to grab her hand, but then he did not hold it. Zhu Lin widened her eyes, and the next second she was on the floor with a loud thud sound. Lei Wanxi started to laugh while Zhu Lin screamed in pain.
"You- you intentionally did not lend me a hand," Zhu Lin complained.
"I have learned this from you," Lei Wanxi answered and smiled.. He walked past her while fanning himself.
