Chapter 426 Conspiracy
Chapter 426 Conspiracy
In the Qilin Palace, the eldest prince Qin Mingyu waited for a long time in his original residence. His patience was gradually worn out, and the displeasure between his brows became more and more intense.
He stood in front of the flower table and with a casual wave of his hand, the Clivia and the flowerpot fell to the ground. With a dull "bang", the flowerpot broke into pieces and the soil splashed everywhere.
He has never waited for any of his brothers. Is he deliberately making trouble in front of him? What kind of news can make the timid Qin Mingfan dare to be so arrogant and disrespectful to him?
"Someone, go and see what the twelfth prince is busy with and what he is doing that has kept me waiting for so long."
The eldest prince Qin Mingyu ordered in a cold voice.
The eunuch immediately responded "Yes" and was about to turn around and go to the twelfth prince's courtyard when the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan appeared in front of the door. His steps were a little disordered, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.
He paused at the door, took a deep breath, and then walked into the hall.
"Hello, big brother. I, I... kept you waiting for a long time."
Seeing this, the eldest prince Qin Mingyu frowned slightly and said, "Little Twelve, you kept me waiting for so long."
The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan had beads of sweat on his forehead, and he stammered, "Brother, it's true... There is a reason for this."
"I almost fell into the water just now. Fortunately, a loyal servant rescued me in time. When I came back, I was soaked. The servants around me were worried that I would catch a cold and that it would be impolite to wear wet clothes in front of my brother, so they asked me to go back and change clothes before coming here. That delayed me."
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, big brother." The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan looked ashamed.
The eldest prince Qin Mingyu's expression warmed up and he asked with concern: "Have you called the imperial physician? What did the imperial physician say?"
"Yes, I am in a hurry to see my elder brother. I asked the doctor to wait in my hospital first. I will drink a bowl of soup to dispel the cold and soothe my nerves later."
The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan nodded, and his hands hidden behind his back nervously crumpled the corners of his clothes.
The eldest prince Qin Mingyu frowned and looked at his timid twelfth brother Qin Mingfan, "Go back to see the imperial physician first, and we'll talk about the homework later."
"Yes, yes, brother."
The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan followed closely behind the eldest prince Qin Mingyu, who was walking towards his courtyard with a sullen look on his face.
After the imperial physician finished taking the patient's pulse and left with the medicine box, the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan immediately sent away the palace maids and eunuchs.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were sent away all looked as if they were used to it.
"Brother, I..." The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan pursed his lips slightly, wanting to say something but stopping himself. The hesitation between his brows made the eldest prince Qin Mingyu roll his eyes.
"If you have something to say, just say it." The eldest prince Qin Mingyu said impatiently.
If his twelfth brother had not always been like this, he would have suspected that the other party was deliberately trying to anger him.
The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan leaned close to the eldest prince's ear and said in a trembling voice: "Ninth brother and second sister are plotting to frame eldest brother."
"What?" The eldest prince Qin Mingyu was stunned.
"Yesterday, I was serving ink to Ninth Brother in his courtyard. Second sister came to look for Ninth Brother at the order of our mother, and I overheard it by accident." The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan had a flattering look on his face.
"Tell me in detail, what did they say?" The eldest prince Qin Mingyu raised his eyes, looking directly at the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan with burning gaze.
"Yesterday, after my ninth brother and second sister had discussed what our father and mother had told us to do, namely the cases of Concubine Yu and my third brother, my ninth brother asked me to leave. But before I left the yard, I suddenly remembered that the inkstone he said he would give me had fallen, so I turned around and went back.
Who knew that outside the door, I accidentally heard my ninth brother and second sister saying that Concubine Yu and the third brother were adopted mother and son, and that my mother and the eldest brother were also adopted mother and son. They said that the eldest brother was used to being the eldest prince, and they said that it would be better to use this incident to suppress your arrogance. "
The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan stammered.
